Being a guy who learned to play squash in my twenties, with little to no instruction, I learned to…read moredo a lot of things... the wrong way. About 5 years into my squash career, I got some lessons, fixed a bunch of things and slowly got better. I had been able to take my game to a relatively strong level of squash, but I just couldn't seem to break into feeling comfortable at the A level. With some very subtle tweaks, and some not so subtle, Shahier was able to break down inefficiencies in both my swing and my movement. After working on and applying my newly acquired knowledge, I saw massive improvements in my ability to hit the ball with much greater accuracy, weight of shot, and (when needed) effortless power. I can't say enough about my experiences at the Squash Revolution camp. I've attended the Toronto camp 3 years in a row and plan on a fourth. I learn something new and invaluable every time. One on one coaching, great drills, match strategy, footwork, technical and to end off, you get to have Shahier grind you to exhaustion in game play. Shahier is a former top PSA player -his squash skills and knowledge are at the highest level. See you next summer.

Shahier teams up with Amr Shabana, Greg Gaultier, Shona Kerr (Wesleyan) & the rest of the team. Unbelievable experience to move from a good to great player. My son also takes lesson from Shahier at Squash Revolution, Ryerson. Great advice on drills, mental prep, physical training & match play. Shahier has a positive energy & outlook to improve weaknesses & continue to build strengths. Incredibly motivating, smart, kind & funny. A superb mentor & coach for our son!

There are a lot of fitness options, and although I am not a tennis or squash player, my buddies seem to enjoy the courts.

Extremely disappointing experience…read more I've been a member for a while, and the overall experience has become extremely disappointing. The gym consistently fails to open on time, despite having advertised operating hours. This has happened repeatedly, sometimes by 15-20 minutes, and it's incredibly frustrating to show up expecting to work out only to find the doors still locked. On top of that, the gym is frequently dirty and poorly maintained. Equipment and common areas often don't feel properly cleaned, which is unacceptable for a facility people are paying a membership fee to use. What makes the situation even worse is the management. Communication has been inconsistent, and the attitude I've received has often come across as rude, dismissive, and inconsiderate. Rather than taking legitimate concerns seriously, issues are often downplayed instead of being addressed. Members are paying for a service and should be able to expect basic things like a gym that opens when it says it will, a clean facility, and professional, respectful management. Unfortunately, this gym has repeatedly fallen short in all three areas. Management needs to take member concerns seriously and actually address these ongoing issues instead of dismissing them.

The Granite Club, Toronto The facilities are the best in the…read morecity in my opinion, but here is my brief synopsis as a Granite Club member currently in good standing. We are told never to say anything disparaging about the Granite Club by the club with repercussions being suspension or expulsion, which is probably why you don't hear about any reviews online and thus I would prefer not to be identified. The Granite Club employees are expertly trained to greet you professionally and then you will have to wait an average of 40 minutes to get served your food. The Wait Staff does not receive tips, and are unionized so they're not incentivised to serve you and largely disappear when you want something. This angers patrons and they complain amongst one another, often. What's worse is that you cannot get a dining table during busy times, because reservations will take them all up, however, there are no repercussions for not coming to your reservation, so people just book and then- don't show. I have been refused a table at an empty restaurant- can you imagine? How does the restaurant stay in business you may wonder? They don't care, less people eating, means less service, and the more earlier the staff -head home. However, I must say that the food is decent but slightly overpriced. You will not get any better at sports being at the Granite Club, it's social sports mostly focused around the after sports beer and wine events. As a member, I had to join additional clubs in order to improve my curling, squash and tennis. You will get calls and emails to come to social events in support of drinking alcohol and having a good time, but nobody will reach out to you to play tennis, squash, curling, and to other sports- it's very insular. As an example they have over 12000 members and less than 50 in the curling section, so most of the time the curling rink sits vacant. The upside of this is you can often get a tennis or squash court whenever you like, however, don't be fooled: They host tournaments and social events where you to pay to play with pros and they close all of the courts. Likewise, if it rains they close the tennis courts as quickly as possible and the employees disappear; maybe they head home. Same for the Pro-Shop and the Gym, if nobody is using it they close them early and send the employees home, probably with pay, and you can show up and wonder why the hours have changed for the pro-shop or why the tennis courts are closed when there is no rain and the response will be you didn't read the Granite News or we have a new policy in place... They say the programs are very good for kids, and indeed they have programs for kids- I do not have children, so I cannot comment. The hurry up and wait mentality you see an airport is often in place. Lines everywhere for food, slow service, programs booked up 10 minutes after they are announced. There are a few gems no-doubt and a few professionals that get sports and how beneficial it is for the human spirit and health in general, but by in-large the members and the employees are equally disparaged from my review. To suggest it's run like a government office is more of an insult to government. Although the incentive systems are upside-down and the place is being run by the management in concert with the unions with the members being shunned- this place will never fail. Think about it 12000 members and only 50 of them registered to curl? Mostly people just join and never use the club except maybe for a meal when their wife is out of town. So you get this big presentation on the facilities to join and pay a rather large fee and then nothing...no follow-up, no training and no service at the dining areas. Why am I venting? Because nobody listens to members at the Granite Club anymore: you get little cards in the mail, and they just ignore you.

Seriously I e driven past many times and never went in. The grounds are truly special, with magnificent mature trees and a peaceful atmosphere that feels worlds away from the city, despite its urban location. The clubhouse itself is elegant and inviting, featuring soft colors and beautiful spaces that can accommodate a variety of events. Like most private clubs, hosting an event here would likely require sponsorship from a member. The venue offers ample space for weddings, luncheons, celebrations, and other gatherings. There are lovely outdoor areas, as well as an outdoor pool and, I believe, tennis and pickleball courts. The staff was professional, attentive, and welcoming throughout our visit. The food was delicious and well prepared. Another plus is the convenient on-site parking. Overall, this is a beautiful and unique venue that offers a tranquil setting for special events and gatherings.

I foresee us using the Club to entertain out-of-towners and for dinner on special occasions. I will all try to pick up paddle or pickleball at some point. I imagine it's also a good place to network for business (not for me) and to meet people you wouldn't necessarily meet in your existing network.

We chose to have a buffet style and went through the possible menu options with the event planner. The event planner was very thorough and helped make our vision come to life.

Not a lot of people for a Sunday dinner which I was still surprised that we couldn't make reservations for 5:30 pm. At the end, the most they had was 6 tables with guests. So basically, quite empty. While we waited for our food, we were presented with complimentary chips and a dip, house made since it was still warm. Crunchy yummy!! My hubby had their burger with a salad. And he said it was pretty damn good!!! I had the eggplant Parmesan but sans the cheese. The two eggplant pieces were large and the pasta was cooked right. Smothered with lots of tomato sauce. However, I was surprised it came in a bowl instead of a plate. So indeed the presentation could be better. Overall, the taste was there and I was a happy Cat. Too bad I didn't have room for dessert. I would have loved to try their chocolate avocado cake. Sounds interesting!? Moreover, White Oaks Resort is a very nice place to stay at if you are around the Niagara-on-the-lake or Niagara Falls area. ** Don't forget to take a stroll at the back of the resort. Very calm and relaxing. They have a pond full of goldfish. Starbucks and McD is across from it so hop over for any snacks.
