Viala Training

Positive experience: Attended one KB class as a drop in. Good instruction and small but clean facility. The workout itself was very low intensity and encouraged to go light weight. Too slow for me The owner is friendly and welcoming

Fantastic experience: 10/10 would recommend! I have been attending Viala Training for over a year and a half, doing both small group classes and some one on one training and both have been amazing! After losing 100lbs, I was looking to really push my body to try new things and boy did I find the place! The steel mace and kettlebell classes have been so great for me, I feel stronger and leaner than ever. Scott’s years (and years and years) of experience and knowledge truly shine. I love the vibe of the gym and everyone is so encouraging of one another. The gym itself is in a great location downtown and is full of top notch equipment. If you are looking for a gym that’s different from the rest (in all the best ways) you definitely need to check out Viala Training!

Fantastic experience: I started going to Steel mace and kettle bell classes with Scott last month. I have seen better physical improvement with his training than I have with any other work out program I’ve tried. Scott’s gym has a great atmosphere with small classes that allow for the perfect amount of one on one instruction when needed. Anyone who’s seriously considering training in any of his disciplines will highly benefit from the monthly unlimited group class plan!

Fantastic experience: Viala Training has been a game-changer for me in terms of accountability and reclaiming my fitness. Scott’s all about using maces and kettlebells, with the occasional mix of other equipment for functional training. As a dad of two trying to get my strength back, this is exactly what I was after. Scott’s great at pushing you just the right amount to help you hit your goals. If you're tired of the usual gym stuff and want to see some real progress, I’d definitely give Viala a shot.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I have been working with Scott for just over a year now. Through a combination of personal training and his small group classes, the changes we've seen, both in ourselves and in each other have been nothing short of remarkable. In addition to a better physique, we have both achieved a level of confidence that simply cannot be quantified.

His dedication is so inspiring, he's kind, and he knows how to motivate people to reach their full potential. The added bonus is that the workouts are unique, functional, and so much fun to do! He encourages consistency, each session is approachable and fitted to the person in front of him, and there's lots of laughter in the process. Thanks Scott.

Fantastic experience: Scott is second to none when it comes to his personal training or his group training classes. He and his staff are very knowledgeable and experienced and can help you achieve the exact goals you set for yourself. This place is highly recommended if your looking for a personal trainer.

Fantastic experience: I started working with Scott 5 years ago when I was looking to improve my posture, balance, and flexibility; I work in front of a computer, wasn't familiar with strength training at all, and needed an expert so I didn't hurt myself! One of the things I enjoy most about training with Scott is his attentiveness: he knows when to challenge me and when I'm pushing myself too hard, he encourages correct form and intentional movement above all else (quality over quantity/weight). The workouts are varied, unconventional, and effective too: not only has my posture, balance, and flexibility improved but I feel strong. What's more, I've actually come to enjoy working out, something I never thought I'd say!

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Scott for about 4 years now and have never felt stronger. I always enjoy how he comes up with new and different methods of kettlebell and steel mace training. I definitely recommend Scott if you are looking for a challenging and fun workout.

Fantastic experience: Hands down, the best trainer I've ever worked with. Scott is always fun to work out with, always challenges you, and believes in you. I've been working out for 20 years now, and have a long list of trainers I've worked with and training styles I've tried. Nothing leaves me in better shape, in less time, and having more fun than working out with Scott.

Fantastic experience: I have had the pleasure of training with scott for just over 2.5 years both privately and his classes.

You look forward to going to class you actually want to be there.His training is so different from anything else, your whole body muscle group is worked out i haven't had to do a sit-up since i started .There is a learning curve it is easy and at your pace. The gains are incredible you see it and feel it and that alone makes you want to come back.I highly recommend scott's classes no matter your fitness level.

Fantastic experience: I've been working out with Scott for over 3 years. He has transformed my life. I'd never worked with weights before, only cardio. Scott slowly and carefully introduced me to his techniques, and I found that I enjoyed the workout and his company. He is totally focused on his clients. He's very knowledgeable about diet, nutrition, and everything about keeping a healthy lifestyle. I look forward to all his workouts. They have been very beneficial to my health and wellbeing.

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Scott for 7 years. I recently turned 67 years old and I am the strongest I have ever been in the healthiest way possible. Strength, mobility and energy. With Scott you get a high level combination of skill, knowledge, awareness and passion and this combination shows up every-time you train with Scott.

Fantastic experience: Viala training isn't just a work out, it is training for life. Scott's unconventional training methods will help you build a strong foundation that will last. His knowledge and experise will allow you to build muscle in a safe and effective way. Scott has trained me through different phases of my life over the past 5 years including pregnancy which I have never felt stronger! He has helped me get physically stronger and make gains I never thought would have been possible. Scott sees the potential in everyone and you will not be disappointed if you give it a try!

Fantastic experience: My first time here, I chose a Kettlebell class. Scott was so incredibly knowledgable - thoroughly and clearly describing technique to make the moves safe and effective for an absolute burner of a class. Both beginners and advanced would fit right into this class and feel they received the exact right workout for them. Scott was helpful and mindful of each of us during the class, as well as motivating and encouraging. Class time flew by and I loved it. I was the perfect amount of sore for the next few days so I know I worked hard, exactly what I was looking for. I can't wait to see what else he has to offer in his great downtown studio. Which was very clean and organized I must say. Everyone knew what was going on - friendly, hardworking group!! Excellent vibes. Thanks Scott :)

Not only is Viala Training an unreal environment featuring a workout style unlike any other, Scott and his team are knowledgeable and always looking to improve themselves for the benefit of their clients.

Fantastic experience: I moved to Kelowna at the beginning of May this year and was trying out gyms, but I wasn’t finding myself excited to train. It wasn’t until I was recommended to Viala Training, by a friend, that I found a place that I feel comfortable and excited to go to. Scott is welcoming and helps you feel at ease. The environment is knowledgeable and friendly. I always look forward to going and I feel pushed and encouraged to train hard and do better!! I would 100% recommend coming to train with us!

Fantastic experience: As a small business owner and father going through a lot of stuff over the past two years in the lock downs etc, and basically not going to the gym or getting any exercise at all because of a lot of mental health issues that surrounded the pandemic, I finally contacted Scott and shared a bit what I was going through. He invited me to my first session and five minutes into it, I knew I was hooked! I truly loved every minute of it. I had never been apart of a group training class and had never worked with a steel mace. Blew me away to realize that this is type of training that I can jam with! Like I said, I am hooked and I believe that if you are a small business owner that is looking to be able to get in one hour each session in a group or via personal training, this place just helps get your mind right. It either helps you start your week off right or it helps you finish the week strong! Remember, this isn’t some gym membership where are you go in and do a little bit of this and a little bit of that, this is constant training to help you stay healthy and get stronger. I highly recommend it and can’t thank Scott enough for this opportunity!

Fantastic experience: I have trained with Scott for several years now and I cannot recommend him and Viala Training enough! He believes in his clients & his style of training with steel mace & kettle bells & equipment has changed the game for me.

His custom fitness plan was created specifically for me, and the excersizes in it are engaging, challenging, but so satisfyingly fun! Definitely going to continue working with the Viking in the months ahead as I've been blowing passed personal goals non-stop.
