AJF CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

---

I hope semi private training is a permanent option because I think it’s fantastic. I’ve done a lot of different group exercise classes over the years and I personally feel this is the most beneficial and results driven approach to group fitness training. 

SPT does a great job of striking a balance between group and individual training with respect to class size to coach ratio. It also takes into account progressive overload and the need to change up workouts every so often. I find that this has been the most beneficial group setting exercise class I’ve been too because it is results driven, meaning we can see progress in the week to week workouts because we are building strength vs just focusing on HIIT ( time and place for this type of workout). 

I find that everyone is engaged and the smaller atmosphere mirrors that of a “team” dynamic which some of us thrive off of ;). I love the class size to coach ratio and how it’s similar to one-on-one personal training but with a group. Again SPT doesn’t loose sight of the overall goal of building muscle which HIIT style workouts can’t always give you overtime. I find that the SPT gives you the results you want to see and you feel badass lifting all these heavy weights. 

Overall it’s been a great experience and [Kaitlyn] is a great coach - [she] really pushes us but also respects if we need a minute to go easy on ourselves due to being sick/ injury or even coming back from holidays.

I started working with AJF in April of 2020 and let me just say that I absolutely LOVE working with my coach! She trained a friend of mine from college and I was amazed with the results my friend had so I wanted to give it a whirl.

I have always struggled with losing weight. My AJF coach has been super helpful and has become a friend to me. When I first started working with her I intended on just working with her for a few months until I got the hang of things but here we are almost 4 months in and I do not plan on leaving her any time soon! Although I have not lost many pounds on the scale, I have seen a huge difference in my body! I feel stronger, look stronger and I feel pretty again! 

4 months in, I am doing 5 workout sessions a week, cardio 5x a week plus I do a daily 20-minute walk everyday! My coach is ALWAYS there to support me whenever I need it. I can literally message her whenever I need a change, whether it is regarding my meal plan or my workouts. She is ALWAYS honest and that is what I love most about her! Having the accountability and having our weekly check ins makes is a key factor to my progress…I never want to let her down! 

One of the best things about working with AJF is that they ALWAYS pushes me to do my best and is always so positive! My coach reminds me that it is okay to be human and make mistakes, my favourite line from her is “Its okay to make mistakes, as long as the next day you get up and get back to your normal routine. You won’t lose progress.” I had a rough go at the beginning of my journey because my home life was very negative and if it weren’t for my coach pushing me and being so helpful, sympathetic, and positive I wouldn’t be where I am today! 

You will NOT regret working with AJF if you start your journey with her! They are the best of the best!

I started training with AJF a few months after graduating from university. I had started my first desk job, which was stressful and sedentary. It was a big change in lifestyle and I quickly gained 10lb. I joined a gym and signed up for a free personal training session. This is where I met my now coach!

Within 30 minutes, she had pinpointed my strengths and my many weaknesses, or “opportunities for growth” as she would say. She quickly identify all the exercises I have struggled with my whole life (squats, lunging, deadlifts) and, WHY I personally had always struggled with them. In her cheery way she went on to discuss HOW we could work together to improve them. I decided to invest in the personal training session and invest in myself and I have had no regrets. Personal training with AJF was the best investment I have ever made!

My coach has helped me become stronger, healthier, and overall happier (also lost that 10lbs!). I love her educational tips, creative programing (always challenging, but effective), and constant positive encouragement. She works with me to develop goals and learn how to achieve them. She has helped me build a lifestyle that is healthy and sustainable. She can’t do it all for you, but she will be there to motivate you and provide you with all the resources you need to get there. Her passion, dedication, and genuine kindness is an inspiration. So thankful I got started!

I have a great deal of respect for Amanda, she has so much energy and dedication to her sessions, she really gives her all. Even if you are feeling down, her energy will lift you back up and makes you be your most productive during your session.

AJF has helped me lose around 12 pounds since I joined last year, and I cannot be happier with the results. Amanda helps you improve your form while gradually increasing your weight. By increasing the weights in such a knowledgeable manner, you are able to make good progress and know that you are not hurting yourself. In the beginning, I had trouble with my knees. 

Having Amanda's help has not only relieved my pain in my legs, but also made me stronger and I can see improvements every day in my legs. She's a competent, skilled, and knowledgeable individual who has your best interest at heart and is committed to helping you improve your health and strength.

I’ve had the opportunity to work with AJF for 3 months, and I can really say my life is transformed. Not only is my coach very kind and super supportive, she has been a huge contributing factor to my health journey.

Before starting out with her I was not happy in my body, had poor eating habits, low energy, and my hormones were not good what so ever. After working with her I can say that ALL that aspects of my life have significantly improved and my health has skyrocketed!! My hormone health  has changed so much that I don’t even remember feeling so good during that time of month!!

I’m beyond grateful to have my coach at AJF as a trainer and friend, and I can’t thank her enough for helping and supporting me on my lifestyle change!!

I have been working with Amanda for over a year at this point and I honestly cannot say enough good things about my entire time with her and the relationship that we’ve built seemingly effortlessly! 

I came to her after having worked with another online coach that I didn’t feel was meeting my needs well and we just did not mesh – this was NOT the case with Amanda who is so personable, approachable and non-judgemental! Since the very very beginning she was responsive to my questions, supportive, clear, concise and so SO knowledgeable!! I never have any doubt that she has my best interest and my optimal health at heart ALWAYS and is giving information that is well-founded in science. 

She has also truly made such a difference on my mindset and mental health in general with consistent and caring support instead of your typical “just follow the plan” feedback. Amanda has always been there in-between check-ins, is amazing at the speed with which she provides the check-in feedback, does not set goals that are outside the reach of where I am at, asks lots of questions about how I’m doing so she can understand better and provide better support, and I could obviously go on and on BUT just ALL THE POSITIVE THINGS you would want in a coach, she embodies!! 

 With all of her support and guidance I feel so much more confident and comfortable in my body as well as having an improved relationship with food that allows me to still hit my goals while incorporating more flexibility into my life!

 Needless to say, I highly recommend working with Amanda! It will be the best decision you ever make! 

As a Personal Trainer and Fitness coach myself, I decided to invest more into my business, and my own fitness goals, and I did this by hiring a coach at AJF. Her knowledge about how the body responds to different stimulus (eg. Caloric intake and energy output) is amazing. She really does know her stuff. I can always count on her to be my cheerleader, always in my corner wanting me to succeed.

We have been working together for almost a year now, and she is taking me through my very first Bikini Competition prep! My coach is always willing to answer any questions that I have whether it be my own business, or anything related to my program and my macro goals. I would recommend AJF to anyone, especially if you are looking to work with an extremely experienced, passionate coach who has an amazing attitude, and will have your back through it all!

Amanda and I have been training together for nearly three years and the time has flown by. The first training session together I had not been in the gym for years and was pretty hard on my body lifestyle wise. Amanda is great with beginners and keeps all workouts challenging enough that you do not even realize how quickly you have improved. I used to find the gym daunting and now it feels like a second home. Amanda is incredibly accommodating and curates all workouts to your own specific goals.

Most importantly Amanda has become an incredible friend who is always available for life and fitness guidance. Her warm attitude is probably her greatest attribute as a trainer, because she makes the sessions fly by. I would recommend her for anyone who is looking to take their fitness journey to the next level and who is interested in continuous growth. Whether it be in person training or online coaching, she offers many services to suit your personal fitness goals.
