I signed up for the 6 wk boot camp challenge just over 6 wks ago and I couldn't be more impressed/happy w/ my results so far! 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! read more

Gordy is a welcoming and inspiring coach! I love this gym. I've been a member for six weeks and have found community, motivation and my waistline!!! read more

Group on originally for monthly unlimited. When that was nearly done you meet with the owner for "one and one" and bam you're pressured into becoming a member. Don't give your credit card number to this person. December 2019 I was charged twice. Ok that was a one time mistake I thought as inconvenient as it was on my finances. Reading previous comments. It seems he has a finite for just charging people's cards whenever. So yeah don't. read more

This is the best place to workout. You work hard and sweat but you will see results. I go 5 times a week. I have never found a place as great as this to go and workout. Everyone is friendly and supportive and it is a great community. Everyone needs to try it! It will be the best decision you ever make. read more

Looking for a gym with a class system? This is it. Trainers keep you engaged and watch out for incorrect form. They have free meal plans and amazing nutritional information available. They will push and motivate you when they know you can do better. The team have created a wonderful community from their space! read more

After being there for a year, posted everywhere about this bootcamp(free promotion), convincing my friends to come here and workout, I had to update my review. because since I didnt want to renew my membership the owner was not that nice and acused me to steal his clients. Not a nice way to treat your best clients! read more

I purchased a Groupon for Gordy's Bootcamp for 1 month of Unlimited Bootcamp Classes for One. Robert Henderson, the owner of Gordy's Bootcamp offered me a 1 year trial (12 month free). During this time, I created several promotional and marketing materials for Robert to promote Gordy's Bootcamp. He used my brand, images and videos on his newsletters and social media (including Facebook and Instagram). Essentially, the 12 month free trial was for his own personal and professional gain. He is constantly offering a free year of bootcamp, vacations and cash prizes... Don't fall for this nonsense. No intellectual business owner does this. Not to mention, it wasn't the most appealing and clean gym to attend. A very low budget gym located on the floor of a random office building close to Ryerson. As the building was located among operating businesses, we were not able to jump or make any stark movements, which is quite difficult to really give it your all at a place that is offering HIIT/bootcamp style classes but does not have the amenities to provide the full experience. Low ceiling. If you're tall, you could jump and hit your head. The flooring was old, falling apart. It was that puzzle piece tile type of floor that you see in a kindergarten classroom, but it hadn't been changed in years, collecting everyone's sweat and dead skin cells. There were holes in the floor and you had to be careful where you stepped as parts of the floor were sinking. There was no real changing room, only a curtain to change behind. The bathroom amenities were also not fit for an athletic club - dirty sink, toilet, and bathtub. Here is where I REALLY drew the line though... On Wednesday, November 13, 2019, I attended the Body Sculpting class at Gordy's Bootcamp. As the class was ending and everyone was doing a group stretch, Rob says out loud, in front of the entire class, that he had a dream about me. He proceeds to tell the class, in detail, about his dream. He begins by painting the scene - we were on a cruise ship, sitting at the bar, having a drink. He was asking me what we were - "Are we friends? Are we more? What are we?" Then, he says, in his dream, I leaned in towards him, getting closer, and closer (implying I was leaning in to kiss him) and then he woke up from his dream. Please keep in mind, Robert is nearly my fathers age... This made me so uncomfortable, that I did not feel comfortable going back to Gordy's Bootcamp. I ended up telling Robert, on Thursday, December 5 at 7:48 PM EST, that I am cancelling my membership with Gordy's Bootcamp. By 8:14 PM EST, my bank had informed me that Rob had charged my credit card for $1,250, for the alleged 8 months of bootcamp I had owed him. This was not in the contract or cancellation policy, and Robert did not receive my confirmation for this transaction. Robert is an unprofessional business owner and Gordy's Bootcamp is one of the most mediocre gyms I have tried in the city of Toronto. He offers his bootcamp for a range of $157-197 /month. This bootcamp is not valued at this price. Save yourself the hassle and disappointment and get a membership at your local Goodlife instead. read more

I joined this bootcamp earlier this year and it only took a short while for me to appreciate the unique benefits of Rob's program. A few of these benefits: 1) Small class sizes allow for greater attention and a sense of a community 2) Instructors take time to spend with you one on one to understand your personal case 3) Positive atmosphere that motivates you 4) Effective exercise to actually achieve specific goals (e.g.. lose 5% body fat in 1 month) 5) A lot of support in setting these measurable goals and remaining accountable The instructors are kind and empathetic in understanding the physical, nutritional and motivational challenges associated with your health and fitness goals. They are real people who are relatable and in pursuing their own goals, even join you in your classes, providing an example to follow in attitude and persistence. Instructors correct form periodically and focus on encouraging to do your best. Most of weight loss and health goals are challenging because of the stress and isolation that is associated with the process. Any gym has the physical tools available but the soft components of this program are what lead to success for all participants. The positive energy of the community is priceless. read more

