About Us

We really love helping people. That is our passion. When we started in the mid-1990s, we were dissatisfied with the type and quality of fitness experiences and facilities that existed. We were motivated by the potential to provide a much more complete and improved approach to helping clients. Our academic experience and our inherent traits that focus on helping clients, not selling to clients, were the foundation for what continues today.

At Totum we believe that fitness and wellness are for everyone. Diversity is our heritage and our future. Totum celebrates people of all abilities, races, genders, sexual orientations, body types, religions, ages, and cultures. We are committed to inclusion. 

When you become a part of the Totum community we want you to always feel comfortable and safe simply being yourself. Your unique goals and challenges are things that we care about. Diversity drives us to be better, understand more and helps us continue on our learning journey. 

The Totum Approach honours the unique traditions, languages, practices, and values brought into our community by our team and our clients’ unique human spirit and diverse physical capabilities.

Our Community Is What Makes Us Whole

At totum, we love a team-oriented approach! Leveraging the expertise of many for the benefit of individual clients is at our core. Our belief is that an interdisciplinary approach to a client’s wellness will produce optimal results. Our approach is not as typical as our fitness and rehabilitation components overlap, thereby improving the quality of both.

As many clients of ours have commented, our science, customer service, and one-on-one approach sets the environment for rapid improvements.

At totum, we want to help you improve your life.

Our Founders

In 1995, Tim and Stacy Irvine moved from the prairies, where they grew up, to Toronto with the hopes of continuing their education at the doctorate level. Luckily for Tim, he fell into personal training where he, and Stacy, would soon become managers and co-owners of what would evolve into Totum. The philosophy and identity of Totum have been greatly influenced by Tim and Stacy’s love of athletics and passionate belief that everyone will benefit from a healthy active lifestyle in their own unique way.

Why totum?

At totum, we truly believe we offer downtown Toronto’s best active lifestyle and wellness experiences. Our physiotherapists have over 40 years of combined experience and are backed by glowing reviews. Our goal when designing our locations was to create an environment where people would be inspired to come into the space to train, join a great class, get treated, and learn more about their overall wellness.

Meet The Team

Our team has gained a reputation for excellence by creating successful outcomes for thousands of patients. We are an integrated, professional group that leverages the expertise of each other to produce the outcomes our patients are looking for. While many clinics have practitioners treating multiple patients at one time, at Totum, you will visit with the specialist and no one else.
