Foundation Program &
Personal Training Testimonials

“I first started at Xelf wanting to get in better shape. The Foundation Program gave me all the tools I needed to strengthen by body, and lose weight. After completing the Foundation program, I lost 6% body fat and gained an inch in height from drastically improving my posture. The coaches genuinely care and want to help people live long, healthy and active lives. Damian, Omar, and Rob are amazing at what they do and I feel privileged to have them coach me, and you will too!”

“The Foundation Program has improved my whole life by boosting my self confidence and strengthened areas that were weak. Now, I am able to do all of the exercises, and have never felt stronger. My new strength has improved my life by making my daily routine easy to do like carrying laundry or heavy jugs of water. Now when I engage in any daily activity I find myself engaging all the core areas of muscle which I have strengthened in this program to avoid injury. I am so happy I was able to participate in this life-changing program, it was an absolute blessing.”

I can't rave enough about this place...schedule your meeting now! What are you waiting for?”

“I feel a lot more confident since joining the Foundation Program. The trainers are always helpful with lots of knowledge on when to advance or regress the exercises. The core stability exercises have helped me reach the next level in my training regarding muscle building. I definitely made the right choice in joining this great atmosphere of a private fitness studio rather than a box gym setting. Can't wait for what is beyond the Foundation Program!”

“After a long time off I am back at Xelf and I feel great! I was pretty clumsy the first couple of weeks but now I am much more confident. Now that I am back exercising I am much better at dealing with stress and anxiety. Rob & Omar have been great at adjusting some of the exercises due to my pre-existing injuries and they are always watching to make sure my form is correct. I have A LOT more energy now! I have recently signed up for the next 6 months too! Thanks Xelf Team, I am always happy and smiling when I leave!”

“I just finished the 12-week Foundation Program and it was awesome! I've always been a yo-yo exerciser and have never managed to stick to any exercise routine for more than a few weeks. Now, I am at the end of my 12-week program and I’ve been exercising consistently and loving it! This is a HUGE change for me. I have always hated exercising and saw it as a chore, now I find I really enjoy it and look forward to each workout. The benefits have also been amazing. I feel better, look better, have more energy and my back and neck pain have decreased dramatically. Thank-you Xelf for an awesome program, I'd recommend it to anyone!”

“I wanted to start working out (again) but since I’ve tried so many other gyms at one time or another I didn’t know where to go. When I went for a tour I was very impressed with the layout of the studio. Very comforting and not a lot of machines crammed together with a bunch of televisions overhead. Also, at other gyms I never knew how to workout, how heavy to lift or how many reps to do and I would end up paying for a membership and not going. At Xelf, they coach/train you on each exercise to build a strong foundation, tell you why you are doing a particular move and what muscle groups are being used to make sense of everything. Every month is a new set of routines that you can go into the studio on non training days and do yourself because you know how to do the moves. No more guessing! Since joining Xelf, I am a lot stronger and I actually enjoy going to the gym and living an active lifestyle. So for all of you who are in the same rut as I was, come down to Xelf and begin your journey to living an active lifestyle.”

“Xelf has changed my life! I've always had body image issues, beginning my journey at Xelf has built my self-confidence. Knowing how to perform these moves correctly without hurting myself has made me feel stronger and more confident than ever before. Xelf has taught me I can do whatever I set my mind to. I've learned to appreciate exercising and have even started to enjoy it, the trainers really made it fun. Thank-you! From the bottom of my heart for everything you have taught me. These are skills I will be keeping and using for a lifetime.”
