I needed to get whipped into shape and Daniel was the perfect trainer to do it! I felt challenged in each class and that we had maximised our session. I can get bored by repetitive exercises but each class had variety so I was engaged and the classes went by so quickly! Daniel also corrected postures and made sure to provide alternative postures to accomodate for injuries. He also finished with a good stretching sesh and eating pointers which I really appreciated. I've seen a difference in my weight and strength already after 6 weeks. Highly recommend!

The OTS small group training is excellent. It's a small group so you get plenty of individual tips, but the all the fun of working in a team environment. Daniel is an AMAZING coach and makes the work outs so fun (but tough!). I'm feeling stronger after only a few sessions. Would recommend this to anyone who need that extra bit of motivation and support to get into fitness.

Working out with Daniel at OTS has been an absolute game-changer for me. From the intro session, I knew I was in good hands. He does an amazing job of pushing me to get the most out of our time together, and accommodating injuries and weaknesses. He is insanely knowledgeable, and sets such a positive vibe at the gym. I feel so much stronger, just a couple of months in, and so excited to keep training at OTS!

I have been loving the STRONG AF Camp on Tuesday and Thursday mornings with Daniel. The classes are challenging, varied, and fun! I highly recommend it.

I trained here for 1.5 years with several trainers (Hugo, Daniel & Emily) and found it enjoyable. They kept things at a reasonable pace and I made strides with my health. Back no longer hurt, lost weight and generally felt better. I would have continued if the location didn't move. Highly recommend.

I am grateful to Only The Strong Beaches for helping me to find my health, strength, and joy again.
Daniel took such care in my assessment to learn about me and my health goals and paired me with my trainer Hugo.
Hugo is a wonderful trainer; he has created an incredible program specific to my needs and goals. I look forward to our workouts, even the tough ones, because he makes it challenging, and fun, and I'm seeing wonderful results week after week.

I have worked with several trainers over the last almost 15 years. Training with Hugo at Only The Strong is the first time I've felt that my trainer and I are on the same team. When I reach a goal, he is equally excited. It really helps to keep me accountable.

My training program is designed around my whole self, which is very important to me to stay motivated and believe that I'm working hard for the right reasons. The very thorough assessment conducted before I started ensures that my program is not cookie cutter or based on a set of fitness ideals that don't align with my beliefs.

Hugo is enthusiastic, professional, and passionate about whole self health and fitness, evidenced by the fact that he's constantly educating himself and sharing his knowledge. It's clear that the leadership and support he receives at Only The Strong is benefiting his career development, which gets passed back to me.

I would have no problem recommending this gym and Hugo as a trainer to anyone who believes in prioritizing health and well-being and wants someone who is an expert in the field to guide and coach them through.

Great facility, fantastic team of professionals who are truly committed to their clients and seeing them evolve. Being a member at OTS means being part of something bigger and being able to discover your true potential. A 5* team in a 5* facility with 5* fitness programs. Highly recommend.

Becoming a client at OTS has been one of the best decisions I've made, not only for my physical health, but my mental health as well! Apart from using Goodlife in the past, I have no experience with gyms and personal training - so I came in as a complete newbie. I started with the Wellness Starter Program and once that finished, I had to keep going! My trainer (Brianna) was so well-matched with me - she's encouraging, down-to-earth, but incredibly knowledgeable and talented at her job. I'm incredibly grateful for her expertise. And I also do have to say, absolutely everyone that I've met at OTS has been great, including other clients - its honestly an amazing community to join.

Since I have started training at Onlythestrong I can feel my body getting stronger, my energy level increasing and an overall feeling of great health. I highly recommend this studio. My trainer Hugo is professional, a great communicator and very encouraging. He challenges me and I find myself completing sets that I didn’t think I could do.

Working with Daniel is the perfect combination of inspiration and accountability. I’m grateful for the motivation and results. Highly recommend.

I had a great experience with Daniel and the OTS team.
As an intermediate Crossfit athlete and experienced hiker/runner, I was truly impressed by the breadth and depth of their knowledge and professionalism.
Whether you're a beginner looking to get a fitness kickstart or an experienced athlete looking for deep dive coaching, OTS can be a major asset for you.
And did I mention how friendly they are? !

I attended the CanFit Personal Training Specialist course held in Calgary this past weekend. Daniel was our instructor. I work in the legal professional development industry and I have to say that Daniel is one of the most engaging facilitators that I have come across. He makes even the driest of subjects interesting. He began the 2nd and 3rd days of the course with a quick review. I realized after the reviews, how much information I actually took in without realizing it. Thank you Daniel for giving me an excellent foundation to build upon!

