I have been passionately assisting clients for 17 years in the fitness industry, where I have always enjoyed encouraging my clients to pick heavy things up and place them back down with proper form! I also bring a background of competitive Muay Thai, and love helping any and all improve their strength, speed, power, and overall fitness and confidence through this fun, exciting form of fitness.

I began my fitness journey at 15 as a very overweight, unhappy 328 pound youth; in my first year, I lost 114lbs before transitioning to competitive Brazilian Jiu Jitsui and Muay Thai for the following 7 years, where I retired from competition and transitioned to life-based, muscle specific training. I have truly enjoyed watching my clients grow and change in all of the various ways people can in fitness, nothing is more fulfilling than helping all of my fellow gym-goers reach their goals and, in many cases, surpassing them onto goals that weren't even on the radar upon starting. I truly believe health is wealth, and dedicate a significant amount of my personal time to medical journals that are specific to strength training, muscle growth, and fat loss. Feel free to pick my brain anytime, but be prepared for me to not shut up about it for awhile after, as I truly love what I do and love imparting that knowledge onto others.

It is my job here to ensure all of our members receive the best advice and coaching our industry has to offer, and I have truly believe I have been able to build the best fitness coaching team you'll find here at The Gym on Locke. Myself, and my entire team, look forward to assisting you in any goals you may have, as well as helping you create new ones along the way!

Bryan moved to Ontario from New Brunswick in 2003 and found his place helping others as a personal trainer. He quickly became obsessed with everything anatomy. While owning a local gym for 10 years, he spent his time presenting seminars throughout the GTA on injury rehabilitation and movement imbalances, while also writing a book on sitting and the issues that we face as a population of desk workers. He's traveled across Canada to consult with gym owners and the problems they face, and hopes that through education through movement, we can stray away from the traditional medical model of injury rehabilitation and prevention. He spends his free time with his 15 year old daughter and plays way too much guitar.
