Get Strong & Healthy with Parkin fitness

No crowds. No distractions. Just training built around you.

HOW WE BUILD YOUR PERSONALIZED WORKOUT PLAN

Free Consultation

A relaxed but purposeful conversation where we dive into your goals, training history, injuries, and lifestyle. This ensures your training is built intelligently around you and not generic workouts or guesswork.

The Assessment

A detailed movement, posture, and strength assessment to identify undertrained muscles, postural imbalances, and faulty movement patterns. We assess common pain areas such as the shoulders, hips, knees, and lower back to understand why discomfort exists, not just where it hurts.

The Plan

A science-based, fully personalized training plan designed from your assessment findings. Programming will target muscle imbalances, restore proper movement, and build strength safely. Most importantly, exercises are selected not only for effectiveness, but also based on what you enjoy. As long as they appropriately target the muscles identified in your assessment. This keeps training engaging, sustainable, and something you actually look forward to.

The Results

Improved strength, better posture, reduced pain, and greater confidence in how you move and live your life. Training is designed for long-term sustainability, helping you stay strong, resilient, active and healthy.

Start training with intention

When I was 17 I made the decision to join the army reserves and at a similar point I also started working out with Craig. I told him about my goal and he said we would work out towards it. I'm now on my 3rd week of BMQ and I can definitely say I don't know if I could've done it without my training. Craig has helped me alot and knows exactly how to push you forwards. I highly recommend working with him. I've lost a lot of weight and gained a lot of muscle, both things that have really helped me. I've noticed improvements in my sleep and am more aware. Craig is the best!

I've been training with Craig at ParkIN Fitness since June of 2024. We first met at Victoria Park Valley during a golf game, being randomly pared together. I really wanted to focus on getting greater distance on my driver and long distance irons, but was struggling to motivate myself to go to the gym. Once I found out he was a personal trainer that trains clients privately in Guelph, and lived close to me, it was the perfect coincidence for me to get started. Since then, I've gained tons of strength, and my driver and long distance irons are hitting 30 - 50 yards longer. Training with Craig was one of the best investments I've made and I wish I met him sooner. If you're looking for a personal trainer in Guelph that's experienced as well as friendly then Craig at ParkIN Fitness is your guy!

5 stars isn’t enough for Craig!!!! I’ve been training with Craig at ParkIN Fitness in Guelph for about 5–6 months, and I can confidently say he’s exceeded my expectations. I started out pretty skinny and wanted to build basic strength, improve overall fitness, add some muscle, and learn proper form on compound lifts. Craig is incredibly knowledgeable about lifting technique, programming, nutrition, and sustainable progress. He’s also very detail oriented with form, which has made a big difference for my confidence and for staying injury free. The results have been real and measurable. I began squatting with an empty bar, and now I can comfortably squat my bodyweight, while also putting on noticeable muscle during the process. Most importantly, Craig helped me genuinely fall in love with strength training, and I’m excited to keep training long term. If you’re looking for a trainer who knows what they’re doing and truly cares about your progress, I highly recommend Craig.

My two teenage boys and I have been working with Craig for the better part of a year. Craig is very knowledgeable and is able to work with each of us to accomplish our different goals. He makes modifications to suit various physical limitations. We have all benefited from his expertise and all are building muscle to our satisfaction. He makes the workouts enjoyable, is very encouraging, and is a lovely person to work with. I highly recommend Craig's services.

I am 50 years old and had worked out in the gym on my own for 2 years before finding Craig. I had chronic shoulder and sciatica issues for 10 plus years. Training with Craig has almost eliminated my pain, while gaining strength, losing pounds and inches and increasing flexibility. I would highly recommend Craig.

I am a 78 year old senior living on my own in Guelph. I have been with Craig Parkin since the summer of 2024. In that short period of time, working with him twice a week, I have greatly improved in muscle strength, flexibility, endurance and functional movement. I have gained much self confidence, stamina and reversal of aging posture and stiffness. Craig's approach is methodical and scientific, doled out with care and kindness. He shows a very high level of devotion to his profession and had unique instruments and methodology geared to a slow but steady increase of physical self-confidence. I can recommended him to anyone wishing to change their body image and reverse the aging process. Feeling great and confident is a wise investment in your health at any age. Bravo, Craig. Well done!

I have had Craig as a personal trainer for the last 3 years. Craig is very knowledgable and builds program to each individual persons needs to reach their goals. He is very flexible with workout times which makes it really easy when you have crazy schedules and unpredictable work times. Craig makes every workout fun and rewarding. We laugh hard but work out harder. If you are looking for a trainer who genuinely cares about your needs and goals Craig is the trainer. I have worked with many trainers and working with Craig has been rewarding and by far the most fun I have ever had working out.

I had the pleasure of working with Craig for four years at the University of Guelph’s gym, and I can confidently say he’s one of the most knowledgeable and dedicated personal trainers I've ever met. Craig was great at teaching beginners how to use proper form and helped more experienced clients with complex lifts. His passion for health and fitness is infectious and he has a unique talent for motivating and pushing people to achieve their best. I would highly recommend Craig if you’re looking for a personal trainer. He’s patient, attentive, and always takes the time to ensure that his clients are performing exercises correctly and safely. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced athlete, Craig’s approach is tailored to your individual needs, helping you set and exceed your fitness goals.

My overall experience at ParkIN Fitness was really positive! Craig is a super nice guy who is deeply knowledgeable at what he does. He was very accommodating in finding session times that worked best for the both of us. If I was running late and he had availability afterwards he would usually extent our session so that I could get in a full work out. Craig taught me new techniques and improved the ones I already had. In the two months that I trained with him I gained 10 pounds of muscle, growing my shoulders 10cm. Highly recommend ParkIN fitness and Craig as a trainer! And I hope to return to training with him in the fall once I’m back for school.
