Our Story
A Lifelong Dedication to Training
From a young age, the pursuit of physical excellence has been a cornerstone of Zion Butler’s life. Starting at just three years old, his journey into training began as a friendly competition with an older brother. This early immersion solidified training as a fundamental value, serving as a steadfast pillar that provides focus and enables the profound freedom to explore the world without physical limitations.
Introducing Invictus: A Sanctuary for Growth
This deeply held belief in the power of training culminated in the creation of Invictus, an initiative co-founded by Zion Butler and Eric Strandberg. In an era marked by unprecedented distractions and easily accessible temptations, human willpower is being rigorously tested. A collective inclination towards immediate gratification has, in many ways, diminished resilience, contributing to a broader societal weakening.
Invictus offers a vital sanctuary from these modern challenges. Within its community, individuals discover profound meaning in the discomfort inherent in physical training, understanding that such efforts yield significant long-term rewards. The Invictus community fosters an environment of growth, driven by love and mutual encouragement, supporting all members whether their ambition is to lose a few pounds or achieve a substantial personal best in strength training.
Spreading the Message of Invincibility
Driven by a profound determination, Zion Butler is committed to disseminating this powerful message as widely as possible, continuously expanding the Invictus community and honoring the legacy of Eric Strandberg. Together, through shared dedication and support, they embody invincibility.


Honoring Eric Strandberg: A Visionary Co-Founder of Invictus
INVICTUS Training Center stands as a testament to the shared vision of its co-founders, Zion Butler and Eric Strandberg. Eric’s profound belief in the power of this space is beautifully captured in his own words: “INVICTUS Training Center is more than just a place to work out; it’s a place where individuals can transform their lives, build lasting relationships, and become the best version of themselves.” This sentiment lies at the very heart of Invictus, embodying the spirit and dedication Eric brought to its inception.
Established in 2023, Invictus was born from a collective passion for fitness and a desire to uplift the well-being of the Oroville community and its surrounding areas, including British Columbia and Okanogan County. The idea for a different kind of gym emerged from a late-night conversation between Eric and Zion. After years immersed in their personal fitness journeys, they recognized a clear need for a fitness center that genuinely served the local community. They were determined to overcome the frustrations of limited hours and impersonal fitness environments. Together, they embarked on a mission to create a gym that would be accessible 24/7, offer top-tier equipment, and, crucially, cultivate a supportive and motivating atmosphere where everyone felt welcome.
Eric Strandberg’s unwavering dedication to fostering transformation, building relationships, and empowering individuals to reach their highest potential remains an indelible part of the Invictus legacy. His contributions continue to inspire the vibrant community that thrives within these walls.
