Real Testimonials
Kevin MacDonald said his office was his truck, he ran 6 different construction related companies. He worked long hours and his health suffered. “I never kept in shape or nothing,” he said. He weighed 350lbs, took multiple prescriptions, including 10 insulin shots per day for diabetes, he used a sleep apnea machine and his kidney function wasn’t great. Doctors were looking at dialysis soon. “I was sick all the time,” MacDonald said. Last year when he had a second stroke Kevin MacDonald decided it was time to change. His right side was paralyzed. “I was screwed, near dead, I wanted to walk again,” he said. MacDonald said he started his workouts with Kurt McCormack from a bed in his living room. “I couldn’t even roll over,” he said. After about a year of working with Kurt McCormack, 59-year old MacDonald has turned his life around. He’s lost 110 pounds, just as many inches and has learned to walk again with the help of canes. “Kurt has got me doing a lot more walking now,” he said. MacDonald no longer needs his sleep apnea machine, or his insulin. “It’s unreal how a change in your diet and exercise can reverse diabetes,” he said. Most of his medications are gone now too. He works out about 5 days a week doing a home work out program with Kurt as well as eating a diet low in carbs and high in protein. “It gave me my life back, it’s getting better all the time,” he said. MacDonald said many people don’t recognize him. HIs advice to others: “Just get at it, get it done, It’s worth it.”

There is a saying, "If you don't look after your health when you are young you will have expensive chronic health issues when you are older!"
You may think you can not afford a gym membership or a personal trainor but Kurt helps you make lifestyle changes to prevent chronic diseases that can be financially cripiling. Medications to control diabetes, high blood pressure and elevated cholesterol can cost hundreds of dollars a month.
Kurt does an amazing job developing fitness and nutrition programs for his individual clients in a supportive friendly atmosphere. I have trained with Kurt for the past 3 years. The workouts are always challenging but fun. They have helped me achieve increased strenght and endurance but I have never been sore after a "Kurt" workout!
What I like best about Kurt's program is working in a group setting while doing my own individual program. I love to watch others reach new milestones and everyone is always so supportive and encouraging. Kurt makes a point of calling us all by name so we all get to know each other. It has become a fitness family and when someone doesn't show up you notice and miss them.
I remember being the newbie and thinking I could never lift weights or reach higher fitness levels. I try to make a point of letting new members know that if I can do it they can too! My advice to anyone worried about joining....once you start you will wonder why you didn't join earlier. I am so glad I joined. I have more energy and feel so much better!

I had been putting off exercising and eating better for quite awhile and finally reached the point that I had to do something to gain strength, feel better, both physically and mentally and lose weight. I was having lower back and hip pain daily and I knew it was time to do something.
When I started with Kurt in October of 2017 I wasn’t sure what to expect. Would I be able to do the exercises? Yes, I could do the exercises! Kurt was with me every step of the way. I never thought I would be able to work out for an hour and feel so good after. Kurt always gave me exercises that I could do…yes, they were challenging but I did them and have gradually increased the weights and repetitions. Would I be able to stop eating junk food and make healthier food choices? Yes, I could make healthier food choices…it was a struggle at first but I was and am still determined!
Because Kurt tailored the exercises to me, I started noticing my back and hip pain subside after the first two weeks. After four weeks I could really notice a significant change in my body shape. After three months of working with Kurt I feel amazing! I have more energy, I’m sleeping better, I feel better mentally and I have an exercise routine that works for me.
Kurt is very supportive, encouraging and he know's his fitness!

My name is Debbie
I have tried to lose weight and eat healthy over the years but always seemed to struggle and not reach my goals.
This January I started again with my same New Years resolution to get in shape and be healthy.
After the first month I was not getting anywhere, even gaining weight and felt so frustrated.
I started with Kurt on February 1 and after only two weeks I already feel more energetic and stronger.
I even feel a difference with how my clothes are fitting.
I am finally motivated to keep going as I can see that this program is working for me.
My only disappointment is that I didn't start sooner!

“How could I give you one to two lines for making one of the best fitness decisions in my sixty years? Physical fitness has always been one of my top priorities but I have not always been effective. The combination of your program has provided me with a do-able and healthy nutritional plan, expert one on one guidance designed specifically for me and my needs and a structured exercise program to follow. Your coaching has provided me with the confidence and assurance that I am doing the right exercises in the right way. It is not taxing because you gradually make it more challenging to get the desired results. I have never had anyone focus solely on me and my fitness needs. The program is just right and it is the best money I have ever spent for my personal health. And best of all are the results. I am getting close (not there yet) to the weight I was when my husband and I got married 38 years ago! In the first four weeks I lost 13.5 inches. Thank you Kurt for all that you have done for my fitness confidence and health. It is completely worth it and would recommend this to anyone. ‘Give yourself the gift of health!’ “