So how did I get to try this gym out? There was a great groupon deal, my two girlfriends also wanted to try out a bootcamp, all the reviews were praising the gym as something out of this world amazing! The three of us bought the groupon for an unlimited month. Impressions: 1. The website of this gym is so sketchy and outdated... it hurts your eyes to look at it. But it's ok, nevermind we signed up anyway. 2. The gym itself is really really not what I expect a professional gym to look like: worn out equipment, equipment all over the place, (badly)hand written signs all over the place (e.g. "station#1: burpies and lunges" etc) - how hard is it to print and laminate signs just to make it look neat? 3. The instructors don't project an image of professionalism/confidence either. I attended multiple classes on different days and only ever encountered two instructors (one of them being the owner). What strikes me is that most of the time most of the class didn't know if they are doing things right and we were only given feedback on our performance if we asked (in comparison to GoodLife where the instructors correct anything you do wrong so that you don't injure yourself). My friends and I also did a mini test and did everything wrong on purpose to see if the instructor corrects us... she never did, because she didn't even really look at the students... What shocked me is that their "regular" membership price is something around $300 a month as was presented to me when I went to discuss my overall fitness level. (my groupon was $35 and from what I understand all the ladies (btw almost no guys there) signed up on groupon or other deals). For this premium price you are definitely better off signing up to GoodLife or if you want to go premium then to Equinox Gym. The only couple of things I liked are: 1. You get automatically signed up for regular email updates with fitness meal plan and recipes. 2. The fitness assessment I almost liked it if the instructor actually seemed to care about what he was telling me. Well, I'm glad I only paid $35 for the program, but can't believe there are so many 5 star comments for this gym.... read more

I want to add a few more words to already trending comments about Rob Gordy's boot camp... before writing anything i would like to ask a question...WHY DO WE JOIN A BOOTCAMP? because it looks too fancy or it has a certain number or guys and girls(as pointed out in one of the reviews)? Well, i joined because i was out of shape and lacked the motivation which would drag me to the gym (which by the way was only shattered by the big names in fitness... where they tell you all you are doing and have done so far is WRONG and try to sell you their personal trainer on the very first day of fit test itself) I joined a bootcamp because i wanted to get back to shape and Rob Gordy's bootcamp was the place! I was never in such a great shape before. I can list out all the types of motivational ideas and competitions that Rob and his fellow trainers come up with just to motivate YOU to get into best shape YOU have not seen in years but you have to try a class to experience it for yourself. Rob's classes are well balanced keeping in mind your entire body gets its workout, his timely reviews on your food logs which is a key factor in your programne, there are a number of timings you can opt for, you have competitions to work harder to loose your fat and win something in return!!! Most of all he himself and his trainers are extremely helpful and knowledgeable of the right and wrong and know each camper and their goal and actually work harder than you to help you achieve it!!!!! I feel sorry for those who join these classes to "test" trainers just to get few words to write in a review rather than joining with a goal in mind and "Trust" for the people who have opened up a place to help you feel better from the moment you step in. Quite honestly, Rob's classes dont need a review but having read few reviews... I couldn't stop myself from writing one. No one can burn that fat for you...you have to have the sense of achieving that goal....and Rob does nothing but make sure you leave with a Healthy fit body and a smile on your face! I would recommend you Try a class and join if you love it. read more

Amazing boot camp I did one of the challenges and lost 13 pounds in 6 weeks great classes that fit a variety of schedules early morning and evenings very knowledgable trainers and nutrition coaches all included, holistic approach to fitness looking at diet stress sleep and exercise, it really help me change my lifestyle and implement healthy eating and exercise habits i strongly recommended read more

I joined Gordy's bootcamp five months ago. This place is beyond awesome! I had a GoodLife membership for one year, and I never achieved the same results that I did here and I actually enjoy going to the classes. I was hesitant and scared out of my mind about joining boot camps. Gordy's bootcamp was the only one that had really good reviews, so I decided to give it a try and up to this day, I have no regrets. I have been to different gyms, and I always felt like they don't care and just want your money- especially when they push you to purchase a trainer. All the trainers here are amazing and each one of them have their own unique style of training, but it's effective. The classes are never boring and they push you to be better without discouraging you. They encourage and motivate you in a positive way, without making you feel stupid or shamed. They sincerely and genuinely care and always there to help and support you, even outside of the classes (you won't believe how many e-mails we get on tips and advices on how to be the best and healthy and tasty recipes- I don't think any other gym or even personal trainers do such things- they will spend the allocated paid time with you and that's it). At Gordy's bootcamp, we are a TEAM- that's what makes this place better than any other place- We are all working towards the same goals, including the trainers. It's not us vs the trainers- we are all in it together. There's no judgement from anyone and it's very interactive and FUN. I would recommend Gordy's bootcamp for anyone. You get more from here than what you pay. Keep up the amazing jobs guys read more

