Positive Movement Fitness

Fantastic experience: Dustin and his team at Positive Movement have gone above and beyond for me in my journey to recover from multiple knee surgeries. They have helped me gain confidence in my body through rebuilding the strength in my knee and focusing on technique and the doing things the right way. I can't begin to express my thanks and appreciation for Dustin and his team. They are the best and have positively impacted my life.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love the small group classes. All the instructors are amazing and are able to pivot to the needs of their clients. I would recommend this facility to all my friends.

Fantastic experience: Outstanding in every way. Facilities, equipment, staff, clients, cost and focus of programs. If you want to keep, develop (or rediscover) the best you to journey into the future there is no better place. Count on it.

Negative experience: This business organized a road closure on Sept 29 2024, but never notified residents in the area. The level of entitlement displayed by this business was astonishing in the treatment of people who live in the area. Would not recommend this gym to anyone. Sad that a small business in the community would resort to behaving like this.

Fantastic experience: Awesome workout experience! Fabulous staff - friendly and knowledgable - and a great space to workout. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Thank you Positive Movement and Dustin for organizing a wonderful kid's race! Because of the nature of a road race, my daughter and her friends were able to feel independent, strong, and building self-confidence! It was magical to witness! Thank you so much !!!

Negative experience: This business is a joke! If you witnessed how they treated residents during the event they organized on September 29, you would definitely want to keep your distance. Instead of being respectful and addressing the concerns of those affected by the road closures without prenotice on Kanata Ave, as the organizer of this event, they chose to taunt and belittle frustrated residents. Calling people with valid concerns 'Karens', telling residents with kids "Who Cares" and arguing with elderly residents trying to get out was completely unacceptable. They displayed a blatant disregard for the community, insisting that residents 'go home' and accusing them of not caring about the kids. It’s disappointing to see such poor behavior from an organization that should be fostering community spirit. The main purpose of this event was clearly to promote themselves in the community, and they certainly achieved that!

Fantastic experience: A fantastic training space with dedicated trainers who truly care about making fitness fit seamlessly into every aspect of your life. They take the time to understand you as a whole person, focusing on how to create results holistically. From how you think and eat to balancing work, life, and stress, they consider it all to help you train effectively.

Fantastic experience: Excellent facility, the staff are so knowledgeable and attentive to my plan and are so encouraging with directions. All shapes, sizes and ages are made to feel so welcome and one actually excited to go twice a week. The owner is very engaged in the business and cares a lot about our community’s health and well being. He also supports our local Kanata Lakes magazine and the Ottawa run. Thank you to the staff at PMF for your ongoing support, encouragement and helping me reach my goals.

Fantastic experience: 81yr.Been with Dustin since early Covid days. Great empathetic knowledgeable trainer. Friendly staff and clients. Dustin's observant wrt my aging body (and mind) so changes routine. I'm back biking, stronger, abit more flexible. He's even got me listening to louder "modern" largely unintelligible music. Dustin is highly recommended. Thanks.

Fantastic experience: What can I say but I just love it here. I joined in May and have had the opportunity to do each of the trainers sessions and they are all amazing! Really personable and supportive! It’s great to really enjoy working out because of the people there.

Fantastic experience: I initially sought out Dustin because I plateaued after delivering my second child. I wasn't seeing the progress I wanted, despite regular strength and cardio training as a long distance runner. Dustin helped me realize that other factors were having an impact on my results. We immediately focused on heavier weights, protein intake, consistent and better sleep, and stress management. We have been working together for a year, and I can say that the experience has been transformative. His approach to holistic wellness has changed my mindset. I'm no longer looking towards the scale for an indication of progress, and instead focused on enhancing my energy, strength and overall wellbeing. As an active, busy executive with a young family, finding time to prioritize wellness & myself can be a challenge. Dustin, an owner, competitive athlete, husband and father of three young kids, not only understands but lives these similar challenges. He is practical in his approach, and his support and customized program provides me with the accountability I need, given my hectic professional and personal schedule. He is always positive, encouraging, and most of all, he has taught me to give myself grace. Personal training can be an investment, but with Dustin, it's one that's absolutely worth it. He is a fantastic role model and empowers me to be my best self, both in and out of the gym. Thank you, Dustin, for not just being a personal trainer, but a true partner in my wellness journey.

