My mission is to help people feel confident, capable, and supported throughout their fitness journey, no matter where they are starting.
Sophia is a warm, community-focused coach who is passionate about creating a supportive and inclusive space where people feel comfortable showing up as they are. She believes fitness should feel approachable, encouraging, and something you can grow into — not something you have to be good at to start.
Her journey with fitness began through sport, playing competitive water polo and later coaching competitive swimming. Those experiences shaped her appreciation for movement, discipline, and the powerful impact physical activity can have on both confidence and mental health.
After some time away from structured training, Sophia found her way back through True Conditioning as a member. What started as a way to rebuild strength quickly became something much more. She fell in love with the process, the challenge, and especially the sense of community that made showing up feel exciting and sustainable. That experience is what inspired her to become a trainer.
As a coach, Sophia focuses on helping people — especially beginners — build confidence at their own pace. Clients can expect a welcoming and positive environment where effort is celebrated and progress looks different for everyone. Her goal is simple: she wants people to feel stronger, more confident, and genuinely good about showing up for themselves.

To help people get genuinely strong — the kind of strong that makes everyday life easier.
What started as a skinny teenager trying to put on size turned into more than 13 years in the gym. Josh found his footing first as a competitive natural bodybuilder and lifelong athlete, and later as a certified personal trainer with over seven years of hands-on experience. He earned his stripes on the stage, including a competition win, all of it achieved naturally with no shortcuts. But the trophies were never the point — what he’s always loved most is helping the person next to him fix their form, get a little stronger, and walk out feeling better than they walked in.
That’s the trainer he is today. Josh knows the gym can feel intimidating, especially if you’re starting later in life or coming back after time away, so his whole approach is built around making it the opposite of that. Expect patient coaching, real attention to doing things safely, and zero ego. Whether you’re after strength, better mobility, or just the confidence to move through your day without thinking twice, he’ll meet you exactly where you are and build from there.
Outside the gym, Josh is a full-time realtor here in Richmond, which means he spends his days getting to know people and the community he calls home. He’s a connector by nature — equally happy talking through your training goals or your favourite spot for coffee — and that same down-to-earth, people-first energy is what you’ll get every time you train with him.

I help people feel like they have unlocked their inner superhero, focussing on strength and sculpting the body all while having fun.
No perm necessary. Inspired from a young age, Armando has lead his life in search of looking like a superhero from the cartoons, comics and wrestling shows he used to watch as a child. He has tried many forms of exercise before such as martial arts, soccer, and a brief stint in dance which he will not go in to – the ones that stuck were running and bodybuilding. Helped at first from age 9 by his father who was a former bodybuilder and wrestler himself, Armando had gotten the superhero shape and size – as well as worked his way into the thousand pound club before his mid twenties. Twenty-three inch arms, a particularly fond notch on his belt.
Unfortunately, being taught by a classic bodybuilder lead to a classic mindset, leading to classic injuries. Those coupled with a traumatic work injury, sent his fitness career and lifestyle back down to zero. Since then, he has learned the balance of rest and relaxation – as well as a healthy and injury preventative mindset in the gym. Since the gym has always been a part of his life, he has always been helping and offering advice to gym-goers both new and experienced. So when a handful of former gym-partners he taught became personal trainers, he then followed suit and acquired his ACE certification. Now officially paid to have fun and teach others aspiring to be better versions of themselves! If requested, he can list all of the injuries from top to bottom or inside-out.
When he is not in the gym, Armando enjoys getting his nerd on by reading comic books or playing video games – as well as Directing and Producing his own indie-films.
