SVPT Fitness & Athletics

I started working out at SVPT Training Centre about a year ago with some co-workers in a group workout session twice a week. NINO CRUZ is our personal trainer, and the experience has been exceptional. First, the training centre overall has a positive vibe with all the trainers & staff very personable and inviting. Having NINO as our trainer has been very productive and a lot of fun. Nino always has a smile on his face, while making every session very challenging. I cannot remember how many times I have woken up the day after a workout thinking – “I did not know I even had muscles there!” These two weekly sessions are cannot miss appointments and something I very much look forward to. Nino makes each session very different, focusing on all areas of the body, with a mixture of weight training and cardio. Even though we are in a group of 4 - 6, he does a great job of keeping an eye on everyone, offering encouragement and corrections to our form where needed. As I get older and can feel the body start to slow down, Nina has helped me stay strong and have more energy. If there is a reason I must miss a session, my body feels it and I am even more motivated to attend the next session. If you're looking to start exercising properly or take your training to another level, I highly recommend NINO CRUZ and the team at SVPT Training Centre. They truly care about helping people live their best life! Devin Gray Realtor EXP Realty

I've been training with Nino at SVPT Fitness for almost a year now, and I still look forward to every workout. He somehow manages to make workouts challenging, fun, and something I genuinely don't want to miss. Every workout is different, and Nino does an amazing job adapting exercises for different fitness levels, injuries, and our ever-changing group size, so everyone gets exactly what they need. He knows how to challenge you while making sure you're moving safely and with good form. He's knowledgeable, encouraging, and keeps things light with his sense of humor (and whatever catchphrase he's using that week when you finally nail a movement). I've become noticeably stronger and more confident since starting, and while he regularly finds new ways to make me question my life choices (battle ropes, I'm looking at you 😅), it's always worth it. If you're looking for a personal trainer in Edmonton who genuinely cares about helping you improve, whether you're just starting out or you've been training for years, I can't recommend Nino and SVPT Fitness enough.

This is an excellent gym with a great atmosphere and top-notch equipment. Nino Cruz is an great personal trainer--professional, knowledgable, motivating and he genuinely cares about his clients' success. I've made consistent progress working with him and would highly recommend both Nino and SVPT fitness.

I love SVPT and particularly my trainer, Sarah-Beth. I joined SVPT at a pretty low point in my health journey and I needed someone who could show me compassion while also challenging me to put in the work. Sarah has been all of that and more: a fantastic trainer, a kind soul, and a patient "therapist" while I talk her ear off. She listens, she understands movement and what my body is capable of, she shares her knowledge, and she has inspired me to work hard, improve my health, and be the best version of me. The rest of the staff are fun and friendly, the facility is clean, bright and welcoming, and I enjoy many laughs and motivational conversations with other people who go there. SVPT and Sarah have been exactly what I needed to take back control of my health!

"Everyone at SVPT thinks they have the best trainer, but Nino truly is the best. I’ve been working with Nino for 16 months now, and I can honestly say I am stronger and fitter than I have ever been. He consistently develops programs that challenge me, keep me engaged, and help me continuously build strength. When I first decided to hire a trainer, I was incredibly nervous because I had never stepped foot in a gym before. However, after my very first session with Nino, I realized I had absolutely nothing to worry about. He always prioritizes correct form and creates a supportive environment. If you want a knowledgeable, encouraging trainer who knows exactly how to help you reach your potential - Nino is the best!
