DRAKARION CITADEL

Forge Your Warrior Spirit

Look, we're not your typical gym with rows of treadmills and boring machines. This place? It's where ancient warrior training meets modern strength science. We've built something that'll test every fiber of who you are.

Whether you're swinging battle ropes, lifting atlas stones, or learning sword & shield cardio that'll gas you faster than any spin class ever could - you're gonna discover what real functional strength feels like.

Medieval Combat Training

What We're Really About

Forget the cookie-cutter fitness stuff. Every warrior who walks through our doors gets trained like they're preparing for actual battle - because that's exactly the mindset that transforms bodies.

Strongman Training

Strongman & Powerlifting

We've got atlas stones, yokes, farmer's walks - the real deal. Been running these programs for years, and honestly? Nothing builds raw power quite like moving heavy, awkward objects that don't want to cooperate.

Medieval Combat Fitness

Medieval Combat Fitness

Yeah, we actually train with swords and shields. It's not roleplay - it's one of the most intense cardio workouts you'll ever experience. Your core, shoulders, and grip strength? They're gonna thank you later.

Functional Warrior Conditioning

The Arsenal of Training

Here's what separates us from every other gym in Vancouver - we've taken centuries of warrior conditioning and fused it with cutting-edge strength programming.

Functional Warrior Conditioning

Move like you mean it. We're talking full-body movements that actually translate to real-world strength. No isolation machines gathering dust here.

Olympic Weightlifting

Clean & jerk, snatch - these lifts demand explosive power and precision. Our coaches've been doing this long enough to fix your form before bad habits stick.

Battle Rope & Obstacle Training

Our obstacle course isn't some weekend warrior playground. It's designed to push your limits and build the kind of endurance that carries over to everything else you do.

Personal Training & Nutrition

Sometimes you need someone in your corner who gets it. Our trainers aren't just certified - they've walked the path and know how to get you there too.

Why Warriors Choose The Citadel

Real talk from people who've actually put in the work here.

"I've been to a lot of gyms over the years, but nothing comes close to this. The medieval combat training sounded gimmicky at first - I'll admit it. But after three months? I'm in the best shape of my life and actually look forward to every session."

- Marcus T.

Vancouver, BC

"The coaches here don't mess around, but they genuinely care about your progress. Started with personal training because I had no clue what I was doing with Olympic lifts. Now I'm hitting PRs I never thought possible."

- Sarah K.

Burnaby, BC

"If you're tired of boring workouts and want something that'll actually challenge you, this is it. The strongman training is brutal in the best way. Community here's solid too - everyone pushes each other."
