Vintage Fitness Reviews

Catherine has worked with me for the last two years training my wife Jeanne. Jeanne was diagnosed with Dementia two years ago. In conversations with the Doctor, one of the main recommendations was to keep Jeanne both physically and mentally active. My daughter in law introduced me to Vintage Fitness and subsequently Catherine. From the beginning Catherine has been proactive and very professional in both physically training Jeanne even through a broken leg and offering companionship and conversation to help keep Jeanne's mind active. Catherine comes to our condo 3 times a week and runs Jeanne through a well managed training program and the results are obvious in Jeanne's posture and strength.
Thank you Catherine

Personal training gives you motivation to continue training. Some weeks it is hard to stay motivated. Our personal trainer Dee has really kept us moving.
Dee is very personable and knowledgeable. If she does not know something, she checks with other trainers or health service providers that she knows and updates us with her findings. Her cheerful attitude makes the training time go quickly.
Each year I sign up for the New York marathon and Dee has been responsible for getting me through three of them. I am sure that she will give me the push that I need to complete the marathon again this year.
Dee has been an inspiration. Her tales of her athletic holidays have challenged us to follow in her footsteps. She is always cheerful and while she pushes hard to get us to our goals, we have worked harder and longer only because of her."

Aarti is a knowledgeable and skilled trainer, who adapts her efforts to each session's situation. She varies activities to keep them interesting, encourages me to do just a little more than I think I can. It has been only 8 or so weeks but I see improvement in stamina and strength, and a long-time hand tremor is mostly gone. I have more mobility in my shoulder, elbow and wrist from a recent injury.
Still don't love exercise but knowing Aarti is on her way gets me motivated, and I feel better afterward.

Thanks Aarti and Vintage forgetting me off the sofa!

Aarthi is an excellent trainer, knowledgeable and sensitive to her client's specific needs. We are focussing on my hips after twin surgeries and I am am much stronger and more flexible than before we began. Her training as a physiotherapist is a real plus!

Aarthi pays careful attention to the client and is very good at maintaing our interest and focus by mixing up our workouts I highly recommend Aarthi to seniors.

I would strongly recommend using Kristy as your personal trainer. She is experienced, knowledgeable, and very pleasant to deal with. At the start of my program, she carefully assessed my body, to determine my strengths and weaknesses. She then prepared a very personalized exercise program both for my upper and lower body, which took into account my individual needs. During training, she is very careful to ensure that all exercises are done correctly, to avoid the possibility of injury. I have enjoyed working with Kristy. Her lovely personality makes even the hardest workout much easier to bear

I have been a member of vintage fitness since November 2023. I work out in my home twice a week with Lorenzo Pagnotta. Over the past 6 months we have worked on improving my core strength, reducing chronic pain in my shoulders and neck that have been with me for many years, and just improving my general physical health. Lorenzo is incredibly knowledgeable, caring and understanding, and he has a great sense of humour - He makes the training sessions fun and I never get bored because I never know what he comes up with next.

Today I feel I have a lot more energy, strength and endurance and my chronic neck and shoulder pain are a thing of the past. Overall I just feel better and I now do things that I haven’t done in some time.

I engaged the help of Sarah Davis, through Vintage Fitness, when arthritis and muscle loss began to affect me -- I wasn't ready to give up mobility! -- and it was a perfect choice. Sarah is caring and professional; she listens, and adapts the program to my needs, while pushing me just enough. The exercises are varied and never boring (this, from someone who avoids gyms and has never lifted weights), and Sarah explains the reason for each one, i.e., what need(s) it addresses. I feel completely safe under her guidance -- safe, motivated, and hopeful! My only complaint is that the hour goes too quickly :)

I've also been impressed by Vintage Fitness itself; by Sid's initial help, by Leigh's check-ins, and by the administrative process, which is clear and easy to follow. In all, a great experience which I highly recommend.

Thank you Ana Rojas. Your are an amazing trainer. Your bright smile and steady encouragement has brought me from not being able to stand up from a sitting position on a very low sofa; to standing up consecutively. It was a challenge, as I was ready to give up the sofa, then realized that it is good exercise for me so I am keeping it. Ana has me climbing stairs up and down. I feel confident with her beside me it will get easier as we move forward.

