Reviews of Titan Training (Gym)

Destiny Moser

Before I met Matt, I suffered with back pain for 20 years, I suffered with shoulder pain for 15 years, I suffered with knee pain for 6 years and most recently would get headaches that would sometimes last 6 months long. Before I met Matt, I was going to the chiropractor and masseuse weekly just to maintain somewhat of a normal life. I would frequently fall down the stairs because my knees would give out and twice I even fell holding my infant son. About a year and a half ago, I ended up breaking my rib from falling and it was a big wake up call that I needed to find a better approach to my health. I'm only 35 years old, what was my body going to be like at 50? I have now been working with Matt for 4 months. After 4 months of mobility training, I am 99% pain free. I still have bad days here and there, but they are few and far between. I'm amazed that I can walk 20,000 steps in a day and feel no pain, I'm amazed that I can stand at an event for 8 hours and feel no pain, I'm amazed that I don't have to second guess myself every time I come down the stairs, I'm amazed that I can play and keep up with my kids, I'm amazed that I only have to see the chiropractor for check ups once a month and the masseuse is more of a luxury...but most of all, I'm amazed that my path crossed with Matt's. I have worked with many trainers in the past, but no one has ever come close to helping me the way Matt has helped.

I’m grateful everyday for the physical and emotional changes Matt has helped me achieve. Before training with Matt (owner of Titan Training) I was working out regularly but frustrated with my lack of results. Matt’s knowledge and professionalism impressed me from the moment I met him and has continued to do so throughout the past 4 months. Following Matt’s nutrition advice and amazing workouts I’ve dropped body fat, gained muscle and I feel AMAZING! I’m enjoying my journey to a healthier me and I highly recommend giving Matt a chance to help you change your life too!

I've been training with Matt for a few months now & he's without a doubt the best trainer I've ever worked with. I have a surgical pin in my leg so I used to worry about pushing myself too much when working out. But with his guidance, I haven't had an injury & made good progress so far. His positivity is contagious & he makes sure that I leave every session feeling good about myself(even on my bad days). He helped me set realistic goals, feel good about myself through this whole process. If you need someone by your side who goes above and beyond to help you achieve your fitness goals, I'd highly recommend that you meet Matt.

Matt is an amazing person and a fantastic personal trainer/coach. I'm an ex NCAA athlete. I took on a sedentary lifestyle and as a result worsened existing injuries while also adding new ones. The first thing Matt did was assessed my current state and figured what needed to be done to get rid of my back and knee pain. Within a very short period of time I was able to walk up and down stairs without wincing in pain. Matt has been very attentive to the things that work for me and adjusted his workout plans to suit my needs. Not only that, but Matt is a fantastic conversationalist and cares deeply about not only your physical health a but your mental health too. I'm hitting goals, getting stronger, and losing weight and I wouldn't be able to do it without Matt. Thank you. It doesn't matter what your background is. Matt will work with you to help you in any way that he can.

I have issues with muscular imbalances due to scoliosis; Matt has taken the time to design a world class program that addresses these issues while also building muscle and strength overall and I’m seeing tremendous results! He’s incredibly knowledgeable and so much fun to work with. I can’t wait to see where I’ll be in a few months!

Danette Adams

Coming from a heavily yoga-informed time of my life, I never would have even imagined that I would be lifting weights in a gym. Now, after a year training with Matt, my body is more toned, I can run 8K, my mind is more resilient to mental challenges that would have previously been too much for me. Matt's incredible knowledge of the mechanics of the human body, the power of motivation, his strategic teaching skills and his quick and infectious smile have helped me learn the benefits of explosive power training as a complement to the passive stretching of my yoga practice. His training isn't limited to the physical conditioning because he wisely integrates nutrition, sleep habits and emotionally grounding habits like gratitude. I highly recommend Matt to anyone who wants to challenge themselves physically, mentally and emotionally!

Knox Adams

I had little to no gym experience beyond Grade 9 Gym class, and could barely get through 5 pushups, which I apparently had been doing incorrectly for 25 years. I work at a desk all day and felt completely self-conscious walking into a gym full of people who look like... well... Matt. I walked into TheWreckroom about 8 months ago and met with Matt to discuss training options. Right off the bat, he made me feel comfortable in the gym environment and we put together a plan. Whether he's counting my reps when I'm too focused on getting the form right to remember what number I'm at or if he's laughing at me because my physical exertion grunts sound like cartoon noises - I know he's my biggest cheerleader, in both body mass and spirit, when it comes to my fitness journey. One of the coolest things Matt did for me was the way he tailored the workouts and explanations for me. I don't just mean which workout would physically help me reach my goal but he would explain things to me in ways I would understand... well no... first he'd use the really long scientific muscle names but then he'd use examples he knew I would understand from my life. Something he'd only be able to do if he actually got to know me and learn about my life and who I was. Matt, a.k.a. Titan Training, not only taught me so much about exercise, weightlifting and how my body works but he also did all that while allowing me to be my goofy, dancing in between sets, making inappropriate jokes -self. He not only accepted who I was but he embraced it and used it to make me a better, I wouldn't say athlete yet... but definitely a better person who works out at a gym in public. Thanks Matt. Love ya Brother

