Clear Cut Fitness

Expérience fantastique: Shannon and Chris have created a great small gym that no one would be afraid to go to, no matter their gender or size. I trained with Sam, and she was great at encouraging me and getting me to do all the exercises/lifts with the right form. Shannon guided me through it all and taught me how to eat to support weightlifting. I joined because I am 53 and in menopause, so I need to get toned and not lose any muscle mass. You should join, too!

Expérience fantastique: I do my sessions virtually as I live in Ottawa. Shannon is exceptional. She is extremely knowledgeable and continues to guide me in a way no one has before. I am 50, yes that means my body is changing, yay for us women! She understands and explains in detail what your body requires at different stages of life. She is guiding me on what my needs are as my hormones no longer want to co-operate. You will not be disappointed by giving Shannon a call. She clearly has a zest for life, fitness, your well-being and encourages you. Thank you Shannon! You are the BEST!

Expérience fantastique: Allow yourself to be met, encouraged, challenged and supported ,on your journey with health by the devoted, radiant and super vibe Shannon! Shannon provides the building blocks for fitness, and nutrition that meet you to develop practices, habits and mind sets for you to grow and deepen your shine in the world. When I was low and felt unable, Shannon was there to support the hump, tweak things as they were needed and was a safe and supportive guide. Online, in person- she has you covered! Thanks for all you create and offer!

Expérience fantastique: Chris helped me get strong and flexible in my lower body for trekking in the mountains and I'm going to continue the program for next year's trek. Also some weight loss and overall just better mental health because of the highly rewarding feeling after a workout. Thanks chris!

Expérience fantastique: Chris is very knowledgeable and professional. He helped me achieve my personal fitness goals and I look forward to achieving more with him in the future. There is a ton of functional equipment in his gym and it is very easy to get to as its right night to Pape subway station on the Danforth.

Expérience fantastique: I've been training at Clear Cut for 4 years now, and all I can say is these guys are amazing. Chris and Shannon have put together an amazing team that consistently day in and day out put the time and effort in to ensure their clients get the most out of their sessions, whether it be strength training, rehab and conditioning, how to create a healthy sustainable diet, etc. Their professionalism and attention to detail when working with you does not go unnoticed. If you're looking to make improvements to your overall health and body as a whole, then this is the place for you!

Expérience fantastique: Clear Cut Fitness is FANTASTIC!! I went from wasting my money on yearly gym memberships that I never used, to eagerly looking forward to my workouts each week. Chris is a wonderful trainer; he's personable, warm, and extremely knowledgeable. He's answered my many questions: from form and fitness, to the best shoes for lifting weights and tips on nutrition. The space is clean and has everything you need. I really couldn't have asked for a better experience, which is why I'll continue to be a client of Chris and Clear Cut Fitness for years to come :-)

Expérience fantastique: I’ve been w Chris for 8 years and followed him to 2 gyms before he landed clear cut fitness. I started when I was about 200 lbs having already lost 80 lbs with gastric bypass surgery. I’m now 137 lbs, fit and strong. I’ve done 1wk and twice per week as finances allow. When I used personal trainers for short spurts prior to Chris I was trained right into a torn rotator cuff. I learned that most ‘personal trainers’ take a weekend course or 2, or have no qualifications at all beyond working out themselves. Chris has a degree in kinesiology and is a life long learner in that he continues his education adding certificates in nutrition and other aspects of his specialty. He s approach is evidence informed because he keeps up w the science of movement and fitness. Indeed, he designs my workouts around my rotator cuff, knee limitations and general aging (I’m 55). It’s never boring - he’s a great ally and teacher in my fitness, weight loss and maintenance journey. I highly recommend Chris, Shannon and the team of trainers at Clear Cut Fitness for anyone wanting to start weight training at any age and at any experience level. You’ll get strong and reap the benefits that come with it! More importantly, you’ll avoid aggravating any pre-existing injury or developing a new one w an uninformed/uneducated trainer. Thanks Chris - you helped me change my life!

Expérience fantastique: More important is...i clearly understand the word dont overload,yhank you.

Expérience fantastique: Sam is amazing! When I was nervous about Covid, she trained me outside in the park! When I was more comfortable, we moved back into the gym to continue my training. I was so happy to be in the space, which is amazing! Great trainer, great gym, great team!

