I’m so glad I booked with Ethan — after just two sessions, I already feel so much better and have much more energy! It’s a great place to boost your motivation, especially if you’re someone trying to get back into working out after a long break. Ethan is an excellent trainer, and you’ll definitely notice the difference. I truly believe it’s worth investing in our health.

I started seeing Ethan 6 months ago after being stuck on a fast food diet with no exercise for years because I was reluctant to going to the gym by myself and didn’t know where to start. It has greatly improved my everyday lifestyle and outlook on health. Ethan is very knowledgeable and accommodating (to my injury’s) in getting the best work out. It’s never awkward, he always makes me feel like I can ask anything I am curious about, and I would highly recommend anyone to start his program in order to take better control of their health and fitness. Thanks again Ethan!!!

I decided I wanted a Trainer to help me get into a strong habit of working out. Ethan proved to be a valuable resource to gain knowledge and build confidence in the gym environment, which has allowed me to really push on with gaining strength and losing fat. We started with a handful of sessions in their excellently equipped home gym space to really gauge my capabilities, and moved to online coaching which was a great financial option for me. Together with customized programming and weekly video check ins, Ethan provided the encouragement and accountability to really build a healthy relationship with the gym. I now feel well equipped to move forward with my personal fitness goals, and will definitely look to Ethan in the future if and when my fitness goals advance.

I worked with Ethan during an 8 week virtual personal training program (in actuality I finished 7 weeks of the program before I left on vacation). Right from the beginning I was impressed with the process, after filling out some questionnaires we had a zoom meeting to talk over my goals and come up with a plan. It was really nice that he listened and included me in the planning. I really felt that it was a collaborative process and he really listened to my concerns and worked me through them. My biggest fear was tracking my nutrition and sticking to a diet! It turns out the way Ethan set up my program, following the diet was very easy and easy to document it on the apps he had me using. On the exercise side, he was very good and giving me modifications and alternate exercises that worked better with my injuries. During the 7 weeks, I lost 10 lbs, gained 4 lbs of muscle and lost 14.5 lbs of body fat (o lost 5.6% body fat)! I was blown away at how easy Ethan made the whole process. During the whole program, I was never hungry and the workouts were very manageable. I very much enjoyed the whole process. I would highly recommend working with Ethan to anyone wanting to meet your health and fitness goals.

Training with Ice and Ethan at HFS has been a game changer for me and worth every cent! I was previously taking a bunch of group classes with mixed results. But after a few months with HSF, I feel stronger, more capable, and more knowledgeable. The gym is clean, bright, and well equipped. But most importantly, Ice and Ethan take the time to tailor training to my needs, goals, and lifestyle.

Had an amazing experience with Ethan ! My transformation was incredible! I highly recommend him as a trainer

I have been working with Ethan for a year and a half now. Not only does Ethan help me achieve my fitness goals, his priority is preventing injuries, which has changed my way of working out and viewing exercise. Ethan has helped me understand and plan nutrition, even while working a grueling work schedule. While training with Ethan, he is easy to talk to and always manages to make working out fun. Ethan is always my biggest cheerleader during and outside of our sessions. I would recommend him to anyone who is considering starting or continuing their fitness journey.

I started out not knowing a thing about training but Ethan has taught me so much. He’s very supportive, but will push you when you need it! He’s very good at adjusting workouts to how your body is feeling. He’s very knowledgeable about all health a fitness and he’s always there when you need him! Highly highly recommend!

I've been working with Ethan for about a year. In this time I've gone from 150lbs to 168lbs of lean mass. Ethan helped me uncover that strength is a big opportunity for growth. I was already in great shape, with great flexibility. I have an active lifestyle and before I started training I thought I was capped. I didn't think my body was capable of surpassing 155lbs. Similarly I didn't think my frame was capable of deadlifting 2x my BW without imploding. Ethan took me on a journey of gradually building strength and pushing past my perceived limits. I enjoy his thoughtful programming and knowledgable insights. I never thought I could nerd out about athleticism, but here we are. Thank you Ethan and yes, I'll get my cardio done *soon*.

I trained with Ethan for around a year helping me prep for my wedding and he was absolutely amazing. Not only a very fun person to work out with and have fun conversations with but also very knowledgeable about working out and pushing his clients to the level of strength they can achieve. He’s patient, great communicator and always checks on clients. Can’t wait to start working out with him to prep for the next big event!

My son always talked to me about how much he enjoyed this training system, and how much he improved his strength in general. Isatu is a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic athlete-trainer. We are very grateful for her dedication and for having her as our trainer.

