Kris Simpson

Kris Simpson is a Certified Personal Trainer, Performance Nutrition Coach and the owner of Bodies by Design Fitness Studio in Woodbridge, Ontario.  He holds the titles of Mr. Drug-Free Canada 1999, Mr. Drug-Free Ontario 1998, Mr. Olympus 1996 and Mr. New York State 1995.

At an early age Kris understood what his passion in life was and his journey began in early high school with basement workouts, which led to 10 years of hardcore training before becoming a Natural Competitive Bodybuilder.  He then went on to be a National Bodybuilding Champ and carried the message of drug-free sport into schools by making regular guest appearances and speaking engagements.

After finishing a Business Diploma he started his own personal training studio, Bodies By Design, in 1998.  With a team of more than 20 personal trainers, fitness specialists and nutrition experts, Kris has helped thousands of people design their bodies and change their lives.  His team has awarded many of their clients with the title Client Star Profile and they have gone on to be featured and be an ambassador of Bodies By Design.

As Kris developed in the industry, he became recognized as a fitness guru and his expertise and wisdom became in high demand.  He was then featured as a spokesperson for health and fitness on CP24, City TV, A-Channel, E!, TSC,  Rogers TV, and the Toronto Sun, along with local newspapers and magazines.

During the early years in business, with the help of his team, he brought Bodies By Design from the small pioneering personal training studio it was at conception, into a 10,000 square foot fully equipped facility during two expansions in 1999 and 2001.

Kris’ new business focus is bridging the gap between physical rehabilitation and personal fitness training.  Physio By Design operates with a team of Physiotherapists and assistants who offer treatments alongside Bodies by Design’s Personal Training Team to deliver the fitness programs to their clients.  The benefits are two-fold as clients achieve pain relief and experience weight loss and toning.

Kris’ next goal is to design and bring health and fitness programs to adolescent children who need to increase their activity levels and learn the ropes of living a proper lifestyle in their early years so they may bring these skills into their adulthood.

Kris is recognized in his community for co-founding the annual event I Wish Ferrari which started in 2005.   This non-monetary charity event raises spirits for special needs children by giving them the ride of a lifetime in a Ferrari sports car.

One thing is certain: Kris is on a fitness crusade.  He spreads the health and fitness gospel by dedicating his life to this cause.  As he sets his sights on the future, his crusade will continue by sharing his vision of the health and fitness experience with his clients, children and Canada at large.  As his motto states, he will continue helping the people he touches – “Inspire to Aspire.”
