I have a history of disc herniations. My goal for the last few years has been to be able to move confidently again and to preventatively strengthen my body.
Cory has been a fantastic trainer and helped me progress on my journey immensely!
I can absolutely recommend studio fit u and especially Cory of you have a history of injury and are looking for qualified trainers.
Thank you Studio fit U & Cory!
I highly recommend Studio Fit U
! Everyone is incredibly welcoming and friendly, and it’s clear that the trainers genuinely care about helping you achieve your goals. They are highly knowledgeable and create personalized plans that are realistic and fit your lifestyle.
I’ve been training with Jimi for just a few months, and I’m already very happy with the progress I’ve made. I look forward to every session each week and can’t wait to continue working toward my goals.
I can’t recommend Studio Fit U enough. The facility is great, the atmosphere is welcoming, and all the coaches are incredibly supportive. A special thank you to Ianis, who I’ve been training with.
I came in with a long history of abdominal wall surgeries, so I was honestly afraid to train again. Ianis has helped me gradually rebuild my strength, regain my confidence, and, most importantly, learn how to train intelligently while respecting my limitations. Thanks to his guidance, I’ve realized that getting back to training was absolutely possible.
If you’re looking for knowledgeable coaches who truly care about your progress, this is the place to be.
Catherine-Ann has developed personalized exercise programs that blend seamlessly what we do in the Fit U studio with what I can do at home with minimal equipment. She is also helping me improve the function of muscles that have atrophied due to previous injuries. With the use of carefully applied electronic muscle stimulation and focused rehabilitation exercises I can do at home, I feel more confident that I will retain my independence and vitality heading into my senior years. I feel we are using her ongoing training in the field of athletic therapy to its full potential. Thanks.
I joined Studio Fit U because I wanted to lose weight and improve my overall health. What I appreciate most is the personalized approach. Every workout has a purpose, Gab takes the time to explain the exercises, adapts them when needed, and keeps track of my progress.
In less than two months, I've reduced my body fat, gained muscle mass, and seen improvements beyond just the number on the scale. One thing I didn't expect was how much I'd enjoy strength training and seeing myself get stronger each week.
The sessions are always well planned, challenging, and tailored to my progress. If you're looking for a coach who listens to your goals and genuinely cares about helping you, I'd definitely recommend Gab at Studio Fit U.
My Transformation Journey: Studio Fit U
I want to share my experience with Studio Fit U in detail so you can understand what to expect and how the process works from my perspective. Please read fully to get better idea.
I was suffering from severe neck and back pain due to bone degeneration and an L6 disc bulge. These issues were largely caused by my poor posture while sitting and the nature of my occupation. In my home country, I sought help through physiotherapy, including Interferential Therapy (IFT) and traction. While these treatments helped alleviate the pain, they did not lead to a full recovery.
When I moved to Montreal, I decided to try strength training after watching several YouTube videos that emphasized its role in strengthening muscles to recover from such issues. I found Studio Fit U on Google, and the reviews were excellent. I didn't have high expectations; I just wanted to give it a try.
I had an initial appointment with Sami, who proved to be an excellent listener. He understood my needs quickly and clearly. "Thank you, Sami!" He assigned me a personal trainer, Sara, a graduate in Kinesiology. She took the time to understand my specific health condition and developed a tailored plan. She has a wealth of knowledge; not only does she guide your training, but she also explains the mechanics behind why each movement helps. "Thank you, Sara, for your training."
Later, Sara left the organization, and Sami assigned me a new trainer, Gaby. This part of the story is important to note to truly understand the studio’s commitment: I did not expect Gaby to take my training seriously because I had already given notice that I would be relocating within a month. Despite this, he developed a new diet plan and adjusted my workout routine, which helped me gain 1 kg of muscle and lose 2% body fat in just that one month. "Thank you, Gaby."
My Results:
Over the course of this six-month journey, I have seen results in three phases:
Pain Recovery: I have recovered completely from my pain. I rarely experience discomfort now and no longer need to rely on massagers, hot packs, Diclofenac gel, or painkillers. I am 98% pain-free; I only feel minor discomfort on very rare occasions if I have an excessive workload or have been sitting for extremely long hours. This recovery happened within 3–4 months.
Energy and Mood: I started feeling a significant boost in my energy levels. Before, if I had a busy day, I would struggle to find the energy to spend time with my son or even finish basic chores like washing dishes. Now, I can handle my office work, stay active with my kids, and easily manage household tasks like cooking and cleaning. This has greatly improved my overall mood.
Body Composition: Throughout this six-month journey, I reduced my body fat by 9%—from 36% to 27%—and gained 3 kg of muscle. This transformation has given me immense confidence and motivates me to continue my fitness journey.
A big thank you to the team at Studio Fit U; keep up the great work! And once again, thank you to Sami, Sara, and Gaby.
C'est notamment dans le but de réintégrer l'activité physique dans mon quotidien que je me suis tournée vers Fit U, ayant été incapable de retrouver par moi-même mes bonnes habitudes après la pandémie.
J'avais hésité à faire le saut vers l'entraînement privé, mais dès mon premier appel et ma première rencontre avec Sami, je me suis sentie à l'aise et leur motivation à me permettre d'atteindre mes objectifs a été contagieuse.
