Lean Strong Fitness & Wellness

Expérience fantastique: I joined Lean Strong Fitness about a month ago and I am really enjoying my time at the gym. The trainers are very knowledgeable and supportive. They implement a program that suits your needs, goals, and will address any physical issuss you may have going on or have had in the past. Everyone is friendly and seeing that the facility is a smaller one, it's easy to get to know one another, making your gym experience a bit more fun. I highly recommend this gym if you want a more personal kind of training, that's going to help you reach your goals faster and with support along the way.

Expérience positive: Interesting layout with carefully and comfortably timed access to equipment, Lean Strong Fitness re-introduced me to fitness and weight training in quite a stress-free environment.

Expérience fantastique: A very unique concept - a gym for seniors and almost-seniors! First-rate personal training, a welcoming, low-key vibe, definite sense of community.

Expérience fantastique: Lean Strong Fitness and Wellness really stands out! Their welcoming atmosphere, knowledgeable coaching staff, and supportive community create an ideal environment for achieving fitness goals. The gym is both comfortable and motivating which are key ingredients for long term success in any fitness journey.

Expérience fantastique: I have enjoyed going to Lean Strong Fitness. The coaches are alway very pleasant and helpful. And most of all they always make you feel great.

Expérience fantastique: This is such a good gym. The trainers are so conscientious and positive. I'm just getting started and they are always ready to answer my questions...not once, not twice but ad nauseum. I am not Inclined to a gym but as I age I believe it is importation to build my strength. They are more than helpful.

Expérience fantastique: I started at Lean Strong several years ago and took a break, but made my way back there and have stayed for almost two years now (this time bringing my spouse with me!). The coaching is great - it keeps you motivated and accountable. The team is really helpful and the small, individualized experience makes the gym really welcoming and comfortable. I have noticed improvements in sleep, endurance, and most importantly, more movement and less pain in my knees. The team is very goal oriented and understands our needs really well.

Expérience fantastique: Early days here but been a good experience thus far. Highly knowledgeable staff and a focus on strength training and body mechanics. Would recommend especially for those among us that have real needs around how to address strength training for the +50 set.

Expérience fantastique: Here are just a few of the many reasons I love being a member at Lean Strong Fitness (LSF) and enthusiastically recommend it to others: LSF’s philosophy is client focussed … individualized programs are developed for each member based on their fitness level, skills, and goals; through these personalized programs, which are updated regularly, we are encouraged and empowered to develop our skills and strengths both independently and through periodic training. Pam and Justin are skilled, focussed, caring, and insightful trainers who get to know each and every member and how we function best. LSF is well equipped and beautifully maintained, and the atmosphere is inviting, inclusive, and good natured. Justin, Pam and Leesha ensure everyone is welcomed, and they create and maintain a positive atmosphere, members of all ages and stages encourage each other, celebrate fitness milestones and motivate each other. I always feel better physically and psychologically after a session at LSF. I’ve learned to pace myself as well as push myself, have reached significant fitness milestones, and have enjoyed the challenge and camaraderie. Over three years, 250 visits, and countless programs I have always felt welcomed and challenged, have never felt bored and have never felt better!

Expérience fantastique: This gym is not like other gyms - there is no intimidation either from the coaches or from the other clients. There is no waiting for equipment either! The gym is clean and inviting. The coaches are experienced, friendly, knowledgeable, and fun. I work most often with Pam and Justin. I like how they always greet you by name like they are really glad to see you, introduce you to other clients, adjust the music and fans for utmost comfort, and are easy to talk to and available to help. I’ve been to other gyms over the years but this one is the best ❤️

Expérience fantastique: i was referred to LSF by a friend of mine 4 years ago. after dealing with 2 bulged disks in my lower back (L4 and L5) and multiple failed attempts to fix myself for about 15 years, i decided to pursue structured workouts at LSF. initially, i tried 2 days a week and have increased to 3. my progress has been from struggling to do body weight squats to deadlifting over 300 pounds. i feel great. my only regret is not starting sooner. Mark Curtis

Expérience fantastique: I was introduced to Lean Strong Fitness in 2019 and within 1 year became the fittest I had been in many years. Along with the shut down of March 2020 came changes in my fitness routine. I felt committed and focused with my effort, but as the years went on something seemed to be missing. I returned to Lean Strong Fitness this past Spring, and just celebrated 100 workouts. Thanks to the amazing staff and programs available I’m back to feeling as fit as I was a few short years ago. It is such a pleasure to work out at Lean Strong Fitness! Each visit starts with a friendly greeting from staff, a very organized set up, clean individual workout area and the most positive and supportive atmosphere that energizes me throughout my workout. Having a coach that looks after my program means that my individual goals and needs are met and I am safe as I progress. All Coaches are knowledgeable and supportive, they are always open to answer questions. Amazing ideas and options are shared for promoting healthy living in a variety of ways from workshops to conversations, to increase health benefits beyond your workout. At Lean Strong Fitness I feel individually supported for progress and success in a caring way that makes me excited for each new program. I