Expérience fantastique: I've been working out with Shannon for a couple of years. Sh'e is a knowledgeable, caring fitness coach that has helped take my fitness to another level. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great coach whatever your fitness level.

Expérience fantastique: Started working out with Shannon online recently. Love the programming! Great value for $. Highly recommend them if you want to be fit and strong.

Expérience fantastique: Working virtually with Shannon has been amazing! I went from someone extremely intimidated in the gym with no plan to someone who can lift heavy weights safety and confidently! I never thought working out would become something I actually ENJOY! She’s also a great source of motivation via text on those days you need an extra boost.

Expérience fantastique: Highly recommended. Chris knew the right trainer to use for my needs. Mike is a solid guy and really knows how to create what you are looking to achieve.

Expérience fantastique: Chris is the best! Buy his book & book a session! Fixed my back up real good

Expérience fantastique: Great location, very knowledgable staff and trainers. Very clean, distanced workout spots, and overall great atmosphere/vibe. Highly recommend!

Expérience fantastique: CUT Fitness has a clean facility run by people who really care that they provide good service. There is a great range of equipment that covers all exercise needs. Changing rooms are regularly swept and wet mopped. Staff are friendly and helpful. It has been a safe place to exercise during COVID and continues to be.

Expérience fantastique: Amazing group running the place!

Expérience fantastique: My favourite gym in the heart of Greek town in Toronto. Shannon(one of the owners) is an extremely well-rounded coach and trainer who's very passionate about what she does. If you're looking for someone who's both educated and looking to get yourself in the best shape of your life then join up with Clear Cut Fitness!

Expérience fantastique: Clear Cut is fantastic! Shannon is such a dynamic and strong trainer, it's been so fun working on my fitness journey with her. She really has a thorough knowledge on muscles and how to isolate them to strengthen/stretch them. I now look forward to workouts rather than dreading them!! Not only are your plans custom made for you and your body's needs, the strength training helps you get leaner like no other program I've tried before. And this is coming from someone with an athletic background. I highly recommend training with any of the trainers from Clear Cut Fitness. If you're on the fence - just go for it! The results are worth it and you make some great relationships with an awesome community in the process :)

Expérience fantastique: Amazing gym and Chris is an awesome trainer. I'm doing my physio during the pandemic here and they are super safe and accommodating for their clients. Highly recommend!!

Expérience fantastique: Shannon is a fantastic trainer. She is smart, fun and really knows fitness. I had been working out for a long time before meeting up with Shannon. She really helped to improve my technique which allowed me to really see results. Shannon also helped me through a couple of sports related injuries and created programs that kept me motivated and enabled me to come back stronger. I don't have the time or desire to spend hours in the gym. Shannon's workouts are effective and I have noticed, and felt, positive and lasting changes. I highly recommend Shannon and Clear Cut Fitness

Expérience fantastique: I’ve been training with Clearcut Fitness for the past 3 years and the coaching I’ve received has completely changed the way I view workouts. I absolutely love strength training and have learned how to do so safely. Chris and Shannon are amazing coaches. They’re both knowledgeable, encouraging and truly care about helping me achieve my goals. I’m the strongest I’ve ever been and always look forward to my sessions.

Expérience fantastique: The best trainers hands down. Knowledgeable, thoughtful and relatable.

Expérience fantastique: I absolutely love this gym! I usually dont feel very comfortable in most studios but clearcut is different! Chris is filled with so much knowledge and knows exactly how much to push me in our personal training workouts. and I already see improvement only 2 weeks in highly recommend!

Expérience fantastique: I'm new to Clear Cut Fitness and have had a very positive experience so far. I have been working with Shannon in an online capacity as I do not live in the area. Having a personal trainer and lifestyle coach available from home has been instrumental in changing my habits and keeping me on task toward success. Six weeks in, I am both seeing and feeling the results. My diet has changed dramatically and I don't ever miss my workouts. My motivation has been fully maintained as I am eating better and more delicious meals while staying in lockstep with my exercise program. My experience with Clear Cut has started me, and kept me, on my pathway to a better lifestyle.

Expérience fantastique: I have been training for just over a month with Chris and have already noticed a difference. He has helped me with improving my hip mobility, toning my legs, and building my strength. I have more energy and always look forward to my workouts and seeing my progress!

Expérience fantastique: I have been training here for the past few weeks. The new location is great and very convenient! Reena has been awesome and been guiding me on my postpartum journey.

