Our Story, Your Strength

Where dedication meets results on Danforth Avenue

Lumivex Bastion Fitness Team

Built Different Since Day One

Toronto's strength training headquarters

OUR MISSION

We're Not Here to Sell You Dreams

Look, there's a million gyms out there promising quick fixes and transformation photos. That's not us.

We opened Lumivex Bastion because we got tired of seeing people wasting their time with programs that don't work. Real strength takes real work - proper programming, solid coaching, and yeah, some heavy weights.

What started as three coaches and a warehouse space on Danforth has grown into something we're genuinely proud of. We've worked with everyone from competitive athletes chasing PRs to folks who just want to feel stronger in their daily lives. The approach stays the same though - progressive overload, smart programming, and no BS.

Our crew's got the certs and the competition experience, but more importantly, we've been in your shoes. We know what it's like to grind through a plateau or come back from an injury. That's the kind of knowledge you can't get from a textbook.

How We Got Here

The milestones that shaped our fortress

October 2018

The Beginning

Opened our doors with 1,200 sq ft and a dream. Started with just barbells, platforms, and three coaches who believed in doing things right.

March 2019

First Competition Team

Our athletes took home 8 medals at the Ontario Weightlifting Championships. That's when we knew we were onto something real.

September 2020

The Expansion

Doubled our space to 2,500 sq ft. Added more platforms, new equipment, and room for our growing community. Yeah, we did this during a pandemic.

January 2022

500 Members Strong

Hit a milestone we honestly didn't think was possible. Brought on 6 new coaches to keep our coaching quality where it needs to be.

June 2023

National Recognition

Named one of Canada's Top 10 Strength Training Facilities by Performance Athletics Magazine. Pretty cool for a warehouse gym on Danforth.

Today

Still Growing

850+ members, 12 coaches, and we're still the same gym that cares more about your progress than your Instagram photos.
