WHY XELF
Why Members Stay
Most people who walk through our door have already tried a commercial gym, an app, or a trainer, and it didn't stick. Here is what we do differently.
A Program, Not A Guess
Almost everyone who comes to Xelf starts with the Foundation Program. It is a 12 week program designed to improve your overall strength, movement ability, core stability and posture. We hear all the time that a client has never seen something so structured and laid out from day 1.
Small Groups, Not A Crowd
The Foundation Program is a hybrid between personal training and group exercise. Our semi-private strength training runs at a maximum ratio of 4 clients to 1 trainer, and our customized semi-private option is capped at 3 to 1. That means real coaching in every session — never a crowded class.
A Room You Feel Comfortable In
We hear that our space feels very comfortable to learn a new skill in, which can be an uncomfortable feeling. We really strive to provide a comfortable environment for anyone looking for long-term success with strength training.
WHAT WE OFFER
Services Built Around You
At Xelf Fitness Studio, our services are designed to help you achieve your fitness goals. Whether you want to keep up with your grandkids or run a half-marathon, we'll guide you on the path to success.

MEMBER STORIES
Why Members Love Xelf
Every quote below was written by a Xelf member.
Mark M., 33
“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!”
Mary Z., 52
“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.”
Dominique P., 28
“Stop looking, you've found the perfect gym. Damian, Omar and Rob are amazing at what they do. I'm 2 months in and I can't get enough. I met with several trainers before finding Xelf and what got me was how obvious it was that these trainers genuinely love what they do and truly want to make you better! I can't rave enough about this place...schedule your meeting now! What are you waiting for?”
Pippa C., 27
“Just finished the Foundation Program and it was such an amazing experience! I lost 7% body fat and feel healthier and stronger than ever. The Xelf team is professional, attentive and provide a warm and welcoming environment to work out in. I highly recommend this place to both beginners and more advanced individuals looking to improve their health and fitness!”
Cheryl H., 62
“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!”
Adrienne C., 48
“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!”
Amber P., 30
“Xelf is an amazing place to start your journey to a healthy lifestyle. The trainers are truly fantastic! They are experienced, knowledgeable and genuinely care about your health and progress. Omar, Damian, and Rob provide positive encouragement and motivate you to reach your personal best. I recently completed the Foundation program and could not be more proud of both the physical and mental changes I have experienced. I am extremely grateful for the support and techniques I have gained! I highly recommend Xelf!”
Sandro Z., 21
“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!”
Margaret L., 53
“The best trainers and place to work out in Hamilton, absolutely! I came to Xelf after physio and surgery, Damian has helped me get more range of motion than I had before surgery and I do better Every time I go. I feel great and I can do a lot of things I thought I would never be able to do again. Thank you.”
Liz S., 55
“A GREAT gym which separates itself from the large, impersonal gyms by having excellent trainers and a proven game plan to help you along your journey to a more physical lifestyle. The positive changes in my energy and strength is nothing short of amazing! If you are ready to make a change, the trainers at Xelf are ready to help you get there! I recently completed the Foundation program and could not be more proud of both the physical and mental changes I have experienced. I am extremely grateful for the support and techniques I have gained! I highly recommend Xelf!”
Jen H., 28
“Xelf gave me quality one-on-one instruction that allowed me to learn the foundation of getting fit and healthy, and safe strength training. The trainers are friendly, knowledgeable and personable; the environment is new, spacious and comfortable. Xelf surpassed my expectations and set the bar high. All around a great experience :)”
Kajeen W., 26
“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.”