Expérience fantastique: I'm loving the customized, back-health-friendly health and fitness program offered to me by LSFit. I am overcoming mobility and stiffness issues associated with age and a diagnosed condition - thanks to the expert coaching by Pam and Justin. I am meeting wonderful people overcoming injury and similar challenges in a collegial setting at a price point well below having a personal trainer at a typical gym. I highly recommend LSFit to help you get on the path towards better health and fitness, in an atmosphere motivated to not only get you more healthy and fit, but also able to exercise safely on your own, using equipment and materials that are affordable and readily available to most at home or on the road. I can't say enough about how much better I feel about myself, having started this journey!

Expérience fantastique: Lean Strong is the best gym I have ever been to. I have paid for many and hardly went. As I was driving to the gym the other day I was excited because so knew my gym friends would be there to work out with. The coaches and the other members are my motivation for making every workout count. This is a gym where everybody encourages and inspires you to do stuff you never thought you could do. If you want a gym that supports, encourages and inspires you then Lean Strong is for you! It is a family not a gym!

Expérience fantastique: I joined Lean Strong Fitness because I wanted to ensure that I could keep doing the things I love to do for many, many more years to come. Pam really listened to me when I stated my goals and she designed a program of exercise specifically designed for me. The program changes as I become stronger and more flexible, always challenging me. I notice these improvements in my every day life as my endurance improves and some of my aches and pains disappear.

Expérience fantastique: I really can't say enough good about LSFW. The coaches are the most caring individuals I have ever met. I have had lots of gym memberships and this is the first one I actually use because I enjoy coming, seeing the people that are now friends, and getting results. I highly recommend LSFW if you care about your health but need a gentle kick in the butt to get and keep you accountable.

Expérience fantastique: So glad I found Lean Strong Fitness! I love this place! Right from my 1st session – the initial program developed for me was perfectly suited to my tricky lower back and challenged hips. They know what they’re doing! I could feel improvement within my first few sessions– my hips were stabilizing and getting stronger – I’m moving again! They personalize programs that suit me with my physical challenges. I find that working in this group setting, where everyone is working to his or her personalized programs, is VERY MOTIVATING! The Coaches are excellent - knowledgeable, attentive, and positive - always watching that I’m doing my exercises correctly and safely. Lean Strong’s format of booking sessions helps to keep me on track, and ensures no overcrowding. Their hours are great – from early morning to well into the evening – much appreciated with my busy schedule! Thank you, Lean Strong - Leesha, Justin and Pam!

Expérience fantastique: Lean Strong has amazing coaching staff who have supported me both physically and mentally through several physical challenges. This is the place to go if you need great fitness coaching in a warm and supportive environment.

Expérience fantastique: I joined Lean Strong a few years ago after being sick of dealing with chronic injuries and wanting to get active again. It has been a game changer for me! Lean Strong provides a great and cost-effective balance between independent workouts and personal coaching in strength training. I receive a new customized workout program each month, get personal coaching on proper exercise form, then am off to the races to work out on my own (though a coach is always around if I have questions/concerns). You sign up for training time slots in advance, get your own workout pod, and suitable equipment is always available (no fighting over equipment / waiting). The coaches and staff are friendly, knowledgeable and always providing extra information on wellness topics such as nutrition, sleep, injuries, etc through newsletters and sessions. The gym advertises as a space for people 50+ but I'm in my mid-30s and feel right at home here. Moral of the story is - Lean Strong is a great place to work out and you won't regret joining!

Expérience fantastique: I joined Lean Strong Fitness last month and have been so happy about my choice in gyms. I have been a member at other gyms in the past but Lean Strong Fitness stands out with their warm, friendly atmosphere. From day one I felt welcomed by the staff and the members. A personalized workout routine was created for me and I'm feeling stronger already, thanks to the support and encouragement from personal trainer Justin. My routine is adjusted periodically to add a bit of a challenge in order to help me progress. Justin monitors workouts for safety and helps make adjustments in technique when needed. I appreciate the layout of the space, where participants book their own pod to use for a workout session. There is a definite sense of community here, which makes coming to the gym a fun experience. It's great to share some laughs while we are sweating! It is motivating to be around other members and to share the experience of working hard to achieve our goals. If you are looking for a gym that will make you feel like going to the gym, then Lean Strong Fitness is for you!

