Beyond Fitness

I was starting to train again after many years away and I injured my knee training by myself. A friend recommended Beyond Fitness and Sarah Jane connected me with Yemi. I had 6 sessions with Yemi followed by 3+ weeks of recovery and 4 physio sessions to repair my knee and back. I'm still not back to where I was but I have 2 more physio sessions booked and I've stopped popping the Tylenol to get through the day/night. Yemi was enthusiastic but focused on upper body and functional fitness and didn't understand my priority was to strengthen my legs so that my previously injured knee stabilized. I gave 2 stars because the facility is nice, although small and with limited equipment.

This is the type of fitness facility I was looking for when I first came to Victoria years ago and couldn't find! Coming out of the pandemic I was looking for a place that could get me back in shape - with an emphasis on functional fitness. Sarah-Jane has created a terrific facility and has great trainers. She understood what I was looking for and matched me with a great trainer. Nicky has challenged me and ensures the exercises I do are appropriate for how I'm feeling that day and my particular issues. I work more in one hour than I would do in two hours on my own and come away tired but inspired. I also appreciate that every body type and fitness level are accommodated and I don't feel out of place. The staff and clients are all supportive and I actually look forward to going! If you want to make an investment in yourself this is a great place to do that!

Almost 2 years later - haven't had to go back to physiotherapy and I'm feeling better than I have in years. Workouts are always changing - and I'm never bored. Now ten pounds lighter, but more importantly I feel stronger and healthier. Still love coming here - who'd have thought I'd enjoy exercise so much! Nicky motivates me to strive for increased strength and stability and my mood is always improved by the time I leave. Would highly recommend!
