😠 I tried this program earlier this year and I have to be honest, Alex’s diet is unsustainable and dangerous. The diet consists of: One egg and a piece of bread for breakfast Two pieces of bread or “palm size” quinoa with palm size protein for lunch. Nuts, a wedge of laughing cow cheese and a couple... People often mention Alex, program, Housefit, plan, weight, trainers, results, team, diet, nutrition,

    An honest review from my participation in the program: My partner and I are started the program in July 2022 and we saw results and quite fast! Staying on the meal plan was pretty tough, I wasn’t able to eat much. Fast forward about a month or two into the program, I started getting really lightheaded during workouts or even just walking for 20-30 minutes. I had no idea why. Then I started having serious migraines to the point my school and work was impacted. I told Alex about it and so did Naz. I would have to stop my workout with Naz about 15 minutes in because I would get violently ill. Alex didn’t seem to think it was a problem and just encouraged me to stay on the plan. I emphasized I feel low-energy, given I’m only allowed to eat an egg with a slice of bread in the morning, a small sandwich with two pieces of thin deli chicken and the tiniest portion of protein with no carbs for dinner. I was flushed all the day, and always dizzy. So I stopped the program to figure out why this was happening. After a few months, and several doctors, I found out the meal plan I was on was dangerous and had I kept going, it could’ve been fatal. I 1000% was not getting enough calories and my sodium intake was wildly low. I’ve seen a few reviews with similar experiences, so given the few occurrences of clients getting sick, I think they need to make a serious change. As much as I loved the results, I think Alex needs a professional dietician so they can be on alert for the symptoms his clients are having (especially if he’s charging thousands of dollars per month) I also recall not having much flexibility to rebook sessions when I got sick during the workout. So I lost hundreds of dollars…for something that wasn’t my fault and was a direct result of the meal plan. I will say I really enjoyed the workouts with Naz, and miss her a lot! She was such a pleasure! And as for Alex, he was very nice - just not experienced enough to be providing a meal plan without anyone monitoring the client.

    This program has been life changing. It positively impacted my relationship with food, fitness, and my body over the course of 6 months. I started with the fat loss phase and lost 23lb, and will start muscle this week. I have PCOS so it has always made fat loss a challenge but Alex was incredibly supportive and provided a custom weight loss and muscle program for my needs. Unlike other trainers I’ve hired in the past, Alex provides a comprehensive program that goes beyond physical training by providing a custom meal plan that takes the guess work out of the nutrition planning. He tells me exactly what to eat, how much to eat and when to eat. Alex also takes the time to educate his clients on the science of food and fitness. He is there every step of the way, answering my questions via messages and verifying my grocery purchases. I am in the best shape I’ve ever been, and look forward to continuing into the muscle phase and cut phase with him. This is one of the best financial and time investments I’ve made in myself and could not recommend Alex more. This program’s benefits and impacts are worth more than the price it costs. I did this program with my partner and would also recommend doing it with your partner, it makes it easier.

    Terrible vibes, I came THIS CLOSE to signing up twice in the last two years and both times after talking to Alex I just got a nagging feeling that this place is all about the money first and then client second. I reached out to him this week after a year since we last spoke, letting him know that this time I'm ready to sign up, and before asking any questions or answering any of mine, he asked if he could send me an invoice. I even told him I was "dying to sign up" and that I just needed some reassurance about my concern. Every single message of his talked about payment, whether it was, should he send me an invoice? Can I settle the invoice before he addressed my concerns? Instead of answering my questions he then went ahead and cancelled the invoice without waiting for me to let him know whether I wanted to cancel the invoice or not. A place that has zero flexibility, asks for all the money up front, doesn't offer any payment plans for clients, doesn't offer the chance to cancel membership if the service doesn't meet expectations... He didn't even agree to a consultation (the first one was over a year ago when I was considering signing up) before having me pay up. Those are big red flags that kept me from settling the invoice both times. I've only attached two screenshots of the message exchanges because I'm not sure what the privacy rules are here. There's another long 1 star review here on Google, I urge you to read it. It's well written and I'd check it out before signing up if I was you, because negative reviews can't be bought.

