Ritual Fitness

I have been attending Ritual Fitness for the last few months and I am so happy that I have found this gym! My main goal in my fitness journey was to be able to say YES" to any activity that my daughter asks me to do and to encourage a healthy lifestyle for my family. Brendan is amazing to work with

Best fitness coaching!! Brendan is passionate about what he does and makes working out uncomplicated. At Ritual Fitness, you know you are a priority and Brendan is invested in your achievements. He makes working towards a well-balanced healthy lifestyle easier for each of his clients individual needs. I would give more than 5 stars if I could!

Brendan has been my Personal Trainer for the past year and a half. I used to workout in his Crossfit gym about 5 years ago but things in life change and unfortunately my routine fell apart to. As of late, our family has been thrown some challenging circumstances, which in the past would have thrown any discipline out the window. It's greatly appreciated that Brendan sits down with me and we figure out how to keep going. I know for myself, when I have a realistic regular routine, I think clearer, feel more awake and, not to sound cheezy I feel more alive. I am consistently progressing towards my health and fitness goals. In my opinion Brendan’s choice in a name, Ritual Fitness, lives up to what I believe he is accomplishing with his clientele. Thanks Coach!

I have been with Ritual Fitness for a few months however I have worked with Brendan in the past. I am so happy to be back. Brendan is an upbeat and positive person and provides me with the accountability that I need without being overbearing and pushy. From the personalized workouts to the nutritional support I always feel like he really knows who I am and what I need. I would highly recommend Brendan at Ritual Fitness for anyone at any level of fitness.

Brendan is very focused on making sure each of his clients are receiving high quality programming based on their unique situations. I have trained with Brendan for a few years and I appreciate the time and effort he puts into designing each of my programs and having him available to help keep me accountable, making sure I reach my goals.The programming that Brendan tailors to his clients needs has allowed me to workout at home and meet monthly for check ins, which being a busy working Mom with kids in sports is the only way I am able to find that time for myself.Personally for myself working out is a way to unwind and really focus on my mental health. Nothing beats the feeling of accomplishment after a sweaty workout.

I (Peggy Helm) have been attending Brendan’s classes for our group of seniors for five plus years. As seniors Brendan recognizes the importance of trying to help us maintain and build our muscle strength and balance. Brendan has developed workouts that focus on these aspects to help us achieve these goals while making it fun and interesting. I feel very comfortable at his gym and he is always so willing to answer my questions.Exercise is so vital to both our physical and mental well-being and I feel I have greatly benefited from his workouts; I feel energized and happy when I leave the gym.Brendan has done an amazing job with our seniors group and I would like to thank him.

I had a hip replacement surgery in February 2019, just at the start of Covid so options for gyms or even physio was non existent, my recovery was slow. Also for or 2-3 years prior to my surgery my mobility was very limited. I went from being a very active person running half marathons, teaching exercise classes as well as lifting weights to, while only in my 50s, not being able to get my self up off the floor. I watched my mother who is 30 years older than me having so much trouble with her mobility and saw how it was affecting her quality of life. In August 2021 I saw that things were not getting better on their own, I decided I had to do something if I wanted to have any level of quality of life as I get older. That is when I contacted Brendan at Ritual Fitness. I committed to working his personalized program 4 times per week. It has been 4 months and I am so happy with my progress! Brendan has helped me to work on using the correct form using the correct muscles, keeping me from getting sore or injured. The pace has been perfect, pushing me just enough always with positive encouragement. I have been able to progress without getting sore or discouraged. Brendan listens to my concerns and addresses them automatically. Thanks to Ritual Fitness and Brendan I am very optimistic about my mobility continuing to get better and knowing that I am going to be able to live life to the fullest as I age!!

I started working with Brendan in November 2021, My wife and I did boot camp style work outs before we had kids but stopped due to the time commitments they required on a weekly basis. Working with Brendan has been a great experience so far and every day I feel stronger and more energy. having 24hr access to the gym has been key for me as it allows me to get my workout done in the morning before juggling two kids hockey practices and work.

Having Brendan as my personal coach has been a huge benefit to improving my level of fitness. Previously I was part of a group class where it was difficult to get the right intensity to my workouts. I was also never sure if the workouts were helping me achieve my fitness goals or if they were going to aggravate a previous hip injury.With individualized workouts and a plan specific to my goals and abilities, I am more committed and consistent in getting them done, and confident that I am improving my fitness and my health.I highly recommend Ritual Fitness and Brendan as a fitness coach.

I've been working with Brendan at Ritual Fitness for about 2 months. I have really appreciated Brendan's timely and well communicated replies to any questions I have or adjustments I should be making. I really have enjoyed the personal feel of the programming I have received and how working with Ritual Fitness fits my lifestyle. 3 days a week for about 45 mins is all the time I need to work towards getting stronger. Brendan's focus on form and correct movement at the gym has made my lifting more confidant, pain free and does not feel overwhelming.
