Reviews of Therapeutic Fitness and Wellness Centre (Gym)

Heather Bowman

I have been going to Joy for a few years now. My goals were to build strength and self esteem. I have achieved both with Joy's program. I just turned 50 and have never felt this fit. Joy's enthusiasm pushes you to work hard and her continued support keeps you coming back. In addition, my daughter joined the centre as well. She has moderate scoliosis. Under Joy's direction, she has developed a love of fitness and has built a strong core to help counter the effects of her scoliosis.

Joy is the most incredible trainer! She brought out a passion for fitness in me that I never knew I had. Every session reminds me of the importance of self care, and motivates me to become a better me- inside and out :)

Therapeutic Fitness and Wellness Centre is aptly named - it is about overall wellbeing. This private studio located in Welland, Ontario, is managed by fitness expert Joy Tupman. Joy keeps her clients focused both with exercise regime and nutrition thanks to her wealth of expertise in both. There are no shortcuts - you will work your butt off. But Joy makes you want to put in the effort. There is a waitlist, with good reason, and I never want to miss my appointment. If you want results and are willing to commit to her program, you will have no regrets. A stronger, healthier you!

Joy is amazing. When I came to Joy I was struggling to make fitness a priority in my life. I just couldn't workout on my own. If I went to the gym I had no idea what to do or for how long. With Joy, she made it easy. I just have to show up and she knows exactly what I need to do to meet my fitness and weight goals. She keeps me on track and her enthusiasm is contagious. Thank you Joy for helping me look and feel my best.

I have had the pleasure of working out with Joy as a trainer for a couple of years now. She is an amazing trainer, she ensures you are comfortable and helps you set and achieve realistic goals. Joy helped me reach my goal before my pregnancy and worked with me throughout my pregnancy. Because of her I had minimal weight gain and was able to stay active until I went into labour ! After my delivery I lost all of the weight I gained within the first week and was back working out a month later! Any one who is lucky enough to work with her will never want to leave because of her passion and enthusiasm! She truly makes working out fun no matter what mood you are in :) Joy has created a wonderful gym community where every one who goes encourages each other!

Going to the Therapeutic Fitness and Wellness Centre and joining Joy’s program was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Joy is the most incredible trainer! She knows exactly what to do and how to help you reach your goals. Her program is truly life changing.

This wellness centre is absolutely life changing! Joy is so caring, and knowledgeable about fitness and best practices it makes working out fun. She is able to provide modifications needed to accommodate you as well. I have been to many other gyms but none compare. I have been a client of Therapeutic Fitness and Wellness Centre for over 6 years. The energy and sense of community is second to none. This space is welcoming for all and you feel like family. If you want to get on track with your health and wellness check this centre out! Highly recommend!!!! You won’t be let down.

I am so grateful to be a part of Therapeutic Fitness and Wellness Centre! I battle with depression and anxiety. I started working with Joy in 2015. Since then I have found my inner happiness and I am now confident to face each days challenges. Working out is a lot more than just lifting weights, it helps put your mind at ease and has helped me transform myself into who I want to be. This year I have turned 42 and I would have to say I am in the best shape I have ever been in my life...both physically and mentally!! Joy is full of energy and her motivation shows off in the results of her clients!!!! She always sees the best in you and wants you to do the same! Thank you Joy for everything you have done for me. I am definitely glad to have you in my corner!!!

Lori Ricci-Perrotta

Enthusiasm, professionalism and determination are all fantastic qualities that Joy brings to her workouts each time you see her. She consistently gives effective workouts that meet her clients needs and is always there for nutritional support to discuss ways to achieve and maintain fitness goals . Joy’s guidance and workouts have helped me maintain a healthy lifestyle for several years and will hopefully be a part of my life for many more !!! If you are looking for success, give Joy a call !

Joy has helped me live a full life after a catastrophic car accident. I am so thankful I met her some 6 years ago Joy is amazing

Phil B

What a great experience and I definitely achieved my goals (lost 25 lbs. in a few months) and Joy is very motivated to make everyone better. With serious discipline and commitment, Joy's program can be life changing.

