I have been working with Poul for almost 8 years. Originally he got me into tip-top shape for my wedding but I could not stop there. I also had a desire to run a half marathon- so with Poul's guidance I now run competitively. My greatest success was running the Toronto half marathon and being in the top 20% of my age group. My muscles and posture look fantastic. I am very impressed with Poul's exercise and nutritional knowledge, he makes my workouts challenging and full of variety. I never get bored because he motivates me to "go the distance".
I always look forward to every workout with Poul. Personal training is one of the best investments I have ever made because it never stops producing results! |

I am proud to say that I was able to complete my first adventure race this season with a great time thanks to Nielsen Fitness. Personal training twice a week made a huge difference in my performance. The knowledge and nutritional tips I have learned are invaluable. Most importantly, I am always motivated because the workouts are always changing and customized to my specific needs. Merci! |

I was apprehensive about using a trainer as I believed I was able to workout on my own as I had for years. After one session, at the recommendation of a friend, I was amazed at what a difference working with Nielsen Fitness made. Their training system has an incredible ability to focus on eliminating your weak areas and then moving your whole body towards your specific goals. As one might expect my physical strength has reached new heights, but what I have found the most amazing is the mental strength improvement I have realized. The Nielsen Fitness techniques allow you to unleash mental and physical power you never knew you had! |

Friends insisted that a great trainer could help me after a bicycle accident left me weak, round-shouldered and flabby. Nielsen Fitness turned out to be a great choice. Using a unique blend of encouragement and firmness, personal training has helped me work towards my goals. Sixteen pounds lighter, not embarrassed to wear short-sleeves and able to do everything from snow-shovelling to jogging. All in one short year. Thanks Nielsen Fitness! |

I have trained with Poul since September 2005. Poul quickly identified my strengths and my weak points. Poul has designed a training program that has made it possible to achieve my goals and consistently pushes me to prove to myself that I can exceed my expectations! |

I have been a Spinning instructor for over seven years and I have seen many personal trainers at the various clubs where I teach, and I can confidently say that no trainer compares to Poul. His training system has changed my body and energy levels - I have never been so toned and healthy. I used to have back pain and now I don't. My doctor is convinced that it is because I hired Poul! I recommend Nielsen Fitness to anybody looking to improve their fitness level - it is a system that works! |

Poul has been our personal trainer for four years, working with us on a weekly basis. In addition to being very knowledgeable in his field, he quickly understood our goals and has continually provided advice and varied programs. He uses a holistic approach, incorporating flexibility, strength, posture, balance, endurance along with promoting a healthy eating regime.
He is encouraging without being "soft" on us. He constantly motivates us to move through the difficult movements. Most importantly - he ensures we are doing the moves correctly and reinforces how it will benefit us.
The results have been significant. We are leaner, more toned and far fitter than before. Even our friends and colleagues have noted the difference.
Poul has responded to our needs in a carefully planned way that has addressed our personal goals. He listens to us and addresses the issues we raise. Each week he develops a training program uniquely for us and makes notes on the program as to how we should differentiate the plan for our individual needs. In between each weekly session, we work on the program on our own.
Thanks Nielsen Fitness! |

I am a 45 year-old entrepreneur and mother of three children ages 8-13. My Nielsen Fitness workouts have transformed my body and energy levels in noticeable and sustainable ways. I now have a more sculpted body, can actually see my abs, and can do 12 chin-ups in a row.
I am regularly asked if I weight train or was a former gymnast (I am not!), and people are typically surprised to learn that I am 45 and have 3 children. I don't have a natural affinity for sweating and working hard in a gym, but Poul inspires me to push myself harder and really make use of my limited work-out time.
In my 5 years training with Poul, I have been impressed by many things: his ability to customize my work-outs and really diagnose what I need to keep me improving rather than merely maintaining; his constant creativity, and the fact that he makes the strenuous process of training actually feel fun.
Poul has a strong background in the physiology of what he does, and his care and knowledge are two reasons why I have never been injured in my workouts. At 45, I have a more toned body and more energy than I had at 25, and Poul has been a huge, contributing factor! |

As I enter my late 30s I'm in the best shape of my life thanks to Nielsen Fitness. The excruciating pain I had in my lower back due to osteoarthritis a few short years ago is now gone. Poul's patient, creative, practical approach to fitness and the personal example he sets are definitely worth the investment! |

After 18 months under Poul's watch, I am stronger and more powerful than I have ever been.
Poul is knowledgeable and driven, he manages to maximize your output without compromising safety. Poul skilfully blends theory and science with old-fashioned hard work.
He was a major factor behind Team Canada's success at the 2005 Wife-Carrying World Championships and has been featured along with Team Canada on numerous television programs and newspapers.
Since beginning to work with Poul I have referred him to numerous friends who have been as impressed with him as I am. I would recommend Poul to anyone who is looking to get stronger, faster and smarter in their personal training efforts! |
