Meet our personal trainers

Physical exercise is an important factor that should be a part of everyone's life but also made to fit your goals and lifestyle. Hard work invested into developing your body and mind is the greatest thing one could do for themselves. Training is more than just looking better but feeling good on the inside and out.​

My goal as a trainer is to help you achieve your goals based on your desires and current level of fitness. I emphasize proper form and technique for injury prevention and progression that will help lead to the results you are happy with. I will help plan out your training specific to your needs and keep you motivated. I look forward to helping you succeed in your fitness endeavors while having fun.​

I truly believe that fitness is so much more than just weights and treadmills. It is a journey that encompasses your entire being—mind, body, and spirit. It taps into your full potential, creates positive changes in your life, and establishes healthy habits that will last for the long haul. ​

​As your personal trainer, my goal is to help make working out a habit and a hobby that brings your health and happiness. I will design a personalized workout plan, make sure that your exercise forms are right to prevent injuries, and guide you towards reaching your goals. It would be my pleasure to support you throughout your workout journey.

I believe it is essential to treat each client as a unique individual. I take this approach because the key to success lies in understanding each client’s goals and expectations, present and past physical conditioning, and current motivations.  Considering these factors, I aim to help clients succeed by applying the most recent research findings in the field of exercise science to their program design.

My interest in training began at a young age when I first discovered the body's ability to adapt to stress. Having had severe asthma as a child, it took hard work to improve my cardiovascular capacity enough to be permitted to participate in physical activities such as hockey and martial arts. Extensive training then allowed me to excel. After winning several worldwide competitions in North America and Asia, I was privileged to train with the monks at the Shaolin Temple in China.​

The drive to improve my performance in martial arts and hockey grew into a general passion for training, I have since researched and experimented with a variety of techniques to learn which training methods most effectively improve performance. I have come to believe that it is necessary to improve all aspects of fitness while following the progressive overload principle. To me, everything should follow a logical progression, and when working with clients, my aim is always to choose the most practical exercises possible to improve functional strength and mobility.

The commitment to weight training is the single best investment you can make for your health, confidence and lifestyle. You will be amazed once you see and feel the physical progress you are capable of with the assistance of a professional trainer. The progress you will make with the weights will translate into your everyday life.​

Improvements such as increased energy, motivation and confidence are all positive side effects of a well-balanced fitness regimen.​

I will adopt a personal interest in helping you achieve your goals, whether that is to drop a few pounds off the scale, to increase your lean muscle mass, for physical and mental well-being, or to improve strength and power for sports.​

Through my journey,  I have gained eighty pounds of lean muscle and even coached myself to compete in a Toronto men’s physique competition in 2023. ​

Let's work together to achieve your goals.​