    I started the program on June 28, 2019, weighing 60kg. I paid up front (along with signing a set of physical damage waivers) and signed up for a 6-month routine of diet and gym routine. The 600-calorie no-salt diet did make me quickly lose 8 kgs of water, fat, and muscle in the short term, but it also landed me in a hospital emergency room for hyponatremia (sodium deprivation causing fatigue, headache, and vomiting). The exercise gave me quadriceps enthesopathy (kneecap tendon injury) and patellar tendinopathy (patellar tendon injury) so I wasn't able to walk anymore. I quit the program after 1.5 months and received a refund for the unused gym sessions. Coming out of the program, I've spoken to Consumer Protection Ontario (a government agency). I wish I had known before entering the program: 1) Personal trainers is not a regulated profession in Canada so there are no set rules, diets, or regimes to follow. 2) Alex being a "nutritionist" is a self-proclaimed title. Unlike a "dietitian", a "nutritionist" is not a certified or regulated professional designation. That could explain why he does not understand the life-threatening danger of sodium deprivation that he imposed upon all his clients. 1) The diet The no-salt diet was meant to deplete water retention in the body for accurate daily weight loss tracking. It would last through the entire program (6 months). My blood pressure was low to start with (120/60) and by the time I quit the program in 1.5 months, it had dropped to 89/49. I experienced various levels of discomfort including dizziness (light-headedness) , fatigue (no energy and only wanted to sleep through a whole day), and sudden vomiting during sleeping (this was super dangerous as I could have died from choking myself during sleeping). My family (e.g., my in-law who is a nurse) has expressed concerns from the get-go. I constantly communicated with Alex (gym owner) and my trainer Maryann. I sent them pictures of lower and lower blood pressure reads. The responses were 1) Maryann: thousands of people can graduate from the program so why can't you? You must trust the program. 2) Maryann: you must "stay clean" or I will report you to Alex 3) Alex: the blood pressure meter at Shopper's is not accurate 4) Maryann: your mother-in-law is a nurse, not a doctor so you should not listen to her 5) Maryann: the Pharmacist at Shopper's is not a real doctor. You cannot intake salt until you get a doctor's note and then Alex "may reconsider letting you take salt". My family worried about me so much and my husband was concerned about the cult-like language from the trainer. Eventually, I was not able to move my body and my husband sent me to the emergency room. The doctor told me that everything I was experiencing were symptoms of Hyponatremia (sodium deprivation). He said each person needs 2-4 grams of sodium per day. Hyponatremia can have deadly consequences. I told my trainer Maryann what the doctor said but she suddenly took a U-turn: 1) the diet was Alex's responsibility "it is his diet" 2) she was a nursing program drop-out so she knew about the danger of sodium deficiency 3) she wanted me to "educate Alex" about the importance of sodium so that "he can learn" and won't harm others. That is when I realized that I had had enough of Maryann's hypocrisy. 2) the gym sessions In addition to the diet at home, each of my exercise sessions started with jumping jacks and then were followed by various squats and burpees because the hips and the thighs are the biggest muscles and are the easiest to burn off calories. By early August (5 weeks into the program) I developed knee pain and could not walk downhill anymore. Throughout this Maryann was still urging me to go back to the gym to exercise so that she could get paid (she's paid by piecework). I took x-rays and ultrasound images and was diagnosed with both quadriceps enthesopathy and patellar tendinopathy. It costs more money to take the pills and the prescribed chiropractor therapies and physio-therapies than the 6 weeks of exercising from Maryann.

    Alex and team are incredible. I’ve been with Housefit for almost 4 months now and it’s exceeded my expectations. Not only do they have their program down to a science, they also listen to your goals and tailor their program/workouts etc to you. What I like most is that they are a kind, caring small business and genuinely want you to succeed. They are not gimmicky – they put in the work so that their clients can see their best possible results. My fitness trainer Johnathan has been amazing – he carefully thinks through the workouts, tailors them to me, is motivating, professional and listens. He also switches around the workouts to keep it fun. The great thing about Housefit is that it’s not just about working out, they help you and evaluate your overall fitness (sleep, nutrition, water intake etc). They help you adapt better habits that will help you be stronger, healthier (body and mind) and that will stay with you for the long run. They are also very responsive. If I have a question about working out or about nutrition or anything else, Alex has always there and will respond with great advice. He’s there for his clients even outside of the times you’re at the gym. After being in a major slump, Housefit has helped me get excited about my goals again – I have not only lost weight but have also become more focused in other parts of my life and have had a confidence boost. It’s really helped me turn a chapter. Would highly recommend this gym!!! Won’t disappoint.

