Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Training
What is Personal Training?
Personal training consists of one on one coaching from a certified personal trainer... this trainer teaches you, motivates you, and gets you to work hard consistently while following a detailed fitness plan, which the trainer develops for you based on you and your goals.

What if I don't have a gym membership or a gym in my home?
No gym or fitness equipment required. I can train with you at your home with the fitness equipment I have or you can come to my condo gym and train with me.
What kind of results can I expect?
It honestly depends primarily on how much desire and commitment you have towards achieving your goals and how hard you are willing to work. My personal training programs will allow you to get the most out of your fitness and nutrition.
On average, most clients lose approximately 1 pound of body fat (not scale weight) per week and often will lose 6-15 pounds in a 6 week period.
How do I know which program is right for me?
It all depends... first, you need to know what your goals are... then look at the different programs I offer and see if you find one that's a good match.
If after looking at the different programs you still aren't sure, I can help you figure it out.
How often should I meet with a personal trainer?
This will depend upon your goals, how quickly you want to achieve them, your schedule and time available to exercise, and your budget... but when considering the cost, be sure to remember that this is your health and there is nothing on earth that is more important... because without it you have nothing.
On average, most clients do best when they meet with a personal trainer 2-3 times per week... fewer then 2-3 sessions and I find most people will slack off and achieve only minimal fitness results.
What are some things to keep in mind when determining how often I'll meet with my trainer?
- "How fast do you want to achieve your goal and see results?" The more frequently you meet with your trainer the faster you'll see results and achieve your goals and there are several reasons for this... consistency, accountability, motivation, guidance and you'll work much harder with your trainer than on your own.
- "How much experience with exercise do you have and how much do you really know?" While many people have exercised before, many for years... do they really know it all? It's not likely... I have spent years studying and learning to know what I know and my primary focus is on helping and teaching you. Most of my clients work with me 3 times per week to start out and then will gradually decrease the frequency as they progress and learn more, and feel more comfortable and confident on their own.
Do you offer a payment plan?
Yes, I offer flexible payment terms and accept cash, checks, credit cards via paypal (Visa, MasterCard, and American Express). All of our programs can be paid as one payment or split up into two or 4 equal payments.
What areas do you service?
Currently I only service the City of Toronto, and West Etobicoke and do not service the outlying areas (Mississauga, Scarborough, etc.).
