Fitness & Gyms near East York, ON

“If you’re looking for a new gym, look no further.

This is probably the best gym I’ve ever been a member of. It’s big and spacious, and there’s plenty of natural light. The membership costs are very reasonable. It’s not very busy during peak hours. There’s a great selection of machines to choose from for each muscle group. People here practice proper gym etiquette, especially returning weights, unlike other places I’ve been. Additionally, I really appreciate the cleanliness of the change rooms.

New members are also offered a free fitness assessment. I found this was really helpful for me, and gave me lots of insight. George helped me find my weaknesses/limitations, and gave me many useful exercises, as well as dietary recommendations based on my body composition, that would help me improve, and reach my goals.”

“I've always been intimidated by weights and weight rooms. I'm introverted and awkward so always avoided these spaces but as an aging woman I've had to step out of my comfort zone and start lifting. IA has helped SO much with this. They have small class sizes with amazing coaches who listen to your concerns and adapt your workouts as needed. They're super motivating, take the time to help you though each lift no matter how many times you need help and provide a safe and comfortable space to learn, grow and succeed. I'm so happy I came across them. I would have given up long ago without their guidance and highly recommend!”

“I’ve been training with Keyvan for about a month now, and the experience has been fantastic. He is knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely invested in helping his clients reach their goals.

What stands out most is how supportive and encouraging he is throughout the process. He pushes me to challenge myself while making sure I maintain proper form and stay focused on my goals. His positive attitude and attention to detail make every session both effective and enjoyable.

Since working with him, I’ve lost 11 lbs and noticed significant improvements in my strength, fitness, and overall confidence in the gym.

I highly recommend Keyvan to anyone looking for a trainer who is supportive, encouraging, and committed to helping you achieve real results.”

“wanted to shout out all the coaches at fit factory from Stephanie to Mikey, Lucas, Patrick, Amanda and Stefan and all their staff it’s an amazing gym and really encourages you to do and give your best every day!”

“I have wanted to get into my physical health for years but nothing really excited me to keep going but at NTC I discovered what works for me, it is challenging but fun and the people are Amazing, Clients and Staff. So grateful that I joined, thank you for your Awesome CrossFit Gym.

Sincerely
Wendy Bentley”

“Amazing studio — such a neighbourhood gem, and I feel so lucky to have it close by. The trainers are incredibly supportive, and the whole space feels refreshing and empowering to work out in. The music is great, Brianna's classes will especially kick your butt, and Kelly is such an intuitive and attentive coach. She really pays attention to your individual needs from day one and helps tailor workouts and plans that support your body and help you grow stronger—without pushing you too hard too fast. I love it here, love the female energy/support in a workout space and will be back soon. Thanks Move<3”

“I have been working out at this gym for many years.
The professionalism of management and cleanliness of the club is outstanding.
Highly recommend Snap Fitness Markham for anyone looking for the complete workout package delivered with courtesy and respect.”

“The owner is great. She does a lot of classes and is very friendly and was offering to show the blue jays world series game at her studio. I came here specifically for restorative class and though my first class was great enough to come back a 2nd time, I think restorative yoga would be best for me if it were quieter with less talking which allows more focus on the individual body as per Judith lasaters restorative yoga instruction. The teacher Monica is super kind nevertheless!”

“The best workout community I’ve ever hard. Moving here to canada I was really looking and want to try doing gyms when my friend introduced me this F45 gym at first I really don’t like it cause it was though! Way to intense for me coming from the philippines work out there is way to different than here. BUT MARIAM and the fellow coaches really help me and motivates me in this journey. I was so happy from being the girl who used to be having no cinfidence because of my weight but now I gained more and a lot of confidence of how i’ve transformed. Stronger, Bolder and Confident!. I so live this community we are not just members we are FAMILY ????❤️❤️❤️. THANK YOU F45!!! We crushed it!!”

“Literally the best training gym I’ve been at. Great people, location and the gym is always tidy & clean. Amy is also the best trainer! I look forward to coming here every week.”

