Small Group Strength Training in Toronto
GET STRONGER — WITHOUT HAVING TO FIGURE IT OUT ON YOUR OWN
TBA Strength is an 8-week Small Group Strength Training program designed for adults who want to get stronger, move better and feel more confident with weight training.
You don't need to be an experienced lifter.
You don't need to already belong to Toronto Boxing Academy.
And you don't need to know your way around a weight room.
We'll teach you what to do, how to do it properly and how to progress safely over time.
2 coached strength sessions per week. Small groups. Multiple training times. A clear plan to get stronger.
STRENGTH TRAINING DOESN'T HAVE TO BE INTIMIDATING
You know getting stronger is important.
But walking into a gym and trying to figure everything out yourself can be overwhelming.
What exercises should you do?
How much weight should you use?
Is your technique right?
When should you increase the weight?
That's exactly why we created TBA Strength.
You get the structure of a professionally designed strength program with the coaching and accountability of personal training — in a supportive small-group environment.
TRAIN WHEN IT WORKS FOR YOU
Getting stronger shouldn't depend on being available at one specific time every week.
TBA Strength participants train twice per week and can choose from available morning, midday and evening training sessions.
All sessions require advance online booking and have limited capacity.
This gives you more flexibility while allowing us to maintain the small-group coaching experience.
Choose your sessions. Reserve your spot. Train twice per week.
Once a session reaches capacity, participants can choose another available training time.
SMALL GROUP REALLY MEANS SMALL GROUP
TBA Strength isn't a crowded fitness class where you're expected to follow along with everyone else.
Limiting the number of participants allows your coach to:
- Watch your technique
- Make individual corrections
- Modify exercises when necessary
- Help select appropriate weights
- Track your progress
- Get to know your individual abilities
You get more individual attention than a traditional group fitness class without the cost of one-on-one personal training.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
Our program is built around foundational strength movements including:
Squat
Bench Press
Deadlift
Overhead Press
But everyone doesn't have to perform every exercise exactly the same way.
Different equipment and exercise variations can be used depending on your experience, mobility and comfort.
The goal isn't to force everyone into the same workout.
The goal is to help everyone become stronger from where they are starting.
STRENGTH TRAINING THAT MEETS YOU WHERE YOU ARE
You don't have to move like a 25-year-old to benefit from strength training.
Whether you're new to lifting, returning after years away or simply looking for a safer and more structured way to become stronger, we'll meet you at your current level.
Exercises can be modified and different variations can be used while still following the same overall strength progression.
Whether you're 35, 55 or 70+, the objective remains the same:
Build strength. Build confidence. Keep progressing.
OUR FIRST TBA STRENGTH GROUP
Our first TBA Strength group consisted of four participants ranging from their late 50s into their 70s.
They trained twice per week for eight weeks using the same structured progression system that forms the foundation of TBA Strength.
By the end of the eight weeks:
All four participants reached our Level 1 — Foundation strength standard.
They didn't need to be experienced lifters.
They didn't need to train every day.
They needed a plan, consistency and coaching.
That's what TBA Strength provides.
WHO IS TBA STRENGTH FOR?
TBA Strength may be a great fit if:
- You want to get stronger but aren't sure where to start
- Walking into a traditional weight room feels intimidating
- You've tried exercising on your own but aren't sure you're doing things correctly
- You want individual coaching without the cost of one-on-one personal training
- You want to maintain strength and muscle as you get older
- You prefer a structured program instead of random workouts
- You want accountability
- You enjoy training alongside a small group of supportive people
- You're already active but want to become stronger
No previous lifting experience is required.
And you do not need to be a boxer or a Toronto Boxing Academy member to participate.
WHAT TO EXPECT IN EACH SESSION
STRUCTURED WARM-UP
Prepare your body for strength training while reinforcing good movement patterns.
MAIN STRENGTH WORK
Work on foundational strength movements using exercises and variations appropriate for you.
ACCESSORY TRAINING
Additional exercises help develop overall strength, balance, stability and movement quality.
COACHING & FEEDBACK
Your coach provides guidance on technique, exercise selection and progression throughout the program.
PROGRESS TRACKING
Your training isn't random. We'll track your progress throughout the eight weeks so you can see how far you've come.
TRAIN TOGETHER. PROGRESS INDIVIDUALLY.
TBA Strength is small-group training, which means you'll train alongside other participants while still following weights and exercise variations appropriate for you.
During the main strength exercises, participants may work in pairs — alternating sets, helping each other prepare equipment and providing a spot when appropriate.
This format has another important benefit: built-in recovery time.
While your partner completes their set, you get the rest you need before your next one. Rather than rushing from exercise to exercise, sessions are structured to give you appropriate recovery so you can focus on performing each set with good technique and effort.
Your coach oversees the session, provides instruction and makes sure each participant is working at the appropriate level.
You train together, support each other and progress at your own pace.
THE TBA STRENGTH LEVEL SYSTEM
DON'T JUST WORK OUT. WORK TOWARD SOMETHING.
One of the things that makes TBA Strength different is our Level System.
At the end of your training block, you'll have the opportunity to test your progress and work toward one of our strength levels:
LEVEL 1 — FOUNDATION
Build the fundamental strength standards that create your base.
LEVEL 2 — STRONG
Continue progressing beyond your Foundation standards.
LEVEL 3 — BATTLE READY
Our advanced strength standard and something to continue working toward.
The Level System gives you:
- A clear goal
- Measurable progress
- Something to work toward
- A reason to keep getting stronger
Your first goal isn't to compete with anyone else.
It's to establish your own Foundation.
MORE THAN JUST TWO WORKOUTS PER WEEK
Getting stronger isn't only about what happens during your training sessions.
Throughout the 8-week program, you'll also receive practical nutrition and lifestyle information designed to complement your strength training.
No crash diets.
No extreme restrictions.
Just straightforward information to help you make better choices and support the work you're doing in the gym.
