Personal Training
Living a Healthy and Energetic Life
...can be much easier than you think
We help many of the most successfull business professionals in Ottawa and they all say that the hardest part about it, was the decision to start. After a few weeks of getting started and having made the decision to put fitness into their schedule, they started to feel more in control of their life and now have a better balance overall. They tell us that they gain energy and overall well-being and seem to find room for that 30 minutes they felt was impossible at first.
Don't you think it's about time for you to make a move? It's easy, just book your first assessment. We are known by our clients as friendly, knowledgeable personal trainers and we are here to help you take a step in the right direction. There is so much information about the “science of health” from nutrition to exercise routines, that having someone put together a plan for you is so much more effective than aimlessly just going to the gym or your home gym and trying different machines and exercises without a purpose. Not to mention having help with your nutrition.
Features
One on One Personal Training:
These are session of 30 minutes in length and are just you and your personal trainer. They are sold in single sessions or packages. The more sessions you purchase the less expensive it gets.
One on one personal training is the best way to get the most effective workout when at the gym. When you purchase a package of sessions a program will be designed specific to your goal, when buying just one session at a time you are basically getting time with a trainer to cover whatever it is that you wanted to work on for that session. Single sessions are mainly for trainees that wish to get an extra little kick out of a specific workout or be shown a few new things, while packages are for those that want to get the most out of the each session.
Nutritional Weight Loss Guidance:
You’ll get the guidance that you need to succeed and stay on track. For the past 9 years we have been using our nutrition plans for weight loss, muscle gain and improved health. Combine years of expertise, a supportive community, a certified nutrition consultant and the result is a proven.
In the consultation - You’ll get important information on the weeks weight loss topic and a confidential weigh-in (including bodyfat) each week to keep you on track. Meetings are an opportunity to get expert advice, share helpful strategies—or just listen and find motivation. It’s 15 minutes out of your week and it’s worth it.
Free Form Anywhere - Looking for a healthy snack? Need the motivation to stay on track? Free Form Anywhere is your Internet connection to Free Form throughout the week—at home, at the office, wherever you are. People who use tools to help them stay on track between meetings lose 30% more weight on average than those who attend weekly meetings alone.
Personal Training Guidance Membership:
This is a full body routine that changes every month. It is designed for you and you are educated on how to perform each exercise and train each muscle group properly one on one with your trainer. Each session is 30 minutes in length. It allows you full access to the facility and 3 nutrition consultations throughout the year.
These routines are designed to maximize recovery times of muscles so that you never over train and continue to make gains. Generally these routines are for more experienced trainees since these sessions do not provide us enough time in order to get you up to speed on the intensity level you should be working at in order to reach your full potential.
Semi-Private Group Personal Training:
Group training consists of a trainer and 4-5 clients for 8 weeks. The advantage to these sessions are that you will save some money on the session cost, once you decide to do the group training we both try to fill up the group, once filled you can start. However, these sessions are only for clients with the same goal. If each person is not working on the same goal all involved will not receive the results that they would when training one on one.
In-Work Corporate Small Group Personal Training:
We offer group training in corporations just like we do in-house as well. Groups of 2-6 with one personal trainer is what we can offer at your place of work with little to no equipment required. We will bring the necessary equipment for the session taking place that day. The pricing for the in-work training is a bit higher than our regular sessions due to the trainer needing time to travel.

"I recently realized that I wasn't getting any younger (I was a 42 years of age) and I needed to make changes in my lifestyle to be around for my wife and to see 2 daughters grow up. Prior to going to the gym, I recently had a physical and my family doctor informed me that I had high triglycerides (blood sugar) and my "bad" cholesterol was higher than average. My job was also a source of higher than average stress so I needed a healthy outlet for the relief of stress. I felt I had to take control of my health and I did not want to continue down the path I was on. Then I decided to visit FFF and check out their personal training program. In just 6 months, I have lost 20 pounds and over 5% body fat and 3 inches of my waist size and my cholesterol results are now stellar. This is the first winter I can ever remember that I never got a single cold or flu and I can start doing sports and activities I thought were lost in my 20's. This road to improvement is all because of Chelsea's dedication and personal training helped me improve my fitness and overall health. The only way to get real results is with the help of a personal trainer. Everybody can free up 30 minutes 3 times a week. Make time for yourself and invest in your health by visiting FFF today. Be sure to book a consult with one of their personal trainers. I'm sure glad I did."”

