Reviews of HOUSEFIT PERSONAL TRAINING TORONTO (Physiotherapist)

Housefit is the definition of work hard, play hard. Training at housefit is fun and unique without feeling like you’re doing work. The trainers make the workouts fun and enjoyable and by work hard I mean the diet. You have to be determined to go through with the diet to see real results. Shoutout to Alex and his great team of trainers especially Joseph. I have been through a huge transformation, literally, and its all thanks to the great team!

Alex is lovely. Thoughtful, gets right to it, mindful of injuries. Highly recommended trainer!

Karen Chung

Alex Chan is one dedicated and one inspiring trainer. During my 15 months of training with Alex, he has not only made me stronger and leaner, but also educated me with a lot of nutritional fact and incorporate healthy living to my lifestyle. I highly recommend any of you to join Housefit and train with Alex!

In December 2019, I found myself scarily close to 200lbs and decided to do something about it. For Christmas, I decided to gift myself, my sisters and my niece, (all of whom weighed more than I did) to some personal training sessions. Since my sisters are older and have physical limitations, a typical gym membership was not appropriate. Research brought me to HOUSEFIT and we signed up for the initial 6 weeks of training. This was, without question, the best decision we have ever made. We were only two weeks into our training when the first COVID19 lock-down was imposed. Alex (HouseFit’s founder) took the time to draw up a training regiment that we could do on our own and we continued to work out and follow the eating plan right through the lock-down, until we were able to convert to virtual training with our trainer Ali. Needless to say, we saw such success with the program, that it’s now May 2021 and we’re all still following the program. This is a program that has been successful for 6 people of differing sizes (some over 300lbs with many different physical limitations and dietary restrictions) who have tried every single weight loss system out there and failed. Every single one of us has lost between over 60lbs, (one sister has lost 95lbs) and some are still going. This is the best program I’ve ever found and would recommend HOUSEFIT to anyone who is serious about finally being successful in getting healthy. We are now walking advertisements for HOUSEFIT – we are constantly being asked “How did you do it”. The answer: HOUSEFIT

I have been trained with Alex and Yulia for 7 month. The result is impressive. l have lost 30lbs fat and gained 10lbs muscle. Alex is so patient and he explained everything on how to be healthy. And Yulia is an excellent trainer. She kept all my exercise on the right track. I am happy with my result.

Lyon Eisenstat

Alex and the trainers were very attentive to my goals and provided great personalized direction to all aspects of health and fitness.

After a lifetime of feeling uncomfortable in my own skin, Alex and my trainer Jon have shown me what I’m truly capable of. It’s hard to express emotion through a Google review, but over the last several months my entire outlook on life changed. Seeing this change in myself is something I never could have imagined and I have Housefit to thank. Alex and Jon are extremely attentive, they care about your progress and they give you all the tools you need to succeed. Between the workouts and the nutrition plan, the formula they develop for their clients is something that just works. I’m forever grateful for what they’ve helped me accomplish.

Housefit changed my life. In 2018 I went through Alex's program and lost 40 pounds. I gained 5 pounds of muscle. His system was like no other I had tried before. First I shed the fat, then i gained the muscle. It was easy to follow and I was supported by the staff at housefit the whole way through. My health improved on every level. It has been three years and I am still in top notch shape. House fit taught me how to stay that way. If you want to change your body, go on a diet. If you want to change your life, go to housefit!!

PG Kris

This is just my story, sharing in case it helps others.. could be different experience for others.. So I’ve struggled with weight loss for two decades now.. up and down mostly through crash diets like IF, Bernstein etc etc. Sustainability and accountability were my biggest issues - never felt my body tones, never felt I could keep up over a couple of months max, wasn’t like happy not eating well. House fit has been a game changer for me - have been here since 3.5 months with Rolf who is my trainer. Result so far: weight dropped from 105kgs to 85kgs (45pounds).. I’m half way done and goal is to get down to 70kgs before starting strength training. note: I was 115kgs couple of months before I started Housefit.. so I feel amazing health wise even though I’ve dropped a lot fairly quickly. I think the consistent workout and physical activity is making me stronger. Also it’s so much fun as my wife and I workout together. About Alex: personally for me, he was 100% what I needed in my life!! He is extremely results driven and holds me accountable. He cares about my health and weight loss (sometimes more than me lol). His diet is very strict but if I can manage it, I’m pretty sure many others can (I’m huge foodie!). While it’s not cheap, I think avoiding 200s of ubereats orders offset some of it + it holds me accountable to make health changes (when I’m spending this money!). Lastly, I like that rolf (my trainer) and Alex deeply care about not injuring us, so check regularly if any pain and thank fully have been injury free so far. Thanks Alex, Rolf for enabling a change that means a lot to me.

