Retraine
or remain
the same.

A private training studio in Pickering, Ontario. Evidence-based programming for members who expect results, accountability, and a room that remembers their name.

01 · Philosophy

No fads.
No fluff.
Just work.

A training boutique for those who believe they deserve the best for their body and their time.

Retraine is a mindset shift. We don't chase trends and we don't sell shortcuts. We believe in retraining you through evidence-based methods, structured progression, and the kind of coaching that actually changes how you move.

Through an empirical, data-led approach, we've built a methodology that takes our members farther in twelve weeks than most gyms take them in a year. The results aren't a claim. They're a record.

02 · The Method

Four phases.
One member.

/ 01 Assess A 90-minute sit-down and movement screen. History, injuries, goals, lifestyle. We measure what matters, not what's easy to post.
What we measure
  • Movement screen: FMS + SFMA
  • Strength baseline: 5RM on five lifts
  • Cardio: heart-rate zones, recovery
  • Composition: weight, girths, ratios
  • Lifestyle: sleep, stress, time budget
What you walk out with
  • A written movement report
  • Training readiness score
  • A twelve-week path, in writing
  • Honest answer on what it'll take
/ 02 Program Your coach builds a twelve-week block around the assessment. Strength, conditioning and mobility are calibrated to your current capacity, not a template.
Block structure
  • Weeks 1–4: base capacity
  • Weeks 5–8: build + load
  • Weeks 9–12: peak + retest
  • Deload: every fourth week
What changes week to week
  • Loads, sets, rest intervals
  • Accessory work based on screen findings
  • Conditioning zones and duration
  • Nutrition targets, tracked weekly
/ 03 Retrain Three to five private sessions a week. Every rep is watched, cued, and logged. Nutrition and recovery are adjusted in the same thread.
Every session
  • Warm-up: 5 minutes, prep the pattern
  • Core work: 45 minutes under load
  • Finisher: 10 minutes conditioning
  • Debrief: log, cue, set next target
Between sessions
  • One coach, always the same
  • Written feedback in your log
  • Nutrition check-in weekly
  • Recovery and sleep noted, not ignored
/ 04 Sustain We audit every eight weeks. Load up, deload, re-test. Your numbers tell us what's next. Almost always, they tell us to keep going.
Audit cadence
  • Every 8 weeks: full re-test
  • Every 12 weeks: block review
  • Mid-cycle deload when readiness drops
  • Plan changes based on the numbers
The record so far
  • 98% renew after the first block
  • 200+ members retrained since 2021
  • Average first block: 12 weeks
  • Longest active member: four years in
03 · Disciplines

Four pillars.
One system.

/ 01Most requested

Strength

A one-hour private session built on compound lifts and functional patterning. High-frequency, progressively loaded, never improvised.

Duration60 min Format1-on-1 Frequency3–5× / wk
/ 02HIIT

Conditioning

Leave the treadmill. Heart-rate-calibrated circuits that burn fat, build capacity, and teach your body to recover between efforts.

Duration45 min ZonesZ2 – Z5 Frequency2–3× / wk
/ 03Corrective

Mobility

Achy back, stiff neck, a shoulder that hasn't moved right since 2019. We assess at the source and program a fix, not a stretch routine.

Ammar is the best personal trainer I've ever had. Five pounds of muscle in four months while cutting fat. The lifts went up. The pumps are actually amazing.
