I eventually moved on from this gym after a few months, the vibe there felt more like a nightclub than a serious gym, was a little too busy for me. I did have a situation with one member who became irate because I was waiting for a machine at a distance on a busy day, he tried to tell me I wasn't allowed to stand and wait close by and I should go for a walk and come back later, while 3 guys shared the machine. Would be nice if they let me work in, or at least let me wait while I catch my breath, he was was extremely combative and aggressive in his conversation with me, however I don't take threats from children seriously . Overall it's a good gym with great staff, and it was also no issue to cancel. Told them and they cancelled me with no hassle, no additional charges. read more

It's a busy/crowded gym, but not bad if you avoid evenings. The machines are ok and most of the time well maintained. The place is always clean in the morning. read more

The service in this place is horrble in my 3 years in this gym they made my time as hard as possible. Changed cards and made me pay the annual fee twice, they wouldn't keep track of their cash payments, and when you want to call them for help you will have to ring their line for at least 10-15 mins and won't even pick up on non-busy hours. read more

This is the only signature location for LA Fitness in the GTA, and there is absolutely whatsoever nothing "signature" about it! You need to pay an extra 20 or $30 a month to access this location, or simply show up and pay four dollars entry of the door just to get access to this location. But with 100% honesty, there is nothing extra about this place at all whatsoever! I really did not find one thing that is considered an add-on value. I have come here three or four times, and my opinion has always been the same and would not change I like signature stuff, I look for a VIP in luxury locations, I enjoy paying more if I know that I am getting a value, but this has nothing, Not being salty here, but it's really doesn't offer you anything more than any other L.A. Fitness that I have been to! read more

Giving it three start only because they are open very early in am and convenient location. Faculty itself is regular gym with a pool/court and some extras you will probably never use. I'm not sure if signature word is applicable. Stuff is mostly nice, sales people are friendly and chatty before you give them you $$$ after that they pretty much do not know you. Personal training has outrageous price with 0 benefits, first trainer - forgot to do assessment, worked out on one thing throughout a course of 2 months and then disappeared, somehow I was not notified at all. Second trainer I was appointed didn't show up. Third trainer cared more about social things going around the gym. Luckily I'm off "personal training" but I'll still keep the membership for now, Dow to convenient hours and location. read more

I love the atmosphere of this gym. It's huge with plenty of space + women's room. The environment, staff and people that workout at this gym are friendly. It's a welcoming environment and I find that I always have casual interactions with new faces. I've never had a bad experience working out here! read more

I signed up for this gym in 2018 because it was signature and provided towel service which non of the other locations do. Now after COVID reopenings they decided to charge higher fees than other locations but stop the towel service to cost cut??? I'm literally paying a premium for this location just for the towel service. That's unacceptable. Now I'm looking for a different gym that provides towel service. read more

Great place to work out. Lots of equipment. Most staff are friendly and treat you well. There are always towels in the morning. Needs an upgrade on some equipment soon. read more

Lots has changed at the gym since my last review so I feel it's time to change my review to reflect the current situation in the gym. IT'S FABULOUS! The new manager and staff are amazing!! When they opened up again the gym was rearranged to allow for distancing. A couple items that were usually in the women's room were not anymore. I mentioned it and they promptly brought them back in or bought new ones (yay!) The gym is super clean and there are plenty of sanitation stations throughout along with spray bottles. read more

Meh.....it's mediocre at best! lots of yahoo's in the pool at night! Also, if it's a signature club shouldn't it have a whirlpool? ....so it's not what I expected at all! So disappointing...no Aqua fit? And they really push personal training...I haven't been working out so before I ever need a personal trainer, I should develop my core! go up and down stairs, use the treadmill and elliptical for at least a month ...start slowly and work your way up! I'm going to GoodLife! read more

Awesome gym, and staff were really helpful, would definitely recommend coming here.

This location use to be great, but recently has gone way way too busy. Huge facility though.

Great hours, facility is amazing. Staff are very helpful whenever you need help. Overall clean. Weights can be out of place at times tho.

