This design is steller! You obviously know how to keep a reader amused.
Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my 
own blog (well, almost...HaHa!) Wonderful job.
I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more than that,
how you presented it. Too cool!]]>

ATTN to anyone buying training at any of these gyms -when deciding to purchase, do not be afraid to ask the gym. Out of this $80 i am paying for each session, how much is actually going to the trainer? This answer will greatly help you understand the quality of work you can expect. There are exceptions to this but for the most part, anyone getting paid below 20 bucks is either crappy or getting shafted. Extreme was known for paying their trainers $15-17 and charging $75 per session...so you see why whiners like W.G kind of don't make sense to defend the gyms. Trainers are PEOPLE. Clients are people. I could give a fuck about Patch or the stupid owners of extreme]]>

lol he sure sounds like he was a manager. he even tries making it sound like going to the 'unpaid' meetings are good for building your character. Also, telling others to go and get a real job. Last time I checked, real jobs actually pay you for meetings. What kind of loser comments are these W.G. You were obviously in management as you do not seem to understand nobody wants to give themselves away from free. Is the gym going to pay trainers for free...I think not...so why should anything be the other way around...GO BACK TO SLEEP YOU CORPORATE ROBOT. you probably worked at a gym as one of those fat asses we laugh about trying to figure out what the hell you are doing working at a gym]]>

This is quite a douchebag-like comment...you must have been a manager at the now dead EXTREME.....obviously you have no clue what trainers, well good ones, in Toronto have to put up with at these pathetic chain gyms like GL or EX. You mention the trainers contributing in some way to the building etc....isnt that the reason gyms only pay their trainers 30% if that of what the client is paying the gym for sessions...you forgot to mention that. That is by far enough of a contribution considering that client is also paying for a membership. Just another excuse from someone who had experience shitting on the people below him..thats all you sound like. You say there are many places for trainers to make business here. How when every single gym in Toronto operates in this way. To all the people wanting to buy training through the gym...if it costs $75+ for sessions from a gym, your trainer is lucky to see $25 of that. Ask the trainer quietly if they can come to your condo or train somewhere else privately. So to hear comments like this  saying the trainers need to do more BLAH BLAH BLAH...how about giving us your salary and we will do more....WE ARE TRAINERS NOT SLAVES. YOU as a gym need US...we do not need you. ]]>

king west goodlife: dumbells go to only 70lbs.  When i asked why the guy behind the counter said " noone needs more than 70lbs, and if they get dropped it makes less noise"

ok.. um.  I NEED MORE THAN 70 lbs, and if i put more than 30lbs onto an olympic bar it weighs more than 70lbs and u don't seem to be complaining about those being dropped.

terrible gym]]>

I'm a member at liberty village goodlife. I live nearby, I work odd hours, and I often workout late (midnight-ish) so it works well for me for the time being. If you workout 2pm-9pm like most people, be prepared to wait for equipment, and deal with messy change rooms. People say the staff is friendly, i wouldn't know i don't talk to them, but the young lady that sold me my membership didn't know what a squat rack was (they have 3). Goodlife also has a track record for generally being a shitty company, just look up their wikipedia page and if that's not enough you can also find tons of complaints from former members. Gyms #2-4 for the most part are all quality facilities with tons of amenities that are all incredibly over-priced. ]]>

On the topic of best gym?? That is such a subjective question. What do you like? What's important to you? Do you care about the colour of the walls, how big the change rooms are, or how friendly the blonde is at the desk? If you do then pick a gym that appeals to you. Personally  I like smaller, loud gyms with people that are there to train and are not concerned with what I did last night. I could care less what you're squatting and I don't want yoga mats or spinning classes.  Some people want a social environment and are there to see what others are doing, or wearing or how some girl is working her glutes. Good gym, bad gym - whatever - find where you're comfortable and go on a consistent basis. Share what you like and why you like a particular place -but please don't tell me one gym is better than the other cause you have no idea what everyone else likes!!!!

