Testimonial for Ivanna: I had a great experience working with Ivanna. She’s extremely patient and has many helpful tips to target your goals. The programs she created for me perfectly aligned with my fitness goals and she took the time to explain every aspect of it. I look forward to working on my goals now that Ivanna has set me up for success!

— Gillian P

Testimonial for Siobhan: “The personal training offered through the school is amazing. I’ve always felt intimidated by going the gym but having a trainer has made me feel more comfortable and confident with working out. Siobhan has listened to my goals and made a plan to help me reach them. She always encourages me and pushes me to go harder which is exactly what I need. I'd recommend the program to anyone who needs that extra push and motivation to work out"

— Olivia K

Testimonial for Nathan: I thought the training sessions were very helpful in starting to better physical health. Right from the beginning, the sessions were very personalized and specific to my needs. I appreciated that Nathan took the time to explain the reasoning behind each workout so that I was on the same page. Overall, I am glad I purchased the sessions and learned a lot from them. I have been regularly going to the gym since the last session and hope to maintain this new routine.

— Gaurav (UofG Student)

Testimonial for Siobhan: “  I had never used a personal trainer before, thinking it was for people who were training for big events or had a ’set goal’ in mind. After my first session with Siobhan I realised there was so much much more to it. After our first session my technique began to improve immediately and before the end of our first block I'd booked some more sessions. Not only has my ability and recovery increased, but my knowledge has also developed. Thanks to her help now I’m far more confident with what I’m doing, and at a level I never would have achieved on my own. ”

— Lewis K

Zach

Zach was invaluable to my journey into fitness, and I cannot thank him enough for his expertise. He was able to create programming that helped me set attainable goals, while also ensuring that I was comfortable while completing exercises. Not only was Zach accommodating and flexible when setting up sessions, but he was also available for questions at any time. Zach was continually optimistic and provided consistent support, even when I was unsure of my ability to perform certain exercises or movements. He has perfected the ability to form interpersonal connections with his clients, tailoring programming when necessary, and constantly having one’s goals in mind. Upon the completion of my personal training sessions, I felt confident in my ability to continue reaching my fitness goals. If you are looking for a personal trainer who goes above and beyond, look no further than Zach.

Jessica Pordel

“I have been working with Jess for two months and she has been fantastic. She has pushed me to strengthen my body and my mind-muscle connection. She is supportive, motivational and knowledgeable. She is a great personal trainer and I'm extremely glad she's been with me to teach me how to excercise properly and safely”

— Annalise

Rebecca Krieger

 "I worked with Rebecca 2x a week. I felt my sessions to be exactly what I needed to regain my personal strength and get moving again after being sedentary for a long time. Rebecca took great care into planning each session, and sent me details of what we were doing well in advance. Her dedication to her clients is top notch!"

Personal Training Policies & Procedures

A Trainer will contact you within 48 hours (Monday-Friday inclusive). Upon contact they will book the first session with you.  

Personal Training Session Protocols:

  • All clients will meet their trainer in the Fitness Centre.

LATE POLICY: Clients are responsible for arriving on-time to their training sessions. Trainers are obligated to wait only 15 minutes (10 minutes for 30-minute sessions). After that time, the session is either forfeited (session is lost) or the trainer may complete the time left. In this case, the session will be recorded as a full session.

CANCELLATION POLICY: Should a client need to cancel, clients are asked to contact their trainer 24 hours in advance of the scheduled training session to avoid forfeiting a session. If the notice is less than 24 hours, the client will be charged and therefore a session forfeited. Failure to contact your trainer will also result in the client forfeiting a session. In an emergency, it is up to the discretion of the trainer as to whether a session charge is appropriate.

PACKAGE EXPIRATION/REFUND POLICY: Individuals registering for personal training must complete all personal training sessions by the expiration date of the training package. Expiries are calculated from the date of purchase.
Packages and subsequent expiry time frames:

  • 3 session package - 1 month
  • 6 and 11 session packages - 6 months
  • 26 session packages - 1 year

** Any extensions must be requested to the trainer and will be assessed/approved on a case-by-case basis.
All packages are non-refundable/non-transferable after the 10-day cooling off period (refunds prior to the 10-day cooling off period will be prorated for sessions that have already taken place).