Fantastic experience: This is an amazing place to workout! I love the small group classes, I am currently training with Sarah who always brings the fun and has helped me improved my core muscles after pregnancy! All the personal trainers are very experienced, friendly and create an encouraging atmosphere for all. So happy this gym replaced the Quickie Mart! And they still have a few protein bar snacks for sale

Fantastic experience: My experience with Positive Movement has been nothing short of exceptional, and much of this is thanks to my incredible personal trainer, Sarah. Sarah has truly been a game-changer for me. She took the time to understand my unique physical issues and personal goals, crafting a workout routine that is both effective and enjoyable. Her knowledge, patience, and genuine care have made each session a pleasure. Sarah's ability to motivate and encourage me has significantly boosted my confidence and commitment to my fitness journey. Her personalized approach and unwavering support have made all the difference in helping me achieve my goals. I am incredibly grateful for Sarah's exceptional training and enthusiastic support. Thank you, Sarah, for being such an amazing and inspiring trainer!

Fantastic experience: I’ve never met someone more passionate about helping people move better and live healthier than Dustin. With Positive Movement, he’s built a business that encapsulates that passion and drive. He and his team are all professional, friendly and eager to help. The gym is immaculate with all of the equipment anyone looking to live a better, stronger life could ask for. I’d rate them 6/5 if it was an option.

Fantastic experience: My experience with Positive Movement has been very positive. The owner, Dustin, responded to my query immediately and arranged for me to come in for an interview. I found the facility itself much less intimidating than larger gyms and the staff were very friendly and experienced in dealing with seniors. My personal trainer has developed a routine based on my physical issues and personal goals. I look forward to working with Positive Movement to improve my physical conditioning and achieve my goals.

Fantastic experience: This gym is amazing! The atmosphere is very relaxing. The staff are all so friendly and professional. Everyone makes you feel welcome. My trainer Jacob is awesome. . I really enjoy my workouts. He goes above and beyond to make sure I am meeting my goals. He checks every session how I am feeling and adjusts accordingly. I highly recommend this gym! You won’t regret it. Thanks a lot!

Fantastic experience: Great to have this level of expertise in our community! Clean, professional, knowledgeable!

Fantastic experience: When I started training, my mobility was bad due to an injury. The workout with Positive was really good. My mobility not only improved, I feel stronger. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: This has been a highly rewarding experience for me as I feel better by the day. My personal trainer, Sarah, is highly knowledgeable about fitness and strength development and extremely encouraging. The variety and pacing are well designed to help me learn many exercise techniques. Overall, an excellent experience for me.

Fantastic experience: Excellent location, excellent staff, and excellent equipment!

Fantastic experience: We highly recommend Positive Movement Fitness! From our first conversation, we felt welcomed by Dustin and his friendly staff and motivated by the energetic atmosphere. As relative newbies to the world of “gym life” after the age of 55, my husband and I embarked on this adventure in January 2024. Dustin (owner) and Sarah (our personal trainer) took the time to understand our fitness goals and tailored a program specifically for us. Sarah’s knowledge and encouragement has pushed us to achieve more than we thought possible. In the short 3-month period we have both noticed improvements in our strength, balance and endurance (even our clothes fit better). We both look forward to our sessions on Tuesday and Thursday and feel comfortable and confident in our gym, our training plan, and personal trainer. Overall, the experience has surpassed our expectations. We plan to continue our fitness journey with them as we work to become stronger and fitter. If you're looking for a gym that cares about your success and a personal trainer who will support you every step of the way, look no further. While we joke with Sarah, that “there is no change in the comfort zone”, Positive Movement Fitness is in fact a very comfortable environment. Victoria and Stuart

Fantastic experience: I have started small group fitness with Jacob! It has been a fantastic experience. Better than I could have ever hoped. He is patient, kind, works with my injuries and so positive! I highly recommend him! I already feel stronger and more confident! Thank you so much Jacob! I appreciate everything you are doing to help make me stronger and healthier!

Fantastic experience: I’m just new to Positive Movement after moving to Kanata a year ago. I did have a personal trainer in Stittsville, where I lived, for many years. I was a bit hesitant in joining another gym but decided to take the plunge (and not a cold plunge). I look forward to going to the gym twice a week with Sarah as my trainer. She is excellent and I enjoy our hour together. She makes sure every rep is done correctly and gives me her full attention for the hour. I like this gym as they do have older clients like myself as well as young ones. Dustin, the owner, is very personable and makes you feel welcomed. It’s a great place and I would highly recommend it. Don’t wait, exercise is the best way to stay healthy and young at heart. Fitness is an investment in your health, as someone once told me. Try it out! Pam Norris

Fantastic experience: What a great way to start the weekend! A five o'clock class with a knowledgeable trainer, friendly participants and a safe environment. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: Pleasant, knowledgeable, and friendly staff. Clean, tidy and well equipped place.

