“My first experience with Groundwork Athletics started in early 2018, with our long time family friend Christine inviting my wife and I along to a “Client Appreciation Night” at GWA. There were coolers of beer, wine, etc. and lots of people mingling, and based on my Business Development background and years of networking, this was right in my wheel house. Christine introduced me to Donny MacQuarrie and within minutes, we became best friends like in the movie Stepbrothers. I told him I needed to “get rid of all of this”, pointing to my belly area. I’m a type 2 diabetic, I was 47 at the time, and my dadbod was glowing and definitely showing. We have a similar sense of humour so it was easy to slowly work my way back into working out again. Unfortunately, with all of the progress I made, I had to stop working out at GWA due to work commitments for about a year or so. Fast forward to March 2020 when the pandemic hit. We went on lockdown, I quit all of my vices (the worst ones at least), lost 25 lbs. and decided in May of 2020 I was ready to rejoin the Swole Patrol and have been working out (now 3 days a week) with Donny ever since.
Donny is not just a trainer to me, I consider him a close friend. When my father died in September of 2019, I wasn’t training with him at the time, but he was there for me regardless, and I’ll always appreciate that. If you’ve ever had any sort of athletic, competitive background in your life, Donny is the guy for you. I’m a glutton for punishment with laughter attached so it works out great for me. Our usual M.O. is talking about sports and silly movies. Whether you have a good sense of humour or not, he’ll bring the laughter and a “Can Do Attitude” and make your hour of torture somewhat fun! I love the results I’ve gotten thus far and look forward to a long and loving partnership with Donny and Groundwork Athletics.”
