Brian Baker
Thrive Client
"I have worked with many trainers over the last 10 years. Jonathan Nicol is by far the best of the lot. Not only did he teach me a great rehabilitation program for my knee problem, he is also incredibly personal. He cares for his clients. I always look forward to our sessions. I highly recommend him. The Thrive Fitness approach has helped me regain confidence in my movement and stay committed."
Stephan Dyer
Marathoner
"Thrive saved my fitness career! I went from running 25 km easily to having a lower back injury and not being able to walk normally (chronic pain). I've worked with Dan Warwick for 5 months, and my core is stronger than ever. I have a customized fitness plan (running, strength training, core, nutrition) to get me rerunning marathons and, most importantly, to do this consistently. I am more confident than ever that I won't be re- injuring myself again, as Dan's built my plan for the long term, and I've been more consistent than ever. Oh, and also, the app is amazing – all the scheduling gets done there, and it has videos. If I have any questions, I'll leave a comment, and Dan will DM me that same day. If you're on the fence, join now! I knew that if I didn't, I was just going to injure myself again every day. Invest in yourself!"
Dee
Thrive Client
"As someone who had never worked out before, training with Coach Warwick has been an incredible experience. His professionalism, patience, and constant encouragement helped me go from a complete beginner to someone who now works out consistently with great results. I've seen major improvements in my strength, endurance, and overall fitness. If you're looking for a trainer who will guide you not only in fitness but also with nutrition, Coach Warwick is the perfect choice. The team at Thrive Fitness brings deep expertise, consistency, and an encouraging atmosphere to every session. I’ve really valued their dedication to client success."
Ian Fraser
Thrive Client
"We have worked with the Thrive team for several years now and have found the fitness training to be excellent. Our trainer, Daniel, has demonstrated a thorough knowledge of the training needs for seniors and has tailored our program based on our strengths and weaknesses and directed our program towards improving our balance and general fitness. Daniel has been very flexible in meeting our schedule and has arranged many of our sessions to be done on Zoom calls during our travels. Our trainer has also become a trusted friend and has always expressed a genuine interest in our family."
Barbara Fraser
Thrive Client
"My husband and I have been training with Thrive Fitness for the past several years at our residence and sometimes on Zoom when we are away. We now train with Daniel Warwick. He has a thorough understanding of our bodies, both strengths and limitations. He has developed a varied training program for us as seniors, which focuses on building core strength, balance, and cardio. We have benefited enormously from our sessions in remaining as fit as possible. Thrive has been instrumental in keeping us healthy and moving with confidence."
Justina Luksaite
Thrive Client
"Couldn’t recommend more!! So grateful for Jonathan Nicol, who helped me not only to train but also by setting plans and personal programmes according to the needs, wants and goals for my body shape. Inspiring and motivating, following up and being there for you. It was so easy to stay committed with his positive, friendly, and supportive energy. The progress I saw kept me going and excited for each session."
Simeon Papailias
Thrive Client
"I have been working with Thrive for almost two years, and it has been the best decision I have made for my health. Jonathan coached me through a shoulder injury and has been my trainer through my weight loss journey. James is my nutrition coach, and he is understanding, engaging and encouraging. I have lost over 20 lbs, and I am in the best shape I have been in since I was 18 years old. Thrive Fitness brings structure, personalization, and motivation to every stage of your wellness path."
Mira
Thrive Client
"Great working with Jonathan from Thrive Fitness! Very professional and knowledgeable trainer! I didn’t expect to see results so soon, and it felt like subtle lifestyle changes. Also, with Jonathan’s help, I was able to get rid of chronic back and neck pain. The support has been a game changer for my everyday life."
Macayla Paris
Thrive Client
"I thoroughly enjoyed my experience working with Jonathan Nicol as my trainer. The custom workout plan that he designed for me was excellent, and I always felt like I was being supported while trying to reach my goals. Jonathan will challenge you to go beyond your comfort zone while having a good time and sharing a few laughs. The knowledge that I gained from him is priceless. I highly recommend this program."
