“As a professional goaltender, one needs to pay special attention to detail.  I now see that even the smallest changes can create the biggest improvements in performance.  Sam is very detail oriented and provides extensive knowledge in regards to mobility and strength training.  I admire her ability to create new and refreshing workouts daily to keep one feeling challenged and engaged. Every day is a positive experience with Sam and working with her is a pleasure.”

 

- Jared Coreau, Goaltender for Steinbach Black Wings of the ICE Hockey League

"Okay. Real talk people. Sam is honestly the best trainer I have ever had. She is literally able to get you to achieve any goal you set out for yourself. She’s magic, she’s motivating, and she’s just plain and simple: the best... with Sam you are pretty much guaranteed results. After her and I were able to accomplish my goal, I still to this day continue to train with her because she is worth every penny and has become a friend."

- Sam Raffa, Ottawa Police Service

"Sam was extremely instrumental in me getting out of my COVID “funk”.  I had put on weight, lost muscle, and was generally just not feeling great in my body.  She was amazing at tailoring my plan to my busy lifestyle and took a very thoughtful approach to designing a great program around my various injuries.

 

As a physiotherapist, I greatly appreciated her functional approach. She still found ways to make sure I hit my physical goals, and I always found the workouts fun and interesting."

- Kurt Kranz, Physiotherapist

"I felt like the Tinman trying to tie his shoe… several months of mobility training with Samantha and now I’m the scarecrow dancing in the wind… seriously I’ve radically improved all movement, my body has unravelled decades of desk sitting, I can wrestle the 6 year old and hang out on the ground with the 2 year old without feeling like I’m going to crack and break getting up!  Samantha is worth every dime!"

​

- Bruce Spurr, dad & business owner

"When I first started working with Sam, I had multiple back and knee issues from years of poor form in lifts going uncorrected. Sam identified the issues right away, and took the time and care to help me overcome my bad habits and rehabilitate my injuries. Without her attention to detail, I would still be in pain during competition, as well as be limited in my athletic potential."

- Harrie Jones, Collegiate Hockey Player, Ontario Tech

"Samantha is a very professional and skilled trainer. She is supportive and incredibly knowledgeable. She has adapted workouts for me throughout my pregnancy and post partum journey. She offers great one on one and workouts tailored to your goals and needs."

- Julia McDonald, mom and triathlete (go Julia!)

"Sam is an energetic, fun, and very knowledgeable trainer that I’ve have the pleasure of training with over the last 3 years. Her classes have taught me so much about strength, conditioning, and mobility. She customizes her workouts to suit your needs and fitness goals and is always there to answer questions and give sound advice. For anyone looking to take their fitness and nutrition to the next level, I highly recommend training with Sam! You won’t regret it."

 

- Andrew Karam, weekend warrior

"I have been working out with Sam for 3 years now and I would highly recommend her. She is always enthusiastic and excited to get me moving (even if I'm not) and has helped me with various injuries over the years. Her knowledge is vast and she can easily adapt a work out in the middle if it's not working for me. She's a great listener and plays awesome music to keep me motivated. If you're looking for someone to challenge you while also making sure you are comfortable and supported, then Sam is the trainer for you."
