JM Personal Training

I cannot say enough good things about JM Personal Training. I contacted Jana this year prior to my birthday because I decided that this was the year I would change my eating and fitness habits for good and it was by far the best decision I have ever made! I first joined a 4 week detox group that Jana had set up as I had to wait a few weeks for my first personal training session (there was a waiting list so that should tell you how GREAT JM training is). The 4 week detox was the perfect jump into the beginning of my new lifestyle. I continued on to do 12 personal training sessions with Jana and now religiously follow the program she designed for me!!! I have NEVER felt better or had better results! I plan to join some of her classes and have more sessions with her in the spring next year!!! My only advice is to take the leap with JM training because you will not regret it!

My partner and I started working out at Fitness Junction last fall. Neither of us have ever enjoyed working out until we started working with Alex. He is great at what he does. He keeps things light and fun while guiding us towards a better overall lifestyle without making us feel bad for missing at home workouts or over indulging on a weekend. We have both noticed improvements to our overall health and fitness. I would highly recommend Fitness Junction to anyone looking to improve their eating habits and overall fitness.

A few years ago I noticed Jana and John training at a local gym I attended. It was apparent that they cared greatly about giving excellent training to their clients each time. They also had such an approachable and friendly demeanour. I decided then and there, that if I were to seek personal training, I would go to one of them. At some point they left the gym I was at and I didn’t know where they went. It wasn’t until about a year ago I saw their sign at Downtown Guelph. They had opened up their own location. This January I went for it and contacted Jana to get some training sessions set up. I was extremely exhausted and tired in my body and mind - since I had had a really stressful year. And being very sedentary at work, was not helping. I have always cared about healthy living, but at this point in my life, trying to set up a plan for myself was just another task that I did not have time nor energy for. Seeking a professional, i felt, was my best option.When I met with Jana I was really hoping that I would either get her or John as a trainer. We weren’t able to make it work with our schedule so Jana assigned me one of the trainers from her team. At first I was a little disappointed because my impression of Jana and John was the reason I went to them in the first place. However, Jana assured me that all her trainers have to adhere to standards and care as much about their clients as her and John would. So with that I went to my first sessions......And I was blown away. I got such attentive, encouraging and great training throughout. It is clear to me that Jana and John do not hire just 'anyone' to work and represent their training business. I could not have gotten a better matched trainer with my personality and training needs.Recently my trainer moved on to different career opportunities so Jana ended up taking me over as her client. She has been nothing but accommodating, professional and always so lovely in her demeanour making the transition work as seamlessly as it can be. I have already had a few sessions with her and it is so impressive to see that the excellent care provided is no less between trainers.I have so far lost almost 10% body fat, become stronger, more mobile (which is so reliving for someone that does not have the natural gift of ‘flexibility’). I have more energy overall and clarity of mind. In turn have been able to manage and be more efficient in my busy work and daily life. Highly recommend this place. It is worth every penny!

I started training with Jana almost 2 years. ago. I wasn't too sure that I could start training at age 66 .My daughter had been training with her for a couple of years and her results have been terrific, looking fit and healthy. Loosing weight and feeling better have been my goals.So I began seeing Jana every couple of weeks and started keeping a journal of my food intake , sending it to Jana. She would give me guide lines and alternatives where needed. With jana's gentle way and patience, I started gaining muscle mass and losing weight. I work out at home three times a week and walk with my dog very day. Exercise is and will be part of my life always thanks to Jana.I still enjoy my hourly sessions with Jana, about once a month now, in the relaxed ambiance of their gym. I recommend JM training to anyone who wants to start working out, no matter your age and size, you will feel better and stronger, I know, I do.

I have had Jon as a trainer for about 6 months now. The main things that makes his training better than any other trainer I have had before is the attention to detail in form, new and ever changing exercises, accountability to food intake, continuous tracking to ensure progress, and always a positive and energetic approach. He has amazing results and is able to train to his clientele on so many different levels. Watching Jon and Jana’s wide variety of clientele and how they are able to adjust technique to each individual is amazing. They truly love what they are doing and are sincere and caring in every approach they take :)

JM Training has been life changing for me. The owners and all trainers have been nothing but welcoming & encouraging and have taught me so much. The gym is clean and well set up with everything you and the trainers need. I've been working specifically with Alex Tohivsky for almost a year now and he has helped me improve my mobility tremendously, lose 20 lbs, put on muscle & keep things fresh and interesting the entire time. Personalized workouts, nutrition coaching, emails through out the week with valuable information, goal setting and accountability is what you can expect. Thanks so much to Alex and the JM team!

I've been working with Jon for several months now and I have enjoyed every session. Jon is passionate about fitness and nutrition and it shows through the energy and enthusiasm he brings to every session. He is friendly and easy going but demanding at the same time. He places a lot of attention on the correct form for each exercise and he always strives to “fine tune” every muscle. His professionalism, extensive knowledge and commitment to his work and his clients, fosters the perfect scenario for success and a healthier lifestyle. I have worked with several trainers and he's one of the best I have had. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jon as a personal trainer!Thank you Jon!

Jana and Jon (and the rest of JM Team) are incredibly knowledgeable and energetic. They genuinely care about their clients and are able to accommodate any workout to suit any fitness level. I have done classes with Jana, Jon, Greg, and Madison and they are all extremely motivating and make you feel comfortable, no matter what your fitness level. Highly recommend giving them a shot!

Jon and Jana have been an integral part of our fitness lifestyle for the past 2 1/2 years. Their new location is very convenient to people like us who live in the downtown and the classes they offer have been fantastic! My wife and I have had Jon as our personal trainer and lifestyle coach, but even more so he is a good friend. Our kids have started in on classes, and they enjoy the energy that all the staff have in helping people. We are very lucky to have JM Training in our lives!

Alex became my private trainer fitness 12 mths ago and it’s been an incredible journey! He’s been non stop supportive, always encourages and on is top of modifying/adapting to my changing needs. I’ve lost 30 lbs AND I’ve gained strength, stamina, comfort in my body and confidence! It’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made and I highly recommend to anyone to invest in yourself! The payoff well exceeds the investment.
