Nathan Siemens - Powerlifting Record Holder

Big shout out to Nathan Siemens for his performance at the Big Sky Winter Classic Powerlifting meet.  He set 3 Canadian records for his age and weight category for squat (485 lbs), bench (274 lbs) and deadlift (485 lbs). He got some much deserved recognition and has his eyes set on moving up to the world stage next year!!!  Absolutely amazing!!!  

The best part is, Nathan is one of the most kind, humble and helpful lifters I have had the pleasure to coach.  His name will go down in LCI Fitness history for more than his lifting ability but also for the character he represents himself with.  Way to go Nathan!

New Merch Store Up and Running

Hello Everyone,

Exciting news!!!!!  As we head into the Family Week break, I wanted to send a quick update about something that has been happening behind the scenes.  I have been working with a local company (318 Branding) to set up an online swag shop specific to the LCI Fitness Program.  As of today, we have completed the store and have it up and running.  The store provides both high quality brand based clothing (Under Armour) and cost affordable gear that I have personally trialed for durability and quality.  We have everything from hoodies and crews, to shorts/pants, and backpacks.  The logos will be Direct to Garment printed which allows for us to not have stiff vinyl logos that end up pealing, cracking and breaking down.  The logos will be part of the shirt material for durability, breathability,  movement while keeping everything looking sharp!

If you choose to make an order, it will be delivered directly to the school and we will call students who order down to pick up their merch.  There are no deadlines for merch orders as the store will be open year round. 

The merch site can be accessed through the LCI Fitness Website sidebar where their is a graphic link to follow or you can also access it directly through the link by CLICKING HERE.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out and I will do my best to answer in a timely manner.

Looking forward to seeing our space full of cool swag.

Have a great family week break

Semester 2 Gym Access

 Hey LCI Fitness,

Everything is falling into place nicely.  All equipment has been inspected and undergone maintenance.  There are still a few items in the space that require attention but overall we will be ready for second half of the year!  

Semester 2 access will resume on February 2, 2026.  Gym hours can be accessed under the "about us" drop menu. The facility will be closed Thursday at lunch due to my obligations for large gym lunch supervision in semester 2.

We would like to welcome the grade 9 program back on the schedule for quarter 3 and quarter 4.

If you are thinking about getting started, stop by and say hi.  You can pick up a waiver form and start up as soon as it is complete.  You may also print a waiver from the link on the side of the page, complete and bring in a physical copy.

Viking Strong & Arctic Strength

 We had the good fortune to take in a powerlifting intro and bench press seminar at local powerlifting establishment Arctic Strength.  Viking Strong, Justin Sturm, helped walk our athletes through the intricacies and individuality of bench press techniques that work for you.  It was fun, informative and  everyone left with a better understanding of leg drive, bar path and rack heights.  It was a pleasure to share the space with Justin and have him work with the crew.  Thanks so much to Justin and Arctic for hosting us.

National Adaptive Rowing Athlete and LCI Fitness Alumni

Today was a day that I will remember forever.  LCI Fitness Alumni and National Adaptive Rowing Team Athlete Jay Berner came to share expertise in the space.  During his time at LCI, Jay spent countless hours in the training room building his body and his mind.  Post- graduation, Jay never let anything stop him.  He has faced any and all adversity with his chin held high.  To have him come back into the space and give back to the program speaks volumes about the person he is. Thank you so much for coming in to help our athletes learn rowing technique and how to become their best selves.

Here's a little peak at Jay getting the crew in sync with the same stroke rate and working as a team while being on individual ERG's
