Cindy FolzLawyerOttawa, ONJEAN LAFLEUR GOT ME RESULTS WHEN NOONE ELSE COULD!I hired Jean because I was suffering from complicated shoulder issues.Prior to seeing Jean, I had tried two different physiotherapists for different treatments, including IMS. Not only did my condition not improve but it continued to worsen.I reached a point where I was starting to lose hope that I would ever get better. I contacted Jean to help me achieve my range of motion and mobility goals.After conducting a thorough intake online, Jean provided me with an in home rehabilitation program which assisted me greatly in achieving my desired outcomes for my shoulder. I also visited him once in person for manual therapy to restore my shoulder joint mobility.Jean truly gave me my life back. I had been living almost 3 months in chronic pain and was unable to sleep well, dress myself, wash my hair or perform daily tasks like emptying the dishwasher. After just a month of working with Jean I felt 90% better and could do all of the activities I could do before.It was so amazing to work with Jean. He is very thorough, patient and understanding. He was also very encouraging in the most gentle way as well as very good at recognizing when I had reached my limit for the day. I could tell that he truly was truly passionate about seeing me improve. For all of these reasons I believe Jean Lafleur got me results when no one else could and for that I am truly grateful.

My experience in working with Jean was very good and was instrumental in getting me back in the game. After a severe lower back injury, Jean was able to properly assess the underlying factors of the injury and provide me with the tools to restrengthen and recover from what was a debilitated state. I can honestly say that I have made a full recovery from this injury and that my way of training has been revolutionized by Jean's input. Jean's experience and know how goes far beyond any other athletic therapist I've ever worked with. As a marital artist, Jean has always been there to correct my maladaptive ways of training and point out injuries that are waiting to happen. I would highly recommend him to anyone who at any age is wanting to remain active and high performing as an athlete.

I would like to thank Jean Lafleur of Spectrum Therapy & Fitness for the help he provided me when training for my half marathon. He is highly trained and attentive and provided me with the essential tools to get prepared without injury. His personal touch of sending texts and videos to keep me focused were extremely valuable.Corinne ByggdinRoyal LePage

I met Jean at an educational session offered by my employer and, in order to receive additional tips and ideas from him, added my name to his email list.Soon afterwards, Jean sent an invitation to begin a weight loss/training program at a price that couldn’t be beat! I signed up to begin my journey toward better health and improved fitness. To prepare a workout geared specifically to me Jean started by asking for my goals and the ‘trouble’ areas I would like to see changed.Having suffered injuries in a fall several years earlier, Jean prepared a program that was achievable given my limitations. After 3 months of following the personalized healthy eating and exercise regimen I was down 15 pounds and two dress sizes. I felt more energetic, had a reduced craving for sugar and looked forward to my next session with him. If I was in pain, Jean was able to provide muscle and joint manipulations to ease the discomfort.I continued working out with Jean for a year and a half - becoming stronger and fitter with each visit. Changes in my employment resulted in conflicts with my sessions but Jean prepared me well for continuing the workouts at home. As I said when I first met him, I want to be able to stand tall and walk quickly well into my eighties. Through his instruction and guidance, I have every confidence that I will!

Been with Jean for a couple of years as a client and am very happy with his training. i have had over the years many injuries -shoulder,knees,achilles heel due to playing a variety of sports Jean addresses all my limitations and works on improving my movements and overall strength and conditioning couldn't be happier

I met Jean a number of years ago and we immediately connected over our shared love of running. Jean is an accomplished athletic therapist with over 22 years of experience. At the time, I had been running for almost two decades but had completely neglected stretching and mobilizing. As Jean put it; “Your hamstrings are tighter than piano strings!”- I was in serious need of some help to run marathon distances and was afraid of being injured while attempting it. Jean was instrumental in introducing me to the idea of mobilizations. He helped me to understand that while I was running longer distances, afterwards my body was tightening and tensing more. Despite the fact that I was increasing my strength and endurance I was also increasing my likelihood of injury by neglecting my flexibility. Jean has provided effective techniques and programming to help reduce my chance of injury and increase my running performance. Since starting our coaching sessions, I have significantly ramped up running capacity, increased mobilization practice, and experienced no injuries. Jean has helped me better understand running form and how my body moves while running. He is a brilliant athletic therapist. Our conversations about fitness, movement, and endurance running have been invaluable to me. Jean is kind and straightforward in conversation. To anyone thinking of learning with Jean- don’t hesitate, I wish I had met him earlier. I highly recommend Jean to achieve all your athletic goals!

