Scott B. — Vegetarian Muscle Building, Toronto
Scott is a vegetarian who wanted to build serious muscle. Most programs default to animal protein. His built around plant sources, strategic supplementation, and precise progressive overload. The result: 17 lbs of lean muscle — proof that diet philosophy doesn't limit the outcome when the programming is right.

How Scott built 17 lbs of lean muscle on a plant-based diet — muscle building training, Toronto
“Achieved as a vegetarian.”
The conventional wisdom says vegetarians can't build serious muscle — not enough complete protein, not the right amino acid profile. Scott's result is a direct rebuttal. What it takes is strategy: a training program matched to his physiology, and a nutrition protocol that calculates complete protein from plant sources instead of defaulting to animal protein as a shortcut.
His structural assessment identified the specific movement patterns and muscle groups to prioritize. The training was progressive: volume and load increased in 4-week blocks, tracked session by session. The nutrition was built around his dietary requirements — legumes, soy, nuts, and targeted supplementation to fill gaps where whole food sources fell short. InBody scans every two weeks confirmed lean mass was accumulating, not fat.
In his training cycle: 17 lbs of lean muscle. Training four sessions per week, every variable calibrated. The vegetarian constraint didn't limit the outcome — it just required a more precise protocol. That precision is what Arzadon builds for every client, regardless of dietary preference.

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 →
