Having administered over 20,000 workouts in his 15 years as a professional trainer, Barltrop has become one of the most experienced trainers in the health and fitness industry.
Â
A graduate of Queen’s University, his degrees in both Physical and Health Education along with Mathematics, have laid the groundwork for his comprehensive understanding of body biomechanics and his ability to develop highly effective, innovative workout programs.
Â
Certified as a Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS), Barltrop’s constant search for higher education has lead him to take courses from gross anatomy to muscle activation techniques.
Â
Barltrop attempts to draw information from as many sources as possible, knowing that a true understanding of the human body requires knowledge from a vast number of disciplines.
Â
Barltrop’s beliefs are different than most, choosing to allow logic and science to take the place of weights. He trains his clients with the intention of having them learn to be able to control their own bodyweight in a variety of situations.
Â
With the help of a few workout toys, such as bands, the TRX and medicine balls, Barltrop teaches his clients that the human body itself is the most challenging and rewarding piece of exercise equipment available.
