Starke Strength & Conditioning

Expérience fantastique: The 6 am training group is amazing. There are dedicated athletes constantly advancing my fitness journey whether they know it or not. They are beasts at every scale and level. The programming is spot on: varied, challenging and always room for an active recovery day.

Expérience fantastique: Awesome Gym. Love going here and great community.

Expérience fantastique: I was hesitant about group classes. I had never done them before and was super anxious. Paul and his crew made it so easy to get into workouts. I can't wait to see where I end up!!

Expérience fantastique: Great personal training experience, also a great place for birthday parties!

Expérience fantastique: One of the best CrossFit gym. All the coaches and owner Paul is just great.

Expérience fantastique: I have had a great experience at Starke Strength so far. It was my first time trying CrossFit and participating in group classes, which was outside my comfort zone, but Paul, the owner, made me feel welcome and motivated me to push myself. I also received personal training from Adam, who is exceptional at his job and adapts his teaching style to suit my abilities.

Expérience fantastique: I’ve been apart of starke for a couple months now and I can confidently say that I am a proud member of the starke community. Paul is an amazing coach with great programming designed by none other than himself, with a selection of amazing staff to execute classes and guide athletes in a professional and safe manner. The workouts are difficult but but worthwhile as results follow shortly. Great value, come prepared to sweat and prepare to leave #betterthanyesterday

Expérience fantastique: Great and friendly staff who take the time to make sure that you are getting the best workout possible. They will accommodate any fitness level and take the time to modify any movement that you may not be able to do. Great Gym and a very supportive environment that makes you feel welcome and wanting to come back for more.

Expérience fantastique: Phenomenal gym. Highly recommend! The classes, instructors, and facility are all too notch.

Expérience fantastique: Best I've felt in a long time. All of the coaches want safety and hard work put into workouts and that's the best thing you can ask for at a gym.

Expérience fantastique: Excellent atmosphere and amazing coaches, along with all its members. Generally I need to take baby steps when it comes to being uncomfortable, especially with how intimidated I was with the overall idea of CrossFit. Yet I knew I had to try it, after hearing about it from a friend who goes here. (Thanks Nat!) Immediately I was welcomed and not judged, which made me ignore all my anxiety of the way I looked trying new movements, or feeling silly if I couldn’t do it right away. Paul was very thorough and considerate with each new movement when he taught it through base camp. With only being here for a month and a half, I see results physically and mentally. I’ve been shown I do have what it takes to push myself and achieve goals I never thought were meant for me. For someone starting out new like me, know that the soreness DOES go down I keep finding myself excited for my next session. All the coaches take time to answer any of my questions, and even after when the session is done. Props to all of you and your hard work! Time to get these gains!

Expérience fantastique: I didn't fit in. Everyone was just too nice and relaxed... )) But seriously, great place where instructors emphasize long term progress over just going hard & fast and then not being able to move the next couple days. Edit: Thanks Paul! I think I just wasn't ready to look too uncomfortable in front of other people. And I didn't see it as an option to take it easy(er)

Expérience fantastique: I was looking for a new gym as the gym I went to for 8+ years decided to no longer offer fitness classes. I decided to give Starke a try after hearing a few recommendations from two friends. I met Paul, owner and coach, and I instantly had a good feeling about this gym. I went through base camp to learn some basic and more complex moves with the barbell. I've been going regularly to class the last two weeks (started my third week) today and I am loving it. The community is great too. People are welcoming. Many members have come up to me to introduce themselves. I feel motivated to go and am being challenged in every class. I like the breakdown of the class as well. Typically two parts to the session, one part strength and the other conditioning. Overall, I would recommend Starke to anyone looking to get a kick start on their fitness and others looking for a new challenge or switch up their routines.

Expérience fantastique: For years I did not attend a gym because it was intimidating. All that equipment, weights, and people who all seemed to know what they were doing. Enter Paul Dyck and a group of top quality coaches. Intimidation factor melts away and we focus on good tecqnique, body awareness and movement. The weight and reps follow. The cross fit workout has been eyeopening for me and i thoroughly enjoy it. My morning workout is a highlight of my day, and i would never have expected to say that. I would HIGHLY recommend you giving Starke a try.

Expérience fantastique: My son and I joined Starke in December 2019 and we have benefited from the great coaching we have received during our training sessions. Thank you Starke coaches.

Expérience fantastique: Absolutely love my new experience with CrossFit and I love the staff/members at Starke even more! It’s a great atmosphere that is family friendly and close knit. Great team of coaches there - they push you to be your best. The owner Paul is very welcoming and extremely knowledgeable - my friend and I were lucky to have him for base camp. I have learned SO much already and I look forward to continuing as a member at Starke. Here’s to becoming stronger than yesterday! :)

Expérience fantastique: It's alot of fun

Expérience fantastique: Great facility and even better people! The coaches are very knowledgeable and great at what they do! A great place to get your sweat on, thanks again Paul!

Expérience fantastique: Warm & welcoming environment for people of all levels. The facility is extremely clean and the coaches are all great at motivating me and working with people of all strength, mobility and fitness levels. 10/10 would recommend to anyone!

Expérience fantastique: Great people great work outs!

Expérience fantastique: Coaches are knowledgeable and there to help, I felt welcome and really enjoyed my first few classes at Starke. The workouts were challenging and accessible to people of any level of fitness. Would definitely recommend!

