Success Stories

I have been a Body Buster member since February 2015

What I like most are the variations in exercises every class and program. The locations are in close proximity to my home. The flexibility managing make up classes and great customer service. The staff are nice people. You get to push yourself. It’s much like having a personal trainer. You get what feels like personalized attention from each trainer. Because they pay attention and care about your progress and success they know when you can push that little bit harder. 

I have lost 4 inches off waist, Lost 20 lbs, Gained muscle & I can actually run a 1km in a respectable time. 

I have chosen to continue with Body Buster because It works! Body Buster classes keep me interested because they are different every time. 

The Body Buster program has made me feel in terms of overall health very motivated to keep going because it works, my diet is better, less aches & pains and it keeps me feeling young.

I have gained so much from being a member of Body Buster and taking the Program. Accountability, confidence, great health, Fun and peace of mind that I’m doing my best to be healthy for my family.

I feel its important to lead an active and healthy lifestyle. If you want to live long you have to exercise and be active. Plain and simple! Why not do it in a fun way that gives you a bit of everything yet still feels like it’s focused and logical. You look better and feel better. 

We all know we have to work out so may as well do it effectively and with purpose. You do your work two or three times a week and its scheduled. If life gets in the way you have the flexibility to make up the class. 

To be successful you have to schedule time for your health just like you schedule anything else. 

My last advice is pick something fun and challenging at the same time and you will be more likely to stick with it. A lot of times the other fitness programs are simply not effective so people just give up due to lack of results. 

No such concern with Body Buster Fitness. 

I feel like my classmates are my training partners and it helps hold me accountable to come to class ready to work. So even when I don’t feel like working out I still go and always end up getting a great Body Buster workout in.

I have been a Body Buster Fitness member for just over one year, I started my first program in January 2016. Body Buster is the most accommodating workout program I have ever been a part of. Their team will always work around any scheduling issues, missed classes or health difficulties to ensure you get the most benefit from their program. One of my favourite things about Body Buster is how much support and accommodation you receive individually from the instructors, they encourage as well as help you throughout each class. 

Since I have started with Body Buster Boot Camp I have lost over 10 pounds and toned overall on my body. My husband and I joined Body Buster together and we have continued with their program because it constantly gives us a challenge. No two classes are ever identical, and I find I always get a full body workout (Currently though my shoulder muscles are taking the brunt of it from all those amazing pushups during ball class last week)! Overall this workout program has improved my stamina when it comes to cardio, especially running and I feel stronger throughout all my daily activities.

Being a member of the Body Buster program has taught me not to give up on myself and the goals I wish to achieve when it comes to overall health benefits. Some days it is very difficult to motivate myself to workout but the Body Buster inclusive and supportive atmosphere always makes this challenge easier. I have also gained a lot of knowledge on healthier eating and what is best to consume before as well as after a workout. Knowing these tips has also helped me to accomplish my goals and stay on track throughout each and every program! It is very important to lead a healthy and active lifestyle no matter the situation or hurdles that get in your way. Eating right and exercising has not only made me feel more energetic and happier but has also boosted my confidence and made me a better person. I would recommend this program to other friends and family and have brought them with me on numerous occasions. I always tell them the classes will be difficult in the beginning and feel like they are never going to finish but it gets better! I would tell someone who has never been in this program before that if they want a challenge and a full body workout with maximum support and encouragement then Body Buster would be a great fit for them.

For those individuals like me who find it difficult to get motivated and moving these classes give you the extra push that you need. When I feel like I just have no energy left and nothing more to give, the trainers somehow manage to get me to give them 10 more burpees! Whether you work out through a program or on your own, pushing yourself just over your comfort zone is what truly gives you results, as well as following a healthy diet. If you need information and help learning about these things joining Body Buster and talking with their team will definitely help you realize your goals as it has done for me.

I have been a part of the Body Buster Fitness program for over one year. I started this program with my wife in January of 2016. The best part of Body Buster for me is the benefits it provides with my job. I work for a company that requires a vast amount of physical labor, and having done these classes has really helped me develop my muscles to improve my performance at work. My main goal through Body Buster was to gain muscle and tone overall, which I have done. Like I mentioned before I have continued with Body Buster because of the improved performance I have had at work. Another reason I have continued is because of the flexibility of the program. 

I have had many changes throughout the past year and even with all these obstacles the Body Buster team has worked with me and made my continuation and success possible. In overall health this program has made me stronger and improved my stamina and endurance when it comes to physical activity. I have always had healthy eating habits and tried to follow a proper diet and the additional information given to me through this program has enhanced this aspect of my life.

I have definitely gained a positive outlook on proper diet and physical activity while continuing on my Body Buster journey. I have met a lot of new people and realize that everyone is working towards a common goal and having the right tools and resources at your fingertips makes this process so much easier. I started working out at a young age and really enjoyed it and now that I am in a different phase of my life I have realized I can continue to workout and enjoy the benefits while still having a good time. 

I believe it is important to lead an active and healthy lifestyle to keep your body in shape and enjoy your life as much as you can. I would recommend this program to my friends and family if they want to either lose weight, tone their bodies or just stay in great shape overall. The workouts are provided to ensure that no matter what your specific goal is, it can be met. I would tell someone who has never done a Body Buster program before that the trainers are very knowledgeable and educated when it comes to all areas of fitness, the physical aspect, stretching and proper diet. If you have any questions or concerns they are very approachable and will do their best to answer you. Lastly, Body Buster has a very inclusive environment, no one ever feels left out or inferior to others, everyone is accepting and friendly.

