Personal trainers in Ottawa?

Not exactly related to flying, but FT's been a great resource for a lot of strange things, so I figured I'd give it a shot.

I need a good personal trainer in the downtown/Glebe area (or at least one that I can get to easily by bus). Does anyone know a good personal trainer that they'd recommend?

What I'm looking for:

Yes I'm a girl, no I don't want some wussy "toning" program. I used to be very into powerlifting and loved it. That plus running are the only things I truly enjoy in the gym - I want to hurt for two days after I leave. I want someone who's into power lifting and strength training. Anyone who shows me a pink plastic weight will have it thrown at them.

I've sadly gotten way out of shape due to a combination of factors (work stress, extensive travel, family emergencies, broken ankles, and just plain laziness), and I need to jumpstart myself back on the road to fitness.

I'm looking for a one month commitment as I'll actually be home gasp for a solid four weeks starting the end of this month. Ideally 3 - 4 times a week at their gym as I don't have one myself (see extensive travel above).
Price isn't TOO much of an object as I can claim a good chunk of it back through work, but I'm not going to spend thousands :P

I've sent out feelers to http://www.freeformfitness.ca and http://www.fitnessleaders.com, both found through the googles. If anyone's ever used them, I'd love to hear about it!
