We at LSS believe it takes an entire community to not only decide to, but especially stay committed to a healthy, fit lifestyle. We are a community of support to help not only lay the foundation for, but also continue to build toward your personal fitness goals. Whether you need a high-five, a warm hug or a kick in the you-know-what, our crew will not only help push you toward healthy choices, but in the end, celebrate those accomplishments with you.
We are the not-so-little-gym with the big heart. If you and your family want to make a choice towards health and fitness, come try us out and see why having an entire community in your corner will make that difference.
At LSS, we want active lifestyles to be a priority to our children. We have a variety of programs to keep your kids active, happy and strong including Jiu Jitsu, Capoeira and kids fitness classes. We continue to evolve our programs as our gym families needs change.
Lil Spartans for ages 5-8 is a 30 minute class that focuses on physical literacy, making connections, martial arts introduction and building respect/discipline…..but mostly FUN.
High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is our Sunday class that involves less weight focus and higher volume to increase cardiovascular capacity and conditioning.
METCON (metabolic conditioning) is the primary fitness class you will find at our facility that is a combination of weightlifting/strength building/accessories and a workout program that is ever changing to constantly give your body a challenge to build muscle, increase conditioning and get the healthy results that improve your lifestyle and quality of life.
Youth aged 8-14 can participate in our Youth No Gi Jiu Jitsu program. This program is coached by Leia Brown who has extensive training, competing and coaching background on the International Jiu Jitsu world.
Our Shaved Bears Professional MMA team not only trains out of the Little Sweatshop but they also coach all of our kickboxing, Jiu Jitsu, grappling and MMA classes. Named the top gym in Canada in the MMA world, you will not find better quality athletes, coaches or talent than the Shaved Bears MMA team, led by Jeff Montemurro.
Little Sweatshop is one of my absolute favourite places! A gym that very quickly felt like home and has enhanced my life in so many ways. So much more than just a gym!!
My 10 year old son is taking kids MMA here with Mike and Justin. He absolutely loves it! The guys are awesome with the kids and instill a love of fitness! I cant say enough positives about this place. Shelley was also amazing at getting us started.

Little Sweatshop: Opinions
Fantastic experience: I’ve trained at Little Sweatshop for over 10 years, and it’s truly one of my favourite places to be. The owner Shelley, is the kindest, most compassionate, and warm hearted being I have ever met. She treats all of her members like family. To top it off, she is an incredible athlete, and coach. She is so knowledgeable in the world of sports performance, and has helped so many of the MMA athletes in the gym deal with nagging pains and injuries. Outside of Shelley, the martial arts programs for the general public are outstanding and run by the best professional MMA team in the country, Shaved Bears MMA. The classes are structured for everyone from the casual enthusiast to the professionals. If you are in the Edmonton area this place is truly a gem. So much knowledge, good energy, and fun under one roof.
