Personal Training Works

TESTIMONIALS:

Bloor Fitness tailors individualized fitness programs that are challenging and fun. She never ceases to keep our sessions interesting and fresh, and is always standing by to offer the motivation I need when I want to give up. I have seen great results in a short period of time and would without reservation recommend her to anyone, who, like myself, needs that extra push in order to achieve their fitness goals. When I signed up to train with Bloor Fitness I did not just get a personal trainer, I gained a friend.

-Kelly

I signed up for a personal trainer because I wanted to learn how to maximise my gym sessions while working out by myself. Bloor Fitness not only taught me how to work out more effectively, designing her training sessions around my needs and desired outcomes, but also made it fun and challenging. Her sessions soon become one of the best parts of my week. They always pushed me just enough so that I got stronger and more capable with each session. I can now do things I never thought I would be able to do and I work out much more effectively even when she is not there motivating me. I would highly recommend Patrina as a personal trainer.

- Shana

I have been training with Bloor Fitness for a few months now and am loving it! PT pushes me to my limits and beyond by having me complete workouts that I never thought possible before. Not only has my physique improved but my strength physically, emotionally and mentally has also grown. It is a pleasure meeting with Patrina for my weekly sessions and I am looking forward to the future and all she has to teach me. The friendly but tough approach to our workouts help get me out of my comfort zone but never make me feel intimidated.

- Crystal

Like many people I have flirted with gym membership over the years. I've started programs at several gyms, but have always found my interest wavering after a month or two. I've never been able to find the inspiration to 'stick with it'. Finally that seems to be changing. For over four months I have been training with Patrina, both personally and as a participant in group fitness classes. Now, not only am I in the best shape of my life, but I am still feeling the same level of motivation and inspiration as when I first walked into the gym. It didn't evaporate after the first month! Bloor Fitness's guidance and expertise has allowed me to gain an understanding of training that has let me be efficient and effective in my personal workouts. As well, when I need that extra boost to stay on track, the focused intensity of her classes are there to take me back to that next level.

I have been an avid gym goer for a few years now, and I’ve seen some great results. However, I’ve never quite seen the results I wanted. Having recently decided to take part in a fitness competition in Spring 2013, I knew I needed a big change. My workouts just weren’t going to cut it and get me in the shape I need to be in. That’s how I met Charles. I’d seen him training clients at Bloor Fitness 24-7, and had always been impressed with his patience and positive attitude. So I purchased 12 sessions with him.

Charles listened carefully to all of my goals, including my goal of competing, and tailored all of my workouts to make sure that I not only hit all of my goals, but exceeded them. I’m now using even heavier weights than I was before he starting training me, with much better form. I am able to complete full chin ups, a goal I’ve had for a long time and have never been able to do. He corrected my shoulder imbalance with fascial stretch therapy, improved my flexibility by teaching me to stretch properly, and I look great. I’m seeing muscles I’ve never seen before. All and all, I came out far ahead of where I thought I would be after my sessions with him. Any time anyone comments on my great arms or strong legs, I know exactly who to thank!

When I first started training with Chuck, I was 4 months away from my wedding and I really wanted to get in better shape for the big day. I knew I didn't have that much time, but I told Chuck what my goal was anyway and hoped that he'd help me get as close to it as possible. By the time it came to my wedding, I lost 15 pounds and went down almost 2 dress sizes.

Not only did Chuck help prepare me for my wedding, he helped me realize how important, and how fun, getting fit and getting strong can be. I have never felt more empowered than when I have a barbell in my hands. I continued training with Chuck for another 6 months after the
wedding because of the great results I had, and I continued to get leaner and stronger. Every training session with Chuck was fun, and he really listened to what I wanted to focus on and adjusted the training plan accordingly. He introduced me to Olympic lifting and I've been hooked on it ever since.

Not only did Chuck help prepare me for my wedding; he helped me realize how important, and how fun, getting fit and getting strong can be. I have never felt more empowered than when I have a barbell in my hands. I continued training with Chuck for another 6 months after the

Thanks to Chuck, I now have a much different mindset about my life when it comes to health and fitness. Although I'm no longer training with Chuck, our time working together had set me up well for the future and helped me keep motivated to workout for myself. I'm still going to the gym 4 or 5 times a week and getting stronger and better everyday.

I have enjoyed Olympic Weightlifting, Crossfit and other forms of strength training for the last 10 years. I had always experienced problems with my flexibility, and this has been a major detriment to performance. My lack of flexibility would cause me to veer off balance in complicated lifts like the overhead squat, and I would lift with imperfect form. A 9-5 desk job did not help matters, and I watched my flexibility decline from year to year.

I had tried conventional stretching and Yoga, but I could never seem to get any results. I had heard about fascial stretch therapy and was curious, but not ready to take the plunge. I was lucky enough to have met Charles Lin through booking a general fitness assessment at my gym. I was very impressed with Charles' knowledge of anatomy, and he pointed out exactly the areas where I needed improvement through a series of tests. I was ready to try fascial stretch therapy.

I could not believe the results after only one session! I felt an immediate difference in my squat and deadlift. Now, after 10 sessions, I am performing my lifts with better technique than I ever have before and have seen considerable gains. More so, I feel much more limber and can do things now that I could never do like bending over and touching my toes.

I would highly recommend Charles to be your fascial stretch therapist , whether you are not exercising at the moment or you are an Olympic athlete. You will experience an immediate increase in the quality of your life from Fascial Stretch Therapy with Charles.
