Alistair Hopper - Owner & Personal trainer Winnipeg

I first started working in gyms while I was finishing my university degree, and I landed my first personal training job in January of 2003. More than two decades later, that same passion for helping people get stronger and healthier still drives me every single day.

Over the years I have been fortunate enough to work with clients of all fitness levels and backgrounds, including young adults, fitness competitors, people with special needs, the elderly, and busy young professionals. That range of experience has taught me that there is no single approach that works for everyone. As a personal trainer in Winnipeg, I take the time to understand each person’s goals, abilities, and lifestyle, then build a program that fits them rather than forcing them to fit the program.

Owning and operating my own gym combines my love of people with my love of staying active. I play squash, basketball, and football in the summer, and I snowboard and cross-country ski in the winter. Staying active in so many different ways keeps me grounded in what I teach, because I know firsthand how good it feels to move, compete, and challenge your body.

Some of the best times of my life have been spent coaching amateur football. There is no greater joy than working with all kinds of athletes, young and old, and helping them achieve their goals. That same spirit carries into my work as a personal trainer in Winnipeg, where every client’s success feels like a shared victory.

All of these people have proven to me that a combination of weight resistance training and cardiovascular activity, paired with proper nutrition, will help all of us live long, healthy lives. If you are ready to start that journey, I would be glad to guide you every step of the way and help you become the strongest, healthiest version of yourself.
