Since 2006 I’ve conducted about 17,000 nutrition sessions with about 3000 clients. I’ve got an Honours BSc in Nutrition. I’ve worked in hospitals, clinics, fight clubs, and in fitness centres. I’ve been a Personal Trainer for just as long, specializing helping new lifters to be safe and confident in the gym. I combine traditional and functional lifting with Pilates.
Personally, I’m a dad and husband. I like to cut down trees and sail. Back in the day I was a decent athlete in rugby and football. Then, I was a underachieving athlete in Jiu-Jitsu and powerlifting, but I did my best! Now I’m fragile and try to live functional and pain-free. I was born in 1976.
Few in the business can match my combined education and experience.
I eat healthy about 80% of the time, and exercise regularly. But there was a time when I was completely lost and unhealthy. So maybe I’ve been through something like you’re going through.

Kalliopi is all about the Mediterranean lifestyle of eating fresh and local food, staying active, and family dinners. As a child, she was an athlete and discovered her love for collaboration and team success. She is naturally empathetic, making her a true coach.
She moved to Toronto from Greece when she was 18, without knowing anyone and only being able to speak very basic English. She persevered and can relate to others who are struggling with change and adapting to new lives.
Moving here caused an accidental dietary experiment (more processed food) and she suddenly valued her Mediterranean diet even more than ever.

John is locally known as “Personal Training Royalty” because he’s been around so long (over 25 years) and is so great at what he does. John works with everyday people and elite athletes, helping them return to activity after surgery or helping athletes break through plateaus and compete on the world stage. John helped Kyle heal when many others could not, and as a result, John has helped many of Kyle’s friends and clients. John has a keen eye to spot movement dysfunction (which will stop healing if not corrected). And John can prescribe the right movements, intensity, and frequency of exercise. John makes house calls and works out of various clinics and gyms in the GTA.
If you want to hear about research, John can talk about that. Or he can simply say, “Do this, instead of that”.
Book a house call, free discovery call, or contact us with any questions!

** Currently on Maternity Leave**
Renita got into nutrition counselling for two main reasons: 1) to help others eat foods that they love while ALSO receiving proper nutrition for their goals; and 2) to have a socially acceptable reason to think and talk about food all day.
No matter where you are starting out, whether you are a high performance athlete or a busy parent with no idea what to make for dinner, Renita will meet you at that level and advance your nutrition.
Renita has worked in a variety of settings including private practice, medical clinics, fitness centres, and she teaches at U of T. Please see the testimonial below and her full bio to learn more about Renita.
Client Testimonial: Renita is amazing. It took a lot for me to convince myself to start this process, and she set me at ease immediately. I noticed that she was quick to catch on to what made me tick, and crafted our meetings around that. I loved that she always asked if there were specific topics that I wanted to cover; ensuring that I got the most out of our meetings. I came out of my six-month program with new knowledge and motivation to keep my nutrition on track, and a year later I still feel her support when I am making food choices. Hire her! You won’t regret it!
