If you're looking for a trainer who knows not only about fitness and weightlifting but also sees the bigger picture of fitting it all into your lifestyle - Ola is the one!
Over the years, I have developed methods and training philosophies that promote an enjoyable process and lasting results.
Strength Training
ST gives you the biggest bang for your buck when it comes to gaining muscle, boosting confidence, improving body image and building a solid foundation for all other pursuits.
Joint Mobility and Movement
Often a missing link when it comes to the longevity of gym training, reducing aches and pains, and lowering the risk of injuries.
Nutrition and Recovery
In conjunction with strength training, introducing sustainable nutritional changes will efficiently improve body composition.
Personalization & Consistency
You don't have to be 100% perfect, but maintaining 80% consistency in your new habits is essential to achieve results. I'm here to provide you with the personalized tools to make it possible.

I have been working with Ola for over a year now and am so happy with my progress under her direction. Although I have been lifting weights for many years, I hadn't made real progress against my goals.
I have wanted to get stronger and lift pain-free. Not only am I lifting more, but I feel so much better. She has spent a significant amount of time working with me to understand where I had pain and then designing my movement prep to counter my issues. She's also provided excellent recommendations for other health providers (chiropractor) to help with specific issues.
I highly recommend Ola. She's knowledgeable, cares, and takes a holistic approach to building strength and overall well-being.
Simy B.
Ola is amazing! I have been training with her for a year now and have seen massive change in my body, strength and overall health. She is very knowledgeable and takes time to understand what my goals are and how I am progressing.
She provides guidance for nutrition and pushes me throughout the workout. Our workouts are fun too! She helped me gain confidence in the gym. Very punctual and organized.
I am so thankful to her. She is fantastic 🥰

I have been working with Ola since 2022. When we started, I had advanced arthritis in my right hip joint and was scheduled for hip replacement surgery. I could barely walk to the end of my driveway at the time, but being an active person, I still really needed exercise and movement over the 6 months before surgery. Ola created a strength training program with modifications that supported my mobility — it was very doable, appropriately challenging, and kept me as fit as I could be given the circumstances.
At three months post-op, I got back into training full-on and have felt the benefit of continuous progress and measurable strength gain with 2x/week workouts plus stretching and mobility “homework” exercises. The outcome from working with Ola over time is significant: I feel fit, strong and confident in my body.
I am grateful to Ola for her knowledge and thoughtfulness in creating a highly customized program mindful of my personal mobility and that incorporates exercises to support my goals as a very active mountain, gravel and road cyclist.
I highly recommend Ola: she is a real gem of a person and an exceptional personal trainer.

I can’t recommend Ola enough! I have only been working with Ola for a few months now and I have been able to achieve my initial weight goal. I feel amazing! Ola is talented, thoughtful and so knowledgeable. I never dread working out which is huge for me.
Ola is also so patient with me as I bring my 1 year old to our workouts often and Ola is so great with her and adjusts as needed which I appreciate so much. Highly recommend!!
Anastasia C
I highly recommend Ola as a personal trainer as she is incredibly knowledgeable and has all necessary skills to provide safe and effective training. She always listens to my concerns and provides clear instructions and feedback during our training sessions. I have quite a busy work schedule but Ola makes it super easy for me - she is always willing to accommodate my requests and preferences which helps me to stay consistent with my workouts.
Ola makes you love working out and looking forward to the next session which never sounded possible to me 😅 She is fun and easygoing but, at the same time, Ola pushes my limits and always challenges to work harder that I thought I could. I only see her once a week for about 6-7 months now and I already feel the difference and see how much stronger I’ve become.
You will love working with Ola!
Taylor P.
Ola has this unique ability to be both tough & positive. I know you will push me outside my comfort zone which is what I need! I now feel confident lifting weights, enjoy working out for the first time in my life, and feel strong!
Lucy R.
Earlier this year I set two goals for my fitness journey this year, one was consistency and one to get my pull up! I’ve smashed one and close to getting the other - and I couldn’t do it without Ola!
From the start she’s listened to me and then pushed me to go that bit further than I would ever on my own. Her coaching style is supportive whilst holding you accountable (she’s also a lot of fun!) as a result I’m lifting heavy, my body composition is changing and I’m more committed to my fitness than ever!
Thank you Ola!
Jelena M.
I would highly recommend Ola for personal training and coaching! I initially reached out to Ola when I wanted to get back into weightlifting safely and effectively. I had a number of aches/pains with my knees and back but that did not stop us from getting to work.
Ola has been incredibly knowledgeable in not only just fitness but in taking care of joints and working through discomfort. Ola found ways in her programming to keep me moving and progressing without the aches getting in the way! It's been about 6 months and I am nearly pain free. Beyond weightlifting, she's introduced me to functional mobility and breathing exercises which have made me feel amazing.
Ola goes above and beyond for her clients. She's been incredibly thoughtful and supportive in navigating the challenges of balancing fitness with a busy lifestyle and the aches and pains. If you're looking for a trainer who knows not only about fitness and weightlifting but also sees the bigger picture of fitting it all into your lifestyle - Ola is the one!
Mandy C.
I don't have upper back pain anymore, my shoulders feel strong, and I am able to go to work without feeling tired in my upper back muscles. Olga really motivated me, kept me accountable, and with every work out I felt energized, and happy, and my overall health and mood were better.
I feel stronger and more confident about myself!

Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely not. I have trained dozens of beginners and consider it one of the most rewarding experiences as a trainer to watch them achieve their fitness goals and accomplish things they never thought possible. I will personalize the program to suit your current fitness level and help you progress.
In-person training is a premium service, costing between $190 and $270 per week. Having a coach to guide and push you during sessions is one of the best ways to achieve your fitness goals, but it’s not the only way.
If you’re not ready to invest in in-person training, I offer online and hybrid options that provide the tools and accountability you need at a lower price point.
I train individuals ranging from total beginners to intermediate trainees who want to advance their knowledge in strength and mobility training. What matters most is not your current training level, but your desire to improve by 1% every day and your willingness to stay open-minded.
I am located in Toronto's Corktown neighbourhood, at Training Lane, 487 King St E, Toronto, ON M5A 1L9 - a private personal training studio. My online clients are based throughout North America.
