Dynamo Barbell Club

General information

Our History

To shape our future, we always pay tribute to our past. Dynamo Academy started as a small venture between two world-class powerlifters acquiring CrossFit Ottawa (now CrossFit O-Town) in 2013 and opening a powelifting gym concurrently, named Dynamo Barbell. The history of these two entities has produced world-champion powerlifters as well as both team and individual CrossFit Regional competitors.
​
The incorporation of Dynamo Academy in November 2016 has further synergized our services and will allow us to optimize various fitness programs and opportunities for our clients. We welcome all of you to join us on our journey of self-improvement. Regardless of where you are in life or fitness, remember the 3D aspect of existence:

Discipline: Stay focused and self-disciplined about your sleep, your nutrition and your fitness.

Devotion: Instill a sense of purpose in achieving your goals in life.

Dichotomy: Fitness, like life, relies on strict management of opposing forces. Strive to maintain balance.

Never Stop Striving,

CrossFit O-Town

CrossFit is the principal strength and conditioning program for many police academies and tactical operations teams, military special operations units, champion martial artists, and hundreds of other elite and professional athletes worldwide.

Our program delivers a fitness that is, by design, broad, general, and inclusive. Our specialty is not specializing. Combat, survival, many sports, and life reward this kind of fitness and, on average, punish the specialist.

The CrossFit program is designed for universal scalability making it the perfect application for any committed individual regardless of experience. We’ve used our same routines for elderly individuals with heart disease and cage fighters one month out from televised bouts. We scale load and intensity; we don’t change programs.

The needs of Olympic athletes and our grandparents differ by degree not kind. Our terrorist hunters, skiers, mountain bike riders and housewives have found their best fitness from the same regimen.
