Scorrybreac Barbell

Fantastic experience: Scorrybreac Barbell was very easy to access and extremely clean. All the equipment was neat and in order and ideally spaced out. Everything we needed for powerlifting and accessories was there which was great. In addition, there was a big speaker that was awesome to use while working out. Definitely recommend this spot for any gym rat.

Fantastic experience: Great quality equipment and great community

Fantastic experience: Amazing powerlifting gym. The guy that helped me get in, Alastair. Was very helpful giving me advice on all three of my lifts. He didn’t have to but went out of his way to help me. Also the equipment in there where wonderful, love the layout of the gym. Would highly recommend this gym.

Fantastic experience: Amazing Gym! Great staff and members!

Fantastic experience: As a long time powerlifter I know the importance of meet day handling and coaching. I recently had entered a competition in a new federation to me WRPF, I had no handler lined up when a page came across my Instagram account. Meet Day Handler contact Scorrybreac barbell. So I made contact and the response was immediate. After a couple emails and a phone call. I took off to my competition where I met the man who was going to change my life. Alastair is the most professional and understanding strength coach I've met in a long time. We looked at the selections for each lift, made some changes here and there. Alastair watch my warmups closely and suggested some little changes here and there. So we began our journey with a conservative opening lift. Then together the decision was made to step on the gas. After roughly 3.5 hrs Alastair and I had broken 8 national records and 5 world records and gone 9 for 9 for the first time in my career. I firmly believe that none of this was possible without Alastair's guidance. I can't thank him enough and highly recommend him to anyone wanting to achieve their potential both in the gym or on the platform. Thanks Again Ben

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym!! Great equipment, has something for everyone. Everyone is kind considerate and respectful and the gym itself is very clean

Fantastic experience: Fantastic place with exceptional people! If you're seeking a location with great culture and top-of-the-line equipment, look no further!

Fantastic experience: A hidden gem nestled in Orangeville! The gym is spacious, clean, and equipped with everything you need for strength training. I thoroughly enjoyed my training session here and will definitely be back. Thanks Alaistar and Erica!

Fantastic experience: I loved dropping into this strength training playground … love the location, and all the equipment, I can’t not wait to go back and lift (play) again. Thank you so much for welcoming me in.

Fantastic experience: I hired Erica for meet day handling at Royal City Rumble 2. It was such a great decision to hire a handler and having her to help me provided valuable peace of mind and boosted my performance on the platform.

Fantastic experience: Took my son who is interested in powerlifting for a session to get some tips on his technique and to ask a bunch of questions about powerlifting in general and about competitions in Ontario. The gym is very well equipped and Alistair and Erica were very friendly and very knowledgeable. We both got some good information, tips and advice from the session.

Fantastic experience: Scorrybreac is the best gym in the area. There is a reason why people drive from so far away to workout here. There is a wide variety of high quality equipment for all realms of fitness. I see powerlifters, olympic lifters and HIIT folks exercising together in a welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend this gym

Fantastic experience: Loved my sesh at Scorrybreac. Super professional and knowledgeable. Thanks guys!

Fantastic experience: I can't sing enough praises for Scorrybeach Barbell and the phenomenal team behind it. As a coach, my focus is on getting my athletes strong, but powerlifting intricacies have never been my forte. The willingness of Alistair and Erica to collaborate was a game-changer. I sought their expertise to ensure my athletes felt confident, prepared, and ready to crush their upcoming meet. The communication was top-notch, and the gym space was tailored perfectly for powerlifting needs. Erica, our day-of handler, played a pivotal role in building confidence among my athletes. With her at the helm, they can simply focus on lifting the bar, knowing every other detail will be expertly taken care of. Alistair, is like a walking encyclopedia of powerlifting. His wealth of knowledge not only prepared us for good lifts but also ensured a good time throughout the entire process." Grateful for the support and looking forward to more successful collaborations.

Fantastic experience: I came to Scorrybreac Barbell with my trainer, and two teammates as we are prepping for our first powerlifting meet. Alastair and Erica were both wonderful and knowledgeable, helping us with cues and suggestions to ensure we have a successful meet. They created a warm and comfortable environment where we’re able to ask any questions we may have and we all left feeling more prepared for our upcoming event.

