613Lift Ltd. is an incredibly well-equipped gym for athletes, powerlifters, bodybuilders, and creators, and in my opinion, it’s one of the few in Ottawa that understand the modern fitness industry. A supportive environment, coupled with state-of-the-art equipment, plentiful squat cages, unmatched lighting, a stunning environment, open-media policy and badass music. From a photographer’s point of view, this place is a dream. As an athlete, I don’t think I could ever ask for more. A badass gym, with some badass lighting.

“A judgement free zone. – Seriously, you can yell, take your shirt off, flex, nobody cares. Everyone is focused on their own goals.”
This gym is perfect for the Modern Day Athlete and Fitness Creator.

Inclusivity Beyond the Frame: Definitely not your average gym. For any athletes looking to create Youtube, TikTok, or Instagram content, 613Lift is the place to be. The owner, Nicholas DiNardo, allows and supports athletes, fitness influencers, and content creators to film, take photos, hit PRs, and slam some heavy a** weight. They describe it best themselves, “A CHALK FILLED, CAMERA PERMITTING, NOISE MAKING, MUSCLE SHIRT WEARING FACILITY.” Most commercial gyms don’t allow photos or filming, so it’s good to see a gym flip that philosophy on it’s head as we pivot towards the modern day.

Elevating Progress and Engagements through New Equipment: 613Lift offers unique and badass equipment, updated quite regularly. So while this is not only pretty dope for your training, from a photographer and content creators point of view, this unique training stimulus and environment leads to increased engagements as your audience can interact with potentially things they haven’t seen at most standard gyms.

The Perfect Capture: Gym Aesthetics, Mirrors and Lighting: Badass lighting, lots of dynamic equipment, a great colour scheme, mirrors everywhere, chalk in the air, and an open media policy. 613Lift has really done it right for your daily lifter (or even photographer like myself), looking to get some badass and unreal photos and videos that you simply can’t get anywhere else. A badass environment is a quick and easy way to elevate your content to the next level.

Building a Thriving Community, and Growing Creators Audiences: 613 amplifies the reach of athletes, creators, and photographers by showcasing their content across its social media platforms. This synergy builds bridges, boosts community engagement, and connects like-minded individuals and fostering an environment of mutual growth. This unique way of supporting their athletes and the continued growth of the community is definitely the cherry on top to make this place the #1 Gym in Ottawa for aspiring Fitness Creators.
