Fantastic experience: One of my favorite places to work out at in Ontario. Jeff is amazing. He truly cares about strength training and the sport of powerlifting. He really helped me reach my strength potential when I was training for a powerlifting meet a while back. It's been a while since I've been in the Kingston area but Jeff is someone I look to for advice no matter where I'm training.

Fort Strength Performance Centre

Thank you so much for the amazing review! I'm thrilled to hear you consider our gym one of your favourites in Ontario! I am super stoked that I can be a resource for you, even when you're not training in Kingston anymore. I will always remember when you messaged me saying you finished on the top of the podium back in June 2018! Super proud moment!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to the Fort for a few months now and can say it is one of the most inclusive gyms I have been to. The owner Jeff is amazing and all his trainers Lacey, Cody, Jamie and Farr are super at their training programs. The gym is clean and sanitized after each client uses the equipment. If you are looking for a judgment free and supportive environment to begin or continue your health journey, this is definitely the best gym around!

Fantastic experience: Definitely the best gym in Kingston. I have been to all of them and the Fort is hands down my favourite. Incredible staff and members. Everyone there supports each other and helps one another reach their goals. Lots of places to squat and bench. They also have dumbbells that go to 200 Ibs! Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Great place to workout, welcoming and inclusive! Small, but that's just the way I like it! I don't have the patience for corporate gyms. Less a gym and more a family; everyone helps everyone else, we socialize and workout. #fortstrong

Danielle Chanda Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been working out at the Fort for over a year now. If you are going to invest in your fitness, this is the place in Kingston to do it. Staff are knowledgeable, there's a ton of equipment, and the way they run their classes takes all the planning work out of it for you...you're only job is the surviving the workout part!

Jarrett Cranston Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Fantastic training facility! Truly understands the strong link between physical and mental health. The Fort goes out of its way to ensure that it’s a welcoming environment to all... from young meat heads to first time gym goers to CrossFit freaks of nature and everything in between. The equipment is top notch and can easily accommodate a variety of training needs. As for COVID protocols, the Fort has gone above and beyond the call of duty ensuring that public health measure were not only met, but exceeded in all aspects. I 100% the decision to remain open as an essential service for those rehabbing physical and mental injuries, especially because that decision was taken after careful consultation with local health authorities. As a CAF veteran with PTSD, I cannot express enough my gratitude for having access to such a facility. Training does more for my well-being than any prescription drug that has been provided for me in the past.

Jeff and all the staff are committed to helping every single member achieve their goals. Joining this gym was one of the best decisions I've made. It is 100% worth the investment.

Paul Wilson Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: This is by far and away the best training facility in Kingston. If your focus is powerlifting and strength sports, they have the best possible equipment - high quality bars, calibrated plates, etc. They have an excellent team of coaches and and a great, friendly and supportive community of lifters who train there. Also, in contrast to some other facilities - NEVER CROWDED. Never have to worry about waiting for a rack/machine. My highest recommendation.

Emily Park Published on Google 4 years ago

The sense of community at Fort Strength is strong and one I am proud to be part of.

Fantastic experience: Jeff, the owner is one of the biggest beauties you'll ever meet! Solid guy, who cares so much about his clients/athletes. He is incredibly knowledgeable, polite, professional, and accommodating. He helped me drastically improve my technique on Deadlifts, he is incredibly smart and aware of all the latest trends and techniques. He has such high quality, state of the art equipment, you'd think you were walking into a gym built for Olympic and professional athletes. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Great workout and trainers!

Katelyn MacDonald Published on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: The Fort is my home. I share my best days and my worst days with members without any judgement. We are all here to lift and improve ourselves. The gym is an incredibly welcoming environment (seriously, Franklin will RUN to greet you when you walk in) and everyone is there to help others succeed. The equipment is awesome, calibrated plates, competition racks, assorted competition bars for both powerlifting and oly lifting, and tons of accessory machines and dumbbells. The classes are challenging and personally curated by the trainers themselves. You can see the passion and dedication that goes into this place. The owner is always trying to improve the gym and make the environment the best it can be. I can’t say enough about the Fort, and I am so glad I made the switch ~7 months ago.

Lacey Downing Published on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I found Fort, when I was looking for an environment that fit more of a “Ma and Pa” style gym, than a corporate structure. I had been bruised by some previous experience, and as a trainer it was imperative to get back at it, before I lost my passion ! I loved The Fort immediately, between Franklin ( resident pup) and the laid back atmosphere, I found a new home. After spending some time training myself in this awesome spot, I got lucky enough to hop on board as staff and share my love for fitness with other members, new and old ! Highly encourage you to come in and give yourself the opportunity to flourish, no matter your goals !
