This is your no-frills destination for an exercise-filled lifestyle. At $5 biweekly, or $10 a month, you pretty much have the lowest cost gym membership around the GTA area. Don't expect fancy services; this is your super frugal option! Do note that there are several upfront fees to get started. Specifically for the Bridlewood location: - Generally clean - Not too crowded, even on peak days - Very good mix of different machines/free weights etc. (Comparable to GoodLife) - 3 Individual change rooms (there are no communal change rooms) - Lockers line one perimeter of the gym (BYOLock) - Shower, Tanning*, Massage Chairs* (*for the higher tier membership) Been coming here for over a year now read more

Good gym for the price. You have the option of either 5 or 10$ bi weekly. The 10$ comes with more options such as massage, tanning booth, free t-shirt and gym bag. There's no squat machine. About 3 bench presses. Only maybe 2 places you can deadlift properly. A bunch of treadmills and ellipticals and other smaller machines. Great staff, always here to answer questions. Also hosts free pizza every random Thursday. The equipment used to be super new looking now looking a bit run down. read more

Bridlewood Fit4Less - Gyms Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

I have been working out at the Fit4Less Victoria Park Ave and Eglinton Ave E Scarborough location for the past few years and a new location opened up at Bridlewood Mall in Upper Scarborough near my area this week. Less travel time to get to the gym is always good news. So essentially Fit4Less is a no frills basic gym that is owned by Goodlife Fitness that is open 24/7 that charges $10 plus applicable taxes a month for basic membership and $20 plus applicable taxes a month for black card membership which entitles you to more perks. Half of the amount is taken from your bank account every two weeks ($5 every two weeks for basic membership and $10 every two weeks for black card members) and there is a $44 initiation fee for new members. Basic membership ($10 a month plus applicable taxes) gets you access to that specific location and access to tanning and is a one year commitment and from my understanding if you decide to cancel early, you pay out the balance of the remaining year. Black card membership ($20 a month plus applicable taxes) gets you access to every Fit4Less location and most importantly is transferable which means you can share the card with family and friends but only one person can go at a time. Free tanning, massage chair and free shirt and gym bag. Pros: 1. A fair amount of new cardio and weight machines. Fair amount of free weights with dumbbells ranging from 5-75 pounds. 2. It's open 24/7 but it's only staffed Mon -Fri 7am -10pm and Sat -Sun 11am - 4pm. 3. Really affordable. 4. Not too crowded. 5. Ample parking. 6. Owned by Goodlife Fitness. 7. This location has showers. Cons: 1. Open 24/7 but not staffed 24/7. 2. No classes (i.e. spin classes, yoga classes) but that's how they are able to offer such cheap monthly rates. 3. No water fountains but they do sell bottled water ($1.50) at the location and it's half price for black card members. Essentially the gym is perfect for people who are looking for a good workout and not looking for any extra amenities. It's really good value price wise especially when you compare the price to some other gyms. read more

See all

Terrible branch of fit4less of all. I have been to many different branches and this branch at Scarborough which is inside Bridlewood Mall is by far the worst. super rude, aggressive and impolite staff. read more

They useto make you book a time slot, that way it limited the capacity and also saved you time. You didn't have to show up expecting to workout and waste time waiting to get in. I don't get why they would take this system away and it really makes the customer experience poor. read more

Okay, let me break it down for you. Are you broke? Are you in the area? Are you in need of a quick workout but don't mind feeling really Scarborough? Well, you're looking at this place. I originally was looking for a place near my house, and this was the closet one. Upon further inspection, it seems relatively clean and properly manned. The biggest thing that I like about this gym, is the fact that it is 24/7. In terms of cons, you won't feel "fancy" or as "bougie" when you're in, say for example, Goodlife, but this gym gets the work done. If you don't necessarily care about these things, I recommend this place. It does tend to get quite busy, so my personal piece of advice, go after 11:00PM; it gets really quiet and there aren't lines to get to the squat rack. read more

Given that this facility is a bare-bones gym I am going to rate it from that standpoint and not against a Goodlife or LA Fitness. The brand looks to cater to those who want a fairly basic workout experience without inflated membership fees and unnecessary "frills". In that respect it has all you could ask for, a wide array of cardio machines, free weights and exercise machines. Even though they keep staff count to a minimum the facility is kept clean and organized for the most part. I used to work out at the location at Golden Mile but have since switched to this site as it is cleaner, less congested, and the change rooms are much larger with benches inside. Some other small perks at the Bridlewood location include massage chairs, hydro massage, tanning booths, and showers. 4 stars. read more

Its okay if your on a budget or you want to be economical. You basically pay what you get for. The people at the gym tend to be working class people. Some don't have the decency to wipe their equipment after using, or apply deodorant prior to working out. There are many young immature people that workout at Fit4Less, these are what I call the bro crowd people- guys who don't have girlfriends, who are not self-confident enough to workout alone, and guys who can't afford a proper gym. They come in crews of about 2 or more, and tend to gossip and chat like 14 year old girls, and lift heavy weights thinking they are working out; these people you can identify easily, just look for groups of men working out together, doing the exact same workouts, making stupid grunting noises, and encouraging each other to do routines that don't accomplish much. I'm glad I kept my LA Fitness membership while I was trying out Fit4Less. I cancelled my membership after four weeks. I really wanted to like fit4less, and the 24 hour availability attracted me, but I didn't like working out with common folk who lack basic decency and hygienic common sense, I also didn't like working out along men who workout in groups and hog equipment (men who basically are not self-confident enough to workout by themselves). read more

