3 Seasons Personal Training

One of our favourite things is helping people heal injuries and avoid surgery. At a minimum Ian goes in to surgery with a less severe problem and faster recovery time - best case surgery is avoided all together!

is a wizard at Fascial Stretch Therapy! DM us if you have any questions - it’s one of the most effective soft tissue methods there are for getting out of pain and improving mobility. Other leading methodologies like ART are extremely effective but painful. FST is one of the only methods that’s is both gentle and effective.

At 3 Seasons one of the pillars of our philosophy is to take control of your physical environment. At this time of year people are most likely to get sick and take time off of work and to skip the gym because they aren’t feeling well.

We invest in clean air because I don’t want the trainers or myself to get sick and take unplanned time off, I don’t want clients to catch something while at the gym, and we want to set an example to guide clients for how they can make their homes, offices, and kids schools “healthy by default.”

Here is what we do to probably have the cleanest air in Toronto of any gym:

1. We have six medical grade H13 HEPA filters from . When they’re running on their highest setting we get 10-12 air changes per hour. We also have a small HEPA filter in our meeting room.
2. We monitor humidity in the gym and run humidifiers in the winter. Viral transmission is dramatically lower when humidity is 40-60%. When there air is too humid other issues like mould become a problem so we aim to be around 50% humidity. Included are pics showing the improvement in humidity from 37% to 49%.
3. We clean the humidifiers on a regular basis. When was the last time you cleaned your humidifier? If you have never cleaned your humidifier I urge you to take a look. Some humidifiers are so poorly designed it’s almost impossible to clean them thoroughly. If that’s the case throw your out and buy one that’s easier to clean! Dirty humidifiers WILL make you sick and negatively impact your breathing.
4. One thing we can do better at is air circulation. Improved air circulation makes a big difference - our HEPA filters double as fans but a few cheap fans could improve things even more. This is a strategy that has worked really well in schools since it’s easier to improve air circulation with cheap fans than to run HEPA filters (expensive) or humidifiers (you constantly need to add water whereas a fan simply needs to be switched on).

Congrats to coach Daisy for completing her level 2 certification! Looking forward to getting to learn what new knowledge she has to bring back to us, and to see how this helps her to get clients pain free even faster.

If winter sports like skiing are your favourite, now is the time to from the stresses of a demanding ski season so next year you won’t have to “ski yourself into shape”.

If summer sports like cycling, tennis, and pickleball are your thing, then there is still a small window of time to and get yourself ready so you can start your season pain free, strong, and with a rolling start!

We're hiring!

Rare opportunity to take over a full roster of clients (120 hours/month) at a high end personal training studio in mid-town Toronto. Walking distance from two subway stops. One of our amazing trainers is going back to school full-time and the rest of the team is near capacity.

While experience is an asset, we can teach you everything you need to know to be a world class personal trainer. Our most successful trainers are attentive, punctual, genuinely care about their clients, and are hungry to learn and get better every week. These are harder to teach.

We will hold you to a high standard so you and your clients thrive. You will have amazing clients and work for an owner who will invest time, energy, and money into your continuing education so you can reach your true potential.

3 Seasons helps people play the sport they love, at the level they want, for as long as they want. While many clients are not athletes, you must have an interest in training for athletic performance to succeed.

Selling is not a mandatory part of the job. Please email our head coach Yoni ([email protected]) or send us a DM if interested.

You might be surprised to see our sign talking about skiing and curling In the middle of summer!

However, if you LOVE a winter sport like skiing, curling, ice hockey, etc. NOW is the time for your to prepare your body to get off to a rolling start come winter time.

When you “play yourself into shape” you have decreased performance for a significant portion of the “in season” and your injury risk is dramatically increased.

If you want to raise your game for a winter sport, now is the time to do it. Get your injuries fixed now, deal with your mobility limitations now, strengthen that weak link now, and you’ll feel AMAZING when your season begins.

These pics are all examples of how our default environment often is sub optimal for our health. It’s not just our eyes that can sense light when trying to sleep, but also our skin! This room actually isn’t that bad. There were only four different objects emitting light. Often when I stay in hotels it’s 8-10 objects I need to unplug or find a way to cover the light.

Since taking apart a smoke detector is not advisable I decided the next best thing was a couple layers of painters tape (it doesn’t leave a mark but if you use multiple layers it’s enough to cover the light).

The hotel room I’m in is very nice and clean, but it’s clear to me that whoever designed it doesn’t know much about sleep.

The best hotel I ever stayed at had an alarm clock with a button you could push to turn off the light. So the clock was still on in case you needed the alarm, but it emitted no light! That hotel got it. I wish more hotels understood this - until then you must take control of your physical environment when you travel if you want to get a good nights sleep and be at your best.

I know this may seem like a small or silly thing, but these are the sorts of things you need to do to take control of your health - everywhere around us the default option is usually one that is not good for our health… so it takes an extra effort to shape our environment, instead of having our environment shape us!