I do not think there is no excuse for anyone to avoid exercise, there is always time for working out you just have to allow for this time and sometimes even push yourself a little bit. I have a very difficult schedule to work with in my personal life but with the help of the team as well as my own motivation (and my wife pushing me) I always make time to attend the classes and exercise. Joining Body Buster Fitness and keeping yourself moving is hard work but the determination and follow through always pays off!

I have been a Body Buster member since January 2013. I joined to get in shape before my wedding that summer. I kept ‘body busting’ until I took some time off after I had my son, but have been back at it since the beginning of this year.

What I like best about Body Buster is that the workouts are always different, the instructors and other members are motivating and you end up doing exercises you would never choose to do if you just went to the gym (who chooses to do burpees?). It’s tough but very rewarding. Working out in the summer in High Park is also so nice to be outdoors at the end of the work day.

When I first joined I lost 15 pounds over about 6 months before my wedding and was in the best shape I had been in years. Since rejoining in January I’ve managed to lose all of the pregnancy weight and fit back into my old clothes.

I continue with Body Buster because it is the most efficient way of getting a great workout and reenergizing throughout the week. You don’t ever get bored with the workouts and Dani is an incredibly motivating and positive instructor. I have seen the benefits of just the 2 hours a week that I come to class, in terms of both physical fitness and frame of mind. 

It’s amazing seeing what your body is capable of when you challenge it, whether it is moving up from 5lb to 8lb weights when it seemed impossible when you started working out or managing to complete the 1km run in a faster time than you did 2 months before. 

Being active has (intermittently) been a big part of my life, and I always feel so much better when I ensure I include time for exercise in my life. Being active and working up a sweat is a huge stress reliever and maintaining fitness means I don’t feel like I have limitations in terms of what I want to do physically. Also, burning off a ton of calories at Body Buster means you can be slightly more flexible when it comes to raiding the Halloween candy stash or having fondue for dinner(!).

Body Buster is truly the best workout I have ever tried and the loyalty of members is a testament to how much people find it to be a fantastic program. I used to be surprised when I would find out that people had been members for years, and then all of a sudden, I was one of those people who continued to sign up year after year and if I took a short break when work or life got busy I was always eager to come back.

Once you sign up all you have to do is show up – there is no thinking or decision making, which I find to be the hard part – the workout is tough, you sweat a lot and then it’s over and you feel so much better!

“We feel it’s important to lead an active and healthy lifestyle.”

We both joined Body Buster together in late 2013 for the final program of that year so we are now into our third year with the Body Buster Program.

What we like most about about the Body Buster program is the trainers and the people in the groups we attend. They are all very encouraging and supportive. We like the fact that it does not concentrate on any one part of your body but instead the emphasizes is on your overall fitness.

We have lost both pounds and inches but more important we feel better.

We have chosen to continue because we like the Body Buster program and the people involved with it. We know that two nights a week we will be getting a good workout. We have much more energy, stamina and strength then when we first started the program. We find it helps with stress management and has improved our sleep patterns. We have been given both nutrition and exercise tips that we can incorporate outside Body Buster which improves our overall health.

We feel its important to lead an active and healthy lifestyle as we both have diabetes and heart issues in our family history which we would like to avoid getting as well.

If you haven’t taken the Body Buster Fitness program before, try It! You might find it is the program for you. If we can do it than anyone can. It is not a quick fix but part of a lifestyle change which has helped us to achieve an improved level of fitness and better overall health. You cannot afford not to exercise if quality of life is important to you then it has to become a part of your lifestyle.

For us, we were approaching our late fifties when we joined Body Buster. We have had some great people in our classes, along with our main trainers/instructors. Dani, Huy and Kara acted as role models and inspired us to progress and try and achieve our goals, notably Michael, Sandra, Maria and Kristina. If we can do the same for others as they did for us that will make it all the more worthwhile. 

I’ve been a Body Buster Fitness member since 2014.

I love the variety of exercises. I like being outside but having the option to be inside during inclement weather and the winter. I appreciate the dedication and positive approach of the instructors. I appreciate the ability to use makeup classes to add flexibility to the schedule when my registered time slot may not work for me one week. 

Since starting Body Buster, I am down 10 or so lbs but more importantly I have better energy and can feel the difference in how clothes fit. 

I continued with the Body Buster program for all the reasons cited above and because, for me, I need the formality of a class to keep me consistent and committed to exercise each week. I have greater energy. I can feel that I am physically stronger.

Being a member of Body Buster has forced me to take stock of my fitness level. It has provided me a fun, engaging means of getting active and staying active. The winter months especially can be hard to get up and out to do anything. Knowing I have a standing appointment each Monday and Wednesday evening to get moving helps me stay on track. My fellow ‘classmates’ keep it fun and help challenge me. The leaders are great at keeping all of us motivated and engaged. 

In my younger years, I took my health and physical abilities for granted. As I age, I recognize how important it is to care for this body I have. I am fortunate to be able to be within a few years of retirement and I can’t imagine not being able to do all the things we have planned because I am physically restricted or too tired. 

To anyone who is just getting started with an exercise program, Body Buster is a great introduction. Your instructors will challenge you but they will also tailor an exercise to your abilities so you can start off slowly. Each class has a range of body types and abilities. The classes are always different so you can’t get bored. 

Keeping active is important for the here and now and being able to do the things that are important to you. To be fully engaged in whatever endeavours one is involved in you have to have the energy and the physical strength. Even more importantly staying active is for your future self. It’s building the foundation for a healthy happy and hopefully ripe old age.
