Welcome to The Sweat Box. We are an award-winning fitness studio located in Kitchener, Ontario. We are a family-owned business where the focus is on our members.  We create our functional fitness programming to be challenging and accessible to everyone.  Every body, all ages, stages and abilities, are welcome at The Sweat Box.  Don't take our word for it: check out the video below to see what our members have to say about us.

At The Sweat Box we are focused on three primary services:  Personal Training, Group Fitness, and Nutrition Coaching.  Many of our members choose to "double dip" and combine two (or even all three) of our services to achieve their personal goals.Each of our services is broken out below, along with their respective pricing options.

Tired of wandering the gym floor with little or no results?  Looking for specific results but uncertain how to achieve them?  Need a little extra motivation and accountability?  Consider experiencing a personal training session with one of our Certified Personal Trainers.  We love working with men, women, and teens to help you get fit, stay motivated, build more muscle and feel great about what you see in the mirror.  A healthy body equals a healthy mind.  We can help you reach your goals.

Habit based nutrition coaching on your terms.  No calorie counting, no restrictions, just good habits for life.Our programs are delivered primarily online and include everything needed to keep you accountable and moving towards your goal.  You will access the program through the mobile app or your web browser.  You will also have a one-on-one accountability call every week with your coach (over Zoom or FaceTime).Once you sign up, you will receive an email with the link to access the program.

Amazing support from the coaches during your workout & super fun classes. Non intimidating environment! I highly recommend these boot camp classes to anyone looking to start their fitness journey or looking to add something new to the mix of their current program.

Christine & Marc are passionate like few others. With inspiring energy and enthusiasm, they are honest & direct and are they there for you through it all. They only want you to succeed. I am SO glad I gave them a call!

Christine has been a full time personal trainer and group fitness instructor since 2016, and holds multiple industry certifications including Personal Training, Corrective Exercise, and TRX Group.  Christine founded her personal training business - Body By Chris - and grew so quickly that she had to open her own dedicated fitness studio.  You know this studio as The Sweat Box.

Prior to opening The Sweat Box, Marc has been a part-time personal trainer and group fitness instructor since early 2018.  Having struggled with poor eating and little exercise for much of his adult life, Marc draws heavily on his own weight loss journey (from 250lbs to 165lbs currently) to guide others on their health and fitness path.

Josh holds his black belt in Shotokan Karate, which he has been teaching for over 7 years.  You need to come experience Josh's kickboxing classes for yourself!  Josh is also a Certified Personal Trainer and Group Fitness Instructor.

The Sweat Box: Opinions

Vicki Zettler 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I joined The Sweatbox in the fall of 2021. I hadn't worked out in many many years, was in the worst shape of my life, and definitely never thought I would like going to a gym. It has now been over 6 months since I joined, and I love it. Everyone is so welcoming, and every workout is different. This spring I also took the 12 week nutrition course. This course and Chris' weekly check ins were incredible. I learned so much about how to properly fuel my body. I finished the course with so many new tools and a huge increase in confidence moving forward. I continue to see results by combining Sweatbox workouts and the Nutrition coaching. Thanks Sweatbox!

Sana Farooqui 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Personal training with Josh was the best fitness decision I could make! I trained with him twice a week for a few months, starting out pretty unfit. He has such motivating energy and makes you feel comfortable while pushing you to improve. It was such a mental shift for me to look forward to every workout and that is a testament to Josh as a trainer. The gym itself is clean and welcoming, and Chris is such a wonderful guide through your training journey. If you want to make a positive impact in your fitness and are able to invest in some PT, Josh and The Sweat Box are the way to go!

Arati S 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Loved the PT sessions with Josh! His energy is infectious and definitely pushes you on days you don't feel like working out. Helped me a lot get back into the rhythm of things and correcting my form. I really needed this after getting back into lifting weights almost after 3 years.

