I truly love working out with Shaz!

It’s only been 2 months and my body already feels amazing. She pushes me and advises me on nutrition and lifestyle for a more holistic approach to health. So excited to start training at the new Ajax location!

I joined Sharif Fitness and was very nervous, but I’m happy I chose an amazing place!

Shaz & Joel are incredible!! They constantly motivate and connect with you in a personal level that you feel comfortable and enjoy working out. I have incorporated kickboxing in my sessions and its the BEST so far! I LOVE working with Shaz and Joel. If you’re looking for a personal trainer, they are the BEST & ONLY option. Thank you for everything!!!

Coach Joel helped me successfully pass a fitness test required for a hiring evaluation.

Joel actively listened to the test requirements, and checked my fitness level to develop a strategy to strengthen my mental and physical endurance while keeping in mind my time constraint (we had 6 weeks) to curate a program designed to help me succeed. Joel was non-judgmental, encouraging, professional, welcoming, and an experienced coach. At the end, I passed my test! I highly recommend Sharif Fitness, great coaches!

After attending Shazia’s Muay Thai classes, my clothes fit looser and I felt stronger after 2 months.

Classes are great for learning intro Muay Thai/kickboxing and even better for health and fitness. The group of women are supportive and inspiring. No judgments there (the energy in the room was important to me). Shazia is approachable and insightful. She’s also a personal trainer, making her enjoyable to learn from. There’s no pressure, she shows us basic to advanced modified workouts.

I love attending Shaz’s female only Muay Thai classes.

It’s very empowering to learn and train under someone as strong and mindful as Shaz. Since I joined, I’ve gained a lot of self confidence and I really enjoy the energy and dynamic of the group. Thank you for teaching us how to become better versions of ourselves!

I’ve been attending the all women Muay Thai classes for the last 6 months.

I cannot express what a welcoming and motivating environment it is for women’s fitness. Shaz does a great job of accommodating different levels of fitness that does not take away from the group experience!

Attending Shaz’s Muay Thai classes has by far been the best decision I have ever made in my life!

When I first joined over a year ago, she made it extremely easy to integrate into class. Thanks to her coaching and lessons on maintaining a healthy lifestyle, I have not only improved my Muay Thai skills, but I have made significant changes to my life and diet thanks to the shift in perspective. Her classes are inclusive, fun and action-packed! I highly recommend her classes and it’s definitely worth your money!

Love Shazia and her Muay Thai class!

She is so personable and relatable and makes the class enjoyable so you’re not just feeling like it’s hard core physical activity. If you’re looking for a way to get fit/strong while having fun, she is your girl!

I’ve been on a lookout for a women’s only kickboxing classes for weeks and I’ve finally found it!

I am amazed with Shazia! Her expertise, kindness, warmth and knowledge on Muay Thai is impeccable. If you are a beginner, this is the spot! Her Ajax location is brand new and fantastic. She’s poured her heart into creating this haven for all! It’s a safe place to learn, grow, be super comfortable and confident! A investment towards your health is the best investment you can make. Thanks Shaz!

I prefer to train with Shaz and Joel than on my own: they challenge me because they are excellent at noticing one’s potential

They made me strong and confident. They take care of you and all they ask is that you show up and be accountable for your training. And if you’re going through difficulties, they accommodate you to ease the stress of showing up to your workouts. Joel and Shaz are incredibly knowledgeable with excellent integrity who are a testament to their profession!

Simply the best decision my wife and I took since landing in Canada!

Hats off to Shaz and Joel for guiding us through strength training and cardio and helping us understand the importance of protein and hydration customized to our individual needs. Seeing significant improvements in both physical and mental performance! I highly recommend Sharif Fitness.

Shazia is a great and knowledgeable personal trainer!

Shaz took time to understand my health journey as well as my fitness goals. Shaz was honest about the time frame and tailored each sessions in a way that met my needs but also challenged me towards growth. I learned so much about different exercises, equipment and best protein rich food choices. Overall a 10/10 compassionate instructor that helps inspire, challenge and motivate you towards growth!

Most big chain gyms out there do not require their personal trainers to have experience nor a bachelor’s degree and conform with a basic 2-day entry level industry certification.

At Sharif Fitness, we are passionate about our field. Hence, our high standards for educational requirements. We advise all of our new members to inquire about the education level and certifications during their personal trainer search, in order to make an informed decision.

A the end of the day, would you trust your body with a personal trainer holding 2 days worth of education? – Food for thought.
