Toronto personal trainer

November 6, 2009 3:40 PM

TorontoFilter: Help! I've been signed on by a modelling agency! I need to find a decent personal trainer and nutritionist in the Toronto area. Does anyone have any recommendations?

I got scouted in an elevator, and two weeks later they signed me on, so this has taken me by surprise. They want me to spend two months getting in better shape, then come back. I need a personal trainer who can set me up with a decent exercise program, and a nutritionist to help me with my diet. I can only afford to see both one time right now to set up an exercise and diet plan for the next two months. My current career as a courier leaves me with not a whole lot of disposable income. I live in the Ossington/Queen area, but can travel across the city for the right person.

Do you have a gym membership? I've worked with David at Petra Fitness and he's awesome. It's all over the internet/phone but it's a million times cheaper than working with someone in person, and in my experience, he's better than most of the personal trainers out there.

if money is an issue, try working with a student from George Brown College's personal trainer program. I have heard that it is cheap, if not outright free, and I think this is who to talk to. (if it's not them, they can probably steer you in the right direction.)

Not a personal trainer but for $150 or so per month, you could attend CrossFit Toronto, which is an awesome place. It's not 1 on 1 but depending on what time you go, it could be as small as 1 on 4. I moved far away but saw dramatic changes in the 2 months I went there. Peter was my guy but the others are cool too.