Alyssa Dixon
Thrive Client
"Jonathan is the most educated and experienced coach I’ve ever worked with. He cares about you and your personal growth! He helped me align my nutrition with fitness to see results. He helped me understand calorie counting and macros. He introduced me to my current coach, Danny, whom I work with virtually. The programs Danny creates for me are easy to follow, and if I’m unsure of how to do any of the movements, there are videos on the app to follow. He always makes sure I enjoy everything I’m doing so I can stay consistent. Also, Danny’s response time is unmatched! Wouldn’t look anywhere else for a coach. The guys are amazing!"
Ryan Broadhead
Thrive Client
"Amazing and a true pleasure to have related to such a great person and coach! I have been working with Jonathan for over three years now. He has been the most important part of my journey as I competed and finished an Ironman and a 70.3 Ironman, various road races, marathons, half marathons and everything in between. His passion, knowledge and experience in sport, injury prevention, rehabilitation, nutrition and technique-focused strength training have been invaluable. I have never been stronger, and it is because of Jonathan that I was race-ready and able to work through injuries and setbacks along the way. He is dedicated to his craft and has built a great network of professionals who supported me throughout my journey."
Daniel Garnier
Thrive Client
"Jonathan is extremely knowledgeable and helpful! He focused on my strengths and skills and developed a program that helped me meet my fitness goals. Most importantly, it was encouraging and fun to train with him. He always brought structure to our sessions and made the process feel achievable."
Jessica Fera
Thrive Client
"Working out with James has been such a great experience. Despite our early morning sessions, he is always in a positive and uplifting mood which makes the workouts something I always look forward to. Session after session, James continues to increase the intensity of specific exercises which has significantly improved my strength and endurance overall. I’m thankful for his knowledge and ability to not only motivate me but also to push me forward with confidence."
Patrick Scavone
Thrive Client
"Thrive has been great! Both Jonathan and his brother James have helped me get back on track in my fitness journey! My biggest problem is diet and what I eat, and James really helped simplify everything and answered a lot of questions I had. We now track my meals and he holds me accountable. Both Jonathan and James check in often and I appreciate their dedication. Highly recommend Thrive!"
Joanne Taylor
Thrive Client
"While I do not live in Toronto, I have been working with Daniel Warwick remotely for several months now, and I am beyond happy with my programs and progress! Daniel carefully crafted a weekly program that takes my age and knee issue into account. He is always available if I have questions and keeps close tabs on my progress, adding new variations to my sets to keep things interesting and challenging. I look forward to continuing my health and fitness journey with Daniel as my trainer."
Omar Soliman
Thrive Client
"Jonathan is a veteran trainer who has done wonders for my fitness and diet regimen. He takes a practical, common-sense approach to fitness, which, after several years away from the gym on my part, has proven very helpful. He is a consummate professional. At the urging of my ten-year-old son and his nine-year-old cousin, I’ve retained Jonathan to train them as well — he is assisting them with age-appropriate agility and strength training on a program that I would recommend to any parent. Would frankly recommend Jonathan to anyone without hesitation."
Kathleen Daly
Thrive Client
"Working with Jonathan was nothing short of amazing. The knowledge was exceptional. I came into the program overweight, injured and mentally defeated. The major difference with Jonathan was he listened and specialized a program designed for me. The outcome was nothing short of life-changing and I owe my health and physical transformation to him. His background and wealth of information helped every step of the way and I’ve never experienced a more positive path."
Emilie Filion
Thrive Client
"Jonathan has been my trainer for five years and I highly recommend him. He taught me how to properly move and has always cared about building solid foundations to my health first which I appreciate very much. His approach is sustainable, and he regularly checks up on me with no pressure. I have reached amazing results since I’ve been working with him. His consistent guidance has helped me stay strong physically and mentally."
Tatiana Kachira
Thrive Client
"Jonathan is a top-notch trainer and human being. He helped me achieve and surpass my fitness and athletic goals while also being extremely knowledgeable about rehab of injuries, movement mechanics and so forth. Beyond exceptional! His level of care and detail makes a huge difference in each session."
Eric Sana
Thrive Client
"Jonathan is professional and very, very good at what he does, but most importantly, he is a kind and integrity-driven individual. It was such a pleasure being trained by him. Every session was thoughtful and effective, and I always left feeling stronger and more empowered."
