Taking a science-based, data-driven approach, the team starts with an assessment to get a holistic view of who you are, your goals, and your lifestyle — then builds a custom plan. In 20 weeks I lost 20 lbs, manage stress better, sleep better, and have much better energy.

About Antonio
Twenty years of reps. A thousand programs. One standard.
Antonio brings over 20 years in the health and fitness industry to Arzadon Fitness, anchored by a Bachelor of Physical Health and Education in Kinesiology from the University of Toronto. His work integrates kinesiology, strength science, and behavior change psychology — designed to deliver results that are measurable and sustainable.
Over more than a decade running his own premium practice, Antonio designed over 1,000 individualized training programs and maintained 85–95% client retention. His training is movement-quality first: clean mechanics, joint health, and pain-aware progressions that hold up under load and over time.
That foundation continues to evolve. Antonio is completing his ICF certification and Precision Nutrition Level 1 — broadening his work into the lifestyle layer that determines whether progress in the gym translates into progress in real life.
Methodology
Approach & Credentials
Kinesiology Foundation
Every program starts from a movement-quality lens — clean mechanics, joint health, and pain-aware progressions that hold under load and over time.
Behavior Change Psychology
Training results live and die by what happens outside the session. Antonio integrates the lifestyle layer — recovery, stress, nutrition, and daily habits — into every program.
1,000+ Programs Designed
Over a decade running his own premium practice, Antonio has built individualized programs across fat loss, muscle building, recomposition, and performance — every variable tracked.
85–95% Client Retention
Not a marketing number — a reflection of both the quality of programming and the relationship around it. Clients stay because progress is measurable and the process is sustainable.

Common Questions
About Antonio
What does a kinesiology background mean for how Antonio trains clients?
+
It means every exercise selection, progression, and load decision has a biomechanical reason behind it. Antonio assesses movement quality before intensity — joint health and pain-aware progressions aren't optional safeguards, they're the foundation. Clients trained under a kinesiology lens accumulate results without accumulating injury.
What types of clients does Antonio work best with?
+
Clients who want the academic foundation and the reps behind their coaching — people who have tried generic templates and know something is missing. Antonio is particularly strong with clients working around previous injury, professionals who need the lifestyle layer integrated (recovery, stress, nutrition), and anyone pursuing a long-term transformation rather than a short program.
How does Antonio approach behavior change alongside training?
+
Results in the gym are limited by what happens outside it. Antonio works with clients on the habits, recovery, and lifestyle patterns that either accelerate or undermine their training. His ICF certification in progress deepens this — it's not motivational coaching, it's structured integration of the factors that determine whether progress holds.
What is Antonio's retention rate and why does it matter?
+
85–95% over his independent practice. Retention at that level over more than a decade reflects two things: programming that produces visible, trackable results, and a coaching relationship that clients don't want to leave. Those two things are not separable.
