Continuum Fitness & Movement Performance Inc.

Highly recommend Sarah at Continuum Fitness. She is and has been my personal trainer for over a year. Sarah is very knowledgeable, professional and so personable. She keeps me motivated and excited about my training and personal fitness. Not sure what I'd do without her.

I've been working with John Zahab for a number of years and been very satisfied with the results. As a multi-sport 2x Olympian, being functional and injury free were my number one goals while continually building strength. John always went to extra mile to accommodate my training/travel schedule and collaborate with my sport-specific coaches. His attention to detail and forward thinking was instrumental to my success and evident in the many programs he designed for me as an athlete. I highly recommend John whether your goals are performance at the highest level or regaining functionality.

I have relied on Continuum Team in prep for all of my expeditions. Sarah has helped me to work through injuries and stabilize strength imbalances in a way i can truly feel the difference! What makes Continuum so awesome is the way the team works together to provide comprehensive training, treatment and ongoing support. i HIGHLY recommend a visit to Continuum, you won't be dissappointed!

I have a really physical job and went to Madison for a massage. She went through which movements are inherent to my work to determine how best to help. There were certain areas I didn’t even know were sore, but she was able to resolve all my muscle tension and pain. Madison is a really talented RMT and I’ll definitely be back.

John, Sarah, and the Continuum team are a top notch group of fitness/health care experts that believe in looking to the route cause of strength and mobility issues. Through muscles testing and other tools, their goal is to teach the client how to build the best possible foundation of strength and mobility. This ensures that the client is getting the best possible program to match their weaknesses and not just a generic workout plan. When doing their program, I know I'm maximizing my time spent to achieve optimal results!

I am a Canadian 100 meter hurdler who has represented Canada on the international stage on five occasions. Although I've had some success, my journey has been far from smooth. In 2008, I was diagnosed with a bulging disc which took me off the track for four years. Since then, I've worked hard to get back to an elite training program. I had my sights set on the 2016 Olympics when I had another back episode, this time with nerve referral symptoms down my right leg. Although I kept training in the hopes of making Team Canada, it was unrealistic to think that I could perform to the best of my abilities under these conditions. After the Olympic trials, my back decided it had had enough. This is when Continuum Fitness came to the rescue! During the summer of 2016, I worked with Continuum Fitness' integrative team of Kinesiologist, Athletic Therapist and Strength and Conditioning Coach. The team not only got me back on track, both figuratively and literally, but laid a foundation for me to build on as I prepare for the next Olympic cycle.I went from not being able to bend down past my knees or drive for more than 10 minutes without excruciating pain to running a series of personal bests the following season and representing Canada at the World University Games. Take it from someone who has seen multiple therapists/specialists over the years, not only do the members of the Continuum Fitness team know what they are talking about, they genuinely care about their clients!I now train in Los Angeles, and have yet to find a team like Continuum Fitness that provides a full range of services. Truly, I would not be where I am today without Continuum Fitness's expertise and support. They have not only given me the tools I need to continue to keep training at the highest level but they have also given me the confidence that I can and will achieve the goals I have set for myself!

Continuum Fitness & Movement comes with knowledgeable and passionate staff including co-owners Sarah and John. I've worked with both Sarah and John who have taught me core and stability exercises that have allowed me to train for long distance races. Under Sarah's training and support I feel stronger and happier living a healthy lifestyle.

Weight loss, rehabilitation and FUN! Thanks to Sarah Zahab's expertise, positive attitude and love for what she does, I am thinner, happy and healthy. I was a person who disliked exercising and was ignorant about nutrition. Working with Sarah changed all that. I maintained a wonderfully tasty way of nourishing my mind and body, and now enjoy physical activity. It's alot of fun!Last year, I shattered my lower leg in an accident. Unable to walk on my broken leg for 6 months, I became weak and was in constant pain. Sarah and Jay Ankersmit got me stronger than ever and I was able to regain full range of motion. Through their guidance i was able to alleviate pain without use of pills.I look forward to every appointment and know I'm going to leave being a stronger, more knowledgeable and happy person.Thank you for all that you do on a daily basis. Only trust the crew at Continuum Fitness & Movement with my body and healthy.

When I arrived at Continuum Fitness, I had extreme pain in my left shoulder, with nerve damage on top of that, from a procedure I had done. Jay Ankersmit brought me back to full mobility. I can't say enough good things about Jay. He is very knowledgeable and detailed in his therapy work.Now that I have power back in my shoulder and arm, I am working on rebuilding the muscle back to where it use to be under the guidance of Sarah. Sarah is in-tune on how to re-build my shoulder from the ground up. She has found the muscles that were not firing [working] and I am in the process of making what I feel is a full recovery. Without Jay and Sarah in my corner, I would be in a very different situation. The fact that they work together is Paramount, finding what works and what doesn't is the key to any recovery and they are there to make sure it happens.I have seen countless therapists in Ottawa for over 10 years with this problem, without success, always trying to find someone who actually knows what they're doing. Well my search is over!!!
