Bradley Follows
OWNER & PERSONAL TRAINER
With a background in the trades and certifications as both a Life Coach and Personal Trainer, I knew Kingston was the perfect place to bring my vision to life. Long before Follows Strength & Fitness opened its doors in 2024, I was building equipment from scrap wood—over 60 hand-crafted machines that laid the foundation for something bigger than a gym.
As a Canadian National Record Holder in Powerlifting, I’ve learned firsthand that strength training isn’t just about physical transformation—it’s a powerful tool for emotional healing. Movement becomes medicine; effort builds resilience. For many of us, fitness is a way to process pain, restore confidence, and reconnect with ourselves after trauma.
And through it all, my loyal companion Sadie has been by my side from day one—a living reminder of unconditional love and the steady presence that fuels this journey. Whether you’re just starting out or a seasoned athlete—whether you’re 18 or 70—you’ll find your place in this space. At Follows Strength & Fitness, we’re not just building muscle. We’re rebuilding lives.

Julien Turcotte
STRENGTH & CONDITIONING COACH
Before I ever picked up a barbell, I was charging down the football field—learning grit, discipline, and the raw intensity of competition. That foundation lit the fuse for a lifelong pursuit of strength.
I’ve competed—and continue to compete—in both Strongman and Powerlifting, pushing boundaries and setting personal records in arenas where power meets precision. I’ve also stepped into the world of competitive arm wrestling, testing my strength in a sport that demands explosive force and tactical finesse.
From the field to the platform, from grip battles to ground-shaking lifts, my journey has been fueled by passion, perseverance, and the relentless pursuit of becoming stronger every day. -
Olivia Lafontaine
PERSONAL TRAINER
Born and raised in Kingston, I’ve faced my share of struggles. For a long time, I felt lost – until I found lifting. What started as a workout became therapy. I shed the weight, built strength, and began shaping the body I’d always envisioned. More importantly, I built resilience and purpose. Now, my mission is to guide others who don’t know where to begin. If you’re feeling stuck, I’ve been there and I’m here to help you find your way forward.
