Bear Strength & Conditioning

A Personal Invitation from Bear Strength

Hi there!
I'm thrilled to welcome you to Bear Strength. My journey into unconventional strength training began when a severe injury forced me to explore new ways to stay strong and fit. The normal workouts just weren't cutting it for me and created more injuries or delayed my progress significantly. I wanted something more dynamic, more engaging, and frankly, more fun. After meeting a friend with a passion for strongman and stone lifting, I started experimenting with different exercises and equipment. As a result, I unintentionally began to rehab my injury. As my passion grew and the results showed, I was graciously asked to teach what I had learned. This grew into regular classes and eventually developing other coaches too.

The idea for Bear Strength came when a friend and my wife saw me doing some sprint training and said, “You look like a bear charging through the woods!". And so Bear Strength was born.
Every workout at Bear Strength is an adventure. Whether we're carrying bags, playing with ropes, teaching the classic lifts, or finding creative ways to use everyday objects, we're constantly exploring the boundaries of what's possible. So, if you're ready to break free from the ordinary and embrace a new way of building strength, come join us. Let's get stronger, together.

Warm regards,

Jamie McNeil
