WHO AM I
I’m a physical activity junkie by day and bookworm by night. I get super stoked on using my knowledge and experience to improve the things that are dear to me: health, sports performance, and people. When I’m not moving, reading, or training others, I love listening to music - anything and everything from Vivaldi to van Buuren. I also love the outdoors, meditation, and psychedelic substances. Sometimes all three of them together.
HOW I GOT HERE
I’ve gone, and continue to go down the rabbit hole of a variety of different physical activities: weightlifting, yoga, running, striking, grappling, cliff jumping, soccer, volleyball, tennis, snowboarding, slacklining, and dancing, to name a few. I see the interconnections between sports. I see human movements rather than “techniques” or “exercises”. This holistic view of exercise science has allowed me to solve the hardest problems for my most frustrated clients. Once again, I’m a book nerd. Nobody willingly learns more about health and performance than I do, and I’ll make sure to apply everything I know to help you crush your goals.
WHAT TO EXPECT
I’ll be your coach and I’ll be your friend. I’ll walk beside you rather than behind you. I’ll guide you instead of guilting you. I’ll teach you the principles of human performance so that one day you’ll be in full control of your own health. I’ll be open, honest, and put my nose to the grindstone for you; in return, I expect the same from your end.
CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
James Spencer2024-09-19Been working with Coach Patrick for just under a month now and I feel like I’m making great strides with my body and mind. Less is truly more at this point in my professional career- Patrick has helped me navigate the internal stress and narratives that play out when experiencing pain/discomfort. Tackling my issues (both chronic and acute) from not only the point of physical intervention - but also through education on basic anatomy and human psychology. I’m not just programmed the exercises - I’m learning why they’re necessary for my unique circumstances, which only further reinforces the work that’s being done. The body awareness exercises I’ve been doing are allowing me to properly tune into the feedback my body is giving me, and that’s a relationship/neurological connection that needs to be consciously cultivated on the daily. It’s not all mindful/careful work - I get to throw some weight around too. I feel like my training is very well balanced at the moment, and it’s all geared toward me feeling prepared and ready to perform at a high level this incoming season. Patrick embodies the intersection of mind and body beautifully and I’m honoured to be able to work with someone of his caliber. It’s impossible to not learn more about yourself when you’re doing this work. I’m learning how to better regulate my body, mind and emotions truly. I will say this style of coaching/training isn’t for everyone - but if you’re someone who wants to really understand their pain, and make meaningful and lasting change. PK will lead you there!Boris Schneiderman2024-09-03Patrick is wonderful, I thoroughly enjoy my sessions with Patrick because of his thoughtful and meaningful approach to exercise. He not only tailors each workout to suit my needs but also provides guidance and support with my overall exercise regimen and nutrition throughout the week. The positive and productive environment he creates makes every session both enjoyable and motivating. I'm grateful for Patrick's expertise and dedication to my fitness journey.Birdie Brar2024-06-19This guy is the real deal. I’ve been playing volleyball at the highest level for the past 20 years and this stud has still found ways to help me improve and give me more options as an athlete! Highly recommend this man and his candidness is under-appreciated. 5 STARS!Sanjeev Johal2024-05-29Patrick is an amazing personal trainer! You can tell he really cares for his clients and their goals; the efforts he puts into planning your exercises and nutrition plans is second to none. He is also super funny and nice to talk to, I highly recommend him to anybody looking to make a change in their exercise habits!James Yang2024-03-15Patrick is an exceptional trainer, whose strategic and tactful approach to improving marathon performance has been invaluable to me. His focus on strength, elasticity, and mobility, backed by data and science-based exercises, has significantly enhanced my training regimen. Patrick's ability to identify and target areas of weakness ensures a tailored program that delivers results. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking to elevate their physical performance.Nicholas Lightfoot2024-03-09I have worked with Patrick off and on for years and foresee myself working with him consistently into the future. The thing with Patrick is that any trainer can make someone jacked, but it takes a special person/trainer to make you jacked while also getting you to move like a top tier athlete. Patrick just really cares, is insanely knowledgeable, and will get you feeling the best youve ever felt. Could not recommend him enough.Jo Jo Wang2024-02-13I had the pleasure to train with Pat for the past six months, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Pat’s dedication, expertise, and encouragement truly made a difference in my fitness journey. He tailored workouts to my specific goals and pushed me to challenge myself. He is also very caring and super fun to work with! Thanks to his support, I have seen significant improvements in my strength, endurance, and overall health. And I was able to finish my very first half marathon! I highly recommend Pat to anyone looking to achieve their fitness goals and embark on a healthier lifestyle journey.Chris Krammer2024-02-01Working with Pat has been a phenomenal experience - I was having trouble getting back in the gym after becoming a burnt-out, achy, and unathletic meathead. But! Pat has made the process an absolute blast, throwing all kinds of novel - and expertly chosen - exercise variety and progression my way, and I'm well on my way to ache-free, enthusiastic athleticism. I particularly enjoy the collaborative nature of our coach-athlete relationship, and the regular check-ins. The accountability and personal investment in programming decisions really help foster a sense of teamwork, support, and sustainable motivation. 10/10 would recommend for anyone looking to ignite a true passion in training and learning about all aspects of their physical health and fitness.Zahra Khaku2023-11-06Can’t say enough great things about Patrick! He is very easy to get along with, super friendly, motivating and kind. As someone who has never really worked out in the past, he is great with explaining/ demonstrating different exercises and making you feel comfortable as a beginner. He also adjusts as needed based on how you are doing with each specific exercise during the workout. Our workouts are always fun, lively and enjoyable. I have definitely seen results as well!Lorna McGill2023-10-26I have been training with Patrick for a little over a year. In that time we have worked on my nutrition and I have lost over 50 lbs. We work together twice weekly on rehabbing my knee and gaining strength, balance and flexibility. I am 68 years old and am in the best shape of my life. Pat truly cares deeply about his clients and is knowledgeable and passionate about his craft. He is constantly coming up with new ideas so we consistently see improvements. He gives me a daily customized training plan and holds me accountable to complete it. Gives me feedback daily on how I am doing. I can’t imagine not having Patrick in my life as my trainer and my friend. I am looking forward to many years of improved health and strength with Pat. I am forever grateful for him!