“THE gym with THE BEST COMMUNITY! My first day at Fitness Fusebox I knew right away I HAD to get a membership. ALL the coaches are beyond AMAZING, pushing you past your limits. Even on the days I don’t have the energy to push myself, I know I still should show up. SHOW UP for yourself and the coaches will take care of the rest!! Because of the community and coaches here I will be doing my first HYROX Race! HYROX Toronto 2026 here I come!! 💪🏼🔥”

“I love this place! After being at several gyms I can’t say enough great things about Tidal!
Coaching- excellent
Community - excellent
This gym has been so supportive and fun and it’s for people in all ages and stages of their fitness journey.”

“My husband and I joined 416 a few months ago and it’s honestly changed our life. We were looking for a gym downtown that wasn’t a generic chain gym, but built around strength, not like most gyms in Toronto that are centred around cardio classes and/pilates. We stumbled on 416 which was great because it’s only a 15 minute walk from our home, so no long commute. Once we started we were hooked. Having the ability to take classes in a few different strength disciplines (CrossFit, bodybuilding, and Hyrox) was so nice to structure our workout week. The community is also unlike any other gym, the best vibes. Highly recommend. Added bonus: not having to plan an elaborate date night, just take a class with your partner on a Friday night.”

“Fuel Training Club is one of those gyms where you read the reviews and realize people don't just train here, they belong here. 117 five star reviews over twelve years on Dundas West. That's not a trend. That's trust.
Greg if you're reading this I put together a whole video breakdown on the backend. It's in your inbox. Look for the email with the thumbnail. 5 minutes and it's specific to Fuel.”

“F45 is a VIBE! Great music! Knowledgeable, NON-judgmental, kind Trainers who clearly take the time before a workout to read my chart and familiarize themselves with my little joint frailties, so they can best guide me from the start and consistent checking in! Clear descriptions of correct form on the screens at all times for each exercise! No posing or intimidation from other clients, just 45 mins of focused fun, satisfying workouts! Reliable start and end times, clean, sanitary, organized space and conveniently located at Yonge and Eglinton. love, love LOVE F45!!”

“VRTU is one of the best gym I've trained at. The instructors are knowledgeable, supportive, and invested in helping everyone improve, whether you're a complete beginner or have experience. The community is friendly and inclusive, and I've never felt judged during training. The facility is clean, well-equipped, and offers a great variety of classes throughout the week. Since joining, I've noticed improvements in my fitness and strength. I highly recommend giving VRTU a try.”

“Four years ago, middle aged, sedentary, overweight and metabolically in the danger zone, my spouse and doctor thought I was nuts to start my exercise journey at Metric Fitness, with CrossFit enthusiasts. However, it was one of the best decisions I made, and keep coming back for their expert trainers:

1. Julian, improved my metabolic health within 4 months (without medications).

2. Nilo, customized group classes to meet me at my fitness level.

3. After a rough year, Josh keeps me motivated to keep exercise as part of my life...for life.

Don't be intimidated by the buffed bodies walking in and out of Metric Fitness, the trainers will get you there. Thanks guys!”

“I love Bomb. All the instructors are wonderful, but I especially love my classes with Karen, Rachel, and Albert. Such lovely people, and good teachers. Albert's Saturday morning yoga class is the highlight of my week.”

“I recently joined Striation 6 and could not be happier. My fiancé and I have been training with Ben several times a week and have noticed significant improvements in our strength and overall fitness. Thanks for everything, Ben!”

“Best gym I’ve ever been to. Owners that really understand not only physiology and exercise but have built a fantastic community around cross fit Olympic lifting and other exercises. As someone in their mid 50s I found it welcoming and it worked with my conditions and energy levels and pushed me without injury.”

“I’ve been doing functional fitness for a few years, but I never really stuck with a program long-term until I joined Mind Set. The methodology behind the program is top notch, pushes you to get stronger, more athletic, and improve your conditioning in a balanced way.