Sanjana

Signing up with Housefit was one of the best things I have ever done! Alex and team provided me with both nutritional counselling and workout plan that fits my body type. Jonathan is an excellent PT, who always encourages and pushes me to be the best version of myself! I definitely recommend housefit for a overall amazing experience and transformation. ????

Hugh Molyneux

House Fit is fantastic. My wife and I have been going for more than five months now and the impact on our fitness has been incredible. I lost 30 lbs in six weeks, have now put on a ton of new muscle and wound the clock back my fitness and well-being 10 years! Joseph, our trainer, is teaching us impeccable technique in our weightlifting to avoid injury and have us look great. I'm loving the program and would highly recommend it, as it deals with both fitness and nutrition in a thoughtful, balanced and holistic way.

Patricia Salverda

Housefit and Alex were recommended to me by a former client of theirs. I had been searching for help after gaining weight after an illness. Alex explained to me how the program worked and the commitment I needed to make. He then kept me honest through regular checkpoints. Sam, my Trainer, was awesome! Very motivating and kept it "real" for me all the way through. I couldn't be happier with the results! Thank you Alex and Sam! Patricia

Lisa Salucci

I highly recommend Housefit. I had been working out regularly on my own and not seeing the results I wanted. Alex and his team combine nutritional counselling and training to help you achieve your fitness goals. I've been training with Cynthia and she is a pleasure to work with. She's very knowledgeable and motivating and her workouts are always fun and challenging! Housefit has transformed my body and I'm stronger and more fit than I've ever been!

Monica Chen

My husband and I gained quite a bit of weight after getting married. We lacked the motivation to go the gym and our diet was horrible. Finally, after seeing awesome results in one of our friends who trained with Joseph/Alex at Housefit, we decided to go for a consultation. One year later, and for the first time in my life, I have visible muscle mass! I have to say, our trainer, Joseph, is one of the best. He knows when you are capable of more, so he will push you HARD. And, not only does he know how to exercise, he also has the educational background to support his training. As much as we love seeing progress, the biggest takeaway from the past year is learning about all of the different types of exercises to target different muscle groups, so that you can apply them to your own workouts (because sadly, trainers aren't forever). And finally, I learned something about myself through all of this, and that's how much I truly enjoy lifting! Ladies, do not be afraid of weights, it's the only thing that will raise that metabolism!

I was successful in losing weight at Housefit. My diet was customized to my tastes and was simple to follow. Prior to attending Housefit, I had exercised for years but failed in weight loss. Not only did I attain my weight reduction goal but I also added muscle and improved my physique. My diet and exercise program worked out just as described in my initial assessment.

Brian Medeiros

Housefit is the one and only reason I went from being the large, jolly man into a lean, sexy, jolly man. The key to successes with Housefit is their knowledge in the science behind fitness. They did not just give me a diet and a work out plan. They took the time to explain why. Why some foods should be avoided. Why some workouts are better than other. Why some people can do some workouts better than others. No random question was too dumb to be talked about. I was educated not just how to reach my goals, but how to keep living one day without needed a personal trainer. I have been going to Housefit for a couple of years now. From the first day meeting with Alex there has been nothing but progress. We sat down and worked out a goal. I told him I wanted to get my body to a clean and healthy state where I can go out, eat what ever I want, and not worry about gaining 10lbs over the holidays. He showed me how to drop the weight (about 90lbs in under 10 months) then rebuilt my body from skin and bones to a body I am proud of.

