Training.with.Tyson

I’m adding more 50+ Group Training Classes.

It’s been almost 2 years since I started a 50+ Training Group . Monday & Thursday 9am & 10am are all full and I am looking to expand my offerings.

Here is what it will look like:

- 10am Monday & Friday (must commit to 2x per week for the month)
- Class size of 6 or less
- Class structure = warm up, 35 minutes strength training, 8-12 minute circuit at the end
- All exercises are scaled to the ability of the individual
- Start date TBD

Please share this with friends you think might be interested! DM to sign up!

Determination, grit, commitment, perseverance, and masterful preparation. That’s what my dear friend, long time training partner, and client showed this past week when he won the Canadian National B Level Squash Championship in Montreal!!!

His squash season (and career really) are the epitome of hard work and dedication equaling results.

It’s not just the time on court or the gym. It’s the time in your head thinking about how to be better, problem solving, learning the game, growing as an athlete. he was googling how to play in a warm court between matching and how to play against a long limbed left handed player. His preparation was masterful.

I can honestly say I’ve never been more proud of a friend. I’ve seen him working hard on this for 10 years. I know how much time and effort he’s put in. This is an incredible accomplishment!

Remember … work hard and good things happen.

We are thrilled to share the kind words that one of Training.with.Tyson clients left for him!

This was such a satisfying email to read.

This client had been absent from group fitness for 2 months. Today, despite some anxiety, she decided to come back. She told me how she felt right after she came through the door. I said no problem and modified the workout for her. I made sure to keep a close eye on her and cue/encourage when I felt it was needed. 8 hours later I open my email and see this.

I think this is worth sharing because not everyone does feel comfortable in a gym. And that sucks! Because everyone should. So encourage those around you and celebrate those and take a leap in the pursuit of a greater quality of life.

And for the record her sarcasm has me bursting out in laughter at least once a session. I love it.

50+ group fitness is going strong with 2 groups training 2x per week. 1 space left for October! Direct message me for details!

Great job Sean and Bailie testing your deadlifts today!

365x1
200x1

I can't say enough nice things about. As a trainer, having solid people I can refer to when one of my clients is facing a barrier outside of my scope of practice is incredibly important. The business name perfectly exemplifies Justin as a person and as a therapist. All around great guy!

Shoutout to The Compassion Clinic’s favourite trainer Tyson Montgomery - Personal Training Kingston] who got his hands on a Clinic Hoodie!

Tyson can be found at and is one of the best trainers around with his focus on form, functional fitness and overall wellness! He kicks our 🍑, helps keep us and his clients 💪 physically and mentally, and is an all around great guy. He even sends clients our way who are struggling to have that team approach whether they are experiencing issues with anxiety, depression and/or eating disorders.

Thanks for supporting The Clinic and everything you do Tyson Montgomery - Personal Training Kingston] 🙂

3 spaces left for June Classes.

Nothing like some Cyndi Lauper (+ other 80’s hits) and a workout on a holiday Monday. The strongest 55+ ladies I know, putting in some work this morning.

Almost two months into the Seniors Class and we are seeing some gains.

Everyone is deadlifting off the floor, squatting near parallel, doing push ups at a higher difficulty, and overall have more work capacity. And equally as important, there is a sense of community, comradery, and everyone is having fun.

The video on the left was a lifetime PR with no straps. The weight moved quite well. I’d say it looked like an RPE 8.5/10 (rate of perceived exertion = how hard did it feel?). This was November of last year.

We put the deadlift on the back burner for 4.5 months and used our weekly session to focus on the back squat. He was still deadlifting at home once a week, but not at high intensities.

Today marked 6 weeks into deadlift as the focus of our weekly session. The video on the right is the same weight as the left, but with a 1ct pause off the floor. To me, it looks like the same, or a lower RPE. The straps were only used because of a minor wrist injury from sports. As anyone who has used straps knows they do make it easier, which goes against my point.

However, I think context is important here. Christmas break falls in this time period, other activities got added into weekly training volume as things opened up around the province, there was a week or so off in there.

The point is it’s not all about the amount of weight on the bar.

Here are some examples of progress in maximal strength that aren’t more weight on the bar:

- Lifting the same weight with a pause added
- Lifting the same weight with a lower RPE (how hard it feels)
- Lifting the same weight for more reps or more sets within the same session
- Lifting the same weight with bands or chains to add resistance
- Lifting the same weight without straps

Training highlights from the past week.

Block Pulls 400x3

First time doing these as a primary exercise. Feeling strong from the blocks. If I do some work of the floor after this block 440-450 is there.

Barbell Dimmels 310x4

Working on speed and bar path.

Bench Press 190x2

These is harder than it was 4 weeks ago. I need to eat more. I’ve lost a bit of weight and it’s noticeable on the bench.

Bench Press - 3ct Eccentric + 1ct pause 175x2

Back Squat 297x1

I’ve switched from my Nike Weightlifting Shoes (Romaleos 4’s) back to Met Con’s. I couldn’t get my bar path straightened out (coming forward in the bottom). I’m amazing how much more I feel the floor.

Accessory work tomorrow. 🌞 and relax the rest of the weekend!

You might be shocked to know that what you do for exercise matters way less than being consistent. It's very easy to get caught in the trap of trying to make the perfect plan. The end result is often a plan that is impossible to stick to, or, not doing anything because it feels like you don't know what the perfect thing to do is.

So what should you do?

Barbell Strength Training
Circuit Training
Spin Classes
Yoga
Hiking
Team Sports

…. It doesn’t really matter. Just start and don’t stop!

I recently complete “Modern Management of Older Adults” through .

Excited to take what I have learned and start a seniors fitness class going in the next month. Details to come!

What gets measured get managed. Whether it’s finances, diet, sleep, strength training, or your business.

Next year I want to slowly move away from 1on1 training and start doing more small group training. It’s way more affordable and way more motivating for clients! In the small group training I’ve done thus far in my career I see people push way harder and make way more progress when they are training with a partner, friend, or teammate.

Hit me up if you want to give it a try!!
