Mount Fitness Centre Personal Training
– Halifax’s hidden gem!

Most of us need encouragement and accountability to achieve our goals.  A personal trainer is the expert you need to not only reach goals safely, but also succeed in ways you never thought possible!

If you are looking for motivation, knowledge, a fun way to challenge yourself or new ideas for improving overall wellness, come in and meet our experienced Trainers today. They are ready and able to help you become the best YOU possible!

Get rolling with an introductory training session, the 3-session Starter Package, or commit to your own long-term health with 5 or 10 sessions packages (ask for more info on larger packages).  With options for one-on-one or small group training we will find a way to help you reach your goals!

Awesome value. See the results. Feel the difference!

Here’s what a former client had to say about their Trainer at the Mount:

“I see my Trainer every week and the progress I’ve made from earlier this year has been amazing. Each week she has been increasing things and making it more and more challenging – all while being encouraging, positive and fun.”

Call us at 902-457-6420 to discover which trainer suits you and arrange an “introductory call” before investing in your future!  For further inquiries, email our Fitness and Wellness Coordinator, Melissa Millar.