    Housefit is a total game changer. I can’t say enough good things about this personal training space. I personally went through the program and achieved my goals with the help of Alex and his team back in 2019. From the nutrition aspect to the weekly strength training, I felt that this program was different than any other I had tried in the past. I was able to see results quickly and I felt great. It was truly life changing. Fast forward to this year, my son who is 11 wanted to try strength training and build his confidence and love of exercise. We were beyond lucky to have the head trainer, Jonathan as his trainer and I have to say that Jonathan is absolutely amazing. He was so incredible teaching my son the proper techniques while being encouraging and patient the entire time. He has really made a positive impact in my son’s life and for that we are eternally grateful. From what I have seen, Jonathan is clearly a gifted trainer with children and adults alike. I would 100% recommend this space to anyone who is looking to get fit and see results.

    This was honestly one of the best health decisions I’ve made. Alex and his team are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I learned so many tools, nutritional information and most importantly my body during this process. I initially found this place on my quest to finding an answer to why I wasn’t losing weight and possible correlation with having undiagnosed PCOS. Alex was so kind, informative and extremely helpful in not only explaining what I’ve been doing wrong but also setting me up with a meal plan and a wonderful trainer, Naz. In the course of 7 weeks, I lose somewhere around 20 pounds. I’ve always been determined and disciplined so this regime was perfect for me. Naz and I worked out 3 times a week and she’s a super star, we got along so great!

  • 5/5 Sarah Chong Y. 8 months ago on Google • 4 reviews
    Very happy with working with Alex and Naz. Naz is always so positive and great with motivating my workouts. And I appreciate the time and effort Alex has put into my nutrition plan. Overall, highly recommend. The team is always there to support and guide you no matter the time of day.

    I trained at Housefit for about a year and a half after leaving high school. Alex and his team are excellent, professional, and highly knowledgeable. With their help, I dropped from 200 lbs to 165 lbs. One of the best parts of Housefit is their trainers will keep you accountable to your diet plan with check-ins at every work out so they can log your meals. This helped me because I've always struggled with dieting properly because I lacked an accountability mechanism. The other plus to losing weight at Housefit is that they really build up your strength with resistance training so that you're shedding pounds of fat not muscle. By the end of their program, you'll be a lot slimmer and have a great foundation for further strength training!

    I looked at Housefit to begin my journey and getting healthier and fitter. I trained for a bit over 2 months. Alex was great to work with and answered any questions I had about my nutrition. Timea and Rolf were amazing trainers that worked with me on early mornings for my workouts. Best of all, I managed to lose lbs and inches all over. I learned a lot through my time with the gym and will endeavour to use it to continue my fitness journey. Thanks for the great experience!

  • 5/5 Gavin R. 1 year ago on Google
    After many many years of not making any progress I finally bit the bullet and after considerable research went with Housefit and what an excellent choice. Since day 1 I have been having amazing success on the program with Alex and his team. On my journey to lose 50kg’s I have dropped close to 25kg’s in just 4 months, well 3 really as I had a month off travelling. Alex designed a plan around my body / goals and provided a nutrition plan which is easy to understand, simple to shop for and not too hard to stick to. A monthly meeting with Alex along with him always being responsive on-line helps immensely. The trainers in the gym are knowledgeable, engaging and fun to work with. Shout out to Rolf as he encourages me to put in the effort and hit my targets. I look forward to reaching my goal as I continue to see results on both the scale and in the mirror each week. As I step through the program I am finding it easier to understand what is required to hit the goals whilst building the confidence to continue with the training once I get there. I can’t thank Alex and his team enough for getting me motivated and engaged on this journey so recommend you sign up now and get your own journey started, see you in the gym!

  • 5/5 Paul L. 2 years ago on Google
    Alex and Ali are amazing to work with. They really add a personal touch to your training. You gain some much knowledge and understanding of what it really takes to achieve your weight loss goals. I would definitely recommend everyone to visit and join with them. I am enjoying my journey with them and look forward to seeing my end results.

