Personal trainer in Winnipeg helping guide people to live better lives. Run coaching.

It's been almost 3 years at North Star Fitness and in that time I'm excited to share that I've been promoted to a Level 3 Trainer (actually happened back in March). In an effort to strive for excellence both for myself and the amazing people I work with, this promotion has come through increased experience and ongoing education.

The latest certification is from UESCA and is their Ultrarunning Coaching Certification, the only one of it's kind in North America (so I've been told). I've been able to coach athletes from 5k-200 mile events over the last 5 years and this increased knowledge will truly help athletes perform their best and reach their goals.

If you want to work together, send me a message (either DM or email, toews[dot]ja[at]gmail[dot]com), I'd love to hear from you and what you want to accomplish. Perhaps I can be a guide on your journey!

This is Barb. Barb shows up, is consistent, works hard, has some hugely challenging goals and is a pleasure to train. She was my first client and continues with me 2 1/2 years later. In that time she's done 300 sessions and is well on her way to 400. The moral of the story...be like Barb!

If you want to not only improve your lifespan, but also your health span, get out there, move as much as you are able, get your heart rate up regularly, and lift heavy things. Your future self will thank you.

Barb was my first-ever personal training client at North Star Fitness and it's been quite a journey. She just returned from South Africa where she attempted a 250k stage race in the Kalihari Desert. It didn't end quite as hoped for due to getting brutal food poisoning the week before, but regardless, her tenacity and grit are incredible.

Congrats Barb on hitting 200 sessions (which she did a while ago, I was tardy in getting the patches). Looking forward to the next 100 and beyond. Keep pushing toward those goals!

Carla Toews , aka Mom, for real...she is my Mom has hit 200 sessions at North Star Fitness. Working with her is incredible as we get to spend time together, but also work toward some great goals. In addition to getting stronger and more mobile, did you know she also crushed some goals this past weekend at a trail race I organized under On the Edge Running called Beaudry Fall Classic? It was incredible and inspirational. Can't wait for the next 100 sessions!

And that's 200 sessions for . Through the ups and downs, bumps in the road and everything in-between, she keeps showing up and doing the work. Our sessions go fairly quick as it seems we always have something to talk about. It's been amazing working with you the past 2 year, keep it up! Congrats.

Another 100 sessions in the bank for Breanne! It's always an adventure with you and even with some weird work schedules we make it work and you always show up. Congrats, you're doing awesome!

Shout out to another one of my clients hitting the 100 session mark! Leslie puts in consistent work, she is motivated, works hard every session and is a pleasure to train. Here's to the next 100!

For each client who does 100 sessions, I provide a North Star Fitness hoody and "100" patch. I also have 200 and 300 patches, of which there will be a few coming in the future! So great!!!

Another step taken in my education and desire to be the best Personal Trainer I can be. Completed the Human Movement Specialist Certification with the Brookbush Institute. Learned lots, still lots to learn and am excited for what's next.

The past 2 years at North Star Fitness have been phenomenal. I get to learn from one of the best, and my clients are incredible. Very grateful!

I am opening up space to add a few more run coaching clients. If you’re looking to take your running to the next level win 2022 and need accountability, a plan and encouragement, send me a message and we can coordinate a Zoom call to see if working together would be a good fit.

See Leslie's testimonial below.

I’ve been running road and trail races for many years while following my own training plan, but just felt like I was missing something. I decided to join a gym and start strength training in a group, which was beneficial, but not dialed in enough for what I was wanting to accomplish.
That all changed the day I started training with Joel. By being attentive to my goals, personality and past experience, Joel has created a strength and running plan that perfectly suits me as an individual. No cookie cutter plan here! He goes above and beyond to explain the various movements, is always encouraging and I feel fully supported in my goals all while having fun and seeing results. I’ve never been stronger both physically and mentally!

I’ve been working with Dan for quite a while and it’s been an honour to be his coach. With the future uncertainty around gyms being open with COVID restrictions, I am opening up space to add a few more run coaching clients. If you’re interested, send me a message and we can coordinate a Zoom call to see if working together would be a good fit.

See Dan’s testimonial below.

“Joel has been my running coach since June 2018. My fitness has no doubt improved as a direct result of working with Joel. At the end of each block, I can feel myself becoming more fit and stronger as a result of trusting the process that he has developed. I was excited when he was able to offer a strength component to my program as I knew that my running would improve. One of my favourite aspects is Joel’s weekly messages. When designing the program, he is thoughtful in everything that is prescribed. This same thoughtfulness is evident in the weekly message. Depending on how the workout was for me, he responds in a caring manner. If I had a bad workout, or a bad week, Joel is encouraging and validates how I am feeling. If I feel down, he brings me up with his kind words and encouragement. If I had a good week, or workout, he’s excited and proud of my work. Joel is everything that a coach should be…but so much more. I am in the best shape of my life and I owe much of it to Joel.”
