I've been working with Vysh 1:1 for 3 months and have had the best training experience of my life…read more I came to her 2 months postpartum feeling disconnected from my body and dealing with a lot of aches and pains relating to the changes my body went through. I wanted to get stronger and focus on functional fitness to make my life as a new mom (lifting a rapidly growing baby) easier and pain free. She met me where I was and tailored our sessions around my goals, even going as far as practicing good form getting up and down from the floor with a baby in hand. We spend time each session checking in on where I'm at physically, emotionally, mentally and adapt the session as needed (like if I'm running on very little sleep). After only about a month of working with Vysh I had gotten stronger and most of my daily pain was gone. Now I continue to see my strength and endurance improve and am looking forward to continuing training with Vysh and working on my next set of goals together. Her trauma informed approach and the language that she uses makes it such a safe space, especially compared to other experiences at large gyms. For folks who may have had bad experiences in toxic gym environments and are looking for a trainer and a safe space for a diversity of bodies & backgrounds, I can't recommend Vysh enough!

I highly recommend the training at KX Yorkville - honestly, the only thing I can think of that's a minus is the tiny ladies' change room, but folks are friendly so we manage :)

THIEVES here. DON'T COME HERE. BE CAREFUL. LOTS of THIEVES here. GOODLIFE DOES NOT CARE…read more A thief stole my wallet in the changing room yesterday. He destroyed the lock and got my wallet. He used my credit card on some stores, so I went to the store and got his photo. I talked to GOODLIFE management that I had his photo, but GOODLIFE said they wouldn't track his membership, his info or anything. GOODLIFE DOESN'T CARE. I also saw a guy reported someone stole his shoes after he went back the changing room from bathroom another day. Just 15mins and his shoes gone. He said this was not his first time. WOW! Imagine you just finish work, go to the gym with all your belongings (watch, wallet, suits, gym clothes...). Noone brings stuff when taking shower. It means the THIEVES can get all as GOODLIFE DOESN'T CARE. The THIEVES can still keep doing this as much as they want because it's under $5k. So stupid. GOODLIFE DOESN'T CARE. They wouldn't give you any information of the thieves even though you have their photos. I called GOODLIFE to talk to a manager next morning at 11:21 as the staff suggested. She was busy with another phone call and they said they would call me back, but she did NOT. So I had to call them again after 1 hour. She did NOT say sorry to not call me back. She did NOT know to care my case. The way she talked to me was like she did NOT care and I felt she put the fault on me. What a TERRIBLE customer service skill! TERRIBLE management! BE CAREFUL!!! DON'T COME HERE!

Absolutely the best thing that happened to me in Toronto and definitely one of the strongest…read morereasons i dont want to leave the city !! I am an IT consultant and my job comes with a lot of travelling and stress! I discovered Rob's bootcamp classes last year summer and he/and his team are definitely one of the best in their craft. Having lived in big cities like LA, DC, Chicago, New York, Mumbai and Amsterdam, i can vouch for the fact that Rob's bootcamp classes are of the highest standard & top notch!! Each class is well designed and researched. Rob/Tina/Brittany/Sarah are highly motivated individuals who makes sure that not just everyone feels comfortable, but also do these exercises correctly. Great importance is given to form and posture and most importantly everyone is treated equally here with lot of respect. A virtue that is rare to find these days!! The team here not just measures your vital stats, but tracks your progress/foodhabits and is there to help you 24*7 with any Qs, concerns,issues whatsoever! Its up to you as to how well you want to utilize their knowledge and help, however they are more than available to clear doubts/Qs etc. Its like having a personal coach in life which for me is a great motivational factor. Personally last summer i had great results just in a week after joining Rob. I could feel less stress at work and lot of energy. I would like to mention here that..i personally couldnt attend several months of my membership last year due to my travel schedule at work but Rob without asking a single Q, extended my membership for free for the months i couldnt attend. Now that's selflessness. I have never seen that anywhere else!! If you want results and great comradeship ..this is THE place to join!!

I've been so happy w/ the program I even committed to a yr long program/membership b/c I can see how well it works! In 6 wks my strength has doubled in a lot of areas and I took my plank from 2:35 to over 6 mins and I've lost 11.5 mm of fat from my stomach and arm area. I wasn't really out of shape/over weight when I joined so to see these kind of results already is pretty incredible! Can't wait to see what the next 6 wks brings! I especially love how hands on all the coaches are. The morning classes that I do are relatively small and the coaches are there to guide not only your training but also your meal plan which is really helpful. Plus you get lots of interesting articles/recipes/motivational material from Rob via email and you can sign up for classes through an online program which is great!

He has a deep understanding of my goals, I lost around 45LBS so far while working with him. I deal with a variety of health issues that can affect my performance and Colin will ALWAYS modify the workouts to make sure I'm comfortable, but still pushing myself. I'd recommend him to anyone, new to fitness or a pro!! Aside from his competencies in the health and fitness world, I feel like I've gained a confidant in him. He's supported me through so many unrelated issues and has always been caring and accommodating to my varying emotional troubles. Can't recommend him enough!! Thanks for everything you do Colin!

I signed up with them excited to get back into shape about 2 years ago. I initially went in on a 28…read moreday promotion but was told it wouldn't benefit me very much and that I should consider signing up on their regular plan. The plan was much more expensive and initially I planned to sign up for 3 months. The trainer selling myself and my two friends at the time said I should sign up for a year and if I needed to cancel anytime all I needed to do was give 30 days notice. That was enough for me to sign up for the year. I enjoyed my first 8 months there and felt the benefits but then I was forced to move due to life circumstances. I wrote them giving my 30 day notice and was told that it didn't exist. After some back and forth with no avail, I re-told the story of my signup. The owner John said if that was what Antonio said, they would honor it but that it was against their policy to offer that. I bet you can guess that Antonio "Forgot" that happened so I was stuck. They offered a pause on my membership but said I would be billed even though they failed to provide me the contract and lied to me to get me into the agreement to begin with. WORST experience of customer service ever. All for a few grand. What a scam of a business this place is. Warning to EVERYONE do not enter into long term agreements with them as they will not honor their end of the deal.

They have top-notch training equipment, and they make an effort to know and motivate their members! I didn't purchase their unlimited membership because 'unlimited' means too many options and actually demotivates me to go =) Once you sign up for monthly (4, 8, unlimited etc) membership, they'll give you a personal training session to let you know how to train safely and effectively and measure your body fat percentage - every four month you'll measure again and set goals. I find their training much different from the Goodlife group classes. For one, I want to go to FUEL and challenge myself, whereas it was a drag to go to Goodlife. (Could also be I live right beside FUEL..) I can't complain because of how competitive Goodlife's prices are, but FUEL is a more intimate environment and the trainers will correct my posture and tell me to stop if they think I might hurt myself. After all, it's how often I go and the end results that define what suits me best. Give it a try by registering for their free trial, especially if you live in the neighborhood. I'm sure the variety of training forms and bubbly personality of the instructors won't let you down.
