TESTIMONIALS

I started training with Johnny 7 months postpartum. He developed a custom program for me that could gradually get me back into shape and at the same time be gentle on the abdominal area. I appreciate his individual approach and flexibility in changing the exercises depending on how my body responded. In just about a month I could already see the result. It was great to have the exercise routine again. Highly recommend Johnny for any new mom looking to build their strength back.

I was very fortunate to have been paired with Johnny as a personal trainer who not only helped re-habilitate both my knees from past injuries and surgeries but also ensured no damage was caused during my road to weight loss and fitness. With his eagle eye on proper positioning in everything I did, he ensured I did not waste one movement on bad form.  He is also too keen to miss any cheats I tried or muscles that were not engaging as he would never take his eyes off my movements in a workout.  He also assisted in trouble shooting muscle strains I had caused from yoga and he would always be involved in the recovery.  Johnny also incorporated proper food and nutrition to my daily life teaching me to balance all aspects towards my goals of a healthier and stronger me.  Very grateful to have had someone so constantly engaged, positive and caring to make this tough journey more bearable and successful.

Johnny Breen worked with me to create a manageable workout schedule as I was nervous about getting back into the gym.He pushed me to achieve my goals, always encouraging;  and a great listener.  If I felt a sequence was too challenging,he had good alternatives.  He takes his responsibilities as a trainer seriously but knows how to be fun to work with.

My experience working with Johnny has been very positive. He is knowledgable, always prepared and has a fantastic, positive attitude. In particular I am very appreciative that Johnny pays close attention to, and finds routines that match my capabilities, which allows for a sense of accomplishment. His approach is tailored to me, rather than one size fits all. Johnny is a true professional!

Every session I had with Johnny, he always pushed me to go the extra mile. I never left a workout feeling as though I hadn’t gotten the most out of it; or that I wasn’t progressing! An utmost professional, Johnny also makes sessions fun and lighthearted. Most importantly, he is truly passionate about helping his clients meet their fitness goals as he sees it as shared success.

When I started training with Johnny in 2019, I was new to gym training or working with weights. Johnny has been a great guide for me. He set up my training routine and was fully involved in helping me reach my goals. I am an office man with long hours sitting at a desk - Johnny thoughtfully incorporates this information when developing my training schedules. No doubt he has been of great value - I have achieved incredible results under his watch. I feel better and healthier. For a gym newbie like me Johnny is definitely the go-to man.

I trained with Johnny for a year before Covid-19 shut everything down. Johnny makes a huge effort to understand what you are hoping to accomplish, what your challenges are and he customizes the work outs to you. He puts safety above everything else, which I really appreciated because the last thing I want to do is get injured. He made sure we spent a significant portion of time on mobility, which not all trainers do and I saw great improvements in what I could do over the year. He makes every workout count and you build on that as you progress. It gave me great confidence to try things I wouldn’t have thought I could do, which was very rewarding.  He challenges you while making the workouts fun and leaving you looking forward to the next. I highly recommend Johnny as a trainer and I am grateful to him for the health improvements I made while training with him.

A back injury while playing squash a few years changed my life. I tried everything - physio, sports medicine, acupuncture, personal training, but nothing worked. After a year of frustration, I almost gave up the hope of playing squash ever again. To keep myself active, I decided to do some light-weight training at a gym near my work in Toronto, and that's where I met Johnny quite by a chance. I wasn't looking for a personal trainer as I had already tried that before. But after talking to him I booked a session with him, fully convinced that nothing's going to change, I just have to accept my fate and learn to live with the pain. Soon after the first session, I signed up to train with him twice a week. After about three months I was playing squash, and three months after that I was back in the house league of my club. Johnny not only made it possible for me to get back into the squash courts, he also convinced me mentally that I could get better. I am in my late 40's and I have never felt this good in my life. Other than being an extremely knowledgeable and dedicated trainer, it is also really fun to train with him. I highly recommend him to anyone serious about their well-being.

I had worked with several trainers in the past. Most had a fixed view on how a workout program ought to be designed, and applied that view to all of their clients. I was extremely impressed with the breadth of Johnny’s expertise and his ability to focus our sessions in the areas where I needed work (lack of flexibility, tight lower back) while still improving strength and cardio. He was also a lot of fun to work with! I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Johnny is a world-class personal trainer. He combines his hard-won discipline as a professional footballer with a can-do attitude of engagement and encouragement. Johnny consistently pushes me hard but always in a thoughtful and safe way. Johnny is always positive and focussed on getting the best results for me, and he really cares about his clients. I really enjoy working with him!

Johnny and I focused on injury prevention through core muscle strengthening and stretching. Johnny has an exceptionally detailed and targeted approach to muscle warm-up and recovery. This focus stretching with strict form targeted core muscle areas to increase both strength and flexibility. Johnny built my personalized program to enhance and improve my fitness for squash. I noticed results with my overall wellbeing immediately, removing my back and leg pain from the impact of squash. Johnny was incredible and I’d recommend him to anyone!

Johnny is a class act. A professional through and through that takes a methodical approach to get you results. I started working with Johnny to help elevate my baseline of fundamentals, regain lost muscle mass, and lower my body fat percentage. All in which were absolutely accomplished. Johnny's expertise far exceeded mine teaching me skills and approaches that I still use to this day, especially his heightened importance on injury prevention. I found that Johnny struck a really good balance to approaching workouts in a safe manner while at the same time pushing you hard with dynamic sets. In addition, he also helped provide me with good diet practices that helped contribute to achieving my fat loss goals. Whether you are just starting off, need help fine tuning or are somewhere in between, I highly recommend Johnny for support in training and nutrition.
