Whether it’s designing innovative classes, owning and operating elite fitness studios, or training pro athletes and celebrities, George Chaker has been cultivating some of the best talent in the industry since the 90’s. After starting out as a trainer, George founded Diesel Fitness in 2001. The gym was the first of its kind in Toronto; a large-scale, full service boutique fitness facility that set a new standard in design and overall experience for fitness studios in Canada at the time. Diesel Fitness quickly became the place for Toronto’s elite to work out and be seen, and a hub for Toronto’s fitness community. More recently George was the first hire at Sweat and Tonic, building their business and brand from the ground up. As the Fitness Director, George personally recruited and trained instructors for 3 HIIT, Yoga and Ride studios, designing and scheduling classes, with an emphasis on providing the highest quality of fitness experiences. Along the way, George has taught private and group classes in virtually every fitness discipline. And whether it’s a small group, a large class, or managing a team of fitness professionals, George brings his good nature and positive energy to every day, and every minute of every class. As a team spirited manager, George is a proud advocate for inclusivity. For George, these are more than words. They are the foundation for creating a positive and supportive environment for team members and guests alike.
