Growing up in Ottawa, the capital of Canada we found ourselves united by a shared passion for the sport. Bonding over countless hours in the gym, we recognized a common challenge faced by gym goers worldwide – the benches tend to be too slippery to allow a stable bench press.

Yannick was the visionary behind the idea. Fueled by his desire to contribute to the powerlifting community, he envisioned a bench mat that not only provided stability and support but also catered to the specific needs of powerlifters. Yannick's vision was to create a product that would revolutionize the way athletes approached their bench training, ultimately helping them reach new heights in their performance.

We are committed to more than just developing a superior bench mat; we want to build a brand that embodies our shared love for powerlifting and commit to giving back to the community that has shaped our lives. 

As Odyssey continues to grow, Yannick & Jason remain true their initial vision – not just selling a product, but contributing to the sport they love.