I have been working with Matt for a few months now and he has been fantastic! He is patient and kind and super knowledgeable and works hard to help you reach your own goals without pressuring you into things you don't want or can't do. He's always smiling and happy and you can tell just how much he loves this work. He is always working to learn more and be better at what he does, and it shows .

Jamie Prickett

Matt is an amazing trainer and makes the hard work enjoyable!! He truly cares about helping his clients reach their goals!

My Man Matt Daciw, Top Master Personal Trainer!!!

Andrew Brown

I have been training with Matt for the past 6 weeks, and have learned more in that time than I ever thought possible. Matt has a wealth of knowledge second to none, and is extremely open to sharing that knowledge with everyone and anyone. He is very approachable and genuine in his training style, but will definitely push you outside your comfort zone (in a good way...not in the “you’ll never want to come back” way!). He ensures that he caters to the needs of whoever he is training, and doesn’t simply use “cookie cutter” programs like some trainers often do. He does what will benefit the client first, and never have I felt that he did not put thorough thought into our training together. Lastly, the term “ego” comes into play when talking about some trainers, but Matt couldn’t be further away from this term; he is an awesome guy and an amazing trainer! If you are serious about results as well as enjoying the process, do yourself a favour and book an appointment with Matt. I promise you won’t be disappointed!

Brooke McCurdy

Matt is amazing! I am recovering from a hip surgery and have been able to get back to 100% very quickly thanks to the time, dedication, and attention from Matt. He always messages and checks in after sessions to make sure I'm recovering well and ready for the next session!

Alex Tibbs

I've always been terrified of taking big steps. I've done casual sessions at box gyms, I dabbled in Crossfit, and I've bought home fitness equipment to avoid taking bigger measures. Nothing worked. Then I met Matt Daciw of Titan Training and the Wreckroom, Kitchener. I'll be honest, sure, I was intimidated. My mind always got in the way of what I was actually capable of. It was Matt that helped me overcome those hurdles. After only a few sessions, I was feeling stronger and lighter. One month in, I had lost 13lbs. I could touch my toes, something I haven't done in decades. But that's nothing compared to the mental conditioning Matt help me with. He made me believe in myself again, that nothing could hold me back, and whatever I wanted was there to be taken! I haven't felt this good in 20 years, and it's all because Matt believed in me. And now I believe in myself. I can't thank Matt enough. My life has changed forever. If there's one thing you can do, it's find someone who believes in you, who will fight for you, who will encourage you to the end. I found Matt, and I will be grateful forever!

Ilya Peskov

Absolute pleasure to work with Matt and his team! Best PT I have ever had!

The Fruitful Investor

Matt is by the far the best trainer ... EVER! I’ve been working out for 10+ years on my own and just couldn’t achieve my goals of gaining size. Within 5 MONTHS of working with him, I’ve put on 18-20 pounds, which I thought was never possible!! Matt has so much knowledge it’s mind blowing. If you want a trainer in KWC, I would highly recommend Matt. It’s worth every single penny!!

Rasol

Matt has kept me motivated and healthy with all the mobility and teachings he has provided me. Im on my way to my goals because of his positive mind set. Couldnt ask for a better role model and friend in this journey to getting ripped!

Dan Siswanto

Matt has been very approachable and motivating coach! He thoroughly explains the steps and methods behind each movement. With his guidance, I've dramatically increased the strength of my key lifts and increased my joint mobility in matter of weeks!! These are attributes that greatly supplements my martial arts training! Very knowledgeable and professional trainer, highly recommended!

helene costa

If you are looking for a trainer that has an incredible knowledge about the mechanism of human body, who's kind,who will push you to be the best of you.You just found your trainer I been training with Matt since June. I started tired, not able to lift more than 15 pounds. Now I'm so much stronger. I can do 110 pounds dead lifts. Matt is not just a trainer to his clients. He's also a friend to everyone. He listens to you. He makes you feel cared and loved. Matt is everything you want in a trainer. Book an appointment with Matt and see for yourself how wonderful he is

Charlie Sarault

I had back surgery in 2016 and Matt's constant attention to form helped me get into the best shape of my life without reinjuring myself. He really knows his stuff!!