Fantastic experience: I started training will Al and Erica at a time when my lifts and confidence were at their lowest. Over the last months, my lifts have form has improved, weight has gone up and increased. They focus on improving form first which has been life changing. They work with your schedule to make plans that are going to be successful and one you can stick to and are available 24/7 for feedback and advice.

Fantastic experience: Great facility, great equipment! If you are serious about lifting, this is the place to be!

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym! Clean and spacious. Everything you would need for strength training.

Fantastic experience: I couldn’t be happier going with Al for the meet day handling. He made my first powerlifting meet a breeze. He coached me through the entire day and it was a huge help. I would have been lost without him. Don’t think twice it’s well worth the money !

Fantastic experience: I would definitely recommend this facility for anyone in the area looking for a very well equipped and friendly gym for power lifting, Olympic lifting, or general exercise. I recently moved to the area from Guelph and my trainer let me know Scorrybreac may be a great option for me! It has absolutely everything I need to get super strong!!!

Fantastic experience: Phenomenal gym! Friendly members and owners, clean, multi-functional, with something for everyone. I work in another gym but wanted to give this one a try with a powerlifting friend of mine. I would highly recommend it! The feeling of being part of a community is there, unlike the bigger chain gyms. So refreshing. :) thanks for welcoming us.

Fantastic experience: Bought the day pass to try out the gym and i Loved this facility. Im a powerlifter and would lift at a commercial gym. This gyms equipment is 10000x better. The customer service has been great and definitely looking into getting a membership. Train how you play so when you play its like training;)

Fantastic experience: Amazing facility. Always clean and friendly

Fantastic experience: Great facility with access to comp equipment, great people , well priced , super accommodating of my situation (being in and out of Ontario often)

Fantastic experience: Scorrybreac has everything I'm looking for in a gym. All the equipment you'd need, never too busy, and close to Orangeville.

Fantastic experience: Really fantastic facilities with high quality equipment. Backed up with friendly and knowledgeable owners. I purchased an 8 week custom program that I'm very happy with. Looking forward to more great workouts here!

Fantastic experience: I recently joined Scorrybreac after previously powerlifting out of a commercial gym. I absolutely love this place! Scorrybreac has all the powerlifting equipment you can dream of. The owners also keep the gym very organized and clean! All of the other members have been so nice and welcoming. Overall a great community! 10/10 experience so far! :)

Fantastic experience: So happy I was introduced to this amazing facility! The gym has everything you need to push yourself through your toughest workout and fit your goals. All the people are extremely welcoming and make you feel like family even if it is your first time visiting. Had the pleasure of my first session there a couple weeks back and very excited to visit again this weekend!!

Fantastic experience: I had to write another review just because my love for this place has grown so much since my last review (which I didn’t think was possible!). There is no better gym out there. There is no better community than the Scorrybreac one. The members are family and Erica and Al are truly the best! I could thank them everyday for deciding to put this gym out in East Garafraxa for us! Worth the drive wherever you live-if that’s far away too! They are always asking members for feedback and updating equipment to make it truly one of a kind. Competition equipment, cleanest facility and amazing atmosphere. The gym reflects their love for the sport.Go once and you’ll be hooked, thank me later!!

Fantastic experience: As a newcomer to both lifting and a gym environment I am so grateful to have found such a supportive place, with such an easy-going vibe. Alastair really helped me feel welcome and at home in the space, and while he had a lot of good information whenever I needed help, he also gave me space to work away quietly. I brought my friend who has plenty of different gym experiences and who is a long-time lifter, and she agreed with my feelings - she told me how lucky I am to find Scorrybreac! I cannot recommend this place and these people enough!!!

Fantastic experience: I had a great first visit to the gym recently with my powerlifting team. The gym itself is beautiful and the people there are very supportive!

Fantastic experience: Wonderful gym! The atmosphere is incredibly supportive and helpful people everywhere. Definitely coming back soon!

Fantastic experience: Great equipment and super friendly people!! Needed to a gym to train at in the Caledon area that was powerlifting friendly and this was perfect.