Mike Dickin 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: The Sweatbox has become a special place for me. Over the past year, Christine and I have met up twice per week for 1:1 personal training to work towards my fitness goals. Christine is super positive and patient and she makes sweating fun, all the while holding you accountable to your goals and to showing up for workouts! Noticing the little changes like being able to walk up a flight of steps without keeling over, to the not so little changes evident when looking in the mirror. Christine, thank you to you and your team for kicking my butt into better shape! I strongly recommend The Sweatbox to anyone looking for a high quality fitness experience.

Mellissa McDonald 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: The Sweat Box is the best fitness facility in town! The space is modern and inviting and the group fitness programming is never the same, preventing boredom and challenging participants to progress. Owners Christine and Marc either teach or oversee classes and are there to correct form and push you past your self-imposed limits. In addition to group fitness, I’ve had the pleasure of working with Chris one-on-one for both personal training and nutrition coaching. Chris truly cares about her clients, their goals and progress. She is one of the most positive people I know and uses her experience and knowledge to support you on your journey. This extra one-on-one support helped me overcome challenges and celebrate my achievements. Christine and The Sweat Box are a big part of my overall health and wellness. If you’re looking for a new place to achieve your fitness goals, you’ve found it!

Irma Brcanovic 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: The Sweat Box is the only place in this world that can get me out of bed at 5:45am. Chris & Marc have created such an amazing community, something Kitchener was desperately in need of, in my opinion. The gym is so clean, the people are so great, and the workouts are so killer... I feel so comfortable coming to every class, I feel genuinely supported, I've learned so much, and I actually enjoy coming to workout - because of this wonderful place. **Honestly, even pre-Covid, I was always so shocked at how sparkly clean the gym always is... I've personally watched Marc pull out that Dyson vacuum 600 times in the past two years. Haha.

Carolina Romero 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: SUCH GOOD WORKOUTS WITH AMAZING RESULTS ! Both Mark and Chris where very helpful since the beginning of my journey with them. They helped me feel very welcome. The classes where truly amazing. I come from a Crossfit background and sometimes I think a break from too much competition and in a more focus exercise program is healthy. I was so happy with my results. I will definitely recommend working out here.

Fantastic experience: The Sweat Box is hands down THE BEST. Christine and Marc are meticulous in every aspect of how they run their modern, clean and safe fitness studio. Workouts are designed to challenge you to push further than you think you can go, and if you ever waiver in that progression they are there to encourage you as you need it. The workouts balance strength, cardio and core perfectly and provide modifications for all fitness levels. All the coaches are fantastic, knowledgeable and supportive and there’s absolutely no judgement. The experience is nothing but positive. I’ve attended the Sweatbox for over a year now and have made enormous strides in health, fitness and overall wellbeing. Chris and Marc.. Thank you. Whether you’re looking for personal training, Yoga or group fitness. You need not look any further than the Sweat Box. This is one business where you honestly are looking for more stars to give, as 5 just doesn’t feel like enough.

I love how different and unique each workout is, and the environment/people have been so welcoming!

They will adapt and train you in the most safest way that fits your needs!

Kimberley Henderson 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Nothing is better than a workout with Chris and Marc from The Sweat Box! They not only show you proper technique but also provide an environment that is welcoming, encouraging and motivational. I never thought that I'd be able to do half the movements/exercises I can do now. They push you in the most motivational and encouraging ways! The experience here is like no other conventional gym or training facility. I love that they actually work out WITH us! Makes the whole experience feel like they are in it with you, and they are! I have had more non scale victories with Chris and Marc than any other training experience and had fun while doing it! Even during times of uncertainty they have provided support and motivation in ways that could never be expected. They also love to support local businesses like themselves which is a huge plus in my book! Can't say enough good things about these two. Can't wait to get my butt back to The Sweat Box and give them both huge hugs!!! If I could give 10 stars I would!!