Max Greenwood
Thrive Client
"I have a history of lower back pain and have had multiple shoulder dislocations. I wanted to ensure I built up strength and moved out of pain. I like to travel, scuba dive, snowboard, and stay active. Jonathan managed to keep me active and avoid pain while doing the activities I love. I’ve never trained with anyone like Jonathan! I also use online personal training when I travel. It’s allowed me to stick to my rehab routine using minimal equipment. I would recommend either personal training or online personal training with Jon."
Pete Adams
Thrive Client
"Would highly recommend him as a coach. When we started working together, I was more than 100 lbs overweight. Although I had trained before, at that size, it’s an entirely different predicament — everything is harder, and it’s easy to get discouraged and injured. But with his immense knowledge and personalized approach, he kept me motivated and on track, even during a global pandemic where we had to get creative. Two years later, I’m down a hundred pounds, stronger than I’ve ever been and still motivated to reach new goals. A good coach cannot do the work for you — that’s still on you. But having someone committed to your success, keeping you motivated and adapting to your specific needs, is an invaluable resource. The only things you have to lose are the weight and the excuses. Trust him and the process, and the rest will follow."
Ellen C
Thrive Client
"I worked weekly for over a year with a Thrive Fitness coach and I’ve been able to get so much stronger and improve my form. She was especially great whenever I had a weird injury that needed modifications or when our routine needed to change based on equipment availability. She had a ton of knowledge and made fitness feel accessible and results-driven."
Simran Kaur
Thrive Client
"Over lockdown, I gained a lot of weight and wasn't really looking after myself. My brother recommended Jonathan to me, and the rest is history. He held me accountable for my sessions every week, and I started (slowly but surely) delivering results. Within 3 months, I was back to my normal weight and body fat before Covid, and my confidence was boosted. I'm forever thankful for Jon's help and approach in getting me back on track."
Sabaina Malik
Thrive Client
"I have been working with Jonathan for a year now. His knowledge of the human anatomy is top notch and he has helped me become stronger and leaner. I've also received nutrition guidance which has helped catapult results. Highly recommend Jon and his team!"
Ikram Akhlaq
Thrive Client
"Been working with Jon and James for over a year now, and I’ve seen massive progress. I was skeptical at first about online coaching, but I’ve been surprised at how effective and seamless it’s been. I use apps for both the training program and nutritional side, and Jon and James view the inputs and give me tips on how to move better and choose better foods. Highly recommend Thrive — great bunch of guys who I can’t thank enough for getting me into better condition (115kg to 90kg for now)! Let’s go, team!"
Helena R
Thrive Client
"It is no exaggeration to say that Jonathan and his network of support services (physio, chiropractic, nutrition) have saved me. Jonathan has helped me recover and retrain through multiple physical imbalances due to surgery, pain, and immobility. He has an impressive breadth of knowledge and experience, but more importantly, he is a caring, trustworthy person who is always supportive, positive, and encouraging. What I’ve learned is that fitness and wellness is a lifelong process, even after you’ve met all your goals… And the ultimate goal is to keep moving through the decades. I can’t thank him and his team enough for the support, learning, and care over the years. It’s been a life changer."
Najd
Thrive Client
"Thrive Fitness has a professional and friendly team. They are flexible and responsive to any concerns or questions. Everyone around me noticed the changes in my body and my confidence soon after I started training with them. The difference was both physical and mental."
Bola
Thrive Client
"Very professional and passionate team. The energy is always positive and encouraging. I’ve truly appreciated their structured approach and the attention they give to detail."
Fluer
Thrive Client
"I just started working out with help from a Thrive Fitness coach, and I’m very happy with the experience! She proposes exercises that fit very well, especially for getting back into shape after my first pregnancy. Her support and attention to form have made a big difference in how confident I feel returning to fitness."
Jaclyn
Thrive Client
"I have been working with a Thrive Fitness coach for just over 7 months and I’m over the moon with my progress – not only aesthetically but physically as well. I'm a 36-year-old mom of two and a former distance runner. I hired Thrive because I wanted to make the switch to strength training and build muscle. They delivered! I never thought I could sweat so much in a strength session. During our time together, I’ve had a surgery and a couple of minor injuries (not workout related), and my coach always tailored the program on the spot. She’s not only an excellent trainer, but also incredibly fun to train with. 10/10 would recommend."
Ilse
Thrive Client
"Working with Thrive Fitness Worldwide is great. My trainer is always on time, ensures I’m performing movements correctly, and keeps the workouts focused on my goals. I can feel the intensity and results. I really recommend Thrive – very professional and client-focused."
