Open to the Public
No Student ID Required
You don’t have to be a York student or staff to train with us.
For the first time ever,
we’re opening access to university-level coaching and rehab services
right here at the Glendon Athletic Club.
That means:
- CSCS-certified Strength Coaches (normally reserved for varsity & elite teams)
- Licensed Athletic Therapists (for injury recovery, mobility, and movement correction)
- Personalized 1-on-1 training built around real goals — not fitness hype
If you’ve ever felt like real coaching wasn’t available unless you were an athlete or had a big budget… this changes that.
We’re Not Just a Gym
We’re the GAC Performance Division
Real coaching. Real rehab. Real outcomes.
This isn’t about burning calories or pushing random workouts.
This is a professional system
built around how you move, recover, and improve.
We combine three high-performance services in one integrated coaching model:
- CSCS-level Strength & Conditioning (normally reserved for varsity athletes)
- Licensed Athletic Therapy (for injury recovery & movement correction)
- Evidence-based Personal Training, built around your actual life
You won’t find this combination in a typical gym.
And until now
it wasn’t available to the general public.
This isn’t a 12-week trend.
It’s the start of how you move and feel for the next 12 years.
You bring the effort.
We bring the system.
Real People. Real Wins.
No stock photos — just the results from our GAC community.
Rebuilt Strength After Injury
With Coaching That Actually Listened
-Evan D., Graduate Student, York University
“I came in after dealing with nagging shoulder pain for over a year.
Every time I tried to push my training, something would flare up.
I knew I needed help — but I didn’t want to be told to ‘just rest’ again.
The first session at GAC felt different. My coach actually took the time to assess how I moved — not just how much I could lift. From there, we built a program that focused on smart mechanics, not ego.
We started with foundational work like rows, movement prep, and mobility drills — and progressed to heavier strength work once I was moving well again.
It’s the first time in years I’ve been able to train pain-free, consistently, and with confidence.”
Built Lean Mass & Strength the Right Way | No Guessing Required
-Marco L., Community Member, Former Varsity Athlete
“I’d trained before, but I was never really consistent — and I wasn’t seeing the results I wanted. Every time I tried to build muscle on my own, I either plateaued or burned out.
Working with a coach who actually understands strength programming made all the difference. My plan wasn’t generic. It was tailored to my goals, my body type, and even how I respond to stress and recovery.
Over four months, I’ve added 10 pounds of lean mass, improved my posture, and hit personal bests I hadn’t touched in years — all without injury.
The biggest difference?
I’m not guessing anymore. I trust the process, I understand my training, and I’m finally seeing consistent gains.”
10 Weeks Stronger|Mentally & Physically
-Alex M., Undergrad Student, Glendon Campus
"Before this program, I hadn’t worked out in over a year. Between classes, commuting, and just feeling self-conscious in the gym, I didn’t know how to restart. I was nervous I’d get injured, or just give up again.
From day one, Justin met me exactly where I was — no judgment, no pressure. We focused on proper movement, rebuilding my strength safely, and creating a plan that fit my schedule and energy level.
What surprised me most wasn’t just the physical progress — it was how much more confident I felt walking into each session. I stopped dreading the gym and started actually looking forward to it.
“en weeks in, I’m noticeably stronger, my posture’s better, and I feel like I finally know how to take care of my body — without overdoing it. I’ve never felt more capable."

Frequently Asked Questions
❓ How do I know if this will actually work for me?
Our system adapts to your starting point — not someone else’s. We’ve coached complete beginners, busy professionals, and recovering athletes. Everything is built around your goals, timeline, and experience level.
❓ How do I know if this will actually work for me?
Not at all. We work with all levels — from first-timers to former athletes. You’ll get a plan that matches your current capacity and builds you up gradually, with zero judgment.
❓ What if I have a super busy schedule?
No problem. Most of our clients do. Sessions are short, efficient, and scheduled around your availability. No wasted time — just focused progress.
❓ When will I start seeing results?
We focus on consistency, not gimmicks. That said, most clients notice improvements in energy, mood, and movement within the first few weeks. Visible changes follow when habits stick — often by week 4–6.
❓ Do I need access to special equipment?
Nope. We can work with minimal equipment or fully leverage our on-campus training facilities. Either way, the plan is built for your environment.
❓ What happens after the 12 weeks?
Many clients choose to continue with us. We offer progressive coaching options to help you stay accountable, keep building momentum, and reach bigger goals.
❓ Is there a catch?
No catch — but we do ask for effort. We’re not here to babysit. If you show up, follow the plan, and commit, we’ll meet you with full support and real results.
❓ How much does it cost?
The consultation is 100% free. From there, we’ll walk you through any next-step options — no pressure, no hard sell. Just honest coaching built around your goals and budget.
