Reviews of Tone Every Zone (Gym)

Alysha Patel

This is my 4th month working with Irina. I've noticed a tremendous difference in my strength, endurance and even self-motivation all thanks to her. She takes the time to explain each exercise and pays attention to any underlying issues/prior injuries to ensure optimal success. She is thoughtful, makes me feel extremely comfortable and has a great sense of humor. Irina has even gone the extra mile to bring supplemental equipment to my gym. I leave each session energized and eager to see what our future sessions hold.

Irina is a great trainer. She takes the time to understand your needs and goals and designs a program just for you. I noticed a difference in my strength and balance within a a few weeks. If your looking for a one on one trainer in New Westminster I highly recommend Irina. She was even willing to meet at my early 6am time! Thanks Irina!

I bought the Determined Package for couples for a total of 10 one hour sessions with Irina and I absolutely loved it! After 5 weeks into our weekly sessions, I was able to lift heavier weights and do more reps. I could feel that I was becoming more energetic and my muscles were strengthening. My muscles were also visibly more toned. Irina tailored our workout to meet our fitness goals. She also modified our sessions to keep things interesting. She motivated us to exercise and she knows when not to push us too hard so that we exercise within our limits. I highly recommend Irina!

Lesley Malcolm

Working with Irina is a delight! She is willing and able to adapt the training program to my individual needs on any given day. Irina challenges me and provides the accountability I need to meet my goals. After a few months of working together, I'm at my strongest and most confident ever. I highly recommend starting your exercise journey today with Irina.

Tone Every Zone under Irina has done wonders for my own health and well being. She is energetic, fun and professional. I love trainers that hold you accountable instead of just yelling and making you feel small and shameful. Her empathy along with incredible knowledge of how the body works makes it so easy. If you are looking for lifelong REAL results without any BS then Irina of Tone Every Zone is what you are looking for. Your body wants this, don't keep it on hold.

Irina is an amazing professional and very passionate about teaching movement and helping her clients reach their fitness goals. She will meet you where you are at and take the time to listen to your needs and create a program that fits your lifestyle. She believes that fitness is a habit and inspires her clients to be consistent with their movement goals by making it a priority to find simple and enjoyable ways to fit movement into each and every day. What I really love about Irina is her passion for learning and her ability to quickly make connections and apply her knowledge to make a huge impact in the lives of others. She will not only teach you how to improve your posture, strength and flexibility, but also teach you how to connect with the muscles you are working, from the inside out, and give you the why behind each exercise she puts in your program. If you are looking for a personal trainer who is intentional about helping you reach your fitness goals by coaching you through education and positive habit-building in a fun and meaningful way, Irina is who you want to have in your corner!

I am amazed at how Irina seems to constantly be working on professional development that is reflected in her different endeavours. The restrictions caused by COVID19, created a unique opportunity to exercise that I wouldn't have thought of if she hadn't created her #letsmovenewwest FB page. Her weekly challenges on the group were very positive, and the experience has helped me realize that I need to take time for self-care, despite my busyness as a stay-at-home mom. She is truly, an exceptional individual, and it is so great to have her as a citizen of of our community. :)

Irina is an amazing personal trainer. I started seeing her for ongoing neck, shoulder, and upper back ache as a result of having a desk job. After seeing her for the past few months, I feel so much better, have much more energy, and have strengthened my weak muscles! :) I would recommend her as a trainer any day!

Sharan Brar

I have now been working with Irina for the past 4 months and she is an incredible personal trainer. Her commitment and dedication in improving her client experience really shines through by her fun, focused, and customize sessions she develops for her client. She holds a very strong knowledge base in physiology and movement and shares that knowledge with me in very practical and easy to understand ways. Her supportive and non-judgmental approach to training has made me excited to workout and stay committed to my wellness journey. Strongly recommend as a personal trainer.

Irina is fantastic! This is the first time I've worked with a personal trainer and it's working! My fiance and I signed on with a couples package and do most of our workouts together - I love how Irina gets both of us to workout with similar exercises, but she still tailors them to our individual health concerns. She's very encouraging and is able to keep us motivated without scare tactics. Irina is always adding new exercises and keeps our workouts interesting. I highly recommend her as a personal trainer!

KC Chan

Irina keeps me motivated and helps me look forwards towards my well thought out goals. She understands people gotta live life but encourages you to stay strong and keep the fitness on. I never workedout before and Irina new I was never going to be a gym rat however she showed me a gym can be anywhere from my living room, to a work parking lot (I asked for that one), to a workout playground. She's changed my mindset on where fitness can happen and now I'm fitness'ing in random places at work whenever I get the chance. Thanks for being my trainer.

