Brendan's track record of excellence is backed by many testimonials in the areas of fat loss, pain reduction, and professional athletics. Here is a sample of what some of Brendan's clients have to say...

Pain / Injury

"I was pain free skiing (I usually get low back pain). It was the best skiing I have had in a long time because of the strength I gained. It was awesome."

- Barry Smith, CEO Metro Toronto Convention Center

"I have been enjoying working out with Brendan for 2 years now. My chronic back pain is gone. And his rotator cuff exercises worked great, I can now use the TV remote in my left hand again! Brendan also helped me train for the Scotiabank Rat Race, the CN Tower Climb, and a 6 Day, 100 Km Windsurfing Race. Every training session is different and fun with Brendan's unique combination of innovative exercises, humour, and motivation. Many thanks!"

- Carl Spiess, Financial Planner, Toronto

"I did therapy for over a year, but then one day I met with Brendan, and I have been pain free ever since! I'm shocked at the results, initially I thought it was too good to be true. With Brendan's help, I got to wear high heels for the first time in a year!"

- Shreenal Tanna, Whitby, Ontario

"For over 6 months, I had swelling in my elbow that ran down to my hand. I saw a physio for 8 weeks during that time. Then I saw Brendan and now the swelling has gone down, and I can lift and work at the computer without pain."

- Prasanna Tanna, Whitby, Ontario

"That was amazing, it totally blew my mind! I honestly couldn't believe how weak my left side had gotten. After not even an hour, Brendan brought all the strength back! Everything makes so much sense now in how I was compensating."

- Linda Molnar, Oshawa, Ontario

"My pain was a 10 out of 10, everything was hurting, and it was constantly on my mind. And now my pain is a 0 out of 10. Just seeing Brendan once a week has been unbelievable. It is probably the best thing I've ever done. If anyone is hesistant about Brendan and what he does, then call me anytime (Jim's phone number available upon request)"

- Jim Webb, Contractor, Whitby, Ontario

"BRENDAN: UNBELIEVABLE! THANK YOU! Considering how long my body has been out of whack, this is phenomenal. I'm so amazed that if I weren't living 2400 miles from you, and 25 years your senior, I'd propose. Seriously, thank you."

- Vicki Lockwood, Writer, USA

"After a near fatal car accident, Brendan got me stronger than ever. He's the best!"

- Megan Somers, Post-Rehab Client, Oshawa, Ontario

"Brendan is simply the real deal. He has fixed my shoulder when my doctor couldn't. It's hard to find a trainer that knows more than just regular bodybuilding."

- Friedel Aristyl, Martial Arts Instructor, and Personal Trainer, Whitby, Ontario

"With 1 hour with Brendan, we fixed an injury that all other therapists couldn't figure out. He amazed me with his impressive tricks and 100% effectiveness."

- Dorothy Aniuk, Hockey Player and Personal Trainer, Whitby, Ontario

"You helped me with a hernia repair/groin pull problem. I just wanted to let you know that I feel great... I have played hockey twice since seeing you with no pain... I haven't been able to do that in over a year. Keep doing what you do... you're awesome."

- Michael Scott, Controller, Barrie, Ontario

"Brendan, thanks again for your seemingly magical transformation of my back yesterday. You are a wizard!"

- Joe Robertson, Henry Schein Ash Arcona

"I've been living with pain for 10 years. Chronic hip pain that I thought was arthritis. After meeting with Brendan, I didn't realize how fantastic it was until I got up the next morning and realized that I wasn't doing the things I normally do to compensate for the pain. I told my friends all about it."

- Linda Padfield, Director of Human Resources, INCO, Toronto, Ontario

"Brendan, I have to say that our session far exceeded my expectations. It's been over a year since I could lift my arm overhead (from the side). Now I can do it without pain. You determined the root cause of the problem, and treated it. Nobody else did that. You can use me as a reference any day!"

- Cindy Stockdale, Chief Human Resources Officer, Realstar, Toronto, Ontario
Personal Fitness Training
Michelle Massie

"From my very first work-out with Brendan, my whole concept of what I can achieve by staying fit changed radically. A little more than one year later, I feel stronger, fitter, more positive and healthier. I look to the future with renewed enthusiasm. I whole-heartedly recommend his services to anyone who is committed to ensuring their long-term wellness goals!"