Expérience fantastique: After having my baby I decided to join Clear Cut Fitness. BEST DECISION EVER. Clear Cut fitness is an amazing Gym because there's no judgement, the vibe is super laid back, convenient location, the people are very friendly and I work with the best trainer ever(Reena). After you leave your session you feel stronger than ever!

Expérience fantastique: I had the pleasure of working out at Clear Cut with two of their trainers and can't speak more highly of this gym! Their knowledge and skills are top notch. It was important to me that my trainer understand women's training needs and postpartum considerations - Reena is amazing. I'd still be working out there if I didn't move out of the city entirely. Definitely worth checking out if you want to build strength, confidence, reach your fitness goals faster, and actually have fun going to the gym!

Expérience fantastique: I've had two sessions with Shannon, and I'm hooked. She puts a great deal of effort into building a sustainable program around improving form to address and improve past injuries. It's like physio and personal training in one! Also, the gym is next next to Pape subway station, and has parking directly across the street.

Expérience fantastique: Amazing and well qualified trainers. Very easy to deal with.

Expérience fantastique: The trainers and atmosphere here is incomparable. Shannon has been my personal trainer for a few years now and I'm always in awe of the level of expertise shown. She always knows just how far to push me and when to switch or adjust the exercise to how my body responds. I feel safe and empowered as we aim to dispell the myth of "at your age"...

Expérience fantastique: The trainers at CCF are knowledgable, reliable and a cut above the rest. I highly recommend this gym to anyone - whether you're looking to get started with a trainer for the first time or you're a seasoned athlete wanting to get to the next level.

Expérience fantastique: Grreat gym with a great vibe and outstanding trainers who are all very knowledgeable. You can do either one-on-one or a small group. This is the opposite of a big commercial gym...everyone gets lots of individual attention from experts. Very highly recommended.

Expérience fantastique: I was trying to find someone with knowledge on diastasis recti for last 3 years. I had 6 finger gap and pretty bad back pain because of that. Shannon created a specialized plan for my condition and after few months I am pain free and gaining more and more strength with every session. I highly recommend Shannon and her team especially if you have any specific condition and looking for a trainer with specialized knowledge.

Expérience fantastique: 2 years ago I injured my back on two separate occasions (upper and lower) and was on a long journey to recovery - physically, mentally and emotionally. Lack of activity and exercise was difficult which promoted poor eating habits, increased weight gain, low self esteem and I was left feeling miserable and unhappy with myself. Physically, I never fully recovered post physio treatment and I found it difficult to return to the gym floor on my own. My willingness and confidence was shattered. 8 months ago I found Chris at Clear Cut Fitness. I explained my situation, shared my goals and aspirations with Chris. Hearing Chris’ commitment to me and my goals, I walked away from our first meeting feeling inspired and excited. Honestly, this was the best investment decision (in myself) and I haven’t been happier. Chris has been incredibly supportive and attentive to my needs throughout this entire process. He’s created a fantastic and challenging training program which focused on my goals intended on getting my strength back but made it fun and interesting at the same time. The programs Chris creates and our sessions together continually challenge me and push me to do things that I never thought I could do. Chris is incredibly knowledgeable and well versed in Training and Fitness and shares that knowledge with me during our sessions. He’s a great educator and that is extremely important to me. I look forward to training sessions twice a week with Chris. Since joining Clear Cut Fitness I have quickly and fully regained my strength, improved my confidence, increased muscle, and have lost weight slowly building back my body. Most of all I feel great and regained my energy. Clear Cut is at a great location with a fantastic space a wide assortment of equipment to facilitate various individual needs. The space is very clean and organized and the team is knowledgeable, friendly and passionate about what they do. No judgement here. Clear Cut has created a great community within it’s community and definitely recommend!!

Expérience fantastique: Clear Cut is great for anyone looking for personal or small group fitness training. They have great trainers like Shannon who tailor programs to you and your goals and coach you to go as far as possible.

Expérience fantastique: If you have goals specific to cycling, go check out Clear Cut Fitness. Shannon has coached me through 2 seasons of cyclocross. Within these 2 seasons I have advanced classes, have had 3 podium finishes, won my first cylcocross race, and raced internationally. I have seen an overall improvement in my strength, endurance and physique. Her gym offers a perfect space to train off the bike.

Expérience fantastique: Great gym with extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff. The small group training sessions are amazing! Would recommend to anyone.