FANGDONG LI

I started the program on June 28, 2019, weighing 60kg. I paid up front (along with signing a set of physical damage waivers) and signed up for a 6-month routine of diet and gym routine. The 600-calorie no-salt diet did make me quickly lose 8 kgs of water, fat, and muscle in the short term, but it also landed me in a hospital emergency room for hyponatremia (sodium deprivation causing fatigue, headache, and vomiting). The exercise gave me quadriceps enthesopathy (kneecap tendon injury) and patellar tendinopathy (patellar tendon injury) so I wasn't able to walk anymore. I quit the program after 1.5 months and received a refund for the unused gym sessions. Coming out of the program, I've spoken to Consumer Protection Ontario (a government agency). I wish I had known before entering the program: 1) Personal trainers is not a regulated profession in Canada so there are no set rules, diets, or regimes to follow. 2) Alex being a "nutritionist" is a self-proclaimed title. Unlike a "dietitian", a "nutritionist" is not a certified or regulated professional designation. That could explain why he does not understand the life-threatening danger of sodium deprivation that he imposed upon all his clients. 1) The diet The no-salt diet was meant to deplete water retention in the body for accurate daily weight loss tracking. It would last through the entire program (6 months). My blood pressure was low to start with (120/60) and by the time I quit the program in 1.5 months, it had dropped to 89/49. I experienced various levels of discomfort including dizziness (light-headedness) , fatigue (no energy and only wanted to sleep through a whole day), and sudden vomiting during sleeping (this was super dangerous as I could have died from choking myself during sleeping). My family (e.g., my in-law who is a nurse) has expressed concerns from the get-go. I constantly communicated with Alex (gym owner) and my trainer Maryann. I sent them pictures of lower and lower blood pressure reads. The responses were 1) Maryann: thousands of people can graduate from the program so why can't you? You must trust the program. 2) Maryann: you must "stay clean" or I will report you to Alex 3) Alex: the blood pressure meter at Shopper's is not accurate 4) Maryann: your mother-in-law is a nurse, not a doctor so you should not listen to her 5) Maryann: the Pharmacist at Shopper's is not a real doctor. You cannot intake salt until you get a doctor's note and then Alex "may reconsider letting you take salt". My family worried about me so much and my husband was concerned about the cult-like language from the trainer. Eventually, I was not able to move my body and my husband sent me to the emergency room. The doctor told me that everything I was experiencing were symptoms of Hyponatremia (sodium deprivation). He said each person needs 2-4 grams of sodium per day. Hyponatremia can have deadly consequences. I told my trainer Maryann what the doctor said but she suddenly took a U-turn: 1) the diet was Alex's responsibility "it is his diet" 2) she was a nursing program drop-out so she knew about the danger of sodium deficiency 3) she wanted me to "educate Alex" about the importance of sodium so that "he can learn" and won't harm others. That is when I realized that I had had enough of Maryann's hypocrisy. 2) the gym sessions In addition to the diet at home, each of my exercise sessions started with jumping jacks and then were followed by various squats and burpees because the hips and the thighs are the biggest muscles and are the easiest to burn off calories. By early August (5 weeks into the program) I developed knee pain and could not walk downhill anymore. Throughout this Maryann was still urging me to go back to the gym to exercise so that she could get paid (she's paid by piecework). I took x-rays and ultrasound images and was diagnosed with both quadriceps enthesopathy and patellar tendinopathy. It costs more money to take the pills and the prescribed chiropractor therapies and physio-therapies than the 6 weeks of exercising from Maryann.

Housefit is a fantastic gym! Alex is extremely professional and works hard to develop a nutrition plan that's simple to follow and catered to individual religious and medical needs. While the meal plan takes dedication and can be tough to follow, when coupled with the workouts it leads to real results! The entire team at Housefit is welcoming and encourage you to be the best version of yourself. I've never felt healthier - I've seen clear results in my weight loss and improvement in my stamina and strength! I'll definitely be recommending Housefit to family and friends!

Abishek Viswanathan

To be honest, results speak for itself. In 3 months I went from 32% body fat to 15%. You could probably try a regime at home and start getting fitter - but the personal attention and care Alex gives with a highly tailored personalized scheduled is just truly fabulous. I would highly recommend Alex for anyone who cares about physical and mental health and wants to live fitter. Positives : highly flexible schedule, personalized plan, nutrition plan that doesn’t punish the body, focus on care and the person rather than the business. Alex and all the trainers (Sajed, Rolph, Jonathan, others) are so friendly and invested in each person that it is hard to slow down or quit. The facility itself is extremely clean and sanitized and made me feel very safe.

S R

Absolutely love this place! Alex (the owner) and his trainers are amazing and plan the workouts and the meal plan which is nutrient dense and so easy to follow. Alex is extremely knowledgeable, Rolf my trainer is awesome, he has whipped me back in an awesome shape and stamina. This is the fittest I’ve ever been! I’m extremely pleased and very happy with Housefit!

Madelaine Shane

Housefit, Alex and trainer Masood have been amazing in helping redefine my diet and workout routine. They have been encouraging, professional and Alex is always available for any questions I might have. This program has totally transformed the way I think about food and I couldn't be more grateful! Thank you to the Housefit fam!

