Sweatylift Gym

I would recommend Deon as a personal trainer. Deon is approachable, personable, knowledgeable, and has experience training from the top level athlete to those new to lifting (me). Deon’s attention to correct form and gradual increases have made me feel safe to lift heavier and challenge my body more than I thought I would be able to, and he probably gets more stoked than I when I hit a PR! Thanks for the enthusiasm! The gym itself is also very clean and well equipped.

I can't recommend Sweatylift Gym enough!
Deon is the most professional trainer that I have ever had the pleasure of working with. He builds highly efficient and enjoyable programs. The workouts are tough, but I look forward to each and every one and feel fantastic during and after them. I've made faster progression in both strength and physique than I thought possible. I have no more lower back pain from to my mild scoliosis, and my confidence levels have drastically improved.
Aside from being the best trainer, Deon is also a wonderful, funny and charming family man. He made me feel right at home as soon as I joined his gym.
If you're looking for the top trainer, look no further!

Deon is awesome, I can’t say enough great things about the beautiful gym space and his approach to weightlifting. My son and I came with zero weightlifting experience and have made great progress after just a few months. He’s knowledgeable, down to earth and a great motivator. As a single mom I really appreciate the flexibility Deon offers when scheduling and the option to double up so my son and I can workout together. Even though we’re there to push ourselves and build strength it’s always an enjoyable and fun atmosphere. We’ll continue to keep the Sweatylift Gym and Deon in our weekly routine.

I received a written program from Deon as I don't live in the area. He was thorough in discussing with me what my goals were, checked and corrected form over zoom, and provided me with a program. I started the program feeling confident after my discussions with him and have made great progress over the past 3 months. He is extremely knowledgeable and quick to respond and provide feedback to videos, and provide alternative options if I'm having issues with a certain exercise. Can't wait to try out the gym next time I'm in Vancouver!

Best kept secret in Seymour neighbourhood. The Sweaty Lift facility is full of high quality equipment in a purpose-built environment perfectly set among towering North Shore trees. Deon combines deep knowledge with experience, enthusiasm and a friendly, efficient approach to getting really good training sessions in. Highly recommended.