Every once in awhile you meet someone who you notice is doing exactly what they were meant to do and Kurt McCormack is one such person.
His knowledge, ability to motivate you, his concern for your well being and his general good nature are all things that make this true.
Kurt has shown me I can do things that I never thought I could and he has helped me lose a lot of weight and grow muscle in a relatively short time. I’m down over 80 lbs in 9 months and have decreased my body fat by 10%.
Because of his encouragement and structured training I am running, lifting weights and doing exercises I couldn’t have even thought about doing when I was much younger. I am truly in the best shape of my life and I can’t thank him enough for this.
If you are tired of feeling negative about your health and are serious about improving it then I strongly encourage you to talk to Kurt about your future, if you follow his plan it will work....

"Let’s face it, we all have busy lives and it seems that life is always getting in the way of our goals. I needed someone to be accountable too. Kurt was that guy.
His program has helped me to drastically transform my lifestyle and my body. So if you need someone to kick your butt...
Honestly cannot thank Kurt enough!! I feel amazing and I'm not stopping anytime soon. "

Lynn MacVicar can now run up several flights of stairs and says with laughter in voice, "When the zombie apocalypse comes, I'm ready, because I can go for a long time, they're going to have a hard time stopping me!" A few years ago it was a much different story, she had trouble walking up stairs and was making plans to move her bedroom to the main level because she was in pain just moving around. Her knees ached and she had very little quality of life--she weighed 350lbs. She says she felt miserable. MacVicar vowed to make a change when she was on the surgery table about four years ago for a hysterectomy operation to deal with fibroid tumours. (a condition she says can worsen with obesity) "I had this realization, I'm sitting here using medical resources and asked what have I been doing to take care of myself?" MacVicar says she was in a constant cycle of overeating and had told herself she didn't want to be a "a gym person."
In 2017 she reached out to Kurt. She says "meeting Kurt of Protrim was huge". "His cues, he just seems to know what weight will challenge you and says just what it takes to motivate you, without being over the top." She says Kurts motivation and the support of the group at the gym has helped turn her life around. She now goes to the gym 5 days a week and has lost about 140lbs!!! She says some people don't even recognize her. She also says it's more than extra weight she's shed...she's lost those feelings of self doubt. "It's just very freeing to feel comfortable, when I carried a lot of weight I shut a lot of things out - you kind of get your guard up," she says. "I'm happy to have found it, and I'll continue with it, I know that!" Lynn MacVicar says she's done lots of self reflection about her responsibility towards her own health. Her advice to others: "just keep going, put one foot in front of the other and ask yourself what are the best decisions you can make today" She says she wished she had done it sooner, but she's doing it now. She wanted to share her story because it was seeing Louise Campbell's story on Protrim's facebook page which motivated her originally. "If it helps one person finds their way, I'm okay with it."

After having to regretfully leave some of my favorite physical activities due to chronic knee pain and other joint issues, and then trying to motivate myself for workouts on my own for a while, I began working with Kurt at ProTrim. Kurt’s programming was instrumental in helping me heal and bring my fitness level back up. His extensive knowledge about things like biomechanics was so helpful. Kurt skillfully helped me modify workouts for my injuries, helped me strengthen key areas, and provided me with excellent stretches to release tightness and reduce pain. He also has an uncanny knack for prescribing the perfect number of reps given amount of resistance/weight – if I ever thought a move was going to be too easy or too hard, it would turn out that it was just right each time. That’s a skillful trainer! Thank you, Kurt, for helping me to regain my fitness level in a fun, supportive, and safe environment!
Laura Campbell
They say you meet people for a reason.. I am forever grateful that a co-worker introduced me to Kurt!
After several years of battling sciatic pain in my lower back, visits to many doctors/professionals. I am ecstatic to say that after a short 6 weeks of training with Kurt with his kind sole, big smile, and encouraging push to move forward, I am finally 100% med and 90% pain free and on my way to being my "New" old self again!!

I started training with Kurt McCormack about 5 months ago, after seeing the incredible lifestyle transformations that had been made by other clients at Protrim. I wasnt looking to lose weight or gain weight, but I had been feeling like I was hitting a plateau and becoming bored with my training style and wanted someone to give me a personalized program that would challenge my body and my mind to become better... and that is exactly what I received at Protrim.
After my initial consultation, I left the office knowing that I had made the best decision.
After just one week of training, I was addicted. Coming to the gym bright and early every morning, to be greeted with a smile and a high five from Kurt, who would then take me through 1.5-2 hrs of a very focused and efficient workout was exactly what I needed.
I began to feel stronger both physically and mentally very quickly and that is one of my favorite things about Protrim. It's not just a workout program.. it's a lifestyle change and Kurt is very clear on that.
If you're looking for a weight loss program, muscle building, toning, specific athletic training, a meal plan, general wellness guidance... Protrim has you covered.

