Breakdown Fitness

Fantastic experience: Great spot great people

Fantastic experience: What I really like is that it's completely one-on-one in the gym. I found going to the bigger gym chains slightly intimidating but with Jensen, Alex, and team - it's a really nice environment with clear workout plans, clear instructions, and they're always contactable if I need to change times/days for sessions. Highly recommend!! Especially for anybody starting out on a fitness regimen who might be new to strength training. There's a strong emphasis on keeping proper form when exercising and lifting weights. Also, great accessible locations in the city!

Fantastic experience: I am a MD who has been struggling with mobility issues when I met Alex. I had seen a number of health professionals but was at an impasse and I knew I would need help with strength and conditioning. I made little progress with the trainers I had previously seen, but all that changed with Alex. He is very observant , focused and beyond that had a big picture understanding of what was keeping me stuck. He helped me shift my mindset and that made all the difference! Alex is an exceptional trainer and it is his awareness and keen interest in the client coupled with the attention to detail that makes all the difference.

Fantastic experience: Breakdown fitness is simply incredible. Alex is professional and friendly. He knows how to make working out challenging yet fun. Breakdown fitness has introduced me to an inclusive community and I always look forward to pushing my limits.

Fantastic experience: Alex does a fantastic job of meeting you wherever you are in your fitness journey. He continuously provides dynamic programs which he delivers with energy and enthusiasm. Alex equipped me with the skills and confidence to train using weights I never thought I could handle, this has greatly improved my overall strength. I highly recommend training with Alex if you are looking for challenging and effective workouts.

Fantastic experience: At Breakdown Fitness, Alex provides an exceptional environment to workout in. Despite many years of going to the gym, I still get great pointers in his sessions that improve my form and lead to better workouts, both at Breakdown Fitness and on my own. Alex is also an approachable instructor, providing a comfortable environment in which to express your fitness goals and to create customized workouts. I highly recommend Alex as a trainer to help you achieve your personal fitness goals, whatever they may be.

Fantastic experience: Breakdown fitness is a gem in the St. Lawrence market neighbourhood. Clean and well-equipped space for everything you would need for personal workouts. Alex's training is innovative and customized regarding my goals. I am pleased I found his studio and started to work out again after almost two long COVID years. It was hard for me in the first two weeks; I was sore everywhere, but now it's the 2nd month, and I already feel stronger!!! Highly recommend!!!!!

Fantastic experience: From the get go, Alex was able to simplify the process and made the goals we set out something attainable. He is very knowledgeable and it has been great working with him. I had previously been doing various other fitness classes and while they were great, after years I still wasn't getting the results I wanted, in just a few months with Alex I have been able to not only see but also feel significantly different, more energy and motivated to keep getting better. Thanks to his guidance I know I'll be able to reach my fitness and nutrition goals.

Fantastic experience: I came to Alex January 2021 after suffering from chronic back pain for over three years. I went to physiotherapists and chiropractors who could not solve the problem. In under 6 months of training, Alex helped me completely resolve the issue. Alex is an amazing trainer who is very knowledgeable, professional and just plain fun to work out with. I'm now a 32 year old accountant in the best shape of his life and free of back pain. I highly recommend Alex to anyone!

Fantastic experience: Alex is an incredible trainer and an all around great person. He's approachable and is a fantastic instructor. He knows how to push someone and is responsive. I have a bad back and he will not hesitate to offer modifications wherever possible while making sure I'm still being motivated to succeed. I've been attending small group classes with my 2 best friends and have had nothing but positive experiences. I can't recommend him enough!

Fantastic experience: Alex and Tyler are excellent at explaining each exercise clearly and making sure the group executes them properly for maximum efficiency. I am currently taking their online class and do not regret it. In addition to great exercise routines that keeps my body guessing, Alex is helping me understand what eating for my goals means and requires. After a few weeks of applying this new knowledge, I am seeing some steady results. I strongly recommend anyone who wants to stay/get in shape join Breakdown Fitness.

Fantastic experience: Perfect boutique workout space. Breakdown Fitness offers a very knowledgeable and personalized approach to helping you reach your fitness goals. Handy location too!

Fantastic experience: I've had the pleasure of working with Alex in real life, as well as in his online training programs (which I'm currently taking). He's knowledgeable, attentive and someone who will push you to work hard! The workouts are always challenging, but you get a good sweat and feel great after every time. He's created a safe space and community for his clients to be themselves as well as support others. I highly recommend training with him - he's not afraid to show tough love, but at the end of the day, it's all love and he's doing the best he can to help his clients reach their goals!

Fantastic experience: Alex helped me from the beginning with my Personal Fitness. He is understanding, patient, and above all, he is knowledgeable. He understands everyone's needs and wants vary from client to client. With this being said he designed a system that worked with my body and goals. I would recommend Breakdown Fitness to anyone, of all fitness levels and ages!

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Alex for the last couple of years and was so excited to hear that he would be opening up his own studio. He strikes the right balance between pushing his clients while making fitness fun. I love the variety of his sessions and his new space is great for in-person workouts.

Fantastic experience: Alex has a very diverse background of fitness experience. No BS kind of guy, great trainer! Does a great job catering to your needs. Also very affordable prices. Would recommend.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to the Breakdown Fitness bootcamps for weeks now. Alex and Tyler are great trainers and really focus on making their 45 minute workouts as efficient as possible while still maintaining a fun environment. They make an effort to learn everyone’s names and to understand everyone’s unique fitness goals. They’re welcoming, professional and knowledgeable. I have seen a significant improvement in my strength and cardio since working out with Breakdown Fitness! Would definitely recommend! p.s. they’re also Covid safe, setting a limit to each class and cleaning down all equipment after each use!

Fantastic experience: Alex is one of the most knowledgeable trainers that I’ve worked with. He approaches fitness in a scientific manner and helps you adapt a healthy lifestyle even outside of physical training. His 1-1 sessions are tailor-made to suit your goals and levels of fitness and includes a diet plan that isn’t too strict. His training routines combined with a healthy lifestyle have produced consistent results for me and I’m super happy about it. I highly recommend him for beginners who are finding it hard to adapt a healthy lifestyle and want to do something that is sustainable and long-term.

Fantastic experience: I initially started training with Alex at Breakdown Fitness for a few pointers, having had experience with a trainer before. After the first few sessions, I found his insight so helpful that I kept coming back. Alex and his team have a great understanding of an individuals strengths and weaknesses, and tailor their services to help clients meet their goals.