I wanted to go here a few times and get a feel for things before writing a review so I can be as objective as possible. So here goes! The gym is quite spacious and has a variety of equipment; enough to get your workout needs in I promise! There is sufficient space between machines too and you have a good number of cardio machines lined up at the front of the gym. I have never had any issues or had to wait for a cardio machine and there is no sign up schedule required. There is a mini studio-like room and there are 2 mat areas to do your stretches, abs or whatever else, along with a rack of medicine balls (at each area), yoga balls and a few foam rollers at one area. There are several stations located throughout the gym for the sanitary sprays and paper towels which is nice and convenient. There are a few massaging chairs and 2 hydro massage beds for members to use which is kind of cool. They have 3 change rooms right in front of the locker area and have 3 shower rooms too. It's all pretty convenient if you asked me, especially given what you are paying from your pocket. Now a few cons for this gym in my opinion: 1. There are no water fountains so definitely remember to bring your water bottle people! Unless you intend to spend money to get a bottle of water...that's up to you... 2. Maybe I'm just a bit picky here but their squatting racks are not your typical free-weight type ones where you have the bar and the rack itself and you are lifting 45 lbs. + whatever weight you add on. They have weird assisted ones where your bar is attached to other rods both vertically and horizontally. So literally the rods form a square and your bar moves up, down, back and forward...Apparently it's a multi-purpose rack so maybe that is why? I don't know but personally I am not a fan. They do, however, have the Smith machine which is the squat rack that has a hook at the sides of the bar and assists you in the up and down motion. 3. Small locker area...let me tell you, when it gets busy, you will be fighting for lockers... Overall for the most part even at busy times like after work or evening (approx. 7pm/7:30pm or 9pm) you can still get a decent workout in. I have yet to wait on any machine so hurray for that! The only thing I did have to wait on was a free locker...in any case I definitely would recommend this gym to anyone who is looking for one that has an affordable price, 24 hour availability and a clean, neat, spacious gym that has enough machines to get a decent workout in. read more

ive been coming to this gym almost everyday for about 2 years now, and they just recently added a squat rack. pros: - has squat station now - has an alarm for dropping weights but of the times ive been ive never heard the alarm get set off, even when im deadlifting - cheap af - good looking staff, theyre really chill - 24/7, you can come pump iron after waking up from a nightmare at 3am - people are overall nice, only met a couple nuts in all the times ive been - plenty of equipments cons: - no mirror in the changerooms - dumbbell only goes up to 75 - gotta keep your shirt on - some of the people going dropped out of elementary school and cant count up to 75, putting weights in all the wrong spots - no mirror in the changerooms - gets busy at rush hour, but can still manage without too much waiting - no mirror in the changerooms - no mirror in the changerooms read more

My go to gym. It's inside the mall and very accessible to TTC and lots of FREE parking space if you are driving. Gets very busy at times after work hours but spacious enough. I'm not sure if they have classes, i've never tried or encountered one. Would be nice to have more change rooms tho. Lockers are okay and big enough for my stuffs. There's also an open storage as soon as you enter the place to put coats and jackets or winterboots or stuffs in general if you don't mind having them out in the open. Friendly staffs and pretty clean environment. No water fountain tho, make sense coz they're selling water bottles and drinks. BYO water if you must. The demographic is very wide in terms of age. Not a problem tho. I believe it's 24/7 gym as well (not hundred percent sure but most fit4less are 24/7). Lots of equipment to choose from too especially for cardio. Music is not too loud which is great. Has saunas, hydromassage, and massage chairs too. read more

Gym is okay. You get what you pay for. All the bars are old and don't have a grip. If your trying to deadlift more than 2 plates you will rip your skin off. Other than that it's not too crowded and around 7 the gym gets packed. read more

I love this place! It's got everything you need to get healthy - cardio machines, weight machines, virtual fitness classes, and free weights. And it's got the cheapest fees in town. For the $9.98 a month basic membership (plus initial joining fee), you get 24/7 access to the equipment at Bridlewood Mall. For $21.98 a month (plus initial joining fee), you get the group membership that you can share with family and friends (it can only be used by one person at a time), and can go to any location (there's 3 others in Scarborough alone). I went to check out the YMCA at Scarborough Town Centre, and the City of Toronto gym at the U of T Scarborough Pan Am Centre, and from what I can tell, the extra bells and whistles you get at the more expensive places are stuff like: - an indoor track - indoor pool - extensive schedule of live fitness classes, including yoga, spin, and aqua fitness - step machines with actual stairs, instead of 2 pedals - recumbent stepper machines - water fountains - basketball courts - YMCA has babysitting, more weight machines, and individual tv's on the cardio machines, but they have terrible ventilation and there tends to be a lingering odour in the air at times. The crowd tends to skew a little older, due to the senior discount. - Pan Am Centre has a couple of different cardio machines like a dragon boat rower, and an adaptive motion trainer, as well as a really clean new and huge change room, but they don't have very many weight machines for the price. The crowd tends to skew a little younger, due to membership being included in the U of T students package. After checking out the other places, I found that a lot of the extra services weren't things I was really going to need - like, not worth the money and extra driving distance. Being close to the gym is so important to avoiding the temptation of staying home lol! And Fit4Less has done a great job of selecting machines that provide a full body workout - I've lost 20lbs since joining a couple of months ago. Another thing that's great about this gym is that you can see what it's like just by looking through the window from inside the mall, and can join online - so you don't have to suffer through one of those awful membership pitches like they have at all the other gyms. The only couple of things I wish were different was that sometimes the coat racks run out of hangers between 6pm-8pm, and the change rooms can have lines around these times as well. And it would be nice to have water fountains - have you ever heard of a gym that doesn't provide free water?! lol - guess you get what you pay for ... read more