I joined Rob Gordy's Boot Camp family more than a year ago. Yes, I refer to it as a family! No one here is for looks or fanciness of the place, but it's all about getting you where you want to be, supporting you, helping, holding your hand and even pushing you when it's needed. Instructors are always trying to make each class as effective and enjoyable as it can be. What I like the most is the atmosphere we create in the classroom; atmosphere of support and acceptance, motivation and togetherness. That what brings me not only results but also a huge joy! read more

This is a great gym to join if you don't like gyms. The classes are short, intense, and the coaches and staff are very supportive! This gym has empowered me to stop failing on my fitness goals and achieve much more than I ever thought I could! Couldn't recommend Gordy's Boot camp more to anyone at any level of fitness. read more

I did the 6 week bootcamp challenge starting at the end of January. I took advantage of the 6 weeks and went to about 4 or 5 classes a week. The classes and nutrition info, for the most part, were good. It was challenging, but probably because I challenged myself. I agree with the reviewer who mentioned the lack of corrections given during the classes. I used to have a personal trainer, so I was aware of proper techniques, but for exercise newbies, this may not be the place for you. There were a lot of injuries popping up in the 6 weeks with many of the bootcampers (knees, backs, shoulders etc.), and most likely because they weren't doing things properly. The classes were too big for one instructor to watch and correct everyone. Many had too heavy of weights, and were over-taxing muscle groups the wrong way. In saying that, the classes were laid back and not intimidating like some big gyms out there. So, if you are a newbie exerciser this might be a good place to start and build some confidence. But, I would stress that you need to ask questions. Ask if you are doing things right, and make sure you're using the correct weights the proper way so as not to risk injury. The one thing that was extremely awkward was the sales pitch. Every gym has it, and this place is no different. However, the manner in which the mandatory "one on ones" are conducted are very uncomfortable. It was obvious Rob had a series of questions he needed to cover, and went through them before telling you how much his gym membership costs. Some of the questions were way too intrusive and inappropriately asked. "What does your partner think of your body?" Asking a woman this question is insulting and degrading. It's not empowering in any sense. It was the one question that broke the deal for me. It makes it seem I'm working out and changing my lifestyle for someone else and not for myself. Mr. Gordy, if you're reading this, remove this question from your sales pitch. It's antiquated. Lastly, I have to mention the facilities. They are not at all what I expected from a gym/bootcamp. There is no proper change room. There is one bathroom with one shower which is never stocked with supplies, and it's impossible to use with the amount of women in the classes. The equipment is old and has experienced a lot of wear and tear, and never enough weights to go around. I don't think the mats have ever been washed, and the floor is uneven and hazardous in some spots. And being on the third floor of the building means there is no jumping, or banging of any kind during extended business hours and on Saturdays. Despite all these misgivings, I did see results. The classes were good and it felt like a community where everyone supports one another. If the monthly membership was $50-$75, I'd put aside the faults of the gym facilities and join up. However, the initial monthly fee is $297, and then you're given a "special deal" and presented a final monthly price of $197, or $147 if you commit to a year. Bottom line: The cost is too high for what you're actually getting. read more

I have been to numerous gyms around the city and there's just one thing that's missing - the personal touch! and you get exactly that at Gordy's Boot Camp. Rob ( the owner) and each one of the coaches know us by name and the injuries we have, what we can do and what we can not and have a modification ready the second we ask. Yes this is no fancy/high maintenance gym like many in the city in terms of it's look but in every other aspect thank god it's not like the others or I would have still been looking for a gym I enjoy training at! The scattered equipment , the hand written signs are all testament to the fact that we all use everything available, we wipe them down, we keep them aside for the next class to use and work-out routine is different everyday so we are not bored out of our brains doing the same old ....that's the way it goes. Honestly if I've learnt anything from eating right and working out is that your fitness is in your hands, if you are miserable about your progress at the gym, the feel of your gym and how much you pay at your gym you need to seriously evaluate what YOU are doing wrong. At Gordy's boot-camp I think more than anywhere else the coaches care enough to call you, ask you whats going on, the regular challenges and prizes are all added motivation - note 'added' motivation to what you have to do for yourself to be a better version of you. I would never write a review usually, but this is one place that is all about great people that I have come to know and like over the past 5 months and when someone goes out and gives false propaganda against this gym and the people, I just had to DO THIS! this gym is honestly a good place and I have never felt fitter or more committed to my fitness ever before. Thank you Rob & Team Haters gonna hate! ;) read more