Jeff & Joy

Husband lost 70 lbs and wife lost 30 lbs and learned to change the way we look at food, fitness, and health. Alex is a great nutritionist and Yulia (or Julia) is a great trainer! Alex explains the science of his program extremely well! Yulia is all about form and fun! The entire team (Thor, John, Mary-Ann, Cynthia) and fellow clients are like one big family! We highly recommend Alex and his team if you are committed to have a healthy lifestyle!

Zainab Karim

Terrible vibes, I came THIS CLOSE to signing up twice in the last two years and both times after talking to Alex I just got a nagging feeling that this place is all about the money first and then client second. I reached out to him this week after a year since we last spoke, letting him know that this time I'm ready to sign up, and before asking any questions or answering any of mine, he asked if he could send me an invoice. I even told him I was "dying to sign up" and that I just needed some reassurance about my concern. Every single message of his talked about payment, whether it was, should he send me an invoice? Can I settle the invoice before he addressed my concerns? Instead of answering my questions he then went ahead and cancelled the invoice without waiting for me to let him know whether I wanted to cancel the invoice or not. A place that has zero flexibility, asks for all the money up front, doesn't offer any payment plans for clients, doesn't offer the chance to cancel membership if the service doesn't meet expectations... He didn't even agree to a consultation (the first one was over a year ago when I was considering signing up) before having me pay up. Those are big red flags that kept me from settling the invoice both times. I've only attached two screenshots of the message exchanges because I'm not sure what the privacy rules are here. There's another long 1 star review here on Google, I urge you to read it. It's well written and I'd check it out before signing up if I was you, because negative reviews can't be bought.

David Cummings

I'm not sure how there could be better trainers in Toronto, especially for the money, than at Housefit. Way better than a trainer who will just oversee your workouts. Put simply, Alex and his team get results and gave me life tools needed to succeed - simple, practical and realistic nutrition and fitness tools. Alex matched me up with trainer Joseph Park. Joseph knows his stuff, is a good motivator and coach, and our personalities worked well together. Sometimes I hesitate to recommend services and products, but Housefit is an easy endorsement.

Stuie Curran

Literally only went to the place because it was around the corner from my house but my experience there as been fantastic. In 3 months I've lost just under 35 pounds. The trainers are really helpful and clearly enthusiastic about health and fitness. Alex in particular is very patient and understanding. When I first started he told me this wasn't just a fat loss camp but rather a lifestyle change and I was thinking "ah yeah whatever like let's just hit the treadmill" but 3 months in I have a whole different mindset to diet and exercise and I've never felt healthier and more motivated to continue.

Nikol L

I highly recommend house of fit. In 6 weeks I’ve seen results that I was never able to achieve anywhere else. Alex and the team really motivate you and provide you with all the tools for success. Totally worth it!

Frankie Truong

I would 100% recommend coming to Housefit if you are looking for a challenge for yourself. The program that was curated for me was originally suppose to be for 6 months but I enjoyed the sessions I was having with my trainers so much that I extended it for an additional 6. The progress I made wouldn't have been possible without Alex and all the trainers I've been with. Alex will provide you with the necessary dietary tools you need to start losing weight and gaining muscle. I also had a variety of different trainers throughout the year which taught me a slew of different techniques. Honestly Housefit was like a second home for me and I was sad to be leaving after the year

Claudia Mehrabian

The owner Alex truly cares about all aspects of health. He is thorough and keeps everyone on track. The trainers are also very motivating and provide a friendly environment!

Kamryn Chin

I felt guilty not writing a review to warn people so here I am. This is the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. THE GOOD - My trainer just started working there a few days before I signed up and he was fabulous. My trainer asked how much weight Alex (the owner) expected me to lose, and he was the only one that asked, "but do you want to be that thin?" I was not asked how much weight I wanted to lose, but assigned to it, which is not good for body dysmorphia. At least the trainer was the only person who asked me what goals I wanted in order to feel good about my body. THE BAD - Only after one week, I was hospitalized because the weight loss diet plan is NOT SAFE. After many tests (negative for covid, heart test, etc.) and two blood tests, two doctors and the nurse told me it was because the diet plan was dangerous, made my body undergo ketosis and lack essential things that my body needed. I was completely healthy aside from that, so I was hospitalized solely due to the diet plan. I told my doctor what was in the diet plan and he disapproved. I had faintness, weakness, the inability to focus on work or tasks, and I couldn't sleep from the constant headache. THE UGLY - After coming out of the hospital, he did not apologize for his diet plan doing this to me, but rather apologizes that I had feelings. He does not take ownership of his mistakes. He wanted to get me back into the gym while I was still recovering from needing to go to the hospital and wanted to charge me again to make adjustments to the diet plan that sent me to the hospital. Where was the empathy? The owner made me cry and he couldn't be bothered to feel bad at all and INSISTED ON CHARGING ME FOR HIM TO FIX HIS MISTAKES. If you go here, you will be seen as a walking bag of money. I asked for a copy of the contract I signed to review it, as I have legal rights to, and get a copy for when he goes back into the office, but proceeds to tell me he's busy with many clients and that I'm not the only client he has. I was reasonably asking for my basic rights, but he choses to belittle me. Initially, he refused to send me a virtual copy, but after some tearful discussion, he sent me blurry, barely legible pictures of the contract close to midnight. He is so high on his horse he doesn't realize that he is not the only personal training gym in the area. The price doesn't match the level of professionalism or quality. I wouldn't want anyone else to go through what I did. After all that, he couldn't apologize on his own initiative. I sent him a formal complaint email, but that didn't change anything, as I see another 1 star review was left recently. Please, take my review into consideration. Thank you for taking the time to read this, I appreciate it.