Expérience fantastique: Fantastic gym! Great environment, very helpful coaches, and a diverse group of members who all have the same end goal.

Expérience fantastique: Had a great experience. Coaches were great and really enjoyed the classes.

Expérience fantastique: I spent a week training at Starke. The Starke team is amazing! Great people and even better work outs! I had a lot of fun. Had the chance to visit different classes and to use a variety of equipment. Will be back!

Expérience fantastique: Friendly community of people and caring coaches. I joined the fitness class for health and wellness goals however the classes became the favorite part of my day. Before I joined my back would be sore from just daily activity like driving or being in my office chair. I would get a sore back from bending over and picking up our young children in the middle of the night. After only a month of classes I would no longer get a sore back from daily activities and have learned the proper way to pick up stuff up such as kids or heavy objects. It has been over a year now and I feel healthy and strong.

Expérience fantastique: Starke is an amazing environment to transform yourself, your relationships also; my 13 year old son and I have been training for 2 months. We are stronger physically as well as having fun together 3 times a week has brought us closer. The staff are knowledgeable, kind and welcoming. Looking forward to the months and years ahead where Starke is where we go to become athletes for life, we get stronger everyday and have fun doing it. I encourage anyone to try it out- you'll be surprised at your success no matter where you start. JUST STARKE!!! Pam

Expérience fantastique: At first I wasn't sure I could handle Cross Fit type of training. After a month with the help of well trained and knowledgeable staff I realized everything can be adjusted to suit your abilities. I have realized fast gains in my strength and abilities. Not to mention visible change to my body. The atmosphere is very addicting and very welcoming! Love it!

Expérience fantastique: Fantastic gym!!! Excellent equipment for the roaming Olympic Weightlifter, very clean, and super friendly coaches and staff - my mom and I only dropped in for a day, but wished we could have had time to come back!

Expérience fantastique: Fell in love with the place first time I came. The coaches are incredibly smart, willing to take time to help you out. I love that they have open gym so you can improve on your own time. There's a community built around this gym and I enjoy being a part of it.

Expérience fantastique: Best CrossFit gym in the city, a bit of a drive but definitely worth it!

Expérience fantastique: I can’t say enough about how amazing Starke is! They supported our Healthy Role Models #mbcrew fundraiser in support of CancerCare MB and K.I.D.S Int. with 2 amazing coaches (Laurie & Caitlin) and a challenging workout! There were 30 of us and we all had a blast! We laughed and tried new things! It was an amazing first experience of CrossFit for me! The place is modern and clean and has a little of something for everyone! It truly is all encompassing! Paul opened his gym to us and made us all feel welcomed! I know I’ll be back! Cheers!

Expérience fantastique: What a great place to work out! The people are encouraging, the coaches take the time to make sure you're lifting properly, Paul (owner) is always available to answer any of your questions. Now they direct bill for massage awesome!

Expérience fantastique: Starke Strength sponsored a Fundraiser event for our group - Healthy Role Models - last Friday. It was challenging and fun at the same time. The two coaches did an awesome job of engaging everyone and demonstrating modifications where needed. The facility is clean, bright, and very well equipped. We raised money for K.I.D.S. Int'l and CancerCare. And I would like to thank the owner and staff for their time and help.

Expérience fantastique: Starke sponsored an event for our Healthy Role Models (“HRM”) group last Friday. It was so much fun! I’ve never done anything like it and the two coaches did an amazing job of engaging me and telling me the modifications I could use! We raised money for K.I.D.S. International and CancerCare. Thank you to the owner and staff for their time and help and I can’t wait to come back!

Expérience fantastique: I left another crossfit gym as starke was offering a great promotional offer regarding training and nutrition. I was nervous starting at a new gym. But the best thing about starke is they usually start out the training session with some sort of fun activity, forcing you to interact and get to know the other members, aka making friends. Starke is the best crossfit gym in Winnipeg because: 1. Paul the owner is friendly, knowledgeable, approachable and present. 2. The programming is great. 3. The coaches are awesome 4. The other members are awesome and inspiring 5. The facility is huge, clean and plenty of equipment.

Expérience fantastique: I was visiting from Toronto and came to do my first Crossfit open workout. I was so impressed with the facility and with the owner Paul. He took so much time helping me get more efficient with rowing and to help plan a strategy for the workout. I will definitely be back !

Expérience fantastique: I've known Paul the owner of Starke for years. What sets him apart as a trainer and owner is that not only does he care that people having fun and workout hard but he also cares about technique and making people work smart, and safe.

Expérience fantastique: Great Box Community - Thank you Starke for the warm welcome for a couple of days while I was visiting. The coaches were great, personable and knowledgeable. The members were fun to workout with. It was like I never left my box. Thanks everyone. Will visit again.

Expérience fantastique: I have been going to Starke since January 2017, it is now end of May 2017 and I am moving to a level of strength mobility and overall sexiness that I have never thought possible. I was always a big guy, never really good at working out and was incredibly intimidated going to something as intense as crossfit and with all these incredible athletes. Not.at.Starke. everyone and I mean EVERYONE is incredibly nice, informative and supportive. There are various ages and body types all working together as a team. The owner focuses heavily on technique long before the talk of lifting and throwing weights come through. You get great cardio, mobility, stamina and solid core strength which allows you to meet the crossfit movements with a thoughtful approach and consistency so you don't hear the dreaded "NO REP!" Highly recommend! As they say at Starke..."Nothing Changes if Nothing Changes!"
