MUTEKI STRONG ACADEMY

Fantastic experience: This gym is an amazing place to train and connect with highly motivated, supportive individuals. After just one year of working with Rus, my powerlifting total surpassed 1,000 lbs, and I’ve made good progress in my MMA training. Russ genuinely cares about his students, pushing them to reach their full potential with constant motivation and expert guidance.

Fantastic experience: Russ is a great mentor and friend to have. I've known him for years and he's played a major part in my athletic and personal growth. The attitude in the gym is inspiring, Russ brings in a lot of high value individuals which creates a great environment for personal mentorship and networking. As an athlete, if you're looking to improve in anyway Russ will lead you in the right direction. He has elite levels of knowledge for weight loss, powerlifting, and MMA. Going to his gym and actively being involved in their community will be life-changing if you are ready and willing to put the effort in.

Fantastic experience: Best gym community I've ever been a part of. Not the cheapest option but cheaper than signing up separately for a traditional gym + a boxing/MMA gym and is your health really something you want to cheap out on anyway?

Fantastic experience: I’ve been attending this gym and training with Russell, and it has been a fantastic experience! I’ve noticed steady gains in strength and endurance since starting, and I feel more confident in my fitness journey. Russell is an excellent coach who really knows how to motivate and guide you toward your goals. I highly recommend both the gym and Russell for anyone looking to improve their fitness!

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Russ at Muteki Strong Academy for almost a year now, and I can't recommend him highly enough! His personalized training programs, and knowledge of both weightlifting and MMA have been instrumental in my progress. Whether you're looking to lose weight, build strength, or improve your fighting skills, Russell Peel is the best in Calgary. Thank you

Fantastic experience: When I first started, I literally crumpled when I tried to squat due to bad form and lack of strength. After training with Russ, I can squat with confidence, knowing I have the strength and guidance I need. I always look forward to training with Russ, and hangingout with the sweetest pup named Zeus.

Fantastic experience: Russell Peel with Muteki is an incredibly strong and unique individual with an unmatched passion for showing others the heights they are capable of reaching. With international acclaim and World class accomplishments to back it up, he is an incredible man and coach that honestly just needs to be experienced to understand.. He has helped guide me towards my Goals with a new aim and resilience I did not even imagine I was capable of. They say that a Professional can hit a target that others can’t hit, but a Genius can hit targets that others can’t even see.. And he is nothing short of the latter! Thank you Russel and the team at Muteki Strong Academy for helping me restructure my training and mindset to produce the best version of myself in becoming an absolute WEAPON in my arena! Great classes, Great equipment and an even Greater atmosphere! Much Love and Gratitude

Fantastic experience: Awesome coach and community at this gym. No place like it in the city.

Fantastic experience: Russ invited me to come in on a Saturday, a day I wouldn’t usually workout and I’m so glad I did. I was met with high-5’s and positivity for coming in on an off day. He provides a silly and serious atmosphere where everyone can feel welcomed. When it’s time to work, we work and when it’s time to laugh we roar! Russ genuinely cares about people, not just making a quick buck. I’ve been coming to this gym for almost 6 months and I’ve not only gained overwhelming strength, but friends and a community. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Russ took over coaching me for powerlifting from someone who is an excellent coach. Under Russ I have seen significant improvement in all 3 of the major lifts as well as positive movement on overall body composition. Russ brokers no excuses and not should he, all excuses are lies.... I will continue working with Russ on powerlifting/strength training for as long as I am able. Additionally there is Zues

Fantastic experience: Have been training with Russ for a decade and continue to get in whenever I can as I've yet to find someone that can get as much out of me while training. He's become a good friend and mentor and I would highly, highly recommend trying out one of his classes or programs. Thanks Russ!

Fantastic experience: Great place, great atmosphere, great individual. Wouldn’t expect anything less.

Fantastic experience: Best gym, great coaching and awesome training environment

Fantastic experience: This is a great gym to work out and connect with highly motivated and friendly individuals. As a student of Russell Peel (Russ) for about 4 years, I have grown from being a scrawny little kid to my dream body and fitness level. He really cares about his students and I would have given up on my fitness goals if it wasn't for his constant motivation and guidance. I highly recommend this gym for anyone trying to become a better version of themselves, connect with highly motivated and driven individuals and have fun in the process!

Fantastic experience: Russ is a great personal coach, professional and all round great fellow and his classes are challenging and spur athletic and personal development. P.S the MUTEKI fellowship he fosters is super cool. I 100% recommend.

