I honestly hate working out, and I've tried so many gyms, but I've been able to stick with this one because of the encouraging, boutique atmosphere. I love having the BeatBurn monitor to track my heart rate & workout progress. I also love being able to use my membership anywhere in the world when I'm travelling. Highly recommend if you're trying to get in shape, or are already fit and love a challenge. Bonus: Validated (free!) parking at the Parklawn location (and other locations I've been to in Montreal & London). All body types and (adult) age ranges are welcomed.

My boyfriend just had his first training session with Leigh, and he was super-impressed by her,…read morejust as I am. Leigh is sensitive, patient and professional, and also knows how to kick your butt into shape! I don't do well in a corporate gym setting, so to have a trainer who will come to me for a session in my condo or even in the park is an awesome alternative. Here's a bit from the website: "Prime Fitness was founded by two sisters with a vested interest in health, fitness and well-being. Leigh Graham, an experienced fitness specialist with a Kinesiology degree, and Lara Jacob, a qualified Nutritional consultant (and Naturopathic doctor candidate), we are confident that we can help you with all of your fitness, health and nutrition goals. We also make it convenient for you by visiting you right in your home!" I would recommend Leigh to anyone who needs a personal trainer, regardless of their age or fitness goals. She is a pleasure to work with, insomuch as working out can be pleasurable....

I started with Leigh about 8 weeks after my son was born. I had 8 weeks after that to fit into a…read morewedding dress that I had purchased prior to being pregnant. (No pressure) I started off with the warm up package so I could get my eating on track as well. Leigh and Lara were amazing.. Lara helped me get back on track and figured out exactly what I need to do with my diet in order to reach my goal considering that I was still feeding my son. Leigh came to my house each session and worked with not only my environment, but my new son's mood. some days we needed to incorporate him and she didn't miss a beat. Each session, she read my ability and matched it to perfection. I pushed myself like I had never done before. I reached my goal in in the end which was huge (I gained 40 pounds, lost 20 in the first 8 weeks and 20 with the team). I not only fit into my dress but feel so much better and have the energy I need to get through the day. I look better than I did before the baby, I kid you not. I highly recommend. HIGHLY.

Anyone who knows me knows that I'm a skeptic, so it took me a really long time (over a year!) to…read morefind a trainer that I thought was actually worth my hard-earned money. I first met Lindsay through a coworker and after 7 months, I have never cancelled a training session. It's not even about the 39lbs that she helped me lose, but it's that she makes you WANT to change your lifestyle. I've seen so many ppl pay thousands of $$$ for a trainer and gain everything back the minute they stop. But after training with Lindsay, I actually became one of those annoying girls who orders grilled chicken breast salads during free company dinners!! But most importantly, she's had such a huge impact in my life because I was able to quit smoking. Plus, she sometimes makes you delicious kale chips! :)

I have always wanted to try Pilates and saw that this gym offered this in addition to spin classes. When I called, the reception was extremely helpful and answered all my questions as someone who had never done Pilates before. There is a lot of parking on site, which is convenient. The gym is very clean inside and the Pilates studio has high ceilings and is spacious. With two young kids, I can't go to every class, but I enjoyed the one class that I attended. So much so that I signed up for the class next week as well. Good for: fitness

I have no idea how new this place is, but it's lovely…read more The owner is ridiculously nice, and has an insane background in health and fitness. They seem to predominantly promote personal training, and for that the facilities look brand new, the trainers seem to really know their stuff (and are super fit themselves!) and the rates seem to be much the same as anywhere else (and apparently you can share sessions with another person, which virtually no one allows anymore). They also have a bunch of group classes - the membership for which is like $50 a month but with no contract (which is amazing) or obligations when you sign up. They also have Groupons once in a while, and a drop-in option, too. There aren't a TON of classes, but definitely enough to fit most people's schedules... and the classes vary a bit in difficulty depending on the instructor (Tony's classes are probably the closest to death). Overall, really looking forward to seeing this place do well in the neighbourhood. They seem like really nice people, the classes are different every time, and the facilities are great and spacious compared to anything downtown.

Proud member of the after work gym crowd here…read more.. While I can't argue the below reviews of the small space, I think it's great for what it is! The staff are amazing and coming here every day feels like a community. I go to the Goodlife near my work in Mississauga sometimes (it's a lot bigger) at the same time, and find it way more crowded than the Bloor/Islington one. There are 3 squat racks and 2 regular benches which can be a limiting factor but if you do other workouts while keeping your eye on it you can easily grab one. Right now they're renovating a studio space so I assume there will be more space after that's done. Sometimes I walk in at peak time and feel overwhelmed by the amount of people but it's just because of the space limitations given the renovations. On weekends it's empty and since it's 24 hours if you're not a 9-5er like me you can definitely find a time that isn't too busy. It really is not as bad as the old reviews make it seem! I'd highly recommend visiting and speaking to the staff to make your own decision. Parking can be tricky but once you master the underground space it'll be easy. There's a validation machine by the front desk that they'll show you.
