“Before I began training with Kyle, I was overweight, always tired and suffering from aches and pains while doing even minor exercises. After training with Kyle, my strength has increased more than I could have imagined, I trained for and ran 2 sub-4 hour marathons, I sleep better, I look better and most of all, I feel better. Kyle’s positive attitude makes training enjoyable and his knowledge and ability to vary the sessions make it easy to keep coming back. ” – Rush, morning radio host
“I first met Kyle after hearing him give a presentation at VegFest. At the time, I was training for my first Half Ironman triathlon and I was experiencing significant fatigue in my daily life and lack of energy during my training sessions.
I knew I had to change my diet somehow, but nothing I’d tried on my own had worked. I had contacted a few sports nutritionists but they were apprehensive about taking on a vegan client. When I heard Kyle talk, I knew he’d be a better fit for me so I contacted him to see if he’d be able to help me. He agreed, and asked me to keep a food and training journal for a few days before we met.
When we met, he thoroughly analyzed my current food intake and compared it with my energy needs. He made some simple changes to my diet and recommended some reading and online tools. I was nervous at first, since one of the changes he recommended was hugely increasing my carb intake.
I’ve struggled with obesity my whole life and have typically tried to steer away from carbs in order to try to reduce my weight. He asked me to give it just 3 weeks and if I didn’t like it, I could go back to my original diet. I agreed to 3 weeks and started the next day.
I was stunned to discover that not only did my energy skyrocket, but I started dropping not only pounds, but fat as well. I had lots of energy for training and, thanks to his suggestions, also had lots of energy on the day of my half ironman.
I have maintained this diet for six months now and see no point in going back to what didn’t work before. I was so impressed with his attention to detail, his active listening and his knowledge.
People have asked me what I’m doing differently and I tell them all about Kyle. He is truly inspirational.”

Kyle has built a custom fitness training plan for me and trained me to use it properly. He also provides me with occasional nutritional advice and follows up.
Kyle was attentive to my lifestyle as busy professional when he designed the plan and included strength training helpful to my other sports activities and general well being. Kyle is attentive to details and listens well, is highly motivating with a combination of easy-going yet firm guidance.
I’d recommend Kyle’s fitness and health training for everyone, including busy senior professionals like myself and including people of all skill levels who want to improve their lives.

Kyle is such a great guy! He graciously offered to give a talk at our Guest Speaker night for the uOttawa Veg Club. His presentation was well researched, informative and presented in a very energetic and confident manner.
I think many people when transitioning to Veganism can overcomplicate their diet, and forget about the basics of good (simple) food, water, and sleep. He made a healthy plant-based diet appear very achievable with awesome advice on how to maintain even a very active lifestyle.
Kyle is a great role model and I would definitely recommend him for any event, or just personal advice!
– Christine Balderson, President uOttawa Veg Club
I had the privilege to work with Kyle for a 12-week fitness routine at the Chateau Laurier. I am beyond pleased with the outcome. I’ve lost a considerable amount of weight, I’ve built muscle mass and developed a daily routine that has seen me maintain a streak of working out over 70 consecutive days.
What makes Kyle a transformation trainer is that he doesn’t just tell you what to do, he coaches you and finds solutions to make things you can’t do, possible. I was pretty skeptical of the whole personal trainer idea until I worked with Kyle. I thought I could just find a routine online and do it myself and get results, but that rarely works and you often fall off the wagon.
Kyle first evaluated my fitness and stiffness and devised a routine that would help improve my physical shape and my flexibility. I started seeing results after only a few sessions and after a month and a half friends and family started to notice, more importantly, though, I felt better.
With Kyle what really stood out was his ability to make changes on the fly, if he sees you struggling he has a dozen different exercises or stretches to make it easier and improve your form. If you can’t do a traditional squat, he has another variation. He was also able to explain the science behind everything he had you do.
The Chateau gym is wonderful and Kyle’s private training room offers privacy and the ability to avoid any self-consciousness you might have about going to the gym.
I would recommend Kyle to anyone who is serious about improving their fitness and flexibility. If you’re willing to put in the work and open to changing your life Kyle is the trainer you need.
