WHO ARE WE?

Hi! I am Siggy, owner of Jolt Fitness, Boy Mom of 2, retired USports hockey player and fitness obsessed.

“I worked at gyms across Canada for over a decade. Facilities ranged from recreation centres, independent studios and boutique franchises. As a personal trainer, I kept hitting my head against the wall. Most group fitness classes lacked integrity in basic strength & conditioning principles. While personal training sessions focused on the importance of progressive resistance training, classes were led by methods of ‘entertaining’ and ‘feeling the burn’. Class programming was more geared to filling an hour time slot, then building an effective group training session.

When I opened Jolt Fitness, it was crucial to have integrity in my group training sessions. We strive to offer the highest quality training yielding strength and conditioning principles in a group setting. By joining our group training sessions, you get access to a high quality trainer, education with your form and movement practices, guidance on when to progress, semi custom movement recommendations and that extra motivation to show up for an epic community.

Our methods are revolutionizing the group fitness experience and raising the standard for active health care. We can’t wait to have you join the Jolt Fam!” - Siggy, owner of Jolt Fitness

At Jolt Fitness, we believe fitness transcends aesthetics; it's about ACTIVE healthcare. Our methods are built on three core pillars: Strength, Integrity, and Respect.

STRENGTH

We believe physical and mental strength empowers us beyond the gym. True freedom and optimal health are found not in obsessing over appearance, but in focusing on what our bodies can achieve. We believe in the power of community; strength in numbers is essential for reaching your goals. Jolt is here to help you level up—mentally and physically. We leave no teammate behind, pushing you to your next level, building the best version of you, and empowering you to live your optimal life.

INTEGRITY

Integrity means consistently standing up for what's right. It defines who you are and what you believe in. At Jolt, it means showing up and working toward your best self, every day. We embrace the underdog mentality: nothing is given, everything is earned. It's about putting in the hard work, even when no one is watching. How you do anything is how you do everything. We train with integrity, using trusted, experience-based programming and science-backed methods.

RESPECT

Respect for your body, mind, and others. We're here to help you feel good, not punish you for what you ate, who you are, how you look, or your current fitness level. We encourage listening to and respecting your body each day. We don't body shame, hyper-focus on aesthetics, or tolerate disrespectful actions or words about our bodies. We respect everyone, regardless of their fitness journey stage, meeting you where you are and coaching you based on your needs. Respect for others means building each other up, leaving no teammate behind, and pushing each other to the next level. At Jolt, there's a workout for everyone.

HIGH-QUALITY COACHING

Our highly educated trainers are an integral part of your ACTIVE healthcare team. We enhance your life through science-based, results-oriented programming. At Jolt, no one is left behind. We meet you where you are and elevate you to where we know you can be. We're here to help you feel resilient in your body and upgrade your high quality life.

GROUP TRAINING METHODS

Jolt Fitness leads and empowers busy hard working people to build resilient bodies and create a high-quality life through the power of progressive resistance training. Our methods are rooted in strength and conditioning principles that have withstood decades of time. No gimmicks or fads included. We ignore the “Tik Tok training trends” and root our methods with integrity and experience.

Specifically our Lift and Cross Train sessions are progressive programs designed by Coach Siggy (that’s me!), a trainer with over a decade of experience in all modalities and environments of training. Our Lift sessions are the closest experience you can get to personal training while maintaining the group energy and vibe that we all love! We believe in building a solid foundation of strength using consistent compound movements, and we’re going to help you understand why.

PERSONAL TRAINING METHODS

Jolt is redefining the gym experience, transforming it from a place of calorie burning and self-punishment to a center for building resilient bodies that upgrade quality of life. We are educated active healthcare professionals who prioritize science-backed training with integrity. Our focus extends beyond physical appearance to encompass mental health, lifestyle improvement, and expanding your functional capabilities, ultimately building healthy bodies that can enjoy life to the fullest.

We address limitations on two fronts:

• Anatomical Limits: These are inherent factors like genetics, autoimmune diseases, or childhood injuries that have permanently altered physical development. While we cannot change these, we can help manage their associated symptoms.

• Functional Limits: These are modifiable limitations such as chronic pain (back, neck, etc.), stiffness, and muscle tightness. By addressing mobility and stability imbalances, we can improve quality of life, reduce pain, and enhance overall well-being. Expanding these functional limits creates more capacity for an active and quality life.

We also focus on optimizing your:

• Lifestyle: Through personal training and expert support during classes, we facilitate positive lifestyle changes. This includes improving sleep, managing stress, providing nutritional guidance, and ultimately enhancing your overall quality of life. By addressing the negative impacts of poor sleep, high stress, and inadequate nutrition, we further increase your capacity for a healthy lifestyle.

• Exercise Stress: When applied correctly, exercise is a positive stressor. However, excessive exercise can lead to overtraining, manifesting in symptoms like weight fluctuations, hair loss, poor sleep, and injury. At Jolt, we customize workouts to meet your individual needs, consistently pushing you just below your maximum capacity. This approach progressively improves your capacity, allowing you to achieve more with less stress on your body.

At Jolt, our methods are deliberate and effective, with nothing left to chance. Our training is calculated and science-based. All you have to do is show up, and we'll guide you on your journey to a healthier, more fulfilling life. We invite you to experience the Jolt difference for yourself.
