GARETH PUGH
Personal Trainer
Gareth believes great training starts with feeling comfortable, supported, and understood. His approach is warm and personal, focused on helping clients build something realistic, sustainable, and enjoyable. He welcomes questions and takes the time to explain the “why” behind everything you’re doing, so you always feel confident in the process.
A University First Team All-Star in soccer with a background in hockey, tennis and multiple sports, Gareth has always been into fitness. He built his own training company in Toronto over the last seven years, working with c-suite clients; earning 25+ five-star reviews. He has recently returned to Ottawa to offer the same level of care and attention.
His approach combines rehab, resistance training, cardio, and nutrition/supplementation in simple, science-based programming. Many of the biggest wins come from addressing underlying movement issues, often in the knees, ankles, shoulders, hips, and back. The goal is simple: help you move better, get stronger, and feel your best long term.

“After 7 months of working out with Gareth my bad knee is the strongest/most flexible/most pain-free it’s been in years, I have muscle gains, much less of a gut, and definite energy gains. Gareth is knowledgeable and great to work with, and the program he created for me continues to make an amazing impact.”
– Ian, 56
“Working with Gareth has been a game-changer. After struggling with painful back and shoulder issues from years of Crossfit, I was hesitant to workout again, but Gareth’s approach completely turned things around. In about 6 months, all pain and discomfort is completely gone. He pays meticulous attention to every single movement and focuses on ensuring a perfect technique to achieve great results and avoid injuries. I’ve achieved results I thought I’d never see. If you’re looking for real results, a supportive environment, and a trainer who truly cares about your progress, Gareth is your guy.”
– Valentin, 32

Whether you want to tone, build muscle, or just feel healthier overall, he will help you achieve your goals in a safe & effective manner!”
