I can't say I've had a bad experience here yet. But nothing great either. Fair size and it normally is not very packed which is a nice thing. It has everything you could need really, but I'm guessing not some of the perks of the big chains (multiple locations, more organized classes). The gym does offer various classes throughout the month, but I would have liked to see weekly classes at a set time, as opposed to once or twice a month classes. Haven't taken any yet as a result.

Clean facilities , nice looking, and very nice changing rooms. Decent set of workout equipment, some more dated than others. TV's on mute in the cardio room, and normally there's enough Ellipticals and Treadmills free. Haven't seen them all taken at the same time yet. Lots of bikes as well.

The upstairs has the workout room for lifting (and a similar sized room for working on legs).

If you're a woman- this gym will probably be great for you. They have a huge womens area (which I barely noticed until I realized it wasn't a mirror on the wall, but a window).

Also it's a very LGBT friendly gym.

Last thing... I didn't like their sales approach, it felt very sales-like and unwelcoming. They offer you 'towel service' for $10 a month extra, and when you decline they say 'Have it for free'. Ha... that's because everyone gets it for free. They just get some to pay a wasted monthly $10. Kind of a bad approach to take with your clients.

Overall it's a yes for me. It will get you in shape and looking good if you want it to. Way cheaper than Extreme too. (seems like under $500 for the year.).

Great Gymn very clean & Friendly with state of the Equipment. this is my second year now & i m loving it, before i had Memberships from all these Gymn Etc's Bally's, Gold Gymn, YMCA Good-Life & Extreme fitness they were Horrible over Crowded & Rude Staffs every where that Accopied most of the Equipment everyday for training they Clients plus after done using those Equipment all over the floors without cleaning or pick them up in the Area where suppose to be put back or belong, beside you have to deal with every day whenever Busy Hours with Annoying Rude People, on top of over Price & Total Rips off.

I cannot recommend this gym enough. From the minute I joined, I have NOTHING bad to say about it. I joined because I got a week's free trial. I didn't feel awkward or under obligation to join, which was refreshing after bad experiences with Goodlife (and what I felt was horrible customer service there). I have gotten to know several staff members, who I feel make a real effort to get to know members there. The hours are great, open very early on weekdays until 12 am, which is optimal for my work schedule. There is never a wait for equipment, there is plenty & it is well maintained. They also offer a variety of classes, although I haven't gotten around to taking any yet. They also feature personal trainers. I have had a session, I do not regularly have these, but I have not yet met a staff member that I did not like at this location.

The price is also right, and not a complete nightmare to figure out or get out of. The owner is approachable, and also seems to know many of the members.

This gym is 100% in my top 10 places in Toronto. I also love that it is local- I find very little "pressure," from others in terms of fitness, even among those who are professional. Other members have been very helpful in the past when I was first joining.

Even if I move elsewhere in the city, I would come to the area just for this gym.

(Very accessible from Wellesley and Bloor subways!)