Alexis Adsett 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Chris is such an amazing trainer who I would now call my friend. She is so inspiring. Chris always strives to make her workouts fun as well as kick your butt!! She is able to modify the workouts when needed, and she always has a smile on her face. I would recommend to anyone, and I cannot speak highly enough of her!!!

Abby Pressman 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Over the years I have tried many different gyms and fitness places but nothing has ever stuck.....until Chris. She pushes me and motivates me in ways that make me see my own potential. Chris listens to what you need and talks to you about how she can help you in all areas of your health. The best thing about her is how supportive and caring she is. She is always just a text away when I have questions or need some motivation.

rosa bauer 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: By far the best thing I've ever done for myself was contacting Christine to help me get into the best shape possible. I should have done this years ago, but Christine was worth the wait!! She customizes the workouts based on personal goals. The workout plans are effective, challenging, fun and yields results. Even better, Christine is a caring, supportive and attentive trainer - so genuine! If you're looking to become the best "you", Christine will get you there!!

Sarah F. 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: For every session I have always experienced a welcoming environment, lots of encouragement to succeed, and the support needed to succeed both in the gym and at home. The workouts are always really well planned, it never feels like the same workout over and over again, and my whole body gets the workout which is what I wanted. Great open lines of communication here. Not only would recommend to family and friends but I have recommend to my family and friends. I am already seeing encouraging steps forward in the right direction to my goals one month in!

Katrina Vorwerk 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Christine for over six months, three times a week. Each workout has been amazing! She encourages me to do my best every session. I am impressed by her creativity, as each workout is personalized and unique. Christine truly cares, and you can tell that she wants to reach your goals. I’ve also recently been impressed with how she accommodated my whiplash injury and kept me active and progressing while staying safe and recovering. Thank you!!

Agnes Krzewinska 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Can’t say enough great things about Body by Chris. Chris is always positive, motivational, and knowledgeable. We always have a blast working out. Never thought I’d say that about work outs! One of the many things I greatly appreciate and that is priceless to me, is that Chris will make immediate adjustments for each individual based on how their body is coping with the workout. I had some preexisting knee and wrist issues, which have held me back from working out, as I was worried that I would make them worse. Chris modifies exercises or refocuses them during each session so I don’t aggravate my problem spots. I have made great progress in my fitness journey and avoided injuries thanks to making immediate adjustments during workouts. Highly recommend Chris!

Galit Rikovitch 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Chris for a few months now and have seen great results! She is an amazing trainer and an amazing person as well. Always ready with a creative workout and positive energies. I knew that if I just sign up for a gym, I'll never go... I was referred to Chris by a friend and kind of forced myself to start... but I'm so happy I did. Don't waste another day, just do it! Thanks Chris :)

Dan Flikweert 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I love Chris and her workouts! Always very helpful and knowledgeable with what to eat and I am always positive that she's going to give me an awesome workout every time I see her!

Wendy Vreeswyk 4 years ago

If you want someone to kick your butt and push you to do hard things, Chris is you girl. Not only that, you’ll have the best time!!!

Martha Turner 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Christine at Body by Chris is amazing.....The assessment on my initial appointment was to say the least kind! The workouts are on my schedule and Chris is super flexible on time adjustments. She doesn't let you "call it in" and my body changed in less than 3 months. I would highly recommend Body by Chris. Christine's "you go girl" attitude is so upbeat the training sessions fly by!

edina r 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Starting to train with Chris was the best decision ever! She is not only professional and supportive but makes working out fun!

Brooke Adsett 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I do not have enough words to describe how amazing Chris is!! Before I started personal training with Chris, I was active and participating in different fitness classes. I found that I was getting preventable injuries. When training with Chris, the main thing she focused on is technique and being safe, while getting a good work out in. Not only did Chris make me more active, she also helped me boost my confidence and build my muscle to assist me in every day living.

Nancy Strickler 4 years ago

If you are lucky enough to be able to train with her, I HIGHLY recommend Christine!!!!
