TESTIMONIALS

I have been training with Jeff for a few years now and have made gains in strength, mobility, nutrition, overall health and most importantly in confidence. When we were first introduced I was struggling to reprioritize my health and fitness and my journey since then has been full of ups and downs requiring pivots and accommodations to our usual training routines. Throughout those times Jeff was flexible and understanding, making plans and back up plans to be prepared for my unpredictable and changing needs/goals.

While Jeff loves to joke around and have fun with his clients he is also super knowledgeable and puts a great deal of thought and effort into each individualized plan. He holds his clients accountable and expects the same amount of effort in return. It’s so great to work with a trainer who values training the individual instead of recycling the same workout for all his clients.
 I am grateful to Jeff for helping me to eniov the avm again and I look forward to continuing to be pushed outside my comfort zone and reaching new goals!

Before I started working with Jeff, I was in a constant battle with my lack of strength and motivation. I was struggling with my postpartum body and had just survived cervical cancer. I felt weak both physically and mentally, and the thought of exercising gave me anxiety. I decided I needed a personal trainer to help me overcome my hurdles. From the moment I met Jeff I knew instantly he wasn't going to let me give up on myself. After my first initial meeting with Jeff, I left it feeling heard and understood. He immediately recognized my struggles and tailored a program to suit my needs and capabilities. The workouts were challenging, but Jeff always provided the right amount of encouragement and support to keep me motivated and push myself to limits I never thought I could achieve. The personalized approach Jeff took was a key factor in my success. Being a retired competitive dancer, l've had many injuries along the way as well as tight muscles. Jeff can adapt his approach to be personalized to any body type or age! As my strength & stamina improved my workouts gradually increased in intensity. I now have the motivation and confidence to believe in my ability to overcome any challenges in the gym and my personal life. I witnessed incredible changes in my physical and mental well-being.

Working with Jeff has been a life-changing experience for me. I'm grateful for the guidance and support he has provided me along the way through this empowering journey. Not only through the fitness side but as well as my nutrition. Working out with Jeff is always interesting, and fun! A lot of laughing in between sets, and encouragement, especially during the last few reps! If you're struggling with your own fitness journey, I highly recommend investing in Jeff, who will understand your unique needs and will unlock your full potential.

I can't say enough praise, Jeff has transformed my gym experience into something enjoyable and exciting. His positive energy, humour and engaging workouts make me look forward to every session. Thanks to him I see myself making fitness a long-term part of my life. I’m genuinely excited to see where this journey will take me in the future

Jeff is the 3rd trainer I have crossed paths with. For how ever long I am in the hamilton area, he will be the go to, and the one to recommend. I've done solo sessions, couple sessions and recently been doing workout sessions in a group of 3 people with Jeff. All 3 of us are at different levels but he manages us well and makes sure that we each get a great workout every time. He not only was accommodating towards my bad knee, but had incorporated workouts to help strengthen the muscles around it so that I could work my way up to doing heavier weights safely. He is very knowledgeable and has experience with all types of clients at all levels which is something to appreciate, especially when seeking out group sessions. Our mix bag of a group consists of a someone brand new to the gym to a frequent gym goer. When needed, he adjusted the execution of the workout for each of us based on our own seperate needs. He changes up things and has us try new exercises, which helps us too not stay in that repetitive boring routine of the same thing each time.

He's created a very open environment where none of us feel uncomfortable or timid. We are able to joke and make our sessions fun, but also stay on task, workout safely, and still feel comfortable enough to be able to speak up if we have questions or concerns. He explains everything well, painting a picture of what muscles are involved in each workout, what to avoid, all the reasons why, while also explaining what to watch out for in terms of form. He's also incorporated mobility movements into our sessions. Which has been great as we've begun to use these in our day to day at home! It's definitely a fun yet excruciating experience lol but worth every penny! Highly recommend him as a trainer!

If you're looking for a personal trainer or a basketball coach who is serious about your goals, someone that would push you to do better every single session, and is kinda goofy to make things more fun and exciting... then he's the one for you!!! I don't think there are enough words to describe how amazing Jeff is! Not only has he helped transform me physically and lose 10 kgs in 6 months, but he has also helped my mental health. He has this incredible vibe that will make you want to keep showing up for yourself. He only ever wants your best interest first and he will do whatever it takes to make it happen. Please take a chance on this guy and I promise you won't be disappointed!!! DAWG POUND FOR LIFE!!!

When I started with Jeff in November of 2023, all my shirts were pillowcases on me. Now it's safe to say I need some new clothes! I'm busting out of sleeves and ripping pants left and right, and it's all thanks to Jeff at Controlled Chaos Training. He starts everyone from the same position, whether you have had experience or not. He takes the time to show proper form and explain why each exercise works the way it does! Jeff even helps with nutrition and tells me how i need to eat to progress. He goes that extra mile because his heart is in it and you can clearly tell. He makes working out fun and something that I look forward to every week, even if it kills me. Jeff is the only personal trainer I'd ever recommend and the reason I'd recommend getting a trainer if you are new to the gym. CCT FOR LIFE