Yulia Borg

I can’t picture my life with out Joy. In such short time that I have joined I have achieved such amazing results. I’ve tried everything to stay healthy and fit. Joy guarantees the results. During lockdown Joy was always supportive through phone and texts, if I had any questions she was always there to answer. This boutique style fitness place is clean, always sanitized, fun and welcoming. I did not like working out but I now I can’t wait for my work outs. I highly recommend to check Joy out. Definitely the in THE ZONE ALL FOR YOU experience.

MA Grips

I met Joy 4 weeks ago, at the beginning of March 2021 and I felt like I knew her for years! She made me feel so welcomed and her personality, knowledge and motivation are amazing! I thank my two training friends Celeste and Christine for recommending her to me. They both have had amazing results and continue to train and see great improvements! My goal is to build strength and muscle. I have been doing Sprint Duathlons (cycling and running) and competing since about 2014 and I will be 59 years old this July. The past few years I have definitely noticed a decrease in both my strength and muscle mass and both cycling and running have suffered because of it. I realize at my age losing muscle mass is common however, I also realize how important it is for women to do resistance/strength training to build up muscle and strength! Well, in four weeks I haven't felt better! I'm leaner and I feel stronger already! I'm so excited to continue on this journey of health and wellness with Joy and I have total confidence that she will get me where I want to be! "Stronger, Faster, Healthier" :)

Ana-Maria Bandura

I started with Joy 5 years ago I had lower back pain she help me therapeutically heel my lower back pain problems through her recommended exercises . I highly recommend Joy fitness and wellness center for body building and therapeutic healing needs. Thank you Joy for your honest caring.

Anna-Maria Bandura

Joy absolutely the best trainer you can ask for ever,she has the enthusiasm to push you to the highest version of you, you could ever imagine this is why you will get the best body shape results ever. Thank you Joy for everything you do for the people who step into your fitness center.

Celeste van Rensburg

Please, do yourself a favour, pick up the phone and book your first appointment with Joy as soon as possible. You will not regret it. I've always worked out and trained and I'd been a member at WO for 15 years and had many personal trainers during that time, but never achieved the goals I had set out for myself. I cancelled my membership and focused on my triathlon training instead. However, I was desperate to find a Personal Trainer to help build my strength, lean out and work with me on my nutrition. I was given Joy's details by a friend who has had amazing results with Joy. I do not regret making that call in September 2020. I met with Joy and she made some promises that at first I thought no way I don't believe she guarantees 12 lbs weight loss in the first 3 weeks and 15 inch loss overall within that period. She tailored a nutritional program to my needs and I started training with her twice a week and followed her nutritional program starting September 24th, 2020. The first session with Joy I immediately knew this was different from any personal training I had ever had. Joy's technique and sessions are at a level I have never experienced in all my years of training. Her knowledge, encouragement and personality brings a whole new dynamic to my training. I strive to work harder, do better and improve weekly because of her. NOW for the BIG reveal, not only did I drop 18 lbs in the first 12 weeks but as of today March 29th, 2021 I've lost 25 lbs and I've lost 50 inches overall. I'm leaner and my strength on the bike and my runs have improved so much over the past 6 months. I'm excited and look forward to the next 6 months and more than that I'm excited and looking forward to my next Ironman race in August because I know that having Joy in my corner and continuing to work with her I can achieve my racing potential at the age of 55. JOY IS THE BEST KEPT SECRET IN THE AREA. BUT I WANT TO SHARE THE SECRET. Its not all about weight loss either, the other big focus is mental wellbeing and that's been a great benefit during these trying times in 2020. Pick up the phone don't delay, you will feel good for the day and every day training with Joy.

If you really want to get the most out of your workouts, this little boutique gym is a great place. The improvement in your health and fitness levels can have long-term payment in quality of life. With that said, my entire family works out and we love the services that Joy provides us. Some weeks it is hard to stay motivated but Joy has really kept us moving. She is professional yet kind, patient and understanding. Most of all her cheerful attitude makes the training time go quickly. Thanks so much!