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere and top notch equipment. Powerlifters paradise. Highly recommend checking this gym out, you won't be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: Made the trip to get some coaching from Alastair a few weeks ago. Fantastic experience and got everything I wanted out of the session! Alastair was patient and thorough and provided great feedback on my lifts in a way that was supportive and easy to execute. What can I say, the man's a good coach! And even though he was busy, he extended my coaching time an extra hour at my request. Alastair and Erica run a great establishment and 10/10 looking forward to working with them in the future. <3 <3

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing training facility with top of the line equipment! Erica and Alastair are great coaches to work with and take the right amount of time to address any questions or concerns. It has only been a month getting coached by the Scorrybreac team but I’m already seeing better results than my previous 8 months of training with cookie cutter programs!

Fantastic experience: Great Gym! So clean, beautiful location, everyone is so friendly and this is the place to set some goals and really crush them!

Fantastic experience: Top notch facility with incredibly passionate owners. Ambassadors of strength sports.

Fantastic experience: Unreal atmosphere, fantastic people. Best gym within a large area by a wide margin!

Fantastic experience: I was competing in the open class 90kg. Raw . I'm 60 years old. It was my first sanctioned meet. I thought the whole thing was really cool being semi out doors on what seemed like a farm. Being my Ist experience at a real meet I thought everyone was real cool and super friendly. Spotters were top notch and warm up room people were very helpful.

Fantastic experience: Awesome facility and awesome coaches. Super welcoming environment overall and a great place for meet day and training

Fantastic experience: THIS GYM IS AND CONTINUES TO BE ONE OF MY FAVORITE PLACES TO BE AND DEFINITELY THE BEST GYM I HAVE EVER BEEN A PART OF. I WOULD RECCOMEND IT TO ANYONE LOOKING TO BETTER THEMSELVES WHETHER YOU ARE A BEGINNER OR ADVANCED LIFTER THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU.

Fantastic experience: I competed in the Scorrybreac II meet last weekend. Great facility, great equipment from what I could see, and Alastair and Erica are extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and all around good people, especially when it comes to powerlifting. Me and a few guys from my gym plan on coming up in the summer for some training, and after this experience, we can’t wait!

Fantastic experience: Amazing people, amazing facility.

Fantastic experience: Attended the Scorrybreac Barbell Open this weekend and was amazed at how efficient and proffesional everthing was, really made for a great day of competition. Thank you Erica and Al for a great gym!!

Fantastic experience: If you’re interested in powerlifting or CrossFit, there isn’t a better place to be. Between the equipment and the knowledge held by Alastair and Erica you’d be hard pressed to find a better option anywhere else.

Fantastic experience: Incredible facility, amazing community of lifters and just a great place to train or attend your first powerlifting meet!

Fantastic experience: I attended a powerlifting meet recently, Scorrybreac Open II. Both @amacnicol and @erica_nagy were wonderful hosts and kept the venue humming along. I was impressed that they had planned for rain, and when it did rain, the meet kept humming along, The judging was spot on and the platform crew excellent. Issues were well handled and everyone was very professional! Highly recommended! Pay them a visit!

Fantastic experience: Scorry Breac is a great powerlifting gym, very friendly staff and lots of equipment. Puts on a great powerlifting meet too!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this gym, the atmosphere is uplifting and fun! The members are friendly and cheer you on when doing a PR lift. The owners are so welcoming, friendly and supportive. I definitely would go back and would recommend.

Fantastic experience: Scorrybreac barbell is An amazing gym. I started going earlier on and love to see the gym constantly improved and the quality of equipment they have. Not only is it a great facility but the environment and people here are just unmatched.

Fantastic experience: Amazing environment and owners! Al and Erica are wonderful to work with and their coaching option was perfect for getting me started with powerlifting and showing me the ropes. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking to improve their strength and technique in the gym whether you're a beginner or at an advanced level training in the gym.

Fantastic experience: Excellent atmosphere to train in. The owner is super friendly and helpful and the gym is clean and has everything you need.

Fantastic experience: This place is awesome. I’ve been going to Scorrybreac for about a month now and it’s pretty clear I found the gym for me. The environment here is second to none, it’s the first gym I have been to that I am excited to see other people at because Alastair and Erica have created such a motivating environment of like minded people who are all showing up to hit their goals. On top of that the gear and equipment is top notch and plentiful, I have been able to expand my workouts because of the options at your disposal here. If you’re on the fence, give it a shot and you won’t look back!

Fantastic experience: An absolute playground for every kind of barbell and strength sport/athlete. Competition PL discs, bumper plates, chrome and standard irons - if you train powerlifting, weightlifting, CrossFit, in pounds or kilos, you’ll have a ton of fun here. Al and Erica (and the crew!) are incredibly welcoming. I came alone and immediately felt like I was lifting with friends. Worth the trip if you’re from Toronto/GTA !

