I have been working with Ashley for a year now. We first worked together in a fitness center, and now, in my home. As a middle-aged woman with some joint issues, my goal was both to increase my overall fitness and to improve my mobility. I have been exceedingly pleased with the personal training Ashley has provided. Ashley is enthusiastic, dedicated and caring. She has a special talent to motivate. Her background in Kiniesiology has been especially useful for me as a client, as she is very knowledgeable of anatomy and has designed exercises targeted to improve my specific functional issues. In this regard, I have found my training with Ashley to be more helpful to me than the physiotherapy I had taken for the same problem. Ashley is dedicated to seeing her clients succeed in their goals. She charts your progress and challenges you to do more, whether it’s increasing weight or reps. She changes your routine so it doesn’t get boring. I believe a caring relationship is key in working with a trainer. If a trainer is not invested in your success, then they are just putting in the time. In Ashley you will find someone who is invested in you, and I recommend her without hesitation.

“Dylan was late getting to your session today and still came away ranting about it. He is working hard and loves it – that’s an excellent model you’re implementing.”

I can’t thank you enough for everything you’ve taught me. I never dreamed of doing a powerlifting meet, nor did I think I was capable. You have consistently proved me wrong by knowing when to push me and encourage me through every step of the way. These last ten months have been so much fun and worth every penny! I truly feel like a changed person and credit a huge portion of my success to you. Thank you for being an amazing trainer and friend.

Thanks for taking care of me!! Much appreciated.

You really care about me and my health for which I am commending you.

I have known Malachi for 9 years, and when I need fitness advice, he is the one I go to. His knowledge of the biomechanics and physiology of the human body ensure that you will be training based on scientific principles to make sure that you get the most out of your hard work. His ability to translate the latest scientific evidence into your understandable, personalized program will take you to the next level and with emphasis on measurable goals you will see yourself drastically improve your health and fitness. No matter what your goal is, Malachi’s expertise will help you achieve it.
-- Daryl, MD
"Malachi proves to be very service oriented. He wishes to ensure all of his clients (PT and programs) are very satisfied. His PT clients tend to sign-up for additional packages/sessions. Members keep asking Malachi to teach a group exercise class at night."

“ I think the biggest goal was to just stay in the top shape I can, I mean last summer was the same thing I was training here in Halifax at Total Hockey, and I got in the best shape of my life and I just wanted to make sure I got back to that level, and put on some more strength and some more explosive power and get even better – those were the biggest goals this year.”
-- Trey Lewis, Captain of the 2013 CHL Memorial Cup Champions, Halifax Mooseheads
“My personal experience with Malachi Fralick started three years ago. Having played competitive hockey and lacrosse my whole life, I understood that if I wanted to take my game to the next level I must make dryland training a part of my routine. I became involved in Mali’s summer program, which was designed to combine strength and conditioning for my two sports. It was that first summer I learned the importance of sport specific strength and speed conditioning. Over these last three years I have seen results that most athletes could only hope for. My recent success at the Canadian U17 Team Canada Lacrosse tryouts is proof positive of the payoff that can be achieved through the personal training provided by Mali. The strength, endurance, and confidence that Mali provides has been a major contributor to my athletic development. He is 100% committed to getting the improvements from me that I need and takes pride in doing the best he can to motivate me to achieve superior results. Thanks Mali”
-- Alex Pace, U17 Team Canada Lacrosse, 2015 Lacrosse Nova Scotia Athlete of the Year
I also got a lot quicker working out with Mali at Total Hockey Training, five days a week all summer; it's been a really great ride this summer with my brother training, we trained a lot and I definitely think I have achieved my goals"
-- Luke Green, defenseman, 1st overall draftee in the 2014 QMJHL draft
Hey man just wanted to say congrats on the 10 years and that I wouldn't be where I am today without all the hard work you put in for me! Definitely didn't go unnoticed and look forward to hopefully working with you again soon!

“Hey mali,
"Just wanted to send ya a message saying thanks for the summer of training. I had a blast! Meant to send ya this a week ago but I forgot about it. I did awesome on the fitness testing. Won the beep test and pushups and did really good in situps too. Made an impression so that’s what I wanted to do.
-- Jake
"Hey thanks Again coach. I really appreciate you helping me. I got much stronger and I can feel it. Cya soon!"
-- Ty
"It was great. Exactly what i was looking for. Ashley has great coaching skills."
I really want to thank you for all you've done for me this past year. You have changed my attitude towards exercise in a positive manner. In fact, I would say that I love working out . It's become the highlight of my week. You have such a gentle and encouraging nature that it would be impossible to fail with you at my side. It's really refreshing meeting someone like you that has my back and believes in my exercise abilities. You're the best. I look forward to many more classes in the future.
-- Heather
Once again I don't think you have any idea what you've done - you just made a whole room full of women feel like rock stars!! We each came with different goals and reasons for being there and every one of us left having made significant strides toward those goals (and a bunch of new friends) and YOU made that happen!!! You have a gift. Thanks for sharing it with the likes of us.
“Wonderful! Great instruction, very knowledgeable. Wish there was more!”
“I appreciated the attention to form”
This was my first workout class and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Malachi was always positive, encourage and friendly.
Malachi is an amazing instructor! He takes the time to know each of his students, their strengths, weaknesses, challenges, and goals. He listens!
“He motivates and encourages us, never demanding or degrading. Malachi is why I come and why I’ll be back. “
"Hi,
Many thanks Ashley for all your patience, great advice and technical skills/ expertise.
You made it all fun and positive and were able to comfortably work with the different capabilities of each attendee. I think I feel confident enough now to tackle the big weight machine in my new apartment gym and in other gyms I may visit."

“…then there's Malachi...I can't say enough good things about this young man. I was encouraged by a friend to join the Toughen Up program [at the Canada Games Centre] last fall and did so somewhat reluctantly. I was so pleased with the measurable improvements in strength, endurance and flexibility I was able to make in those 11 weeks with Malachi's guidance. I am currently attending the second session of Toughen Up and now faithfully attend his Friday morning HIIT class. What I think is great about Malachi's style is that, although he also o works with elite athletes, he is just as encouraging and supportive of those of us who are just trying to improve and maintain a healthy lifestyle. His knowledge of and attention to proper technique is also very much appreciated and I'm sure goes a long way toward injury prevention...LOVE this program and Malachi as a trainer. Just signed up for the 3rd session. This has made me fall in love with fitness for the first time in my life!
