Reviews of SydFIT Health Centre (Gym)

Dylan Dombroski

The excellence in boxing, at affordable prices. The number one training experience provided by the 2004 #1 Ranked World Middleweight contender as recognized by the International Boxing Federation. An excellent faculty of coaching staff that will help you reach your goals, blast through plateaus and exceed your expectations. Skills development that will lend you opportunity to obtain mastery, should you put in the time and effort. There is no better gym to be at in North America.

Always On Friday

A great atmosphere to support your fitness and weight loss goals- fantastic team of dedicated individuals that want to help you and be apart of your healthy lifestyle! Syd and his club manager Eryn are very selective on who represents the club so you're always in good hand weither your in for a class, personal traning or a massage.

I started at SydFit one year ago and I am still here. The gym's atmosphere makes you feel like you are part of a family. It's a place where you feel positive because everyone is motivated, inspiring, and always happy to see their clients show up. I've met some of the most incredible people here and my views of health, fitness, and well being has changed for the better. At SydFit, you only get better.

I have been training out of Syd's facility for the last three months in preparation of a charity bout and think the staff, location, resources are great. Even the time since I started, he put in some serious upgrades. I intend on taking on some offered classes and think the community of people there are really friendly. See you there!

Mindy Neill

Loved my experience at SydFIT. My coach pushed me to levels Im not capable of pushing myself to independently in the gym.

Stacy McMahon

I went to the video shoot with Syd. This was my introduction to boxing. I never thought it would have been as fun as it was because I'm not a fighter but wow I loved it and will in the future take a class or two or more. Syd and his team are very friendly, welcoming and they do a great job teaching in a way that is not overwhelming. Thank you Syd and Team see you in the near future. You guys all ROCK!!!

Ever since i was little, I've always wanted to start boxing. i moved to Kitchener and my dad was more than eager to sign me up for boxing. conveniently, SydFIT is really close to my house. My dad was looking for good prices and great coaching to get me set up. and we found it all SydFIT. I've now been here for 7 months and I've gained unbelievable results due to the amazing trainers here. great training place with many determined trainers ready to make a change.

Paul Salazar

Boxing requires an overwhelming commitment. The physical and mental demands are high and the support you receive from trainers and the facility have a massive impact. I've found the SydFIT team to be both welcoming and supportive throughout my experience. I love the commitment to the technical aspects but also how the team intrinsically builds resilience and mental strength in every session. Hard to believe but you will find yourself eagerly coming back for another beating in very short order!

Syb Fitness what an awesome experience had the idea for a date night what a way to spend the day but the person you love with a boxing workout we had no boxing experience they took us in and made us feel like Champs I highly recommend getting off the couch and get the fight back into you at Syb Fitness

Dean Benard

I am learning something new every day and everyone there is so helpful and friendly. A great place to train all around

Lance Clyne

Syd's gym has been fantastic to work out. I have enjoyed the personal attention and gotten in the shape of my life. The workouts and instructors have been fantastic!

Jynelle Bourne

I joined SydFit a little over a year ago and I love the atmosphere there. It's not just a club with members...it a family. Everyone who walks in through those doors are welcomed with smile,a non judgemental attitude and you quickly learn that each and every member is truly and honestly cared about! For example, one day my back went into spasm and I was literally stuck the SydFit Health Centre Massage Therapist Natiely Lai was right there to do all she could to help me relieve the pain. She knew right away what the problem was and treated me, gave me her recommendations on what to do over the next few days...and I was back to lifting...and boxing in no time. Natiely also followed up with me within in a few days to make sure I was doing better and made it clear that anytime I needed her she would always be there to do what she could. As I said, each member is truly cared for!