I had a total knee replacement June 30 2020. I did 6wks of ohip Physio and in my opinion it was a waste. I found Only the Strong and met with Tatiana. Wow. She made my knee feel great. I felt she gave me the treatment I need vs that other place. I booked additional 6 sessions with her and bonus plan is that my benefits are going to cover her sessions But, the price is exceptionally low. Great all around. She explained things clearly and answered all my questions. Great experience. Thank You.

I have been training with Daniel for almost 2 years and have enjoyed every session! Daniel is so personable, funny and professional. From the first meeting he noticed some things about me that I never even noticed, such as my posture standing and doing certain movements. He gave great suggestions and worked with me in each session to improve my weaknesses. I definitely see results working with Daniel that I didn't see before when working out constantly at a different facility. Other OTS staff are also really friendly and we enjoy chatting after our workouts - a great community to be a part of!

Daniel is the wisest fitness professional I ever met.constantly improving and spreading hes knowledge to others.
Attended OTS Exercise Specialist course and left with much more confidence in my ability to train, assess and do training programing.
Learned a lot from him and I have a feeling that I will learn much more in the future.

From the moment I walked into Only the Strong my experience has been filled with enthusiasm and professionalism. The OTS team has provided my husband and I a program to ensure that we maintain our strength, fitness and mobility. We both highly recommend the Personal Training and Rehabilitation -Stretch Therapy offered at OTS!

Daniel is really a master of his craft. He will help you get you where you need to go. Best trainer ever! Super friendly and funny, really awesome!

I have anxiety when it comes to working out due to asthma and past injuries. Tammy helped me ease my way into working out going at the pace that I was comfortable with. I have increased energy, my balance and flexibility have improved and I've got great new muscles. Tammy is passionate and extremely knowledgeable about fitness and it shows through in the energy and enthusiasm she brings to every session. Her easy going, friendly personality creates a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere. She makes each workout challenging, creative and most importantly, fun!

The Exercise Specialist Course was worth every penny. Not only did we learn about important information to provide your client with the best possible experience, but there was alot of practical components that allowed you to put into practice what you were learning. The course and Instructor were very engaging and it made the experience enjoyable. If you're looking to go from an average trainer to an elite trainer the exercise specialist is the course that you need to take. You won't regret it!

The OTS Exercise Specialist certification was above and beyond my expectations. Daniel, Tatiana and his team deliver an exceptional approach to assessment and overall coaching, still keeping the course fun and engaging.

An invaluable experience! Whether you're entering the industry or looking to sharpen your skills, this course will deliver!

I recently completed the PTS course in Calgary with Daniel. It was an AWESOME experience. The knowledge and foundation in the course was great for self reflection for myself and my own training in addition to practically applying it to other people. Daniel's strength is delivering course material in an engaging fashion as well as being able to answer questions in depth. He takes care to help you out after class. Would highly reccommend!

Daniel and I clicked right away. He's the kind of individual you want on your team, and especially as your coach. I took the CanFitPro Personal Training Course at GoodLife in Winnipeg with him, and coming from a background of yoga and spin, I'm sure he got a lot of deer in the headlights kinda looks from me. However, each time I had a question, he took the time to slow it down, go over, and re-explain the material. That helped me a lot and also shows how much he cares! I may even have to hop on a flight to TO to train with him, cause he ran us through a BOMB workout and I'm still feeling it today! Thanks so much Daniel!

I attended the Personal Training Specialist course in Winnipeg, Manitoba with Daniel Smith of the Wellness Branded Education Team.
Overall the weekend was a great success, I went in feeling a bit overwhelmed and left the weekend feeling excited for the next steps. Daniel is very knowledgeable and energetic which I found helpful by making everything we covered a bit more interactive!
I look forward to more possibilities to learn with Daniel and Tatiana in the future.

My Personal Trainer Course at GoodLife Fitness in Winnipeg Manitoba. Daniel Smith, of the Wellness Branded Education Team was excellent, he helped me strengthen the areas I am weak and I learned a tonne this weekend. I look forward to more opportunities to learn with him and Tatiana. The group I attended the course with was very interactive and positive. There was a lot of support and smiling faces everyday. I enjoyed working and learning with them. A great experience all around!

I attended the PTS certification course in Winnipeg this past weekend with Daniel Smith from the Wellness Branded team.
Daniel brought his energy to class, and made learning fun and enjoyable.

