SVPT Fitness & Athletics

Best Personal Training Facility in the World. The owner and her staff are professional and so knowledgeable. Helping anyone get in and stay in shape for life, to help you live a better life to participate in all fun things. Great at dealing with work arounds for injuries old and new.

I’ve been with SVPT for a few months now. I had family recommend SVPT to me who had been there for a long time. Joel Brissard is my trainer and has been able to help me get stronger and feel more confident. Trainers aside (which are all friendly and fabulous), it’s very clear Shara takes great pride in owning SVPT. It’s always clean, things are tidy, there is a water station, towels if you need, showers and in the bathrooms they have toiletries. There is a clear level of difference from this gym to the larger corporation ones, and mainly that is the vibe. There is a respect, on both sides of trainer and trainees. It’s become a comfortable second home here at SVPT.

TL;DR: Very nice gym, great staff, great workouts.I joined this gym in late October of 2022 looking for a personal trainer. The facility was easy to find. The interior is very well kept, clean, organized, and with great decorations highlighting the experience of the owner in the personal fitness space. The gym itself is a little small, but very open and welcoming and the size lends itself to the personal atmosphere. There is a private evaluation area as well, which I was very pleased to see as I am a very introverted person and this was my first time joining a gym. The changing rooms have a handful of stalls, which again as a very introverted person I appreciated. They are roomy and come equipped with personal showers. During the days that I am there, the gym isn't too busy, though I am there near closing so this might vary.My experience with the staff there has been wonderful. My personal trainer, Caroline, is great. We did an evaluation together and she was very patient and explained everything we were doing step by step. She gave me pointers and tips for various exercises, and was very respectful of my own needs. I think that encapsulted my entire experience with SVPT, helpful and respectful. They were very accomodating for my purchasing needs, even offering an extended expiry for my sessions. When I recently faced some health issues with my pets and had to skip a session, they offered to extend the expiry again.On the actual workout front, everything has been great. Caroline developed a personal at-home and in-gym regiment based on my goals and we have been steadily working together for over half a year. She is wonderful, friendly, down to earth and very patient. While I haven't had much interaction with the other staff, they also seem very friendly and knowledgable. I don't feel looked down on because of my weight or abilities and I know that my trainer just wants me to succeede. Over the last months I have gotten much more fit and it has been great.If you are looking for a small gym that treats you right and has good prices, this is your go to place. I have no real improvments I can offer for the owner or trainers, everything is great. Keep up the awesome work!

I started with SVPT 6 months ago and have had a great experience. The trainers are knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. The gym is well laid out and very clean. My trainer Caroline really listened to my goals. She understands my specific mobility limitations and works around them in ways I would never have thought of, allowing me to get better functional movement while building strength and avoiding injury. I think the diversity of the SVPT clients I see working with trainers really speaks to how successful Shara has been at building a gym that works for everybody and every body. I highly recommend SVPT.

I have been at SVPT for about five months now and I can truly say it has been one of my favourite and most rewarding experiences. Shara's facility is well maintained and equipped, as well as she's quick to respond to emails and keep you informed of everything ongoing at the gym. I've been working with Joel Brissard who is incredibly supportive and knowledgeable, and I feel so lucky to have had him as my personal trainer. I was never really a gym person, and have never really known how to work out or what fitness was. Joel has built a program that guided me through this journey that met me where I was at with room to push myself further. He has helped me build confidence in myself and my knowledge of equipment, movement, and fitness in general. His guidance has had me looking forward to going to the gym, as it's truly been demystified or me and I now think, yeah

Shara has built an amazing facility and has a team of highly trained professional fitness trainers.Our current trainer has helped us greatly, focusing on proper form and mobility as the cornerstone of sustainable progress.There are no shortcuts allowed and we love it

I found SVPT looking for a personal trainer that wasn't out of a big chain gym. The atmosphere is so friendly and welcoming, with trainers that are very professional and truly appear to love what they do. I can confidently recommend this gym to anyone who has been searching for a positive and comfortable work out environment.

I have been going to see Grant at SVPT for about three months so far. It has made a huge difference in my overall health. Grant has guided me to be much stronger and more fit. I no longer have shoulder or back pain from getting older, after focusing on core strength and mobility. This is private or semi-private training only, with a focus on your needs, which is exactly what I needed to stay motivated but also to do the exercises correctly. It also means you can be out of shape and there aren't a bunch of people around judging you. I'm a huge fan of SVPT and would highly recommend it.

Had yet another amazing workout with Andrew McMillan. Shara and her team have created a welcoming, comfortable, safe and clean environment.SVPT welcomes all levels of athletes and builds programs and training for individual sports, overall fitness and goals.Andrew has gained me 20 yards off the tee box and more importantly strength and flexibility I can put to use in my day to day. His programming and techniques push me to be my best in the gym. His encouragements and corrections in the gym are professional and genuine.I’ll continue to send my loved ones and customers to SVPT
