FLOFITNESS CROSSFIT ESSENCE

All my life I was used to being a skinny guy. No matter what I ate or what activities I performed, I couldn't put on muscle mass and my weight wouldn't budge. CrossFit provided exactly the stimulus my body needed. Within only 1 year of working with the incredible team at Flo Fitness CrossFit Essence, I was able to put on a whopping 35 lbs of muscle, and I'm still trending upward. My raw strength has doubled. My friends and family barely recognize me. I'm in the best shape of my life and have gained new physical skills I thought were previously unattainable. The expert team at Flo Fitness CrossFit Essence has been supportive, caring, and motivating. I highly recommend them. More...

I've tried most of the CrossFit gyms in Toronto and in my opinion, Crossfit Essence is one of the best. The gym has a strong combination of knowledgeable, caring coaching, friendly members, and convenient location. As an example of the great coaching, last spring the team ran a 6-week "transformation" program for my wife and I. The program consisted of customized workout and nutritional programs and personal training. At the end of the 6 weeks I had dropped almost 7% body fat. The best results I'd ever seen from any previous workout plan.They also have fantastic rehab. Last year I slipped a disc in my back playing sports and they guided me through the entire rehab process - from initially stopping the pain and unfreezing my back, to safely treating the injury and training my back so that it is stronger than ever. I can't say enough positive things about this gym. They usually run promotions so potential new members can try the gym for free. If you're thinking about it, do it! More...

Coach Flo and the coaching team at FloFitness CrossFit Essence is like nothing I have experienced before. The attention to detail and personalized attention during CrossFit classes is extraordinary. I have recently moved provinces and I feel like I have already made tremendous strides in my athletic performance. I look forward to learning and developing more at this box. The community is also phenomenal. Unlike many CrossFit gyms everyone is always saying hello to one another and Introducing themselves to the newbie. I didn’t feel new or uncomfortable once being at this gym. I recommend anyone looking for a change in programming, gym, or a great drop in box to check out Flo!!!! More...

Whenever I am back in town, I make sure to drop in at CF Essence. The space is efficiently laid out with all the equipment typical of a CF box. Flo, the owner, has a unique training approach that comes from his experience as a physical therapist. He knows how to tailor a training program to an individual's needs and limitations, and is 100% committed in seeing results from his clients. If you have a particular skill or lift you want to master, then Flo is definitely the guy you want to see! More...

I cannot recommend this gym more highly. Flo has been an incredible asset to my training and rehabilitation. His knowledge is really second to none and he has improved my perspective on health, training, and longevity immeasurably. I will continue to work with Flo as long as he will have me and I would encourage anyone that is considering trying his gym to do the same without hesitation. More...

Best sports rehab outcome you could ever ask for – I should know!I own a rehabilitation centre with over a dozen clinicians who couldn’t fix me, so you can imagine I was loathe to spend money on an outside clinician. I mean, they all go through the same training and follow the same protocols more or less, right? So I thought, but I had a hunch with Flo things could be different and took a chance anyway. What he did blew my mind. He fixed me so well in fact that six months later I can’t even remember which shoulder was debilitating me now that they both move so fine.Flo is the rare clinician who is not only well versed in all things musculoskeletal thanks to his training as a physio in France, but he’s hands on and does more as a trainer than just design programs and show you how to work out. Flo is an authority who understands the fundamentals of gymnastic movements and Olympic lifting among other sports which demand levels of mobility that go beyond standard sports/workout routines.He has synthesized the knowledge from all these areas and is able to apply rehabilitation protocols against this backdrop to truly functionally restore and enhance athletes to the point they need to be at.We live in a world full of trainers, athletes, and clinicians. But it’s the rare specialist indeed who as an embodiment of all three can systematically understand and hone in with laser focus on a problem in relation to a specific functional limitation to prescribe/deliver targeted hands on manual interventions with surgical exactitude.Flo is that man.So if you you’ve been to everyone and aren’t getting better; if you think your injury is simply because your body has given out and are giving in to age; if you are looking as surgery as a next step; stop what you are doing and go see Flo first. I can assure you won’t be disappointed. More...
