Our History
Body Maintenance is:
One hundred percent Canadian owned and operated- Body Maintenance Fitness was established in 1989, and founded by elite athlete and business entrepreneur George K, Nimako.
George has over twenty-five years of experience in the health and fitness industry, as a trainer and athlete- he played eight consecutive years in the Canadian Football League for the Toronto Argonauts, winner of two back-to-back Grey Cup Championships in 1996 and 1997- George is a force to be reckoned with!
When George first launched Body Maintenance, he designed and implemented the personal and performance training programs, taking them with him where ever he went. It was a little something he did on the side, while studying at Liberty University in Virginia, on a ‘full’ four-year football scholarship, and eventually while playing professional football- only to keep him in top athletic form, on and off the football field.
Many individuals in Georges’ social and professional circle were intrigued with his style of training, which resulted in his ability to stay in ‘playing form’ all the time. His in depth understanding of the human body and the benefits of physical fitness and recovery became very apparent to the people around him, and the people they knew. His natural ability to communicate extremely well with people of all walks of life, and his uncanny understanding of the human anatomy and the benefits of exercise, created the foundation to Body Maintenance- and the entity that it has grown to be today.
Georges’ successful twenty-five year run as an athlete, combined with his competitive and winning attitude and knowledge of how the body moves, along with the importance of recovery, has played an integral and important part in the success of his clients, some of who compete at professional levels as athletes, or aspire to.
For the non-athletes and fitness enthusiasts of all levels, George provides compassion and discipline. He has modified the work-outs to fit their goals, in a fun and safe manner. His high tempo and strength training regimes catapult client confidence, by taking them through different fitness phases, beyond limits they have ever experienced.
The demand for his results-oriented programs led to the opening of the first Body Maintenance Fitness Centre in 2005. Located at the border of Mississauga and Oakville- the fitness centre is not like any of your typical ‘big box’ gyms. The 24 hour facility is fully secured and monitored. The facility is equipped with high quality, state-of-the art equipment. Furthermore, George and Body Maintenance extend their alliances with high profile medical professionals in the G.T.A., to their members.
Over the years George has provided many personal trainers with the opportunity to learn his fitness programs under his tutelage, which in return benefit all members of the Body Maintenance Fitness Facility. George oversees, and continues to monitor the development of the personal and performance training programs today. He also continues to provide his clients with what they come to him for year after year- Results!
