Gareth Bryson
Gareth has been through almost every phase of fitness throughout his life. He competed early on in baseball, soccer, and swimming up until his early teens. By the time he was in Grade 10 he was seriously overweight and dedicated himself to serious change. Going from 235 to 160lbs over the course of a year was one of the most challenging things he has ever accomplished. He then shifted gears into bodybuilding and hypertrophy programs and went up to 230 lbs again but with a significantly different shape. Since becoming a personal trainer again the focus has shifted and now he has trimmed down and is currently in the best shape of his life.
Training Perspective
Gareth is driven to see everyone achieve results regardless of current conditioning level. He will continue to push clients and himself to new levels. Do NOT expect an ordinary training session. Know by his clients affectionately as “Sven” the German drill sergeant, and “Chemo” to others. He is always striving to be on the cutting edge when it comes to equipment and exercise science.
Current Goals:
- Deliver unparalleled results and experiences to clients
- Continue to advance in athletic conditioning endeavors
- Achieve STAR Level Defendo instructors certification within 2 years
