And get your ass kicked just that little bit harder than the last time. You do a whole new workout to keep building strength and circle back to certain exercises to see your development. I've really enjoyed all of the trainers I've worked with and felt that they were chosen to complement my specific goals and personality. We've boxed, rowed, climbed, pumped iron, pushed the (damned) sled, balanced, pulled and hauled stuff using every wall, corner and prop possible. I always enjoy myself, laugh a lot and finish feeling great. The staff (led by Andrew) have worked hard to create a warm, personal environment. It's got everything you need in terms of equipment, but what sets it apart is a unique culture and the belief that the mind needs to be as engaged as the body to train to be your best.

At Think Fitness they have a boutique studio space with all the equipment needed to give you the workouts you want but more importantly they know how to personalize programs to suit each client's needs and goals. I have been training here for over 3 years and have never done the same workout twice. It's always fun and challenging.

Ride Cycle Club is located near Ossington and Humbert down an alleyway. I've been going to this…read moreparticular spin studio for a few years where it's probably my favourite in the city. The first time I went was with some friends where I was completely lost in regards to what I was supposed to do. After going a few more times I got completely hooked. Ride Cycle Club offers spin classes and a full body workout. The main emphasis of the classes is staying on the beat of the music while sweating in a dark room with other individuals. The instructors are top notch and the spin playlists you workout to are always great and high energy. I've tried almost all the instructors but my favourites are probably Emily P. and Dani. Overall, great place to workout, you'll definitely get sweaty!

The music is very very loud, more so than the King St location. Compared to the King location, I…read morefound the energy of the studio, staff, and cyclers to be a bit on the low energy side maybe a bit more hipster. If you want a really upbeat environment, I would go to the King location. The lockers are more substantial than the King St location and I enjoy how there are small lockers outside the spin studio, and larger ones within the change room area. I did find this location did not have their shower products well stocked and most items were empty. The location is also really hard to find and is hidden in an alleyway. If it is your time first it can feel scary opening a random back alleyway door

The Good: Classes are really great. Instructors are helpful, attentive, they really pay attention…read moreto how you work out and advise you on your posture and push you to work harder if they think you can. It's never crowded, I think the max is 12 people but its normally less than that (6-10 I'd say), people who come are in all shapes and sizes and represent different fitness levels and atmosphere is nice and non competitive (nothing like your standard downtown fitness studio full of Bay street crowd dressed in Lululemon). Work outs aren't grueling but they are tough enough to break a good sweat and have some soreness the next day. They also change constantly and my biggest appreciation came from the fact they don't make you work in pairs like many other bootcamps do. There is an app where you can book/cancel classes/track your progress etc. The Not So Good: 24 hour cancellation policy seems a bit much as other reviewers have mentioned ($20 fine if you cancel without adequate notice). The amount of marketing emails and text messages is over the top. Package prices are a bit steep: Unlimited classes run at $240 per month. Package of 4 classes a month will set you back $107. Here's what put me off in the end: I got a Groupon deal for 2 months to try it out, I'm moving to the Junction soon so was trying out few places with the intention of signing up permanently and I kinda wanted to sign with The Motion Room 2 weeks after my Groupon deal expires (I'd be out of the country during that time) but they got pushy. First I got a text message asking me to schedule a call with them which I didn't want to do since I tend to be busy enough after work and I attend teleconferences in the office, so no I dont wanna schedule a call and have another thing to remember about. Few days later I was asked to stay after class and one of the trainers did sales pitch, showed me packages and prices, great, no problem at all, its expected they want me to sign up and pay full price after my promo expires. I thanked him and said I'd sign up shortly. Then again few days later a female trainer asked me to stay after class for the same thing, I said I already spoke to someone, she said lets talk again, I repeated the same thing, she started asking when will I know for sure I'll be joining and if I pay now they can apply the membership to the start date of my choice. I also mentioned I was concerned about 24 hr cancellation notice and she said if I get unlimited package I can just chose to lose a credit rather than $20, even though now after double checking I can see their website states the opposite so I assume I was bullshitted to lure me into signing up, then she pulled a notebook asking me when can they schedule a call, I said not necessary, she kept insisting on scheduling a call which in the end just pissed me off, too much freaking headache. What am I gonna find out during the call that you already haven't told me? I said I didn't have time for calls and she looked like she took it as an insult. That pushy interaction, her not listening to me put me off and I won't be coming back now. Do I recommend the place? Yes. If you live in the area or don't mind commuting a bit, if you have steady schedule, if you're looking for good work outs in smaller size classes then definitely go for it. It's evident Joseph, the owner, is very passionate about the business, I'd just make changes to how upselling is done and cancellation fee/notice.

