Testimonials

"Kaleena has been working with me and my family at our home for several months. She takes the time to learn about our individual and changing needs and has incorporated these into our fitness programs, using the equipment available in our condo building. Kaleena is friendly to work with and always arrives on schedule."

"I have been very happy with Kaleena's services. More than anything I wanted a simple exercise program that was fun and challenging. I also needed to learn some basic strength, cardio and floor exercises using proper form. Kaleena provided me with an individual exercise program that met my needs. She also taught me how to vary the exercises to stay motivated. After two months, I feel stronger and more confident that I will achieve my fitness goals.
Thank you Kaleena!"

Best Trainer in Toronto!

"Kaleena helped me to reach my first fitness goal of losing more than 30 pounds to get down to my target weight of 200 over the last few months. I was unable to exercise much because of various pre-existing injuries, but with her nutritious (and delicious!) meal plans I was still able to reduce my weight to where I want it anyway. Now that I've "made it" this far and my injuries are recovering, I feel very encouraged and motivated to begin working out and get my now leaner body into good shape. Of all the personal fitness trainers in Toronto, Kaleena was the only one who was able to adapt her fitness strategy to my needs and limited ability to work out. Her meal plans have been some of the most enjoyable meals I've had and they were all the more enjoyable knowing that they were helping me lose the extra weight. With Kaleena's continued support and guidance, I can't wait to get started on getting my slimmer body "firmed-up" and into the kind of shape that I can take to the beach without being self-conscious. Thanks Kaleena! You really are the best trainer in Toronto!"

"Kaleena was one of the first trainers we hired when we started Maternal Fitness Rx in 2007. Since joining the team the has gone over and above our standard of excellence and attention to detail. She has brought the same empathy and diligence to effect both regular clientele as well as medically high risk clients. Working with Maternal Fitness Rx and reporting to our medical director Dr Jon Barrett, Kaleena has demonstrated the ability to remain consistent and reliable, thorough and attentive, extremely dependable, hard working, patient and kind. Kaleena has succeeded in working with us in all kinds of situations…one on one… one- on- two (husband and wife) from people with full gyms to more modest spaces where Kaleena would bring all necessary equipment. People with all kinds of irks and quirks (aching back , carpel tunnel, sore knees….the list goes on and on). Some people want to loose those last few pounds or reduce and eliminate cellulite, other want to train for a marathon and others are even on bed rest… All this has been done with countless modalities and ever-effective personalization: to name a few- yoga, cardio training, effective breathing and stretching exercises, resistance based training, calisthenics, core work and even nutrition.

I know personal trainers… and I know that it takes a certain type of person to come through over and over and over for so many different people with such different needs and likes and dislikes. I hope Kaleena never parts from our organization."

"Kaleena helped me build out my work out regiment to add variety. I was needing coaching to learn new exercises and to further my weight training. Kaleena did an exceptional job at coming into my home and helping me use my current equipment by refining my routine and providing exceptional knowledge around ways to maximize my performance and get more out of my work outs. I can't say enough about her reassuring and organized approach. She was always a pleasure to spend an hour with! I will definitely continue to use Kaleena to help augment my busy lifestyle with a healthy and balanced workout schedule. Kaleena was the perfect fit for what I needed and my end measurement results of increased body muscle and decreased body fat prove Kaleena's recipe for success works!"

"I had been looking for awhile for a trainer who would suit my requirements. My requirements weren’t that unique but I wasn’t impressed with many of the trainers that I met with. My goals were simple, I wanted to build muscle mass so I needed someone who was knowledgeable on muscle gain, and I also wanted someone that I would be comfortable working with in the process. During the first session, I knew that Kaleena was going to be a good fit. She has a deep understanding of each muscle and how to target it, how to focus on certain areas to get that “beach body” look, and at the same time she is always pleasant to train with. After three months of training with Kaleena, I had gained more than 3 inches on my chest, 2-1/2 inches on my biceps and lost 2 inches on my waist. With Kaleena’s help and knowledge I had exceeded my goals. I continue to train with Kaleena today and look forward to taking things further with my strength training."

CLIENT UPDATE: Over 3 years and 250 sessions later Dan continues his fitness regimen, training with Kaleena, and looks better than ever! He has become so strong that he has to replace the Bowflex Selecttech dumbbell set he has because it's too light! Way to go!

"Thanks to Kaleena, I felt confident flaunting newer toned arms in a strapless gown at my best friend's wedding, all in 4 short weeks! Kaleena has a great disposition and a willingness to tailor and customize workouts for the benefit of her clients! You rock Kaleena :)"

This was my very first time hiring a trainer and I was really very skeptical. But after my first two workouts with Kaleena I knew I had made the perfect choice. She is always on time, very professional and extremely knowledgeable on fitness. Working with her is very comfortable. She encourages and pushes you with just the right amount of force. I loved the fact that she prepared a tailored plan just for me and was interested in what I wanted out f the whole experience. I feel so much better since I started my sessions with her. I am looking forward to continuing my workouts in future.

"I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you for creating such an amazing service! Kaleena was the perfect personal trainer for me...she is amazing at what she does...always new workout routines and she challenges you to go further than you thought you could (safely). I am so much stronger and feel so much better after my 12 sessions. What a great way to return back to work after maternity leave!"

"I started working out with Kaleena in April 2008. With Kaleena's help, I have made rewarding measurable gains in my physical fitness in the time frame she promised (8 - 12 weeks). I continue to work out with Kaleena as she provides realistic and meaningful guidance relevant to my fitness goals. I would definitely recommend Kaleena as a personal trainer."

“I began training with Kaleena Lawless in July 2007 realizing that I needed to get into shape. After a short time, my energy levels began to increase, and I started seeing results, becoming much stronger and toned. Kaleena and I trained 3 times per week for 1 hour. Kaleena takes her training very seriously. Her optimism and ability to motivate kept me interested and gave me the results I was hoping for. I highly recommend Kaleena for her ability to customize the workout routine, and make working out enjoyable and effective.”