The only vip La Fitness that I know in Toronto.. free towel and it is pretty big compare to the other location in Toronto.. Friendly staff.. my favorite spots are basketball court and squash court.. read more

For a good prive they offer so much. Because of it's very reasonable, it gets overcrowded around 5pm but still the best choice in the area

Here is a report from today's visit to this specific location: (1) No one put weights back to the rack, as usual; (2) Most dumbbells were in the wrong place; (3) Two associates were vaping in the shower area; (4) A Farsi-speaking guy was on video phone call or live streaming in the changing room, walking around the place. read more

Great gym, well maintained equipment. Andrew from the front desk was really great to work with.

Horrible experience, bunch of extra payments, the deal was $39/moths, how I pay 50, every 3 months additional $59, they always short of towels, dirty bathrooms. After 6 months I cancelled my membership today. read more

Dishonest and incompetent sales people who do not remember what they have said from one day to the next, keep asking the same questions and after agreeing to the terms of the membership over the phone change them when you come to sign the contract. Uncertain whether it is a corporate practice or a rogue salesperson , but would not touch it with a 10 foot pole. Caveat Emptor read more

This review is over a year in the making! I waited until the dreaded membership cancellation to give this place a proper review. There is nothing I don't like about this gym, except maybe the artificially coloured sugar water offered in the vending machine. The cost of membership is comparable to others in the area and you get to use all of their other locations because this one is a "signature" club. The place is large, brightly lit and rarely ever smells. I've never had trouble getting a machine (there are more than enough) and the classes are pretty good, too. I never used the lockers, swimming pool or sauna. I have also never had any personal training. They offer fresh towels at every visit and there is also a juice bar. Signing up was fairly pressure-free. When it came time for cancellation (I moved away), yes I had to go in person during the week between 9-5pm, but the process was totally painless. I was asked why I was cancelling but wasn't in any way pressured to keep the membership. I have had memberships at Extreme Fitness (way too crowded) and Goodlife (shiesty membership practices) and this gym is better by far than both. We had to pay a $100 initiation fee and also first and last month's membership up front, so be aware of that. There was no contract and they are happy to suspend your membership if you are not going to use the gym during a particular month. Things that could make it better; allow cancellation over the phone at any hour. Offer organic food options and get rid of the vitamin water. Oh and make the pool saltwater instead of chlorine. read more

I've only been to two LA Fitnesses but this is way nicer than the Bellevue location. The Signature club has towel service taken for granted, and a working out space that is vast and open with lots of sunlight. It is stocked with tons of new shiny equipment and a great cardio balcony, each machine with individual TVs. The showers have curtains, and the lockers are keypad locks, although you have to try a few times to find a working lock. read more

Great gym overall! Been going here for about 3 yrs now, and it's my favourite gym. Even the new location that just opened at Dundas and 403 isn't as good (it comes close, but I still like this one better). This location has 2 floors which makes it the largest one. Plus, being a Signature Club, they offer towel service. This is the ONLY signature club in Canada. All other L.A. Fitnesses don't offer it. And if you're a member of this location, you can visit ANY other L.A. Fitness in Canada and U.S.A. at no additional charge! Excellent perks. If only the people would keep this place cleaner it would be even better. I cannot blame L.A. Fitness for the dirty population tho. C.L. read more

This is not at all a fancy gym but for what I was paying per month, it was pretty comparable to the gym I used to go to when I was in school. Prior to LA Fitness, I tried another small, boutique gym that was absolutely horrible due to its lack of stimulating and sweat-breaking workouts (because they clearly catered to a very unfit, older population). LA Fitness Signature's classes are pretty good for the most part. Sometimes the spin classes are a bit boring and lack any sort of variety. There is a pretty good Bootcamp Conditioning class taught by Christine but again, once you've gone several times, it sometimes gets a bit repetitive too. My favourite classes there are ZUMBA - especially the class taught by Sonely. She is like a pixie stick on crack - and you definitely get a crazy, awesome work-out from her!!!! I highly recommend her classes for sure. Otherwise, the gym is presentable and there is a towel service that is great. There's also a juice bar, which I haven't actually tried before. I also do really enjoy the "Women's only" section because you do have lots of privacy and it is more in an enclosed area. read more