Expérience fantastique: I joined Lean Strong Fitness a month and a half ago and have been very impressed by the experience. The staff are very welcoming and friendly and the space is bright and well organized. I have received an individually tailored program from my coach, Justin, who has been a great help in correcting my form, encouraging my progress, and making me laugh. I am looking forward to moving on to my second program this week.

Expérience fantastique: Lean Strong Fitness is a welcoming space catering to people who want the support of a trainer to guide them to ensure proper technique and programming appropriate to where they are at. The bright and spacious gym has 8 pods (complete with all the equipment you need) to which you reserve for one of the many time slots throughout the day. I highly recommend it to anyone who is unsure of how to get started, or is getting back into exercise and wants to make sure their "twenty year old brain" doesn't injure their "fifty year old body"!

Expérience fantastique: After some injuries and pain for 2.5 years I was quite reluctant to enter a new gym even though I really missed it. With personal workouts for everyone’s specific needs, attention to correct form, steady consistent progress and a warm welcome each time, I can honestly say that I have found my new gym. It doesn’t matter what fitness level you are at, they will have a place for you!! Try it, you will not regret-:)

Expérience fantastique: I am thrilled to share my experience with Lean Strong! After nearly 7 years of dealing with hip pain due to an injury, I am now 2 months into my training and have not experienced any pain hip since. The knowledgeable and supportive trainers have been instrumental in helping me on my journey to a healthier, stronger me. The atmosphere is always welcoming and motivating, and the equipment is top-notch. I never thought I would be able to work out pain-free again. I am excited to continue my fitness journey and highly recommend Lean Strong to anyone looking for a supportive and effective place to achieve their health goals. Thank you for helping me rediscover the joy of being active!

Expérience fantastique: I've been a member at Lean Strong for the last two years, alongside my wife, Jenn, and it's been nothing short of transformative. After my kidney transplant, I needed a gym that could support my recovery and help me rebuild my body safely and effectively. Lean Strong was exactly that place. The trainers here aren't just friendly; they're experts who understand how to incorporate balance and often neglected muscle groups, tailoring workouts that cater to the needs of an older demographic and beyond. Everyone, regardless of age, can benefit from their world-class training experience. If you're looking for a gym that offers knowledgeable staff and a supportive environment, Lean Strong is the place to be. I can't recommend them enough!

Expérience fantastique: Updated review: Since I joined LSF in mid March I have lost 35 lbs, 20 inches over my body, increased my strength and can walk up the stairs and quite a distance without getting winded. I am going to the gym 5 days a week and taking what I learn at LSF to do things the proper way. Justin is my trainer. He has a few others he trains at the same time but that man has eyes in the back of his head. If you don't think he's watching think again because this man sees everything and is very encouraging. When he sees that something is too easy or hard he modifies it Original review: I joined Lean Strong Fitness a month ago because I gained an incredible amount of weight after I quit smoking. Working with a personal trainer has transformed my fitness routine. I feel stronger and this is the best decision I have made. Justin is incredibly patient and knows my limits. I have progressed beyond what I thought I could do at my age.

Expérience fantastique: Right from the first time I stepped into this place, I liked the vibe. Justin my trainer, has the greatest sense of humor and awesome motivational skills. The environment is friendly and welcoming. I'm very impressed. Cindy Collins Still enjoying my time with Lsf. I have been going since the new year and am still enjoying it. My biggest learning has been realizing how this training has made a big difference with pain control. I take fewer pain meds and my balance is so much better. Thanks again Justin.

Expérience fantastique: Great group. I have worked so far with Justin, Pam, and Leesha and had a great experience. Highly recommend.

Expérience fantastique: Let's be honest...I don't like going to the gym. But this gym is unlike other gyms. Pam is my trainer and she is very patient with my ideosyncracies. She designs programs that work 75 year old me hard enough for strength building without injury. Considerate placement of fans ensure I don't overheat. As a bonus I have met my weight loss goals. But I continue to come. Don't want to be a decrepit senior and this gym is ensuring that is not happening. Give it a try! You may end up finding a health span...not a life span!!!

Expérience fantastique: I have been a member of Lean, Strong Fitness in Guelph, Ontario, for just over a month, and I wanted to share my positive experience. Along with overall fitness improvement goals, my primary reason for joining Lean, Strong Fitness was to address lower back pain, and Pam and Justin have demonstrated an incredible commitment to helping me overcome this challenge. Their personalized approach to fitness is evident, as they tailored a program specifically to strengthen my back and are constantly fine tuning the exercises as we go. All of the trainers here are knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely invested in the well-being of their members. The facility itself is well-equipped with like-new equipment, the atmosphere is welcoming and intimate, and the cleanliness and organization of the gym reflect a high standard of professionalism. However I think what sets Lean, Strong Fitness apart is both their personal approach and their emphasis on overall health - they understand that achieving fitness goals goes hand in hand with maintaining a balanced lifestyle, and that everyone has unique needs. I also very much appreciate how all of the staff continually strive to create a positive and inclusive community. I would highly recommend Lean, Strong Fitness to anyone in Guelph looking for a small, intimate gym atmosphere with personalized training that not only helps you achieve your fitness goals but also genuinely cares about your well-being. I'm excited to continue my fitness journey with the fantastic team.

