About Us - Quantyra Chronicle Fitness

Where Numbers Meet Sweat

Look, we're not gonna sugarcoat it – when we opened our doors back in 2019, we were just three trainers who were fed up with the typical gym BS. You know what I'm talking about... those places where you're just another membership number, and nobody actually cares if you show up or not.

We started Quantyra Chronicle because we believed people deserved better. Real coaching. Real results. And yeah, real data to back it all up. No gimmicks, no magic pills – just solid programming, accountability, and a community that'll push you when you need it.

What began in a 2,000 sq ft space on Bloor Street has grown into Toronto's go-to spot for folks who want to train like athletes, whether they're prepping for competition or just trying to keep up with their kids at the park.

How We Got Here

Early 2019 - The Idea

Three trainers sitting in a coffee shop, sketching gym layouts on napkins. We'd all worked at those big box chains and were tired of watching people quit because nobody gave them real guidance. That's when we decided to do something about it.

September 2019 - Opening Day

Opened with 47 charter members who believed in our vision. The space was rough around the edges, equipment was second-hand, but the energy? Unmatched. First month we ran 6am bootcamps that people still talk about today.

2020-2021 - The Pivot

Yeah, we all know what happened. Closed our doors but stayed connected through online programming. Lost some members, sure, but gained something bigger – we learned how to coach remotely and built tech to track progress digitally. Made us way better coaches honestly.

Late 2022 - Expansion

Took over the unit next door and doubled our space. Added a dedicated area for mobility work and recovery. Brought on three more coaches who actually knew their stuff. Started seeing semi-pro athletes choosing us over the fancy sports performance centers.

2024-Present - What's Next

Over 300 active members now. Launched our performance analysis lab with body comp tracking and VO2 max testing. We're not slowing down – just getting started. Every day we're proving that when you mix real coaching with solid science, people get results that last.

Meet The Team

The folks who'll be in your corner every step of the way

Marcus Chen

Co-Founder & Head Coach

Been coaching for 11 years and I still get hyped seeing someone hit a new PR. Started in Olympic lifting, transitioned to functional fitness. Coffee addict, dad of two, can't do a handstand to save my life but I'm working on it.

Jess Rodriguez

Co-Founder & Performance Director

Former track athlete who learned the hard way that pushing harder isn't always smarter. That's why I'm obsessed with recovery protocols and movement quality. Also our in-house nutrition nerd. Yes, I meal prep on Sundays like a psycho.

David Thompson

Co-Founder & Strength Specialist

The quiet one who'll spot your form issues from across the room. Powerlifting background, but these days I'm all about making people move better and feel stronger. Weekend warrior mountain biker. Terrible at small talk, great at programming.

Sarah Kim

HIIT & Bootcamp Lead

I bring the energy at 6am when everyone else is half asleep. Came from a dance background so I'm big on rhythm and flow in workouts. Will absolutely make you do burpees but promise they'll be worth it. Plant-based athlete proving you don't need meat to be strong.

Andre Baptiste

Athletic Performance Coach

Ex-college football player who missed training more than the game itself. Now I help regular folks train with the same intensity as athletes. Big believer in progressive overload and tracking everything. If you're not logging it, did it even happen?

Emily Foster

Mobility & Recovery Specialist

The person who'll tell you that foam roller isn't just for Instagram photos. Trained in physiotherapy and sports massage. I'm here to keep you moving when everyone else is trying to break you. Also runs our Sunday recovery sessions that you definitely need.

What Actually Sets Us Apart

Data-Driven Approach

We track your progress with real metrics – body comp, performance benchmarks, workout intensity. Not just so you can post it, but so we can adjust your programming based on what's actually working.

Small Group Focus

Max 12 people per class. Everyone gets eyes on them, everyone gets coaching cues. You're not just another body in the back row hoping you're doing it right.

Performance First

Whether you're training for a marathon or just wanna feel good climbing stairs, we program like you're an athlete. Because honestly, if you're showing up and putting in work, you are one.

Recovery Is Training

We actually care about your mobility and recovery work. It's built into your membership, not an upsell. Because gains happen when you rest, not just when you're crushing workouts.
