What we stand for

At Montreal Powerhouse, we believe in achieving excellence. We are committed to help you build a lifestyle and mentality that will get the best out of you, in and out of the gym. Too many people live their life without questioning their actions and decisions. We believe that you should never settle for less than your full potential and we are 100% dedicated in helping you through this process. The concept of “living life” takes all its sense when you start challenging yourself and at Montreal Powerhouse, we WILL challenge you.

We believe that strength training has a lot more to offer than health benefits: it improves mental strength and self-confidence to push through life’s difficulties. The discipline and dedication you will acquire through your training will carry over to all aspects of your life.

It’s important for us that you truly understand what you are doing and why you are doing it. We will teach you the principles necessary for you to be able to make rational decisions based on sound evidence rather than fitness magazines and internet fads.

Montreal Powerhouse brings an alternative approach to fitness and performance, one that is based on both evidence and experience.

For all those that wish to perform or come back from a big injury, the follow-ups by the coaches are quick and with a lot of good feedback.”

He always takes time to listen, on good AND bad days. Even if we do online coaching, I feel like I am his priority and his only athlete. Since I started to work with him, my competition streak has been almost perfect and I couldn’t be happier! ”

    — Rebecca Garand

  • “Louis-Alexis has been my coach for 2 years. He listens to my objectives and he knows what I need to do to perform. My programs are tailored to my strengths and weaknesses and my results have been excellent. With a now 628lbs deadlift, I can confidently say that I’m rapidly approaching my goals. If you want to push your limits and perform at your best, I strongly recommend working with the Montreal Powerhouse team.”

    — Vincent Héroux

    — Mickael Cloutier

  • “Being followed by coach Mathieu finally gave me hope that my injury would heal. He is always available for me and that is priceless, especially during relapses. It would be easy to give up but Mathieu is constantly pushing me to fix my weaknesses instead of ignoring them!”

    — Gabriel Gauthier

    — Felix-Antoine Gosselin

  • “Referred by a friend who was impressed by the skills and professionalism of coach Quentin, I decided to start a nutrition plan with him.

    — Marie-Eve Garceau

  • “7 years ago, I had chronic back pain and couldn’t lift anything heavy off the floor without fear of injury. From the start, Louis-Alexis tailored my training so that I could one day do something that I had completely given up on: a deadlift. It took me two years to be able to deadlift without pain, and since then I have been deadlifting every week for almost 4 years, pain free. MTL PH has my full confidence.”