Kathy Wagner

I've been working out with Irina for six months now and highly recommend her. She created a personalized training plan for me that includes fun activities and a lot of variety, which are things I need. We've played beach volleyball and hopscotch, gone running and stair climbing, done weights and circuit training, and yoga and meditation. She even ran my first 5k run with me! We train outdoors when we're able to, or in my small apartment when we need to. Irina is a master at making great use of whatever space is available. She's also supported me through nutritional and other lifestyle changes to improve my overall health. Most importantly, Irina takes the time to really get to know you and I've never felt like "just another client". She genuinely cares. Thanks, Irina!

Helen Hardiman

Irina is a great personal trainer. She's so personable, and will create a tailored workout program to meet your specific goals. She's positive and encouraging, and I'm seeing results!

Maryann Charbonneau

Over 50 female? Check. Out of shape? Check. Hate the gym? Check. Thank goodness we found Irina! Still over 50, but finally getting in shape and don't hate the gym anymore! So impressed with Irina and how she has personalized the workouts and actually made me want to go to the gym! I highly recommend her!!

Vivien Ip

I have known Irina for a couple of years now, and I'm constantly impressed by her integrity, professionalism, dedication to bettering herself and others. I love her trainer core values, with the first one being "you don't need a gym to be fit" and fitness can take many different forms and we must find one(s) that work best for us. That is now how I choose to approach my own health and fitness. With the emergence of Covid-19, Irina took the audacious step and created the online group "Let's Move New West". She brought together fitness professionals and those seeking to remain fit. There individuals share their resources and ideas and keep each other accountable during these unprecedented times. Thanks to Irina I've gone for my first set of runs around my neighbourhood and I'm making a point to be active every single day.

Irena has a very professional outlook and is very caring about her clients. I really enjoyed my time working my body and tweeking my troubled areas with her. I highly recommend Irena to assist/educate/getting into shape and motivate you. I look forward to having more sessions in the future.

I reached out to Irina with a goal to work on my strength and stamina. Together we have been focusing on core and glute strength, while at the same time toning and strengthening other areas of my body. I have had other personal trainers before but what stands out about Irina is that she really listens to you and really teaches you how to listen to your body and use correct form. I realized that often I speed through workouts and that has caused me to do things incorrectly in the past, causing injury and not improving and Irina has shown me how to slow down and always ensure I’m doing things correctly that result in better gains and less injury. I cannot stress enough how important this body awareness has been for me, both while working out and on my “down” time, it’s positively impacted how I move whether in a yoga class or taking my dog for a walk. I highly recommend working with Irina!

Catherine Caines

Irina is a very professional and highly skilled personal trainer. I have not trained for quite a long time and she was really perfect in helping me to train and feel more motivated. She helped me to develop a habit of training which I really needed. I feel stronger and learned how the mind/body connection is so very important in training and engaging the correct muscles. We also started slow as I had some past injuries. The pace with Irina was great! She definitely works "with you to come up with the best plan for you". She does a comprehensive assessment and does not miss a thing! I would highly recommend Irina as your personal trainer. I think she is truly amazing, personable and has helped me to up my fitness! Thanks Irina!!

Susan Schmidt

After talking about a trainer for years, my husband did some research and found Irina. She is thoughtful and cautious in her approach to individual fitness needs: she'll make you work hard, but not beyond your limit. That said, she'll push you to find your 'edge' every workout with her. This will help you do the same when you're working on your own. My posture is improving, and I started to see muscle definition within the first month. Irina has also reinforced things that I do know, but has explained and made them sensible. Very important: she is present and aware at every visit; she comes every week with a plan. Irina continues her own development as a trainer; I don't see her sessions ever getting stale. Highly recommend.

Brenda Adams

Irina is not your typical Personal Trainer! She challenges the status quo and always looks for better ways to do things, or to help her clients. She is curious, seeks to understand and is fully dedicated to helping her clients be at their best. Irina puts the unique needs of her clients first, always. If you are looking for someone who will listen to you, who will work with you to create a lifestyle plan that fits you and who will always put your best interests first (not her ego or her profit), you need to talk to Irina.

