I wouldn't be where I am without Sean's help.

Sean not only helped me with the technical side of things, he helped me gain the confidence to start working out on my own. The daily wins really helped me look for the positive in my day, which kept me motivated.

My experience with Sean the last few months has been invaluable. I reached a weight loss goal, but more importantly, I feel stronger (physically and mentally) and my chronic pain has lessened.

I've been active all my life, and with that has come a hodgepodge of injuries that have resulted in a few weaknesses (eg: a dislocated elbow = strength imbalance between arms; more ankle sprains than I can count = perpetually unstable wobbly ankles).

I got linked up with Sean at the recommendation of another coach when I noticed that some exercises in class weren't just difficult, they hurt.

My training with Sean often has a very rehab-esque feel to it, trying to address my limitations in a meaningful way. Without question, if you're looking for a coach to help you with functional fitness, Sean is an excellent coach for this. That said, Sean's true value is in the part of his training style that I consider more "life coach". Weekly check-ins about sleep/nutrition/stress AND my schedule for the upcoming 7 days have been invaluable.

I'm an Emergency Medicine resident, and Sean has never failed to adapt my programming to my constantly fluctuating schedule. He also encourages me to adjust my expectations of myself according to how much residency is demanding of me at a given time. We also do daily check-ins on what physical activity I'm doing outside of our programming and picking out one positive thing that happened in my day (which has been excellent for my mental health). Sean doesn't just train the movement, he trains the person.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Sean for nearly 10 months. Initially, I was feeling lost in my fitness journey and unsure how to focus my training. I was discouraged by my lack of measurable progress and stalled recovery from a long-standing back injury. Sean did an excellent job of helping me rejig my mindset and clarify my “why’s” for training.

During our time together, Sean has consistently helped me to stay focussed on these goals and to emphasize the functionality of my training, rather than outcomes I have little control over. I have seen a remarkable shift in my flexibility and mobility, healing from pain and increased ease in performing daily activities.

Where do I start!

There is definitely a lot I can write here but I’ll focus on the trust and comfort you bring being my coach. The day we met to discuss my specific goal, I can remember leaving the gym and knowing it was the right fit. Being someone who was never comfortable in gyms, you made the transition seamless. You asked the right questions, listened and fully understood the goal I needed to reach. You became a part of the journey. I can remember mentioning how I might only need work for a few months, and now almost a year later, having accomplished my goal, why do I still allow you to knock me on my butt week in and out haha. But that answer is easy. With the trust I’ve built up with you, I know you’ll continue to push me to be a better version of myself. Yes through exercise but also having developed a caring trustworthy friendship.

When I got hurt, you were one of the first people I contacted because I knew you’d point me in the right direction. That was a tough few months, very stressful, but you always had the right thing to say. Always reassured me things would be alright. Easily one of the hardest moments I had to overcome in my life so far, but the relationship we built, it made that moment doable. Hard to replace relationships like that.

I know the best coaching relationships are the ones you can call friendships. Can easily call that here. Your ability to be empathetic and trustworthy, while helping me become a stronger/healthier version of myself, still happy I reached out a year ago!

Appreciate you.

Sean is very knowledgable about health & fitness and it shows. When it comes to conditions/injuries he’s great at accommodating to train with regardless. He is easy to get along with and creates a comfortable environment to workout in. He has helped me rebuild a positive/healthy relationship with exercise and myself in general.

I had a hip injury many years ago that affected my whole right side. I have been going to physios for years trying to improve my condition with little improvements. After 4 months with Sean, I have major improvements, the pain is way down, I am stronger and I move better.

Thank you Sean!!

When I think about what I would advise others to look for in a personal trainer, a few things stand out: expertise/experience, strong communication skills, and passion. You exceed expectations in all three areas.

You have built a program that takes into consideration my goals and activities outside work. Having returned to judo/BJJ, I now feel the impacts of your program - I am stronger, faster, and more confident. This is the foundation I wanted and needed to return safely to competing.

In terms of communication and passion, it's clear - from the feedback on performance during our sessions to your newsletters - you care deeply about the work that you do. As clients, we are truly lucky. Thank you.
