I first met Darren during our initial assessment back in July, 2011. What immediately struck me about Darren was his professionalism and his willingness to work according to what best suited me, rather than a predetermined regimen he wanted to impress upon his clients. Given I had been working out on my own for the previous year, Darren carefully calculated where I currently was and my ultimate aspirations and came up with a plan, with me, on how best to achieve my goals. After determining the best route to take, Darren diligently went about ensuring I meet my goals; what is important is that Darren never tried to intimidate of coerce me during our workouts, the way some trainers do. Darren is masterful at reading his clients and motivating them in a way that best suits their personality. To date, I have achieved and exceeded my goals and this is in large part due to the work I put in with Darren. I would highly recommend him to anyone interested in attaining a strong level of health and wellness in their life!!!
Outside of being a fantastic trainer, Darren possesses qualities that are far and beyond many other trainers.
He has an extensive knowledge of how to target each area with a vast variety of exercises. His energy intrigues you and the results keep you coming back! He’s simply amazing!”From the moment I met Darren I was struck by his warmth and sweetness. He teaches with a perfect blend of persistence and humor. I think Darren is simply amazing and anyone who trains with him is very lucky!!!!!HE IS AN AWESOME TRAINER!!!”
Darren impressed me right from the start. He has motivated me to achieve a fitness level which I haven’t experienced since the days I was at college. He is knowledgable, reliable and personable. My sessions with Darren have never been motonous and he constantly introduces new ways to build my fitness. In a six month period, I have seen remarkable results, losing 15lbs and 12 total inches and hitting my targeted goal at 12% body fat. I have complete confidence that Darren will continue to encourage me to continue keeping fit and healthy.

My son and I have been fortunate to have Darren as our personal trainer for about six months now.
Darren is professional and well organized. He arrives for our twice weekly sessions early and always with a friendly smile(or story) ready to motivate us.. Darrens workouts are tailored to our separate needs, always unique, fun and full of challenges.
Having Darren come to our home for our workouts has made it possible to make health more
of a priority in our lives. Losing weight has always been an obstacle for myself and my son.
My teenage son now holds his head higher, has a better body image and has more self confidence. Thank you Darren!!
I would highly recommend Darren to anyone who is looking to improve themselves and their health.

“I have been training with Darren for about 3 years. He is very knowledgeable and gears the workout towards my own specific needs. The workouts are never boring and get changed up regularly. Darren will push you to your own limits and is encouraging towards my goals. I would recommend Darren as a personal trainer to anyone.” Wendy Steinberg

Best workout ever! Darren always comes with new exercises on every visits which is such a treat , we don’t have a chance to get bored or feel as if you’ve been doing the same thing over and over again. It does make the whole idea of working out way more fun and excited. We feel very motivated all the times and not to forget the result of feeling great, looking good and specially see your body changing every week looking more tone and firm.Darren is also very attentive about what we want to accomplish and very focus to helping us to achieve our goal and for the most important part to be able to maintain a good healthy looking body! Always on time on every visit , we find him very flexible with our own schedule, he is for us a excellent trainer in so many ways and level.

I have been working with Darren for about 5 months now. He is a very motivational trainer and does not give up. He will work on the exercise and push you even further to help you accomplish your goal. He does not give up even when you feel like you will need to! He is very flexible with his scheduling as he will always do what he can to fit you in no matter what. He brings all the equipment to your house which is great and convenient and always mixes up the workouts each session so you get a variety and you are constantly learning new work outs. He is very knowledgeable and always willing to give extra knowledge. When I first started working with Darren I did not have that much knowledge or experience with weight lifting and from working with him I have greatly improved in my workouts. Each session has been great working with Darren and I am always feeling great after. I would highly recommended Darren to anyone who is interested in a personal trainer.