Peter Tzanetakis

Housefit goes out if it’s way to customize its program for you. You are not just a client, you are part of the Housefit family for a life altering experience. It is a safe, clean and professional environment. Highly recommended especially during COVID. I have no hesitation continuing my program there.

Jack Ross

Alex and his trainer Jonathan were very professional and provide a quality service. I highly recommend Housefit’s services.

Kevin Li

This place is excellent. Alex knows his stuff, and Jonathan is a great trainer. I enjoyed working with them and achieved excellent results in the time we spent together. Highly recommend.

Cybill Wong

it changed my life. i still cant believe i like weight training and cardio with this program. i embrace veggies i didnt like before. yulia makes sure i dont get injured but at the same time she customizes the workout to my unique health and body shape. alex is very knowledgeable and you can ask him anything.

Ginger Chan

I've had great results with HouseFit personal training! After having my first baby, I had trouble losing some of the excess weight and mommy belly. With the help of the customized eating plan that was easy to follow, I lost 15 pounds in 7 weeks! The exercise was fun and challenging and I have learned to maintain it with a healthy and active lifestyle. Thanks HouseFit! Best personal training in North York Toronto!

elie abrahamovitz

All who trained me were beyond kind during my entire experience with HOUSEFIT. Alex gave me the knowledge and tools I needed to make a lifestyle change that has lasted over 2 years now! At 5'10'', I went down from 195 pounds to 155 pounds during a very healthy timeline. After all these years of struggling with my weight, I have finally maintained an ideal B.M.I. Great staff, very clean gym, and overall one of the greatest decisions I have made in adulthood. Thank you HOUSEFIT!

Jeeda Masoud

Extremely motivational, staff is so friendly and professional. Learned so much from Alex and the team. Love HouseFit!

P C

I met Alex 3 years ago and he helped me change my life forever. He is a dedicated, results oriented trainer, who leads by example and stands by you no matter what. He will not only customize your training sessions according to your own level of fitness but he will also teach you how to eat and lead a healthier, balanced life and reach the next level. He is the type of person who goes above and beyond for his customers and I can tell you that I don't see my life today without him in it. He has become a dear friend who is there whenever I need him. The results you might ask? I have lost A LOT of weight, enough that people who haven't seen me in a while won't recognize me anymore. I have more energy, I pay less for insurance and on clothes (no more Plus size for me) and his direction on how to remain focused and fight for results helped me in my professional life too. I learned from him how to be consistently successful and how to keep myself engaged in our sessions and outside of our sessions, which brought us great results. Alex gave me back my life and I will forever remember his role in helping me be a better version of myself.

kimmy

Worth every penny ! Results speak for themselves. The process is supper simple to follow with regular check ins with Alex and Jonathan and we love that there is a huge focus on nutrition ! The plan is customized to your goals and body type and adjusted along the way to ensure success. My fiancé and I have been with HouseFit so far for about 8 weeks and our results are incredible , even our friends and family are extremely impressed. Prior joining HouseFit , we ate relatively healthy and worked out regularly, but we wanted to take our body to the next level of athleticism while losing that stubborn fat. Alex, thank you so much for guiding us in our transformation journey. To Jonathon our trainer for pushing us to levels of fitness that we did not even think it was possible. Adam & Kim

Becky Harris

I have had a great experience at Housefit. The trainers are friendly and very knowledgeable! They have helped change my opinion about going to the gym!

