Personal Training @ The BTG
Unlock Your Strength. Build Real Capability. Train in a Community That Actually Feels Like Home.
Small Group Personal Training at The BTG Garage in Abbotsford
You Belong Here
If you want to get stronger, move better, and feel more capable in your everyday life, you will fit right in here. You do not need to be in shape to start. You just need to show up ready to work and ready to grow.
Training at The BTG Garage is a great match if you are someone who:
Values consistent effort more than chasing perfection
Wants structured training that actually moves the needle
Appreciates humour, camaraderie, and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere
Enjoys being coached and is open to learning and adjusting along the way
Wants a community where encouragement is normal and comparison is not
Likes the idea of becoming genuinely stronger, fitter, and more resilient without the hype or the ego
If you prefer a highly competitive atmosphere, want very high intensity training every session, or are not looking to be coached closely in a small group setting, this probably will not feel like the right fit, and that is totally ok.
Why I Love In-Person Training
Coaching people in person remains one of the deepest joys in my professional life. There is something powerful about watching someone grow in confidence as they master movements, find their strength, and realise they are capable of far more than they believed.
The energy in the room during our small group sessions is something special. People connect, support each other, challenge themselves, and bring a sense of community that is hard to put into words. That connection genuinely feeds my soul.
The BTG Garage was created so that people could train in a space that feels safe, supportive, and uplifting. A space where capability grows, friendships form, and training becomes one of the best parts of someone’s week.
If that sounds like what you've been looking for, you'll probably feel at home here.
How We Train at The BTG Garage
Training at The BTG Garage blends structured strength work, personalised coaching, and a genuinely supportive small group environment. No more than four clients train at a time, which means every session feels focused, attentive, and tailored to the people in the room.
Here is what makes training here unique:
Strength first programming built for long term capability and durability
Intelligent progressions or regressions that match your actual readiness on any given day
Coaching that watches your form and adapts your session based on how you are moving
Technique cues that help you improve without overwhelming you
Modifications for injuries, mobility limitations, or low energy days
A predictable weekly rhythm that helps you stay consistent
A community that encourages effort, celebrates small wins, and makes training genuinely enjoyable
A culture of respect and inclusivity for people of all identities, backgrounds, and walks of life
I want you to leave each session feeling accomplished, confident, and capable rather than crushed or overwhelmed.
Our Community Culture
This is the heart of The BTG Garage and it is non-negotiable.
Inclusivity
Everyone is welcome and everyone is respected.
Gender identity, faith, background, orientation, ability level, and body size have no bearing on your belonging here.
Creating a safe and affirming space is personal for me and one of the most important aspects of what we do.
Humility
You do not need to know how to do anything before you arrive.
You do need to be open, curious, and coachable.
No Ego
We train hard, but nobody postures or competes for attention.
Consistency
Progress comes from showing up even on the messy days.
Humour and Camaraderie
We work hard. We laugh hard.
Training is serious work but it should also feel enjoyable and human.
If this sounds like the kind of environment where you would thrive, you will probably love it here.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
No. Many of our members began with limited (or zero) training experience, returning from long breaks, or recovering from injuries, pregnancy, surgery, etc.
All sessions are adapted to your current ability level.
-
Each session is one hour from start to finish, including the warm-up.
-
Because this is a home based facility with a strict cap of four clients per session, space is extremely limited.
Most of our clients have been with us for four years or more, so turnover is very low and we only have a handful of openings in a typical year. Openings are filled based on both schedule fit and community fit.
We hold one hour training sessions from Monday to Thursday, with a mix of mid morning and late afternoon or early evening times (up to six different session times in a day). We do not offer early morning, late night, or weekend sessions.
Most members train twice per week, which is our minimum commitment.
The most common schedules are Monday and Wednesday or Tuesday and Thursday, to allow for a full rest day between sessions. Members usually attend the same session days and times each week to ensure consistency in their routine and steady progress.
If you are interested, the best place to start is the application.
-
We do our best to help you make up missed sessions when space permits, but this depends on availability in other time slots.
-
Memberships are billed monthly in advance by pre-authorized credit card only, and we require an initial three month commitment to ensure you have enough time to settle in, build consistency, and start seeing meaningful progress.
After that initial period, memberships continue on a month to month basis with no long term contracts.
Our small group format was intentionally chosen to make high quality training affordable for most people while still providing close coaching and a personalised experience. We will discuss pricing in more detail after your application is reviewed so we can confirm schedule fit and community fit first, but rates start around $240 per month for training twice per week.
-
Applying does not commit you to anything. It simply helps me understand whether we are a good match.
Step 1: Apply for a Spot
Tell me about your goals, your training background, your schedule, and what you are hoping for.
Step 2: I Review Your Application
I look at schedule alignment, your goals, and whether you would thrive in the BTG community.
Step 3: If It Is a Good Fit
You will be invited to a short consultation where we discuss details, expectations, and pricing.
Step 4: If It Is Not the Right Fit or There Is No Space
I will still point you toward other options or online programs so you have a clear next step.
-
Yes. While our small-group personal training sessions are the best fit for most people, offering a fun, supportive training environment while still providing plenty of individual coaching and attention, we also offer one-on-one personal training for those who prefer a completely personalised training experience.
One-on-one personal training starts at $120 CAD per session, billed monthly in advance based on your agreed training frequency. If you'd like to explore whether it's the right fit for you, book a complimentary One-On-One Personal Training Consultation.
Ready To Get Started?
Whether your goal is to build strength, improve your fitness, lose body fat, prepare for an event or simply become a more capable, resilient version of yourself, I'd love to help.
Because coaching takes place in a small-group environment, places are intentionally limited to ensure every member receives the guidance, coaching and accountability they need.
Use the button below to complete the short application form, and we'll arrange a time to chat about your goals, answer your questions and determine whether Personal Training @ The BTG is the right fit for you.
Looking For A More Tailored Training Experience?
While many people thrive in our small-group training environment, others prefer the individual attention and flexibility of one-on-one personal training.
If you'd like a program built entirely around your goals, schedule and experience, let's talk about whether one-on-one personal training is the right fit. One-on-one training rates start at $120 per session, billed monthly in advance based on your agreed training frequency.