Expérience fantastique: Lean Strong Fitness is more than a gym! I love the feeling I get from the moment I walk in the doors. I am noticed and I am welcome. I never feel overwhelmed because there is a personal trainer on the floor all the time.... guiding you, giving you feedback. The team at LSF actually care and are committed to you and your health journey. Justin my trainer is amazing, he has the perfect combination of attentiveness, motivation and caring. If you want to be part of a great wellness community than I strong suggest Lean Strong Fitness! ******************************* I am approaching my 1 year back at LSF and although I am not even close to my goal weight I can see a huge difference in my mental health, my sleep, my energy levels and my strength. I take way less antinflamitories and I feel great about myself. The comradery is amazing and I am thrilled to be living my best healthy life with LSF!!

Expérience fantastique: Everyone at LSF is great. This is the place to be if you are just starting your fitness journey or want to take your fitness to the next level.

Expérience fantastique: I have been coming to Lean Strong Fitness for a little over a month now and it has been a great experience. I have tried gyms and personal trainers for several years now and I am finding the LSF program is working well for me. Having a group environment makes it a bit more interesting but not intimidating in any way. The personal trainers Justin, Pam and Rebecca, that I have worked with, have been excellent and are always helping me to correct any bad form/habits I have picked up.

Expérience fantastique: There are so many great things to say about this place! I loved having a personal assessment with Leesha followed by a training program written for me by Justin. It makes such a difference to follow an actual program and not do random things in the gym. I've had several sports related injuries and can tell after a month of following this program that I am on my way to healing them. I've had coached sessions with Justin, Pam and Rebecca and found them all to be fantastic: knowledgeable, experienced, and also fun :-) I also had a phone consult with Ben to discuss nutrition which was useful and a bonus to an already excellent program. (nutrition and rest days are also part of the program here.) This is a gem of a place, whether you are new to the gym or an athlete or somewhere in between.

Expérience fantastique: I was invited to attend"bring a friend day",to my surprise this body of mine needed help, stretching was my weakness and my goals are mobility, tone and stability. With the help and guidance of my coach Rebecca she has begun to raise my limitations and challenging me throughout each program. Ball slams and plank challenges are my favourite......hats off to the group participation!!!!! Big shout out to Rebecca for challenging me throughout my journey and telling me that " I got this " I just wanted to thank The Lean Strong Family for giving me the support and tools to achieve my goals

Expérience fantastique: A welcoming group of dedicated staff, in a non-intimidating environment helping myself & others achieve there goals. In the short amount of time I've been, I've noticed a change in my mental well-being, and my mobility. Thank you

Expérience fantastique: I was looking for something that was going to get me active and back in shape and I knew that the regular gym classes, boot camps and online home workouts were not going to happen. I had tried several times over the years but I couldn't keep myself disciplined to go. I took a chance on Lean Strong Fitness and it has been just what I needed! It was clear from the very first session that the trainers are very knowledgeable and their expertise makes me confident that I won't hurt myself and that I'm getting the most out of every workout. They also provide just the right balance of encouragement and pressure to push myself when I normally wouldn't. Over the past 11 months I have hit my goals of increasing my energy and building muscle. I have surpassed my own expectations and the fact that I can fit in a dress I haven't worn in several years is icing on the cake! I recommend this gym to anyone and especially to those like me who have trouble keeping up the motivation and need that bit of extra attention and feedback to keep on track.

Expérience fantastique: The staff are exceptional at their job and are very welcoming. The atmosphere is fun and upbeat. I love the smaller groups less intimidating than the big gyms. Love how the workout is specific to my needs. Looking forward to continuing to a stronger me.

Expérience fantastique: Lean Strong Fitness & Wellness (LSFW) and its expert coaches, have helped me stay fit without injury, despite my tendency to always pushing my limits to my own detriment. They slow me down when called for and encourage me to push myself when appropriate. The custom-tailored workouts combined with close supervision have made a tremendous difference in increasing my strength, while reducing chronic pain. A special shout out to Justin, Rebecca, Pam, Jason, and the amazing team behind the scenes for all their amazing support. If you are looking to join a great training gym in the Guelph area to improve your health and fitness, save yourself some time and look no further… LSFW IS IT!