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Jean LeFleur from Spectrum Therapy and Fitness. Jean has been in the fitness and nutrition world for decades. He started out in gyms with mostly exercise strategies. I was surprised to hear his business is not all about athletes.At any age if you want an active lifestyle and better movement he’s your guy. If your goal is to lose weight and you want to make changes he can help. Jean says you cannot out train a bad diet. With his client centered focus in the area of nutrition he runs online self-paced classes.Jean is passionate about helping his clients get the results they want. He has a 5 step process with follow up and support all along the way.If you want to feel better, look better I would absolutely recommend Jean LaFleur from Spectrum Therapy and Fitness.Susan Clarkin

I went to see Jean LaFleur at Spectrum Therapy n Fitness for an evaluation and some fitness training.Jean has a very strong knowledge of the human body and all the mechanics involved in body movement. Through his thorough evaluation he not only taught me that I'd been doing push ups incorrectly for over 20 years, but also found a limitation in the range of motion in my shoulder. I had a shoulder injury from snowboarding 17 years ago and wasn't aware of how it had been limiting me all these years.Jean was able to correct it with Athletic Therapy and some focused exercises.I would highly recommend Jean to anyone trying to resolve mobility issues or looking to improve their physical fitness.

I first met Jean LaFleur back in 2004, and at that time, my fitness goals were:Suppressing my aging processImproving my fitness levelInvesting in my future and longevity by improving my health.When my personal training sessions started with Jean, I thought it would be a simple3 to 4 month timeperiod, and my new body would suddenly arrive.It turns out, I may have been a little naïve as to taking on a new and healthier lifestyle. I did have a lot tolearn about myself and my body.Jean introduced me to a life-changing program. Slowly and patiently my fitness goals becamemanifested into my new lifestyle.Along with my lifestyle adaptations, we also set out to build my determination and fortitude to achievequarterly/year goals. He also taught me to tap into my own motivation, so I could get through the morechallenging times of my program.These little changes did not fall lightly on me. I discovered that the culmination of all these littlechanges resulted in my development of being a strong and resilient woman.Jean’s coaching is the reason I became a stronger person, physically, psychologically, and emotionally.I am proud to say that all these little tools Jean has passed onto me, I continue to practice and thrivewith today.I am sharing my story with all who need positive change in their lives, and who would be inspired by my“sharing this testimonial”. I’ve appreciated these changes in myself for the past 16 years.Since my time with Jean, I find myself saying my very own “motto” or mantra rather, and that is “ I amalways just one workout away from a great day”! And like my other tools, I particularly use my mottoon my lazy days as well.During my time with Jean, I’ve also learned to check-in regularly with myself emotionally, physically, andpsychologically. The check-ins have allowed me to appreciate my self-love for what I’ve become.Thankfully, my family appreciates my fortitude and determination to remain healthy and fit.I feel like I have been coached with a quality that has fashioned the person I am today, resilient, strongand worthy!Grace Jaczynowska

I had the opportunity to meet with Jean one-to-one to discuss his personal therapy and fitness company. I was extremely impressed with his credentials, experience in the fitness industry, and more importantly, the strong connection he makes with his clients. Jean does not offer cookie cutter workout plans you might get from the big fitness companies and is able to provide highly customized plans for clients with varying degrees of fitness experience. I have personally been working out for almost 8 years consecutively and I believe I will learn a lot from Jean regarding my personal fitness and recovery plan. I would not hesitate to recommend Jean to anyone looking for the highest quality training services with a trainer who is dedicated to their client’s goals and success.