Caroline Brohman

Since a very young age, I have been always involved in some sort athletic team or dance club, as my parents always thought keeping me busy was the best idea. A year ago, I graduated from Western and while I was there I joined a crossfit club for 2 years where I competed and hit lift records I could never imagine. When I moved back to KW, I was sort of lost in terms of finding a gym. Through the summer months I did remote training from a former coach and used the facilities that GoodLife had. I was stuck. I didn't have the motivation to want to go, and when I did go, I didn't have the push, and personally, I was falling out of love with the crossfit. I did some research and found Syd's. I remembered that my older brother Ronnie used to work with Syd when he played hockey, so I asked him his honest opinion whether or not I'd like it. He began to say "it will be the best workout you ever have", and he was right. I joined Sydfit eventually in September and since then I haven't looked back. Syd has worked with me to hit new fitness goals, helped with achieving my weight goals and has and is extremely valuable. I can honestly say that my fitness level has steadily approved since joining and I couldn't be happier. I of course still have a way to go, but I continue to work with Syd on a daily basis. I have done so many forms of exercise, spinning, running, crossfit, cross training and I continue them today but I can honestly say I love Sydfit. The atmosphere is amazing, the workout is great and I can come in knowing that I will get a full body workout and be dipping in sweat. Thank you Syd and the Sydfit team for helping me find my new gym home.

great team of people that are committed

Natalie Moyes

I have had nothing but great experiences at SydFIT! Between the yoga, naturopathy, massage, personal training and fitness boxing it really is all you need for health and fitness needs!

Melanie Gold

Absolutely love this gym! Very welcoming and friendly. They are keeping me active through covid with zoom classes. A cozy community loving place to learn how to box and stay fit. Great trainers too to help with nutrition ????

Brendan Levanto

Great facility with great trainers who make you feel comfortable, are supportive and encouraging, and hold you accountable to ensure you hit your goals. Glad to be part of the 'SydFam'!

FickZ

Syd and his coaches are amazing! Incredibly positive and supportive atmosphere. Don't feel like you're working out but hanging with friends

Majid Mirza

Very few Google ratings are 5/5 stars and I'm not surprised that SydFit is rated like this. Have been loving my workouts since I joined about a month ago and the trainers are fantastic. True family/community vibe difficult to find anywhere in the world these days. My 4 year old loves tagging along as well. Super friendly atmosphere and they are great with kids.

Shawn Jones

Absolutely world class facility and the owner of the gym is a genuine nice guy, salt of the earth!

Patrick Lam

Sydfit offers 5-star experience to my boxing training through both personal training sessions and semi-private classes!! Living in KW and being involved in various martial arts schools over 20+ years, I have been following Syd and Team Destiny on social media but have not yet been able to find time to really focus on boxing until this year. Since my initial inquiry for class schedules and fees, the Sydfit admin team (Sonya and Eryn) always provide quick informative response and they are very accommodating. During my initial assessment, I was greeted by personal trainer, Jeff, whom was very thorough when testing my fitness level and more importantly he really listened to what I am looking for in boxing training. While I appreciate the health and fitness aspects, I expressed my desire to improve my technical skills and combative applications. He then recommended Kaitlyn as my personal trainer, whom has a lot of competitive experience and currently a Canadian champion. Since day one, Kaitlyn has been very professional, technical and a tough coach (in the best possible way), yet super friendly to work with. She paid very close attention to my stances, footwork, angles, distancing and techniques. In later sessions after we have covered the fundamentals for a while, she would record and play back my bag drills and shadowboxing work for detailed analysis on why and how to improve areas I need to work on. She always able to relate combative techniques and strategies to her own ring fight experience. This in turn, helped me better to understand why and how each detail is important to better improving my boxing skills. I have also joined Syd's semi-private (small group) classes. Before I walked into his first class, the word I would describe was "starstruck" and a bit nervous knowing how many great athletes, including Olympians he has trained. But as soon as I walked through the door, those feelings have immediately dissolved when I was greeted by his smiles and super friendliness. In fact, I have not seen a single instance where Syd would not smile at us and made you feel right at home. Though it has only been 45+ days, I feel I have been training at Sydfit for years. Without stating the obvious too much, his teaching and coaching are really top notch. His 45 minute classes are very high energy with great efficiency. It is also great working in small group where we keep each other motivated all the time. Sydfit offers various types of classes and size ranging from fitness oriented to their competitive programs. I feel I have found the happy medium and balance through my personal training sessions and semi-private classes. I would strongly recommend to try them out if you are considering adding boxing to your fitness regimen. Thanks.

Lori South

My husband, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's in the spring of 2016, has been going to Syd Fit over a year now. He and his trainer, Jynelle, have managed to curtail the illness with exercises and boxing!! We had a special visit today w family to watch. Great place for any ages!

Melanie McConnery

Love the atmosphere at Sydfit! The staff are so friendly and helpful, they truly care about helping me reach my fitness goals.