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.

In the beginning, they would tell you that you can cancel your class anytime. If you do get ready to pay 16$ for it, even after paying 200+ for membership. It is scary to give them your card details. The classes are so congested, no space to work out. Even during COVID-19 they are crowded. Tom, the manager of studio never would reply to your emails. They are just finding different ways to earn money. Also, no human values, if you forget your water bottle by any chance. You can faint but they won't give you a water bottle they have. They don't even have a disposal glass to drink water. Just think once before joining OTF park lawn.

A good variety of equipment, but could use a little more variety in classes. I find the 6:30pm time slot always has the most boring classes. Cost is okay, $28 every two weeks.

It's great seeing the same person every evening :)

Instructor: The instructors all have really good energy…read morelevels. Rami is by far the 11/10 best trainer I have ever had at any fitness studio including F45 and Orange Theory locations throughout the GTA and Toronto. I would really recommend his classes. He is really knowledgeable about form and correcting you and has the perfect balance of pushing you when needed and also knowing when to lay off if you are struggling or at your limit. There is one personal trainers during the class that go around and motivate you, correct your form, ensure you are pushing yourself while being safe and enjoying the class. Class and Atmosphere: The intensity is quite good with 500-600 calories burned on average. The class is usually divided into 60 mins: 20 mins treadmill, 20 mins weights, 20 mins rowing. The one instructor is shared amongst all areas of the class. The instructor will call out instructors for all 3 sections. There is TV screens to provide video examples of how to perform the weight-based exercises. The classes get booked VERY FAST and it is hard to get a time slot that is popular such as 12PM on a Saturday unless you book it in advance. Cost/Benefit: I found that the sharing of the instructor was a bit less interactive, than other studios like F45 where you get more attention from the instructor and do not have to rely on a TV screen or peers as much. I also found the cost of the class to be a bit high considering you are more self directed on the treadmill and the rowing machines, so 2/3 of the class cost is really to do things without alot of attention or instruction. Fitness Level: The demographic is truly a range at this location from 20s-50s. I would say this is the "fittest" group of participants I have ever seen in the GTA. If you get motivated by watching other people absolutely CRUSH the workout, this location is for you. Lots of highly motivated and fit individuals. It can be a bit intimidating, but everyone is lovely and supportive. I would say there are certain injuries that would be hard to do in this class. If you have a leg or back injury this would be difficult with lots of burpees, running, rowing. Those are common exercises that would be difficult to modify. Amenities: There is a water bottle station. There are areas to place your belongings but they are not locked. The stations are well cleaned, and instructors provide cleansing wipes for the equipment as you switch to different parts of the class.

My health is worth more than the membership…read more Those that don't like the price should jog outdoors and stop complaining. Save the membership fees and also not gain the benefits of the scientifically designed exercises that do much more than develop muscle groups.

Hot yoga is free for members on Sundays at 9:30 a.m. and Tuesdays at 5:30 p.m. You need to get a stamp to enter the class so get there a bit early. It wasn't the best hot yoga I've been to. The room is small and the floors are made of mats instead of hardwood. It wasn't as hot as other studios but I was still sweating buckets. I didn't find the teacher was spectacular either, but you get what you pay for. I liked how they had more machines, I didn't find myself waiting for anything. I haven't used the free weights yet, so I'm not sure about that aspect. The mats at the back of the room STINK. Eww wth I have never smelled mats like that before. There is a room on one side for work out classes and another room for spin classes. The showers aren't as new as the one at the Bramalea City Centre and the sauna is older but everything works fine. There are blow driers, cream, shampoo, conditioner, and an ironing board which is standard for any Goodlife. The locker room is very spacious. I only saw two massage chairs here and my boyfriend says they aren't very good. There are so many temptations around here... candies at Giant tiger, Pizza at Dominos, Mcdonalds, the beer store. It's hard to resist. 24 hrs Monday to Thursday. Only open till 6 on Saturday! Booooo.

I have tried numerous classes including: Newbody (a light intro class that uses light weights to work the entire body) Zumba (Latin inspired dance and fitness) Body Flow (Yoga, Pilates, meditation and my personal fav.) Body Attack (Cardio class) Cardio Blast (Bootcamp style Cardio class..hence the name) Firm Parts (centers around the use of free weights for an entire body workout) Awesome Abs (Short ab workout class) I am still exploring the club and classes, I am very satisfied with the staff and instructors. They are attentive, funny and give everyone the workout that they need. This is a nice gym but ladies can be pigs and sometimes the ladies washrooms are gross... C'mon ladies, clean up after yourselves.