Fantastic experience: The personal training provided is much more than than what I expected. I had anticipated weight training but ended up very pleased with and benefited from the other aspects, including balance and agility. Really appreciate Jacob for all the guidance provided.

Fantastic experience: Dustin and Jacob are awesome. I am very impressed with my trainer Jacob. He puts a lot of effort in designing my workouts. The whole team at this gym is very capable and caring.This is not your typical bro gym. They mainly cater to people over 40. The facility is super clean and very well designed. The flow of training sessions is great as they limit the number of clients training at the same time. Five star experience for me all the way. I highly recommend them.

Fantastic experience: Joining Positive Movement Fitness has been an incredible experience. Dustin and team are very supportive, accommodating, and welcoming. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Im at 6 months in at 2X a week and still loving it. Great place - positive atmosphere and fabulous trainer (Jacob).

Fantastic experience: Their small group fitness class is a true game-changer for anyone who has been out of the fitness loop. As someone who has long neglected physical activity, I was initially apprehensive. However, the warm and welcoming atmosphere they created immediately put me at ease. Dustin, the founder, combines expertise with genuine encouragement, making each session both challenging and achievable. Trainer Sarah's tailored guidance helps you push your limits while ensuring you are comfortable and safe. Their classes are not just workouts; they are a boost of motivation and a supportive community. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to reignite their fitness journey!

Fantastic experience: Joining Positive Movement Fitness has truly been a life-changing experience for me. From the meticulous guidance of Dustin to the incredible A12 program and personalized training sessions with Jacob, every aspect of my fitness journey has been exceptional! Dustin's attention to detail and extensive knowledge set the stage for a transformative experience from day one. The A12 program, a group workout under expert guidance, is nothing short of amazing. In just 12 weeks, I've witnessed a remarkable transformation – shedding an incredible 35 pounds and gaining strength and happiness that I never thought possible! What sets Positive Movement apart is not only the physical results but also the positive and motivating environment created by Dustin and Jacob. Dustin's infectious passion for health and fitness radiates in every session, making each workout not only effective but also enjoyable. After completing the A12 program, I had the pleasure of working with Jacob as my personal trainer. His expertise shines through in every session, and his ability to communicate complex concepts in an understandable way sets him apart. Jacob's personalized approach has been key to my progress, leaving me feeling not just physically stronger but also mentally revitalized. I can't recommend Positive Movement enough to anyone seeking a comprehensive, effective, and enjoyable fitness program. Thank you, Dustin and Jacob, for helping me reach my goals!

Fantastic experience: I had the privilege of working with Dustin this fall. He's extremely knowledgeable, supportive, motivating, and a complete pleasure to work with. He's very passionate about working with 40+ and it's so refreshing to find a trainer with that mindset. I learned a lot from him and can't wait to work with him again. And, as an extra bonus, he loves music and will even play your favourite music for you if he can (even if it's not a genre he normally listens too). Dustin is a total delight in all ways and I highly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: Joining Positive Movement has been a transformative experience in my fitness journey. The gym is not only equipped with the latest facilities, maintained impeccably, and boasts a friendly atmosphere, but it also offers a unique and highly effective 12-week program, known as the A12 program, under the exceptional guidance of Dusty, our gym instructor :). I am doing the A12 program second time because it is very addictive. :) I have improved not only my physical health but my mental health as well following these sessions. Dusty's expertise and personalized approach to training are evident in the A12 program, designed for both weight loss and muscle gain. This program stands out due to its detailed food instructions and customization. Utilizing software that's trained on an extensive array of data, it takes into account individual factors like sex, age, and initial fitness status. Each session is tailored, with exercise goals dynamically adjusted based on the success of the previous session. What makes the A12 program particularly effective is its structure in small groups of only 4 people. This setting allows Dusty to provide focused attention to each participant. His positive attitude and skill in motivating members make even the most challenging workouts manageable and enjoyable. Witnessing everyone in the group striving towards their goals is incredibly inspiring and fosters a sense of camaraderie and mutual support. Beyond the A12 program, the gym offers a diverse range of classes, catering to various fitness levels and preferences. Positive Movement is more than a gym; it's a hub for positive transformation. If you're looking to embark on or continue your fitness journey with an outstanding instructor like Dusty and a unique, data-driven program like A12, Positive Movement is the perfect place for you.