Andrea Hazenberg

In April I started taking part in a boxing boot camp for teachers with a number of my colleagues. I didn't know what to expect when I signed up for boxing but I am so glad I did. My experience at Sydfit has been fantastic. The staff are friendly and supportive and our trainer Mel is amazing. She knows her stuff and pushes us beyond what we think our limits are. I feel amazing after every workout both physically and mentally. I would highly recommend boxing training as a fantastic physical workout and the best place in the KW area to do it is at Sydfit in Kitchener.

Daniela Weber

Started going to SydFit in in 2014 looking for a way to get stronger, fit and ready for an Australia/New Zealand adventure, and refusing to give my anemia any power over me. 3 years later, after a few workout adjustments my husband has noticed I have significantly more energy. Syd and the team are always there to help, guide, advise and motivate and above all support you!

Ashley Hyatt

When I moved from the GTA to KW the thing I was the most nervous about was finding a new boxing gym. Am I ever glad I found SydFIT! The atmosphere is very supportive and inviting. I was the impressed by the staff making an effort to get to know me, and the patrons are also very warm and friendly. This gym is a gem in the boxing community and caters to people at all stages of fitness, from those who are just getting into exercise all way to people who are competitive boxers. There is truly something for everyone at SydFIT. I was blown away with how inovative Syd and the staff were when the pandemic hit to transition to virtual boxing and fitness clases as well as assigning personalized exercises that do not require any equipment. This has been such a great way to stay active, healthy, safe, and connected during these unprecedented times. If you are looking for a fitness community, I strongly recommend connecting wiht SydFIT.

Kimngoc Hoang

We go to the gym not only to help us build strength and improve our fitness level, but also to connect with a liked-minded community. All the trainers here are supportive, encouraging and welcoming, not to mention their expertise. Enjoyable place to go to!

Kelly Hagan

I first came here in 2008 and - never really having worked out a day in my life- the first class was a challenge. I couldn't do a sit up, skipping was a struggle, punching was awkward, and not to mention my lungs were on fire. Fast forward to now, I've had a few fights and I can run 5 km without falling over. The opportunity to learn from skilled coaches in a friendly, positive environment has been great for my own personal goals of gaining confidence and getting in the ring. I highly recommend checking out the gym whether you're a fighter or just looking to get in shape.

matthew mchugh

Awesome place and amazing staff!

Jen Leite

Love Sydfit! health and wellness team and boxing sections are both full of amazing caring people! Get to go have fun dancing, boxing, getting massages and much more!

Matthew Desmeules

Trained at SydFit in preparation for the Champions for Charity event. Incredible experience. Great coaches, learned a lot in a short time. Very positive training environment.

ejaz cyrus

i really love and enjoy being part of this great community! they're all like family. iv'e been training in sydfit for more than a year and half, and can't be more happier with the progress that i had in boxing, and my body. the trainers are very energetic, and passionate about what they do! their sessions are well structured right time frame, well organized, truly inspirational and most enjoyable!. and the head coach( Syd Vanderpool) is a fantastic trainer, and a great example to all of us. He is great at keeping the energy levels high and ensuring that we are all engaged! he genuinely inspires me and makes me feel encouraged. from the first month since i joined sydfit, i had the feeling that i'm going to be a long term member of this great community!

Neboysha Nestorovic

Best gym I've seen and the trainers and owner are phenomenal. Lucky to have a facility of this caliber locally, very thankful.

Becky Tapp

I have been having so much trouble getting into my own routine and active lifestyle. I was very scared and unsure, but starting working out at Sydfit has made it so much fun! I look forward to the classes and friendly staff each time I go! This experience has been both challenging and rewarding already... and I am only on day 5! I am so happy that I gave it a try. Can't wait to keep it up!

Brian R. Sousa

It was an adventure. Great place to get that push you need.

