High Octane Training and Therapy

I have been coming to High Octane Training and Therapy since June 2023 after my sister raved about this place! I have been to many gyms and I have never experienced anything like this environment EVER!! Everyone from the owners to the therapists are all friendly and knowledgeable!!!! I have moved all my physical therapy to HOTT now!!! Everyone here wants to see you heal your body and crush your goals!! If you're looking for a fun, comfortable and friendly environment HOTT is where you want to be!!! Thanks guys❤

I will come here to workout and train over any big box gym. It’s family owned and the owner (Andrew) is always ready to assist you while he’s at the gym or otherwise. The facility is incredibly clean & well maintained and has been the case since I’ve joined the gym 3 years ago. Whatever your goal is with fitness and your body, this place will help you get there.

I discovered High Octane Training and Therapy through the Women Who Lift personal training program. As a family-owned establishment, the clean and well-equipped facilities create an inviting atmosphere catering to all fitness levels. The staff is wonderful; they are knowledgeable, friendly and approachable which makes the experience very welcoming and relaxed, eliminating any intimidation factor. After a few months now, I can confidently say it's the best gym in my experience, and I'm grateful to have found such a gem in my area – a perfect blend of excellent facilities and a supportive community.
Highly recommend!

I am a co-op student with a placement at High Octane Training. My first impression of the place exceeded all expectations. The trainers and physiotherapists were kind and welcoming and the place was clean and filled with positive energy and plants. Andrew my co-op supervisor had helped me gain experience and learn more about being a personal trainer. I’ve learned a lot about kinesiology and how the muscles work and how to be communicative and supportive with clients. Omar is a friendly and kind physiotherapist at High Octane Training. He has shown me many exercises and stretches that work and strengthen different parts of the body. Overall a great experience here at High Octane Training, and would recommend any co-op student looking to gain experience about training and therapy.

I recently visited this facility as a guest with Melissa and had an amazing experience. All the staff was incredibly welcoming. The owner was very nice and made sure we had everything for a great workout. The gym is clean, organized and overall a very comfortable environment. Loved my time here :)

I've been a member of High Octane for almost 3 years now and it has been the best decision for my health and well being. I am not a fan of big box gyms but wanted a more community based gym that I could feel a part of. High Octane is more than a gym with its holistic methods of training, it's become like a second home! All the trainers and care providers are kind and go above and beyond in their practice. The gym is very clean, has all the equipment and space to train you could hope for, has an unpretentious and inviting vibe.

Andrew, the owner of the gym, did my initial assessment and paired me with Naomi for my training. I have never had a female trainer before and I feel like Naomi's methods, passion and skill have helped me through one of the toughest and most challenging health phases of my life. Through her dedication to my health and wellbeing, adjustments to training based on injury, and flexibility with my work and life schedule, I have created a newfound love for fitness and wellness. My relationship with fitness has completely changed, I am the strongest I have ever been, my hormonal imbalances have regulated, my chronic injuries and pains have almost disappeared and I accredit that to Naomi's training and coaching.

I have also utilized their physio and massage services which I really enjoyed. My physio with Divek has helped me rehabilitate chronic injury and Omar has been an incredible resource for programs and chronic pain relief.

I really enjoy the thoughtful touches throughout the gym like pictures of members, community nights, health based challenges, personalised programs, tips and information postings, specialty water, energy drinks and protein powder for sale, and more. I rave about High Octane often with friends and family and would highly recommend this family-owned and operated small business gym!

Great facility, Great team of dedicated people; passionate for helping others take control of their life and their health. Exceptionally clean, well kept and a boutique feeling. It is busy enough to feel a good vibe, but not enough to be distracted and loose focus. Physiotherapy, Osteopathey, Massage Therapy, Personal Training, Nutrition Counseling all available. Come for the workout, stay for journey.

I have been coming to High Octane since May of 2022 at the referral of a friend. It sounds so cliche, but it’s legit like family and friends. The trainers, the therapists and other members are friendly and welcoming. I was also super nervous and self conscious at other gyms, I don’t feel that here at all. I have in fact referred like 5 people to come here as well. With the help of Andrew and others, I have been able to almost reach all my personal fitness goals! Thank you High Octane!