- Michelle Massie, President of Michelle Massie Marketing, L'Orignal Ontario

"I used to think I didn't need a trainer because I'm already motivated. But from working with Brendan I know it's much better. It's so much more fun, I love it!"

- Laila Zichmanis, Senior VP of Sales and Marketing, Toronto

"I have been working with personal trainers on and off for almost 15 years. During that time I achieved mediocre results. I started working with Brendan 5 months ago and have lost over 20 lbs and 7% body fat. I cannot believe the changes in my body, my energy level and my health. In addition to this, I can't wait to get to my workout sessions. Brendan incorporates exercise with fun "muscle games" (competitive games between exercise sets). It is just the thing I needed to keep me motivated and achieve results beyond my expectations. My workouts with Brendan have made such a positive difference in my life."

- Lynn Jessop, Human Resource Consultant, Toronto

"Along this life journey, I continue to learn that you either get "it" or you don't. Those who get it, like Brendan Fox, embody the essence of enlightened, compassionate leadership. I particularly like his customization of each workout, done in a humorous way, which adds a great deal to the enjoyment of "sweating buckets". His wide-ranging and always positive conversation during each workout adds to the experience. A quintessential professional trainer, he is a credit to his craft and I highly recommend him."

- Charles Coffey, Order of Canada
Dr. James Aw

"I used to struggle to achieve 25 pushups. I've been training with Brendan for the past year and a half, and am now able to do a clean 78 pushups in one minute. He's taught me how to train smarter - not harder. With his coaching I've noticed tremendous improvements in my overall fitness and health."

- Dr. James Aw, Medcan Clinic Medical Director, Toronto

"I have been working with Brendan 3 times a week for the past year and a half. I find Brendan to be very innovative, creative, and never boring. He changes up routines all the time. He is not judgmental. I have noticed that he is very supportive of his clients, regardless of what fitness level they are at. Brendan sets realistic targets, and helps clients meet them so that they feel good about what they are doing, and are motivated to set the next target"

- Bob Armstrong, Lawyer, Toronto

"Besides being an incredibly positive and energetic person, Brendan Fox is an amazing trainer who emphasizes the "personal" part of personal training. Whether he's doing research to help me rehab my rotator cuff, creating hilarious workout themes to make the session more fun, or carefully working with me to regain abdominal strength after a recent surgery, he always makes me feel stronger, more energized and ready for more!"

- Beverly Mitchell, Owner of Gardenscape Fine Garden Tools

"Brendan makes workouts much more efficient. I can't overemphasize that. He maximizes the time, I don't need to think of what the workout is, I just do it. And I know I'm getting everything in, in a quick 45 minutes."

- Michael Hatcher, VP of European Equities, Toronto

"You always find muscles I didn't know that I had!"

- Hilary Clarke, Lawyer, Toronto

"What I like most is the discipline. Brendan gives me a new program each week, I do it at home, then we switch things up the next week so that I don't plateau."

- Jeff Kennedy, CFO, Toronto

"I've been training with Brendan for 2 years, and we're still making big strides. The intensity level is much higher than when trying to push myself on my own. It's also the variety of exercises that keeps things interesting."

- Craig Pho, Portfolio Manager, Toronto
Shirley Keillor

"After just one year with Brendan, my bodyfat has gone from 38% to 19.6%. My clothing size has shrunk from a size 16 to a size 8! Oh, and by the way, I'm 65 years old!"

- Shirley Keillor, Real Estate Agent, Whitby, Ontario
Samniang Minc

"I had tried other personal trainers before without success. Then I heard good things about Brendan and decided to give it another chance. I lost 52 pounds in 8 months. I would recommend Brendan as the best trainer out there!"

- Samniang Minc, Chef, Whitby, Ontario
Claudia Pinto

"Since training with Brendan, I now have abs I've never seen before! The stuff he does WORKS, I look and feel better than I ever have!"

