Half a floor and six kettlebells
Brian Kotoka opened Thrive Fit on Queen Street East in May 2013. In his words: “When I got this space I only had enough money to get half the floor covered and six kettlebells.” He had seen semi-private training work in California, knew it would reach Canada, and chose The Beach because he knew the neighbourhood. Thirteen years later the model has not changed: your own program, coached in person, at up to 6 clients per coach.
You start with a free Baseline
Thirty minutes, one to one, an InBody scan and a plan you keep. Nothing to buy at the end of it.
No music. No mirrors.
No pretence and no hype either. You have our attention, and nobody spends the hour watching themselves.
A physiotherapist in the building
Lisa Burnfield runs her own practice at the same address, so when something needs treating rather than training, you are not left to work it out yourself.
Who coaches you
Where our members come from
Eighty in every hundred active members live within about 5km of the studio. We train in person only, on Queen Street East. If you cannot realistically get here several times a week we will say so rather than sell you something that will not stick.
