Personal Trainer Riverside | JAMFITNESS

Why Riverside Residents Choose JAMFITNESS

It Fits Your Active Lifestyle

Riverside folks are already active:

• Running the Don Valley trails
• Biking along the waterfront
• Walking dogs through Riverdale Park
• Playing rec sports at local fields

But here’s the thing: activity ≠ quality movement.

You can run 5K three times a week and still have:

• Tight hips from sitting at work
• Rounded shoulders from computer work
• Weak glutes leading to knee pain
• Poor core stability causing back issues

Movement coaching fixes these patterns so your active lifestyle stays sustainable.

You Get Individual Attention

No group classes where everyone does the same workout.

No generic programs from an app.

100-minute or 50-minute one-on-one sessions focused entirely on YOUR movement patterns, YOUR goals, YOUR body.

Our studio is at 235 Carlaw Ave – literally at the border of Riverside and Leslieville.

How close are you?

• From Broadview & Gerrard: 5-minute bike ride, 10-minute walk
• From Riverdale Park: 8-minute walk straight down Broadview
• From Degrassi Street: 3-minute walk
• From Queen & Broadview: 10-minute walk or quick streetcar ride

Getting Here:
🚴 Bike-friendly route via Gerrard or Queen bike lanes
🚇 TTC: Queen streetcar (501) to Carlaw
🚗 Free street parking on Carlaw Ave
🚶 Walkable from anywhere in Riverside

It’s Convenient to Your Neighbourhood

Why drive downtown to a crowded gym when you can train 5-10 minutes from home?

Training Options:

• In-person at 235 Carlaw Ave (primary option)
• Online coaching (for flexible scheduling)
• Hybrid (1-2 in-person + online programming)

What Makes This Different from Regular Personal Training

1. Movement Quality First

After 20 years coaching in Toronto, I know most people jump straight to “workout harder” when they should be fixing movement patterns first.

We start with:

• Mobility assessment (where are you limited?)
• Stability testing (where are you weak?)
• Movement pattern analysis (how do you move?)
• Then build strength on top of quality movement

This is why clients say: “Fixed my back pain when physiotherapy couldn’t” and “Finally pain-free after years of issues.”

2. Designed for Real Life

You’re not a professional athlete training for the Olympics.

You’re a real person with:

• A full-time job
• Maybe kids or pets
• Social life and hobbies
• Other priorities besides the gym

Our programs fit your life: 2-3 sessions per week, 60 minutes each. That’s it.

Enough to make real progress, not so much you burn out in 6 weeks.

3. Injury Prevention Focus

Most trainers react to injuries. We prevent them.

How?

• Fix compensation patterns before they cause pain
• Build stability where you’re weak
• Improve mobility where you’re tight
• Program intelligently around your stress levels

The result? Sustainable training that doesn’t break you down.

Common Questions from Riverside Residents

What if I’m already active (running, biking, etc.)?

Perfect! Movement coaching makes your activities better and safer.

We fix the movement patterns that lead to runner’s knee, IT band issues, lower back pain from cycling, etc.

Think of it as maintenance for your active lifestyle.

I’ve never worked with a trainer before. Will I be behind?

Nope. We work with complete beginners all the time.

Everyone gets a comprehensive movement assessment on day one. We meet you where you are and build from there.

How long are sessions and how often do I need to train?

Session length: 50-minutes or 100-minutes
Frequency: 2-3x/week for best results
Time commitment: 2-3 hours per week total

That’s 1.5% of your week for significant health improvement.

✅ Perfect For:

• Active people dealing with pain: Runners with knee issues, cyclists with back pain, etc.

• Busy professionals: Need efficient training that fits your schedule

❌ Not For:

• Bodybuilding focus: We build functional strength, not show muscles
• Quick fixes: Real results take 8-12 weeks minimum
• 5-day/week commitment: If you want daily training, we’re not the fit