So, a little later, I will add some more. The cleaning has now gotten terrible. Shelley's schedule changed, and I don't know whether they have cut back, but there is now mold in the showers etc. There are so many cigarette butts outside, the grass won't grow. Today, it was freezing rain, sleet and snow. I almost wiped out 3X from my car. Inside, the front desk clerk sits on her phone (always), along with a few other staff on their phones - I had to ask them to salt the walk way. The front desk lady's focus is keeping three towels folded - the rest remain in a hump in laundry basket. When you come, she looks up from her phone and gives you on out of the basket... Again, this is all on managements shoulders. No leadership here. Lots of equipment though. read more

I signed up for the pool. The pool was the murkiest pool that I've been in. There was dead skin everywhere. I've been in public pools that were cleaner than this. I've been in public pools with about 75 people and it was cleaner and clearer than this. What is up with the dead skin? It's gross. It cut my workout short cuz I wanted to get out of there as soon as I could. Yet, the pool has a Green passing grade. I really want to know how often this pool gets cleaned. The rest of the gym is fine. The pool is the main reason why I signed up so I am very disappointed. read more

I have been a member at this gym since it opened and prior to that, been a member of the Columbus Centre, the Y, and then Extreme Fitness. The staff here are friendly and the facility is spacious. I have perceived fellow gym goers--for the most part--to be more knowledgable and skillful, on average, than those at my previous gyms. An almost perfect experience for general fitness needs--my only complaint is that they don't enforce the "return your weights" rule, and sometimes during peak hours it looks like a tornado blew through the free weight zone. I guess this will train people's spatial awareness... My guests are often jealous that their gyms aren't as nice as mine and a few have actually made the switch. read more

This is by far the best la gym. I purchased training and membership the same day. My trainer has helped me lose over 30 lbs is the last2.5 months. The management are always very friendly. Place is pretty clean for such a large place. Front desk is happy and usually says hello when I come in. Sometimes they have ran out of towels and I have had to wait 15 before I could shower while waiting for one. But other then that I'm very happy and will remain a member here unless I move too far away read more

Terrible account services. Apparently the only way to cancel your account is if you talk to jacob. He never calls you back, is always on break and dodges your email as well. I switch my cc and was called by there accounts team that i need to update my card. I mentioned i would gladly give them my new card to pay missed dues but i want to cancel. They took my card info and then didn't cancel put it on freeze. Later when i called back to speak to the girl. She mentioned she had no authority to cancel the account so she put it on hold. That i would need to call jacob who isn't in. I ask her to have him call back never did. She gave me the national number and again coun't reach anyone to cancel. Totally scam. I'll be reporting to bbb. read more

Come to the Donmills Signature club if you like to see weights all over the floor and nothing being done about it. The trainers do not even put weights back, especially one named Shazab, who is part of the problem. He left 6 dumbbells in the weight area on the floor (10s and 5s) after training a couple. This is absolutely unacceptable and a complete safety hazard. People can easily trip on these dumbbells and sprain an ankle. I complained to front desk manager and he literally did nothing, said "I will let his boss know." What he should have done was send someone to the weights area to put those weights back! The new staff members who walk around, completely avoid the weights area, they do not even come near the weights to help re-rack them. Honestly this club is not worth the extra cost per month. I have had better experiences at the non-signature clubs. The Donmills club provides more hazards with tons of weights all over the floor, less weight options for women, members having to share 1 set of dumbbells because of the lack of weights available, not enough flat benches, no "in-between" weights, and just busier with more entitled people and trainers who do not have any respect to put their weights back. read more

