About Xelf!
Founded and incorporated in 2005 by personal trainer Damian Lockhart, Xelf has remained true to its vision of empowering people to live an active life that they enjoy. Xelf is the word ‘Flex’ spelt backwards because the only lasting results come from within. As exercise coaches/personal trainers, we aim to not only provide our members with temporary exercise motivation, but also to create internal motivation and independence within them. Xelf has acquired a beautiful new private fitness studio on 1 West Ave S as of January 2015.
Mission Statement:
“Through personal training, we empower people to live active lives they enjoy, so that the journey is appreciated and the benefits are lived”
Vision:
We endeavour to be a unique, highly impactful personal fitness studio, where quality trumps quantity.
Damian Lockhart
Damian Lockhart has been a Fitness Professional (personal trainer) since 2000 and founded Xelf in 2005. As a personal trainer, his lifelong relationship with exercise, nutrition, and seeing others struggle to find their balance has been the driving factor behind his passion to help others become Empowered Exercisers. Damian believes that the coaching and exercise influence of a personal trainer is necessary in establishing the foundation of living an active life that people enjoy.

Omar Qubaia
My relationship with exercise hasn’t changed in many years but what has changed is my ability, as a personal trainer, to get others to develop a better relationship with exercise. After feeling the benefits of strength training/personal training sessions, people are more likely to try doing activities they once loved to do.

Massage & FST (Fascial Stretch Therapy)
Living an active life is much more enjoyable and sustainable when we feel good moving, and this is one of fundamentals of our personal training sessions. By lessening your internal resistance and tension, you are capable of taking on greater external resistance. This enables you to move about feeling lighter, more efficient, and grants your body the ability to recover faster in between workouts. We currently offer traditional massage therapy, fascial stretch therapy (FST) & thai massage sessions. Our massage and FST clients come from all over Hamilton, Burlington, Oakville, Ancaster, Dundas, Stoney Creek and surrounding cities.
