Enjoying Working Out
I started personal training with Ola over a year ago while dealing with a lower back injury.
Fast forward a year later, my back is feeling much better. I’m lifting heavier than I ever have. Not only that, I’ve also picked up skiing and other racquet sports!

Her ability to take intimidating things (deadlifts, barbell squats, PULL UPS, Romanian split-squats) and make them feel approachable is honestly a super power.
I'm now lifting more than two thirds of my bodyweight. Some aches and pains I suffered from have definitely been minimized. My mobility has improved. My muscles are definitely more defined. But beyond all that, I just feel stronger.

Ola has creatively personalized my training plan for climbing specific goals in a way that has resulted in direct improvements. It has been such a joy to notice my increase in strength in my day-to-day life.
Her focus on cross training my lesser used muscles has also noticeably decreased my injuries in climbing (and life).

It's been a year now since me and Ola have been working together in 1-1 personal training - we started off with 1x per week and then moved to 2x after a couple of months.
Ol' thunder and lightnin' are coming in strong - my main goals have been to get my first pull up and push up and I'm happy to report that we've been making progress every week.

With Ola’s guidance, I saw my fastest-ever strength training progress.
As my goals evolved, Ola was able to evolve with them. Over the past six months, I’ve lost 20 pounds and gone from barely being able to run for 5 minutes to running for 52 minutes straight and confidently hitting my 5K + goals.

After almost 1 year of training with Ola, I have become stronger & more confident in the gym plus feel amazing in my body (without making the way I looked in the mirror or the number on the scale the main focus!).
She has always made sure to teach me appropriate techniques to avoid injury and tailor the training programs to my changing needs.

Ola has this amazing ability to inspire people to make lasting changes, and it’s definitely worked for me.
I’m feeling stronger with every session, and I actually look forward to each class—a huge change from how I used to feel about exercise.

I have been working with Ola since fall 2022... When we started, I had advanced arthritis in my right hip joint and was scheduled for hip replacement surgery
The outcome from working with Ola over time is significant: I feel fit, strong and confident in my body.

Absolutely not. I have trained dozens of beginners and consider it one of the most rewarding experiences as a trainer to watch them achieve their fitness goals and accomplish things they never thought possible. I will personalize the program to suit your current fitness level and help you progress.
In-person training is a premium service, costing between $190 and $270 per week. Having a coach to guide and push you during sessions is one of the best ways to achieve your fitness goals, but it’s not the only way.
If you’re not ready to invest in in-person training, I offer online and hybrid options that provide the tools and accountability you need at a lower price point.
If you’re not ready to invest in in-person training, I offer online and hybrid options that provide the tools and accountability you need at a lower price point.
I train individuals ranging from total beginners to intermediate trainees who want to advance their knowledge in strength and mobility training. What matters most is not your current training level, but your desire to improve by 1% every day and your willingness to stay open-minded.
I am located in Toronto's Corktown neighbourhood, at Training Lane, 487 King St E, Toronto, ON M5A 1L9 - a private personal training studio. My online clients are based throughout North America.