Caitlin
Thrive Client
"I've been working with a Thrive Fitness coach for almost 6 months now and I’m already seeing huge improvements in reaching my overall fitness goals. She provides the routine and structure I needed to hold myself accountable and offers a flexible schedule when life gets hectic. I’ve never been able to stay consistent with the gym on my own, but with Thrive, I look forward to every session — even the tough ones! She makes fitness achievable and motivating, no matter your starting point."
Arianne Young
Thrive Client
"I was able to meet with Jonathan virtually to discuss a plan, and he listened patiently through my tears. I was connected with a Thrive Fitness coach and, though it's still early, I already enjoy working toward a goal that keeps evolving and staying interesting. For my specific mobility needs, she’s so knowledgeable — kind, but she makes you do the work! She’s been very encouraging, and that’s exactly what I needed. The physical results will come, but the emotional balance I hope to achieve is what I’m looking forward to most."
Naura
Thrive Client
"Jonathan was highly recommended by a colleague, and having worked with him for nearly two years now, I can personally vouch for that recommendation. It’s clear he’s highly invested in my fitness goals and takes great care in selecting exercises and movements tailored to my body — especially with my history of sports-related injuries. He’s also a great motivator, and I’ve found his program to strike the right balance between ambitious and achievable. His nutrition guidance has also been incredibly valuable. A class act."
Mary Anne
Thrive Client
"I worked with Jonathan a year ago after sustaining a few injuries and not knowing how to navigate exercising around them. I was training with poor form and just ignoring old injuries. Jonathan helped me understand how to move efficiently and helped me push past the fear of pain. I gained confidence in my body and in trying new ways of training. I always left our sessions having had a great conversation and a great workout. Truly appreciated his help!"
Ashley
Thrive Client
"Jonathan is knowledgeable, kind, and detailed. He knows a great deal about how the body moves and tailors sessions to each client’s needs. His sessions are structured and feel truly personal."
Billy Prater
Thrive Client
"I was lucky to train with Jonathan for over a year — he transformed my life from never stepping foot in a gym to becoming someone who loves it. I learned the fundamentals of training all the way through advanced movements and mobility work. Every session was a challenge, but we had many laughs along the way. His encouragement kept me going, and I credit him with giving me the tools to train smart and stay consistent."
Oriana
Thrive Client
"Jonathan is very knowledgeable and easy to understand. He helped me learn how to properly perform exercises so my knee didn’t hurt anymore. Amazing coach who helped restore my confidence and enjoyment in training again!"
Nancie
Thrive Client
"J was a great solution for me to get back at it! Always prompt and professional, he was super knowledgeable on all aspects of fitness and nutrition. The program was tough… but a whole lot of fun! I looked forward to our sessions because of his energy and encouragement, and I’m stronger and healthier now because of it."
Steven
Thrive Client
"Working with Jonathan has been great – he’s helped me lose over 30 pounds through workouts and nutritional advice. His approach is supportive but also keeps you accountable. I would definitely recommend him as a trainer!"
Kina
Thrive Client
"I have never liked working out my entire life, yet somehow after working with Thrive Fitness, I’ve been motivated to work out almost every day. The workouts are tailored to my busy schedule and lifestyle so I don’t feel overwhelmed but can still make goals and achieve them. Whenever I have questions, they’re answered in a timely manner and always in a positive tone that makes me comfortable. Truly life-changing support and structure."
Holly

Angat
Thrive Client
"Easily one of the best coaches I’ve ever had — always willing to go the extra mile. He’s helped me deal with numerous challenges, both with working out and life in general. I’ve grown not just physically but mentally under his coaching. Would recommend over and over again!"
Tanya
Thrive Client
"Jonathan is amazing. He made my rehabilitation fun, and years of pain disappeared as we got my body moving properly. After the rehab, I was able to work with him to increase my training goals. I would highly recommend Thrive Fitness to anyone, especially those dealing with injury recovery or seeking a smarter path to long-term fitness."
Kapil
Thrive Client
"Jonathan is a phenomenal trainer. His coaching has immensely improved my back pain, overall fitness, and led to sustainable weight loss! He really knows his stuff and is so gracious when responding to questions. He’s incredibly accessible, really cares, and is also just a joy to talk to. It’s been a wonderful journey with him, and I’m looking forward to much more to come."