Expérience fantastique: I've been working with Rebecca and Justin at Lean Strong Fitness and they've been great. Very knowledgeable and careful to ensure that I don't aggravate an old injury. I like the environment at LSF - it's not your typical gym - much smaller and more intimate, but with everything that you need. Highly recommend.

Expérience fantastique: I'm so happy that I found Lean Strong Fitness and Wellness almost 2 years ago! Newly retired and 65, I was intimidated about joining a gym. I also had some health issues that were intensifying as I was getting older. I knew it was time that I did something about my health and fitness! I saw an ad for LSFW and realized they catered to people in their 50s and decided to go in and meet everyone. Leesha and Ben were welcoming at that first meeting and I felt confident LSFW could help me. I felt at home right from the start. Pam sets up individual customized programs and she supports me as I learn. I now go there two times a week in the summer and three to four times a week during other seasons and look forward to it every time! Thank you LSFW!

Expérience fantastique: Great place and super knowledgeable staff. Small groups and nothing feels intimidating. Highly recommend.

Expérience fantastique: Ben and his team are knowledgeable, fun and super welcoming. Can’t recommend enough!!

Expérience fantastique: Amazing coaching and confident leadership. Ben and his team know their stuff about personal health and fitness. Fantastic experience.

Expérience fantastique: Amazing value. Fantastic fitness knowledge

Expérience fantastique: I have had both knees replaced; both hips replaced and an aortic valve replaced with a cow valve. I definitely needed some programmed exercises that would help my situation. The pandemic did not help in allowing efficient and necessary movement even though I did it virtually for awhile. Being back in the gym and with the help of Farnaz the physiotherapist, and Pam and Justin(recent addition to my program) my health and wellness has definitely improved. It has taken awhile but I am encouraged and thankful. They have all been very helpful in my rehabilitation and renewed zest for life. This getting old definitely has its store of "seeds"--not all cherries. Oh yea!! I would recommend this gym to anyone. No matter what age.

Expérience fantastique: I've been a member for over a year. Fantastic coaches and equipment. Friendly environment catering to people who want to get fit without the big gym intimidations. I highly recommend this training facility

Expérience fantastique: I looked into my mirror And what did I see? Some post-pandemic weight gain Staring back at me. I finally gathered courage to join a gym Lean Strong Fitness is the place I'm in You'll be greeted with welcomes and big huge smiles And all of their trainers will go the extra mile Dumb bells, kettle bells, sweat, sweat, sweat But at the end of your workout, I'll just bet You'll feel supported, encouraged, comfortable and more From the very first moment that you walk in the door. The "instruments of torture" will vary with each member Especially with Justin who fails to remember I'm old, overweight and my bones, they ache Maybe this whole thing has been a mistake! 24 inches down and 26 pounds gone I guess Justin Theriault's okay after all I think I'll carry on! Madeleine

Expérience fantastique: I was ready to quit golf because of shoulder injuries, but then I found Lean Strong Fitness. I have been going there for one month now and it has already made a huge difference in my game. I am almost back with full mobility, my golf game is almost back to normal and I am scoring much better. Thank you to all the staff, you guys are simply awesome.

Expérience fantastique: Marsy and Veronique love this place.

Expérience fantastique: Wow! Lean Strong Fitness has got it figured out. This isn't your run of the mill gym. They have custom tailored every single workout specifically for my unique needs. I love the focus on strength building, especially as I enter my 40's. Their extensive knowledge and keen eye on form makes every work matter and count. I left my old gym because I was outgrowing it and needed specific focus on form and strength and LeanStrong has nailed it. Plus I'm seeing amazing results. Highly recommend.

Expérience fantastique: I just recently joined Lean Strong Fitness and have had such a great experience so far. The personalized fitness programs are great as they cater to the individual needs of the person and they are easily adapted by the coaches to intensify the program or modify it to a less impactful/less intensive movement. The coaches are always there for support and will correct form when necessary to avoid injury! I would recommend this gym to anyone without hesitation as I have already noticed a tremendous change in my strength! I am so happy to be part of such a welcoming and great team!

Expérience fantastique: Great team! Love working out here. Ben is the best!

Expérience positive: What I’ve noticed since joining LSF is the improvement in my functional fitness. I only go once a week. Even so, my customized plan and coaches’ attention to my form and effort has helped my gardening ‘workouts’. I’m less tired and sore, and more body conscious in the way i move and use my body. Great work LSF Team!