Only started 4weeks ago but was totally what I needed. Accountability and expertise. I am hooked

This past summer I trained with Kurt for individual sport performance training to prepare me for the UPEI women’s hockey tryouts in the fall. Kurt was very professional, knowledgeable and pushed me to reach my goals during every session! Thanks to Kurt I went into tryouts in the best shape of my life, feeling confident and ready to perform at my best! For anyone looking for a great personal trainer, I highly recommend going and training with ProTrim Fitness! Thank you so much Kurt for helping me reach a lifetime goal of mine!

A little over a year and half ago, I started going to Protrim Fitness and working with Kurt and I can't believe that I'm still going to the gym BEFORE work (usually) 4 times a week! Kurt understands that you come in with goals wrapped in vulnerabilities. But with his support and coaching you're soon working on your "abilities". He is always "in your corner", smiling and either cheering you on or saying "It's ok, I gotcha"....when he's not telling you how many sets are next... It's been hard work with ups and downs but always moving forward. Thanks Kurt! ...and thanks to all the "Trimmers" on the floor, you're all so inspirational - Stop it already!! LOL

I started training with ProTrim Fitness last year. Since I began training with the program, I’ve noticed a huge improvement in my body’s strength and my overall health. ProTrim Fitness has given me the opportunity to feel healthy and much more confident in myself and my abilities. Kurt’s knowledge and positive energy makes me look forward to each training session
Isabella Thompson
I was always someone who would have a jolt of energy go to the gym for a few weeks see a bit of results and then quit. I never stuck with any workout or diet/lifestyle change, mostly because I had no idea what I was doing. I came across Kurt and Protrim through another social media influencer and began researching all things Protrim. I made appointment and met Kurt. First off he was so professional and easy going and you immediately felt comfortable with him as weight and fitness can be a touchy subject for people but with him it was easy. He starts you off light and slowly increases your workouts. With Kurt holding you accountable its easy to accomplish your goals and I look forward to our gym sessions. I have only been with Protrim for 4 weeks now but have noticed so much improvement in my overall fitness and weight loss goals. I highly recommend Kurt and Protrim to anyone struggling with where to start or even those looking for a change from their regular work out routine. You will not be disappointed!
Megan Dougan
ProTrim Fitness will change your life both Mentally and Physically for the better! Kurt's knowledge is outstanding, which will motivate you to continue working to achieve your health goals, day in and day out! I would highly recommend ProTrim Fitness
Logan Ellis
If you told me a little over a year ago that I would be going to the gym 4 or 5 days a weeks and enjoying it, I would have said you are crazy. But that’s exactly what I have been doing for over a year now!
At 51, I decided I wanted to age better, be stronger and have more energy - and I am doing it!
As part of the great community at Protrim, I am motivated to show up every day and work hard. Kurt makes it easy as he walks me through the workout and I am inspired and encouraged by my fellow Protrimmers! I am so much stronger than I was a year ago and I am proud that I have stuck to it. I don’t think I would ever have done it on my own.
I am finally doing something that is just for me and it feels great! It only took 51 years

In 2016, I finally decided I needed to take better control of my physical self.
I had been diagnosed with bone cancer (Chordoma) in 2010, and had the tumour resected from my spine that same year. During the surgery my left fibula was used along with surgical screws to rebuild my spine. Since my surgery, I’ve been dealing with pain, nerve damage, foot drop, exhaustion and limited mobility. I see Corena Hughes regularly for Physio to help with all of the above. (For me she is amazing in her own right too!)
By the summer of 2016, however, I had gained enough that I was more sore and less mobile. My friend Louise Campbell had told me about her experience with Kurt at Protrim. She had been working out with him for a bit and I thought maybe I should too. I went into the Spa and chatted with Kurt for a bit, I nervously explained my history and told him of my hope to lose weight, and to gain strength. He set out a plan to help with exercise and nutrition. I started the very next day, and have definitely seen changes in my strength and weight.
Being a part of the Protrim family though is the best benefit. Kurt is positive. He is pleasant and he cares about his clients. He is careful to adapt exercises for me, but also knows when to push my limits. I had been so scared to move, so protective of my sore areas, that I had stopped exerting myself and was always cautious to protect my surgical sites. I am also benefitting emotionally and socially from the Protrim family. It’s really nice to have a new group of people who look out for each other and who motivate each other on a daily basis. It’s good for my heart and my brain.
Thank you Kurt for continuing to push me and for greeting me with a smile every day.
