I can't say enough how good the classes are and the all the trainers are awesome. I finally have some one to ask questions about diet and nutrition and kick my ass in the studio. I love the way I look. I have a better and healthier physique now than I did in my 20's. My only regret is that I wish I found them sooner!!!!! Rose J (HG Markham member since Oct 2018)

No one likes doing the same routine week to week . It's good to change it up ! Hourglass keeps me happy , and confident . Sue really knows how to kick your but in class , sometimes literally ! Haha . Francine is always full of energy and just knows how to make me sweat with a smile at the same time . Judy , always has really tough circuits, most times I can't walk for a day or two after haha . It's the best feeling because you know you kicked but . Honestly every trainer is unique and amazing in their own way and I'm so happy with all of them. They all share one big thing in common . They care about your fitness goal and will help in any way to get you that much closer to it .

Friendly staff and the facility has all the equipment I need for a work out…read more The membership price is very affordable. Compared to planet fitness and goodlife, there are more weights available. The only 1 downside is that this is an independent gym, there are no other locations if I could not make it back to town to continue my routine.

I signed up with Markville Fitness and paid yearly membership fee. When I needed to cancel due to…read morepermanent move to USA and requested a refund, the business promised multiple times to issue it but never followed through, starting September 2025. I had to escalate this to the Ontario Ministry of Public and Business Service Delivery and Procurement (File No. CAS-118402-S3D3H). Only after government intervention did the owner, Chris Mulchinock, agree in writing to send a refund -- but as of 01-21-2026, I still have not received it. See attached screenshots for documentation, including the government case confirmation, and the owner's written commitment to refund. This has been ongoing for months. If you're considering this gym, be aware that getting your money back may be extremely difficult. I will continue the path for the refund, and I will update this review if and when the refund is actually received.

I mainly come here for the hot yoga classes, at first I wasn't sure which classes or instructors to…read moretry, but I quickly learned the popular ones are full for a reason. Leila and Xiao are my favourites, they run challenging, welcoming classes that leave me feeling both worked out and mentally refreshed. I've also taken a few Hyrox Foundations classes, which are pretty intense, and great for building strength and endurance. I don't use the gym equipment much, but I do enjoy the recovery room especially the cryo massage chair after hot yoga, which is a great way to finish a session. The main downsides are how busy it gets during peak times and limited parking since it's shared with Loblaws. The yoga studio floor could also be cleaner, as it sometimes feels sticky.

I normally hate writing bad reviews but this is the only gym where I have seen such lazy behavior…read morefrom the staff members. the reason why I liked this club is because it's just for women's and barely anyone is inside the gym (which is great for this time period). HOWEVER the staff here are extremely rude (expect for the older lady with the blond hair) and from my point of view they get paid for being on their phone. No matter how nice you are to them, they always give you attitude... Also I want to point out that no one wears a mask here except for the staff, and "wiping down the machines" doesn't do much. It only makes the next person who uses it feel a bit better that it is SLIGHTLY cleaned. I have also seen them "clean the Machines after everyone is gone, and it is complete nonsense. The alcohol spray misses big chunks of the machine and it doesn't get cleaned properly. Overall I won't be coming to this gym in a while and I hope they fix this mess that has been going on for the last two years I have been here.

Located at NE corner of Highway 7 and McCowan Road, this new 9Round Fitness franchise has been…read moreopened for exactly a month now, and a lot of people have been raving about it (including myself... I've been seeing results!) It is a 30-minute circuit training with 9 stations, including a full body workout; you work with in-house personal trainers, and you get to punch and kick stuff #whynot lol. Another good thing is that you can drop in any time; the circuit starts every 3 minutes - just jump right in! The only time you need to book a time slot is when you sign up via website for a free trial session to see if you like it :) Please do take advantage of it if you're curious/interested and if you want to make a different in your overall health! Honestly, I have been such a long time yogi; I was a bit iffy about kickboxing/circuit training when my coworker asked me to join - it does sound a bit rough and I'm too fragile and delicate LMAO. I have decided to give 9Round a try; I go with my coworker at least 1-2 times a week after work. You can do the training stations by yourself, or work in pairs - which is what we did - it was more interactive, we had a lot more fun, and we push each other to work harder! After a month, I noticed that I have become stronger (now with muscles!), toner and my metabolism has surprisingly increased (aka, I eat a lot more now! Food fuels my hungry muscles lol). The owners, Joe and Irene, are very welcoming and passionate people, and they know your names by heart right when you walk in... okay maybe not Joe, he still mixes me and Julie up lol. The trainers at 9Round are friendly and encouraging, and always cheering us on... even though I know they are sweaty and tired. So, thank you :) Overall, I see potential that 9Round will do very well. I have already seen improvement - the way the manage the time, the flow of the stations, the adjustments and alterations for kickboxers of varioius levels. A quick shoutout to trainer, Ken - thank you for customizing my last workout, I really appreciate that. #girlWHOhasFATarms lol. Keep up the good work, 9Round :) P.S. Make sure you bring your indoor shoes! Owners pride on keeping their place clean at all times :)

I can't believe I've been to 9Round since September 2017!! During last summer, I was told I needed…read moreto workout more to balance my food blogging hobby (eating WAY too much) and at that time I was introduced to 9Round by my fellow yelper and friend Cherrie. I came in for a 30 minutes trial with Joe and immediately felt in love with in. Talk about a FULL body workout, I recall I was in pain for 3 days after my free trial! This wasn't the ONLY reason why I joined though, Joe, Irene and their trainers are all so devoted in ensuring you get a good workout everytime and slowly increases the difficulties as they assess your progression. I can't squat AT ALL back then and now I can say I can do a pretty good squat hold. 30 minutes workout, 9 stations, 3 minutes each station really doesn't take too much time at all and you feel GREAT after. I try my best to come here 3 times a week usually after work, see if you can catch me at 9Round one day throwing some punches and kicks! Special shoutouts to the great previous and current trainers here! Joe, Ken, Michael x 2, Steve, Jade, Peter and of course Irene for making a 30 minutes workout intense AND fun at the same time!

Came for a reformers pilates and was hooked!…read more I was greeted by Christina, one of the owners of the studio and she gave me a quick tour of the place, letting me know of all the other workout classes they also offer. The upstairs is where the reformer pilates takes place and is the newer part of the studio. The studio is clean and super welcoming. They have spin, barre classes, mat pilates and reformer pilates. I made my way upstairs where the room was beautifully lit from all the big windows. The workout itself was a 5/5, as it worked me hard! Loved Christina's energy in motivating the class and fixing people's forms if they were off. The music choice was also very good and upbeat. Reformers pilates level 2 is definitely a tough one that will get your body shaking in ways you didn't know it could. I left the class feeling super energized and happy. I can't wait to come back again and again! Would highly recommend this studio for all!
