about Industrial athletics
At Industrial Athletics, we’re more than just a gym in Thunder Bay; we’re a community united by the shared passion of pursuing health and strength. Our approachable environment allows each member to feel comfortable as they journey towards their fitness aspirations. Whatever your style or level of weight training, our gym will support you every step of the way.
Since opening in 2017, one of our highest values has been to create a community where anyone at any level of fitness can feel welcome and at home. We have members focusing on a variety of training – strength & conditioning, functional body building, crossfit style workouts, powerlifting, or olympic lifting.
Our team offers personal training for anyone wanting to work one on one with a trainer and really push themselves towards their goals. Additionally, our team offers small group training if you have a group of 3-4 friends who want to workout together.
Our story
In 2017 we opened a glorified garage gym in the south end of Thunder Bay, tucked away in the far corner of Westfort. The original idea was simple; we wanted to create a training space where we could workout, come and go anytime we wanted, and if we could get a few members to join that would be a bonus. After our first month we had 30+ members and realized that we weren’t going to stay a garage gym for very long. 4 months after opening we knocked down the walls and expanded from 750ft² of gym space to 4000ft² and Industrial Athletics hasn’t stopped evolving since.
In September 2019 we purchased a building on Frederica St. and moved the gym into its permanent home.
