Personal Trainers Toronto: “How To STOP Aging”
When I was in London last weekend I had a chance to visit with my Dad and update his training program. For those of you who don't know, my Dad is an excellent triathlete who, at age 65, competed in the Ironman World Championships in Hawaii last year, and finished eighth in his age category.

Personal Trainers Toronto: “Getting results is easy when you have this”
One of the best selling t-shirts of all time expresses itself with two words: S**t happens. If I recall, the ancient philosoper Parmenides said something similar...although he probably used different words. Bottom line, things don't always turn out as planned, have you noticed that? When a person I train demonstrates their ability to respond to an unexpected challenge, and to … [Read more...]

Best Toronto Trainers: “A very underrated and underused technique”
"Imagination is more important than knowledge." - Albert Einstein When I was 16 I weighed 120 pounds. What's worse, I was pretty much afraid of everything. I hated myself for that. "Why can't I be more confident?" I was high school swimmer, a decent one too. For a small guy I was pretty explosive. I could do a 50m freestyle in 27 seconds flat, and the 100m freestyle in just … [Read more...]
Personal Trainers Toronto: “It’s never as bad as you think it is”
There was a time when I thought I'd left the fitness industry for good. It wasn't very long, but I was altogether out. During this time I worked odd jobs while I was figuring out what to do next. I lasted literally three days delivering windows because hauling the huge frames around all day made my gym workouts suck. I couldn't have that. One of the more interesting jobs I had was … [Read more...]
