Personal Training - Brentwood, Burnaby

Personal training is a one-on-one fitness service designed to help you move better, feel stronger, and achieve your unique health and wellness goals. Whether you're looking to build strength, improve mobility, recover from an injury, or simply feel more confident in your body, personal training provides expert guidance, motivation, and accountability. Our Kinesiologists in Burnaby work with clients of all fitness levels to create safe, effective, and personalized workout plans that fit your lifestyle. We also offer "Bring a Friend" two-person sessions, so you can train with a partner while still receiving personalized coaching and support.

At Total Therapy, our Kinesiologists are university-educated health and wellness professionals who combine their expertise in biomechanics and human anatomy to create programs that are as effective as they are empowering. Our modern, fully equipped gym provides a welcoming space for you to focus on your goals, whether that's improving strength, recovering from an injury, or simply moving with more ease. We believe in a body-positive approach to fitness, focusing on what your body can do rather than how it looks. Our goal is to help you feel strong, capable, and confident in your movement on your terms.

Personal Training services are offered at both our Brentwood and Metrotown locations.

Personal Training is for everyone, regardless of your fitness level or experience. Our Kinesiologists specialize in meeting you where you are and designing programs that fit your schedule, abilities, and interests. Whether you're just starting out, recovering from an injury, or looking to take your fitness to the next level, Personal Training can help you feel your best. If you prefer to train with a partner, our two-person "Bring a Friend" sessions are a great way to stay motivated and share the experience with someone you trust.

Your first appointment is a complimentary 15-30 minute consultation with a Kinesiologist. During this session, you'll discuss your goals, health history, and exercise experience. Together, you'll determine the best booking option for you that sets you up for success.

Most treatment goals can't be achieved in just one session! Your therapist will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan based on your goals to help you feel better and achieve lasting results.

‍

Each appointment builds on the last, helping to reduce your symptoms, address the root cause of the issue, and support your long-term health.

For the best value on Kinesiology sessions, ask your Kinesiologist about our pre-paid package options!

Personal Training sessions are tailored to your goals, fitness level, and preferences. Techniques may include strength training to build muscle and improve overall body function, cardiovascular exercises to boost endurance and heart health, and mobility or flexibility exercises to enhance range of motion and prevent injuries. Functional training, which focuses on movements that support everyday activities, is also a key component.
