About Me
I grew up in Lorne Park playing baseball, hockey, skateboarding and snowboarding. I got into strength training at the age of 12 to throw a baseball faster. I quickly fell in love with strength training and not too long after, bodybuilding became my sole focus.
Competing in several natural bodybuilding shows I earned my “pro card” with the International Drug Free Athletics (IDFA) in late 2014. Since then my interests have matured. Focusing on health, longevity and pain free movement.
I began my career as a personal trainer at 19 (currently 36) and have been helping clients/friends towards their health & fitness goals since then. I’m super passionate about the opportunity to show people what they’re capable of.
When I’m not training I listen to podcasts focused on health, longevity, well-being and spirituality. I LOVE coffee and I build watches at makerwatchcompany.com. If I’m not doing any of those things I’m usually on my skateboarding or walking around trying to figure what bird I’m hearing.

“I’ve had a fantastic experience training with Justin. He is incredibly knowledgeable and attentive, always ensuring my form is correct to prevent injury and maximize results. His attention to detail has made a big difference in how I approach each workout.
The customized food plan he provided has also been a game changer—I’ve lost weight and, more importantly, I feel so much better overall. His guidance, support, and commitment to my goals have truly made a positive impact on my health and fitness journey. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for real results and expert support.

“Justin is the most knowledgeable person I have ever known when it comes to fitness. His approach to reaching my fitness goals has always been motivating, patient and kind.

“I’ve been training with Justin for over two years, and his knowledge of fitness has completely changed how I approach my health and fitness. He goes beyond workouts, helping you make lasting lifestyle changes that deliver real results. He takes the time to explain the reason behind everything, which makes the process easier. He’s a great guy, easy to work with, approachable and genuinely committed to helping his clients succeed. I highly recommend Justin to anyone who wants real, lasting results and a positive training experience."

I came to Justin with zero experience in strength training—I had never even stepped into a gym before and always felt uncomfortable in that environment. After struggling to lose weight a year postpartum, I finally decided to reach out for his help.
At first, I was intimidated, but Justin’s calm and reassuring demeanor immediately put me at ease. He created such a welcoming, judgment-free atmosphere that I actually looked forward to showing up. He gently corrected my form, customized exercises to fit my goals, and always gave me his full attention, making sure every rep was done safely and effectively.
Justin knows how to push you hard while still checking in to make sure you’re doing okay. He’s also incredibly responsive outside the gym—answering any questions about workouts or nutrition and even guiding me on my calorie needs.
What stands out most is the positive environment he creates. Justin has a way of putting you in the right mindset to succeed, and that made all the difference for me. Thanks to him, I not only feel comfortable in the gym, but I’ve also been able to stay consistent and make real progress toward my fitness goals.

Watching Justin go through natural bodybuilding competitions made me want to give it a go. I never believed I could do it on my own, but when I saw the transformation he went through and felt the motivation from him he made me feel I could accomplish anything. He didn’t just help change my physical appearance but he assisted me with every mental aspect along the way. He had an answer for every question and every doubt I had throughout my fitness journey. He genuinely will support and see through to the end that every client he trains will see a difference and feel their absolute best, no question. That’s a fact.

I had a great experience with Justin as my trainer. He is very punctual and always has a smile on his face and a positive attitude, creating a non judgemental atmosphere for his clients. This was really helpful for me as someone who was just starting to get into weight training at the time and felt a little bit unsure and intimidated in the gym. His training is personalized towards the client. He helped me set specific personalized goals and motivated me to reach them. He pushes you to reach your potential, work hard and step outside of your comfort zone while still making sure you are working out in a safe manner with good form and technique in order to ensure you are achieving the best results and not doing anything that could harm or injure yourself. He pushed me to do my best and work my hardest and get over the mental block of telling myself “I can’t do it.” He saw my potential and motivated me to reach it without going overboard or pushing me to over exert myself. He was also extremely patient and helped me create a solid routine to help me get used to a wide range of movements and exercises that work all different kinds of muscle groups to give a well rounded full body workout. Overall my experience with Justin was really positive and he helped to create a pleasant environment for me to get more comfortable in the gym and learn more about fitness. I strongly recommend you train with Justin.
