Exploring an Abandoned Church And Old School Abandoned Gym
This feature abandoned location is an old abandoned church in a small town in Northern Ontario.
Â
At some point the church was bought by a mining company and used as office space. All through the sanctuary there were desks, filing cabinets, pay stubs and all kinds of topographic maps from the area.
Â
My favourite part was the basement where there was a very old school gym set up with weights, machines, cardio equipment and more.
Â
I spent more time goofing off in the gym (which you can see in the video below) and I just shot the photos handheld. It was a quick stop and I didn’t care to take my time with pictures here.

Â
This old school gym in the basement of an old abandoned church got me super excited!
Â
I’ve been going to gyms my whole life, starting way back when I was a young little dude at the local Niagara Falls YMCA.
Â
In the late 1990’s/early 2000’s I got into competitive bodybuilding and then in 2005 I started my dream job working for a major bodybuilding supplement company.
Â
My job there was Manager of Talent Relations and my job was to sign professional athletes (mainly pro bodybuilders) to endorsement contracts, then I would manage the relationships. In that time I met, worked with, trained with and became friends with some of the top names in the world of professional bodybuilding.
Â
And THAT is why I get so excited about finding abandoned gyms and gym equipment in abandoned places!
Â
This gym was so old school, with rusty old weights, unsafe and unstable equipment, it was the kind of gym that I love training in.
Â
So I did and I made part 2 of my silly instructional workout video series.
