STRONGER TOGETHER.
At Oceanside Strength Academy (OSA), fitness is more than just a workout -- it's about strength, community and connection. We built OSA right here in Parksville to be more than a gym: it's a supportive space where people of all fitness levels can move, grow, and feel at home.
Our mission is simple: to help every person in Parksville build strength for life. Strength doesn't just mean lifting weights--it's about confidence, resilience and living a healthier, happier life. At OSA we believe that when you train in a supportive community you don't just get stronger--you thrive.
The OSA difference
We're not your typical gym. Here's what makes OSA unique:
Small Group Training: Classes are capped at 12 people so you get personal group coaching and attention every time.
Variety of Classes: From cardio-based strength circuits to recovery focused sessions, our line up supports fat loss, mobility, and overall fitness.
Community-First Culture: Our Members call OSA their fitness family-- we celebrate wins, support each other, and have fun while working hard.
Expert Coaching: Our trainers guide you through every workout, making sure movements are safe, effective, and tailored to your level.