Fantastic experience: Dustin is a great personal trainer. Very motivating and knowledgeable. I did the A12 express and it was a fantastic program with great results. He also trained my teenage son and it was a very good experience.

Fantastic experience: I just completed the A12 express program with awesome results. I can’t thank Dustin enough for keeping me going. His knowledge and approach to fitness coaching makes it fun, rewarding while still challenging!

Fantastic experience: Dustin and Jacob are professional and talented.

Fantastic experience: Dustin is incredible! He’s not only extremely knowledgable about physical fitness but also about nutrition, he really focuses on improving overall health. He cares deeply about his clients and is invested in their success. I would definitely recommend stopping in to meet him and checking out his beautiful new gym!

Fantastic experience: I've been fortunate enough to have worked out with Dustin over the years. His vast knowledge and patience as an instructor has been incredible in my own personal weight loss journey. He has a ton of knowledge with helping the remote life workers be active and provides a ton of stretches that I can do while working. The gym is super nice and it's a fun upbeat environment. 10/10

Fantastic experience: Positive Movement Fitness stood out from the rest because you can see the passion and dedication from the owner put into his business by the way he treats his clients. He is very professional and knowledgeable and you can see the staff is treated well, which is important for me as a client. I get bored easily with traditional workouts and my personal trainer Jacob makes the sessions varied to keep me engaged and leaving each session feeling stronger than the last. I recommended this place to a close friend who feels the same and I won’t hesitate to let others know as well.

Fantastic experience: I have been working out regularly at Positive Movement Fitness since the start of July. I have only good things to say about my experience. The workouts are challenging, fun, and certainly effective as I've gotten quite a bit stronger. Most importantly, they are highly personalized to my goals and adapted for any injuries or limitations. Jacob is extremely knowledgeable and detail-oriented, and has been awesome to work with from day one. No mansplaining or irritating "gym bro" attitude -- he's super approachable yet professional. The gym itself is always clean and inviting, and they have loads of different strength training equipment. Since it's a personal training gym only, it's nice and calm when you go in and you always have lots of room for your workout -- no need to fight anyone for space. The owner Dustin is very dynamic and will work with you to make sure you're happy. A nice little hidden gem!

Fantastic experience: If you’re looking for personal training that caters specifically to the ages 40 & over with a focus on proper technique, flexibility, strength and endurance, I highly recommend Dustin Beach & Positive Movement Fitness. My husband and I are in our 60’s with a fair amount of experience with CrossFit, Boot Camp and personal trainers. We have both been extremely impressed with Dustin’s knowledge of how one’s body is supposed to move, his ability to address our individual challenges and his friendly, relaxed and supportive attitude. His workouts are well paced, varied and challenging. They provide a full body workout while always being fun.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been at this gym for 5 months now and my wife has now joined me for training with Jacob. This is the first gym I felt they actually cared about my fitness. The confidence Jacob brings with his professional training is a real motivator for me. My wife is a physiotherapist and is impressed with the knowledge and dedication both Jacob and Dustin bring to our workouts. In our 60’s this is best present we could have given ourselves. We are feeling really good about our progress so far and plan to continue to reach our goals of a fit retirement without the limitations the creeping aches and pains bring!

Fantastic experience: I’ve lived most of my life thinking I was in decent shape and that I could manage on my own. One day, a friend of mine invited me to join in on one of Dustin’s classes, and before it was over, I was hooked! I was shown that with proper guidance, dedication and training, there was so much more potential to be unlocked. I now attend twice a week for Small Group Fitness, once a week for Personal Training. These sessions are the bright spots of my week. I wake up with more energy, my movements at work have become much safer and more efficient, and aches/pains I’ve had for years have started to dissipate. I truly believe that the time and money spent at Positive Movement Fitness are both a direct investment to my future in helping me live a long, healthy and useful life. I would highly recommend anyone interested, or even curious, in making fitness a goal to stop in and give Positive Movement Fitness a try! Thank you for everything Dustin!

Fantastic experience: Dustin and team are completely changing my perception of a "gym". Their experience and personal attention is showing results for me barely 3 weeks in.

Fantastic experience: Very professional and knowledgeable. Helped me with ankle pain and was able to determine the cause, as well as provide me with exercises/movements to improve. Very friendly as well

Fantastic experience: I lost close to 20lbs. Dusty is an awesome coach and will make sure you’re on the path to success.