  • 5/5 ellen y. 1 year ago on Google
    I joined housefit about 3 months post-partum and the results have been amazing! I am stronger and leaner pre-pregnancy and I've only completed the first part of the program. Alex and the team were there to keep me accountable and pushed me whether it was for my eating plan or during workouts. It is hard work but 100% worth it!

  • 5/5 Dom C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great gym! Alex is really good about keeping things easy and coaching you in your nutrition and training. The trainers are really knowledgeable in the gym for the personal training as well!

  • 5/5 Brenda K. 1 year ago on Google
    I’m so thankful to have the Housefit Team be part of my journey in becoming healthy and strong. I’ve lost 30lbs in the last 3 months because I have felt fully supported by Naz and Alex. Naz, Alex, and the rest of the staff have extensive knowledge and experiences in fitness and nutrition that motivate and equip clients to attain the healthiest version of themselves. You guys are doing a great job! 🙏🙏🙏

  • 5/5 Peter S. 1 year ago on Google
    Wife and I joined HouseFit at different times, both of us really enjoyed the program and ultimately the results! Trainers are friendly, knowledgeable and adjust to any issues/ailments you may experience. Thorough and well thought out meal plan is provided and Alex takes the time to explain the science behind why you're doing what you're doing. Totally worth the investment in your health and wellness!

  • 5/5 Neetigyy C. 10 months ago on Google
    Joined housefit in November post rib injury. Alex and Rolf came together to work on my diet, to rebuild strength. Even when I had travel they came up with a customized plan for those days that I don’t compromise on my progress as well as making sure I enjoy my time. Highly recommend to anyone who intends to go through a transformation with great mentors.

  • 5/5 Kristine L. 11 months ago on Google
    The short and sweet: Amazing team, amazing experience, zero regrets in joining this gym. The long: Starting your fitness journey can be tough and daunting but Alex’s got you covered. From carefully tailored diets to the workouts, they have your fitness goals in mind when creating your program. One thing I absolutely have to point out is that life happens and things may not go according to plan. But Alex (owner) and Timea are attentive and caring - even when there’s a wall, they’ll boost you up from behind and help you overcome it. They’re patient with my unending questions and never fail to make sure I’m heard. My trainer Timea has this positive and infectious energy that keeps you going even on the most tiring of days. And good lord is she fit and a great role model. She made me realize just how strong I could be. I was never someone who enjoyed working out, but I genuinely look forward to all my sessions with her. For anyone who’s thinking of embarking on their fitness journey, there may be difficult days but the positivity and care from the team really pulls you through. It’s a process and I’m grateful I have this team behind me every step of the way. If you’re looking for a team to help you reach your fitness goals, this is it.

  • 5/5 Julianna K. 11 months ago on Google
    I've been with Housefit for the past 11 months. It is a boutique fitness that focuses on exercise and nutrition. I was able to lose 45 lbs of my pregnancy weight with Alex's program. I was stuck with my postpartum weight for a good 6 months (no change) until I started his program. Would highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Leisha W. 1 year ago on Google
    I’m so happy that I found Housefit years ago. Alex and his team are dedicated to helping you become your best self. I chose to invest in my health so I would have more energy and feel stronger. I left with a world of knowledge and the best feeling ever! The team worked with my lifestyle, dietary restrictions and even gave me workouts while I travelled. I left Housefit with the tools, knowledge and confidence to workout on my own. I love that they don’t want you to depend on them forever. So now 6 years and 2 pregnancies later, I can jump back in. They’ve trained my body and mind and now I can soar independently. Thank you for all that you do!

  • 5/5 Jasmine B. 11 months ago on Google
    Alex and his team at Housefit are the best personal trainers! If it wasn’t for my training at Housefit I wouldn’t have learnt to workout the way I do now and lose weight which was my primary goal when I started training here. They teach you about health and nutrition holistically and help you stay focused, whatever your fitness goal.