- Claudia Pinto, Whitby, Ontario
Ed Buffet

"At about the time of my heart attack, my blood pressure was about 160 over 110, and was 29% bodyfat. As a result of regular exercise and sensible eating, my blood pressure is now 120 over 70, and I'm 19% bodyfat."

- Ed Buffet, CEO Buffet and Company, Whitby, Ontario

"My blood pressure was 70 over 30, and I was intimidated to exercise. The important thing was finding a trainer who understands, and knows how to build confidence. I'm feeling stronger everyday, and am more confident about living with my low blood pressure."

- Sheryl Wright, Retired Pilot, Whitby, Ontario

"Initially I thought the price of having a trainer was high, but I hired one anyways, and came to realize the tremendous value. Since investing in Brendan I have lost fat, am more focused, and have energy all day long."

- Dr. Naresh Kumar, Cardiologist, Whitby, Ontario

"Without Brendan's enthusiasm and knowledge I know I would not have been able to lose 113 pounds. Thanks Brendan for believing in me!"

- Michelle Dovell, Whitby, Ontario

"Before I went on the Brendan Fox experience, I was 280 pounds and had no self esteem. Since then I am down to 200 pounds and am happier than ever!"

- Ryan Sallie, Oshawa, Ontario

"Brendan is awesome. Brendan makes the training fun, but at the same time gets me the results I want. My bodyfat was reduced from 32.1% to 12.1%."

- Tammy Stevenson, Oshawa, Ontario

"I'm extremely happy. I didn't expect to lose 11 pounds in only 3 weeks."

- Scott Boyle, Whitby, Ontario

"It's a good thing I can sew. I've had to alter all my clothes to fit a thinner me!"

- Anya Bungay, Whitby, Ontario

"I turned to Brendan to help me get ready for my wedding - lose some extra pounds and tone up. He created a great program that not only motivated me but also took my lifestyle into account. In only a few short months, he helped me lose the weight and significantly decrease my body fat. My dress maker told me that I had to stop decreasing in size as she could only take the dress in so much! Brendan's enthusiasm made it the process fun and (relatively) painless."

-- Tricia Hough, Director of program integration, Canadian Tire

"Thank you for inspiring me, and going the extra mile. You make working out "fun"!

- Sherry Sharif, Whitby, Ontario
Elite Athlete Training

"The workouts are extremely more efficient than other programs. I would spend one hour in each workout & got far better results than with programs that took 3 hours to do!"

- Matt O'Meara, Pro Football Player

"I like how Brendan's routines are specific not just to my sport, but to the position I play. I like the variety. It's got me as strong as I've ever been!"

- Kyle Koch, Pro Football Player
Fabio Filice

"Working with Brendan, I had my best personal performance at offensive line. I won the overall conditioning award, and it couldn't have happened at a better time."

- Fabio Filice, Professional Football Player, Toronto, Ontario
Tristan Clovis

"My neck muscles were constantly in spasm. After meeting with Brendan, I did his stretches for a week straight, and all the tightness left my neck. On his workouts my max bench went up 40 pounds in the month before training camp!"

- Tristan Clovis, Professional Football Player, Saskatchewan, Manitoba
Jason Pottinger

"I truly believe I would not be playing professional football today if Brendan Fox did not help me fix my chronic back problems. I tried physiotherapy, massage, chiropractors, and I visited 4 different doctors for their opinions, and nothing worked. The pain was so unbearable that I could not sleep at night. I began training with Brendan, and within a few weeks my back pain disappeared. To this day I do not experience any back pain, and it has been over a year since my back hurt last."

- Jason Pottinger, Professional Football Player, Vancouver, British Columbia
Andre Talbot

"Brendan's cutting edge techniques will absolutely leave you in awe. Not only did he get me into the best physical shape that I could be, he more importantly strengthened my mental game. The positive visualization and actualization techniques have also created positive changes in my life outside of football."

- Andre Talbot, Professional Football Player, Toronto, Ontario
John Wood

"Sometimes I only have 20 minutes, but I can go pound out a workout. It's simple. You don't need any equipment, all you need is a 3 by 6 foot area of space."

- John Wood, Canadian Olympic Silver Medalist, 1976, Toronto, Ontario
