We’re so glad you found us! We’ve been in the personal training business in Toronto since 2006 and are proud to now serve clients in Ottawa. We’ve helped thousands of clients achieve their fitness goals and we’d love to do the same for you.

Whether delivered in your home or condo or virtually, our workouts are fully customized, highly-effective and, most importantly, safe. They're also fun (most of the time!) and super rewarding.

Though we train clients of all ages and fitness levels, we specialize in working with adults 50+ and those with special or unique needs (chronic pain, injury rehab, etc.)

two ways to work with us in Ottawa

01.

With more than 15 years of experience, our in-home training is at the core of what we do. As your personal trainer in Ottawa, we’ll begin with a detailed assessment, set clear goals, and bring everything needed to guide you through safe, effective, and personalized workouts, all from the comfort of your home.

02.

Ottawa VIRTUAL TRAINING

Our virtual training sessions offer the same level of care, results, and coaching as our in-home option, all through a simple video call. All you need is a reliable internet connection, a screen, and a little room to move. As your personal trainer in Ottawa, we’ll bring the energy and expertise to you, wherever you are.

INVESTMENT

We offer two levels of service: Express (40-minute sessions) and Platinum (60-minute sessions + extra perks). Rates begin at $75/session (Express) and go up from there depending on the level of service you choose, how many sessions you purchase at once and how often you train. We don’t post it here simply to avoid confusion – but you will receive a full price sheet after your free first workout. No secrets or surprises!

WHAT TO EXPECT: OUR UNIQUE PROCESS

With more than 17 years in the industry, we’ve developed a personal training process that truly sets us apart in Ottawa. It’s designed to deliver real results with a clear, supportive approach from day one. Here’s how it works:

01.

DETAILED ASSESSMENT AND
MINI WORKOUT

To start, you’ll connect with one of our experienced team managers who will ask a few questions, perform a quick assessment, and go over your fitness goals and available training options, including pricing and package details.
If you’re ready to move forward, we’ll complete the onboarding process and pair you with a personal trainer in Ottawa who’s the right fit for you. Not quite ready? We’ll leave you with all the details so you can take your time and decide when you’re ready.

02.

WORKOUTS BEGIN!

After you begin training with your assigned coach, the support doesn’t stop there. Poul and the rest of our team stay actively involved behind the scenes, tracking your progress and helping to keep things on track.
We’ll follow up from time to time to ensure your experience is positive and you’re feeling good about your results. Need anything along the way? We’re always available to answer your questions or address any concerns.

03.

ONGOING MEASUREMENTS AND
CHECK-INS

At regular intervals, which we’ll decide together when you sign up, we’ll conduct a reassessment to see how things are going. A manager will coordinate with you to attend a session alongside your trainer to measure progress and, more often than not, celebrate some impressive results.

You’ll also have a chance to refine your goals or set new ones, keeping your training focused, effective, and aligned with your evolving needs.

When I first approached Nielsen Fitness, I was hesitant as I had bad experiences with other gyms and trainers before – but from the first meeting with Poul I realised I had no reason to be. He listened to my fears and asked all the right questions. Before I knew it, I was seeing changes in not only my posture, but my overall health.

L. Murphy

Since starting with Nielsen Fitness three years ago, I’ve lost 25 pounds of fat, gained lean muscle, and am now in the best shape of my life. Having routines that are varied and challenging keep it fresh, and the quarterly assessments provide proof of progress.

Barry N.

I wouldn’t be where I am today without Poul and the team at Nielsen Fitness. If you’re looking for honesty, integrity and a long-term partner with your physical health, give them a call.

Rob H.

I started with Nielsen Fitness a few years ago, wanting to work on balance, flexibility and strength after hitting the big ‘5-0’. As a busy professional and have never found time for the gym, but the formula at Nielsen is fantastic, combining the convenience of in-home workouts with awesome trainers.

Heather E.

We started with Nielsen Fitness seven years ago and have been happy, healthier customers ever since. Our strength and fitness level has improved tremendously. We highly recommend the service to anyone looking to improve their general well-being or trying to meet specific fitness targets.

OPTIONS + ADD-ONS:

There is strength in numbers – a partner can be a great motivator, and almost always makes for an extra-fun workout. For $40 more per workout, you can have up to two additional friends or family members work out with you, which is a great way to maximize your investment.

Does your body ache? Does taking the stairs challenge you? If so then this is the place to begin. This safe and unique training method [exclusive to Nielsen Fitness] is designed to rehabilitate and heal your body through movement. Typical results include movement with less pain, more stability, balance and more energy.

All fitness results are built upon the foundation of a solid nutrition plan. We offer Virtual online nutritional coaching to support your exercise and lifestyle efforts. Your nutritionists will analyze your diet, coach you on your nutrition, and create a customized nutrition plan to support your goals..

Who couldn’t use a good stretch? We offer stretching in 20 to 60 minute blocks.
When done properly and for long enough, stretching has a ton of benefits, including increased muscle length, strength and mobility, and lubrication of the joints. Many of our clients have reported experiencing less pain and tension due to tightness, along with a faster recovery. Plus, it just feels really good. (Not available virtually.)

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

We can work with you anywhere indoors or outdoors. We will come to the place that makes the most sense to you, whether that’s your backyard, outside of your office, condo, or even a local park (weather permitting). It doesn’t matter if you have a full set of dumbbells or nothing but and exercise mat. All we need in order to give you a top notch workout is your commitment and a 5’x5′ area.

Nope! All you need is a 5’ x 5’ space – that said, we’ll bring everything else you’ll need for great workout, each and every time. And if you do have equipment, we’ll absolutely make use of it!

Absolutely – and it would be our pleasure. We will start slowly and gently with the goal of establishing a strong and safe foundation upon which to build strength and endurance. We will make sure that everything you attempt is safe and appropriate for the level you’re at, every step of the way.

Yes, we offer a full money-back service guarantee. If you’re not 100% fully satisfied with your experience after three weeks, and you cannot see and feel measurable results after working with us – at a minimum of twice per week and following our lifestyle advice –  then we will give you every dime back no questions asked.

Yes we do. We’ll walk you through all the options at your consultation and first workout.

Typically our clients train with us 2 or 3 times per week, though some clients train once per week. We can certainly make a recommendation at your initial consultation based on your goals and timeline.

One of the best things about training is that no two workouts will ever be the same. You can expect every single one to be dynamic, fun and a challenge – in the best possible way. 

There is strength in numbers – a partner can be a great motivator, and almost always makes for an extra-fun workout. For $40 more per workout, you can add up to two people, which is a great way to maximize your investment.

We train clients seven days a week, from the crack of dawn into the evening hours.

We will explain this in detail when we meet but, in a nutshell, Platinum is our premium personal training option and Express is our more efficient and straightforward option.

Platinum is for clients who want a first-class, second-to-none personal training experience. If you have powerful and/or time-sensitive performance or weight loss goals, are competitive, over 55, pregnant, injured, recovering from an injury, or dealing with a chronic disease, Platinum is the way to go. In addition to full one-hour personal training sessions, it includes a copy of your workouts to do on your own, nutritional support and ongoing access to your trainer for support and guidance outside of your workouts. 

The Express option is designed for those who want a great, efficient workout and don’t have special needs. Sessions are 40 minutes and it does not include nutritional support and exercise programs for you to do on your own.
