Celebrate Like a WARRIOR!

I’ve just signed up for something kinda crazy to celebrate my 42nd birthday this year. I’ve decided to participate in the Warrior Dash, that is taking place in Barrie, Ontario this year on July 21st. As my birthday is on July 16th, I thought the timing was great, and it makes for a great followup to my New Year’s Day celebration which was the Polar Bear Dip! This is in line with one of my New Year’s Resolutions, to expose myself to new and exciting experiences this year. Watch the video and tell me this doesn’t look like an awesome event! […]

Getting fit in 2012

He grits his teeth and strains his face as he drags 31.8 kilograms of weights across the span of the gym, not once or twice, but four times. The Toronto chef came to Fusion Fitness several months ago to deal with a weight issue. He found that he was constantly tasting different dishes at work and that often translated to packing on extra pounds. “I fell off the wagon a few years ago,” he said. “I had my first baby and I got busy with my own business and didn’t have time to catch up with my own health. I thought, if I want to be there for my daughter, then I have to [...]

New Year Fitness: Get in Top Form for 2012

Happy New Year… Another year has passed and we now have the opportunity for another fresh start! Just a few days ago I was interviewed by the Toronto SUN for a piece on New Year’s Fitness Goals. During this interview I shared what I consider to be some of the key elements for setting and achieving your health and fitness related goals for 2012. Here is the Toronto SUN article and a brief video on the SUN website with some footage from our interview: Some other New Year’s fitness suggestions I offered included: 1. You can’t out-train a bad diet. You need to realize that exercise alone, although very important, is not enough. Your nutrition plan has to be your priority, especially if your goal is to lose some body fat and keep it off. […]

Reboot Your Body Toronto Fitness Seminar

I just recently did my first formal seminar presentation called Reboot Your Body. It was a success, with a great turnout and some lots of positive feedback. I also learned a lot and I look forward to raising the bar for my next seminar! At Reboot Your Body I shared my strategies for losing fat, reshaping the body, slowing the aging process, and feeling younger. We cut through the fluff and fads, and focused on the most efficient and effective methods of achieving your fitness goals based on my 20+ years of personal experience, and based on what gets my clients results. Here are a couple of short video excerpts from the seminar: […]

What Is Your Inspiration?

I just spent a great Father’s Day with my wife and daughter, my 2 favorite people on earth, which made me realize how lucky I am… and how much I love spending my Sundays like this! This got me thinking about what is really important to me in my life, and what motivates me to improve myself and grow as a person, as well as with my business. I recently attended a weekend seminar for business and personal development, and one of the exercises they had us do to help us become more motivated and focused on our goals was to put together a short “Why” video. My WHY video is a collection of images that remind me of what is important to me in my life… what inspires me and drives me to do what I do, and to grow personally and professionally. This is my WHY video… let [...]

Run For Their Lives!

OK, I think I need to start by telling you how I got myself into this predicament… I was speaking to one of my clients, Giselle, (who also happens to be a personal trainer, and a long distance runner) about how I don’t think long distance running is a particularly healthy way to train. I proceeded to put my foot into my mouth by claiming that I could keep up with a runner without training like one, by simply being fit and strong from following my regular strength training and interval training program. Naturally, Giselle invited me to put my “money where my mouth is” by signing up for an upcoming charity run. I said I’d think about it, which I suppose was good enough for her… because the next day I received an email confirming that I’d been signed up for the Sporting Life 10K Run on May 1st! [...]