  • 5/5 M A. 1 year ago on Google
    Alex and his Housefit team are amazing. If you are looking for a way to learn about how nutrition affects and fuels your body, and gradual and effective diet and movement programming to change your life - look no further than Housefit. I began my fitness journey with Alex and his team prior to the pandemic, in 2019. I was starting a new chapter in my life and needed to focus on my health and self-confidence. I had been an active younger person but had let some things slide and needed a change, I wanted to get back to running, horseback riding and other activities I loved without hesitation. Let's face it, sometimes life gets in the way and fitness in your 50s looks a lot different than in your 20s or 30s... but its never too late to make a change. From the start Alex took the time to really help me examine my lifestyle habits and make changes to lose weight and get moving again so that I could feel better, regain energy and feel good about myself. He customizes meal plans, and provides stretching and strengthening programs for home to support what is done in the gym - he even built an exercise plan for me to do on vacation in Jamaica - and I lost weight there too! Admittedly, during the pandemic when the gym closed it was a challenge and being locked down and working from home caused me to slide back a bit - and recently some surgery also caused me to stop in order to recover - but now I am back on track and so happy. Communication and check-ins are a cornerstone of Alex's programming, and adjustments and modifications are made when needed. We are human and need that. Life happens. Injuries happen. We adjust. This is not a 'quick fix' diet plan. It's a lifestyle education. I have had 3 different trainers at Housefit over the years. They are all young and energetic and amazing- and on their own fitness journeys, which is so motivating to witness and follow. They are professional and knowledgeable and highly skilled - and most importantly really fun. The atmosphere at the gym is welcoming and clean and the equipment is top-notch. I would feel very well taken care of with any of the trainers at Housefit, but I am currently very lucky to have the amazing Naz - she is a patient and encouraging trainer- and her knowledge and enthusiasm keeps me motivated (not to mention her results in her own Cross-Fit and weightlifting competitions are mind-blowing)! She is my personal cheerleader and has enabled me to achieve personal bests I never thought possible. Overall I have gone from close to 180 lbs in 2019 down to my lowest at 126 in 2022. Now I am working at adding, building and maintaining 10+ lbs of muscle now through nutrition and putting in the hard work 3x a week with Naz. I have more energy for my busy and demanding job with my young students, I feel better in my skin and my clothes, and look forward to my 'gym days'. Importantly, I have learned how to track and fuel my body properly with the right nutrition for the activities I am taking part in. Naz and Alex have given me a new lease on life these past few years. Thank you Housefit - and my story is not over yet...! M.

    Absolutely amazing personal training gym with guidance on both food and exercise tailored to your goals. Alex the owner is amazing with tons of knowledge and my trainer Jonathan is top notch. If you are looking to transform your body this is the place to be!

  • 5/5 Vahe Y. 1 year ago on Google
    I met Alex a few years back, and I truly can’t be happier. I highly recommend everyone who’s looking for something truly special. All his dream team are extremely professional, knowledgeable and under guru Alex’s guidance and leadership nothing seems impossible to achieve. His vision is unique in this domain. If one is looking for a complete body transformation, healthy and fit lifestyle then this is the place. Highly recommended. Keep it up Alex and all the team, truly grateful and thankful for everything.

    Worth every penny ! Results speak for themselves. The process is supper simple to follow with regular check ins with Alex and Jonathan and we love that there is a huge focus on nutrition ! The plan is customized to your goals and body type and adjusted along the way to ensure success. My fiancé and I have been with HouseFit so far for about 8 weeks and our results are incredible , even our friends and family are extremely impressed. Prior joining HouseFit , we ate relatively healthy and worked out regularly, but we wanted to take our body to the next level of athleticism while losing that stubborn fat. Alex, thank you so much for guiding us in our transformation journey. To Jonathon our trainer for pushing us to levels of fitness that we did not even think it was possible. Adam & Kim

  • 5/5 Roland S. 2 years ago on Google
    Prior to joining Housefit, I started a weight loss journey using intermittent fasting. I was loosing weight, but it was slow and I felt lousy because I was not eating. The arrow in the diagram shows my weight loss graph when I joined Housefit. You can see the dramatic acceleration in weight loss, which has been consistent. Moreover, I am eating more than I usually do, but it is the right kind of food. I feel so much better. I have also come off of my medications. Shopping for food and meal prep is very straight forward and takes little time. Some of the meals are very tasty-that's coming from my kids who have shared what I have cooked. My exercise routine at the gym has been dialled in by Sajed perfectly. I burn off tons of calories without having any aches or pains the next day-I used to have pain just getting out of bed! Alex has tons of experience and an army of clients who have consistently undergone amazing transformations-check out his website. He knows what he is doing, and can back that up with plenty of results. You just have to follow the process-don't think about it too much and take action! Thanks Alex and Sajed. I'm getting my health back, and health is the first wealth. Now looking forward to getting jacked when the weight loss is complete!

