“Exactly 1 year today, February 1st at this time since I joined Crossfit Pickering! Great environment, truly a family atmosphere, caring Coaches, their effort made to ensure my movements are correct, knowledgeable and supportive if I needed to modified my WOD. Athletes are truly amazing and friendly. I have been to a lot of places but Crossfit Pickering is the best!”

“Had my two first classes at Pure Energy Fitness and what a great workout with a great group of people. Everyone was welcoming and the instructor Linda was enthusiastic and friendly. Will definitely continue to attend Zumba classes with these amazing people.”

“I used to come here years ago and just recently signed up again. Bill is one of the nicest gym owners I’ve met. The gym has literally everything you beee, and it’s a great atmosphere. Couldn’t recommend it more”

“We recently started our fitness journey with Retraine Fitness, and so far we are pleased with the experience. We've had the pleasure of working with Yousef for two personal training sessions, and they have been good. Yousef is knowledgeable, motivating, and attentive to our fitness goals and needs. He tailors each session to ensure we get the most out of the workouts, pushing us just the right amount to achieve progress without feeling overwhelmed.

Additionally, the owner, Ammar, has created a welcoming and supportive environment at Retraine Fitness. The facility is well-equipped, and looks conducive to both beginners and seasoned fitness enthusiasts. Ammar's dedication to providing a good fitness experience is evident in the gym.

Though we've only had two sessions so far, we are confident that Retraine Fitness will be instrumental in helping us reach our fitness goals. I highly recommend Yousef as a personal trainer and Retraine Fitness as a whole for anyone looking to embark on or enhance their fitness journey.”

“It doesn't have the necessary weight every time but it is a good place to train. It's a gym where you train on your own. Nobody guides you just the app if you want and although many times they talk to you because they have to respond to you and it is uncomfortable. It's a place where you can train. It doesn't have free weight but it's fine ?? the massage machines and more are great and I would like to see that they modernize them as they show they do in other places as I saw on social networks.”

“Wow, needed a new gym closer to home. Got welcomed here with open arms, great vibe in here, great gym etiquitte, basketball court, and Mike the owner is as nice of a guy as it gets!”

“This is mine and my partners go to gym. While we don't know the regulars by name it makes us feel part of a community. It is always clean and the staff are always friendly.”

“It saddens me to see some negative reviews about the Pickering location in regards to machines and cleanliness....

This place is clean! Beautifully clean. It has never had so much as a bad odor. There is ALWAYS someone cleaning (wiping machines, cleaning change room, showers, etc)

I've rarely (if ever) had to wait for a machine. It's easy enough to choose another machine or bench for a few minutes until others come available. It's never THAT busy that you have to actually wait for any machines.

I've never seen the sauna out of order (as mentioned by another reviewer).... nor have I seen machines broken for long periods of time. They seem very prompt in fixing anything broken.

My only "complaint" is the hours of this location. However, I assume that is due to the location being in the mall since the Ajax location has after-hours access.”