"After having spent most of my adult life as a couch potato, and working in a sedentary job, I finally decided to do something about it. I've joined gyms before, and gone two or three times before giving up. So this time I decided to try working with a personal trainer, to make sure I'm doing the right things. Coming to Free Form Fitness has turned out to be one of the best decisions I've made in years!
I've worked with several of the trainers at FFF, and have found every single one to be knowledgeable, friendly, and extremely enthusiatic. It's very evident that they love what they do, and that they love helping people like me to achieve and surpass their goals. Working with the trainers, both in personal and group sessions, helps to provide me with the motivation to keep going, to keep pushing myself, and to keep growing. I have scheduled appointments throughout the week that keep me on track, so that I'm not inclined to take an extra day off or get lazy. And they build a lot of variety into each session, so I'm not doing the same things day after day, targetting different aspects of my overall fitness.
With their help and guidance, I have met every goal I set for myself when I started coming, and more. I have cut my total body fat percentage almost in half, and dropped my body weight by almost 20%. But most significant to me is a seemingly tiny change that snuck up on me. I've had back problems for most of my life, and was taking Advil every few hours... well over a dozen a day! I've recently noticed, however, that I've been needing it less and less, and now only take a couple once or twice a week.
Without the FFF team, I'd still be exactly where I was a year ago, and would have given up within the first two weeks - just like every other time in the past that I had decided to start going to a gym. Now, thanks to their encouragement and guidance, I am in the best shape of my life!"

"I’m an avid long distance nordic (cross country) skier, and have completed a number of times the 160 kilometer Canadian Ski Marathon, the longest ski tour in the world. In the past couple of years I’ve started doing some races and I wanted to focus on increasing my speed, as well as endurance. I joined FFF’s for personal training in the fall because I wanted to improve my strength, particularly core strength. Strength is particularly important in an all-body sport such as Nordic skiing that requires fluid yet explosive movement to go faster.
This winter I have achieved some distance and speed personal bests, and most importantly with no injuries: 2008 Gatineau Loppet Reports: The Triple Folly
I believe my strength training at FFF has been an important factor. I’ve found the focused, yet varied training offered by FFF has really helped take my strength to a higher level. Thank you the FFF team!"

“Being a professional, when I finally decided I had to get fit, I knew I should turn to professional trainers. After all, even Olympic and professional athletes use trainers. FFF has provided this support and I was so impressed with their attitude and my success that I signed on for additional training. I feel this is the greatest compliment I can give to any business and have recommended their services to other professionals.”

"I've been a member at FFF since September of 2006. Working with Jean-Luc and the other trainers at FFF through group training sessions has allowed me to lose about 35 pounds and completely change my nutritional and exercise habits over the past year. I would strongly recommend Jean-Luc and FFF to anyone interested in getting in shape."

I had decided 6 weeks ago to make a life change, I am 29 and had put on some weight and body fat. My long term goal was to lower my body fat to single digits and to have a fit body. Now I have worked out before but never achieved the results that I had hoped for mostly because of not eating properly. So when I went and seaw the team at Free Form Fitness I knew they would put me in the right direction. My trainer Chelsea has set me up with my nutrition guide and workout program and it has netted me in a loss of 20lbs and 6.6% body fat loss in just 6 weeks !. I feel great and I can not thank the free form team enough for my results.

I lost 15 lbs and 5.8% body fat in 8 weeks and would not have been able to do it with out the excellent work of Jean-Luc and Free Form Fitness. The added feature is that with the work outs I feel much stronger and healthier.
