Reviews of Lean Strong Fitness & Wellness (Gym)

Brianne Bearinger

Ben is a great trainer to work with and has worked very hard to start Lean Strong Fitness. He is very professional as an online coach/distance coach; he responds in a timely manner, provides quality programming and gives great support! I have always appreciated that Ben is a goal-oriented, genuine person and I know Lean Strong Fitness reflects that! Before I started working with Ben, I was confused about my fitness goals, had some unhealthy mindsets and was not working out in an efficient manner. Working with Ben, I have learned how to workout the smart way, how to make concrete goals and how to make progress.

It is clear that Ben and the entire team at Lean String are out to help their clients get the most out of their health and lifestyle goals. I have not seen a group so dedicated to achieving excellence for their clients before. Keep the great work Lean String!!

I recently joined Lean Strong Fitness. I not only joined a gym I joined a family. There is a real community spirit there. What I love about it is the positive, friendly atmosphere there. I have only been there for a month and aready see results. The accountability and support at Lean Strong Fitness is amazing!!!

Every member on the team from administration to trainers are absolutely amazing. It is such a positive and fun environment, my training classes are the highlight of my day! Thank you all for your hard work it definitely shows. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for help with an injury or if you are just looking to get into shape. All the staff are well experienced in all the different exercises/training techniques available.

I began my journey with LSF in the middle of March and can't be more pleased with absolutely everything. I've gone to personal trainers before but they have never looked at the "complete" picture. Ben looks at everything and then develops a plan for you to reach your goals. I am super excited for the first time in a very long time about working out and making my health a priority with their help. It is nice to feel like I have someone in my corner for a change.

The Lean Strong Fitness Team is second to none! I have just hit my 3 month mark ,training with them, and I could not be happier with my progress and their expertise! I have been a member of many "Big Box" gyms and worked with many personal trainers and this is the first time the trainers (ALL of them, not just 1) have really had my best interest at heart! They actually want me to learn to do the exercises properly, taking my limitations into consideration.... Ben, the owner , told me when we first met their goal is to have me not need them eventually... how refreshing! If you are looking for a gym that will help you get in shape with a personalized plan but also will teach you proper technique, healthy eating habits and foster Independence with long term lifestyle changes, this is the place!

Ben is a true gem in the industry and it's incredibly rewarding to see Lean Strong Fitness succeed the way it has. As a fellow fitness business owner myself, I wouldn't hesitate to refer people to him and his team.

I've been a member at Lean and Strong Fitness for about 18 months, much of that during the pandemic. I joined because I'd had a number of injuries and decided I needed to invest in my wellness. The expert coaching and friendly atmosphere has really worked for me and I've learned alot and gotten stronger and more confident in my body. I have been particularly impressed with how Ben and his team have handled running a small in gym in a pandemic. Currently all classes are held on Zoom and even remotely the quality of instruction is still excellent. I happily recommend Lean and Strong Fitness to people looking for new gym.

Great place to get fit and work on any aspect of your wellness. Ben is committed to doing things the right way and all the trainers are great to work with. They want to make sure you are doing things the right way. Very comfortable, non-judgmental atmosphere. A really nice facility, too.

Lean strong fitness is simply the most professional, reliable, and intelligent fitness coaching service in Guelph. As a coach myself, I can't recommend them enough.

Group personal training with one-on-one attention. They start slow and work habits j to your lifestyle without trying to change your whole life. I've never felt better and I've had 3 kids and nearing 40.....that says a lot!

Meaghan Tenbergen

In the short time I've been working with Ben I have been extremely impressed with how knowledgeable and passionate he is about his career. I love that I have the option to do distance training so I don't have to pay for a trainer to be with me at every workout - he gives me a program, shows me how it's done and checks in frequently to make sure it's going smoothly. He's very supportive and understanding of the challenges that come with working towards your fitness goals, all with a light-hearted tells you like it is attitude :).

The entire Lean Strong Fitness team is fantastic! I couldn't be happier that I joined. Ben, Austin, and Pam are a blast to work with as they are always keep things positive and upbeat, while making sure everyone sticks to their plan. It's very easy to see that they love helping others achieve their goals. If anyone was looking for a great team to work with, I would highly recommend you sit down and talk with Ben and the team at Lean Strong!