Sandi H-H

I joined the Boxing by Syd Vanderpool/SydFIT in the summer of 2012 at the age of 46. I had no intention of becoming a competitive boxer or even sparring. My only exposure to boxing was seeing the first Rocky film. What I was looking for was something different that I would get me back in shape. I was also looking for a place where the trainers listened, explained, were supportive, knowledgeable and fun. I have old serious knee issues which needed to be worked around. When I met Syd he assured me he had "work arounds" and that I would enjoy the workout and see (and feel!) the benefits quickly. He was right! I was a bit shy at first, feeling like the most unboxing-like person on earth. But the trainers and others members made me feel welcome and soon I was looking forward to every boxing fitness class. And I still look forward to each class. I am down 3 clothing sizes so far. I set goals (with Syd's input) each year and if I waver or have questions, there's always someone there with encouragement and new ideas. I would definitely recommend (and have recommended) SydFIT Health Centre. The boxing fitness classes are great. I also enjoy seeing the people of all ages (from young children to people my age and older) working out hard, learning new skills and getting stronger. SydFIT is a special gym. I can't emphasize that enough.

Josh Baldon (bijey)

So satisfying :)

Amber Sawyer

I have worked with Syd Vanderpool on and off for the past decade. After having my 2 kids, I decided to get back into boxing and the ONLY place I considered going to was Syd's. SydFit isn't just a boxing club. Him and his team genuinely care about every single person that walks through his doors. Whatever your fitness goals are, he will help you meet them. The staff there will push you to be the best version of yourself that you can be. Also, the PEOPLE that go there all support each other and work with one another to ensure that you enjoy the work you put in. I would recommend SydFit to anyone at any fitness level because it is such a versatile establishment. Come join us :)

Jacob Tulk

Sydfit is a great positive place to develop new skills and improve your personal fitness! There is never a dull moment when training with the best staff and training with a class of amazing people! My experience at Sydfit has been nothing but good times and a lot of hard work to improve my skills in boxing. You will be pushed to your personal limits and motivated to do your best every single time you enter the door of the fantastic facility!

Stephanie Steinberg

Great atmosphere, great vibe! I would recommend SydFIT to anyone who is looking for somewhere with great coaches/trainers that will help you accomplish your goals!!

Maria Legault

I started regular classes with the SydFIT team in January of this year - and knew immediately it was going to be a community that would push me towards my personal growth goals while also being a heck of a lot of fun. Despite this year being one full of unexpected changes due to COVID, the SydFIT team has found safe, virtual, and inventive ways to keep us all connected as a community. They truly go above and beyond. If you are looking for a challenging, welcoming, and wonderful environment in which to work out - look no further than SydFIT. You'll be glad you did!

Kaitlyn Clark

I started going to Sydfit on a part time basis for sparring in the fall of 2018. In February 2019 I began training with Syd on a weekly basis and I was welcomed with open arms. Syd provided me with world class training that helped me win a Canadian National Championship in the spring of 2019. After that, I relocated to Kitchener and began training at the Centre on a full-time basis. Not only is Syd one of the best coaches in the business, but he and his team at Sydfit create an environment that is very positive and fun to be in. If you're looking to get into boxing, for fitness or as a competitive fighter, make sure you check out Sydfit. There is no place better!

Lisa Leite

After just one week at SydFit I was so pumped because I finally found a place that I was actually excited to get to. The SydFit team motivated me to work harder than I ever have at any workout. Each class has been about sweating, having fun and learning boxing technique from an amazing team of professionals. Once Covid19 hit and gyms had to close, I was so thankful that SydFit quickly took care of us with Zoom in our living room. I went from 140 to 130 in two months of zoom classes three times a week. I am hooked on SydFit, the people, the centre, and the atmosphere. Thank you so much for taking care of your members SydFit.

Cheryl Boer

I joined Syd’s gym a couple of years ago. On the start date of my class there was a sudden switch in my coach. My daughter signed up as well and had one of the best ladies ever coach her. The class she was in was 20 plus kids ranging in age from 6 to 13 and she got bored real fast. Then my trainer decided to move on and because I got so much out of her classes and her personally I followed her. Not long ago I got a spam mail trying to get me back into his gym. Then we were Facebook friends and I made a very personal post about my mental health. The next day I get an email from a Jeff from Sydfit offering me a free consult and then the email went on about how water drinking and diet and exercise is very important when battling mental health conditions. If Syd had reached out to me personally, would have been a better idea. But to just use something so personal and deep to prospect? That’s not right at all.

