Canada Powerlifting (CANPL) Identified Powerlifting Centres (IPCs):

 

Canada Powerlifting provides a list of specific independent training facilities nationwide as possessing competition-standard equipment needed for training in the sport of powerlifting.  These independent facilities are not considered members of, or affiliated to, or licensed by CANPL or any of its member (Provincial) organizations. They provide a physical location for our athletes to engage in self-directed training.  These gyms are not employed or contracted by CANPL and are not monitored or supervised by CANPL. They are listed as a convenience to athletes who wish to know what facilities in an area provide equipment suitable for competition training. 

 

Gyms that wish to be listed as Identified Powerlifting Centres on the CANPL site must meet the following requirements:

 

• Company is responsible for a $200 one time payment to CANPL to complete process.

• The company must display the banner in clear view inside.

• Company must have at least one competition spec lever-adjustable squat/bench press rack or equivalent as featured in CANPL/IPF competition (Combo Rack, Eleiko, ER, Bull, ect.).

• Variety of equipment that a CPU Powerlifting lifter would need to adequately train for a competition including but not limited to: 20kg barbell (Eleiko, Ivanko, Leoko, Rogue, Titex), kilo-calibrated discs (Eleiko, Ivanko, Leoko, Titex), power rack, and lifting platform.

• Company will be listed on the CANPL website under "Identified Powerlifting Centres”

 

The facility will meet all the requirements listed above. The facility will become an Identified Powerlifting Centre by paying a one-time fee of $200 to CANPL, provide proof of equipment, and return the signed agreement. The gym will be listed on the CANPL main website and be promoted on social media when announced.

 

All participating organizations receive an official letter and one CANPL Powerlifting banner for display. Additional advantages of becoming an affiliated gym are increased visibility for the training facilities, CANPL, coaches, and lifters.