Robin Milhausen

I've been attending Lean Strong Fitness for 6 weeks, and I started as totally sedentary and with no gym experience. I really appreciate the ways that the staff have met me where I'm at, and I can't believe the changes I've seen. Looking forward to continuing on at LSF.

Ben and his team are excellent to work with. They are very thorough in their instruction of technique and their workout plans are well thought out. They are great at helping me to stay motivated towards reaching my goals!

I love this place. I’ve only just started my journey to fitness but having met all the trainers and getting my first training plan, I’m super motivated. They really have a great overall plan making you accountable for your fitness goals and providing expert knowledge of form and function. Health should be something that is non-negotiable and I highly recommend that if you need help or a little push that you won’t be disappointed visiting lean Strong Fitness Fitness.

Where does one start....2 1/2 years ago, I was looking for a personal trainer to help me get in shape for hiking the Machu Picchu and found Lean Strong Fitness on Facebook...the next thing I was working with Austin and lifting weights at my speed, and coached by someone with so much knowledge, not only with training, as well as my overall health...what I was eating, how much I should eat, sleep habits, life habits and slowly I was able to make the changes for life. Thank you Lean Strong Fitness, especially Austin and Ben! You guys are the best!

Amazing, kind and knowledgeable staff! The personal training I did was in a small group environment which helped to make me feel comfortable and at ease in a gym.

I had an amazing experience with LSF. i started out with a lot of joint pain. Targeted exercises, with the professional instruction of Benjamin Pickard, relieved the pain. Goal oriented and understanding this is a top notch team of trained professionals. I got such an amazing result with Ben. I enjoy my workouts knowing I am building joint stability and stamina and have no fear of injuring myself. Way to go LSF!!! What an asset you are to this community!

Stacey Roberts

Really enjoying my time there, trainers are all focused and very encouraging.....

Sawyer Hume

Positive environment that is very welcoming! Would recommend anyone to try Lean Strong.

Travis Darke

Lean Strong fitness was a game changer for me. I had so much fun working out with the staff and a few of the other clients. I was impressed by how well trained the staff is. They always push you right to the limit without feeling ill or to sore to go to work. This helped me get the most out of my workouts. Lean Strong was able to help me build good habits that will lead to a healthy happy future. I would strongly encourage everybody to train at Lean Strong for a minimum of 1 year. Your future self will thank-you.

Barb Spears

Love LSF. The team is amazing and understanding. New Facility is great , open and inviting. No need to be embarrassed here if you are not in the best shape. They will help you with just the smallest amount of push to reach your goals!!

Cheryl Doran

I've never been so strong or so motivated to get stronger. The Lean Strong Family is amazing! I can't stop talking about them and sharing my fitness journey with everyone I know. Thank you Ben, Pam & Austin! Keep doing what you're doing!

Peter Marshall

Thank you Ben and team for your personal commitment and attention to the overall wellbeing of our health. Your fitness system was a game changer for my wife and I. Years and years of back pain was erased because of your approach to personal training. The care and consideration of your clients, putting their health first, improved our life. Thank you!

Sarah

A gently motivating team that was welcoming to all that I saw during my workout sessions. Austin was engaging with crafty technique, Pam was ever ready with new stretches and ways to adapt your movements and Ben was quick to respond to any situation. My upper body strength doubled in a very short period of time. Hope to return for more sessions at a later date.

Chris S

Ben and his team are really good. They know what they're doing. They deliver on what they promise. It's a fun and welcoming place.

Jason Shutsa

Great team that works with folks. Accepting of teams along with individual training.

Adrienne Blaney

For the past couple of years I have walked past Lean Strong Fitness and finally in December 2018 I made an appointment to see what it was about. I am so impressed with the high calibre on all levels...the staff all come from very schooled and experienced backgrounds as you will read on their individual biog's. As was told to me, the purpose is to get me making those lifestyle changes that will benefit me and as well make them my 'habits'...Their individual attention to you magnifies for me my own accountability...Its more than just a place that works on the physical transformation and strengthening. Their concern covers other wellness bases in our lives.... Thanks!!!