Fun to be around, very effective workouts

I've been attending HFS for almost 6 months + and it's been a pleasant, yet painful experience. Isatu (Ise), my personal trainer is so kind, sweet, caring, considerate, flexible. I can go on and on about her. But when it comes to working out, she does not play and gives you tough love, which is what you need when working out. She comes up with great new innovative ideas. I would 150% recommend their services. She is great to work with and I enjoy my workouts with her. Moreover, she has high knowledge on nutritional studies. She is very welcoming and keeps it highly professional. What more can you ask for in a trainer?

I first started going to see Ethan about 10 months ago. He could see a fifty year old in an eighty year old body. He developed a routine that was not aggressive which I loved as I’m on the road a lot and being constantly sore was not my thing. He also noticed my range of motion was near that of a corpse. We started working on that and light workouts. Today I have the range of motion that I had back in high school and I’ve lost 35 pounds. With being on the road as much as I am, I owe so much to Ethan for creating a hotel room program and various other things to help me back to a healthy lifestyle. Ethan is knowledgeable and creates individual programs tailored towards you and your goals. I can’t recommend him enough.

I can’t recommend Isatu enough. She is incredibly knowledgeable about strength training, flexible with programming, and super fun to spend time with.

HFS Performance offers amazing personal training in a very well equipped and clean gym. My trainer, Ethan is awesome. I have a rotator cuff tear and low back arthritis. He has been working with me for a year and has helped me regain strength, joint mobility and balance. His breadth of knowledge and understanding of injuries and exercise modification is impressive. Take control of your health journey and call HFS Performance today, you'll be so happy you did!! Fiona Styles

What an amazing experience working out at this amazing private gym in South Edmonton! It's a drive for me but well worth it because Ethan and Isatu are an amazing duo! I saw Isatu training in a rec center years ago and I remembered her so when I saw she became a personal trainer, I knew I had to sign up. She is incredibly detail oriented and so kind! She makes me feel very comfortable and motivates me to keep goingeven when I feel tired! Ethan has always been great at explaining movements! You will not regret your decision to train with Isatu or Ethan and you will see results!

I feel transformed! I am so thrilled I found HFS with Ice and Ethan! I have been an athlete all my life but I was lost after having a kid of what to do. Ice and Ethan were phenomenal from the beginning! I felt so comfortable talking to them and the facility and equipment are top tier and private which is what I was looking for. I've been too nervous to work out in big gyms and they took the time to analyze every moment and exercise so I would avoid potential injury. I have an ACL tear as well and even with heavy loaded weights, I felt fine while they made all the necessary adjustments to get the best workout. They were available for me with last minute notice or questions and I so appreciate how much care they show! Ice gives me all of the best, healthy BUT DELICIOUS recipes! Thank you both so much for taking such great care of me physically and mentally! I do not hesitate to recommend you both to anyone regardless of current skills as a new gym-goer or someone who has years of experience like me!

I started training with Ethan years ago, and watched as he went from a gym buddy to the personal trainer he is now. He's worked diligently on my programming, working around my other sports/activities (golf, ice and ball hockey, hiking). Ethan's attention to detail has been great for my training schedule, and has helped me with my athletic performance and overall health. I would highly recommend Ethan + Isatu to anyone looking for knowledge based personal training.

When I came to Ethan, I had reservations about training my legs and back because of surgery. Ethan was able to help build my strength and technique, which gave me the confidence to lift heavy weights and train hard. After a year of training, I have gained more muscle and less body fat!

100 STARS! Isatu (ICE) & Ethan are amongst the best trainers I have ever worked with. Their depth of knowledge is comprehensive and it is all backed by fully supportive attitudes and an environment that makes you feel so welcomed. Isatu’s combination of training at the highest level and pursuit of becoming a dietician will make this team a force to be reckoned with. It has only been a few weeks and my quality of life has risen substantially. I consider myself lucky to have found them before they are at full capacity. I love it so much I recruited my family to join me. They love it. Between all of us, we all have specific medical conditions and varying physical limitations that Isatu and Ethan have happily taken on. They become so intuitive so quickly with the individuals they work with and are able to adjust and plan for a long term game. For HFS, the game isn’t just abs (although they can make it happen) but instead a holistic view of health in mind and body. Our family has never had more fun paying attention to our daily activities, diet, supplements and more. We are now more connected and I credit these two amazing human beings. We are grateful! Thank you both so much.