Expérience fantastique: I went to a Clear Cut Fitness' Kettlebell workshop.  I was super nervous about going but Shannon and Rachel were excellent instructors.  The class size was small and intimate and I felt I got personal attention when I needed it! The gym is smaller in size but is a cool safe space to try something new. Highly recommend it!

Expérience fantastique: Amazing, knowledgable and encouraging trainers who support you to work towards your individual goals. Always ensuring you are challenged in a safe way. A+

Expérience fantastique: Two years ago I battled and survived breast cancer. Throughout the battle, Shannon and Clear Cut Fitness were there supporting me and adapting a program that was tailored to my recovery. She was able to develop a program that focused on Resistance Training for Breast Cancer. While I did experience a loss of flexibility, strength and new muscle imbalances during treatment, Shannon has helped me return to my pretreatment activity levels with new goals that continue to motivate me daily. If you're concerned about training during treatment, I strongly suggest you contact Shannon!!!

Expérience fantastique: For Google.... "I would highly recommend Clear Cut Fitness for anyone who is tired of their bootcamp or box gym. They offer a truly unique one one one experience.  I trust their trainers, programs and workouts. They keep their classes to a maximum of 6 people. You don't need to worry about getting injured. Shannon and Chris have truly built an incredible gym"

Expérience fantastique: Clear Cut Fitness has a plethora of barbells and weights.  There's never an issue of getting a rack or a barbell.

Expérience fantastique: Been training with Usama for a month now and the results are amazing. I feel great and can't help but be excited for the next session. Gym has a great location and awesome vibe. Chris and Shannon have really set up something great.

Expérience fantastique: I can just recommend Chris and his team at Clear Cut Fitness. They are competent and knowledgeable and helped me to an overall physical improvement. When I started to work out with them a couple of months ago, I wasnt happy with my body and I suffered heavy headaches. I am in sales, which means my job happens either at a desk or on a plane, both really bad for posture and health. Irregular and unhealthy meals didnt help either… My personal trainer Morgan helped me to better posture and to improve my strength with exercises tailored to my personal capabilities. Its very satisfying to see muscles where there havent been any for years… Also, I like the atmosphere at Clear Cut Fitness...Always fun :).

Expérience fantastique: I have been working out with Chris for over two years. Thanks to his guidance and encouragement, my posture has improved and my strength has dramatically increased. More importantly, my nagging shoulder pain improved significantly and when I injured my lower back, he was instrumental in speeding my recovery. He's a consummate professional and all around great person. I respect him and recommend him wholeheartedly.

Expérience fantastique: Smart trainers and a great atmosphere!

Expérience fantastique: Great gym atmosphere, trainers know what they’re doing.

Expérience fantastique: The team at Clear Cut Fitness are knowledgeable, professional, and enthusiastic. Chris was able to effectively identify areas I needed to improve and help me set realistic and obtainable goals. My work schedule makes it difficult for me to train during regular working hours so I was only able to train at the studio 1 day and week and the rest at commercial gyms. Chris/Steve would provide me detailed workout plans with alternative exercises to do when I couldn't make it to CCF and were always willing to provide me with feedback through email. I greatly appreciate the progress they have helped me achieve!

Expérience fantastique: Amazing place with very experienced staff. Would refer this place to anyone that wants to get in shape and live a healthy lifestyle. Awesome work Chris!

Expérience fantastique: You're among friends here! I was always self conscience about going to the gym on my own, but after my PT sessions at Clear Cut, I feel more confident than ever. I was completely clueless on how to properly lift. Chris teamed me up with Joel who explained all the techniques, proper form, which muscles to engage (and why) as well as proper diet/nutrition (Take the Precision Nutrition course!). Joel also prepped me for two months to do a jiu jitsu tournament in Feb. 2017; pushing me past my limits and my comfort zone. I won a silver medal and a huge part of it is due to the hard work and endless encouragement from the trainers at Clear Cut. They are top notch and they understand that not every body moves the same way, so they cater to your own personal mobility/needs.

Expérience fantastique: Hands down the best training experience. Chris has made going to the gym something I look forward to and actually enjoy instead of just being a necessity. A year ago, an orthopaedic surgeon told me I probably would never squat without pain again. With his expertise, dedication and patience, Chris made it possible for me to train without any discomfort at all! I am now lifting heavier than I ever have and feel strong and empowered. I feel so fortunate to have found this place, can't recommend it enough!