    Housefit is amazing! Alex and Ali are terrific coaches, very knowledgeable and passionate on what they do. For context, I work crazy hours and have strenuous workload so I find it hard to find time for myself to develop a healthy lifestyle. However, with Housefit, they are very flexible with my time and very accessible whenever I need help. For a beginner like me, I find that their program is very straight forward and I was able to get excellent results in a short amount of time. Losing ~10 lbs within 3 weeks of starting is no easy feat, but I was able to achieve that thanks to them and I still have long ways to go. They also provide very detailed but easy to follow diet program and if you require different food requirements, alternatives will be provided. Same goes with the workouts, they are specifically tailored to my goals, and they are focused on keeping me on track as well as keeping me motivated. Ali and Alex are wonderful to work with and very personable. They go above and beyond my expectations of what a personal trainer would be like before taking on the program. All in all, I’m happy that I was able to find Housefit and are deserving of all the positive reviews posted about them before mine.

  • 5/5 Andrew I. 3 years ago on Google
    Alex and Ali have been great, the diet has been clear and easy to follow without being too restrictive and I've been getting great results with the training. They have also been great with scheduling and coming up with whole workouts that I can do over Skype with minimal equipment in my small apartment. Highly recommend their services if you're looking to get in shape or make a lifestyle change.

  • 5/5 Abishek V. 2 years ago on Google
    To be honest, results speak for itself. In 3 months I went from 32% body fat to 15%. You could probably try a regime at home and start getting fitter - but the personal attention and care Alex gives with a highly tailored personalized scheduled is just truly fabulous. I would highly recommend Alex for anyone who cares about physical and mental health and wants to live fitter. Positives : highly flexible schedule, personalized plan, nutrition plan that doesn’t punish the body, focus on care and the person rather than the business. Alex and all the trainers (Sajed, Rolph, Jonathan, others) are so friendly and invested in each person that it is hard to slow down or quit. The facility itself is extremely clean and sanitized and made me feel very safe.

  • 5/5 Julian M. 2 years ago on Google
    After a lifetime of feeling uncomfortable in my own skin, Alex and my trainer Jon have shown me what I’m truly capable of. It’s hard to express emotion through a Google review, but over the last several months my entire outlook on life changed. Seeing this change in myself is something I never could have imagined and I have Housefit to thank. Alex and Jon are extremely attentive, they care about your progress and they give you all the tools you need to succeed. Between the workouts and the nutrition plan, the formula they develop for their clients is something that just works. I’m forever grateful for what they’ve helped me accomplish.

  • 5/5 S R. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely love this place! Alex (the owner) and his trainers are amazing and plan the workouts and the meal plan which is nutrient dense and so easy to follow. Alex is extremely knowledgeable, Rolf my trainer is awesome, he has whipped me back in an awesome shape and stamina. This is the fittest I’ve ever been! I’m extremely pleased and very happy with Housefit!

  • 5/5 Frankie T. 2 years ago on Google
    I would 100% recommend coming to Housefit if you are looking for a challenge for yourself. The program that was curated for me was originally suppose to be for 6 months but I enjoyed the sessions I was having with my trainers so much that I extended it for an additional 6. The progress I made wouldn't have been possible without Alex and all the trainers I've been with. Alex will provide you with the necessary dietary tools you need to start losing weight and gaining muscle. I also had a variety of different trainers throughout the year which taught me a slew of different techniques. Honestly Housefit was like a second home for me and I was sad to be leaving after the year

  • 5/5 Laura P. 2 years ago on Google
    Housefit is great! I have really enjoyed coming here! Very simple process and the diet plan is easy to follow and not time consuming at all. The results have been amazing!

    Signing up with Housefit was one of the best things I have ever done! Alex and team provided me with both nutritional counselling and workout plan that fits my body type. Jonathan is an excellent PT, who always encourages and pushes me to be the best version of myself! I definitely recommend housefit for a overall amazing experience and transformation. 😎

    Housefit is a fantastic gym! Alex is extremely professional and works hard to develop a nutrition plan that's simple to follow and catered to individual religious and medical needs. While the meal plan takes dedication and can be tough to follow, when coupled with the workouts it leads to real results! The entire team at Housefit is welcoming and encourage you to be the best version of yourself. I've never felt healthier - I've seen clear results in my weight loss and improvement in my stamina and strength! I'll definitely be recommending Housefit to family and friends!