Expérience fantastique: Lean Strong Fitness is perfect for people who want to work out independently but have trainers close by for any support. My program is great for this setup: I work once a month with a trainer who creates a two-day program that then I do it independently for the month after, until my next one-on-one. But each independent session, there is always a trainer on the floor, close by that I can ask questions to. I love that I can work with the trainer to develop my program based on my needs and interests. The trainers are supportive and interested in tailoring a program to the specific needs of their members, so no matter where you are in your fitness Lean Strong is a good choice because they will meet you where you're at and create something from there. So there is no reason to be intimidated because they create a program that is where you will feel capable. I like that the scheduling is really flexible too. I can book weeks in advance for my sessions, or I can just decide on the fly that I want to go in, and I can go to their booking website and just schedule myself in/see what works. Their vibe is supportive and not intimidating.

Expérience fantastique: When I found out about Lean Strong I thought to myself ‘maybe there is hope for me yet!’ I have been in a few accidents back to back and all I was looking for was gaining back everyday strength and stability. The team at Lean Strong has done that and MORE for me! They have given me a personal program that works for me and my limitations. I have come so far in the 6 months, I have surpassed anything I thought I was capable of achieving. I look forward to each session, it keeps me motivated to get through the work week!

Expérience fantastique: Staff well trained and very friendly . I would recommend it

Expérience fantastique: Joining THIS gym is the best thing I've done for myself in the last 4 years. I used to be really strong, but have been getting weaker since having a baby, and then doing an intensive school program. I repeatedly tried to get stronger on my own, and sometimes it worked for a bit, and sometimes injured myself and then had to stop. When I met with Ben at Lean Strong, he asked about all my aches and pains and weak spots, and then wrote a workout program for me. I've been going a little over a month now and I haven't injured myself, and I feel stronger already. I admit that originally I looked around for the cheapest option in my neighbourhood, but then I realized that I could either pay for the cheap option and probably injure myself again (if I even motivated myself to go), or I could join this and actually get what I was hoping to get out of a gym. Hands down, worth every penny.

Expérience fantastique: I joined LSF about a month ago since I was falling behind in strength training. I am 57 but still go hard at high altitude mountaineering, gravel and mountain biking, surfing and rock climbing. After only a month training with the LSF team, I have improved in many of the sports I like doing. I am running better than ever, even after a 3-month break - no hamstring aches, no back aches. My first gravel ride of the year was 93km and I did not even feel it - no cramps, no fatigue. I am climbing rock like a champ as well. I cannot recommend this type of specialized strength traninig more....it is not just weight lifting, it is body engineering. No injuries, no funny business, just high quality athletic training. I am preparing to climb the French Direct route of Alpamayo in Peru this coming August, and this training will really put me in the zone. BTW, I am missing my L5-S1 disc and have huge bunions....no pain at all though! I am happy. Thanks Ben and LSF team.

Expérience fantastique: I am now a 6 month customer at LSF and about to renew for another 6 months. I love the personal attention and programs that are developed just for me. I love that LSF caters to the 50+ year old group. The owner and staff are great and they genuinely care about our successes and our trials. A great place to start (or continue) that quest for a healthier you!

Expérience fantastique: This is unlike any gym I've ever been to. It's so personal and everyone is so friendly and caring. I love having my program created for me, so I know that I'm maximizing my workout time. Plus, there's nowhere to hide, so you have to show up and do the work, which is great for accountability. I recently hit a milestone of 250 workouts and received a personal card congratulating me on this achievement. That’s the kind of place this is.

Expérience fantastique: I've supported many gyms in my life [but rarely used them]. I am thrilled to have found Lean and Strong. It's personal, clean and comfortable atmosphere; help is constant -- you can't hurt yourself; and the support and positive vibe is fantastic. I was beginning to feel I had reached the "old and achy" stage of life but, within two weeks, I'm moving like I did 15 years ago. I can't speak highly enough of Ben and his excellent and professional staff.

Expérience fantastique: Wow what a difference lean and strong has made in my life. I have lost 113lb since my heaviest weight of 328 Physically what a difference it's made in my back my arms my heart is just this is actually being fantastic.

Expérience fantastique: I've really enjoyed my experience here. My program was geared to my personal needs, wishes, and abilities, and I appreciate that I wasn't simply left to my own devices once I paid my fee and started working out. The training has been supportive and encouraging. I felt motivated to come to every session and having that accountability has made a big difference. I can't recommend Lean Strong Fitness highly enough.

Expérience fantastique: I joined Lean, Strong Fitness at the beginning of August and it has been a great experience from the first day onwards. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly, and I look forward to working out with them. My strength and overall fitness have improved so much since I started and I'm looking forward to continuing the journey with LSFIT.

Expérience fantastique: The experience so far has been incredible from Connor to the training team to the owner Ben who goes over and above to support you in any way to ensure you can continue to get healthy! Thank you Lean Strong team and Ben the results I am getting our amazing support I’m getting is even more amazing I also forgot to mention that Jason is fantastic!

