Diego Dias and Mariana Freitas at Life Studio.
Near Lonsdale Quay in North Vancouver is a fitness haven that is redefining what it means to train with purpose, intention, and personalized care.
Life Studio isn’t just another gym—it’s a private, supportive space created for those seeking real results and a deeper connection to their health and wellness journey.
A Vision Rooted in Passion and Purpose
Life Studio is run by North Vancouver couple Diego Dias and Mariana Freitas with a clear mission in mind: To create an alternative to crowded gyms and impersonal training programs. “We wanted to offer a place where people could train without distractions, receive personalized attention, and feel truly supported in their wellness journey.”
Life Studio Head Coach Diego holds a Kinesiology diploma from Capilano University and a range of certifications, including Olympic Weightlifting, Powerlifting, and CrossFit.
Specializing in weightlifting techniques, Diego empowers clients to enhance their quality of life, from athletes with diverse sports backgrounds to individuals seeking overall well-being.
His passion for strength training, body movement, and recovery has shaped him into a dedicated High-Performance Coach, committed to helping clients achieve their peak potential and become the best versions of themselves.
More Than a Workout – A Holistic Approach to Wellness
What makes Life Studio stand out? It’s their full-circle philosophy on health. From the moment you walk in, it’s clear this is a space built for transformation—not just physically, but mentally and emotionally.
The studio integrates personal training, physiotherapy, massage therapy, and nutrition coaching, offering clients a comprehensive approach to well-being. Programs are fully customized, beginning with in-depth movement assessments and evolving with the client’s progress. Whether you’re recovering from injury, starting fresh, or training for peak performance, Life Studio meets you where you are.
“We focus on functional movement, longevity, and sustainable results. “It’s about building lasting habits, confidence, and a sense of community.” — Mariana Freitas
A Supportive Culture Like No Other
Step inside Life Studio, and you’ll feel the difference immediately. Clients aren’t just numbers here—they’re part of a connected, uplifting community.
“Our goal is for clients to feel like they’re part of a team that celebrates progress together,” says the team. “Unlike big gyms, where people can feel lost or overwhelmed, we create a space where everyone feels valued, encouraged, and empowered,” says Mariana.
This welcoming energy is echoed by Life Studio client Devon Platomondon, who shared a glowing testimonial: “The first day I walked in… I was received with a warm welcome as if we were already long-time friends. The gym was IMMACULATE—clean, orderly, and well cared for. Diego did my assessment and was incredibly knowledgeable, taking time to explain everything. I’ve been going five days a week for just over two months, and my results have been remarkable. I feel better and stronger than I have in a long time.”
Personalization at the Core
Every aspect of the Life Studio experience is tailored to the individual. Their expert trainers adapt every workout to align with a client’s mobility, lifestyle, and goals. But what truly sets the team apart is their approachability and depth of care.
“Our trainers are not just knowledgeable—they’re empathetic, patient, and results-driven. They take the time to understand each client’s needs and challenges, offering guidance that goes beyond the session.” — Mariana Freitas
This commitment is also reflected in their introductory offer for new personal training clients—a 3-month program with up to five sessions per week, weekly check-ins, and nutritional guidance for a flat rate of $1,395. It’s a high-touch experience designed to jumpstart sustainable change.
