Testimonials
From my very first appointment the staff @ Athletes Only Conditioning have been nothing short of amazing. I have a history of different injuries and needed to work with someone that would be able to modify movements to accommodate them; their initial assessment appointment prior to the workouts definitely put me at ease and gave me confidence in their abilities. Their ongoing dedication and support is inspirational and makes my early morning workouts something to look forward to. “I would recommend their classes to anyone, from someone that regularly works out and wanted to enhance their fitness to someone that was just starting on their fitness journey.”

I thought I didn’t have a bad shape before I was addicted to the almost daily workout with Natasha and Alan four months ago. I thought my physical condition was not that bad before they adjusted my posture, the way of engaging core, driving glutes and squeezing shoulder blades, and even standing properly. But the more I work with them, the more I realize I got to reshape my whole body structure and take and practice their any piece of advice and instruction.
When I had a chance to return to the mat of a martial art dojo, I felt my round-house kicks were more surprisingly powerful and efficient as I turned my hips. The daily practice of knee drives got my knee kicks more penetrating and powerful. I can get more balanced and stable when I throw jab, cross, and hook punches. I feel I have better knowledge and habit on squeezing my bum, pulling in and up my belly button, and getting shoulders down when I do any other types of movement. The improved cardio also helps me last longer in other sports.
I believe the results came from the constant correction, adjustments and pushes by the two passionate professional trainers: Natasha and Alan. They watch you all the way and may customize the exercises according to your condition.
“I highly recommend AOC for anyone who wants to do something right in the areas of physical improvement and better health.”

I enjoyed the personal training part of the program and it was great for me. Alan really took the time to access you and what you needed and got the right exercises for me.
“I would recommend Alan and Natasha for anyone who wants to get into shape. And they also make it fun for you at the same time.”

Wasn’t sure about joining a program, but you can sign up for sessions on your own schedule, and classes are small — no more than six people with one or two trainers.
The great thing is that you learn how to do each exercise correctly, and Natasha and Alan are expert coaches –they demonstrate, mentor and train as you learn and progress. The other members are friendly and the half-hour workouts make you sweat, with an always-changing series of short but challenging routines.
Since I started at AOC I feel better every day, continue to pay attention to my fitness and health even when I’m not at the gym, and I look forward to every class.
“I recommend Athletes Only for anyone who wants to lose some weight, and get back to being in shape without a huge commitment of time or stress. And they also play great music!”

I’ve been training with Athletes Only for two months and I’ve had exceptional results. The classes are short and intense with a lot of attention paid to correct form. Working out with all three trainers has allowed me to shed just over 10 pounds in a relatively short period of time. “If you’re short on time but don’t mind working hard to get results in a smaller class atmosphere then these classes are for you.”

I started working out with Alan Dobie in August 2011 and have lost 13lbs, dropped 2 dress sizes, and gained so much muscle and toned the flab!I used to hate the dreaded thought of exercise and had the same excuses, “I don`t have time“, or “It costs too much and I can do it on my own“. I never thought I`d say this…
“I actually miss it when a day passes when I don`t work out!”

“I’ve been working with Alan for 18 months and at 67 years old, I am stronger, have more stamina, balance has improved and my ____ is a lot more enjoyable. “If you are interested in being fitter and healthier, Alan is your GO-to-GUY!“
Dr. Jim Sellner, Phd, Dip.C.
I’ve never ever kept with a gym program before and it’s been years since I regularly worked out. There’s a million excuses why and I’m sure you’ve heard them all!
I really just want (express) how much I appreciate coming to the gym and training with you (guys). I feel so much better than I did a month ago “I have more energy and patience for the kids (which is first on the priority list), I feel stronger and my pooch is hanging out less now that I hear your voice telling me to engage my core all the time. I feel a difference in so many different areas of my everyday life“ bending over to pick up toys, climbing stairs, walking — all feel more solid and strong. And my husband is super proud of me for sticking with it.
“I am not a morning person. At all. But something about the workouts (…) make it easy and enjoyable to get up and go that early in the morning.”
PS, for the first time ever, I am packing gym shoes and clothes for our trip! I’ll be looking for stairs to run up and down and getting my girls to do bum drop squats, karaoke jumps and other fun stuff with me to keep me going.
Take care,
Karen