This has to be one of the cleanest places I have ever been and I really appreciate this. The staff are friendly and are well knowledgeable. I personally have been working with Daniel who not only is an osteopath but also a stretch specialist and a personal trainer. Our treatments/sessions are always full body and he has a wealth of knowledge due to all of his training. The environment at High Octane is also very welcoming and not intimidating at all for those who feel intimated by a gym.

Great place! It exceeded all the expectations! people are passionate and professional! Andrew is very helpful to train with, he is mindful about my back issue, positive and supportive during the sessions! They have frontline workers free sessions which is a very nice gesture to offer! Highly recommend!

I loved my experience at High Octane Training and Therapy and I was impressed by the attention to detail and dedication to the team members. It's evident that they prioritize maintenance as everything is in pristine condition and clean!!

The staff members aren't just there to do a job; they're there to make a difference! Their enthusiasm is infectious! I felt like my fitness journey truly mattered to them. Whether you're just starting out or trying to push past a plateau, they're with you every step of the way.
Not only do they show you 'how', but they also explain the 'why', underscoring the relevance of particular exercises and muscle groups.
On top of that the gym never feels overcrowded. Allowing for a comfortable workout experience without the common gym claustrophobia. This undoubtedly enhances the focus and quality of each session.
High Octane Training and Therapy manages to blend high-quality facilities with an authentic, personal touch. It's not just a place to sweat; it's a community that educates and supports. Highly recommended for those who value both quality equipment and a knowledgeable, caring staff! :)

High Octane Training + Therapy is a real gem! The place is spotless, and the location couldn't be more convenient. The sense of community here is palpable - it's like a fitness family. The staff are not just friendly, they're also incredibly knowledgeable and professional. They really know their stuff!

The equipment is top-notch and always available, so I can get a solid workout without any waiting around. And let's talk about Omar, the massage therapist. Even though he's on vacation, he's still checking in to make sure I'm staying on track with my goals. Now that's dedication!

What really stands out to me is the evident care and attention the owners put into this business. It's clear they take pride in providing a space where people can work out comfortably and effectively.

I'm usually pretty critical when it comes to businesses, but High Octane has exceeded all my expectations. If you're looking for a great place to work out with a supportive community, this is it!

I’ve had gym memberships in the past but was never able to commit to one until joining High Octane!

I discovered High Octane through the Women Who lift program and became a member due to the friendly and welcoming environment. The gym is extremely clean, well organized and never crowded! Also, the gym has a wide variety of equipment that is well maintained. The trainers are helpful and encouraging - they take the time to answer my questions and correct my form even if I am not in a paid training session.

The gym offers a multitude of services such as nutrition, physiotherapy, osteopathy and massage therapy to name a few!

What a fantastic hidden treasure. Everything you need in a single, logical space (with bonus rooms!) away from the overcrowding of the big box gyms. Even the machines are high quality. Love it!

High Octane Training and Therapy exceeds all expectations in terms of their facilities and their staff! Can't say enough positive things.

I've been working on physiotherapy active care with Andrew Stalteri for the past 2 months. I've had to address issues with my core strength and was afraid of injury due to issues with my lower back. In my previous experiences (in other corporate and private gyms and clinics), I received good "in-the-moment" cues in the sessions. In contrast, Andrew's approach stands out because he EMPOWERS you to feel confident with exercises during and OUTSIDE of his sessions.

He really helped me with listening to my body cues and provided interpretations that were personalized and meaningful to me (ex. I told him I was a speech therapist and so he tried to make his cues relevant to this). He compared new learning with my experiences of learning a new language. He'd ask how my exercises would go on days outside of sessions and provided tips to continue to improve programming and form. This attentiveness and personalization made such a difference!

For example, one of my goals was to strengthen my core and back during deadlifts without injury or lower back pain. We first started with light weights and reps and really focused on form and 'mindful' body cues. Now, I'm able to lift HEAVIER than my body weight and feel super proud of the improvements in my strength, form, and confidence.

He was also helpful with using video to record and provide feedback so I can refer to his tips and visualize how my exercises should be on my phone. Again, this really helped with continuing my exercises 2-3x a week outside of training sessions and not only helped with my active physiotherapy care but with my overall fitness and strength in general.

