Let’s talk about strength training! Being strong and moving well is vital to your health, whether you are a high-performance athlete, or 70 years old just trying to keep up with your grandkids, health is wealth. Strength training, improves your metabolic rate, the rate in which your body burns calories, increases muscle mass, improves posture, ensures independence, and also improves cardiovascular health.
The Grit Strength & Conditioning team will provide a safe, positive outlet for individuals (youth and adults alike) to build strength, improve movement, gain confidence & develop resiliency.
Our mission is to ensure a thorough training experience delivered from coaches who understand and educate our clients on quality movement and injury prevention. We work towards inspiring our clients to improve their fitness capacity and coach them as individuals not as a one size fits all approach.
Everyone who walks into the gym is different. At Grit we take an in-depth approach when creating tailored programs to accommodate everyone’s specific needs. We strive to help you improve your quality of life, keep up with your kids, reach the next level in your sport, or achieve whatever goals you set.
There’s a difference between getting tired and getting better, working hard, and working smart. Anyone can make an individual tired but there is a fine line between being effective and poor coaching. That is where we separate ourselves.
With each of our clients, we take an individual approach rather than a one size fits all. For each client, it does not matter if they have never stepped foot in a gym to a seasoned athlete, workouts and programs will be tailored for their current fitness level and goals to maximize results. With personal training being an unregulated profession anyone can call themselves a personal trainer. That is why at Grit our trainers bring qualified post-secondary schooling in the fitness & health field and extensive practical experience to our facility.
Our owner, Brock Heshka, played high-level hockey in his upbringing. Himself and fellow hockey players struggled to find a place that fit their needs for sports training. Brock suffered a few injuries from poor personal training such as sciatica, back injuries and hip problems leading to hip surgery many years later. What Brock did not know is there are many different personal training certifications. He enrolled in college, studying fitness and health promotion. This is where his focus shifted and he found a passion for working with the general population. Brock wanted to offer a training offer experience that could be held to a high standard. There is also a lot of miss information in the fitness field such as diet plans, fat loss pills, fads etc. Also, the fear of being injured is the thought of many. Brock has been there and understands why you feel that way. It can be tough and confusing who to trust. That is why Brock went the extra step to further his education to offer you more value for what you need and want.
