Hybrid Personal Training in Toronto

I’ve been training with Ola for about 18 months, and I’m incredibly grateful to have found such an exceptional and knowledgeable personal trainer. When I started with her, I was essentially beginning again, rebuilding my strength training routine after relocating to a new country. Ola met me exactly where I was, with an approach that felt encouraging and sustainable. She broke things down into manageable steps and was always open to adapting my program based on changes to my environment, emotional state, or financial situation, which helped me stay consistent and focused on my goals.

With Ola’s guidance, I saw my fastest-ever strength training progress. I hit personal records I never thought possible, adding 100 pounds to my back squat, turning my former deadlift one-rep max into my working sets, and lifting my heaviest weights to date after years of training with other PTs.

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.

Ola creates a training environment where you feel seen, supported, and challenged in the best way. She encourages you to connect with your “why” and brings out the best version of you through her consistent support and expert guidance. I can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking to invest in their long-term health, strength, and confidence.

I have been working with Ola for over a year now and am so happy with my progress under her direction. Although I have been lifting weights for many years, I hadn't made real progress against my goals.

I have wanted to get stronger and lift pain-free. Not only am I lifting more, but I feel so much better. She has spent a significant amount of time working with me to understand where I had pain and then designing my movement prep to counter my issues. She's also provided excellent recommendations for other health providers (chiropractor) to help with specific issues.

I highly recommend Ola. She's knowledgeable, cares, and takes a holistic approach to building strength and overall well-being.

I have been working with Ola since 2022. When we started, I had advanced arthritis in my right hip joint and was scheduled for hip replacement surgery. I could barely walk to the end of my driveway at the time, but being an active person, I still really needed exercise and movement over the 6 months before surgery. Ola created a strength training program with modifications that supported my mobility — it was very doable, appropriately challenging, and kept me as fit as I could be given the circumstances.

At three months post-op, I got back into training full-on and have felt the benefit of continuous progress and measurable strength gain with 2x/week workouts plus stretching and mobility “homework” exercises. The outcome from working with Ola over time is significant: I feel fit, strong and confident in my body.

I am grateful to Ola for her knowledge and thoughtfulness in creating a highly customized program mindful of my personal mobility and that incorporates exercises to support my goals as a very active mountain, gravel and road cyclist.

I highly recommend Ola: she is a real gem of a person and an exceptional personal trainer.

2-year update: I started with Ola pretty much two years ago - I was struggling with motivation and consistency.

In the first year, Ola helped me smash my 3x a week consistency goal and despite a period of personal stress Ola held me accountable and kept me showing up this year….she's now built me back to getting my first ever pull up (a miracle!) and a personal best on my squat.

Ola is very knowledgable, she will push you to be stronger and she’ll tailor everything to you personally, even in a group setting. She’s also just the best person - kind, funny and caring! I've recently joined small group training classes in addition to my 1:1s and would highly recommend both options!

I've been working with Ola for over a year now and I am so grateful to have her as my personal trainer.

Before training with Ola, I tried to go to the gym on my own but it was an intimidating place when I didn't know what to do or whether I was using the equipment correctly. Ola listens and understands my strength training goals, designs a training program that suits my needs and continues to evolve it as I progress. She teaches me how to do each exercise safely without injuring myself.

Most importantly, she is essential to keeping me motivated. She is encouraging and enthusiastic while keeping professional. I've seen significant progress since training with Ola.

I'm now feeling stronger and more confident in the gym. I would highly recommend Ola to anyone who's looking to start or continue to progress in their strength training journey!

I would highly recommend Ola for personal training and coaching! I initially reached out to Ola when I wanted to get back into weightlifting safely and effectively. I had a number of aches/pains with my knees and back but that did not stop us from getting to work.

Ola has been incredibly knowledgeable in not only just fitness but in taking care of joints and working through discomfort. Ola found ways in her programming to keep me moving and progressing without the aches getting in the way! It's been about 6 months and I am nearly pain free. Beyond weightlifting, she's introduced me to functional mobility and breathing exercises which have made me feel amazing.

Ola goes above and beyond for her clients. She's been incredibly thoughtful and supportive in navigating the challenges of balancing fitness with a busy lifestyle and the aches and pains.
If you're looking for a trainer who knows not only about fitness and weightlifting but also sees the bigger picture of fitting it all into your lifestyle - Ola is the one!