My trainer has been working with me for the past year. I found her to very caring and attentive to my needs. I looked forward to her coming twice a week and gave me the motivation to get up and move. She always had knowledgeable advice. I would highly recommend her. Thank you

Aarti is great. She is knowledgeable and fun. Every session offered something new and helpful. I enjoyed my time with her.

Aarti Jagiashi is an exceptional physical trainer who clearly understands the physical and mental needs and issues for seniors, and for me in particular. Aarti’s goal is not only to maintain but also to improve diminishing physical functioning and abilities typically experienced by seniors. Aarti always encouraged me to achieve my goals easily and successfully. She provided clear explanations and ways of gaining and improving strength by giving me sound advice and appropriate directions during our sessions together.

Neville Panthaki is an excellent trainer. He has proven his competence in a highly specialized area - working with seniors. At age 91, my father has noticeably improved his strength, endurance, cognition and confidence through in-home training sessions with Neville, twice a week over the past year. Neville arrives as scheduled, attentive and fully prepared. While it’s reassuring for our family to notice changes and improvements over the past year, the more meaningful and lasting impact of his training sessions with Neville is that my father knows it and feels them.

I would like to say a big thank you, Vintage Fitness team, for all your help and support. I’ve been working with Olena T. She demonstrates a high professionalism and dedication, every lesson doesn’t look like a copy/paste from previous one. She makes adjustments to an exercise plan according to my personal conditions and trying to address my concerns responsibly.

I would like to tell you how much I appreciate the care I have received from Aarti. I can now walk without pain, rise from a chair without fear of falling ,and spend more hours in the kitchen baking the treats I love so much. Aarti has explained each treatment as we go and revealed her extensive knowledge of her craft. She has also been a delightful person to have in my home. I look forward to further improvement and heartily recommend her for anyone as old as I am!

Tullio has been working with my 93 year-old mother-in-law and myself for over 6 months now. We both appreciate his positive attitude and his skill in identifying our specific needs. We are realizing great results in our own attitudes towards fitness.
We highly recommend Vintage Fitness and Tullio.

Angie is amazing - always upbeat and positive. Always working hard to ensure we are making headway. Appreciate her commitment and support.

Tulio is a great fit for my elderly mom. He takes time to take care of her exercise needs while it becoming a social call for mom as well. She's happy and she is getting the exercise that she would not get/do on her own.

Ana R is amazing! She has been our trainer for over 2 months and my husband and I can see remarkable results in our mobility and fitness level. She is very patient and encouraging and she makes us laugh while we are working out. She is very knowledgeable and does her research and is able to answer all our questions.She tries out different exercises and stretches with us and pushes us a little harder each time.She is great and we are so happy she is able to help us out. She is genuinely concerned for our wellness and she puts a positive spin on everything.
We are so grateful to her.

I have been a client of VF for aproximately 18 months. In that time my personal fitness level has improved markedly. Barely able to stand or walk at the beginning both my fitness level and my confidence have given me a better perspective on what I considered to be my twilight phase of my life.
The instruction has been analytical and flexible. I have some better days than others but each session is about maximizing my efforts without destroying my will to participate.
Looking forward to futher improvements.

I can't say enough about how wonderful Ana is as a trainer. I look forward to our sessions together - she is attentive and positive, varying the exercises so that workouts are always fresh and new. She modifies exercises to accommodate medical conditions and watches me closely to observe how my body adapts to various challenges. Ana is very knowledgeable and gets great results.
Thank you Ana!

My coach Angie is a friendly nice person.
She teaches me how to exercise patiently and carefully.
She encourages me to correct my weakness to avoid any injury。
In half a year, I feel more confident to keep my balance and be much flexible.
I get much energy daily and sleep well in the night.

Angie is not only the best fitness trainer, but also an incredible person who constantly lights up our days with each visit. We are so lucky to have met such a wonderful person who brightens up all of our lives. We highly recommend her service as weve benefited from both her expertise and knowledge in such a short amount of time. We not only consider her a professional in her work, but we also consider her as part of our family!