Fantastic experience: I just completed the A12 express under Dustin’s guidance seeing results bringing me back to pre kid status! Significant weight loss (~25lb), exceptional strength gain and I learned a lot about nutrition all in 12 weeks. Dustin was great and very supportive answering all questions, keeping my form on point and giving me the boost when I needed it. Positive Movement was a great experience and I will continue with group classes now that I finished the program.

Fantastic experience: If this isn’t your gym- it should be. Dustin really understands the fundamentals that most trainers miss. He looks at your health and fitness goals from a holistic perspective. Everything from strength training & conditioning, to breath work, injury rehab and functional movement patterns. He’s kind, and incredibly knowledgeable, but most importantly he’s amazing at what he does. Dustin really cares about people and it shows. I’d recommend him 10000x over, without any hesitation. Join the movement!!

Fantastic experience: The small group full body classes are awesome! I have really seen a difference in my strength and mobility and I feel great! The difference is really showing at pickleball, golf and running. I am not needing my chiro appointments as regularly; and I am well on my way to attaining my goal of looking great for my son's wedding in August!

Fantastic experience: Joining Positive Movement Fitness has been a life changing experience for me. Both Dustin and Lakshay not only motivate me but also patiently explain the reasoning behind all the exercises. Dustin is one of the most knowledgeable people about fitness and he patiently helped me to start off on my fitness journey. Thanks Dustin and Lakshay :)

Fantastic experience: My goals for joining the A12 Express program at Positive Movement Fitness with Dustin were to lose my post-pregnancy weight, increase my energy and to improve my strength/speed while playing competitive badminton and recreational tennis. Thanks to Dustin's positive encouragement during the intense 12 week progam, I am the strongest now than I have ever been. Dustin's inspiring words gave me the motivation to push myself to the limits. He was there to correct my weight lifting techniques and to make sure I did not injure myself. At the end of the program, the weight on the scale started decreasing for the first time in 10 years and I lost 3.5 inches off my waist. My badminton friends were able to notice my increased strength when playing and were asking me what I did to look so great! I tell my friends that I have taken up strength training with Dustin at Positive Movement Fitness. Now that the A12 program is done, I have signed up for a yearly membership to maintain the gains I have made. I would recommend Positive Movement Fitness for many reasons: the gym is clean, up to date, I get a lot of individual attention when doing the small classes, I feel a sense of community when working out as I bump into many like minded friendly people and most importantly Dustin is there to encourage me to reach my potential.

Fantastic experience: We have been attending Positive Movement Fitness since mid-March 2023. We have found it to be very clean, and welcoming to everyone. Our Personal Trainer is Lakshay Sharma. Lakshay is very knowledgeable and encouraging - pushing us to our limits without injury. The "without injury" is very important as more mature clients. We have been able to improve our fitness level rapidly with his personalized guidance. We are at different fitness levels, and Lakshay adapts the individual exercises for each of us. Lakshay is very meticulous in his approach to our workouts - we feel "safe" with him knowing that he is watching and ready to correct our form to help us progess faster and avoid injury. We know he spends time planning what our next adventure in the the studio will be. We leave our workout with that good feeling of having pushed ourselves effectively. Shout out to Dustin Beach for offering such a positive and mentoring space for all! And a big shout of appreciation for Lakshay! Jane and Virginia

Fantastic experience: Dustin's dedication and knowledge help me to move better, and I am getting my life back after pandemic stagnation. I'm feeling so much better.

Fantastic experience: Great place to work out. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Dustin Beach as a personal trainer, he has helped me tremendously, he is very knowledgeable,keeps track of my progress, very positive, he wants to help me achieve my goals, I have lost weight every week and have gotten stronger, my one hour sessions with him flys by, and I can’t wait to start my next session with him

Fantastic experience: Since day one, I have received excellent posture correction and constant form checks at Positive Movement Fitness. Prior to joining this gym, I had tried different gyms like GoodLife, Planet Fitness, and community gyms, and I thought I knew how to perform exercises and use the machines correctly. However, at Positive Movement Fitness, I realized that I had been targeting the wrong muscles or compensating instead of effectively exercising and utilizing the exercises to my advantage. I have been attending Positive Movement Fitness for a month and a half now, and I must say that Dustin, the coach, possesses extensive knowledge in coaching and ensures that you target the correct muscles for each exercise. When I started, my Vo2 max was below average, and I would quickly run out of breath. However, thanks to the guidance and training here, my Vo2 max has improved to slightly above average. Additionally, I now have more energy throughout the day and don't get short of breath as easily. I highly recommend anyone to come and try out Positive Movement Fitness. The knowledge and improvement I have witnessed here surpass what I achieved in four to five months at other gyms, even with a personal trainer.

