From clients, with gratitude.

“I am 82 years old and I wondered if I would still be able to strengthen my body at this stage of life. Elena introduced me to mobility exercises, weights and several machines and guided me through everything — patient, encouraging, explaining every exercise in detail. I have made a lot of progress and I am so very grateful.”

“I've struggled with my hips for as long as I can remember and made no progress on my own. Elena found the issue within 5 minutes. After one session my hips feel better than they ever have, and I was able to progress skills I'd been stuck on for years.”

“I came to Elena with pain and tightness in my shoulder and rhomboids. Right after the initial assessment she pinpointed the exact issue and addressed it immediately. She took the time to listen and never dismissed my pain as something minor. I felt genuine care and immediate relief.”

“I've had a few personal trainers over the years, but Elena is the best. She listens and works with you around previous injuries. I play a lot of pickleball, and with her guidance I've increased my strength and flexibility, allowing me to keep playing injury-free.”

“She is a very warm person — always willing to hear you out, but strict on developing your routine. The best trainer I ever had, and she has helped me a lot with my osteoporosis.”

“Elena has relieved my stiffness and soreness, but also taken the time to identify the root causes and work with me on corrective exercises for long-term improvement. She considers my dance training and tailors our work to the strength, mobility, and movement demands I have as a dancer.”

“By the end of the appointment my body felt noticeably lighter, more mobile and relaxed. The biggest difference was my neck — for the first time in a long while, the tightness was gone. I left feeling aligned, refreshed, and moving with much greater ease.”

“My hips and legs were very tight and Elena helped me find the reasons and correct it. I appreciate her attention to detail and her dedication. She is the best trainer I've ever had!”

“Elena is an amazing personal trainer in the North York area. I highly recommend her training — the FST sessions have made a huge difference in my flexibility and pain relief!”

“Elena helped me bounce back after an injury to my SI joint that was triggered by postpartum weakness. She addressed the root cause and supported me in building a solid foundation from there, so I could be pain free again and STRONG. Highly recommend her!”

“What really stands out is how scientific and methodical she is in the way she approaches training. She is also incredibly adaptable — even if you are training at home with very little or no equipment, she will figure out a way to get the job done and still make the workout challenging and effective.”

“I did my first FST with Elena and it was incredible. I had tightness in my lower back and limited neck mobility on one side. She was spectacular at pinpointing my problem areas and stretching them back to normal with ease — and explained how to avoid the issue in future.”

“Elena and I started working together with a focus on postpartum rehab, and over time we've gradually progressed into strength training. She took the time to really understand my body, identify my areas of weakness, and figure out the right ways to strengthen them.”

“Elena is very knowledgeable and professional. She is patient, she asks questions, she gets to know your body and how it responds. She understands where the body requires strengthening or more stretching. Her goal is to help you resolve your issues. It's worth it!”

“The second time she trained me I had an injury and wanted to exercise fully without aggravating it. Both times Elena created tailored full body programs that were fun and varied. I noticed a difference in my strength, confidence, and overall fitness.”

“She patiently listens to your goals and designs workouts accordingly. She's very knowledgeable, especially with strength and resistance training, and always pays close attention to my posture and form. Encouraging, respectful of my comfort level, and still challenging.”

“I did my first fascia stretch therapy session with Elena and I loved it. I've been working out for a while and I'm usually very tight — Elena had the right combination of care, empathy and skill. I felt so great afterwards. Highly recommend.”

“Elena Mai helped me with my knee pain and abdominal pain. If you are searching for a knowledgeable personal trainer with a holistic approach in North York — I highly recommend her service.”

“It has been my privilege to train with Elena Mai over the past 6 months. Elena has worked intensively with me on musculoskeletal flexibility and balance — two areas that are very important to me.”

“Working with Elena was amazing. She is very welcoming and knowledgeable. I had lower back pain for quite some time from playing competitive sports, and her approach has helped me become pain free.”

“Elena is always positive, encouraging, knowledgeable and motivating. I highly recommend her.”
