On Friday we received our custom design back2back half rack from @gainefitnesscanada. Doug went out of his way to fulfill our order and we couldn’t be happier. If you want quality Alberta made fitness equipment Doug at Gaine Fitness is the shit. #fuckchina #strongnotskinny #powerlifting #squats #deadlifts #fitnessmotivation #fitness #fit #fuckcovid19

Tremendous class tonight! More closed guard attacks and sweeps.

We are excited to announce that Crank Wrestling will be running an August camp for our club members. The format will be a little different this year, we want to... offer a well rounded combative camp. Athletes will of course practice their wrestling, but also learn kickboxing and submission holds. Information regarding ages, cost & length will be posted next week. The date for the camp will be August 17-21.

Had a fantastic first week of jui jitsu! Thanks guys and gals for coming out and training. Just a quick note. Women’s self defence/ jui jitsu will be cancelled for the duration of the summer.Any women that still want to come train are welcome to join the main class at 7:30 Tuesday and Thursday. We will restart the women’s classes in the fall.

As much as we appreciate you all thinking of us and wanting to leave equipment towels for the next person, now is not the time. Laundry soap is cheap compared to covid.

Welcome back everyone.

Well today is the day we’ve been waiting for. Due to regulations regarding Covid-19 we are now a private facility. Potential new members will now have to call ahead (403-597-0939) to arrange an interview and a referral from from one or more current members will be required. Our rules are simple, keep yourself and equipment clean and if you are concerned with covid or are experiencing symptoms of covid-Stay home!

Hello everyone. Sorry for the delay on posting regarding the gym opening. Our Alberta government in its infinite wisdom chose to give us three days notice that we could open and unfortunately we have been gone on a family vacation (hunting). The gym is in chaos as we have been painting and replacing equipment so we need a few days this up coming week to finish up. As of now the mats will be open on the evening of Friday June 19 to bring that section and everyone involved... with the mats up to speed regarding new protocols. The gym will then open Monday June 22 to the membership as a whole. We are very excited to have everyone back and can’t wait for everyone to see the improved front end. See you soon Shane

Hey guys and gals, I’m pleased to officially welcome everyone back to the mats on Friday the 19th! We will soft open with a judo class followed up by open mats if time permits. Everyone who is taking ANY of the classes please show up at 6:30 to have a detailed orientation of the new procedures which will be put in place due to covid.Hopefully we will have the new scheduling in place at this time also, but if not they will be done before the end of the weekend. It has been... a long time off the mats for all of us, and I’m sure everyone is as relieved as I am to get back to training! Hope to see you all next Friday!! Coach Bob Coach Ernst See more

Finally some common sense push back!

A hard pill to swallow. My best deadlift ever at 551 which would have equaled the current masters world record. I got called by 2 of 3 judges for a hitch near the top of the lift. A personal best but officially a no lift. I hope we can get past this Coronavirus, so the Blackstone boys can get to Nationals and bring some world records home #Deadlift #master #fitness #powerlifting #powerbelly

We are starting to do some painting at the gym and couldn’t resist. I am what I am. Don’t worry Georgeanna will get it covered! #coronastrong #corona #gymlife #fitnessmotivation #fuckcoronavirus #deadlift #deadlifttillimdead

Hang in there guys and girls.This will be over eventually and we can get back to training.

Stay positive, like these Italians in quarantine, tribe. Crank some metal, roll some smoke, drink a beer and do your best to workout at home. We’ll be open as soon as we can, and we can’t wait.

The gym may be officially closed for the Covid-19 virus but we all have to do our best to keep training at home and living our best life. For motivation, here is our boy Damien pulling a 628 lbs deadlift for the 242lb weight class event win and the biggest lift of the event @cpl_qualifier for a tested lifter last weekend . #coronastrong #powerlifting #power #deadlifttillimdead #deadlift #fitnessmotivation #fitness #strong

We were gonna try to make it work but we are officially closed until the Alberta Government lifts the emergency health act. #coronastrong