My husband, Tony, who is 82 years old, had lost his vision and much of his mobility after he got a heart attack and a stroke. He was depressed because he wasn’t able to do the activities he used to do. My daughter, Janice, looked up online for a fitness program to get him out of his depression and she found Vintage Fitness. He was introduced to Ana Rojas, the trainer, who always came with a smile to our home to start the exercises with Tony. Ana introduced the right exercises for him and now Tony is looking forward to his sessions of therapy. Ana is very knowledgeable and professional in introducing all the right exercises for him. I highly recommend Vintage Fitness and Ana Rojas for seniors or anyone seeking therapy to keep healthy

My experience with Vintage Fitness has been very positive. From the beginning, they demonstrated a great interest in helping people get more physically fit, but with an emphasis on doing so in a fun way. Their website is full of helpful information and their webinars are very useful.
Sarah is my personal trainer and she is wonderful! She is very knowledgeable, caring, patient and oh so nice. She keeps me moving, but at a pace that is good for me. Sarah is always checking in to see how I am doing to make sure that I am not hurting myself. After 3 months, I feel that I have come a long way in accomplishing the goals that I set out at the beginning. I feel stronger, my posture is improving and my back, which has been a chronic problem for years, is loosening up. Sarah has taught me so much that I can use going forward. And we do have a lot of fun!

Our trainer, Dee, is fantastic.
We really enjoy your service and working out with Dee has done wonders for us!! Thanks so much!"

Training with Vintage Fitness is the best decision I have ever made for my health! I love my trainer - she is gentle and kind but firm and I have seen very positive results after only a short time. I highly recommend this company

Anthony has been my personal trainer for the past 8 years. During this time I have benefited from Anthony’s expertise and his continual journey towards excellence in providing me with an overall healthy lifestyle program of physical, emotional and spiritual growth that has met my personal needs over the years. Anthony is a continual student and teacher always bettering his knowledge and putting into action the benefits of his learning through his fitness program and communications.
One of Anthony’s strengths is in providing a program that never gets old or stale. He has the capacity of changing things up, making the workouts interesting as well as challenging using new and varied techniques along with different types of fitness equipment. With Anthony you get more than a physical trainer of the body. When I went through a radical prostatectomy Anthony was there providing me with not only a fitness program that met my needs to keep active, along with keeping me safe from injuring myself , but he was there also as an emotional and spiritual support.
For those of all ages, I am 70 years old, I highly recommend Anthony Cheam to be your personal trainer."

I am pleased with the program and its focus on assisting senior people with their fitness issues. My trainer has done a thorough assessment of my fitness issues and has set, and updates, my daily program to improve my fitness with noticeable results. This is a program worthwhile for any senior person wishing to improve personal fitness issues.

Sincerly,.

I had my mom setup with a "at home" personal trainer (Mais) and it has been an awesome experience. My mom had lost a lot of muscle tone due to inactivity and had very limited mobility. She also experienced chronic muscular pain. Mais worked with us to set up a customized regimen for my mom, based on our goals. From the get go she was very personable and really invested in making sure it was an engaging and rewarding experience for my mom. She continued to tweak the exercise regimen as my mom progressed and eventually exceeded the goals we had set out. It has made a world of difference for my mom's overall health, mobility and greatly reduced even her chronic muscle pain. She ejoys the sessions and looks forward to them, and the cherry on top is that has noticeably lost weight Thank you Mais and thank you Vintage fitness!!!

My sister has benefitted enormously with the attention, care and motivation that Erin and her team have given. I would recommend them to anyone who needs help with their parents/grandparents or those who are post rehab and need special help.

My dad Joe had been hospitalized with COVID 19 and spent one month in the hospital followed by three months in a rehab facility. While his mobility was poor before contracting COVID, it was far worse when he returned home. He was confined to a wheel chair and didn’t think he would be able to walk again. After working with his trainers Cory and now Bill 3x week, he walks with a Walker and is even stronger than he was pre-COVID. I am super impressed with the professionalism and dedication of the Vintage Fitness staff. They were exactly what I was looking for with my dad and they can through big time!!! I can’t thank them enough!

Caring and professional. Erin met us and determined our fitness goals and capabilities. Our trainer, Dee, was fantastic and energetic. She inspired us to train twice a week, and taught us how to use the building's gym equipment safely. An absolutely wonderful human being, and we looked forward to seeing her! Illness is the only reason we stopped using Vintage Fitness (check their refund policy). We both feel we have improved balance and stamina for daily activities like stairs and waking on slippery winter sidewalks. Would recommend to anyone in need of a personal trainer who can work with people who aren't yet fit.