Chris Tanzola

Alex and Jonathan at Housefit have transformed me and my wife over the past year. Starting in February at very-out-of-shape 230 lbs., I am down to 175 lbs. of muscle and feeling better than I have physically in my whole adult life. My wife has had similar great results (but I won't share her numbers publicly)! We started with couples on-line zoom sessions with just a few small hand weights in our basement, and we have since moved into the gym in a great environment with COVID protocols in place. The diet has been challenging, but the rules are easy to understand and the results start basically right away. You can see the difference that a properly regulated diet and the right kinds of exercise make immediately. Alex measures our progress and makes educated adjustments along the way, and Jonathan keeps us honest in the gym. They are both friendly and professional, as are the other staff we see around the gym, and they have made this whole adventure, dare I say it, lots of fun! Would definitely recommend to others. In fact, we have recommend it to others who are also experiencing great results at Housefit! Thanks Alex and Jonathan!

Mahnoor Gohar

Housefit was life changing for me. The owner, Alex, and all of their trainers are absolutely fantastic. Housefit helps you learn to push your boundaries in all the right ways. I always struggled to push myself on my own and keep myself accountable and that's where housefit made the biggest impact for me. My trainers kept me accountable for my meals - which Housefit helps you plan - and helped tailor my workouts according to my preferences while pushing my limits safely and effectively. I had to move from Toronto to Thunder Bay so I couldn't continue my journey with Housefit but everything I learned and practiced, I've continued to implement and have been in the best shape physically and mentally than I've ever been before. Just remember it's important for you to commit to the program, the lifestyle, and yourself.

Allan Murphy

In the two months I've been working out with Alex and DJ, I've gone from 174lbs to 152lbs. My body fat has dropped from 19% to 13.8%. My overall fitness has improved beyond what i could have hoped for in such a short space of time, and my stamina playing soccer has gone back to what it was five years ago. All this is thanks to sticking to Alex's eating plan (which contains a lot of tasty stuff) and three sessions a week, at a very affordable price. I can't recommend Alex and his team enough. Wish I'd done it years ago.

Ali Nurmohamed

I was recommended by a friend of mine and I must say it’s been amazing! The perfect spot for a beginner with little confidence in the gym like myself! My trainer, Yulia, is amazing! She knows just when to push me a little bit harder and keeps me motivated throughout our engaging and fun workouts. Alex is amazing, super patient and honest and really tailors a plan to your needs, body type and condition. This place has kept me motivated and honest with myself and given me the tools to succeed in changing my lifestyle. Thank you Housefit!!!

Julia Lee

Alex and his trainers are very welcoming and informative! Alex and my trainer, Jonathan were really flexible with me, despite my busy work schedule! The meal plans were simple and straightforward! Definitely recommend! Thanks for everything!

Jay Butler

I have struggled with my weight for my entire life and have tried everything under the sun to lose the extra pounds with no success until I met Alex and Maryanne from HouseFit. I've been on the program for 15 weeks now and have lost a total of 60 pounds so far. Alex has a wealth of knowledge about nutrition and has customized a diet for me that is well rounded, balanced, and most importantly easy to follow. The exercise program developed and supervised by Maryanne is sufficiently challenging but doable even for a complete novice like me. She encourages me to push just that little bit harder but also understands my physical limitations. I can honestly say that HouseFit has completely changed my life. I have more energy now than I had when I was 20, I can go out and do things that I haven't been able to do in years, and people that I don't see very often comment on how much I've changed, not only physically but my attitude as well. I've started actually living instead of just existing. Even my doctor is very happy with the improvements to my overall health. I still have a ways to go but I can't wait to see what the future holds. Thank you, Alex and Maryanne!

Netasha Basra

After a number of years of trying unsuccessfully to lose weight on my own through several different fitness programs, personal trainers and just about every fad diet I could find, I came across Housefit. From the very beginning Alex was personally invested in my success by tailoring a fitness and eating plan that addressed my specific needs. He recognized that I was a working mom of 3 busy kids so the workouts had to be efficient and effective, at a time that would fit into my already hectic schedule and that the eating plan had to respect my vegetarian diet. Within a week of joining Housefit I already started to see incredible progress. Within a few months I lost almost 30 lbs, had more energy, improved mental health and was the strongest I have ever been. The best parts of the program are how invested and focused the trainers are in helping you meet your goals and the amount of knowledge that you gain about fitness and nutrition so you can your maintain results. If you are considering joining a gym, I highly recommend Housefit; it will be the best investment you’ve ever made in your health.

Eric Xu

Amazing gym! Alex is very knowledgeable, and the trainers are super friendly and professional. I got into great shape and made some good friends along the way!

