Groundwork Athletics Inc.

Your training program is paying off. I finished the Iron knee 25K in 2:00:06. That’s more than 15 minutes better than last year. Plus I have my Grind time down to 36:20 – the fastest I have ever done

“Since high school I’ve had a constant struggle putting on weight and increasing my strength. Not only did I manage to gain fifteen lbs and drastically increase my strength within six months (mid season), but training with Groundwork Athletics also improved my foot speed, balance, and explosiveness. Being the first rugby player to train at the gym, I was impressed by the efforts made by both Jon and Troy to learn and understand the game and its training needs. Within the first year of training at Groundwork I earned my first cap with the Canadian Senior Men’s Team against Scotland. The professional and competitive environment at Groundwork Athletics is perfect for any athlete looking to take their game to the next level.”

“I’ve been working with Jon and Troy at Groundwork Athletics for over 3 years. They have helped me to improve my general level of fitness and prepare for, and succeed in, several trail running events. Through their training and support I was able to complete 2 Knee Knackering North Shore Trail runs even though I had never run longer than 40 minutes prior to starting training. Their professional manner complements training sessions that are unique and enjoyable so that this self professed “gym hater” looks forward to training twice a week. I highly recommend Groundwork Athletics to anyone who is either looking to push their physical limits and train for a specific event or to improve their general level of fitness to make day to day life more enjoyable.”

“A friend recommended Groundwork Athletics to me as I was feeling bored with my fitness routine and was looking for something new. I immediately liked Troy and Jon’s workouts, they were completely unique, challenging and even more important a lot of fun. Over the past 10 months I have seen amazing results improving my strength, balance and agility and the impact this has made in all the other sports and activities that I do. I am continually impressed with their professional and innovative approach to fitness. Their workouts continue to challenge and motivate me to reach new levels. I would highly recommend Groundwork Athletics to anyone who is committed to improving their current fitness level whether you are a beginner or an advanced athlete.”

“Every workout is fun and different. We all want to get on a program to look better and feel better, but a conventional gym setting isn’t the only option. Since working with Groundwork Athletics I feel stronger and more energetic. I can do things that I never thought I could. For anyone that has had a trainer or is considering one, Groundwork Athletics is totally different than what you’d expect. You are not doing boring exercises on a machine. You are doing a series if unique and challenging moves using medicine balls, stability balls, bosus, hurdles, ladders, free weights and more. It’s always a great workout and best of all you get results. I strongly recommend that everyone challenge their existing fitness regime and spend an hour with Troy and Jon.”

“My husband and I love our weekly group training sessions at Groundwork Athletics. The workouts are fun, efficient and challenging, and it’s nice to get everything (cardio, strength, core, stretch) covered in one hour. The training sessions have definitely improved our running stamina, and have helped us avoid typical chronic injuries associated with running. Training with a group of people makes the workout motivating, and it’s definitely never boring! We love it!”