Fantastic experience: Dusty is passionate about fitness. He genuinely wants to make you a stronger, fitter you. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: After being in the most un-fit shape of my life in January 2021, I began running. After running for a length of time I felt I just needed more and along came the A12 program with Dustin and his great new fitness center, Positive Movement Fitness. I signed up for the A12 program and haven't regretted it. Dustin is a great encourager, mentor and truly is an inspiration. His positive attitude, wealth of knowledge and his passion for what he does shows in every aspect of his training. I especially love that Dustin is about the entire picture of health from rest to nutrition to working out.

Fantastic experience: Dustin is amazing! He showed me how to customize the workout for my needs taking into account injuries. The gym is beautiful, clean, and well-organized. It's great to have a gym in the neighbourhood close enough to walk to.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym! Dustin is incredibly knowledgeable, supportive and creates a fun and non-judgmental environment in which to train in. Highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: I’m just a woman who has gone through a pandemic, like everyone else in the world. As a result, I stopped exercising regularly. I’m sure this is the case for a lot of other people. As a professional, Dusty recognizes that and is very understanding and does not judge. He is incredibly knowledgeable about different types of exercising and you can tell he really loves to share what he knows. My sister has been training with Dusty for a few years now, and I have only heard good things about their time together. He always told her that I was welcome to come workout with him. I immediately felt comfortable with Dusty, and he didn’t make me feel bad because I hadn’t exercised regularly for a while. I have an old knee injury and told Dusty about it, he immediately came up with a different exercise as well as a movement that I could easily do at home to help make it better. His positivity radiates throughout the gym and in turn, motivates me. He is dedicated to getting you to set goals and achieve them. When I was at my peak of exercising years ago, I was intimidated by lifting, so I never pursued it. Dusty has encouraged me and I’m lifting more than I ever thought I would and more importantly, I’m actually enjoying it. I like feeling strong and powerful, and he really has the ability to get you there. I really value the patience Dusty has when he’s working with me. If I have any questions, he will always take his time to answer them. If I ask him to show me how to do an exercise or a movement after he’s already shown me, he will not hesitate to do so. If I’m not doing an exercise or movement properly, he will correct it immediately. What I like about Dusty is that he doesn’t make you feel stupid for not getting it right. When he is watching you do your workout, he makes sure you’re doing everything right, so you can get the most out of what he is teaching you. Dusty is positive, passionate, and patient. He is kind, understanding, and has a great sense of humor. I have fun when I’m working out in Dusty’s gym. If you are thinking about joining a class or doing personal training, don’t hesitate, it’s a great environment and you will have a good time. As I said before, I’m just a woman who went through a pandemic, like everyone else in the world. There are silver linings everywhere and Positive Movement Fitness just happens to be one of them.

Fantastic experience: I started training at Positive Movment Fitness March 1. I am extremely happy so far. Dustin cares about his clients and get results. I highly recommend this facility.

Fantastic experience: If you want a change, positive change, this is the place to be. I had a chance to work with Dusty and he is more than just a trainer. He is patient, take his time and extremely knowledgeable on the physics of the body, metabolism, nutrition and even got advised on sleep. I highly recommend this place.

Fantastic experience: You think you don't need a nutrition consult? Stop right there!!!! I'm a 24y/o athlete who can confidently track macros and I got the nutrition consult with Sarah Boyd as my bday gift this year. When I tell you that CHANGED THE GAME for me! On top of customized macro ratios, I received info I didn't even know had anything to do with nutrition but now I genuinely can't live without: 1) I learned that my body performs best eating protein+fats PRE workout and eating carbs POST, previously I was doing the inverse. From doing this for 2 months now I have noticed less energy crashes during long runs, a happier tummy during Pilates and no longer feel destroyed (and sleepy) after my morning workouts. 2) I had not heard of neurotyping before this session, but from this I learned how dopamine dependent I am and now being able to recognize it I found alternate ways to increase my dopamine that aren't spending all my money online shopping. If you've read the review this far, book with Sarah! She's an icon, she's a legend, she is the moment. No but actually, what are you waiting for??

Fantastic experience: Great place to train, Dustin is a knowledgeable trainer who cares about not only about your results but making sure you are enjoying your workouts. He has a solid understanding of the mechanics of the body and his prices are very good considering his base of knowledge.