Well I've been on both sides of it - running the business and working as a trainer, and have heard all the arguments - so in response to your questions:

- Did you contribute to the costs of building that gym or anything in it? NO, but you're happy to use the equipment yourself and to train your clients there (which is how you pay your bills) - so you need to contribute in some way - is watching the desk or helping keep the gym clean such a hardship? Who knows maybe if you were friendlier and showed an actual interest in seeing people succeed you might meet people at the front that will eventually become great clients of yours?
- Do you want to be part of the gym - help create a culture of good health, learning and an enjoyable environment? If so then go to the meetings and be part of it - attitude wise and thought wise!
- Wow what a hardship hanging out at the gym. Are you kidding me - you can spend your day marketing yourself and what you do, while meeting new people. Stop being such an ass and realize what makes a great trainer. It's all about your approach and attitude and yours is terrible. Whine, whine, whine!
Are there bad gyms and managers - absolutely, but you have the freedom to ply your trade anywhere, at anytime with whomever you choose to train - yet you're bitching about having to watch the desk? Try getting a real job for awhile then come and bitch to us. Gyms, for the most part are not huge money makers and once you realize that, and start to appreciate the opportunity you have then maybe you'll start to contribute and make the place better. In doing so your business will grow exponentially. The best, and most successful trainers I've ever met are the ones leading the way and making the space they're in better, and have a genuine desire to see the business grow and flourish. ]]>

What happened to the fitness club that was located on the west side of Yonge Street between King and Adelaide. It was located on the second and third floors. I thought it was purchased by Goodlife. It seems Goodlife has moved across the street.  Has another fitness club opened up at this location.

This place was a great location since you didn't have to walk outside (it was accessible through the PATH). They also had towel, laundry and locker service.]]>

I've been a member of many gyms. System fitness in high park is by far the best bang for buck. It also has an extremely low douchebag population. West-end Y is the worst! Small workout area plus a high douchebag population dosent go well together.]]>

Personal training business is the only profession where employer will try to take advantage of the trainers. 
Here's a list of stuffs employers at fitness clubs will get you to do.

1) Watch the front desk - without pay.
2) You have to show up for meetings - without pay
3) Clean the gym floors - without pay
4) Be at the gym at all time, even when you don't have clients - without pay
5) Clean the bathroom - without pay



I'm sure there are many more

When are trainers going to stand up and say "enough"? When are trainers going to stand up and tell those fat ass lazy mof from Extreme for example to fcuk themselves?

Until then fellow trainers, you're just another dust in the wind.

I just quit Extreme Fitness Yonge-Dundas a month ago and was thinking about going back on my company's corporate plan.  This is the closest gym to me but it's pretty small, limited equipment, and I'm a small guy so I get pretty intimidated when the place is packed after work.  Does anyone have any suggestions for smaller, maybe more private gyms that are still affordable and within the Yonge and College area?]]>

Be careful with the YMCA. JOined there about 5 - 6 years ago. Got hooked on their Bars and Plates course and went about 3 times per week, and worked my way up from 35 lbs to 115 lbs, and then was told this week that I had advanced too far and could either leave, or drop back to 60 lbs. A fitness club that tells you that you have become too fit ? What is that all about ?? ]]>

The best workouts don't have to happen at big gym chains. In fact, the best personal trainers and fitness class leaders tend to distance themselves from big gyms. I found an amazing personal trainer, Marlene with Be-Fit Boot Camp outdoor classes and personal training (befitbootcamp@yahoo.ca) and she's affordable and amazing. Gears her workouts, even her outdoor boot camps at Eglinton Park in Toronto, to everyone's individual needs and goals. and she's so affordable: I only pay $45 for an hour of personal training, $50 for 4 classes. Gyms have a bad rap,although there are some good ones. ]]>

What about Ferris360- Yonge and Davisville. Clean, upscale, california inspired gym ?? It is only the best circuit classes in the city. Im sorry but bootcamps with their burpees and jumpsquats while your face is in mud and dog poo in parks, will not cut it. Big gyms with old equipment where thousands of people have sweat, is also out. This is the perfect solution. Please add Ferris360 to your list as the owner, Sarah Ferris, knows how to come on the scene with a beautiful, fun environment that is fit to be called, one of the best clubs in Toronto. ]]>

Bang Fitness should be on here.  It's pretty crazy that they're not.  The staff is great and clearly cares a lot. The training is tough but fun. I actually traveled a long way to train  there when I was living in Toronto and still make it a point to get down there whenever I come to visit.