Connie C

Thinking about joining a gym can feel intimidating and we naturally hesitate to make that move. You think that it will be too difficult, or you won’t feel comfortable because you don’t know anyone…. well trust me you just need to walk through that door. After having my first consultation with Joy I knew that this is the place that I need to be. Therapeutic Fitness and Wellness Centre is exactly that, it is workout for the mind and body. Joy makes you feel grateful for everyday; she is so positive and encouraging. Following her simple meal plans will help with your goals, you begin to feel stronger than you have every felt. My only regret is not starting sooner……make the move and start, you won’t regret it!!

Christine Hanson

Joy: Your ongoing support and confidence in my ability to succeed played a key role in my reaching my goals. During the journey, there were many tough times, and when I was at any wit’s end and wanting to give up, it was your voice uttering your constant words of encouragement that kept me going. It was your hand that reached out to take mine when I needed guidance, letting go at just the right time. You have a beautiful gift, Joy. You have the ability to change lives for the better. Your genuine belief in people’s possibilities is contagious. My achievement is a direct tribute to your leadership. You inspire me to be a better me! Christine

Written by Joy's committed client......Laura Chernish "All for you"....truer words have never been spoken. Joy raises our limits to keep challenging us, she's motivated and keeps us motivated, she's dedicated and keeps us dedicated, she keeps our confidence up with positive re-enforcement and her passion is filtered into us to give us the desire and power to keep pushing through. Joy has changed my outlook on many aspects of my life, body and mind in a very positive manner and with positive results. I have been in a gym all my adult life but I needed something more and the results I have achieved over the past 7 months is exactly the reason she is my trainer...I'm in the best shape of my life!! I'm ecstatic to be on this fitness journey with you by my side. Thank you Joy!! "All for you" Laura

Jenna Lavoie

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience working out with Joy throughout my pregnancy. She was always assuring me of the safety of me and my baby, all while continuously building my strength and stamina which most definitely helped me during my labour and delivery. I am excited to continue my journey at Therapeutic Fitness & Wellness Centre only 6 weeks post partum to a healthier and stronger me!

Alex Azotini

Working out with Joy at Therapeutic Fitness and Wellness has truly changed my life for the better. I started my fitness journey with Joy back in 2018 and within 6 months of doing her program I was in the best shape of my life. Her fitness program allowed me to surpass any goals I had originally set for myself by a mile! Fast forward to 2021, I just had my first baby and by 1 week post-partum I was already back to my pre-pregnancy weight. Surely this was because Joy helped me stay in unbelievable shape over the past 2 years (pregnancy included) and the baby weight literally just melted off! I firmly believe she is the reason why I also had a very easy labour and delivery experience - being in shape during pregnancy has so many benefits for a healthy pregnancy and delivery! Joy is the sweetest, most caring and motivating person I have ever met. I love working out with her and if your looking for a REAL change in your health and fitness, I could not recommend her facility enough to you.

Rosanne F

Joy motivates me to keep fit and stay healthy. She focuses on my personal needs to help me achieve my goals. Her friendly and honest approach is truly appreciated. I would recommend Joy for your fitness and wellness needs.

Sarah Heywood

Joy- it has always been something I have strived for and in this season of a Covid “craziness” it is especially hard to find “Joy” in all our circumstances. It’s just so funny that now I’m working out with an energetic, positive, hardworking, and supportive lady with the name JOY. She is so lovely that anybody who is working out under her is bound to become stronger both physically and emotionally.

Pam Ballin

This is a wonderful facility which is very clean and has excellent equipment. I joined last Fall and did one on one classes with Joy and then started doing classes with other clients. Joy is a wonderful trainer and motivator. I would highly recommend Joy and her facility

Angie Tober

Amazing Joy Tupman! There are fitness instructors out there who will Zumba, Spin, Row, Pound... or Virtually Coach you to a better you... and... no disrespect intended to any of those wellness methods, but truthfully they all pale in comparison to fitness training... or rather, fit for life with Joy! If you're looking for results based fitness instructor who will transform you: body, mind and soul... who will inspire, motivate and energize you... who will teach you how to set your fitness goals, and help you achieve results, then look no further than Joy! Thanks to Joy's program... in a very short period of time, I am simply amazed by my vastly improved strength, flexibility, balance and overall conditioning. I'm almost 60 and can't remember having felt this well in many many years. My aches and pains are virtually gone! One hour (group) sessions, twice weekly, fit perfectly into my overwhelmingly busy schedule... and I so very much enjoy the positive and encouraging atmosphere. The benefits are absolutely priceless!!! Thank YOU ❤️ Joy!