Fantastic experience: Great community, people that you will call friends, and a teacher who will push you! Give it a chance you won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: Been going here for just over 2 years. Always pushed to your limits and challenged. 100% would recommend to anyone that wants to go beyond their limits. It’s the muteki way. People there are also all solid and friendly. No other gyms like it out there.

Fantastic experience: Great gym with great trainers. I’m feeling better and lifting more at 40 years old than I ever have in my life. After only 6 months of training with Russ I can honestly say I’ve had drastically better results than years of CrossFit and independent time in the gym. Russ creates a plan that works for you and helps you achieve your goals in a fun and friendly environment.

Fantastic experience: Muteki is our second home! Russ has done an incredible job creating a gym space that has all the necessities to have you coming out of there looking and feeling like a badass! Great gym, great people, great coach, and CUTE doggos!!

Training at Muteki has increased my skills, knowledge and overall attitude around exercise. The best part of Muteki is that it is a community built around the gym, the people make it the best gym in town.

Fantastic experience: Working out with Russ is one of the best decisions I have made for my health. He has given me a workout plan that is both challenging enough to give me the results I desire and easy to follow. Working out at the academy is fun and a completely different experience from regular gyms.

Fantastic experience: Having worked closely with owner Russ I can strongly say he’s the hardest working coach I’ve met! He pulls anyone’s truest potential out of them and allows you to commit to seeing your strengths, and bettering your weaknesses. Highly recommend working with him if you want to improve your skills, and life.

Fantastic experience: Working with Russ allowed me to see things about myself I didn’t realize were holding me back. He sees the best in me and accepts nothing less. That push is transformational.

Fantastic experience: Fun and positive experience

Fantastic experience: Best decision to join! I was needing to have some fun with my fitness while still having that push to do my best. And this Muteki Strong Academy has just that, it has a community of supportive people who want to see each other succeed and have a good time while doing it. There's so many options to choose from within the classes as well as one on one training. I found a new spark/joy for movement and working out again. Thanks Russell! I highly recommend coming and checking it out.

Fantastic experience: This gym has a great at home atmosphere. It’s very unique and there is nothing like it in Calgary. I’ve been taking the MMA and FightRDY classes with Russ for years and they are a fun way of learning technique and doing cardio.

Fantastic experience: Russell is a terrific powerlifting coach. I recently attended one of his group workout sessions and I can undoubtably say it was the best circuit I've taken part in. Since then, I have shifted over from weightlifting, and started powerlifting with Russell. During my very first session, I hit a new personal record for my deadlift. Russell is a super positive, encouraging, wholesome individual. I admire that Russell is emotionally supportive in addition to being motivating during sessions.

Fantastic experience: Russ is the epitome of a professional. He is reliable, knowledgeable and a world class athlete in his own rite. Best of all, he is fun to work with. Don't get that confused with easy going. He will push you to your limit and then push some more. I have trained with him for about a year. I started with mixed martial arts training. He runs well organized, high paced and highly technical classes. He is careful to match his students with similar caliber skill and keeps an eye on everyone to ensure that they are getting the best experience that they can during the classes. I have now been powerlifting with Russ as well. Starting powerlifting in your 40s is intimidating; but Russ has taken the time to first teach me the fundamentals, to now pushing me to get stronger and to lift heavier weights. The best part about working out with Russ, is that you can trust him. If he tells you that you can lift something, even though it seems impossible, you can. I highly recommend joining Muteki Strong Academy.

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Russ for 2 years and he's made me the strongest I've ever been. I can't wait for the next powerlifting competition.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Russ on and off for nearly 10 years now and love that he has his own place where he continues to offer great personal and group training. He has a welcoming space that encourages his clients to be their best!

Fantastic experience: Great local gym! The owner of this club is my powerlifting coach! He pushes you to be the best you can be! Would highly recommend this gym!

Fantastic experience: Have trained with Russ for a number of years. A remarkable coach with a track record of changing lives for the better. Coached me to a first place in Raw Worlds in 2019 and many personal bests. Would recommend him to anyone.

Fantastic experience: I had a few chronic injuries and was having a hard time getting motivated to continue training, then I met Russ. That was over 4 years ago. I’ve been a loyal client ever since. He’s professional , knowledgeable and makes all his sessions enjoyable . His new gym is very unique as it offers power lifting , bodybuilding, conditioning and MMA classes. He has one on one training, drop ins and group sessions. I would highly recommend Russ as a personal trainer to anyone