Dmitri Stupak

Signing up with Alex Chan for personalized, highly scientific and results-oriented training was the best decision I have ever made. Several Tough Mudders, Spartans Races and Fitness Photoshoots later, my life has taken the turn for the better (..the MUCH better!)

Paul Lawrence

Alex and Ali are amazing to work with. They really add a personal touch to your training. You gain some much knowledge and understanding of what it really takes to achieve your weight loss goals. I would definitely recommend everyone to visit and join with them. I am enjoying my journey with them and look forward to seeing my end results.

Maggie Wilson

Great place! 100% 5 star, I have lost 10lbs in just 14 days! The key is they focus on diet as well as training. Diet is super easy to follow. Alex the owner is motivating as well as very knowledgeable.

Patricia Inez

Housefit is amazing! Alex and Ali are terrific coaches, very knowledgeable and passionate on what they do. For context, I work crazy hours and have strenuous workload so I find it hard to find time for myself to develop a healthy lifestyle. However, with Housefit, they are very flexible with my time and very accessible whenever I need help. For a beginner like me, I find that their program is very straight forward and I was able to get excellent results in a short amount of time. Losing ~10 lbs within 3 weeks of starting is no easy feat, but I was able to achieve that thanks to them and I still have long ways to go. They also provide very detailed but easy to follow diet program and if you require different food requirements, alternatives will be provided. Same goes with the workouts, they are specifically tailored to my goals, and they are focused on keeping me on track as well as keeping me motivated. Ali and Alex are wonderful to work with and very personable. They go above and beyond my expectations of what a personal trainer would be like before taking on the program. All in all, I’m happy that I was able to find Housefit and are deserving of all the positive reviews posted about them before mine.

I learned about housefit through my friend. Alex is very knowledgeable and his program is designed to help anyone lose weight and reach their fitness goals. He teaches you how to eat properly to help you attain your goals. This is truly the best program out there! I loved this program even though at times it was hard. But it was all worth it. I had an amazing trainer (Robert) who supported me as well. Robert taught me all my techniques and pushed me hard throughout my workouts and answered all my fitness questions. Alex has helped me lose the weight I could not have lost on my own despite working out 6 days a week for years. I recommend this program to everyone! You will learn from the best trainer who has the best fitness program out there and you will get your results! Alex thanks for being so wonderful and always being available to answer all my questions and continue to help me reach my fitness goals.

For over a decade I have been trying many different kinds of fitness programs, nutrition plans and workout sessions to lose weight and stay fit, but was never successful. Then I came to Housefit, where I was able to achieve unbelievable results in such a short amount of time – in just the first month, in fact, I lost nearly 15 lbs and greatly improved my stamina and fitness level. Alex’s training program is amazing: it is highly effective, it gets you the results fast and it is relatively simple to follow. Moreover, Alex is a highly motivational, dedicated and experienced trainer who genuinely cares about your success and goes out of his way to ensure that you meet your goals. He is so knowledgeable and professional that he constantly customizes the workouts tailed to you that maximizes your calorie burning and fitness building. Thanks to him and his team, I have accomplished what always seemed impossible and insurmountable. I would highly and unreservedly recommend Housefit to anyone who needs a change in their life. It is the place where you will get easily motivated and where you will achieve success on your fitness journey.

Eight months later, as I faced myself from the mirror of GoodLife Fitness working on my own, I was to remember that passionate house where Alex and his talent team trained me towards my personal goal. I highly recommend HouseFit for personal training program because they have world class level trainers with affordable prices locating at the center of Toronto. I came here to keep fit and gain muscle. I have trained with Alex, Sam and Danielle. All of them have sufficient knowledges and tons of experiences. I was able to lose 15 lbs. fat and gain 10 lbs. muscles in my first training cycle with Alex's and his team. After graduating from HouseFit, I gained 9 lbs. muscles in my second training cycle working on my own. At HouseFit, they not only train you, but also teach you how to do it on your own so that you can continue to work out and keep fit going forward. I’ve learnt a lot from Alex and his team and now I’ve had capability to train work out on my own sharing my knowledges to my friends and families. I’ve referred some friends to HouseFit. I love this program, these people and the place. Highly recommend!

Andres Crespo

Lost 130 pounds. Alex's diets work and the training with Yulia was effective. Yulia knows her stuff, and ensures you are using proper form. If you are serious about getting results, i recommend giving this gym a try.

Sarah Carter

One of the best things I've ever done for myself! Amazing staff, fun environment, lose weight, keep accountable - I look forward to going every week!