    I can truly say that despite our life experience; as a Personal Trainer and Nutritionist the Owner is surely awesome. He taught me a lot in life not just on the gym related world. I will surely recommend him. The things he taught me I will always carry on with me. Even today I still carry those things with me. All the best to him.

    My wife and I started training with Alex and his team to prep for our wedding and we couldn't be happier with the results we've achieved in the first 2-3 months. Alex is super knowledgeable and a true master at his craft. His customized nutrition plan and work out routine is all catered to your own body type, lifestyle, and more. Very detailed and it works! We're now 4-5months in and amazed of what we accomplished with the knowledge we've gained through his program. Shout outs to Jon as well for keeping us on top of our fitness game!! Looking forward to keeping our summer bods!!

    This was an incredible experience. The meal plan/diet Alex suggested was very easy to follow. I didn't need to buy too much groceries. The trainers were very ambitious and patient to train their clients. It would be great if Alex could have retained their trainers while I was training there but I also understand it can't be his fault. Equipments in the gym were simple but enough to train my body.

    I am very happy with Alex and his trainers. Alex is very experienced and professional. He designs your workout plan based upon your situation and his diet plans, albeit challenging, are easy to apply. I was with Alex before COVID, I went through the whole program and achieved all weight and muscle targets as he planned. The results were so good that my husband signed up for his program as well. Then, COVID came. While I kept workout at home myself during the last 2 years, I gained lots of weight (I ate much!), so did my husband. We went back to Alex this May, and it’s amazing to see I lost all the weight I gained in the last two years within just 2 months. All the trainers working for Alex are good. (My husband and I have done sessions with a few of them). They are also experienced, energetic, and committed. It is more fun working out with trainers than doing it myself at home. I really enjoy every session I attend. I highly recommend Alex and his trainers to anyone who needs lose weight and/or become more fit.

    Today I finished my 6 month course. Lose 20KG from 92KG to 72KG. This gym and coaches are very professional, especially ROLF brother. And Alex would video call every once in a while to see if everything was going according to plan. If the weight is stuck, it will help us to find out the problem carefully. A big thank you to my good friend Flora for bringing me here. From winter to summer. I am very happy! Maintain a healthy lifestyle Come on!

    I tried this program earlier this year and I have to be honest, Alex’s diet is unsustainable and dangerous. The diet consists of: One egg and a piece of bread for breakfast Two pieces of bread or “palm size” quinoa with palm size protein for lunch. Nuts, a wedge of laughing cow cheese and a couple Melba crackers, or a half cup of yogurt and a snack. And palm-size protein for dinner with veggies. You can’t have any sodium at all. All the low reviews are right, this is extremely dangerous! I got so sick and I told Alex several times but Alex brushed me off. I lost so much money here, even my trainer felt bad and knew what Alex was doing was wrong. So let me give those considering HouseFIT advice: I listed the diet above, up the protein, and instead of spending 2-3 grand a month on his “program”, go to Orange Theory or F45 about 4-5 times a week for 200-300 a month instead - and you will see what a ripoff this place is. Bonus: the trainers at these gyms are all certified and will give you a HEALTHY meal plan (bigger bonus: they won’t charge you for their time)

    To be grateful for “ Housefit ” is an understatement! In my 60’s, frozen shoulder, stiffness and accepting of my love handles, has now changed. Only 8 weeks in, down 12 pounds and almost cured of my frozen shoulder. I’m active again, eating more and maintaining a healthy journey. Thank you Alex and Naz! You are so appreciated ! !🏋🏻‍♂️

    Training at HouseFit was an amazing experience. The trainers were personable, knowledgeable, and committed to helping me stay accountable to the diet plan. Moreover, they created engaging personal training sessions with dynamic and achievable exercises. Thanks to HouseFit I was able to lose 45lbs and I felt healthier and stronger than ever before. Truly a transformational experience - I highly recommend them if you want results!

🫤 This gym was pretty reasonable for a while, given the perks of the black card membership. However since the beginning of the summer, it has been absolutely crowded with young high-school aged teens that show up in groups of 4 and higher chatting around the equipment. I recently realized that high-sc...