With being the un-motivated type for working out at the gym, Darren has made me the motivated person I am today when it comes to our personal fitness training workout’s. I have seen the improvement on a weekly basis, having more energy, feeling good about my body, and having others notice too. Darren has helped give me definition and lose weight in the areas that are most important to me. Darren is very professional personal fitness trainer and treats his clients with lots of respect. I look forward to having Darren guide me further for years to come. Keep up the good work Darren, you have a lot to be proud of!
Mike is very professional and knowledgeable in his approach to fitness. I look forward to my private fitness training sessions with him, as he varies them, makes them fun and challenging, and motivates me to do my best. As a result of his personal training sessions, I feel more energized and flexible, stronger, less stressed, and more confident. The convenience of being able to accomplish this with in-home training and a personalized program add to the benefits. I would highly recommend Mike as a Personal Trainer to anyone wanting to improve their health and well-being.
I would highly recommend Darren to anyone! My fiancé and I hired him to get into shape for our upcoming wedding and I’m so glad we did! We’ve seen great results! I love the convenience of having an in home personal trainer come over. There’s no excuses or putting off working out because there’s someone there making you accountable. Darren is motivating and fun to work out with. He keeps us working hard and pushes us each time but also keeps things varied and different so that it isn’t the same old thing. If you want results Darren can definitely help you achieve them!
I would just like to take this opportunity to say how much I am enjoying my weekly personal training sessions with you. I can’t tell you how wonderful and convenient it is to have you show up at my house ten minutes before my training session every week.
I love the fact that you are so organized and that you vary the work-outs from week to week. Darren, you make the work-outs a lot of fun but very challenging and seem to know who is at what level and how hard to push and when to push us to the next level. I am already feeling much stronger with more energy thanks to you. As far as I’m concerned In-Home Personal Training is the way to go.
When it comes to any at-home personal training service there are obvious benefits, but what separates Build Yourself Fitness is the customization and creativity that Darren puts into our programs. Every week is a little bit different but equally challenging and rewarding. What amazes us most though is how easily our basic home can be turned into a full-service gym. One week we’re working our triceps using the kitchen chairs, and the next week we’re bench-pressing the ottoman (kidding). If you’re looking to get into better shape but busy and having trouble committing to a fitness routine, then you definitely won’t regret giving Darren a chance to help you out!
“Darren is a great Personal Trainer who I highly recommend. Over the 8 months I worked with Darren, I dropped two dress sizes and my fitness improved so much. I am now planning a trip to Peru to walk the Inca trails. If I hadn’t moved to a new Province, I would still be working out with him, and I have no doubt Darren can help anyone achieve their fitness goals!”
His private fitness training sessions were always motivating and varied with lots of different exercises to keep me interested. I worked considerably harder than I would have training on my own, but enjoyed every minute! I also have a very demanding work schedule with frequent travel commitments and Darren was extremely accommodating with his time and schedule to ensure I got my workouts in.”

“We needed someone to come in and work with our students and Darren Singer of Build Yourself Fitness seemed to have the right approach. We had beginners. Kids who wanted to train for specific sports, and many who just wanted to redefine their lifestyle. Darren did a terrific job at helping this diverse group understand how to take care of their bodies. He did targeted fitness programs for both full body fitness and specific muscle group training, including cardio, strength and core development. Our older students had to do a major project for their coursework and Darren helped them to design and implement a fitness plan with great success. We were very pleased with the work Darren did. He got all of us on the path to a healthy lifestyle. Keep up the good work Darren!”
“I have always hated ‘working out’, however Darren encouraged me to add a fitness program to my lifestyle, and it has changed my life around! A keen walker, I always thought that a daily vigorous walk would provide me with all the exercise I needed, however, when my weight accelerated and constantly ‘yo-yoed, I approached Darren who “tailor made” me one of his programs. This includes weights, kick boxing and resistance exercising. The program card which was provided helps me to exercise on day’s when I am not being trained. They are comprehensive and easy to follow.
With his help I managed not only to lose weight, but to go down three dress sizes!! More importantly he taught me how to maintain my weight, so that I now know my limits, and am able to eat in moderation, but with enjoyment, and to exercise without hating it! I highly recommend Darren to anyone who needs a personal trainer!! “
“Investing in my health with the help of Darren was the best decision I ever made. My stamina and strength have greatly improved. My cholesterol level, which used to be high is normal,and I am 15 pounds lighter. I am now wearing the same size clothes as I did 30 years ago. Thanks to Darren I feel great, look great, and my confidence is soaring. “
Darren was everything I could have asked for from a personal trainer. Darren made training enjoyable for someone who had never worked out consistently before. After each session with Darren I always felt like I had accomplished a goal by completing the daily workout. Darren listened to which part of the body I wanted to work the most, and designed a perfect program around that. He gave me a workout for days I didn’t see him, and with his influence I always kept up on them. Darren was always accommodating when sessions had to be moved in order to get all the weekly sessions in. I would still be training with Darren if I did not have to move away, so instead he gave me a weekly program that I could do on my own at home. He also gave me a food plan which combined with the workouts have helped me get in better shape and has made working out much more enjoyable. I would recommend Darren to anyone looking for a personal trainer!!!