Je m'entraîne depuis quelques mois avec Alexa à raison de deux fois par semaine et ça fait partie de mes moments préférés de la semaine! Elle est déterminée à me faire progresser tout en faisant preuve d'une grande écoute, elle fait tous les petits ajustements pour s'assurer que les exercices sont optimaux et grâce à elle, m'entraîner est devenu une activité que j'apprécie sincèrement. Ses encouragements sont précieux et je constate des gains plus rapidement que jamais grâce à son accompagnement, tout ça dans le plaisir et sans aucun jugement!
Si vous hésitez comme moi au départ, faites-vous le cadeau de contacter Fit U. Quels que soient vos objectifs, vous gagnerez des alliés incomparables. Votre seul regret sera de ne pas avoir commencé plus tôt!
Really great staff, knowledgeable, professional and very accessible. The facilities are top notch, and the environment is welcoming and relaxed. The interactions there are always genuine. The staff took my individual needs and goals into account for a tailor-made program with great follow up. Sami’s professional assessment of my previous injuries and physical condition, along with Jimi’s responsive and personalized training has been instrumental in me transforming my body despite age and other limitations. I highly recommend FitU. If you’re hesitant to start, don’t be.
Thanks to Sami for his warm welcome, effective assessment, and great approach. Furthermore Jimi, who guided me and tailored a complete transformational program and offered genuine support and oriented me throughout exercises to avoid injury and conduct myself properly throughout exercises as well as grow self-awareness about my physical habits, all with a good humour, a positive regard, and proactive collaboration. I felt at home in the studio at my first visit. What I learned saved me from injury, and will sustain me for life. I most definitely and with pleasure recommend this Studio.
I came in with knee and shoulder pain, and Sami really took the time to listen to my concerns. He took a thoughtful, hands-on approach and built a plan tailored to me. After just one month of training with him, I’m already in the recovery phase and pain-free. On top of that, I’ve seen a significant drop of over 3% in body fat. I truly can’t thank him enough and am excited to see even more progress ahead.
I’ve been dealing with a recurring shoulder cuff injury for the past couple of years. Rest would help temporarily, but as soon as I played again, the pain would return. My physio identified it as a common shoulder cuff injury, but even after multiple sessions, I never fully recovered to the point where I felt confident.
About two months ago, I decided to join Fit U, and it has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my recovery and overall well-being. I met Sami, the owner, who is incredibly driven and passionate about helping clients recover from their issues while also encouraging them to make meaningful lifestyle changes. My conversations with Sami were very insightful and went far beyond my expectations. He focused on understanding my goals and explained how the Fit U team could support me to truly get value out of the experience.
As someone who had never worked out with weights or machines before, I had a lot to learn. The team at Fit U, especially Sami and my personal trainer Jimi, were incredibly patient and supportive. They taught me how to use equipment, perform exercises correctly, and focus on much more than just posture. I learned about breathing techniques, nutrition, and the small but important details that make training effective and fun.
I’ve always been more motivated to play sports rather than train in a gym, so I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about this process.
However, Sami and Jimi, both former baseball players who have trained others, brought so much optimism and discipline to the table. Their positive energy and constant encouragement made all the difference. Their belief in my ability to improve has been key to my progress.
I truly feel fortunate to have found Fit U. Not only am I recovering from my injury, but I’m also becoming more self-sufficient and confident. The flexibility of the schedule and the personalized recommendations from the Fit U team are things I deeply appreciate. What sets Fit U apart from other fitness centers is their goal to empower clients to become independent and take charge of their health.
With this unique attitude and approach, I’m confident that Fit U will continue to earn the goodwill of all their clients, just like they’ve earned mine.
Good work Studio Fit U. Wish you all the best!!!
I joined Studio Fit U in February, and from the get-go, the atmosphere was incredibly welcoming. I was paired with James, who's very knowledgeable and motivating. He created a program that was perfectly aligned with my goals, helping me improve both mobility and strength, and he was quick to adjust it as I made progress.
During the sessions, he readily answered any questions or concerns and consistently found solutions to keep me on track while helping me improve on my weaknesses.
Overall, it was an excellent experience and I highly recommend Studio Fit U to anyone looking for a supportive and results-driven training environment.
Depuis deux ans, je m’entraîne 2 fois par semaine avec un entraîneur privé, Nicolas Charbonneau, et les bénéfices sont tout simplement remarquables. J'ai pris la décision de m'entrainer pour prendre de la masse musculaire, être plus forte et aussi parce que je souffre d’arthrose de stade 4 aux deux genoux, ce qui me limitait dans certaines activités.
Au départ, je ne savais pas jusqu’où je pourrais progresser mais avec un accompagnement adapté de la part de Nicolas, un travail de renforcement musculaire, de l’écoute et un entraînement progressif, j’ai vu une réelle transformation.
Aujourd’hui, je me sens plus forte et plus en confiance. Je suis maintenant capable de faire de la randonnée pendant plus de deux heures sans douleur, quelque chose que je ne croyais plus possible.
Je suis profondément reconnaissante pour cet accompagnement, et je le recommande sans hésitation à toute personne qui veut prendre soin de sa santé. Un merci particulier à Nicolas et aussi toute l'équipe extraordinaire de Fit U (Sami, Adam et tous les autres). On se sent bien en entrant chez Fit U!!
