About Marta Blaze:

First and foremost, I have a passion for transforming the lives of my clients, physically and mentally. I am committed to the success and vitality of my clients and I proudly call my clients friends and even family.

For 20 years I have worked with clients in Pilates focusing primarily on rehab, postural realignment, injuries, pre and post natal as well as sports specific training. Pilates transformed my life and many of my clients have been working with me for over 10 years.

I fell in love with Crossfit in the early spring of 2007 and by October of 2007, I was certified as a Level 1 trainer.  I have been working out from an early age but nothing kicked my butt like Crossfit.  I received my Level 2 trainer certificate 7 years ago.

I am also trained in rehab exercises that address a broad range of physical challenges.I am able to customize a client’s workout to address particular weaknesses, conditions, postural problems or injuries (shoulder problems, neck and shoulder tension, hip, knee and ankle issues, back care, fibromyalgia, arthritis, pre natal and post natal.)

 I love what I do, I love that I am able to help people feel better, be stronger, and feel like they are getting so much more than just a workout.  I feel blessed to be where I am; loving life and having a blast!

FUN Marta trivia:

I was born in Poland and lived in Casablanca for 4 years before moving to Toronto. I also lived in France and on a sailboat in the Caribbean.

I have been a gym rat since I was 14 - first membership was at Super Fitness! I would do their 7 am aerobic classes before school.  Leotards ruled!

I only learned how to drive in 2004 - I rode my Bike everywhere before that. and I mean Everywhere!  Pickering to Yonge and Eglinton was totally normal for me, when I taught at Stott Pilates.

Books, Bookstores and libraries are my favourite! I try to read at least 25 books year. My favourite book when I was 10 years old was Anne of Green Gables.

I love to cook.  A lot.  I may have a slight addiction to cookbooks... but only slight :)

I love to grow my own vegetables and have a huge Heirloom vegetable garden.

I love arts and crafts - everything from Crochet, painting, polymer clay.

I have 2 dogs and 7 alpacas. Love having animals in our lives!

I get completely and insanely happy when our members, especially the ones who have never before worked out, do something they never thought was possible.... talk about job satisfaction!