Klaudia Torrezao

Absolutely in love with SydFIT. From the moment I stepped foot into the place I encountered the positive energy and inclusive environment. Feeling welcomed into a fitness facility from the moment you arrive is quite remarkable and uncommon. Moreover, the trainers are phenomenal and an energetic team to work with, I am quite appreciative to have worked for such a well-known health promoting community in and outside the boxing ring. I would also like to add that Syd himself and Eryn are also an amusing pair that balances work and fun in such an enjoyable way!

Bubba Jones

Pretty terrible experience. The coach is mostly a cardio boxing kind of guy and only focuses on a couple of the same people all the time.

Stephen Vaillancourt

SydFit Health Centre, is a great place to box! I Recently started boxing here for a charity event I was participating in. Over 13 weeks of training for this event, I formed lasting freindships and great boxing experience. Join if you want a great workout, I lost over 20lbs in 13weeks. You can start at any age, I started at 42. As a Health Centre, I have also experienced the Massage Therapy (Natiely Lai) and Osteopathy Therapy (Sylvia Loureiro) they provide there. It truly is a one stop shop for health and fitness!

Adam M

Incredibly professional and knowledgeable trainers

Katie J

Simply put SydFIT is one of a kind! The positive and inclusive environment that the trainers have created here is incredible. I find myself smiling throughout my entire work out! It has truly been amazing being a new member of the SydFIT family and I could not recommend this place enough.

Rose Galang

I've been at Syd's for almost three years now and what a journey it has been! I was in decent shape when I started, but not even close to a competitive level. I've never competed in any sport before-- not even in high school teams-- nor did I ever imagine I would. But here I am now fighting in amateur shows and tournaments and I'm loving it! When I step into that ring, it's not just me, but a whole team and community with a big heart behind me. I don't just have trainers teaching me how to box, but coaches that really care about their members and want us all to succeed. Super friendly and encouraging, and will really push you to become the best you can be. They say they'll match our level of commitment, and that's just what they do! If you're willing to put in the work, so are they.

Alicia ch

What's not to say ... Supportive & enthusatic trainers & coaches make this gym a welcoming place. The classes challenge you & you enjoy it every time. The members all support each other regardless of fitness level or skill. Syd Fit has helped me start the journey back to great physical & emotional shape .. And learning some boxing basics has me pumped to keep learning to reach bigger goals ! And has even got my kids begging to start boxing .. ????????

Scott Dunbar

Syd has created an inclusive culture that focuses on developing a healthy and active lifestyle. There is something here for everyone! It's the best workout that you'll find!

Meech Ymy

I have been a member for 6 months now at Sydfit I love it! There are so many things boxing has helped me with, including, alot of health problems. Very positive environment, patience, encouargment, comfort and extremely kid friendly! The trainers are amazing! I've never joined a gym or experienced hitting a punching bag before. ..... . .. I plan on being a member of Sydfit, for many years to come.

Brad Wilton

SydFIT is my favourite gym I've ever joined. Syd is terrific and the whole team is great. Wish I'd found them years ago!

Sarah m

Been doing boot camp with Melanie since March and I have lost 30lbs!! I can't wait for the next round to get started. Best experience and a great workout.

Maggie

Sydfits boxing classes are amazing, there's something new to learn everyday! As a kick boxer sydfit boxing has been helping with hand speed and movement. Very welcoming environment, great coaches and trainers!

Krizia Francisco

Incredible team at SydFIT. Such a welcoming environment, and knowledgeable coaches that’ll work hard alongside you. If you’re looking for an amazing change to your workout routine I highly recommend you give this place a shot!

Robert DeMiglio

SydFIT gym offers a great facility with top notch fitness and boxing trainers. The gym is "a one-stop shop" for fitness, training for beginners to elite athletes, as well as health and wellness including physiotherapists and osteopaths. I've had a great experience at this gym and will continue to maintain and increase my fitness and well being at SydFIT.

Johanna

Excellent environment for pros and novices! Kids classes are fantastic!

Colleen Kelley

Great people! So pleasant and easy to work with. They are the real deal!

Erik Box

Cannot thank Syd, Natasha and the rest of the coaches/staff for being so incredible. The gym is truly inviting to all and I cannot recommend it enough to first time people looking for a great workout, or experienced athletes, looking to fine-tune their skills.

