Arshia has been the reason I have built what I have in my powerlifting and fitness journey. Not only have I placed on the podium multiple times and achieved a provincial record; through Arshia’s comprehensive and challenging programmming I was able to progress physically, and mentally. I would recommend this programming to anyone looking to grow in every aspect!

As a dedicated powerlifter under Coach Arshia’s guidance, my journey has been transformative, elevating both my physical strength and mental fortitude. His expertise in biomechanics, nutrition, and program design has pushed my limits beyond expectations. What sets Coach Arshia apart is not just his knowledge but also his unwavering commitment. He tailors programs to individual strengths, weaknesses, and goals, considering lifestyle for overall well-being. Beyond the gym, Coach Arshia builds a supportive community, fostering camaraderie. This team spirit, instilled by him, has been crucial in my growth as a powerlifter and individual.

I have been working with Arshia for a year now and competed in three powerlifting meets. He takes the time to understand my strengths, weaknesses, and goals. Under his guidance, I have not just improved my form and technique but I have also added almost 100 kg to my total and even set a provincial squat record for my age and weight category. His coaching style is a balance of pushing me to my limits and ensuring I train smart to prevent injuries. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced lifter, he can tailor your program to your level and ensure that you have the support that you need for your training.

Arshia and I have been working closely together for around 5 years. Over that time my lifting technique and mentality for difficult sessions has vastly improved. Since working with Arshia, I have been resilient to achieving my goals. Arshia has worked with me to try and optimize my sessions as I also work a labour intensive job. Arshia’s weekly updates provide me with knowledgeable information to continue pain free training.

From 2019 to 2024, Coach Arshia played a pivotal role in my powerlifting journey. Starting as a local competitor, his guidance led me to victory at Canadian nationals and secured my spot at my first international meet. Under his coaching, I witnessed continuous improvements in technique and substantial gains across all three lifts. I enthusiastically recommend Coach Arshia to those beginning their powerlifting journey or seeking advice for technique enhancement and strength development.

Before working with a powerlifting coach for the first time, I felt stuck in my training, unsure of the next step. Transitioning to Arshia as my coach was an easy decision, as he had been my go-to game day coach, guiding me through almost every competition. With Arshia’s experience, knowledge, and passion for the sport, signing up for powerlifting coaching made perfect sense. Over the last 5 years, we’ve achieved significant progress in my technique and strength across all three lifts, thanks to Arshia’s expert feedback and consistent programming. As I expressed interest in equipped powerlifting, Arshia’s expertise, patience, and adaptability played a crucial role in making the transition seamless. I’m excited about our future collaboration and the progress ahead.
