Our mission is to cultivate a strong, unified fitness community that welcomes individuals from all walks of life, providing a supportive environment where everyone can comfortably pursue their health and fitness goals. We are a haven for trainers who prioritize their clients over numbers, firmly believing that success is achieved through a blend of scientific knowledge, sustainable practices, and genuine compassion.
Our journey began as trainers at a local box gym, where we found ourselves increasingly disenchanted with the sales-driven, numbers-focused approach to fitness that seemed to pervade the industry. As the COVID-19 pandemic unfolded, we seized the opportunity to step away and seek a different path—one that would allow us to train clients in a manner that prioritized genuine results over cookie-cutter methods.
Jay brought over a decade of experience as a coach and trainer, while Elena, having been a professional athlete, brought a fresh perspective from her years of training. Together, as JK Fitness Coaching, we teamed up with Danny Fetter of Fetter Fitness to lay the foundation for what would become The Studio Gym.
Our growth has been a testament to our commitment to maintaining a client-focused approach. We have expanded our facilities twice, each time moving to a larger and better-equipped space. Despite our growth, we've remained true to our core values: fostering community partnerships, supporting local businesses, and contributing to our community in Canada. Our story is one of passion, resilience, and a steadfast belief in making a meaningful impact on the lives of those we serve.
