About The Team
Gentle Motion was started by Moshe Schwartz, certified personal trainer, nutritionist and Fascial Stretch Therapist. His team of trainers are dedicated to providing effective, efficient, and, most importantly, safe exercise programs, customized to each individual’s needs.
Specializing in injury rehab and prevention, and with a dedicated focus on post natal fitness, seniors’ health and fitness, and fascial stretch therapy (FST), Moshe and his team can help improve range of motion, mood, and flexibility through their personalized fitness programs. The team strives to help people of all health and medical backgrounds find an exercise program that is appropriate for them, to help manage conditions such as ageing, chronic pain, mood disorders and much more.
Moshe Schwartz – Owner and Senior Trainer
Moshe has been interested in fitness and nutrition from an early age, having been active in his local sports community as a child. Following 5 years in the corporate world, Moshe longed for his days playing baseball, volleyball, and basketball, and made the leap to a career in fitness. Moshe studied to become a certified personal trainer in Toronto and has never looked back, continuing to train in all aspects of nutrition, stretch therapy, and injury recovery. Gentle Motion was launched as Moshe identified a significant gap in the market for fun, interactive, and challenging workouts which could be accessed by anyone, regardless of their current health or ability. When not creating gentle workout routines, Moshe can be found playing Sudoku, reading, and spending time with his wife and daughters.
