About Gaven

Gaven Ren is one of the most reviewed coaches to have come through Arzadon Fitness. Seventeen Google reviews — virtually all of them five stars — describe the same pattern: a trainer who is technically precise about form, genuinely patient with clients learning the fundamentals, and deeply invested in results that show up in the numbers.

His name appears in the same breath as Jay's across multiple reviews — a coach operating at the centre of the studio's culture rather than on the edge of it. Clients attribute fat loss, muscle building, body recomposition, and technique breakthroughs in equal measure. The squat comes up repeatedly: people who couldn't squat well before arrive with a new personal record.

Beyond the session, reviewers note nutrition guidance, attention to detail, and the kind of consistent check-ins that keep a programme on track between appointments. One client wrote: “Working with Arzadon has created such meaningful change in my life — I feel better in my body, I have more energy, I sleep well, and I've learned how to fuel myself properly.” That last part is Gaven.

“I started at Arzadon Fitness in August of 2024. I have been down 30-ish pounds since starting my journey at the gym with the help and support of Gaven and Jay. From the start, they were really focused on working with my skill level. Every workout was planned out for me with consideration for my goals and improvements.”

What training with Gaven looks like

I have lost 30 lbs and had a body recomp I didn’t even know was possible in 4 months. From the first session with Gaven, I knew I had made the right decision.

Common Questions

How much does a personal trainer in Toronto cost?

At Arzadon Fitness, most clients invest from $387/month. This is an all-inclusive model that provides 24/7 facility access, personalized programming, nutritional architecture, and 1-on-1 coaching sessions. Unlike traditional gyms, we do not charge hourly per-session fees, ensuring our focus is entirely on your results.

What makes Arzadon different from other gyms in downtown Toronto?

We are Toronto's most data-driven personal training gym. We track over 40 data points per client, including VO2 max, biosignature, and InBody scans. Furthermore, our trainers are compensated based on your outcomes, not the hours they log. We focus on one metric: your result.

Do you offer personal training for women in Toronto?

Yes. We specialize in female fat loss and body recomposition. Our coaches, including those certified as Female & Male Transformation Specialists by the Clean Health Institute, design adaptive nutrition and hormonal strategies specifically tailored to women's physiology.

What is biosignature testing and why does it matter?

Biosignature Modulation is a scientific approach to spot reduction and body composition. By measuring specific skinfold sites, we can identify hormonal imbalances (like cortisol or insulin resistance) and create targeted nutritional and supplement protocols to accelerate fat loss.View our assessment process →

Where is Arzadon Fitness located in Toronto?

We are located in the heart of King West at 460 Richmond St W, Suite 100, Toronto, ON M5V 1Y1. Our private, state-of-the-art facility is designed for focused, distraction-free training.

How long until I see results with a personal trainer?

With our precision assessments and 12-week periodized programming, clients typically see measurable changes within the first 14-21 days. Significant transformations (like losing 20+ lbs or dropping 5-8% body fat) are routinely achieved in 12 to 16 weeks.

Do you offer gym memberships without personal training?

No. Arzadon Fitness is a private personal training studio, not a public gym. Every client works with a dedicated coach. This ensures accountability, proper technique, and measurable outcomes — none of which are possible in an unsupervised gym environment.

What is VO2 max and why should I care about it?

VO2 max is the maximum rate at which your body can consume oxygen during exercise. It is the single best predictor of cardiovascular health and longevity. We test VO2 max as part of our baseline assessment and track improvements over time.Learn about VO2 max testing →

Do you offer VO₂ Max testing in Toronto?

Yes. Our Clinical VO₂ Max Diagnostic is available at our King West studio for $177. It uses the VO₂ Master Analyzer to measure your aerobic capacity, set custom heart rate zones (Z1–Z5), and map fuel source utilization. Results are delivered same day with a written summary.Book VO₂ max testing →

What is the minimum commitment at Arzadon?

Our transformation programs run 12–16 weeks — that’s the minimum window required to produce meaningful, measurable results. If you’re not ready for a full program, our Hybrid Coaching package offers a month-to-month model starting at $387/month with no lock-in contract.