Insung Hwang

Definitely the best personal training in North York. Alex will get you the result! His meal plan & training plans are amazing. I trained with trainer Joseph, he trained me beyond my limits!

Nikko Garingalao

No doubt 5 starts for this facility. I had an amazing time at Housefit while doing my co-op. The trainers are very friendly and easy to talk to. Alex Chan, the owner of Housefit, along with the other trainers like Joseph and Tina really know how to make you feel like you belong there. They take pride in their job and bring the best out of you. They guarantee you results when you buy your training sessions. Alex takes 90 minutes out of his day just for a free assessment! 90 minutes! I have seen many clients change over the 5 months of co-op that I did. The shock and joy in their faces when they realize how much they have accomplished is incredible. Bottom line, just a wonder place to be at! I recommend you buy sessions here because this gym isn't like any other...

The team at Housefit are some of the most passionate and knowledgeable group of fitness trainers in Toronto. At first, I was intimidated by the sheer idea of personal training. I was never an athletic person and I never enjoyed physical activities. Clearly, was wrong. Housefit had a very open/safe learning environment. Anyone could become fit here and you don't have to be passed out on the floor to become fit. My trainer, Kunga, was both informative and socialable. While his sense of humour isn't for everyone, Kunga is an encylopedia when it comes to exercises. He helped me get through some tough hurdles and encouraged me to do even better with every personal best. Even when I was having an off day, Kunga managed to juice out every ounce of will power out of me. The results speak for themselves. During my fatloss stage, I've lost over 25 pounds and got my bodyfat percentage down to 8%. Now that Im in my muscle phase, I've gained those pounds back but with a completely different body composition (less fat, more lean muscle). Alex, the headtrainer, will customize your meal plans based on your monthly results so you know its not just the cookie cutter meal plan you can get online. I reccomend Housefit to anyone who needs a change of pace in their every day life. Whether it be a healthier lifestyle, a boost of confidence, or a sculpted body. Its an investment that will stick with you for a lifetime.

Housefit is great! I have really enjoyed coming here! Very simple process and the diet plan is easy to follow and not time consuming at all. The results have been amazing!

Prior to joining Housefit, I started a weight loss journey using intermittent fasting. I was loosing weight, but it was slow and I felt lousy because I was not eating. The arrow in the diagram shows my weight loss graph when I joined Housefit. You can see the dramatic acceleration in weight loss, which has been consistent. Moreover, I am eating more than I usually do, but it is the right kind of food. I feel so much better. I have also come off of my medications. Shopping for food and meal prep is very straight forward and takes little time. Some of the meals are very tasty-that's coming from my kids who have shared what I have cooked. My exercise routine at the gym has been dialled in by Sajed perfectly. I burn off tons of calories without having any aches or pains the next day-I used to have pain just getting out of bed! Alex has tons of experience and an army of clients who have consistently undergone amazing transformations-check out his website. He knows what he is doing, and can back that up with plenty of results. You just have to follow the process-don't think about it too much and take action! Thanks Alex and Sajed. I'm getting my health back, and health is the first wealth. Now looking forward to getting jacked when the weight loss is complete!

Alex and Ali have been great, the diet has been clear and easy to follow without being too restrictive and I've been getting great results with the training. They have also been great with scheduling and coming up with whole workouts that I can do over Skype with minimal equipment in my small apartment. Highly recommend their services if you're looking to get in shape or make a lifestyle change.

Alex and team are incredible. I’ve been with Housefit for almost 4 months now and it’s exceeded my expectations. Not only do they have their program down to a science, they also listen to your goals and tailor their program/workouts etc to you. What I like most is that they are a kind, caring small business and genuinely want you to succeed. They are not gimmicky – they put in the work so that their clients can see their best possible results. My fitness trainer Johnathan has been amazing – he carefully thinks through the workouts, tailors them to me, is motivating, professional and listens. He also switches around the workouts to keep it fun. The great thing about Housefit is that it’s not just about working out, they help you and evaluate your overall fitness (sleep, nutrition, water intake etc). They help you adapt better habits that will help you be stronger, healthier (body and mind) and that will stay with you for the long run. They are also very responsive. If I have a question about working out or about nutrition or anything else, Alex has always there and will respond with great advice. He’s there for his clients even outside of the times you’re at the gym. After being in a major slump, Housefit has helped me get excited about my goals again – I have not only lost weight but have also become more focused in other parts of my life and have had a confidence boost. It’s really helped me turn a chapter. Would highly recommend this gym!!! Won’t disappoint.
