My name is Daniel Glazer and I have had the pleasure to start as a fitness coach this year.    Being overweight most of my life, I found a passion in exercise and helping people achieve their own personal fitness goals.   After losing over 85 pounds in 10 months, I felt the desire to help others feel the confidence in themselves that I have achieved.  Assisting others to lose body fat, gain muscle, and find the confidence in themselves is what I have chosen to do as a career as my own accomplishments have turned into a personal passion to coach others.  

I am passionate about all things Fitness. I am dedicated to my own health and well-being and apply this In every aspect of mine and my families lives. We make movement and nutrition a priority. I’m dedicated to helping others become their best selves. Leading by example. Mentoring with knowledge, compassion, kindness. I’m driven by positive energy and focussed goals. I am adventurous, always willing to try something new and learning new things. Open minded, focused, and motivated.

My approach to PT is rooted in functional fitness—to build strength, increase mobility, and boost confidence. I help clients achieve their goals and develop a drive to pursue new ones. Before AF, I worked as a writer and editor helping people tell their stories. I wanted to integrate movement and wellness into those stories. I completed 2 years in the Health, Wellness, and Fitness program at Mohawk College, studying nutrition, anatomy, biomechanics, exercise physiology, resistance training, program design, injury management, and more. I bring experience training older adults with osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, working with spinal cord injuries and multiple sclerosis to maintain mobility, flexibility, and strength. Work with me to discover new challenges and reach your goals!

After successfully navigating my own weight loss journey, I discovered a deep passion for helping others achieve their fitness goals. My personal transformation not only changed my life but also inspired those around me. Seeing their enthusiasm and trust, I decided to pursue professional training to extend my support and expertise. As a Certified Personal Trainer and Nutritionist, I’m committed to empowering you through personalized fitness plans and unwavering encouragement. Let’s work together to transform your goals into achievements and create a healthier, happier you!

I grew up immersed in sports like hockey and rugby, loving the energy and challenge. When that ended, I felt lost—until I discovered the gym. Strength training and powerlifting gave me a new purpose, helping me stay strong both physically and mentally. That passion led me to place in the top 10 at the 2025 Canadian National Powerlifting Championship. Now, as a personal trainer and national-level athlete, I love assisting others in discovering the joy of fitness and getting to a healthier place, exactly as I did myself.
