About Philippe Marsan,Personal Trainer Specializing in 50+ Fitness in Toronto
Hi, I’m Philippe — a certified personal trainer, yoga teacher, and healthy eating coach with over 13 years of experience helping people move better, feel better, and age with strength and confidence.
Whether you're returning to fitness after a break, managing stress, or simply looking to feel stronger and more capable in daily life, I offer personalized support that meets you where you are. I’ve worked with a wide range of clients — from seniors and beginners to athletes and people facing mental health challenges — always with a focus on safety, simplicity, and sustainability.
My Approach:
I believe fitness should feel good. That means:
Workouts that support your lifestyle, not punish it.
A pace that respects your body and progresses with you.
Realistic, habit-based nutrition guidance, no fad diets or pressure.
A calm, supportive environment, whether we’re doing strength training, gentle yoga, or mobility work.
If you're in midlife or beyond, it’s never too late to build strength, flexibility, and energy. Let's make fitness a positive part of your week — something you enjoy and look forward to.