You can take this for what it's worth. I was never a gym person but they got me into training and it stuck because I built such a great foundation over there. ]]>

I'm a member of the Extreme Fitness at Yonge and St Clair and I absolutely love it. It's spotless, the machines are new and in great working condition, there are a variety of classes included in the membership (including pilates with machines and all!), the trainers are so nice and not too expensive... And the best part of this Extreme Fitness is the crowd control. This location (the Delisle Club) is exclusive and it shows. I can take my membership card and go to any Extreme in the city, but members of other clubs can't come into ours. The peak times (between 4-730pm) are hardly considered busy in comparison to other fitness clubs I've been a member of (including Goodlife and Mayfair).

Hope this helps..]]>

DCC is fantastic. An amazing facility and a non-traditional gym with great trainers. I'm not sure how one would expect to stay neat and tidy while lifting tractor tires and kegs?! That's not the point, the place is for hardcore functional fitness. If a neat and tidy gym with standardized classes is what you're looking for, this is not the place for you. If you're willing to dig deep, sweat your brains out, get stronger and more fit, DCC is it, plus, the guys who run DCC are actually considerate, don't judge based on appearance and they care about injuries and long term healthy living.]]>

Actually, no - when I'm paying good money to work out somewhere, I don't expect the water to come from the bathroom. I would think that a gym can at least pay for a cooler by the work out equipment. ]]>

OH NO! Not a bathroom sink!??! Not like the water comes from the same place or anything. Jeez. How could they even expect you to use the SINK?!

Toronto Athletic Club is nice, but for what you pay it's absurd they don't have private showers. Really don't need to shower in the same prison stall as my boss and co-workers. I went for a trial workout and didn't go back.

I used to be a member of Yorkville Club but now work out at Totum since I moved downtown. I prefer Yorkville Club (bigger gym and nicer locker room) but Totum does everything right that it can in such a narrow space.]]>

I'm gonna give a shout-out to Trainer's Fitness at Bathurst/Bloor for being by far the most affordable option. There may not be a pool, sauna, or towel service, but the staff are very friendly, you get free classes and I've never ever had to wait for a machine. It's definitely an awesome place if you just want a place to work out and don't want to pay $80 a month for stuff you don't really need or use. Plus it's got a good mix of men and women and young people and older people.]]>

WTF people are saying the west-end YMCA is amazing?! The running track envelopes the cramped and crowded weight and resistance area, there's 2 BICEP CURL RESISTANCE MACHINES yet only 2 squat racks, when people are doing lat pull downs you can't walk from one side of the weight room to the other because there's no room, every one dying from the flu comes there to cough and breathe all over you, dbags have sat on a bench while I was on the sitting on the other bench, the mens locker room can only fit the width of one person (have fun when two guys wearing coats and carrying backpacks try to exit), you have to crawl over benches to get across the weight room, etc. Its a crappy gym and far inferior to the Central YMCA. The pre-reno west end ymca was better because at least the weight room had space...]]>

i use the extreme on richmond.  really enjoy the atmosphere. a lot of focused, motivated people in great shape but not intimidating.  the trainers are good people and aren't pushy.  i usually go sometime between 11am and 4pm, the evening crowd might be a different beast.]]>

Another shout out for West End YMCA.

And Extreme Fitness is shit. Their staff is more concerned with getting you snared in a contract, nickel and dimeing you for training sessions, and handing out flyers on the sidewalk, than anything else. Don't even ask about nutritionists.]]>

totum is nice inside but very small.  if you're not into classes, it's definitely not worth your money -- limited equipment that gets very full very quickly in all but non-peak hours (ie there's a whole TWO benches for the entire gym to use).]]>

GoodLife isn't bad but the recent influx of cross-fitters is annoying. When some guy is on one of the only bench presses doing sit-ups for 30 minutes straight or a sled-pull with a mat down the aisle so no one can pass it gets annoying. A couple of the trainers are total douches too. It's better at off-peak hours. The weekend is just a zoo. ]]>