John Barron

Syd Vanderpool simply put is one the best mentors and people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. He inspires and motivates me to continually be a better person through not just physical fitness but helping to remind me of how awesome I truly am. The gym is great and the people are truly inspiring. It is one of the best community of people I have ever met. 6 stars for sure. Syd you are the man and have made my life better just by being a part of it.

B R

The atmosphere and trainers at this facility is motivating and uplifting for people of all ages and athletic ability. Amazing staff recognizing and challenging you to gain the knowledge, strength and mindset to become a stronger, healthier person both in and outside of the ring. Love this place and highly recommend it to anyone looking to challenge themselves both mentally and physically or just looking to get a great sweat on with a bunch of fantastic, positive spirited people!!

Liam Hope-Ferraccioli

I think that joining sydFIT is one of the best dissensions I have ever made because it is a great way to get fit and lots of fun and meet lots of new great people who will always support and help you achieve your goals

Melissa Hunt

Feel like SydFit is my second home I'm here so often! Syd and the whole crew there make you feel like you're part of the family, you're not just a member. That's one of the many reasons why I love this place. I always had a struggle staying motivated to work out because I get bored and don't feel like going however since joining Boxing by Syd I have finally found something that I love to do and by doing the classes you never get bored! Must try if you're looking for something new and exciting! Within a week I guarantee you will be hooked.

Alicia Cunningham

I have been apart of Sydfit since the beginning of the facility opening. Sydfit always keeps its members coming back because it's more than just a workout, it's a community, family, a place you feel safe and not judged. I believe very strongly in the vision of Sydfit and I am proud to say I am a member there. I have been to many gyms and boxing facilities in the past and the only place I truly will return to and support is Sydfit! The trainers and coaches make you always feel supported and push you when you know you need it and even when you dont think you do. They are always there for you in both a physical sense and in a mental sense, it's not just a workout it's a way of life and belief in each other and most of all its family at Sydfit!

Hogg FMS Sales 5

Exceptional coaching and training! My son has been at SydFit for over a year and loves it. They make everyone feel welcome and part of their team.

Gar Rice

I have found my new second home. From the facility to the coaching staff finding boxing has been a life saver for me. I have been able to turn things around and refocus my energy in a positive supportive setting. Can't recommend this place enough.

Adam

I have opted more for the 1on1 sessions so far. I am really enjoying SydFit so far! Eryn has responded to my emails promptly and professionally. Syd himself seems like a friendly guy, and my Instructor Jeff is knowledgeable and personable. He really tries to understand what my goals are and help me work towards accomplishing them. The environment at the gym is professional but welcoming at the same time. Ps. I literally didn’t understand a word of what Cheryl said below in her review but I sense the people at the gym are caring.

Rebecca March

The sound of the heavybag rumble, the whir of skipping ropes, the sound of feet on the canvas, the smell of sweat from the hard work put into that moment when you walk into the ring and leave it all there has always made my soul happy. It's like Magic to me. I've been to a few boxing clubs over the last 11 years but I found myself on Sydfits doorstep in January. I haven't done anything physical for 3 years and there was a void in my life. I wasn't sure I was ready for it but even in my initial email Syd made sure that I showed up. I'm so glad I did. This is by far the best gym I've been to in my life. Going isn't a struggle because you are welcomed with open arms by everyone in this gym. Like family. Like a community of people no egos here. Just people that want to lift other people up. A place where greatness can be achieved by anyone who puts the effort in. I would recommend this gym to everyone I know. The trainers and people who are a part of this experience make it like no other. I'm proud to call this gym my new home.

gurshaminder kaur

I have been going to sydfit for more than month now. The coaches are very friendly, knowledgeable and help you to achieve your goals. I never thought boxing would be so much fun. Syd always gave me feedback and helped me to get ready for sparring. The workout sessions really make you sweat. Best boxing gym in the area.

Allison Bourke

I can't say enough about SydFit! I used to be a dancer growing up, but blew out my knees leading to reconstructive surgery more than a couple of times. I've tried going to the regular gym and even back to dance classes, but I couldn't find the right level and challenge of fitness. In August of 2015, I joined SydFit. I told Syd I would commit to two days a week. I am now there at least 4 mornings most weeks, sometimes five. I frequent the 6:30am class and love every minute of it. I've also started to do the intro to sparring for women class. I never thought I would enjoy doing excercise and getting fit again. At Sydfit, they also modify excercises for me due to my knee issues and they are so encouraging. Syd takes the time to connect with each member and makes them feel like a valued member of the gym family. Sydfit also actively does events to help out the community, such as the recent food drive for the Food Bank. This shows how compassionate of a business owner he is. This is reflective in the way he deals with the gym members too! I would recommend anyone come and give SydFit a try! You'll leave each day a better, stronger version of yourself and you won't regret a minute of the time you spent at SydFit getting there.