Fantastic experience: I did a drop-in at Scorrybreac and it was nothing but welcoming! Erica and Alastair are fabulous, the members were all welcoming, and their space is top notch! I’ll definitely be back!

Fantastic experience: Travel time for us is never important when you find the right environment to train in . We have a 2 hour trip to the gym each way to train in an environment created specifically for athletes to train on real strength equipment. This gym was created by a true athlete and made for athletes . Kilo plates , comp equipment with no drama . What more could you ask for ?

Fantastic experience: Amazing experience. Knowledgeable and passionate owners. Safe lifting environment. All of those qualities are great. However, the greatest quality, is that it’s suitable for lifters of all levels. Anybody who wants to workout and learn at the same time should check this place out.

Fantastic experience: Had a great time at Scorrybreac barbell. First time coming down and was well worth the drive. Al and Erica were very supportive and the facility has such a great atmosphere with a variety of high quality equipment. can’t wait to come back!!. HIGHLY recommend.

Fantastic experience: Amazing facility! Amazing owners! Amazing environment! Worst every penny and the trip! Definitely recommend to anyone interested!

Fantastic experience: If you scroll through all the stellar reviews of Scorrybreac Barbell you will understand why soooo many people love this place the moment you go there and start lifting. From a guy that’s been in a trade for north of 20 years my body has been beat up pretty good, so the PT I’ve gotten from Alistair has been bar none the best ingredient to my workout routine when it comes to body mechanics. He’s corrected some pretty bad habits I’ve had when it comes to lifting especially my squat. I feel more structured under a bar with what he’s taught me. The vibe you get just being there with the tall ceilings and bright lighting and astroturf running down the centre flanked by rubber mats makes you forget your inside. It feels wide open and plenty of equipment to choose from. If you’re looking to get stronger…trust me…just go there and lift something.

Fantastic experience: I went to Scorrybreac Barbell today for my first training session there. First of all, the facility is fabulous! It is a powerlifter’s dream with every possible piece of equipment you could need - deadlift bars, squat racks galore, benches, stair machine, treadmill, etc.. Secondly, Al and Erica are wonderful people! So nice and welcoming. Incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about powerlifting and how to take your training to the next level. I couldn’t recommend Scorrybreac enough, and I’ll be sure to be back for regular training and every powerlifting meet they host!

Fantastic experience: Hands down one of the best gyms I have been to, very welcoming environment as well as all the powerlifting equipment you would ever need!

Fantastic experience: Where do I begin with this amazing gym? The atmosphere alone will make you feel welcome and that you have been there for a long time, everyone hypes eachother up, the training crews are always a laugh mixed with some heavy weight! Alistar and Erica have created a wonderful environment for any level of lifter who enjoys a more smaller intense training, back by their knowledge and love of the sport you really cannot go wrong with coming here!

Fantastic experience: *Lifting for approx 2 years on my own. I’ve been looking for a gym outside of my regular commercial gym where I feel the support and encouragement I need to excel. AND IVE FOUND IT!! I Can’t say enough good things. From the minute you walk in you instantly feel like part of the team. Awesome place to workout! Alastair and Erica have created a great environment for all lifters and were really open to offering assistance with form and technique. Super knowledgeable and approachable. You feel support from everyone , just part of one big team all cheering you on to reach your goals! 100% recommend and will be back!

Fantastic experience: Scorrybreac Barbell is a top of the line facility. It has a great array of equipment in a spacious, clean and well organized setting. There is something for everyone and it allows you to get in a great workout of any style. Alastair and Erica are amazing coaches - both with extensive experience and skills. You’ll feel at home right away and will be in the best of hands! Can’t recommend enough.

The owners are also very passionate and accommodating, and it is clear that they take pride in what they do. I definitely see myself being a long standing member of this gym!

Fantastic experience: One of the best gyms I’ve ever trained at! Alastair and Erica were super welcoming and helpful and the powerlifting equipment is amazing. Great vibes - definitely check them out!

Fantastic experience: Awesome local gym for all us non local people! The owners are extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Great place if you're looking to start out, get back into it, or lift some heavy $h!t.