When I first began my personal training session with Olena, I was a couch potato and other than walking, I did not do any exercises. Coming into my senior years, I wanted to strengthen my body, my bones and my heart and I knew getting a personal trainer would motivate me to exercise. I really enjoyed my years of training with Olena as she made the sessions most enjoyable, many times hard, but her warm personality, her commitment and knowledge helped motivate me. The information and knowledge she imparted about the body and muscles were most helpful as she explained what the exercises were accomplishing. Because she loves what she does, she pushed you to try your best."

Ive been working with Kristy Belanger since May 2018. My goal initially was to lose weight. So faras of September 2018 I have lost 31 lbs and a total of 11.5 inches.This is all down to Kristy and her vast knowledge of fitness and dietary needs.During this time I have had a couple minor injuies to deal with and Kristy was able to adjust my program immediately and direct me to the proper professionals to help in my recovery. Looking forward to continuing to work with her in the future. Thanks Kristy!"

Im 67 and retired for 4 years as a managerial desk job. I have arthritic knees and was 35lbs over weight and getting out of breath walking up a few flights of stairs. The thought of a gym didn’t appeal to me so with some research online, I found Erin and Vintage Fitness. It sat in my browser for a year before I pulled the trigger. Erin sent Kristy Belanger for an initial interview to review my goals and find out a little about her. I was very pleased with her knowledge and attention to detail. She spent first few weeks assessing my abilities and limits to devise a plan which I really appreciated. After only 3 month I have lost 15 lbs and 2 inches off waist. I am able to reach my shoe laces and my knees are in much better condition due to the weight loss and Kristy working key lower body muscles to give me proper support for my knees. We now wet new goals and are working towards them, signing up for another 6 months. Highly recommend Kristy and Vintage Fitness to anyone!"

Kristy was a great support and help for me during my recovery from major surgeries and subsequent physical weakness and pain. Her sweet attitude was also a big comfort. I was impressed and felt secure with her knowledge of subtle aspects of working with the human body."

I am a 54 year old woman who has a fair amount of scar tissue due to numerous incidents over the years (bikes, horses, ATVs, golf balls, surgeries). If I don't move, I curl up like a pretzel and as time went on, my mobility was beginning to be severely curtailed. Kristy, in conjunction with my chiropractor and physiotherapist, put together a program that over the last 3 months, has allowed me to stand up straight, walk straight and has restored my strength. I am no longer in pain, plagued by knots and soon, I will be able to kite surf again. I got further physically, with Kristy that I have the last 10 years, with my other therapists. She really knows what she is doing. I have defined arms, legs and midsection again - wuhu!."

Kristy Belanger has been helping me for about 3 months. She is so caring and puts a lot of thought and effort into our sessions. I would recommend Kristy to others."

Hi Dee:
We love working with you and we'll miss our sessions while you're away. I have to admit that normally I would be thinking about quitting at this point but, you're the best at motivating and inspiring. Have a wonderful holiday. You'll have to tell us about your travels when you return."

Dee is an awesome trainer! Her infectious optimism make exercise fun. Dee works hard to tailor her program to the client’s level, assists in setting realizable goals and when met makes getting to the next level achievable."

I am enjoying my sessions very much, my balance is slowly improving. Last Monday, we did exercises in the pool, that I enjoyed very much. Olena is very nice and easy to work with."

Anthony is a phenomenal trainer and coach. He has helped me to reach great levels of health and fitness that I could not have reached without his training and motivation"

I've been working with Erin, and then Leigh, for almost two years and it's been great. They both have a warm, empathetic approach and have developed very effective cardio and strength-training programs for me. I enjoy the sessions and am definitely much stronger since I started with them. I highly recommend Vintage Fitness for a personalized, effective approach to fitness!"

I have been receiving personal training from Vintage Fitness in my condo exercise room since 2005. Having had a few falls and some broken bones while in my early 60s, I knew I needed to change something in my life. Erin did a comprehensive assessment, and then we began together to address weaknesses and build strength. For a while, we met twice a week, and then once a week when my husband entered semi-retirement and decided to join in. My aerobic capacity and stamina have increased, balance is greatly improved ( no more falls) and I function better around the house. Bonus: I can keep up with my two young grandchildren. Working out, first with Erin and then with Leigh, is a lot of fun, too. Vintage Fitness has remained part of my weekly routine because I can see the benefits in my daily life."
