As soon we walked in, I got a very uncomfortable vibe from the woman who runs the place. It honestly felt like she wanted us to leave, and didn't want the business. She told us that we would have to wait 10 minutes before she would talk to us, and kept peeking out a door to see if we were still there. After 10 minutes she briefly described the classes, but seemed annoyed that we wanted more detail on the classes. We got no tour, and basically a shrug off. It felt like she thought we were not in shape enough for her classes. This was a hoity toity woman, in an up tight gym. I do not recommend this overpriced and snooty gym to anyone!

The prices are also very reasonable and it's a great location for me! The only downside is if you buy the 10 class pass, it's just stored in their computer so it's a bit hard to remember how many you've used without them checking in their system.

If you compare my old review to the current name on this page, you will see that things have…read morechanged and Brampton Crossfit is now Impact Fitness. I have countless great things from my experience when this gym was a Crossfit gym. I'd even tell others who live in other areas to consider Crossfit if they're looking for a new gym or a new approach to exercise. With that said, after several months at Crossfit, I realised that I was beginning to plateau. It's not to say that one can't continuously improve at a Crossfit gym, but if I'm honest, I like having things more or less programmed and prepared for me. Crossfit's workout of the day format offers that structure and is a great way to improve and then maintain fitness - but if you want get to the next level after a few months, you really need to consider doing a personal workout regimen, which many do at Crossfit gyms. The move to Impact Fitness is essentially a way of incorporating the things I loved about Crossfit, such as: group exercise, coaching, greater intensity workouts, heavier weights (if desired), a variety of exercises and other elements. In fact, many of the same exercises and equipment associated with Crossfit are still present. However, the class schedule now has more focus on determining goals, measuring progress and targeting specific areas. The daily schedule essentially operates in offering hour-long classes alternating between two types of workouts. One is 'strength', being weight training. The strength workouts in particular repeat throughout the month in order to continue working on the same area and work towards progressing. The other is 'conditioning', which is comparable to bootcamp styled high intensity interval training (HIIT). Beyond that, the workouts are also structured with either being mostly an upper body, or lower body work out. It allows you to plan your workouts and routine according to your goals, which can be done with the advice and help from the coaches. Effectively, Impact is a place where they have done most of the work in providing a workout plan and structure for members. It's really then just left to individuals to decide what their goals and preferences are, then plan their workout schedule and do the work accordingly. This is still with the benefit of a fun, supportive group atmosphere along with coaching. And hey, if you still want to do an even more personalized regimen, that's still available too.

I am so happy to have a true reformer studio in this part of North York, and I think the classes…read morehere are really impressive! The studio is a welcome and much needed facility on our neighbourhood. Make note, the visitor parking is tricky to find as you have to go into the underground lot of an adjacent building. On the plus side, parking is free. I recommend calling first to get directions to the lot before you go. Also, it's hard to find information online about pricing. I don't blame the studio for this, as it is a franchise and this is probably a corporate rule, but you might consider calling ahead to find out the details about pricing as well. I think the management of this location is fabulous, friendly and welcoming and the classes are fun and engaging. Definitely worth checking out (and they offer a free intro class!).

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.
