PERFORMANCE DRIVEN
Every session is built with purpose, using proven training methods to improve speed, agility, power, and overall athletic performance both on and off the ice.
INJURY PREVENTION
Build a stronger, more durable body through proper movement mechanics, mobility, and strength training designed to reduce injury risk and keep athletes performing at their best.

wHAT IS STRENGTH LAB?
The Strength Lab is the off-ice performance division of Pottie Method Training, built to help athletes become stronger, faster, more explosive, and more durable. This is not generic fitness or random workouts. Every program is designed around athletic performance, movement quality, injury prevention, and the physical demands of hockey.
The Strength Lab is led by Shane Pottie, a former Head Coach with Team Nova Scotia’s Olympic Weightlifting program and a personal trainer with more than 14 years of experience working with athletes at every level. His background in strength development, Olympic lifting, movement mechanics, and high-performance training allows athletes to be coached with purpose and progressed safely over time.
We offer small-group strength and conditioning, individual training, hockey-specific performance development, speed and power training, mobility work, injury-prevention programming, and athlete-specific plans built around each player’s needs. Every session is coached, every movement is corrected, and every athlete is expected to train with intent.
The goal is simple: build stronger, more confident athletes whose training carries directly onto the ice.