Don
Thrive Client
"Working with Thrive Fitness has really helped with my basketball and hip mobility. They are very knowledgeable on how the body works and on muscle recovery. I highly recommend them for athletes or anyone trying to move better."
Sinead Gill
Thrive Client
"I have been working with Daniel for some time now and I cannot recommend him enough. I’ve had back problems for a long time, which affected my quality of life. Working online with Daniel has been a saving grace. He is professional, incredibly knowledgeable, and just brilliant to work with all around."
Kieran Johnson
Thrive Client
"Daniel has been working with me now for several years, and I could not have achieved the goals and milestones that I have without him. His expertise and professionalism are second to none, and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed his online coaching style. Daniel creates a very personalized experience, which he has adapted seamlessly to my hectic lifestyle. Highly recommended."
Niall Twomey
Thrive Client
"I’ve worked with Daniel online for many years and he simply is the best at what he does. His ability to be there for his clients is second to none and he’s the first coach who really is there 24/7 to support you. So knowledgeable and always makes plans specific to what you want to achieve. I couldn’t recommend him enough."
Naoishe Burns
Thrive Client
"I have recently, over the last few months, started to work with Danny online and all I can say is he is amazing at his job. He is constantly there for support and always checking in to see how I’m doing. His words of encouragement are next to none and I’m so thankful for his help. I was introduced to Daniel through my Irish basketball team where we underwent S&C training with him — which I thoroughly enjoyed! When the opportunity came about to train online with him and tap into his knowledge, it was a no- brainer. I cannot recommend Daniel highly enough."
Zamunda Sangau
Thrive Client
"For years, I’ve been battling multiple pains from previous injuries. These last few months of online coaching have been wonderful with Daniel’s guidance into strength training and my pain-free journey. I’ve seen my overall strength increase drastically within a short period. I’m extremely grateful to be working with Daniel and look forward to seeing where I can go with continued online coaching. No matter your fitness level, he’ll help you move better and feel stronger. I strongly recommend him."
Christopher Mucha
Thrive Client
"I have been doing online coaching with Daniel since 2022 and I have had nothing but the best experience. For anyone who is struggling to shed those extra pounds, I recommend Daniel for both his knowledge and motivation. I’ve had experience with other trainers and never been able to shed the weight. I also struggled with shoulder issues for years — I’m happy to say that’s cleared up! After training for many months with Daniel’s guidance, I’m seeing great results. Highly recommend him."
Blake Ducharme
Thrive Client
"I trained with Jonathan for months! Loved the experience and would recommend his training program to anyone looking to improve their fitness and train the right way. He not only showed me the best way to train and how to avoid injury, but he pushed me and held me accountable throughout the program. Jonathan and his team will absolutely help you reach your fitness goals."
Ketul Patel
Thrive Client
"Jonathan is undoubtedly an expert in his field. His subject matter knowledge regarding fitness, healthcare, injury prevention, and rehabilitation is second to none. What makes Thrive Fitness exceptional is their fully bespoke delivery focused on your individual needs. Jonathan advised me as a strength and conditioning coach, and as a specialist through every injury I’ve faced as an athlete. His holistic service gave me confidence not only in his ability but in my own path forward. I can’t overstate how much I’ve appreciated his service."
Rob Madden
Thrive Client
"Physiotherapist | Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist (NSCA) | Performance support to Anthony Joshua I had the pleasure of working with Jonathan at a multi-disciplinary health and performance centre in London. He is a fantastic trainer with a passion for health and fitness and a willingness to go above and beyond for his clients. He’s a great communicator and all-around coach — always spoken of fondly by his clients while working toward their goals."
Gulnara Tohtamova
Thrive Client
"A couple of years ago I had a bad accident where I ruptured my ACL. I spent five months being fairly inactive, which resulted in a loss of strength and joint mobility. I began rehab with Isokinetic on Harley Street and was then referred to train with Jonathan. He helped me regain my strength and move out of knee pain. I was able to sign off from physio three months later! I got back to playing badminton, skiing, surfing, and even completed a Tough Mudder. Jonathan’s guidance was critical in rebuilding my confidence and movement."
