So I saw Shlomo tonight on St. Patrick's Day and while I may have had 3 beer, apparently he and his coked Hells's friend had a wee bit too man rails and was black eyed nasty: forcing me over the fence with a badgered lip and once I had come around the block of escape, peered onto another bloke who had looked as if his eye was taken out by a meterorite. One very weird and scary man.

I actually caled 911 because it made no sense but convinced by friends to move on as it was SP Day. Rest assured, I saw them hunting for me in the parking lot and they were not drunk, just vicious and drugged out.

Every wrongdoing will catch up with the evil doer. Sometimes nothing is best to do anthing at all.

So here I am looking around for a new gym after spending 18 months at Good Life Fitness.

This was a welcome laugh reading through all the comments... both funny and sad really.  Was the magazine hype and celebtrity references to help Diesel get through it all? Makes these "best of" lists be it in TO L, NOW or the next "it" rag to read, simple greasing, be it $$ or other hard/soft currency.

Maybe I'm better off where I am...]]>

I was a former Diesel member that got relocated to Totum on King. As of May 31st, Totum is not honoring the agreement. Apparently Diesel has not paid Totum. Josh and George or no where to be found. Rumor has it that there will be no new location... They are a bunch of crooks]]>

What a great club. I didn't realize just how innovative it was until it closed. There really is nothing else like it. I hope these guys do re-open. If not, it will be a shame. I can't work out at totum or extreme. Its just not the same. I'm reading about these people that feel burned. Just remember, most gyms just close without warning....at least there was an effort made to arrange membership at another spot. ]]>

Actually ...  they're crooks.  Before the gym closed, my girlfriend tried and tried to quit and every time she tried, there was another reason she couldn't.  Many times the manager couldn't be reached and he never called back.  Then they were out of the proper forms.  It went on and on.  Then in March, they locked their doors.  Yet, they still take money off her credit card ? and now AM EX is threatening to sue them for the money back.  She's not the only who they are taking advantage off.  We, too, will be looking to find out who is behind "the Diesel Team" and get her money.  But people be warned: they're fraudsters.   ]]>

I think that's a poor excuse, if this was foreseen and antoher gym was actually going to be opened, it would have been a smooth transition. Either they are poor managers or the club is not reopening. The bad news is now Totum is flooded with the "Diesel crowd" and quite frankly, if I wanted to go to Diesel for the "scene" I would not have gotten a membership at Totum. On that note, I really hope Diesel does open up again!]]>

I'm sad to see the gym close but can't say I'm shocked.  I joined in the 1st year they opened and really enjoyed the first few years I was a member.  Unfortunately, in my 3rd year, I felt that the club was not being maintained to the extent it once was.  The locker rooms started to get a little gross and repairs took a lot longer to be performed than they had in the past.  For $120+ per month, I expected more so I cancelled my membership.  This was a negative experience as they continued to charge me for several months after the paperwork was complete and despite E-Mails from the owner to the contrary, I was never paid back.  This place was great in it's day but unfortunately lacked the proper management to succeed.]]>

AGREE - I'm glad Diesel closed - what a joke of a gym; mismanaged, overpriced, superficial and phony.  BTW - What are the stupid Initiation fees for (administrative charges...my ass) - and why would you need a 12 mnth commitment?  WAKE-UP - If you're club was actually any good you wouldn't have to force people to commit they would just want to renew.  There's a tagline for any fitness business that actually believes in their product/service/brand.  Put some skin in the game and you might actually be worthwhile investing in.

Can't say I am sorry to see it close either - something might be in the works - who knows, would not surprise me.  Rumour is they are going to the Spoke Club, which is a members only club, so VERY hard to believe that anyone will be allowed to use the facilities there without paying the initiation fee which numbers in the thousands.  I think its time for a good down to earth gym to open up in the area - and it might be on its way...]]>

It's unfortunately that Diesel is closing -- but Stretch fitness on Bloor and Avenue (right across from the ROM on top of Gabby's restaurant)www.stretchfitness.ca is a beautiful boutique gym that offers personal training and tons of fitness and dance classes. If you liked Diesel, you'll love Stretch. It's a wonderful environment to work out in and the people are amazing!! Check it out .. it's Toronto's best kept secret!]]>

This gym wasn't for those who actually wanted to work out, anyways. 

You can only sell so many over priced 'smoothies'.

... as a competitive figure competitor, this place was a joke.

and completely overpriced.

gooooooodbye diesel! You won't be missed! ]]>

Whether you liked the place or not, this is a very classy way to go.

Unlike the majority of fitness club closings.