As for the facilities, the equipment is always wiped down and well-maintained. Definitely high quality stuff. The change rooms are very clean. There are plenty of therapy rooms. I haven't seen lineups for the barbell racks 😂 You're always greeted with a smile from their friendly staff and members (and it really does have a nicer, more intimate vibe compared to the big corporate gym settings). The online booking platform for therapy is also easy to use and intuitive.

I felt the compelled to outline above and because I'm so grateful I discovered High Octane and their programming. Leaving my review is the least I can do!

I'm also gonna post one of the first deadlift videos when we started, and one of my recent ones. You can hear how helpful the tips are! And you can see my progress with the weights. I couldn't have done it without the support from Andrew, Divek, and the High Octane TT staff. Thanks again!!!! Highly recommend.

I am a Conestoga student athlete at the varsity level playing men’s volleyball.

I've been training with Omar for just over a month now, and the transformation I've experienced in these short 5 weeks is genuinely remarkable. Not only have I noticed muscle development, but the surge in my strength is undeniable. Every session with Omar is not just about the physical growth; it's also the positivity and encouragement he brings that makes each workout a pleasure.

Walking into High Octane, the warmth is palpable. Friendly faces greet you, making you feel instantly at home. The meticulousness with which the gym is maintained is evident - it's always spotless. It's more than just a gym; it's a community that cares.

I was introduced to High Octane through a “Women Who Lift” class being offered there. The class was what I needed to introduce me to weight-lifting and give me the confidence to continue building my skills through a membership at the gym. I never thought I would be embarking on this journey into fitness and wellness in my mid-fifties. High Octane has created a clean, warm, inviting and supportive environment, which is inclusive to all ages, shapes and sizes, no matter where you are in your journey. The professional staff (physio, osteo, massage, chiropractic, personal training) consists of a dedicated, caring group who are passionate about what they do. They work together with a common goal of helping clients achieve optimal health and well-being. They motivate clients to work towards their health and fitness goals with just the right amount of encouragement, push and praise. They are also very approachable when you have questions. High Octane is a small, family run business that has successfully managed to create a sense of family within the gym. Thank you to everyone at High Octane for your efforts and support!

High Octane is a unique place, and a refreshing change from other training facilities. When you first walk in, the positive energy and friendly staff (and happy plants!) will instantly make you feel welcome and at home. The space is comfortable and intimate, always meticulously clean, and has top-notch equipment. What’s really special about this place, though, is the feeling of community and the kind, dedicated staff. The atmosphere is encouraging and supportive, there are members of all ages and fitness levels, working towards a wide variety of wellness goals, and there is absolutely no judgment :)

The entire team of health professionals at High Octane are knowledgeable, passionate, and professional, and most importantly, they genuinely care about helping people achieve their wellness goals. It’s clear that a lot of care goes into hiring staff that are just the right fit. I’ve come here for physio, chiro, massage, and active physiotherapy / personal training, and my experiences have far surpassed my expectations, every time. Andrew, in particular, deserves a special shout out as he is a great trainer and teacher. He will challenge you, but also empower you so you feel confident to work out independently.

It’s convenient having so many services available at a single location, but what’s even better is that the staff communicate and collaborate, which ensures your treatments compliment one another, and allow you to simultaneously treat pain/injuries and work on your fitness goals (and avoid reinjury). Their online booking system is easy to use, and as an added benefit, they also offer direct billing for most insurers.

I feel very fortunate to have found High Octane - it is a small gym with a big heart. Over the past 25+ years I’ve had memberships at commercial gyms, community fitness centers, private yoga studios - nothing compares. Seriously, book a tour with Andrew or Naomi and see for yourself!

I had a wonderful experience at High Octane. Cristina is the best massage therapist around, I highly recommend her!! The facility is very clean, they truly have something for all your needs. I 100% recommend and will be returning again soon!

Thanks to High Octane, I’ve finally been able to build a healthy relationship with exercise and create a routine that I love sticking to. It’s the only gym I’ve been able to keep consistently going to because of the incredible community Naomi and Andrew have built. Whatever your goals are, the staff and other gym members are here to encourage you.

The space is clean, comfortable, and has all the equipment you need!