Lukas von Arx

My wife and I are working out with Matt twice a week since over one year now. Not only is Matt a fantastic coach but also has he become a great friend. His approach is both academic (I have never met somebody with more diplomas/certificates within his field/profession) and practical at the same time. He feels you out every time you come to training and finds the ideal workout for you. He finds the perfect balance between a challenging workout and being a great motivator to achieve your goals. I whole heartedly recommend Matt.

Timo Vainionpaa

I had a great experience with Matt at Titan Training. My goals were unusual... I needed to be ready for open heart surgery and wanted to be as fit and strong and ready as possible. Matt listened, designed a program for me , initially corrected some imbalances in my form and posture and increased mobility in my shoulders and hips. From there we moved to functional training to increase strength. I the space of four months I lost 30 lbs (very diet related) and added a ton of strength and fitness and was able to get through the surgery and recover quickly. Matt was more than my trainer and coach, he was my cheerleader, my listening post and my friend.

Jessica Law

Matt is an incredible, and I mean INCREDIBLE trainer. He applies his knowledge of the human anatomy to each and every workout to ensure you obtain your greatest results possible. Matt is definitely a results driven man and will push you to your max- no quitters in his training! Not only is Matt and awesome trainer, but he has this amazing and kind soul. If you're having a bad day, or your energy levels are low, he may just spend the time mentoring/coaching you as you proceed through your workout. He truly tailors each and every training session to you!

corby karpowicz

The most genuinely kind person with an unbelievable amount of knowledgeable for health and fitness I know. Would recommend him to anyone at any level for improving themselves. Message him right now and I’ll be waiting for your thank you message in no time ;D

albana bala

Perhaps others have found you helpful hence the reason I reached out but my experience with you this far has been very poor. Poor communication!!! I have been trying to reach out to you for a month with no success. You have asked me to provide you my availability which I have and its been over a month with absolutely no response. I keep getting automated e-mails to fill out the form which I have so by now you should have several emails from me. You also don’t have a phone and the location is so secluded. I feel absolutely Ignored and very disappointed. I hope you read this review and you give your future potential clients your time.

J Hunsdale

I’ve been training with Matt for roughly 2 years, I am very proud of my new body - and that feels great. He is extremely knowledgeable and constantly trying to learn more and more to help his clients continue to improve. Matt keeps the workouts interesting and always finds a way to push me just a bit further. He is supportive and understanding, never judgemental. Matt has shown me that I’m able to accomplish much more than I thought I could. He’s given me the tools to take control of my fitness and health. Seeing and feeling the results of my hard work has improved my work and personal life immensely. Outside of training sessions, Matt, is happy to answer any additional questions or concerns. Diet, supplements, stretching or anything else related to your body and your health, he can help If you’re new to training and ready to take charge of your body or looking to push yourself even further then I strongly recommend Titan Training with Matt.

Neil Simpson

I saw Matt because I was suffering from back pain. The type of back pain that you feel from the moment you wake up and can barely get out of bed, until the moment you fall asleep. It was a gradual onset over 5 years that would come and go, but every time it came back it was worse. Eventually it just wouldn't go away. I didn't want to resort to pain killers for 2 reasons, they don't fix the problem and they are very addictive. Matt took the time to investigate my daily and weekly routines, where the pain is, what makes it better and what makes it worse. After educating me on what the reasons of my back pain he helped me understand what to do to correct what I could. He also educated me on how to strengthen the back so that it becomes stronger. He stared me off on basic strength and coordination exercises (eventhough I'm athletic) and we progressed to more difficult exercises over time. Thanks for your help Matt, I'm now pain free!

EMi Rap

Matt knows his stuff. I found his approach to prioritize proper technique, movements and understanding of how various exercises work very helpful. As we increase weight, intensity and reps i am confident that the programs work for my specific goals and more importantly I understand how the training and my efforts work in balance. Matt is also very informed and has been great at answering questions about supplements and maintaining everyday lifestyle health. highly recommended

Breanna Dunn

I sought out for a personal trainer to help me as I was just beginning a paramedic program and I needed to pass a rigorous lift circuit by the end of the first term in order to continue on in the program. Before beginning training with Matt, I had never lifted a weight in my life. Matt structured a program specifically for me to ensure I would be ready to succeed in my test. Not only is he incredibly knowledgeable in all things about the body and it’s mechanics, he truly cares about his clients and will be your biggest cheerleader. There were countless times where I doubted myself and thought I would fail my physical test, but Matt always had confidence in me and always encouraged me. I passed my physical test and I truly could not have done it without him and his guidance and support. Some other things I accomplished with Matt were being able to do push-ups when previously I could never! We also started deadlifting and 85lbs was a struggle for me, then 7 months later and my best is 200lbs. Training with Matt was an absolute joy and I cannot speak highly enough of him.

