    Client Testimonials

    • “As a lifelong athlete and 6-time Ironman Finisher, I have had opportunity to work with about a half a dozen trainers over the past 20 years. What makes Sean stand out from his peers arises from his genuine desire and level of empathy for everyone he trains to improve their fitness and feel better. He reads people well and adjusts his workouts to peoples’ energy/injury levels while still ensuring they are being pushed to their capabilities. I’ve had trainers that have had a “1 size fits all” methodology and care more about their workout plan than the athletes experience, and Sean is not that type of trainer. He is always prepared, always engaged and always ready to suggest changes to benefit his trainees. He’s the best trainer I have found in 20 years!”

      Kevin Eck

    • "Sean’s vast knowledge of fitness and nutrition allows him to provide sessions that support me on a physical and emotional level, achieving long term goals and a healthy sustainable lifestyle. He brings out the best in me."

      Alisha Dryburgh

    • "Sean has incredible knowledge on all things fitness whether its nutrition, the workout, stretching and physio it all makes working with Sean a complete luxury! His hunger for knowledge is palpable and he is constantly researching and searching for information for his clients. Sean just knows instinctively how much he can push you and make your training experience so positive. It’s never too much nor too little. To know Sean is to love him!"

      Catherine Guadagnuolo

    • "When I first began training with Sean, I had a very specific goal in mind: To prepare myself physically for an upcoming ski trip to the Alps. After reviewing the results of the fitness tests conducted by my exercise physiologist, and after performing a few tests of his own, Sean developed a training program that immediately addressed my weak areas and began preparing me for some intense skiing! I was so happy with the results that for my next vacation I once again enlisted Sean's services: This time in preparation for a KiteSurfing trip to the Dominican Republic. Sean continually adjusted the program to address the areas that needed the most improvement and as a result I had yet another amazing sporting holiday. Sean is obviously very passionate about what he does and I would highly recommend him as a trainer to anyone looking to improve his or her physical fitness, be it for sport or wellness."

      Norm Morcos

    • "A truly great motivator! Sean is energized by the success of others and it shows as he uses his expert knowledge and personable attitude to motivate individuals to meet their goals. Success will be ensured in all of Sean’s endeavours."

      Michael Duff

    • "Sean is a sensitive, knowledgeable trainer, with a holistic view of health and fitness. He draws upon his education and experience to deliver very effective programs that include not only exercise but also diet and nutrition guidance. He considers his clients’ abilities and existing fitness levels, past injuries and fears when developing a program for them, and is mindful of their dignity too! Most importantly, he helps to define realistic, attainable goals and is a constant source of sincere encouragement. Sean is also a good-natured, mature, and considerate person, with a great sense of humour. I have enjoyed training with him immensely."

      Dianne Pickett

    • "Sean is a positive, hard-worker that brought inventive routines and exercises to my personal training sessions. He's a great coach who helped me surpass my goals in fitness and to demand more of myself, thereby helping me to get into better shape."

      Teiya Kasahara

    • "Sean designed programs that helped me achieve my fitness goals while simultaneously restoring function in my shoulder, even after I had given up on physio due to lack of results. His attention to details, supportive and encouraging personality, and simply just joyful personality make working with him a pleasure. One thing that has amazed me with Sean is how he is able to accommodate my hectic life schedule on a daily/weekly/monthly basis. I cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone looking to improve their physical fitness."