Fantastic experience: What used to be a corner store is now a fitness centre! So instead of getting midnight munches I'm doing ab crunches! Dustin is great and very friendly and knowledgeable and really caters to each person's abilities and needs. So far really enjoying it and feeling very motivated

Fantastic experience: Great facility and Dustin is the best!

Fantastic experience: Best personal trainer in Kanata. I have been working out with Dustin for 6 months and I can say that I have never felt so in control about my fitness before.His approach to fitness is very holistic. He coaches you to take a full control of your fitness including nutrition, sleep and stress. I always look forward to my workout sessions with Dustin every week!

Fantastic experience: Dustin really knows his stuff concerning all parts of the body and what makes it work .....he allows you to work at your pace and you do see results .....he's really good at what he does and is a believer in his product ......Ron

Fantastic experience: Where to even begin!!!! Dusty is an amazing personal trainer! I had the opportunity to work with him at GoodLife. He provided me with an abundance of information and knowledge not only to help me with my fitness game but to also help me with my nutrition along with my many medical condition that affected my gastro system. He is the most uplifting person I have ever met and is the best at getting you up and moving. Always has something motivational to keep you going!!!!! I highly recommend this place!!!!

Fantastic experience: It has been a great experience training with Dustin for the past 6 months! His knowledge, assurance and positivity has helped me work through my lower back pain and start lifting again. Every workout has been curated to target my goals, and there is never a dull moment! Dustin provides a holistic approach to training and achieving a healthy lifestyle. I feel physically and mentally stronger from his training and would recommend him to anyone who wants to start or get back into a healthy lifestyle!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Dustin if you are looking for a personal fitness trainer! He is incredibly knowledgeable and skilled in helping me reach my fitness goals. He designs personalized workout plans that are challenging and effective, and he is always available to provide guidance and support. He is also very professional and easy to work with. I have seen great results in terms of being able to lift heavier in a short amount of time thanks to his expertise. 5 stars!"

Fantastic experience: I have been going to positive movement for the last 5 months and couldn’t be happier with my results. Dustin takes the time and is patient to bring your goals to life and partners with you on the journey. I had big goals of weight loss and hit milestones early with his high quality personal training. Nutrition is a big part of hitting weight loss goals and Dustin holds you accountable and provides key insights to help you overcome any nutrition obstacles. When people close to me ask why I look different I let them know about Positive Movement and Dustin!!! Can’t wait for the new location. Kanata needs this!

Fantastic experience: This past year, I’ve had the pleasure of working with coach Dustin at Positive Movement Fitness and have to say that it has been an amazing experience. Not only is Dusty knowledgeable and experienced, but he also has a great way of motivating and encouraging me throughout my sessions. With my bad back and knee issues, he tailors each workout to my needs and abilities, and he is always willing to answer any questions I have. He also provides lots of valuable advice and tips on how to best reach my goals. I highly recommend Positive Movement Fitness to anyone looking for a personal trainer - he truly is the best.

Fantastic experience: I first started working out with Dusty in October 2019. It was what I expected it would be until it was so much more. Dusty’s knowledge is vast but what makes him unique and stand out in the world of fitness is his hunger to keep learning. My fitness journey has been a roller coaster, especially since Covid started but Dusty is always there with a listening ear and a strong shoulder to literally cry on. If you’re nervous about starting a fitness journey, Dusty is the right fit for you. He’s kind, caring, understanding, and invested in your success. Your goals become his goals and the support is unwavering. Dusty has a holistic approach when it comes to health. He cares about sleep, stress, nutrition, happiness as well as fitness. It feels a lot more accessible and realistic than how other trainers would approach health. Whether you want to lose weight, lift heavy, start running, do cross fit, or have more energy to live your best life, Dusty is right there to help you achieve those goals. With his never ending arsenal of exercises and challenges, you’ll never be bored. Dusty is a fantastic trainer, but he is unmatched when it comes to the level of care and dedication he has for his clients. I recommend Positive Movement Co if you want to change your life.

Fantastic experience: My daughter gifted me with 12 sessions with Dustin Beach of Positive Movement Fitness. To be honest I was not thrilled as I have never “worked out” and at 72 years old, never wanted to. My first session was mostly fact finding on my fitness level. It went fast because truthfully, there was no level. Dustin was knowledgeable, patient, and won me over to doing my best. Every week I notice my strength and breathing improve. Dustin is an exceptional young man who knows his business. If he can motivate me....well you know the rest.

Fantastic experience: Dustin works hard to ensure that I receive the workout I need to achieve my goals. While training to hike up mountains, he went above and beyond to ensure that I hiked safely.

