Hey there! My name is Brad, and I am the owner/operator here at LIFT.

While LIFT personal training inc. officially opened in 2020, I have been training clients as a full-time personal trainer/coach since 2006, helping them level up and progress through their fitness and health goals.

And I’ve really been enjoying it every step of the way 🙂

From helping someone get their first “real” push-up, losing those stubborn last few pounds, or just getting someone out of back pain and being able to play on the floor with their kids (or grandkids!), it really is rewarding for me to see how someone can truly change their lives with our service.

I do hold a few certifications, including one with a nationally-recognized personal training certification agency. I also have a certification in functional movement with FMS, and nutrition with Precision Nutrition.

But it’s the experience of having trained hundreds of clients, over thousands of hours, that allows me to help so many different types of people.

On the personal side, I am a happy husband lucky enough to be married to my wife Brittany, and proud “girl dad” to my beautiful (and sometimes sassy) daughters: Eva, Emma, and Madelyn.

And I guess you have to throw in that I’m a “Yorkie dad” as well to our little Biscuit.

I love hanging out with my family, watching my Green Bay Packers in the NFL, and enjoy books, music, learning español, and sitting down for a fun (and obnoxiously bad) drum practice session every so often.

Thank you for reading more about me, and maybe one day we will get the chance to meet you and help you feel strong and confident again!

Hey there! My name is Michael, and I’m one of the amazing coaches here at LIFT.

As a former client, I have experienced first-hand how incredible our training programs are.

And now, as a trainer on staff, I’m able to experience from a different perspective with what it can do for our members, too!

As a coach, I can see on a daily basis how it can make a huge difference for many others, too.

I hold a certificate from one of Canada’s most recognized certification programs, which has equipped me with the skills to help people of all ages participate safely and effectively in workouts.

I genuinely enjoy connecting with clients on a personal level, relating to them, sharing laughs, and providing unwavering support both inside and outside the gym as much as I can.

Besides LIFT, I also run a popular wedding videography and photography company in the area. My goal is to make people look their absolute best on their special day though photo and video, and now I get to help with that in the gym too. It’s a great correlation!

Outside of work, you can find me hanging out with my family, enjoying ice cream with my fiancée (my favourite flavour is mango), or simply relaxing and watching a competitive cooking show like Master Chef.

Thanks for reading a bit about me. I look forward to seeing you in the gym soon!

Hey! I’m Gabe, and I coach many of our small group sessions here at LIFT, plus if you’re looking for 1-on-1, I’m your guy, as I am the exclusive coach and programmer for our private sessions.

Let me start by saying fitness has been a huge part of my life for years. I love to learn, and I’m constantly looking for new methods to bring to not only my own workouts, but with our coaching clients as well.

I love helping people get stronger, healthier, and more confident. Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been at it a while, getting clients results that are real and tangible is what I look love most about training our members.

Because for me, it’s not just about how you look, it’s about feeling better in everyday life, as I mostly focus on strength training, conditioning, fat loss, and athletic performance.

Coaching in our 1-on-1 or small group sessions, nothing beats watching someone hit their goal or finally break through a plateau they’ve been stuck at for far too long.

Outside of coaching, I love running, discovering new trails on my bike, and training martial arts. Plus I’m a real outdoorsman, and enjoy planning my next portage or camping adventure.

Thanks for taking the time to read this, and I hope one day we can meet and I get the opportunity to help you break through your plateaus and feel better than ever!
