TRAINED BY TIANA
I've trained dozens of amazing people online, in person, in group classes, or one-on-one. Here's what some of them have said...
David B. - Toronto, ON
"I trained a lot in my 30's and 40's until I blew out my back and had to take a few years off. That stretched to many years off. In my, almost, old age I went looking for a personal trainer that I felt could work with me to regain fitness and reduce the daily pain associated with slowing down. I found Tiana. She listened, understood and designed a program for me and she makes me work twice a week. Hard but smart.In eight weeks I have significantly improved mobility, flexibility and HUGE strength gains. And pain levels (shoulder/back/hips/knees) are way down. And I have fun doing it!You want the right kind of personal trainer? Call Tiana."

"5 glowing stars. Tiana is awesome. As a one-on-one client - I get completely tailored programming and support for my strength-training, fitness, and nutritional needs. She gives unparalleled attention to my form and execution of each movement and exercise. She's patient and creative in explaining what I need to do. This makes the sessions demanding yes but the atmosphere easy. And that makes me want to keep going! Now I believe that is the book definition of an amazing coach !!!"

“Tiana’s [Youtube] workouts are helping me stay healthy and strong in my early 60’s in a way that is attainable and affordable and makes me feel good. I did not realize that training from home can be as effective and realistic as it has been with Tiana. I have been consistently doing Tiana’s online workouts for almost four months now... Even though the workout is online, it feels like I am a part of a class and I can feel Tiana’s energy. I love how she includes form cues and advice continually throughout the workouts... I have never really understood the power of the muscle-mind connection very well before, but Tiana makes that come to life.”
Ryan S. - Whitby, ON
"I have thought in the past about "exercise" as being simply something that makes me tired, sweaty, bored, and i didn't see much pay off in the rest of my life. But I am noticing pains, and stresses that i have been used to just coping with haven't been present for awhile. Not to mention my increased strength and mobility. I always look forward to seeing Tiana, and often look forward to the workout. But even the times when I don't, I always finish feeling like it has been a productive hour. Tiana's rigorous attention to form, accurate terminology, steady progress, variation mixed with familiarity gives me great confidence. Her professionalism, compassion and knowledge of the physics and biology of the musculoskeletal system have contributed to a great sense of trust that I can express problems I have physically and even emotional ones around self-trust. I look forward to continuing to Train with Tiana for a good long while yet!"
Katy F. - Toronto, ON
"I’ve worked with personal trainers in a gym before and competed in combat sports, and even over Zoom Tiana stands out as one of the best. She's done wonders for my mind-muscle connections. Her technical advice and corrections are somehow always perfectly timed and really enhance the quality and intensity of her workouts. Her style is matter-of-fact, encouraging, and educational. She’s always around to respond to an email, and she stays for a few minutes after classes in Zoom meetings to answer questions. In my opinion, for people who are beginners, hesitant or intimidated by gym culture, she’s an incredible resource.
​
These [Youtube] workouts are *super* affordable in general, but they are a steal if you take into account the quality of instruction. I honestly can’t recommend Tiana enough!"
Katherine E. - Toronto, ON
"I’ve had weight issues my whole life. And I’ve had various trainers with varying degrees of success. But when you meet the right one everything changes. You know when you know. Tiana has a particular brand of compassion, understanding and professionalism that is unparalleled. She has changed me from someone who loathes working out - to someone that looks forward to it. She goes the extra mile to help you nutritionally as well - which no trainer has ever done for me before. She is understanding about your day to day realities - but is also deeply enthusiastic about your success and will support you to move forward. And more importantly she is an extremely DECENT human being. She has the brains, the knowledge, the discipline and the skills of an epic trainer. What more do you want?"
Nida E. - Calgary, AB
"Tiana is an incredible personal fitness instructor who worked with my parents (both in their 60s) to help them build strength and confidence. From day one, she was patient, supportive, and genuinely invested in their progress. She tailored each workout to match their comfort level while still challenging them to push a little further each time.
Thanks to her guidance, my parents are not only much stronger now but also more independent and active in their daily lives. It’s been amazing to see their transformation!
Whether you’re just starting your fitness journey or already well into it, I’d recommend Tiana 100%. She truly knows how to meet you where you are and help you move forward."
Tracey B. - Toronto/NYC
"I started training with Tiana because I had no experience with weightlifting. I knew I needed to get stronger because I was starting to get frail, far too young, due to chronic illness. I also admired strong bodies, and had heard about the benefits of muscle and strength, especially in regards to maintaining health during illness flare ups. I trained with her for almost two years and got to the point where I felt confident enough to go to the gym on my own. She gave me a solid understanding of proper form and effective full-body training. When I wasn't sure about elements of my routine, I'd reach out to her and she'd set me on the right path.Now I've been training on my own for 8 years, and it's a regular part of my routine. I feel so confident because I'm strong and have practically reversed one major chronic illness. Tiana is also one of my close friends and I can never thank her enough for giving me the tools to build strength for longevity! She changed my life.."."
Tanisha T. - Toronto, ON
“My hometown’s loss is truly Calgary’s gain. Tiana is wonderful. She and I worked together virtually for about 10 months, and she’s a huge part of the reason why I feel hopeful about my health and wellness today. Tiana was recommended to me by multiple people and when we first connected, I was pretty dejected. The isolation of the pandemic had made me very sedentary, which only exacerbated the chronic pain I already lived with as a result of past injuries. This, along with a lot of eating-for-comfort, had led to serious weight gain which was only compounded when the turbulence of perimenopause hit. I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis. I didn’t recognize myself, and was feeling despondent. Tiana has taught me a LOT about food and weight loss, and helped me to take control of my own nutrition in a way that is manageable, revelatory — who knew that I could ever love plain Greek yogurt and cottage cheese?!? — and informed. She is comforting and gives encouragement when there are off-days (or weeks), and makes me feel good about the care that I try each day to show myself. That means a lot. If you need a nutrition and weight loss coach, be kind to yourself and reach out. Tiana is knowledgeable, honest, and supportive. - T.T.”

"Tell Tiana your body and fitness goals and she will make it happen! I have been training a few months and have already made significant gains. Every session is tailored to your goals and she makes sure you are doing each exercise correctly so you can get the most out of your workout. AND she motivates me!!! (which is hard to do!)"
Jessica S. - Ottawa
"I trained online with Tiana for about a year, and definitely recommend! She was able to adapt a program not only to my equipment availability but my needs as well. I was super impressed with how well she was able to spot things (through a screen!) and give really great cues so I could make adjustments, whether that was with my form or spotting that I should have the confidence to push a little further!"
