Lost 20% body fat and gained 9lbs of muscle in under 2 years

“Before I made the decision to start training, I was the girl who knew nothing about nutrition. drank wine every night and was terrified of the weight section at the gym. When I started working with Chris, he instantly made me feel comfortable and took the time to understand and help me reach my goals.

In under 2 years I’ve lost 20% body fat, gained 9lbs of muscle and can squat over twice my bodyweight.

Chris’ knowledge of fitness and his ability to motivate you and push you passed your limits are just some of the reasons why this man is truly gifted at what he does.

He’s completely changed my lifestyle and I’m incredibly lucky to have him as my coach. For anyone looking for a trainer who can take you to that next level, you want Chris.”

Lost 20 lbs in 2 months

“When I started my journey with Chris, I had already lost 20 pounds. But for a whole 2 months I couldn't seem to lose anymore weight and felt like I was starving myself. With Chris, I communicated my goals and what I wanted to achieve. Within 2 months of starting, I not only lost another 20lbs, but my physique had started to completely transform!

There are a few things that I like about Chris and his training. First and foremost, is that Chris is high energy all the time! So even on days when I don't feel like working out, he pushes and pushes and pushes so that I get the most of my time with him. Secondly, he is constantly reviewing your progress, by taking your pictures and measurements to ensure maximum results. Lastly, he listens to my body's needs and adjusts accordingly. With Chris' dedication, high standards and enjoying what he does, at 52 years, I have been able to meet my goals and we're now starting on new ones that I didn't think were even possible.”

Lost 20% body fat in 18 months

"After years of cardio/spin classes, group training exercise, and supposedly “healthy eating” my fitness and self-confidence was continuously up and down. Too intimidated to use the gym floor equipment, the class cardio sessions were my comfort zone for 20 years!

Since working with Chris, over the last 18 months I’ve lost 20% Body Fat, but gained so much knowledge, confidence and strength; and respect for the fitness industry.

Chris has educated and encouraged me to build muscle and strengthen my body in a feminine way; he pushes you to achieve your personal goals, tailoring training programs and nutrition to benefit you!

After seeing my personal journey unfold with weekly pictures, and feeling my body strengthen each week, I look forward to what can be achieved in the next 18-months.

Chris is not only an amazing personal trainer but has become my mentor, and friend. He truly cares about his clients’ and is the ultimate professional, always supportive and there to celebrate the wins (no matter how small) with you."

Loves the nutrition support and daily check ins

"I started training with Chris 2 years ago and it has been a great journey.

Chris is amazing when it comes to pushing his clients to new limits. I came in with a simple mantra to get in shape but Chris made me believe that I could achieve so much more and I did.

I personally love Chris's involvement in every step. He looks after your nutritional needs, your activities on your rest day, how you are feeling, etc. When some cares so much for you, you feel super motivated and look forward to your workouts.

For me Chris puts the "personal" in personal training. ”

Meal planning has been life changing

“Chris is one coach that has stuck around, pushed me and made me the gym loving, weight lifting nerd that I identify with after a year of grueling workouts, recovering from an injury, getting married, vacations but I always want to come back and train with Chris.

His technical know-how about the human body, what muscles to activate and great listening skills have helped me not even on my physical journey but he is also helping me become mentally strong. Teaching me how to do the food logs and the importance of meal planning has been life changing.

I would highly recommend him for everyone (beginner, intermediate or advanced level). He knows how to breakdown any workout for you in different levels and build you up for the tough work. He is great at keeping you consistent and ensuring that you stay on track.

Better book an appointment soon as he gets busy fast!”

Further on the golf couse, faster on the soccer pitch

“Although I have always played many sports, I got to my late thirties without ever having set foot in a gym or lifting a weight so came to Chris as a complete beginner. From day one Chris was beyond patient with me, answering my many questions and working me hard on my technique. His incredible knowledge of technique, his coaching methods, and the nutrition plan he put in place for me, all seemed to work almost instantly.

The extra pounds I was carrying fell off and I started building muscle and strength from the get go. I felt quicker and stronger on the soccer pitch and surprisingly started hitting the ball yards further on the golf course.

Chris has shaped my progression since, building monthly work out phases for me and continuing to motivate me every day. Chris is knowledgeable, dependable, flexible and affable and above all knows his stuff inside out; couldn’t recommend more!”

Amazing shape in no time

“I have played sports my entire life, but despite this, in my early 30’s I was no longer in the shape I had been in most of my life. I always looked at the gym and lifting weights as boring, intimidating and as something for jocks.

I saw my friend’s results after training with Chris, so I decided I had nothing to lose. I could not believe how quickly the results showed after committing to an hour or two of training a week.

He has made me look forward to the gym, gain strength I didn’t know I had, and get into amazing shape in no time.

If you need someone to motivate you and whip you into shape Chris is your man. He is not only fun to train with, but can take whatever area of your body you need to improve and get you there faster than you can say “Chris I can’t do it ” :)”

From 14 hours a day behind a desk to triathlon athlete

“I met Chris a few years back when I was training at the same gym with a different trainer. I saw how interactive he was with his clients, and that he listened and spoke to them about their concerns and improvements and knew that he would be the trainer for me.

Fast forward 4 years later, I work in the film industry and sit behind a desk for 14 hours a day and could tell I was losing my body complex and self esteem. A year later, I have been training with Chris consistently and have new goals to achieve including to complete 3 triathlons across Ontario this summer. Chris and I talk frequently about healthy eating habits and proper fuel as an athlete and we work together to work the right muscles, and body functions to build strength and lean out. Not only is this a personal goal as a competitor, but can be accomplished with his training for anyone who wants to improve everyday health and exercise awareness.

Chris has challenged me to be a better athlete, and to take care of my physical health. I wouldn’t have it any other way with a trainer to help achieve these standards. Dedication and consistency is the key to your success - and then trust that Chris does the rest. You won’t find that anywhere else in Toronto, I guarantee it.”