Fantastic experience: I booked my first free session with Al and all I can say is WOW!!! Not only was he extremely knowledgeable and able to answer all my questions, he was also very kind and welcoming. Every time I go in he is excited to answer any inquiries I have and show alternate workouts if I’m having difficulties. Erica also helped settle my nerves about coming to a new gym with her positive attitude and caring personality. I highly recommended this place, regardless of your fitness level!!!

Fantastic experience: The owners are great people and the gym has a great atmosphere. Highly recommend joining if you wanna take your training to the next level!

Fantastic experience: Awesome Gym! Owner's are extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and approachable. They will go out of their way to make you feel as comfortable as possible all while supporting and advising you in helping you reach any goals you may have! 100% would recommend!

Fantastic experience: If you're someone who is seeking to change your perspective on fitness the guidance, support and sense of community at this facility is next to none. I came to Erica and Alastair in the early fall and started personal training. The experience has been nothing but positive and given me the insight I've been looking for. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Great spot! Loved the facility!

Fantastic experience: This place is awesome, and it's owned by great people! They've been very accommodating to my workout plan and they're very helpful with what I'm trying to achieve. I'm not much of a powerlifter, but this is the kind of place where you can feel comfortable opening up to new workout concepts. Everyone that comes here are great and create such a positive environment.

Fantastic experience: 7/5. Would lift here again.

Fantastic experience: This place is amazing! The members and staff go above and beyond to make you feel like you've been there forever. If you're looking to better yourself, lift heavy, and have a great time doing it... this is where you want to be.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym, wonderful atmosphere, and awesome scenery outside!!!! If you're powerlifting visiting this gym is a MUST!

Fantastic experience: I had the best time at team training a few Sundays ago! After so many months of solo training in my little condo, it was amazing to be training in a group environment again, especially one with such a great atmosphere. What I love the most is that anyone, at any level can come to team training and feel supported. I cannot wait to come back for another session!!

Fantastic experience: Going to my first group training I was very nervous. I’m not an experienced lifter nor do I have the stature that a lot of the people there have. However, I’ve never felt more comfortable and welcome in a group-gym setting! There was no intimidation, no pressure, it was super chill and everyone was just so encouraging and motivating. I HIGHLY recommend Scorrybreac to anyone, regardless of your fitness level. Really great people, great environment, and wicked motivation to level up.

Fantastic experience: Great gym with top of the line powerlifting equipment and very friendly owners that are willing to go above and beyond helping you and making you feel welcome. Even though I live ~100km away, I will be returning to smash some more PRs!

Fantastic experience: A great facility that welcomes anyone with open arms! Both Erica and Al are extremely friendly as well. If you’re in the Orangeville area and looking for a gym where you can train hard and not have to worry about staff harassing you, this is definitely it!

Fantastic experience: One of my favourite spots to come out to train. Their group training sessions on Sundays are incredibly welcoming and SO MUCH FUN with the crew. Erica and Al provide an awesome environment for any level of lifter and provide top notch coaching. Thanks guys!!

Fantastic experience: Exactly what I am looking for to push past my current limits! The atmosphere is unbeatable.

Fantastic experience: Always have a blast training here. It is an amazing facility, with all the equipment you could ever ask for when it comes to training, regardless of discipline. Alastair and Erica are great people, super humble and down to Earth, and always supportive and encouraging whenever I go to train. I have trained here multiple times, and also attended their CPL sanctioned powerlifting meet, that was an amazing experience. I always have a great time, and will continue to come and train here many more times in the future. Definitely check out this awesome facility if you are in the Orangeville area, and want to get a solid training session in!

Fantastic experience: You will find an amazing community of lifters here. High energy, intense, fun and supportive. Scorrybreac is a great place to lift.

Fantastic experience: Having been here a few times already I can say that this gym is my go to anytime I'm in the area. More than enough weight and high quality equipment always makes lifting here enjoyable. In addition both Al & Erica bring years of experience with them and help me with any programming/technique/movement concerns I have.

Fantastic experience: Scorrybreac barbell is one of the best gyms ive ever had the pleasure of going to. They hosted the first ontario powerlifting meet with professionalism and great class.

Overall 10/10 facility, would only recommend going if you love a good time and a good workout

The facility, in a beautiful county setting, is top notch and truly has a special energy that really allows lifters to do their best (and have a blast doing it)!