Martin Derka

Training with Matt is awesome. I get the personal approach that I am looking for in a personal trainer---he considers my goals, my current capabilities, my life style and other activities, and makes a clear path for me to get where I want to be. I also love the gym. It is has all the iron that you need, but misses the commercial vibe of large chains. And nobody will be playing Katy Perry during your workout.

Darryl Gill

Matt is an extremely inventive trainer. It amazes me that he has the skills to train muscles that I didn't know I had and that haven't worked in 50 years.

Stephanie Klein

I first met Matt about 4 years ago when we worked together in the restaurant industry. Now, he has his own brand and company that is continuously progressing and becoming better and better. He is a great friend as well as a personal trainer whom I've been lucky to train with over the past year. I've moved weights I never thought I could and done movements I've only wished of being able to do. He is one of the most knowledgeable human beings I know and his work ethic is extremely admirable. He continuously pushes his clients past their limits and helps them reach their goals even when they themselves don't believe they can. Check him out as well as the Wreckroom gym located in Kitchener!

Adeel Khan

I came to Matt with pretty bad back issues last year and he’s exceeded all my expectations! My back has never been better and I’ve put on 25lbs of muscle, which was a secondary goal. He’s super friendly and positive - makes you feel comfortable, while at same time giving you the right amount of push to reach your goals. Couldn’t have asked for a better trainer - also doesn’t hurt that he’s a handsome son of a gun!

Sheena Holzamer

I heard about Matt about 2 years ago, meet him and instantly knew he would be a great trainer. At the time I wasn't ready to have him train me. I have now been working with Matt for over 2 months, and in the past 2 months I have seen a huge difference in my body, strength and ability to grow. Matt is NOT like corporate trainers at all, and I should wash my mouth for even typing that, but he isn't "one of those". He is so knowledgeable, and makes sure he works on what needs to be worked on then moves to the goals you have as a client. I can't thank Matt enough for making sure I progress to where I need to meet my goals. I'm 9 weeks in, and never want our journey to end. I have to say, he is a ball of laughs as well, even when you want to curse him you can't, you with laugh the session/time away. If you are looking for someone who will do your body a favour and get you to your goals, personal best or just see the fun in working out, Matt is your guy. Thank you Matt for all you have done and do with me, I'm so grateful. cheers, Sheena

Brandon Girardi

I have been training with Matt for about 16 months now. From our first session, he impressed me with his foundational knowledge and approach. Unlike other cookie cutter programs, Matt uses a scientific method to analyze and provide an individualized strategy to achieve your goals while treating chronic musculoskeletal dysfunction and preventing further injury. I had previous gym experience and felt like I knew a lot about exercise and biomechanics, but Matt was easily able to identify my weaknesses and focus on them to obtain results I never thought were possible. While he will always push you to succeed, you will never feel forced past the point of safety. He trains for a functional healthy body, not just for beach muscles. Anyone looking for their money's worth from a personal trainer should be contacting Matt because you get far more than just an exercise program. Also he's the nicest guy ever and his gym, The Wreckroom, is an inspiring and really fun place to work out!

Nishkam Batta

I train with Matt and he is superb. Couldn't have asked for a better personal trainer. I have never been a gym guy but whenever I train with him, I lift 100s of pounds. He is such an inspiring and smiling figure. Brownie points, he is very strong on technicals and fundamentals.

Jordan Buck

Amazing knowledge of improving strength, flexibility, and nutrition. I really enjoyed training with Matt, he is a very easy to get along with person that lives to better others. Best training I've had and will be starting my second round with him very soon...can't wait! I highly recommend titan training to anyone looking to step up their excersize game!

Crystal Rao

I don't think I can find the right words for Matt. He is just an amazing person inside and out. I haven't been to a gym in a long time ok years lol. I met with Matt to discuss training sessions with him as i suffer from severe lower back pain. I walked in with a bunch of excuses and reasons as to why I won't go. He sat there listened to me and gave me the confidence and courage to get into the gym. I am at the gym 3 times a week. I push myself harder then I ever have. Matt is so knowledgeable and he created a program based on me and my capabilities. I absolutely love him from venting, to swearing at him, to calling him to keep me on track. He is one of a kind, he has helped me so much. He is an amazing trainer who takes time with each one of his clients and teaches the proper techniques. Anyone who works with him will tell you how amazing of a person he is. If anyone is ever hesitant about joining he's definatley the person to talk to and work with.
