I never liked gym culture but I founded a gym. Isn’t that weird?
My own love of exercise came from learning how it impacted my mood, focus, and function. I began by asking what I would need to do to make health and fitness habits lifelong. To do that, however, I had to untangle a lot of what mainstream fitness culture was getting wrong — and how to make the profound benefits of exercise more accessible.
In time, I came to learn that people are deeply motivated – no shouting or cajoling necessary – and that most of us can thrive with the right support at the right time. I opened Bang Personal Training in 2008. My wish: for any time spent with us to positively your lifelong health.
We have come to be leaders in Toronto’s fitness community and have endeavoured to offer a mindful, sustainable approach to fitness through our Group Personal Training, 1-1 personal training and small group classes. With us, you’ll feel comfortable enough to get uncomfortable and build the skills and practices that build lifelong health.
Experience working with some of the best personal trainers in Toronto through one-on-one training, Group Personal Training (GPT), and small group classes.