Radu Dragan

If you're looking for something tailor made for you, and trully want to make a change in your life, give Irina a try. Unlike a lot of other personal trainers, she's down to earth and realistic with helping you improve yourself. She always manages to make workouts fun, entertaining and even enjoyable at times.

Sandeep Hundal

Irina is awesome! I've almost finished my tenth session with her, and she's been really wonderful and encouraging throughout this whole process (but also able to kick my butt where/when I need it! ;)). I appreciate that she checks up on me throughout the week (it helps keep me accountable) and she's game for any suggestions or new things I want to try. It's been pretty cool watching myself get stronger (and leaner) with her guidance, she's both super motivating and also very fun to spend an hour with. She's never made me feel silly or weak, and instead provided the tools for me to help empower myself. Would definitely recommend.

Nisrine Banna

Irina is a great personal trainer. She is very encouraging and supportive. The training log she provides is just impeccable! I recommend her without reservation.

Nancy Matheson

This morning I have run up and down the stairs many times with ease and without any shortness of breath. This is exciting because 8 months ago I had to clutch the railing to limp down the stairs due to chronic ankle and back pain, and persistent sleep deprivation. Today, I’m stronger, fitter, rested and in much less pain due in large part to Irina’s excellent service. She provides customized programming that she constantly adjusts to her clients’ needs. She offers gentle but persistent encouragement (read nag where needed). AND, each one of her visits is fun and satisfying. I can't recommend Irina's service strongly enough.

Kathryn Moore

Irina is a fantastic trainer - she really knows her health & fitness and caters the workout to her client's needs. When I went out of town she even prepared a body weight workout that helped me be able to maintain my fitness withiut gym equipment. I highly recommend her!

Julie Prokopeva

If you are looking for a trainer who is positive, dedicated and truly loves what she is doing then you need to check out Irina Almasan. Irina was very thorough and gave me realistic goals. I did not know my way around a gym and really wanted to start taking better care of my health. Irina gave me the knowledge to go into a gym and work out. Irina worked out cardio and weight plans that have me working out different muscle groups...and lets not forget something you will learn with Irina, the CORE!

Kyla Kieltyka

Since my husband and I started working with Irina, we've been extremely impressed with how committed she's been to helping us achieve our goals. She's fun to work with, supportive and gets as excited about our breakthroughs as we do. Not only has she gotten us comfortable in a gym environment and passed on the skills and knowledge we need to stay fit, she's also been in tune with our bodies the entire time and adjusted our routines accordingly. Highly recommended!

Kyla Yeates

I have always avoided getting a personal trainer, but Irina makes me feel comfortable with the level I'm at. We have been working on how to activate the right muscles for each move, and I have really noticed a difference so far with my strength and mobility because of this. We're progressing at a steady pace and I'm actually noticing changes in my awareness of my muscles and my energy levels. I appreciate that Irina tailored my workouts to match my goals and my current strength/flexibility levels. She also explains why we do each move which I like. I also like that she comes to my apartment, and I don't need to go to a gym. I hate the gym. Thanks to Irina, I finally feel like I'm doing something right with my health!

Irina is a caring, patient and understanding leader and fitness coach, and I amso glad to have had the chance to work with her. She takes the time to truly listen and tailor her fitness recommendations with so much personal care. She doesn't push to extremes and is compassionate but very effective in her approach. I remember after a work out thinking "that wasn't too bad"....I even wondered if I would feel it the next day, and I did....in a really good way! Irina is one of the most genuine and honest professionals I have ever met, and I would not hesitate to recommend working with her.

madena mojadidi

I have been training with Irina for about two months now and she has helped me achieve my goals so far and I love our sessions. She makes it fun and enjoyable to train and she is very motivating. What I love most about our workouts is that it’s not repetitive. Irina likes to change it up and make it fun. I also love how she incorporates nutrition in our workout plan. She has some great ideas and tips when it comes to diet and nutrition. We workout early in the morning, and she is always punctual and full of energy! If motivation, flexibility, and a personal approach is what your looking for, then Irina is the right person for you! I got to say after working out for a month with her, I have noticed a difference!!

Sanja Sekulovic

I love working out with Irina!! She is highly effective and knowledgable + we have tons of fun :))

Shelley Wilson-Roberts

Irina is a professional trainer with a warm manner, who works hard for her clients. After working with Irina I feel stronger and more capable of achieving my fitness goals, and more confident in my own abilities. She also has an excellent sense of humour. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her as a trainer.

