The Team

The History of Real Deal Gym

Junior and Tom’s journey together began in 2009. With the Canadian Light Heavuyweight title on the line Junior brought Tom into his training camp as his Strength & Conditioning coach. The rest, as they say, is history.

Junior won and retained the title up to his retirement and their friendship and dynamic as passionate coaches still continues and grows to this day.

They are both excited to share their ring tested formula with future champions with those wanting to be the best version of themselves ; in and out of the ring.

They take great pride in having RDBC be a warm and welcoming space where they can share their passion and commitment to that champion spirit. Any and all are welcome that are willing to check their egos at the door and work together to build a strong community that is committed to bringing the very best out in one another .