Expérience fantastique: This is a wonderful place to meet your fitness goals! The trainers are all very knowledgeable, approachable and give great feedback. The environment is friendly, with people of all ages and stages of fitness. Come check it out - I guarantee you will be greeted by name on every visit.

Expérience fantastique: Great team that works with folks. Accepting of teams along with individual training.

Expérience fantastique: Thank you LSF for what you are, who you are and what you offer. A special thanks to my coach Justin - his motivation extends beyond the gym floor. LSF attracts like minded people regardless of their fitness level, so knowing the people I will see on any given day makes my workouts really enjoyable. Not to say the workouts aren't challenging. We are there to work and get it done!

Expérience fantastique: Positive environment that is very welcoming! Would recommend anyone to try Lean Strong.

Expérience fantastique: Every member on the team from administration to trainers are absolutely amazing. It is such a positive and fun environment, my training classes are the highlight of my day! Thank you all for your hard work it definitely shows. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for help with an injury or if you are just looking to get into shape. All the staff are well experienced in all the different exercises/training techniques available.

Expérience fantastique: I've been a member at Lean and Strong Fitness for about 18 months, much of that during the pandemic. I joined because I'd had a number of injuries and decided I needed to invest in my wellness. The expert coaching and friendly atmosphere has really worked for me and I've learned alot and gotten stronger and more confident in my body. I have been particularly impressed with how Ben and his team have handled running a small in gym in a pandemic. Currently all classes are held on Zoom and even remotely the quality of instruction is still excellent. I happily recommend Lean and Strong Fitness to people looking for new gym.

Expérience fantastique: Thank you Ben and team for your personal commitment and attention to the overall wellbeing of our health. Your fitness system was a game changer for my wife and I. Years and years of back pain was erased because of your approach to personal training. The care and consideration of your clients, putting their health first, improved our life. Thank you!

Expérience fantastique: I've been attending Lean Strong Fitness for 6 weeks, and I started as totally sedentary and with no gym experience. I really appreciate the ways that the staff have met me where I'm at, and I can't believe the changes I've seen. Looking forward to continuing on at LSF.

Expérience fantastique: For the past couple of years I have walked past Lean Strong Fitness and finally in December 2018 I made an appointment to see what it was about. I am so impressed with the high calibre on all levels...the staff all come from very schooled and experienced backgrounds as you will read on their individual biog's. As was told to me, the purpose is to get me making those lifestyle changes that will benefit me and as well make them my 'habits'...Their individual attention to you magnifies for me my own accountability...Its more than just a place that works on the physical transformation and strengthening. Their concern covers other wellness bases in our lives.... Thanks!!!

Expérience fantastique: The Lean Strong Fitness Team is second to none! I have just hit my 3 month mark ,training with them, and I could not be happier with my progress and their expertise! I have been a member of many "Big Box" gyms and worked with many personal trainers and this is the first time the trainers (ALL of them, not just 1) have really had my best interest at heart! They actually want me to learn to do the exercises properly, taking my limitations into consideration.... Ben, the owner , told me when we first met their goal is to have me not need them eventually... how refreshing! If you are looking for a gym that will help you get in shape with a personalized plan but also will teach you proper technique, healthy eating habits and foster Independence with long term lifestyle changes, this is the place!

Expérience fantastique: A gently motivating team that was welcoming to all that I saw during my workout sessions. Austin was engaging with crafty technique, Pam was ever ready with new stretches and ways to adapt your movements and Ben was quick to respond to any situation. My upper body strength doubled in a very short period of time. Hope to return for more sessions at a later date.

Expérience fantastique: Amazing, kind and knowledgeable staff! The personal training I did was in a small group environment which helped to make me feel comfortable and at ease in a gym.

Expérience fantastique: Really enjoying my time there, trainers are all focused and very encouraging.....

Expérience fantastique: I love this place. I’ve only just started my journey to fitness but having met all the trainers and getting my first training plan, I’m super motivated. They really have a great overall plan making you accountable for your fitness goals and providing expert knowledge of form and function. Health should be something that is non-negotiable and I highly recommend that if you need help or a little push that you won’t be disappointed visiting lean Strong Fitness Fitness.

Expérience fantastique: I had an amazing experience with LSF. i started out with a lot of joint pain. Targeted exercises, with the professional instruction of Benjamin Pickard, relieved the pain. Goal oriented and understanding this is a top notch team of trained professionals. I got such an amazing result with Ben. I enjoy my workouts knowing I am building joint stability and stamina and have no fear of injuring myself. Way to go LSF!!! What an asset you are to this community!

Expérience fantastique: Love LSF. The team is amazing and understanding. New Facility is great , open and inviting. No need to be embarrassed here if you are not in the best shape. They will help you with just the smallest amount of push to reach your goals!!

