I am an 84 year old retiree. My wife and I live on a farm in Clearview Township with lots of work and fun things to do, but it does take a tole on the body.  Until Sofie Caap became my trainer a few years ago I didn’t know what a “glute” was but I sure do now…Sofie works on both body and soul, she has a wonderful sense of humour and gives great hugs when not social distancing . I lead a very active lifestyle, volunteering in our community, physical work on the farm and lots of fun with tennis, biking, hiking,snow shoeing, back country skiing, in the past all this activity has caused me some pain, with Sofie’s skills I can now do my activities with very little soreness, regular weekly training with Sofie is the answer and it is fun.

My husband and I are Triathletes that started this sport in our fifties (we are now 69, 70 years young) A few years ago I found Sofie and I am thrilled at her approach. Even with some cranky body parts Sophie finds way to accommodate those problem areas and strengthen the supporting musculature. Five years ago it looked like I was heading towards shoulder surgery but with her program my shoulder has stabilized.  Having seen me have so much success, Jim started working with Sofie as well and in fairly short time has seen noticeable improvement in both his body structure and performance running and on the bike.  Sofie is dedicated to her clients always researching new ways to address each of our issues and creative and enthusiastic in her approach. She celebrates our successes and has helped us build a foundation of fitness that will carry us forward into our 8th and hopefully 9th decade.

I spent the first seven years of my working life in the fitness industry and fitness has continued to play a critical role in my life.  I have had at least five different trainers over the years and it was only when I started working with Sofie three years ago that she made me realize my approach towards fitness and well being lacked balance.   Sofie instilled in me a different outlook and perspective that allowed me to approach my workouts with a calmer mind which has resulted in my body feeling stronger and more capable. Sofie’s knowledge, experience, patience and kindness places her in a league of her own.  I am forever grateful that I found Sofie.

I decided to work with Sofie to get my strength and fitness levels back. I was hesitant to go back to working out on my own, as a shoulder impingement was making things difficult and painful. Sofie connected me with her network of health professionals to take care of my shoulder and give her the information she required to develop a custom plan for me and my shoulder injuries. Sofie's expertise in the mechanics of the body had me working out without pain and helped me strengthen the muscles necessary to support my shoulder properly. I can now work out comfortably without experiencing pain during or after our sessions. My workouts with Sofie and on my own are 120% more effective now that she has taught me the proper movements and form for my body.

Sofie is the most enthusiastic, knowledgeable and motivating trainer I have ever met. Not only does she customize workouts to my goals, she also consistently challenges me and pushes me to not give up and out of my comfort zone for exercises I would typically avoid. I look forward to each of my sessions with Sofie and appreciate her attention to detail and guidance on maintaining proper form to get the most out of each workout. Sofie’s dedication and commitment to helping her clients succeed is truly unmatched

It is rare that I write a review, much less a testimonial or endorsement about a service or experience.  I am writing this because working with Sofie Caap over the past year has been more than noteworthy and exceeded all my expectations. 

I have worked with trainers in the past, all were knowledgeable, accredited and usually wanting to work with, or have a preferred segment they gravitate to (age, high performance athletes, etc.).  Sofie has a range of clients encompassing all the above, I fall into the “later in life category” with a list of lingering past injuries.  Sofie’s knowledge and personality is motivating and encouraging.  Each session with Sofie is unique and therefor fun. I have never viewed training as “fun” before! 

Why is my experience with Sofie different than past trainers?  Sofie is a professional, this is her career.  She clearly takes pride and shares in the outcomes and successes with her clients.   I have worked with proficient trainers in the past, Sofie invests time outside of the in-person session researching and preparing for the next session making it interesting and challenging while being lighthearted.  The time and care a professional like Sofie invests in her clients behind the scenes are some of the things she does to achieve a great experience.  This level of care and professionalism exceeded my expectations. 

Sofie is a true professional and exceptional at what she does.  I am very fortunate to be able to work with her.

I have been working with Sofie for the majority of the past 3 years. When I started training with her I hadn't been consistent with my personal fitness in years. She was accepting of my current fitness level and willing to work with me from the ground up so to speak. Roughly 8 months later I had lost 45lbs and was in the best shape of my life. She is extremely knowledgeable and organized on what workouts will help you achieve your goals. Sofie has an amazing personality and a strong desire to help you improve yourself.

It is not an exaggeration when I say that I would not be at my current fitness level had I not met Sofie."

Six months ago, I was in a fitness rut, so I decided to work with Sofie, my first time ever working 1:1 with a personal trainer.  We started by taking measurements and setting up realistic goals and individual strategies on how we hoped to achieve them. Over the past 6 months, Sofie has provided me the perfect balance of motivation, enthusiasm, drive and most importantly (for me) accountability! I’m happy to say that with Sofie’s help, I have gradually lost 15 lbs. and 15.5” overall. I also feel physically and mentally stronger than I have in years! 

 As a healthcare professional myself, I feel confident to refer my patients, colleagues, and friends to Sofie for 1:1 personal training. She is extremely conscientious about exercise form and if there is an injury, she is keen to communicate with your healthcare provider to ensure everyone is on the same page and you can continue with your exercise program. Her training facility is extremely clean and has everything you need for a kick butt workout! 

 Thank you Sofie for pushing me hard every week. You are the BEST!
