David Perry raises the bar on what an executive recruiter should be. It's not often you come across…read morea recruiter that actually changes the game but David fits that category. He's written multiple books on recruiting that show off the range of his expertise AND unlike many so-called "influencers", he still works as an executive recruiter. I know that a single review can only mean so much so just check out the Testimonials page on his website to see that it's not just me who thinks this highly about David.

Funny story, I purchased David Perry's book back in 2012, "Guerrilla Marketing for the Job Seeker…read more3.0." The book made an impact on me, but as it turned out I fell into a great job and didn't need the book. I did take many concepts from the book and integrated them into my sales process which gave me great results. So I was already a fan of David Perry and his writing. In 2016 I came across a very good LinkedIn profile and connected with the owner, not realizing it was again David Perry. I only realized a few months ago I have been connected to him via LinkedIn for several years. Finally, in late 2018 after successfully selling a company I owned and finding myself needing full-time employment, I signed up for David Perry's "Guerrilla Marketing for Job Seekers" online program which is much more in-depth than the book and is helps "hand-hold" a person through the job seeking process. Again, I started the Guerrilla job-seeking process and came in contact with David (i was already a bit of a fanboy so it was very cool to actually interact with the author of a book I was a fan of) about some items on the online program and he informed me of a position he was trying to fill that I appeared to be a good fit for. As it would turn out, I received an offer and accepted the position. It's the job I've been waiting for and I am grateful David approached me about the opportunity. However, even though I have had very good fortune and haven't actually had to use the Guerrilla job seeking system, I can attest to its results as I regularly use its principles in my sales career. I am confident that should I ever find myself needing a new gig, the "Guerrilla Marketing for Job Seekers" online system or book will find me the next "dream job." I'm absolutely convinced of it. If you get a chance to talk or meet David, I highly recommend it. He's an amazing recruiter and even better guy.

My husband and I are big fans of Positive Movement gym! Having a community-centered gym with…read moreexcellent trainers and classes focused on mobility and strength in the neighbourhood is fantastic! We've been regulars since the gym opened 13 months ago. Personally, I've seen great improvements in my strength and mobility, and I've even managed to alleviate my neck stiffness and dizziness by receiving guidance and support from the trainers to focus on building my lats to reduce strain on my traps.

FINAL VERDICT: Third…read moreand last review for Studio One. As promised, a word on effectiveness and results: In the course of the 2 months and 15 sessions I had, I would say I didn't really get the results I expected. I feel more fit and that's priceless but I didn't see a weight loss (in fact I saw a significant gain) Overall I didn't feel I was always pushed hard enough. Compared to other trainer sessions I've had (traditional and boxing), this was the least positive result-wise, even after adjustments to my diet and sleep hygiene. I can only guess that this had something to do with a slow start and lack of cardio-intensive workouts. But for the money paid, this is disappointing. I either have to consider more sessions or a different approach to my fitness goals. So while my trainer was fabulous and a guy I hold in high esteem, the Studio One services didn't meet my expectations. Disclaimer- I am a yelper so keep in mind that with a less forgiving/more disciplined diet, you might be able to take better advantage of sessions at Studio One.

A few months ago I was shopping around for a personal trainer to help me out with some…read moresport-specific goals (I'm a dragon boat paddler). I brought those goals to Craig, the owner at Studio One, who set me up with a weekly session with Josh, one of the trainers there. I've been paddling for 15 years, and this is the strongest off-season I've ever had. I know I owe a lot of that to Josh's help. Notably, I find that I am able to give feedback, or to let him know if I'm plateauing/injured/etc., and he is very good at making adjustments in the workouts. He also takes my dragon boat off-season training plan into account, which is not something that a lot of other studios were willing to do. I find the rates to be reasonable, and the Beechwood location is convenient to where I live, so no complaints there. Sometimes I have to shift around my appointment time to accommodate my work schedule, and Josh is always amenable to that. This is a boutique studio, which I prefer. It means there aren't any strangers or meatheads watching you work out. There's not really much cardio equipment, but I would hate to go there and just do cardio (srsly, I can do that on my own). Most importantly, everyone at Studio One is super nice. I never feel judged when I'm there, and when I'm not feeling very strong they're very motivating. As with anything related to fitness you're only going to get out as much as you put in, and I feel like Studio One and Josh really help to make sure that I've got all the tools I need to do that for myself.

I have just finished a few sessions with Matthew and wanted to take a moment to express my thanks…read morefor his conscientious approach and advice, as well as treatment of course! With a preliminary consultation by phone to get some clarity on my personal situation, an approach that addressed my particular movement issues and limitations, I was very happy with the treatments and exercises I received while working with him. I work in a custom service industry and appreciate that his approach is also very customized to my needs. I hope to not see him again for a long while, given that he has provided guidance for my own continued progress on my own time, with the standing offer of follow-ups whenever I need them. And he's a very nice person too :-)

Working with Marie has been really helpful. I came in struggling with gut issues, low energy, and…read morepoor digestion, but I've noticed a big improvement in all of those areas. My digestion is more comfortable, my energy is steadier, and I'm sleeping better. The probiotics started helping within about two weeks, and the oil massage technique she recommended has been a game-changer for bloating. I also loved the sample recipes--easy, nutritious, and delicious, and they've really boosted my confidence in the kitchen. The new diet feels sustainable and nourishing, and I feel a lot more balanced overall. Marie's coaching made me feel supported and comfortable throughout, and I never felt rushed. I'd definitely recommend Marie's services to anyone struggling with gut issues or wanting to improve their overall health. I've felt really well taken care of.

Clean, sleek and new space. Lots of available parking. Friendly service. Would definitely recommend.

Every single specialist I've seen has been stellar! I'm committed to restoring my full and complete well-being after recovery from COVID and this team of wellness professionals is helping me to do just that. There are so many lingering effects of COVID long after the virus has wreaked havoc on your system (for me, it's 4 months later!), and I've had help with many of the fallout effects from the kind folks here, who really know their stuff. I give special thanks for the superior skills of Khoi (acupuncture), Kimberley (osteopathy), and Valeria (therapeutic massage). Are you as committed to wellness as I am? Then, please do get yourself here for a treatment if something ails you. They are extremely professional and careful to follow COVID recommendations, requiring everyone to wear a mask (no mask, no entry!), wash your hands upon arrival and travel through the building in one direction only. I feel safe here, while I'm being cared for, and you will, too. Here's to health! F**K COVID.
