The Merk Experience

As the co-owner of an Athletic Edge Training Centre and assistant coach of CanadaTopflight Academy West in Calgary, I've had the pleasure of knowing Merk since he was in grade 9. Witnessing Merk's journey from a young boy to a determined man has been nothing short of inspiring. His transformation is a testament to his unyielding drive and will to compete.

Merk possesses remarkable leadership abilities, and his journey from motivation to discipline is a story worth sharing. Merk's spirit of competition is something anyone would benefit from experiencing.

Under Merk's tutelage, even tapping into a fraction of his drive can greatly enrich your athletic journey. But believe me, he has much more to offer than just his competitive spirit.

I've had the pleasure of knowing Isaiah since 7th grade, and throughout the years, he consistently stands out as one of the most dedicated and hardworking individuals I've encountered. His ability to maximize not only his own potential but also that of those around him is truly commendable. Having trained with him for years, l've personally witnessed and greatly benefited from his commitment. Isaiah isn't just an exceptional trainer and athlete; he's also a genuinely great person who strives to help others achieve greatness and reach their full potential. I have full confidence that he will excel as a fantastic personal trainer.

I have had the privilege to both coach and now coach with Isaiah and there is one word that I would describe him with."Heart", the way he treats people, the way he handles trials and the way he attacks his dreams all comes back to his big heart. If you want your athlete/child to grow both in their athletic ability and character, I believe he the trainer for you. Because at the end of the day, the most important thing is "To always play with heart.