Rose Azotini

I realized that I needed to get myself on track as far as my fitness was concerned. My sister recommended Therapeutic Health and Wellness to me. She was always telling me about this Joy girl how awesome she was. Honestly this was the best thing I could of done is join . Joy has changed my life forever and I am addicted. Joy put me on a meal plan and a fitness program that was suitable for me and I cant begin to tell you the difference in how I feel. I have lost some pounds but more importantly I feel so much better. I suffer from migraines and lower back pain. I cant believe the difference and how much better I feel physically and mentally. Joy makes sure you are comfortable and helps you achieve your goal. She motivates me like no one other. She is fun and so energetic she keeps me focused and wanting more. Joy is Incredible and thanks to her for the amazing results I have achieved. Your results will be guaranteed trust me if you want change go see Joy. Truly the BEST!!!

Sandra Marsh

Extremely clean facility and Joy is such a pleasure to train with. Joy's positive attitude and enthusiasm make workouts fun and challenging. Would highly recommend Joy to anyone interested in achieving their fitness and wellness goals.

Amy Numan

I truly cannot say enough about Joy!!! She is absolutely amazing!!! I started going to Therapeutic Health & Wellness approximately 4 years ago and have loved every minute of it. The workouts are amazing!!! Joy motivates you to push yourself and "feel good for the day". I love that she makes you accountable by staying on top of your measurements and meal plan. I honestly feel blessed to have Joy as my trainer. She has impacted my life in many ways. I will always be grateful. Not only have I found the BEST trainer, I've also made a beautiful friend. I promise you will not regret giving her a shot. Go for it!!

Erica “just bc” V

Great experience from the start. After just one day with Joy and Andrew, I knew that this was exactly what I was looking for and what I needed. Its not just a gym where you go through the motions. They help you every step of the way. From fitness goals, to the workout, meal planning, and also a stress/mental wellness, and encouragement. I actually look forward to going back. Its not easy, but easy isn't what I was looking for. You leave there knowing (AND FEELING ) you got this. If you are looking for a place to get a real workout and and all over lifestyle change, this is your place. Done waste your time and money and the standard gyms is you need to feel like you've got your. moneys with. "It's all you"

Kristin C

Words cannot explain how happy I am that I started with Joy at Therapeutic Fitness and Wellness center. I’ve been working with Joy for the last 6 years or so.. and her program has totally changed my life. Not only did I lose 30lbs, I’ve gain muscle, have great shape and more confidence in myself. Joy has helped me get off all medications I was taking eg:anti depressants. My mental health has never been better and I have so much energy throughout my day. I can’t thank Joy enough for everything she has done for me. I look forward in keeping up my healthy lifestyle, setting new goals, and feeling my best! “All for you” ????

Kristin Rose

Joy has the best energy and enthusiasm I have ever seen!!! She has motivated me to achieve my own fitness goals, she is always readily available if I have any questions and she is flexible and always accommodating!! Thanks Joy!! For all u do for so many ppl!

Mary Laewetz

I have been going to Therapeutic Fitness and Wellness for over a year. During that time I have lost 22lbs pounds of fat and gained lean muscle. Though now in my forties, I am in the best shape of my life. This would not have happened without the training and encouragement provided by Joy. The small classes make the attention one receives more personal and individualized, so that you get the results you need, and, most importantly, want. The meal plan combined with her exercise program truly works and will transform you. Joy has given me awesome support to achieve my goals. I strongly recommend this Centre to all those looking to improve their general well-being, or trying to meet specific fitness goals. Thank you Joy for changing my life. Mary