Connie Mak

Irina has taught me a lot about my own body and how I've been injuring myself. She pays attention to how I move and provides helpful direction on how to do the exercises properly. She is super focused during our sessions and knows exactly when I'm not engaging the correct muscles. Mind reader! I also appreciate how kind and supportive she is. She never makes me feel bad for having a bad week and instead, provides room for discussion on how to overcome barriers. I highly recommend Irina!

Kathryn Shailer

Irina led my online group in the Choose to Move at Home program and truly brought it to life. Her knowledgeable, thoughtful approach was inspiring; her energy and interpersonal skills maintained the momentum. She's a natural teacher, mentor and coach.

Cindy Sherle

Irina is an amazing personal trainer. She took the time to understand what I wanted out of our sessions and customized my workouts to my schedule. She has taught me so much more than just exercises, she has taught me what the moves do and are for. I have learned to breathe properly while weight lifting and she makes me feel invincible! Her knowledge in all fitness and nutrition is amazing. She goes above and beyond to make sure your needs are being met. You are never just client with Irina, you are a friend. Thank you so much Irina!

Leah Nelson

I have worked with a few trainers in the past but never with one as dedicated and personalized as Irina. We are going on almost ten months of training which is the longest i’ve been able to stick to working out regularly and Irina is a big reason why. I enjoy and look forward to our sessions every week.

Riley Nowlan

I love my sessions with Irina! She is such a great listener and has really considered my history with working out and nutrition and comes at our sessions from such a place of kindness and support! She is super encouraging and always makes our sessions fun but also validates when I've had a hard week or am struggling. I am so glad I started working out with Irina!

sun david

My wife and I bought a couples package and trained with Irina, it was a very fun experience. Irina is very knowledgeable and tailors the workouts to fit your goals and situation. We lead pretty busy lifestyles, so Irina also helped us design an exercise routine that fits in with our schedules.

Svea Ogilvie

Irina is professional, inspiring, motivating and continually expanding and refining her fitness repertoire. Having participated in her Let's Move New West Facebook group, I strongly recommend her personal services if you want to take your health and fitness to the next level!

Karen S Nelson

It has been such a pleasure working with Irina, she provided me with exactly the tools I was looking for. Knowing that I have a busy lifestyle (working full time, with two kids), she helped me work on a way that I can incorporate fitness into my busy lifestyle on an ongoing basis so that I can be a mom, have a career and still work towards my fitness goals. She is very patient and so incredible knowledgeable. I also learned that I had been doing squats incorrectly (the way I had been doing them had been putting a lot of pressure on my knees). She showed my how to do squats properly and it makes so much difference. She also helped explain some of the gym equipment (like the pulley machine) that I was always too intimidated to try. She is very accommodating to my personal fitness level and to my schedule. I look forward to seeing the results as I keep progressing. I would 1000% recommend Irina. Thank you Irina!

Laura miks

After much searching and research I chose Irina as my personal trainer. Her core values as a trainer resonated with me and I thought she would be a great partner to help me with my fitness goals. After working with Irina for 2 months I am beyond impressed wtih her knowledge, skill and dedication as a personal trainer and coach. She is extremely creative in putting together challenging and fun (yes! really they are fun!) workout sessions in any environment: gym. park, living room - wherever! She finds whatever it takes to provide excercises and routines that have kept me challenged and engaged in our workouts. She stresses the importance of consistency and personal accountibility and offers support and feedback between sessions to help me stay motivated and on track. Irina has gone above and beyond as a personal trainer. I highly recommend her to any woman or couple who is ready to take the step!

Nicole Sy

With the support, guidance, understanding and patience, from Irina, I’ve managed to make time for exercise rather than having it be a ‘chore’. In less than 10 sessions, I succeeded in building my confidence at the gym and I gained positive results in such a short while. Irina took my initial assessment and created a program that was meaningful for my beginner level knowledge and busy schedule. The positives from my workouts include increased flexibility and less jiggle – my muscles have ‘tightened up’!! Moreover, I’ve been well informed on how to take muscles out of amnesic state!! Irina is super knowledgeable and articulate when it comes to explaining exercise routines (warm-ups, core exercises & weights) and which muscles need to be activated; this is always done in a way that is easy to understand!! I’m amazed with my results and look forward to what more exercise will do! In a nutshell, Irina is down to earth, super organized and always prepared. I love the homework I’m left with at the end of each workout – the printouts are user friendly and the pictures are extremely helpful. I have learned so much about exercise and myself while working with Irina. I will not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who is looking for a personal trainer!!