I started this bootcamp about two years ago. I was a very sedentary person and never liked physical activity. Rob's bootcamp changed my life. I now love to challenge myself physically and I am appreciating a more healthy lifestyle. I would suggest new members to do the 6-week challenges because it will motivate you to work your hardest and focus on your nutrition. You will see results quick if you attend classes 4-5x a week and eat well! You will be given a nutrition package/guidelines. The classes are hard but the trainer's are positive and motivating. Yes, I am one of his clients with a before and after photo on Yelp. My arms and legs have toned up nicely and belly fat reduced. I also won a TV from one of the challenges. I started as a Groupon and then became a long-term member. I definitely recommend this bootcamp! It's not a fancy place but you have the necessary equipment to get the results! Your body and mind will thank you! read more

Rob Gordy's Boot Camp Toronto - Won a TV from one of the challenges! - Trainers Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I started at Gordy's Bootcamp back in September of 2014. Before finding Gordy's, I tried 2 other bootcamps in Toronto but none of them stuck because of unfriendly instructors, intimidating environments, and workouts that were not at all enjoyable. Once I found this bootcamp, I right away appreciated it as a place to get a great workout (it never fails to leave me sweaty and feeling like I worked hard) and make some great friends with both boot campers and Rob. The environment is extremely friendly, inclusive, and never threatening. If you want a workout where you can just put your head down and get er done, it is great for that, but it is also a great place to learn, meet some people, and become part of a community where all fitness levels and body types are appreciated. Try it out, I can guarantee you won't be disappointed :) read more

I've been going to this bootcamp for 2 months and I really love it. The classes weren't intimidating at all, but you definitely get a great workout. What I appreciated most about this gym, compared to other bootcamps, is that the instructors would push me to go harder, but always be aware of injuries and easily provide modifications. I have some old injuries that act up once in a while, and I felt totally comfortable to ask for a different exercise which still gave me a great workout. I found the weekend workouts to be a little busy for me, but, the 7AM weekday workouts are a good size. The gym isn't 'pretty' but it's functional and I had whatever I needed to complete the workout. I wasn't a full member, so I didn't have a coach checking my meal plans, etc. but I see how the accountability aspect of the program would lead to great results. The workout is often interval training, but they mix up the exercise all the time. So, you don't get bored of the repetition. I really enjoyed this program. I lost weight in 2 months so I would highly recommend it for others. read more

Rob and his team will seriously get you into shape. They have shown me the steps to get to my end goal and the coaches motivate you in an amazing, supportive atmosphere. When you join Gordy's you're joining a family not just a gym. read more

Absolutely the best thing that happened to me in Toronto and definitely one of the strongest reasons 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!! read more

All I can say is that Rob's boot camp has worked for me. I used to go to the gym regularly and worked out pretty consistently but I never saw results like I did at Gordy's boot camp. One of the reviewer below says, it's not a fancy gym but a fancy gym won't help you lose weight or get fit. It's pure hard work and your coaches' dedication to your success that works for this place. If you want a fancy slick and shiny gym, go to Good life or Hard Candy. Sure the signs are hand written and not printed because the coaches are changing up the schedules everyday to keep you interested and your body evolving. Keep up the good work Rob and team! read more

I have been a part of Rob's bootcamp for 5 months. For someone who's rarely worked out before, this bootcamp made it so easy and motivating to attend classes. The coaches and trainers were all very encouraging and supportive of my goal and constantly checked in with me about my workout and food log progress. The classes were challenging but rewarding, and Rob almost made sure to maximize our workouts within the class time (sometimes even pushing beyond class time to make sure we all had a good workout in). I love the variety of classes, which makes it always fun to go to class. I can do circuit training one day, then cardio/ abs the next day, to polymetrics the following day. Within the first 2 months, I went from not being able to do a single pushup to doing 49 pushups in 1 min, and planking for almost 7 min. I feel stronger and leaner than ever, and I really couldn't have done it without the support of Rob and his team. read more

I have never been a fan of gyms, or the lifestyle associated with them. I don't even like exercise. That said, I am on a path to a healthier overall lifestyle so I thought I should add fitness into the picture. I joined the boot camp for 6 weeks with the expectation I might hate it but would learn some exercise techniques I could use on my own in the gym at my condo. As it turns out, I didn't hate it. I LOVED it. The instructors provided the right amount of support - enough to keep you motivated but not so much as to become overbearing. They called and emailed regularly, and kept tabs on me. I ended up at actually taking a membership after the end of the camp and I'm still going... And I am still loving it. They offer a number of classes to suit your needs and preferences. You won't get bored. They have them at times that will work with any schedule. read more