Since joining, I actually look forward to every session. The coaches are great, super knowledgeable, approachable, and they know how to push you without overdoing it.

I also like that your progress is tracked, the community is genuinely supportive, and the space itself is big (which makes a difference compared to some cramped gyms).

I love it. Highly recommend!”

“I really enjoy doing Pilates at Quad Fit Club—the space is very spacious, so it never feels crowded, and it creates a comfortable environment to focus on your workout. They offer a great variety of sports and fitness options, which makes it easy to try different activities and keep things interesting. I also appreciate the private areas, as they give you a more personal and relaxed experience. Overall, it’s a clean, well-designed gym with a versatile setup that I’d definitely recommend.”

“F45 don mills is my great place. I have recently became a member in that gym, the trainers are very professional , Annika Mehdi Neeraj Ivan Camilo are super nice and try to push you to the limit , Mihai the studio manager is a real warrior ?? A mix of 45 minutes training session that makes your body muscles at work , the place is well ventilated very clean , a warm welcome each day you check in , it’s a real life changer being part of F45”

“Dupont Vive is an excellent gym. It is small but not crowded which means equipment is always available. It is well kept, clean and the staff are very friendly. I'm excited for my next workout.”

“KX is truly a special place, and it’s really due to the KX team. The equipment, atmosphere, amenities, etc are great, then on top of that, every single person I have interacted with there has been fantastic - incredibly knowledgeable, talented, and a pleasure to work with. The team has been fundamental to my rehab since a bike crash and there’s not a chance I would be where I am now without their support. They truly care about your health and progress, and the training, nutrition, and lifestyle planning are designed specifically to your unique situation.

I would also highly recommend seeing Jordan Strutt, the Osteopathic Manual Practitioner at KX. I have seen plenty of chiropractors and physiotherapists in the past and none match the level of talent, dedication, and care that Jordan has. His ability to diagnose root causes, treat the situation during the sessions, and develop the right plan for care outside of the sessions has been incredibly productive and critical to my recovery. There is significant benefit to simultaneously working with the trainers at KX while seeing Jordan – they collaborate seamlessly to 1) ensure the exercises done in the gym are designed to progress the plan, and 2) ensure there’s 2 way feedback on how your body is moving and feeling both during the osteo session and during the workout in the gym so the plan always targets the right thing at the right time in the right way.

In addition to Jordan, I’ve worked with Joe, Kerem, Rebecca, Hans, and Mara; everything I’ve said above is equally true for them all – they are fantastic. Adriano has created a unique place, and he has shown true care for my progress.”

“Getting tennis elbow was no fun. Shavaiz helped me through it. I looked forward to every session for relief of my elbow. He also emphasized exercise for recovery. Overall, a great place to go to take care of yourself!”

“This gym has everything you could possibly need when it comes to equipment. The atmosphere is amazing, the energy is motivating, and the staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. The trainers truly know their stuff and make you feel welcome from day one. I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking for a great place to train.”

“I loooove this place! The owner is great and the trainers are 10/10. Highly recommend personal training here. The gym itself feels like a playground and is a fun environment to workout in. Very glad I found this place!”

“One of the best boxing gyms in Canada let alone Toronto.
The solid, consistant workout structure/schedule/style is the Oriental School of boxing (Romanian). Coordination over constance, moderation over repetition (burnout). Collectively & individually challenging, emphasis on coordination/athleticism with the circuit, tire, & medicine ball drills, which are fun, beneficial for the sport and at the same time maintain an appetite to fight while working and preserving your athleticism. Even the rec class is done professionally. I particularly appreciate the fixed Wednesday/Friday 6pm sparring sessions that other T.O. boxers arrive at unannounced. This gym offers the magic the West could never understand, the ballet of fighting is sweet, not grungy. Recommended for long-term boxers.
Teodorescu coached Lennox Lewis among others. His son carries on the legend.”
