In 2014, I began my journey in the field of personal training at World Health Club, where I cultivated a passion for helping individuals with diverse fitness goals. Over the past decade, I have honed my skills in training not only the general population but also university-level athletes engaged in sports like basketball, volleyball, and soccer. My pride stems from the rich ten years of coaching experience I have accumulated since 2014.
I was recently recognized as one of Edmonton’s Top 40 Under 40 for the class of 2022 for the rise and success of F.R.E.E. Fitness, an achievement I am profoundly grateful for in my career within the fitness industry.

“My parents immigrated to Whitehorse, Yukon, over 30 years ago during the Vietnam War. They learned how to speak English in a foreign country during a very difficult transition in their lives. They taught me the true value of hard work, dedication, and perseverance. I’m also a die-hard Kobe Bryant fan. R.I.P.”

Having dedicated 14 years to hockey and the past 8 years to the art of Olympic weightlifting, I’ve found solace and strength in sports. My story, like many others, involves battles with mental health and self-confidence, challenges that persisted through my teens and twenties. Fitness emerged as my sanctuary, a realm where I could maintain my mental well-being during a time when discussions about mental health were scarce. Through my struggles with addiction and alcoholism, I came to realize the intricate connection between mental and physical health – they intricately intertwine, each profoundly influencing the other.
My coaching approach goes beyond the physical aspect; it delves into the emotional, mental, and overall well-being of an individual. I firmly believe that these elements are deeply interconnected and vital to one’s holistic health.
Whether you’re embarking on your health and fitness journey for the first time or you’re an experienced lifter, I am confident in my ability to guide you. My goal is to help you evolve into the best version of yourself, considering not only your physical strength but also your emotional resilience and mental fortitude.

“Lu Xiaojun is my sports role model because he is the 77 kg (169 lbs) Olympic lifting world record holder. He recorded a successful 176 kg (387 lbs) snatch, 204 kg (448 lbs) clean & jerk, and a 380 kg (836 lbs) lift total. As it stands, there are no other weightlifters in Lu’s class that come close to reaching his two-lift total.”

Vik Sarda2024-01-13Nothing but positive things to say about F.R.E.E.! It’s an amazing place to work out for everyone from seasoned gym-goers to beginners. The trainers and staff create an incredibly friendly and welcoming environment that truly sets F.R.E.E. apart. I look forward to my training sessions with Mathew every week. His friendliness, combined with his wealth of knowledge, has played a pivotal role in pulling me out of a workout rut. I wholeheartedly recommend F.R.E.E. to anyone looking for more than just a gym but a community that fosters growth, camaraderie, and overall well-being. I am grateful to have found such a gem in the world of fitness.
Brad Ronaldson2024-01-11Worked out with Tony for the first time. He’s extremely knowledgeable and knows how to target weaknesses within a functional, sport-specific workout. Definitely will go back.
L French2023-12-31Great gym! All the trainers are super positive and outgoing. My friends suggested this gym to me and I’m glad I went. I highly recommend.
Kenya Hushagen2023-12-31Cannot say enough great things about F.R.E.E!! Gyms can have a tendency to feel intimidating, but I never felt more comfortable walking into this space; incredibly welcoming, friendly energy. My training with Tony over the last 4 months has been the best gym experience I've ever had. He knows my personal goals, but also sees the potential I may not even see myself and therefore pushes for even better, stronger, more efficient training out of me!

Wes Liang2023-12-10I’ve been working with Tony for over a month now. Tony’s expertise and knowledge of the subject matter has been invaluable in helping me understand what is holding me back from getting in better shape. His enthusiasm and positive attitude have made the experience enjoyable and engaging. Also I find His communication with me after our sessions is really helping me focus on our next session and motivates me wanting do better at things we worked on. Can’t wait to get back to work!
Melanie Lyne2023-10-28Such a great gym! I always feel so welcomed and all of the staff are so kind! I’ve been active in gyms for 6+ years and I was recommended by a friend to come here a few months ago. I was looking for a good trainer to help me get back into an exercise routine while I recovered from a vehicle collision. I was struggling to do anything without pain at the time. Matt has been beyond helpful during my recovery! He knows how to adjust my form until it’s absolutely perfect which I love and he can explain everything to me so well! I’ve learned more than I ever had in the gym before. FREE Fitness has a great environment and an amazing team!
Benjamin Prather2023-09-29I have had nothing but positive experiences at F.R.E.E Fitness. They have super friendly members/trainers, adapt for individual needs, plan targeted exercise, and have knowledgeable trainers. Just overall a great gym!
christina2023-09-23Was staying at an airbnb in the area and wanted to find a gym nearby. Came across F.R.E.E online and they were so accommodating and helpful in allowing us to attend during our trip. The gym itself is like a literal playground. So much to do and so much equipment. (The basketball net was a huge bonus for my partner, haha). Coming here gave us a home away from home; we're so so happy we found this gym and plan on coming back whenever we're in the area. Highly recommend checking them out! :)
rai has2023-09-18Free fitness is a great gym. I have been training with Hailey and she’s been incredible. Hailey is friendly, approachable, and always there to assist. She’s knowledgeable and always ready to tweak the workout to give best outcome depending on goals, physical health, -and commitment, whether you're into high-intensity workouts or something more relaxing. The gym's atmosphere is motivating and inspiring as you see trainers caring for people from every fitness level with the same passion.
