Benefits
MENTAL HEALTH weight training has been proven by research to alleviate anxiety, depression, and mood swings by balancing hormones, as well as improve overall well-being by helping to develop a healthier body image
STRONG BONES resistance training using weights increases bone mineral density, which is so important as it naturally diminishes with age. Stronger bones and joints mean a lower risk of osteoarthritis and fractures
POST NATAL new moms can turn to the gym for the most effective means of restoring their pre-baby physique. Using safe yet challenging exercises builds lean muscle to boost energy levels and tighten up the torso and hips
BECOME SUPERHUMAN not only does training burn fat for a strong, lean physique, other metrics like speed, power, agility, explosiveness, and reflexes also level up. Laborious tasks like moving become a breeze!
QUALITY OF LIFE making the gym a weekly priority has been shown to improve sleep quality, as well as decision-making, memory, and cognitive function. Our brains become sharper as a result of the higher blood flow
ANTI-AGING it’s no wonder that people who regular work out tend to look younger than their peers. We see this in our clients all the time! Training illicits cellular renewal and improves bodily function for radiant health
our toolbox
bodybuilding/SCULPTING
We use advanced techniques like rest-pauses, pyramids, dropsets, and supersets to help our clients build an aesthetic physique that they love
HIIT + CIRCUIT TRAINING
We accelerate your results by using high-intensity intervals and circuits, which strengthens all muscle groups while improving aerobic capacity
BODY-POSITIVE
As one of our key values is inclusivity, we love working with all shapes and sizes no matter the starting point. We support everyone on their journey!
full-body FUNCTIONAL
As the body operates as a whole, we use total-body compounds for greater coordination and power so play, travel, and hobbies are more enjoyable
ENDURANCE
Muscle is great, but a healthy heart and lungs are important too! We add stamina training to boost your cardio for other fun physical activities
POWER + LONGEVITY
As we naturally lose bone density over time, it’s important to train for strong muscles, joints, bones, and other tissues to maintain high quality of life
FLEXIBILITY + MOBILITY
Since modern lifestyles are inactive, our bodies lose elasticity. We apply stretching, joint mobility, and full-ROM techniques to avoid stiffness and pain
PLYOMETRICS + ATHLETICS
We love incorporating plyometrics, or jump training, into our programs to build explosive speed and athleticism. Jump sets are fantastic for fat loss
NUTRITION OPTIMIZATION
Of course a healthy body must be fuelled properly! We provide useful, realistic nutritional guidance and meal planning tips to optimize your food
PAIN ALLEVIATION
Training helps improve conditions like low back pain and tight hips, as well as lower anxiety, depression, and the chances of developing lifestyle diseases
FAT + WEIGHT LOSS
Excess fatty tissue can be a source of discomfort and self-consciousness. If building muscle and shedding fat is your goal, our hybrid training will help
POSTURAL REALIGNMENT
If you sit all day, chances are your back is hunched and neck stiff. We specialize in back and core strengthening to achieve confident, pain-free posture
My main goal was to lose the pregnancy weight and strengthen the core and back muscles. After seeing her for 10 months, I’m finally back to my pre-pregnancy weight and have gone from seeing my physio once a week to once every three months! I’ve also seen significant improvement in my posture and also more energy to run after my little one! MAGGIE
I have gone from being nervous to looking forward to working out. I was in a car accident 1.5 years ago that left me with chronic lower back pain. After only a few weeks of working out with Maria my back started to feel so much better and it is still improving. I am excited about my physical potential for the first time ever and owe it all to Maria. BRIAN
Initially I had doubts if seeing a personal trainer would help me achieve my goals but Maria has proven me wrong. I’m seeing gains and fat loss in just four weeks. Maria has also helped me strengthen my lower back where I’ve had chronic pains the last eight years. TONY
I came to Tribe after researching lots of trainers in the area. Her encouragement and “can do” attitude really makes all the difference. She corrects form, modifies plans, modifies workouts right there on the spot! Passion like this is rare and I am grateful that I get to train with her so often. RABIA

what’s so special about us?
Tribe Fitness is a team of dedicated fitness trainers in Richmond that’s helped hundreds of clients become healthier, happier and more confident after starting their fitness routine with us. We’ve been providing a safe and supportive space for our community to learn proper fitness training, become stronger, and transform their physiques since 2014.
FEMALE FRIENDLY
Like many industries, personal training is quite male-dominated. This can result in female clients not being understood or receiving the understanding, listening ear, and judgment-free support they need.
Truth is, women experience unique hormone-induced fluctuations and rhythms because we also follow an infradian (or monthly) rhythm. This cycle affects our mood, training ability, and how we move through the world.
We’re proud to say that we leverage more “masculine” training techniques to sculpt lean physiques and build useful strength and power — while honouring the feminine experience and the fact that women have different biologies and are not just “little men”.
We help our clients transform and achieve their goals while respecting their journey, lived experience, and unique needs and situations.
