Absolute Body Solutions St Catharines

I joined a challenge with ABS in January and am LOVING the process. Jason has been such an encouragement for my health journey. The workouts are challenging and he is passionate about his clients living a healthy lifestyle. I couldn’t recommended Jason Johnson and ABS more!!

Little Gym. Big Heart.This is the tiny, independent gym that has reminded me that lasting, positive change can happen anytime you’re willing to admit you want it and may need a little help getting there. Everyone working here is committed to helping their clients be the best version of themselves. Leave your pride and pretensions at the door and be prepared to achieve your goals regardless of your circumstances. When you’re ready to be better than you were yesterday, the people at Absolute Body Solutions are there to help you make it happen! Special shout-outs to J. and Brandon… you guys rock! Thank you!!

This gym pushes you to be a better version of yourself.When my mother and I first began attending Gillian’s classes, attending consistently was hard for my mother because of her social anxiety. “Can we not go today?” She would ask frequently. My mother’s depression and anxiety made it difficult to socialize and even more difficult to get back into exercise. Slowly but surely, Gillian’s classes couldn’t help but motivate her. My mother described it as “Gillian pushes you past your limits, but not past your boundaries”. My mother never felt pressured by an environment that expected more from her than she could perform. Being welcomed by a supportive trainer and warm fellow members, my mother switched from feelings of dread to “I’m excited for gym today! I bench pressed 3 sets of 60, you know”. Not only does this gym care about you as a member, you are important even before you join!A couple of weeks after my mother scheduled our first class, we got a call. “Hi, this is Jay, I’m just calling to remind you of the class you scheduled this Wednesday”. No way! We forgot! But thanks to Jay, we went. And that was the start of our journey.

Great gym! Joined for recommendation and I’m loving it. Had some issues with the key but Jay was quick to fix it, him and all the staff are super sweet and very helpful. 10/10

I am days away from completing the annual body transformation challenge, which I would recommend to anyone looking to create a long-term change in their life;I've had the opportunity and support to create and continually fine-tune my goals, to cultivate discipline, to watch results begin to become apparent...The personal coaches have been there at each stage, helping and guiding my progress. I have learned things that I know will help me continue on this path.This is a unique gym, the owners are passionate about helping individuals reach their fitness goals, I'm grateful to have had this experience.

Nothing but the the highest praise for Jay and Gillian here. I've been coached by Jay a few times and have been pushed and challenged mentally and physically by him with great results and learning that I can do anything I put my mind and body to. I just finished my first 12 week challenge at this gym and the result were fantastic. I got nothing but encouragement and motivation from J when I needed it. This challenge made me realize that I still got what it takes to better myself, make better eating habits and strengthen the mind and push forward to where I want to be.I will always recommend the gym to anyone who is looking to better themselves physically and mentally. J is the man, Thanks for everything

I've been training with Jason for over 10 years and have done two of the 12 Week Body Transformation Contests (2019&2023) to kickstart my training again after having 2 back surgeries (2018&2022) to help get back in shape after spending well over a year each time not being able to do anything from chronic debilitating pain 24/7.Jason has a passion for fitness that is probably unmatched by many and that he instills and teaches not only on his trainers but also clients. I've worked with Brandon the past 12 weeks, and he's been great at pushing me to continue to strive to increase my fitness and keep my nutrition on track as well. If you are considering just joining the gym or even better getting personal training, you will not be disappointed.

Over the past 5 years, I feel like I let myself go. I was struggling with shoulder and back pain, being overweight, tired, and just feeling overall uncomfortable in my daily life.In just 3 months, I feel like a totally different person. ABS has given me the motivation and tools to get my life back on track and where I want to be. Over these past 12 weeks, my body aches and pains have faded, I've regained my energy, lost a significant amount of weight, and I now feel like I am the best version of myself to date.I've realized over this time that this transformation is that exactly - a transformation, not only of myself and my thoughts, but one that includes my daily habits and overall lifestyle. This challenge has made me realize that healthy eating and exercising regularly is not a short term band-aid for the issues that I've been struggling with. By sticking with these healthy routines over the past few weeks and seeing the overall progress that I've made both physically and emotionally, it has motivated me to make these changes a part of my life not just for the short-term but for the long-run.Seeing the inspirational quotes on the wall each day as I do my daily workouts has made me go home and reflect on the new version of myself that I never thought that I could become.Another big reason for joining this challenge other than the ones I mentioned above is to be able to play with my daughter who will be born any day now. I want to have enough energy for her when she's older and to be an inspiration to her and let her know that she can do anything that she sets her mind to! I feel like this challenge has accomplished this goal for me - the most important one in my eyes.

Love this family owned gym. The owners and members are all amazing and want to be apart of making you a better version of yourself. I highly recommend if you are looking for a non-judgment environment, personal experience, and a great community, this gym is where you need to go.

At the end of the summer of 2022 I was feeling old and sluggish. I started debating about having gastric bypass surgery to deal with my weight. Then I saw a post on Facebook that was liked" by someone I know. When I looked up Absolute Body Solutions the post about the 12 Week Transformation Challenge popped up. It was just the thing to get me motivated again.I met with Jay and we discussed nutrition. His ability to explain how food is used by our bodies and how to use it to get stronger