Expérience fantastique: Ben is a true gem in the industry and it's incredibly rewarding to see Lean Strong Fitness succeed the way it has. As a fellow fitness business owner myself, I wouldn't hesitate to refer people to him and his team.

Expérience fantastique: I began my journey with LSF in the middle of March and can't be more pleased with absolutely everything. I've gone to personal trainers before but they have never looked at the "complete" picture. Ben looks at everything and then develops a plan for you to reach your goals. I am super excited for the first time in a very long time about working out and making my health a priority with their help. It is nice to feel like I have someone in my corner for a change.

Expérience fantastique: I am just over one month at LSFit and I LOVE IT! Great team!

Expérience fantastique: What a great place to be educated and have fun! All while accomplishing your goals!

Expérience fantastique: Where does one start....2 1/2 years ago, I was looking for a personal trainer to help me get in shape for hiking the Machu Picchu and found Lean Strong Fitness on Facebook...the next thing I was working with Austin and lifting weights at my speed, and coached by someone with so much knowledge, not only with training, as well as my overall health...what I was eating, how much I should eat, sleep habits, life habits and slowly I was able to make the changes for life. Thank you Lean Strong Fitness, especially Austin and Ben! You guys are the best!

Expérience fantastique: Great place to get fit and work on any aspect of your wellness. Ben is committed to doing things the right way and all the trainers are great to work with. They want to make sure you are doing things the right way. Very comfortable, non-judgmental atmosphere. A really nice facility, too.

Expérience fantastique: Lean Strong fitness was a game changer for me. I had so much fun working out with the staff and a few of the other clients. I was impressed by how well trained the staff is. They always push you right to the limit without feeling ill or to sore to go to work. This helped me get the most out of my workouts. Lean Strong was able to help me build good habits that will lead to a healthy happy future. I would strongly encourage everybody to train at Lean Strong for a minimum of 1 year. Your future self will thank-you.

Expérience fantastique: I've never been so strong or so motivated to get stronger. The Lean Strong Family is amazing! I can't stop talking about them and sharing my fitness journey with everyone I know. Thank you Ben, Pam & Austin! Keep doing what you're doing!

Expérience fantastique: Group personal training with one-on-one attention. They start slow and work habits j to your lifestyle without trying to change your whole life. I've never felt better and I've had 3 kids and nearing 40.....that says a lot!

Expérience fantastique: It is clear that Ben and the entire team at Lean String are out to help their clients get the most out of their health and lifestyle goals. I have not seen a group so dedicated to achieving excellence for their clients before. Keep the great work Lean String!!

Expérience fantastique: Ben is an incredible leader who totally gets how to build great community and meet people where they are at.

Expérience fantastique: The entire Lean Strong Fitness team is fantastic! I couldn't be happier that I joined. Ben, Austin, and Pam are a blast to work with as they are always keep things positive and upbeat, while making sure everyone sticks to their plan. It's very easy to see that they love helping others achieve their goals. If anyone was looking for a great team to work with, I would highly recommend you sit down and talk with Ben and the team at Lean Strong!

Expérience fantastique: It's a positive and welcoming environment, and the personal attention is great. Whatever your fitness goals are, Ben and his team will work with you and motivate you to achieve them.

Expérience fantastique: Lean strong fitness is simply the most professional, reliable, and intelligent fitness coaching service in Guelph. As a coach myself, I can't recommend them enough.

Expérience fantastique: Ben and his team are really good. They know what they're doing. They deliver on what they promise. It's a fun and welcoming place.

Expérience fantastique: Ben and his team are excellent to work with. They are very thorough in their instruction of technique and their workout plans are well thought out. They are great at helping me to stay motivated towards reaching my goals!

Expérience fantastique: Ben is a great trainer to work with and has worked very hard to start Lean Strong Fitness. He is very professional as an online coach/distance coach; he responds in a timely manner, provides quality programming and gives great support! I have always appreciated that Ben is a goal-oriented, genuine person and I know Lean Strong Fitness reflects that! Before I started working with Ben, I was confused about my fitness goals, had some unhealthy mindsets and was not working out in an efficient manner. Working with Ben, I have learned how to workout the smart way, how to make concrete goals and how to make progress.

Expérience fantastique: In the short time I've been working with Ben I have been extremely impressed with how knowledgeable and passionate he is about his career. I love that I have the option to do distance training so I don't have to pay for a trainer to be with me at every workout - he gives me a program, shows me how it's done and checks in frequently to make sure it's going smoothly. He's very supportive and understanding of the challenges that come with working towards your fitness goals, all with a light-hearted tells you like it is attitude :).
