About Us

Home - About Us

Bang Fitness is not your average gym. Average gyms get average results. The very fact that you’re reading this suggests that you want more than that.

Membership at Bang Fitness includes everything you need to reach your goals. We guarantee results. How many other gyms will do that?

Bang Fitness is focused on what works. We take the best of old-school training and combine it with a progressive approach to function and injury-prevention.

Perhaps you’re an athlete. Perhaps you’ve never run further than the front yard. Everyone has a different starting point. Our goal is to find yours and move you forward as safely and efficiently as possible. We’re a lot more concerned with where you’ll be in six months than where you’ll be next week. To that end, we offer smart, progressive programs that have proven themselves effective time and time again.

We offer:

Personal Training
Group conditioning classes
Semi-private training
Nutritional counseling
Dedication to getting you results

We believe that there is more to the gym than just the gym. At the end of the day, we want to ensure that you not only achieve your goals, but gain the strength to accomplish more (way more) than you ever expected. Looking better naked just comes with the territory.

Meet The Team

Geoff: Owner/Head Strength and Conditioning Coach

As the owner and director of Bang Fitness, Geoff is proud to offer an outstanding training environment for people in all stages of the performance continuum.

He has never considered the gym to be an end unto itself. He sees it as an opportunity to improve performance and reduce the likelihood of injury. According to Geoff, “Training for performance will not only teach you to find your limits, but redefine them.”

Geoff was initially drawn toward strength training to improve his own athletic performance. He not only wanted to get better at what he was doing, but to ensure that he was able to remain injury-free.

His continuing education includes certifications from the American College of Sports Medicine, Precision Nutrition and Functional Movement Systems. He has also mentored under some of the brightest members of the industry, such as Mike Boyle, Alwyn Cosgrove and the Athlete’s Performance team. He is the official strength and conditioning coach for the MECHA MMA fight team.

Geoff has contributed articles to websites such as StrengthCoach.com and T-Nation.com, PrecisionNutrition.com and overseen the programming for thousands of individuals, most notably through Precision Nutrition’s Lean Eating program.

He is excited to direct a facility where people push pass their perceived limits every day. This is largely owed to a great team and a fun, inclusive environment.

The entire Bang Fitness Team looks forward to continuing to innovate in the area of strength and conditioning.

Andy: Strength and Conditioning Coach

Andy’s life has been divided between fitness and medical complications. He began learning about healing at a young man and, at the ripe old age of 20, fell in love with the martial arts. As past injuries surfaced, though, Andy shifted his focus toward helping other martial artists reach their full potential. This process culminated in Andy’s decision to become an exercise professional.

Andy has a Fitness and Health diploma from Niagara College, and is certified by the Canadian Society for Exercise Professionals (C.S.E.P) as a Personal Trainer. Andy is presently completing study at Sutherland-Chan to become a registered massage therapist to further his knowledge of the human body and to have more of an impact on the quality of his clients’ lives. Andy is also certified In the Functional Movement Screen (F.M.S), and with the International Youth Conditioning Association (I.Y.C.A). Andy believes in and has seen the power of continuing education to keep him on the cutting edge of the fitness field.

Today, Andy trains mostly armchair warriors and has a special interest in countering the effects of our modern chair-oriented lifestyle.

Andy’s guiding philosophy is that all exercise be performed with precision. “It does not matter how much weight you can lift it matters how much weight you can lift with perfect technique.”

Andy looks forward to helping you with your journey.

Steve: Strength and Conditioning Coach

Steve first started training in his basement as a teenager, haphazardly following programmes in magazines in an attempt to potentiate his ability on the football field. However, it was not until he entered university, as a member of the Queen’s University football team, that he began to see a direct relationship between exercise, its proper implementation, and performance.

Steve has been working as a personal trainer since 2002 and through this experience has developed and honed his philosophy regarding strength training and conditioning. With experience in powerlifting, Olympic lifts, structural stability and strength conditioning Steve has the ability to develop programmes which cater to the full range of populations, benefiting anyone from competitive athletes to those interested in maintaining general health.

Additional certifications:

Kettlebell Trainer Specialist – Level 1 & 2
SPI (Sports Performance Institute) – Personal Trainer 1
SPI – Nutrition
Twist Accelerate 1
Coremat Certification

Albert: Strength and Conditioning Coach

Albert Cheng is a trainer who is passionate towards life, health and sports. A graduate of Queen’s University in Physical and Health Education (B.P.H.E.)and Health Studies (B.A.), Albert studied human functional anatomy, exercise physiology, biomechanics, sports psychology, nutrition, and also received coaching experience in many different sports. He has coached, instructed and trained elite athletes in wrestling, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, baseball, soccer, rugby and hockey.

In addition to his educational and instructional background, Albert is also an active competitor in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and MMA.

Through years of training and competition, he has become exposed to many different approaches that are now implemented into his workouts. However, as a life-long learner, Albert is still always on the lookout for the newest and most scientific training methodologies in helping individuals achieve their goals.

Ron: Strength and Conditioning Coach

Ron loves strength athletics. As a young man he competed in shotput and discus, but today he’s fan of power lifting, and doesn’t care about federations or gear, he digs strongman events, and loves and has competed in the Olympic lifts, but doesn’t want to be all snobby about it, because it is all weight lifting, OK?

As an adult Ron has deliberately weighed as little as 175lbs and as much as 260lbs, and competed in both the 94 kg and the 100kg weight categories. The multiple transformations he has undergone have given him a unique perspective on the trials and tribulations of the average trainee who has “tried everything”.

While strength is his passion, his focus today is helping others achieve their body goals. Whether it is increased strength, improved conditioning or a smaller waist measurement, for Ron, the goal is always the same: taking what we have to start with, and then doing better with it.

If health, strength, low body fat, and improved mental focus sound good, then Ron may be the trainer for you.
