Alex has been working with my son for a few months now. Not only are we noticing the physical changes in him, muscle definition and able to skate faster in hockey, we’re noticing a huge boost in his self confidence. Thanks Alex!

Great trainer and even better human. Will teach you so much more than just lifting". I worked with several people in the fitness industry and Alex is one of the best. Took the time to learn my abilities and helped me get in the best shape of my life. Outstanding human as well who is inspiring

Alex is professional and knowledgeable as they come. He's constantly studying and growing as a trainer. He asks you to work as hard as him which is extremely hard. As a medical professional I am often asked to refer patients to a trainer my go-to trainer is always Alex.

Alex knows his stuff! He’s personable and very knowledgeable.He listens and is adaptable; able to produce custom programs and nutrition guides to meet individual needs.He’s highly recommended in my book!

I have been with Alex now for almost a year now. I couldn't be happier.He is so technically spot on and scientifically based. He has corrected so many issues I have had from previous bad coaching. He adapts for all my ' limitations' pushes me when he knows I can do more even when in my head I am tentative about things. For example today we did back squats, I haven't done them in almost two years a poor technique injured my back. Because our foundational form for other exercises have been strengthened we tried with just bar and by end of session nearly 100 lbs, and no back pain.He upholds my indicidual needs and my goals as a priority. I have nerve compression and weak muscle engagement. He does what says he will. He has also linked me with excellent other allied health professionals to help with my issues such as chiro and physio.His knowledge is unparalleled. He took me through my first WBFF competition and I placed and my conditioning even surprised me. He debunks myth and gives scientific rationale for anything he does. There is no bro science. ItsI all latest research and evidence based.He goes above and beyond, follows up, does his check ins, keeps me on point and motivates and encourages me when my head has given up or I am having g a bad week.I CANNOT say enough about him. So professional and approachable. I plan on staying with him for a long time. Cannot wait to see what we do next.

Honestly Alex is changing the game in the Personal Training.From creating your very own structured success plan, to increasing your abilities from injury. Alex really demonstrates his attention to detail when it comes to working out and the needs of your body, setting you up for success and really allowing you to reach your goals!

I have worked with Alex over the past two years. In my 17 years of practice, I have not met or worked with anyone in the fitness industry who is as thirsty for knowledge or as hard working. Alex’s knowledge of nutrition, program development, and functional movement is second to none. If you are looking for a knowledgeable fitness professional to achieve your fitness goals. Look no further. Alex McDonough at MCD Fitness is your guy.Frank Astri BSc., DC, FCCPOR, RAc. RCCSS(C) resident

Alex is without a doubt the most knowledgeable, kind and inspirational personal trainer you could ask for. He will help you reach your goals in a way that’s right for YOU. His promotion of flexible dieting and safe movement patterns result in benefits you will see inside and outside of the gym. Whoever you are and whatever your goal is, Alex will get you there ! I have personally gone through multiple massing and cutting phases using his programming, and my results continue to amaze me. I have achieved so much beyond anything I could have ever imagined.

Alex at McD Fitness is the personal trainer you are looking for. He excels at finding the right program for the right person. He will work with you and adapt every component until it suits you and your goals. He doesn't sell products, he sells results!

Moved to Barrie about two years ago and seen Alex train clients amongst other trainers while I was visiting his gym. I actually studied Alex and the way he interacted with his clients for a couple of months and then decided to take him on for some help with nutrition. Alex’s knowledge is on another level, I’ve been training for over 20 years and this guy is the real deal. Don’t let the word diet fool you. Alex made me a plan with a lot of my favorite foods. I started at 278 pounds and with Alex’s help got down to 238 in no time. If you can listen , follow a plan and execute what he tells you, it’s impossible to fail! Thank you for your help and best of all you’ll have a friend for life!!