Fantastic experience: Dustin is the best trainer you could ask for! He is patient, super knowledgeable and knows how to push you to the point where you impress yourself :) After two kids, there is no way I’d be in shape right now if it weren’t for him, and for that I’m eternally grateful!

Fantastic experience: I have been working out with Dustin for almost three now and the results have been amazing! I have lost a total of 25lbs, but more importantly for me I have gained a ton of muscle, transforming my body and surpassing many of my goals. I found Dustin’s approach for me, was to treat me as an individual and to create a tailored program for my specific needs, wants and goals. I believe Dustin is great to have as a coach and trainer for many reasons. He has a growth mindset staying current on everything health and fitness; is passionate, accountable, non-judgmental and is a great motivator. I highly recommend Dustin as a trainer and coach!

Fantastic experience: Dustin is the best! Pushed me to my limit. Felt great after every session. You won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: As a person who retired two weeks before COVID hit and who subsequently became a professional couch potato for 16 months, I have been absolutely delighted to have had the privilege of training with Dustin. He manages to strike that perfect balance between "compassionate coach" and "drill sergeant" that not only keeps me coming back, but makes me look forward to coming back, week after week! I find his gym and equipment to be first rate, and he has a seemingly bottomless well of exercise routines, some of which are entirely diabolical, but accordingly quite effective. He has also worked with me to improve my nutritional habits, establish weight loss goals and measure/track progress. I have had some serious knee and back issues in the recent past, and Dustin has been excellent in tailoring our workouts to be mindful of those injuries, while working to help overcome them. Most impressively, he has been coordinating with my chiropractor and massage therapist to make sure that they are all working in concert. In that regard, Dustin is truly part of the "care team" that keeps me moving! I've only been working with Dustin since late June of 2021, but I've already lost 25 pounds (my tuxedo hasn't fit this well in a decade!), I have a lot more energy, and am making steady gains in terms of strength and flexibility. Training with Dustin has literally been a life changer (really!) and I would unreservedly recommend him to anyone.

Fantastic experience: I've been working out with Dustin for over a year and highly recommend him as a trainer. I've never had a trainer before and was hesitant to try it out but he's an awesome teacher and his gym has been a really comfortable environment to learn in. I love how flexible his programming is — he's always willing to adapt sessions based on your interests, energy levels, and needs. I've seen measurable gains in strength and endurance and also just really enjoy having such a positive force in my life. He's always sharing insights from training programs and fitness books too, which makes the sessions valuable on many levels.

Fantastic experience: Dustin is a great trainer! I am impressed with the variety he brings to each workout. I really enjoy each session and I am energized for the day ahead. I would definitely recommend Dustin to anyone looking for personal training.

Fantastic experience: There aren't enough good things I can say about Dustin. He's an excellent fitness coach in every aspect. He introduced me to strength training, which was a game changer - you don't realize how strong and fit you can be until you start lifting weights. He's very knowledgeable about how the body works and takes time to make sure you know how to do each move correctly and safely. He always works with you on your fitness goals and makes sure that they are sustainable, challenging and rewarding. He is very attentive and always listens to his clients feedback so that they can get the most out of a workout. He's helped me develop a very healthy relationship with food and stay on track, without being drastic. Most importantly, he makes every session fun and something to look forward to!

Fantastic experience: I love training with Dustin at Positive Movement! His approach to training is tailored to my lifestyle and my fitness goals. Tangible results and increased energy mean that I not only continue to push my training limits, but also that I am able to enjoy more active pursuits in my daily life. Dustin takes the time to learn about each client to determine what will be the best approach for them. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: As a fellow Fitness Professional I have been impressed by Dustin’s wide scope of knowledge about wellness. He continues to motivate and guide myself and those around him to keep setting and achieving higher reaching goals. I will keep choosing him as my own life and conditioning coach as well as recommending him to my own clients, friends and family!

Fantastic experience: Dustin has been working with my hubby and me for all of covid while the gyms have been closed. He converted his home garage into an awesome gym. It’s been a tough job to get us off the couch and away from Netflix but Dustin has been up to the challenge! He’s passionate about fitness and health and he’s always taking courses to further his education. We’ve worked out with Dustin virtually, in person and outside (depending on covid restrictions at that time and our own comfort level). What impresses me so much is his ability to tailor and fine tune his workouts for us each week. Whether we’re injured, grumpy or just not feeling it, he’s always there to understand and encourage us. If you’re ready to make a change, Dustin can help you get there.
