As we women get older we need to work on our strength. Mitch has helped me do that, all while taking great care with my bad knee and assorted other age-related aches and pains. I have fewer of those aches and pains now, I am much stronger, and my arms look way better in a sleeveless summer dress. (The latter is bonus!)
The more I attended the better I got and the faster I started seeing results. Mitch always helped me get past my comfort level and was always so encouraging. After just 10 weeks I was a whole new person inside and out. My body changed but my confidence grew immensely. I will forever be thankful for Mitch seeing my full potential and bringing it out. I highly recommend him if you're willing to put in the work and want to see changes. Thanks Mitch!!!
I have been training with Mitch at MPOWERED for almost 9 months now. Before starting I hadn’t been to a gym for almost 6 years and was living a pretty sedentary lifestyle. At that point the idea of just walking into a gym was intimidating. What if I used the equipment wrong? What if I get there and don’t know what to do? People are going to judge me! But once I got there I could immediately feel the welcoming atmosphere! I’ve met some really great people and Mitch has been helping me create a healthy lifestyle while also keeping me accountable. I’m now down 40 pounds of fat and have put on 10 pounds of muscle! I feel the best I’ve felt in a long time and couldn’t have done it without the help of Mitch and the MPOWERED family!
I contacted Mitch in early 2020 when I was hating the gym, bored and making excuses not to go because even though I felt like I was working hard, I was not seeing real results. When in doubt, hire the professional! Mitch taught me how to train smart and change my diet and I am physically and mentally stronger because of it. Structured workouts and meal plans keep me motivated and hold me accountable. MPOWERED is a small gym, and you will often see familiar faces. There is a sense of camaraderie there which is something I have not experienced at other gyms. I look forward to my workouts and would recommend Mitch to anyone who is looking for some help achieving their fitness goals.
I went from 34% to 21% body fat on Mitch's program just in time for my daughter's wedding. MPOWERED is only a block away from my office downtown which makes it very convenient. Friendly atmosphere and definitive results!
Training with Mitch made a huge difference to my strength, diet and overall fitness. He helped me not only reach, but exceed weight lifting goals I made for myself that I probably wouldn't have reached without Mitch pushing me and assuring me that I could do it. The workouts are tough, but you always come away feeling accomplished!
So when I called Mitch last October I felt I had hit bottom and needed the help of a professional to help me get into shape and lose weight that I had been attempting, in the wrong ways, to take off for years. After 2 kids and belonging to the gym off and on for the past 6 years, I weighed more that I had even when nine months pregnant, didn’t really fit any of my clothes and wasn’t happy with the way I looked or felt.
He was the first phone call I made as it was his ad that popped up first on Kijiji. We talked on the phone for quite a while and before I even met him face to face, I was sold. I came in on that first day and was so overwhelmed as I had never even lifted a weight before in my life. He took it really slow those first few sessions, introducing me to each machine or exercise, showing me how it worked, and correcting anything that needed to be. The full meal plan, which I think was introduced to me in week 2, was what really got things going for me. It was customized to me and based on my weight, the weight I wanted to get to, and the amount of activity I was doing. Although the food was not the type I was used to eating in the past, I wasn’t hungry and always satisfied.
I saw Mitch two or three times per week for about 8 months and in that time, lost 41 pounds! And feeling like I worked for every single ounce of it. And really, it is what I gained that means the most to me; muscle, strength, energy that I have never had, and a feeling of not being embarrassed of my own body. My family has benefited from this as well. We eat healthier than we ever have, automatically making the choice of natural over processed when it’s available and cutting out the juice and processed snacks altogether.
Mitch Gauvin at MPOWERED Training is someone who I would recommend to anyone, no matter what level they are at, who is serious about reaching their fitness goals. His expertise and knowledge will impress you as you change your life. I know it did for me.
Training with Mitch, I was able to lose 40 pounds and obtain my goal weight in less than 6 months. Since then I have continued to surpass my goals and I am now stronger and more fit than I have ever been before! MPOWERED is a fun atmosphere and Mitch is extremely knowledgeable and motivating. All you have to do is show up and you will achieve your goals
I often find big weight rooms at other gyms intimidating so I used to just go to the gym, do cardio and leave.
With Mitch, his gym is small, comfortable and he is always there to personalize and motivate me through each workout.
I started going to the gym when I was 16, I'm 36 now. I've seen more results with Mitch in 4 months than I did on my own in 20 years. What else is there to say.
The sessions are challenging but manageable. With Mitch's help I went from 22.8% body fat to 8.7% body fat in 5 months while putting on 10lbs of lean muscle.
I recommend Mitch to anyone seeking a healthier lifestyle.
Mitch has a great little gym right downtown. I can walk there to work out over lunch. And the gym has a great atmosphere with fun people.
But the reason I keep going is the results. Nothing is more motivating for me than progress.
