I have been a member here for a long time but never wrote a review. A beautiful Health Club in the…read moreheart of the Financial District. The gym sits on the 36th floor and has a gorgeous view of Lake Ontario and the CN Tower and the Dome! Lots of equipments, Exercise bikes, Elliptical machines, Tread Mills and various other Weight Machines and assorted Bar Bells and Dumbbells. The Change room could be a little crowded during preCovid peak times. Now days quite empty as most members have not yet returned to downtown. It also has a Yoga Studio, Group Exercise classes and a full size swimming pool on the top floor. Steam room and Whirl pool in both Men and Women's Change rooms. Although I have never been in the Women's Change Room. It also has a Health Clinic staffed with many Physiotherapist, Registered Massage Therapist, Chiropractors , Athletic Specialists and Personal Trainers! It has a 5 star restaurant attached with a gorgeous view of the lake and the city. You don't have to be a member to eat at the restaurant or visit the Health Clinic for Treatments. Membership is expensive though, I pay $200 a month for use of the gym and assigned a tiny cube to store my Running Shoes and some gym clothes. The bigger lockers are for day use only . You can request a tour of the facility to get a better understanding of the facilities. If you mention my name, you might get some freebies... I usually go there 3 days a week in early mornings and it's almost like my own Private Gym. 10 minutes walk from my office, so there is no excuse for me not to go and get Fit!

I got to try out TAC for the day as my friend is a member. I was greeted at reception by a…read morewonderful lady who seemed to know all the members by name. Change rooms are fantastic and fully equipped with WHATEVER your heart desires - even personalized lockers! Run or gobble at their restaurant with a view. If you want to work out at a place that has nearly everything you need then this is that place but at a steep price point. They have a swimming pool and doesn't seem to ever get too crowded. I tried out the yoga lesson bright and early which was great as it felt more like a one one one. I liked this instructor as she wasn't too pushy or too pretentious (as is my issue with Yoga and I never really gave it a genuine go before for this reason). I felt great after and would probably even sign up for a membership if I worked in the area.

Overall the workout was fine and I did like the energy of the coach (Shaheed) but I think some…read morethings could be improved for the overall gym atmosphere. Firstly they don't have any front desk staff, so it was a bit confusing to locate the change area in the very back of the studio. There weren't any actual change room stalls, you just have to change in the tiny toilet stall which didn't feel that sanitary (uncovered plumber just sitting on the tile floor, no hooks for clothes inside the toilet stall, etc). Next, at the workout, the instructor just told us to grab a "light, medium and heavy weight" from all the dumbbells. Without any additional context it was hard to discern what an appropriate weight was - he should have given examples of the exercises we would be doing with each weight so we can judge what is appropriate. Furthermore the class was PACKED - I counted 22+ people attending, and you were basically shoulder to shoulder doing stuff like side lunges which meant you had to watch where you were stepping. Shaheed did do a good job of giving form corrections given how many people there were, but overall it still felt a little too crowded for the space. There was a huge variation of age ranges and body types in the class. Maybe for this reason the class seems a little bit more geared towards mobility and longevity than hypertrophy - we were doing some movements that I thought were strange (dumbbell curls while balancing on one leg). I can see the benefit for those that need work on their balance but for the average person it didn't seem that optimal for building muscle. Overall the rest of the studio (other than the bathroom) was open and clean, and the intensity of the workout was fine. Because of the negative points I mentioned in my review I don't think I'd come back, but I do see the benefits of this gym especially for those that have mobility concerns.

As part of a charity event hosted by the Toronto Trillium Lions Club, our class of about 20…read moreparticipated in a private workout class at Ferris360. This was a great group physical activity and I enjoyed the concept of working out together under the guise of a staff member of Ferris360. Ferris360 is an indoor fitness space located in midtown Toronto on Yonge Street just before Davisville and across from Davisville subway station. They have been operating since 2012 and have different workouts catered to different strengths and target areas like HIIT, Pilates, barbell, and strength training. On this snowy, freezing raining Sunday 11 a.m., we had a private class (that's not listed on the roster). It was an one-hour class. We started with some alternating warm-ups: about 1 minute of cardio on any machine to get the heart going (you could choose between the treadmill, the rowing machine, stair climber, bicycle, or one machine there you pulled down using both arms) and then a minute of mat work. There were two major circuits we did which also involved alternating between cardio work and work on the mat with three different level weights. We did chest openers and presses on the floor with the weights. We alternated leg lifts with the weights in our arms. We then did three rounds of 10 weighted squats, 10 squat presses, 10 sit-ups, and 40 shoulder taps with each round alternated with a different cardio activity of our choice. We finished off with a cooling session: child's pose, downward dog, and pigeon pose. The hour of class flew by. The instructor explained all of the different activities thoroughly, but I wish he stayed in front of the room and continued to demonstrate them while we were doing them so I could reference how to do some properly. Nevertheless, it was a fruitful and good workout. The next day, I definitely felt my armpit and connecting arm areas sore from doing the "fly" chest openers. Ferris360 has gendered change rooms and washrooms on site as well as water for purchase. Their collection of varied cardio machines is impressive.

As an autistic adult with physical challenges, I never expected to win the "GoodLife Personal Training Challenge," but Davide's patience, empathy, and coaching made it possible. He also coached and trained my two nieces and referred them to an excellent osteopath, helping them overcome scoliosis and thrive as nurses. Though we no longer train with him, the strength, knowledge, and confidence he gave us still guide us. GoodLife Yonge & Finch feels like a second home because Davide always makes me feel welcome. If you want a trainer who truly listens, cares, and delivers results, I highly recommend Davide.

I was a member of this gym for many years and very satisfied overall…read more It isn't one of the monster chains and therefore may not satisfy many people's needs in terms of size or hours (it is restricted in terms of size and hours because it's right in the middle of the mall), but I never had a better membership experience. The place is kept pretty clean, and the amenities are pretty good - plenty of showers, code combination lockers, and a fair range of hair dryers and freebie lotions and toiletry products. I found the price VERY reasonable, maybe partly due to the fact that I had qualified for a corporate type membership, but I also have to say that I was very pleased that with the passing of the years that I was a customer, I wasn't subject to any rate increase. There are several staff who have been here for years, and some of them are truly great instructors - I remember mostly Gillian (sp.?) for her spin and aerobics type classes. I would end up usually just making use of the machines to fit my schedule, and found them adequate - your usual treadmills, ellipticals, rowing machines, stair machines. They were generally all in good working order and well maintained. There are plenty of specialist staff if you want additional services. You do get the sales pitch for those when you get your complimentary services, but it's not too high pressure and the complimentary services are a good start to your membership. Most of all, I have to give this gym 5 stars for their service and integrity - including that point where you cancel your membership. (Not to mention, it was great having a stint of many years without the place going out of business, as gyms tend to do.) When I came in to do the final deed, it was the most painless experience (pun intended) a gym could offer - they promptly, efficiently, and with a smile, processed my paperwork, confirmed dates and amounts, and reassured me with an official slip in the event that there were any glitches with payments ending (there were none). I can't believe it, but it was a sad good-bye to this gym. I hope and pray that I can find a replacement that can fill its shoes. I would go back in a raised rate heartbeat.
