My Childhood
Growing up, I didn't always have a good physique with a great smile, exuding confidence, and living with a healthy gut. In fact, totally the opposite.
My childhood was difficult as many others. Even though I was very active growing up (playing soccer and basketball), there was something missing. Well let me be honest, there were a lot of things missing.
Buck teeth, bullied by classmates, and a huge stutter lead to insecurity, a lack of self-esteem which lead to avoiding most social/public situations.
I felt alone in my childhood. No one to talk to. No one to help me.
Food was my escape. Unhealthy, greasy, fatty foods. Pizza, KFP, burgers and ice cream were my best friends.
Hello there,
I’m Ivan Miskiv, an Online Health & Fitness Coach who helps husbands lose belly fat and gain energy without dieting and extreme workouts.
For over 15 years now, I’ve been helping clients realize the importance of developing sustainable habits to enjoy and achieve the goals and lifestyle they’ve always wanted.
Some of you know me as Mr. Fitness, a charming guy born & raised in Toronto with roots in Ukraine and Croatia who loves cycling, ice cream, and spending the day at the beach. But among my clients, I’m mostly known as a laid-back, down-to-earth relatable coach who is easy and friendly to talk to.

My Transformation
My own transformation was so impactful that it changed my life forever and in doing so, inspired me to help people like you achieve your own transformation.
It all began with an injury when I tore ligaments in my ankle playing basketball. Little did I know at that time that it was going to be the moment that was going to change my life forever. Becoming a professional basketball player was looking more like a dream than a reality.
Determined to get better, not only physically but mentally and emotionally, I found my new escape. A local YMCA. I went there religiously. Didn’t have a clue what I was doing but felt it was the right environment. For the first time in my life, I felt part of a community and began interacting with others.
Began talking to people, gaining confidence not only in my physical abilities but how I spoke and how I acted.
My Method
My method for a total body and lifestyle transformation is focused on 3 key pillars: Movement, Nutrition, and Mindset.
I begin from the ground up, redeveloping your roots, roots that can withstand any challenges/pressures you face.
I focus on the solutions, not the problems.
Working closely together, I will teach and guide you step by step on how to replace current habits with new, stronger habits that fit into the context of your current lifestyle.
Not only will you see success in how you move, eat and think but in every other aspect of your life. You will look and feel completely different. You will see the world through a different lens.
My Mission
To empower people to develop simple, healthy, sustainable habits and live a life with purpose and meaning
My Core Values
Passionate
Being physically active and living a healthy lifestyle is just who I am.
I practice what I preach by spending most of my time experimenting, searching, testing out better ways to move, healthier ways to eat, and more positive ways to think.
Doing this has helped me help others do the same in the best, most effective way possible.

Growth Mindset
We all need to acknowledge and embrace our imperfections, not shy away from them.
We need to cultivate grit. Seek approval from within, not from others and what they think.
Believe and value the process not the end result! Growth happens when we learn from our mistakes, focus on consistent effort, and enjoy the process