It's been exactly one year since I last reviewed this place. Thankfully, a lot of the issues I brought up last year have been addressed. Lockers: They changed the locker system and got rid of the frustrating keypad locks. They were a nuisance for two reasons: 1) they consistently broke, died or malfunctioned; and 2) it made it very hard to remember which locker was yours. You now have to bring your own lock, which helps to overcome the second point somewhat since not all the locks are identical. For some reason it is much, much easier to find an empty locker these days. I don't know if people just stopped using lockers or are too lazy/cheap to buy a $5 lock (they even sell them at the juice bar), but I never have to hunt for a locker anymore even during peak hours. Towels: The towel stations are still useless and should probably just be removed. There are never towels in them. All the towels are usually at the front, and availability has improved. There are some occasions when they are in the process of washing a new batch, but it's not problematic. They've also done away with the "You can only get towels when you check in" rule. Overall I've seen a pretty drastic improvement in the gym over the last year. There's a different vibe from what I can tell. The memberships seem to have leveled off; I've even encountered several nights where the basketball court was empty at 8 pm. I hope the improvements are maintained. read more

This location is actually quite bad compared to others. Often not clean, the managers are not very capable and the trainers (except maybe 1 or 2) are barely competent. Female trainers are borderline rude and rarely even say hello to regular members. Just caught one of them using her cellphone to text in the change room which is a big no and there are even signs stating - absolutely no cell use. The one saving thing is morning cleaners Aaron and Shelley are lovely so hopefully they keep them on staff. Otherwise - location is quite large so that's another positive. If it wasn't 10 min from my house I would go elsewhere. read more

Through my work place I have a very good rate with GoodLife fitness but they request an yearly commitment. Also, I have a friend who goes to LA Fitness and I am tempted to go with her. Another reason for me to choose LA Fitness is that they don't ask for a long term commitment, you can cancel it anytime. My first impression about LA Fitness, Don Mills location in Toronto is an excellent one. I requested a quotation for membership and Omid Amin was very helpful. He did whatever was under his power and expertise and came out with a comparable quote with the one that could get through my workplace. Thank you, Omid! read more

I've been a member from day one. When it was brand new it was spotless (of course), had towels in the bins on the floor, and was fully stocked. Fast forward 5 years and the kleenex dispensors in the changerooms are empty, the dust (aka dead skin) on the artificial plants is disgusting, there are sweat stains all over the stairclimbers (and therefore everywhere else), staff don't care if you're or not, you have to get towels from the front desk and finally serious water damage happening in the women's shower area. It's very disappointing that you're joining what you think is an executive type club (towel service etc), but they revoked that pretty quick. The lack of cleaning is what really bothers me..I know the benches are never wiped or disinfected....we've ALL seen the gross sweat head mark on the benches. I want them to post signs that say "It's ok to bring 2 or 3 change of tshirts......ie, stop walking around, getting on all the equipment, and dripping your body fluids all over........change your damned shirt - it takes 2 minutes. People can be so gross. read more

Not sure about the other locations, but the Don Mills location is probably the worst gym I've ever been a member of. The biggest reason is the management, which is probably the most unprofessional I've ever seen at an institution as large as this and often makes me wonder how they are still in business. The gym has been full of "out of service" machines for months, weights are never stacked, fights regularly breaking out in the basketball courts, people being robbed in the parking and inside the locker room, towels are practically never available when you need them, and the management basically only care about signing you up for the initiation fee, after which point any membership-related needs are ignored. I see a lot of reviews saying it's big, well-lit, clean, etc; and yeah, the cleaning staff do a great job. Is meeting that bare minimum really enough to suffice paying the high membership fee for this club? I've been a member at YMCA, Goodlife and Fitness Institute and all of them have been miles better. Do yourself a favour and go to literally any other gym. read more

This is my favourite location in Toronto -- lots of equipment, clean changing room, and friendly staff. The pool and basketball court are a huge plus. Overall, it's a well-run operation with a welcoming workout environment. read more

Very good impression the first time stepping into the Don Mills signature club. Staff are welcoming when you enter which is great to be acknowledged when you come in. They are knowledgeable and don't use pushy sales tactics to get you to sign up. Overall a very clean gym, variety of amenities and classes are really simple to follow. I highly recommended this gym to all my friends and family. read more

I frozen my account one day after their opening in July , and they charged me again for monthly payment and annual fee!!!!

AMAZING STAFF AND CLUB! Love the energy and environment! extremely clean, top of line equipment!
