ABOUT
HOW IT STARTED
Ad Iron Fitness is an independent personal training business founded by personal trainer Adam Canales, also known as Ad Iron. A strong passion for weightlifting grew in Ad Iron in his teenage years. As a naturally skinny kid, he felt small and insignificant. His desire to feel attractive and comfortable in his skin was intense, so he hired a trainer at 19 and started his fitness journey. After years of being consistent in the gym, he began seeing tangible results. His weight climbed with significant muscle gain. The compliments started coming, and he noticed people began treating him with more respect. This fuelled his passion even more, and he decided to become a fitness trainer after moving to Canada in his early 20s.
VISION
At Ad Iron Fitness we are passionate about making exercise fun, challenging and, most importantly, sustainable. Our exercise programs are carefully individualized to each person and focus on your goals while also improving your overall functionality. Our certified personal trainers are trained in a multitude of fitness styles with a focus on Aesthetics, Kinetics and Performance. Our mission is to support our clients holistically by combining a fully rounded fitness program with access to your program online and ongoing nutritional guidance to guarantee success.
VALUES
Ad Iron and his team value hard work and consistency. He has experienced that results are only achieved when a certain work ethic is applied. But it's not all serious. His team works with their clients in a fun and motivating atmosphere. Clients training alongside each other feel a sense of belonging and community, especially those in the LGBTQ+ community. His goal is that his team must provide that safe space for inclusivity—for everyone to achieve results in a positive atmosphere regardless of who they are and what they do.
