I have been working out in Richard's studio for a number of weeks now and have not felt this strong and confident in a long time. I love the fact that I can work out for about 20 minutes twice a week. This is great for someone with a busy schedule! I highly recommend you give this a try. I also love your extensive music collection. You rock!

Rick is extremely knowledgeable about strength training. His workouts are incredibly time efficient and most importantly, the slow motion low force method is extremely safe so I know this is something I will be able to continue, injury free for decades to come. Also, his methods, provide improvements in my cardiovascular fitness as well as my strength all in one workout.

I appreciate that Rick gives me his undivided attention during my work out. The fact that I feel comfortable "feeling the burn" but in a safe environment is important to me.

I have never worked out in my life. I never thought of myself as a "gym" person, or someone who could be strong. But only a few weeks with Richard and its now a highlight of my week. My posture is way better, from head to toe im stronger for day to day life, and because I am investing in my health in this way, its making taking my health in other ways like eating and walking more seriously. Thanks for all you do Richard!

I've had my fair share of experience working out at the gym, doing crossfit and even gymnastics classes but this by far has to be the safest, quickest and results-oriented approach. Coach Richard is great! He creates an inviting experience for people of all fitness levels and helps you get out what you need in a short 20-minute workout. It may be quick, but nobody said it was easy! I recommend connecting with Richard and trying it out for yourself. The name Sustainable Success, says it all.

Richard Chartrand is an excellent trainer, who explains throughly what is expected of his clients and is a stickler for proper form. One who wants to overcome a training plateau, avoid injury, and have sustained success for life fitness and health should check out Richards home based strength studio. I personally loved his gluteator machine. My buns felt the workout!

“I was previously a pretty fit competitive athlete. But when I wanted to get back into fitness again after having a baby, my body struggled to train the way I used to. I was exhausted and just not up to my previous training regimen and didn’t know what to do. Training with Richard was fantastic because he was able to tailor our workouts to what I needed each day - whether I’d had six hours sleep or two! Using his methods, I was quickly able to regain strength and confidence and get back to my regular training program. What seemed at first almost too simple and gentle to work actually turned out to be really effective. Richard’s style and demeanour also made the workouts fun and positive at a time when that was just what I needed. Plus we did it all online so I didn’t need to waste time travelling! I would really encourage any other sleep-deprived new moms struggling to get fit again to give Richard a try. It was the best gift I could give myself.”
