This place is designed to suck-in over weight, middle aged women, who don't know the difference between a good fitness facility and a bad one - unless high end coffee and a large 'lounge' area impresses you, I'd stay away from this place. They really take advantage of women who don't know any better.


When I went in for the initial tour, I was told there was a membership 'cap' monthly, but I've then found out from an internal source, that this is a ridiculous marketing tool to lure unknowing potential members in ... There is no membership cap, and they have no limit as to how many members they sign up. It's a $$$ game.

None of there personal trainer's have Ontario recognized certification. They don't tell you that.

They also won't give you a trial period, to try out the facility ...

When I went to cancel my membership, the employee who happens to also be Christine's 'sister', got incredibly hostile and angry, and just wanted me to leave, without getting my questions answered including when I'd get my refund!
She couldn't even provide me with a receipt of cancellation! I was shocked, and overwelmed with the lack of professionalism.

The elaborate (tacky!!) gold spray painted 80's style statues, over the top flowered decor, and lack of resistance equipment emphasizes what Christine's Fitness is all about.

I recently joined this club - there is a 'no risk' guarantee which I think qualifies as a trial period to try out the facility. The first month - 30 days - are free and if you decide that the club is not right for you, you are not obligated to continue.

I have belonged to other gyms in the past and did my research before I joined this one. It's very clean and I feel comfortable there and I don't find the interior tacky at all! My asssessment is so far, so good - I am already seeing results!

The narcissistic glamour shots of Christine herself all over the place were enough to convince me to look elsewhere for my fitness needs.

For a real one on one personal training experiance try Bodies 2 Envy Fitness Studio. This studio is located at Islington @ Steeles. In fact the results are so good that many have even competed in fitness shows. Most placing very well. This studio offers some really good one on one and group classes. Give them and try and you be the judge! 416 834 1701

This is spam. If she went for a tour, how did she get a
membership that she cancelled?

I'll back up Mary Smith. I had my own horror story with Christine's. Worst personal trainers I've come across anywhere and impossible to cancel.

Totally agree with other comments here. It's a completely inadequate gym with barely any equipment and only 2 or 3 showers. That might work actually since that's about the biggest group of people i've seen in there at one time. The interior looks like a bad 80-ies East European pick up bar. Went there for a complimentary group class and was hounded by an aggressive old lady who gave me a tour an wanted me to sign up for a month of over prised classes. It's the biggest waste of money.