I found myself pushed to new limits, and I walked out of class with concepts that I never anticipated.

Daniel is such an awesome teacher! I took the course in Winnipeg, and the experience is very interesting. He always uses a fun way to let us understand the knowledges and theories. It makes us understand things easily! Also he always makes sure everyone in the class catch on his lead. Over all I learn a lot and had a great time!

Daniel is very knowledgeable and he sets up the work out based on your goals and your abilities to make you improv fast without hurting yourself, He is also fun and make the work out easy and fun. Thank you.

Daniel is great! I went to his classes not knowing a lot about fitness and walked out with a great understanding about fitness and wellbeing. Daniel is such a postivite and highly energetic person, Daniel will never fail to bring a smile on your face. He is a great teacher as well and he makes learning fun. I highly recommend taking a class with Daniel.

I took a CanFit pro personal trainer course from Daniel in Winnipeg. It was a very informative course. Daniel's extensive background knowledge and ability to keep the class engaged was awesome. Defintiely recommend taking courses or being trained by this group!

I took the canfitpro PTS course with Daniel Smith (Wellness Branded Education Team) this weekend in Winnipeg and had an amazing time! The theory time was informative and the practical was so useful!

Great course this past weekend, I highly recommend it if you want to further your career in strength and conditioning.

Daniel was a great instructor through this course. He worked with me in Winnipeg mb. He really knew what he was talking about & really helped when I needed to understand something.

I did 12 personal training sessions with Daniel after meeting him through my own personal training certification process and what I learned and gained from our sessions has been invaluable. Beyond his professionalism (he was timely, prepared, EXTREMELY knowledgeable, and not to mention has the best memory I have ever encountered), Daniel’s expertise and passion for teaching, exercising, and training was evident as he constantly explained to me the techniques and purpose behind everything we did. He was patient, clearly considered all of my personal preferences and needs, and he was always open to answering any and all of my questions and concerns, including being available outside of sessions via email and social media.

After working with Daniel I feel more confident in my abilities not only to train other people but also to plan and perform my own personalized workouts with the most efficiency and correct form in order to maximize results and prevent injury. There are so many nuances in fitness that Daniel taught me that will stick with me throughout my fitness journey. His approach was different from any trainer I have ever encountered (and I know MANY!) —without ignoring physique goals, Daniel emphasized the importance of muscle activation, mobility, flexibility, and taught me many tips and tricks on how to treat areas of tightness, discomfort, and pain. I also had one soft tissue massage with Tatiana who was also a pleasure to meet and provided me with many helpful exercises.

There is so much more I could say BUT I will keep it short and sweet. My time with Daniel and Only The Strong was worth every penny and I would 100% recommend. I will definitely be signing up for more services/workshops/courses in the future

Upon attending the PTS certification course at OnlyTheStrong, I expected to learn various aspects of personal training and fitness. Our course instructor Daniel however, managed to go above and beyond by not only showing us what we are capable of, and what to look forward to, but even helped me regain proper mobility and strength in my right shoulder. In just a short time (literally 10 minutes), Daniel fixed my clicking shoulder that I had been struggling with for about over a year! The odd sound was gone, my strength had improved, and I even regained some feeling in the right side of my back. I would highly recommend seeing Daniel not just to learn about what is possible, but to actually see results and make it happen.

The onlythestrong team is great! The team is friendly and knowledgeable, and their attention to detail will definitely yield positive results. Daniel has an infectious personality and is a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend if you're looking to enhance your health and fitness education.

Highly recommended. Daniel is great! I've worked with personal trainers before, and Daniel is first class. He's very knowledgeable of all aspects of the business.

I attended a 3-day personal training course at Only The Strong, locates kn Scarborough, ON this past weekend. During the course, some participants became subjects and I was lucky enough to be treated by Daniel for some pain I’ve been experiencing in my left glute and hamstring for some time now. After a few quick exercises/movements of my ankles and hips, my pain and range of motion in my lower body changed immediately. Daniel’s disposition is so personable and friendly and his knowledge is so vast making him probably one of the most knowledgeable individuals I have met in the fitness community. I would recommend Daniel in a heartbeat.

Cheers!

A superb facility with even better people. Daniel conducted my canfitpro exam and taught me a lot in the process. His knowledge and delivery makes for a fantastic experience. I would highly recommend him as a coach and a teacher.

I took two seminars at onlythestronginc. Both seminars were incredible, coming in knowing very little and walking out feeling very confident. The staff there are super friendly and willing to help! Highly recommended for all training types.