Kelly Mossman

The staff, atmosphere and team environment at SydFIT make it a great choice for anyone looking to get in a great workout and meet wonderful people. The trainers develop customized workout plans to help you reach your fitness goals and keep you accountable to your fitness regimen.

Chris Hope

I joined SydFit at the beginning of 2016. I had simple goals in mind, look better, feel better. The results have been fast coming and my goals have evolved as quickly as the gains I have made. From the minute I walked into Syd's gym, I could see where other gyms fall short. I had always felt the culture of other gyms was not for me, this was not the case at SydFit Health Centre. Not only are the staff exceptional, the members are just as supportive. It is an unreal feeling. So many people standing behind each other, helping each other reach their goals. The culture here is awe inspiring. Their mission and vision is met and exceeded. A culture of champions indeed!

Danijela Boronka

I’ve became a member of SydFIT gym over a month ago and I couldn’t be happier with the results I am seeing already. Syd introduced me to Natasha and having her as my coach, I am postive that I will make my fitness goals in no time. She is great in challenging me to surpass my limits each class. I would highly recommend SydFIT gym to anyone who is willing to work hard to improve their fitness level.

Alinanjoel Marksmcdonough

I have been boxing with Syd Vanderpool for about 8 months. I had been living a healthy life style for a long time with good eating and going to the gym 5 days a week for many years. Syd and I had met on a business end and he invited me to check out his boxing gym. After starting there I can say it has truly changed my LIFE in so many ways. I am 37 years old and thought I was Fit but I didn't truly know what Being completely Fit Meant. I am physically in the best shape of my life now ! I have not seen my ABS since I was 19 with a 6 pack Guess what? I have an 8 pack at 37. My life has always been filled with stress over the small stuff and after joining Syd's team I have Brought my business to double digit increases and taken my relationship and parenting to a level that I did not know existed. Syd My customers, my children,my partner and most importantly I would like to thank you for Making me a better person in every way. You truly make this world a better place. Thanks Coach ,Friend ,and Mentor RESPECT THE PROCESS

Rachel Dewilde

I love the energy of this facility. It doesn't matter what type of day I am having I am always uplifted after a training session. All of the staff are friendly and helpful. I couldn't ask for a better place to train!

My sister and I decided to start going to sydFIT together. Almost 3 weeks in. I feel like a million bucks. My energy level has increased so much and I just feel better mentally and physically. My sister and I motivate each other and encourage each other. If I don't feel like going, she is going to make sure I go, and vice/versa. I am loving this facility, all the staff and the incredible atmosphere. The constant switch up of exercises/weight training/boxing ect makes the time fly.(no sitting on a bike for 30 minutes) Bonus is the wellness Centre where I can get an awesome massage after a week of working hard! We see our selves being life long members at sydFIT.

Syd and the entire SyfFIT team are absolutely amazing. Everyone in the gym (including the members) are so welcoming and a blast to work out with! My boyfriend and I starting working out at SydFIT together two months ago and we love every single class we go to. I have already learned so much from the team and I leave every class/workout feeling energized and fantastic! I love that the morning classes have become part of our regular routine to start the day and they really help me keep going all day long! I would 100% recommend SyfFIT or anyone (or couples) who want to get a solid workout in with an amazing group of people!

Syd and the supporting trainers are amazing. I had recently moved to Kitchener and was looking for a boxing gym to join; from the initial meeting...to the classes I have participated in from beginning to intermediate have been nothing short of professional and encouraging. I have been to a few different kickboxing/boxing gyms but non have paired in comparison to Syds. I am looking forward to my fitness future at Syds gym regarding both my fitness goals and dominating in the ring. I encourage people no matter what your fitness levels are to come to Syd Fitness...they will make your goals a reality.

Syd Vanderpool and his awesome team of trainers have helped me achieve my goals of losing weight, gaining strength and learning to box. They are the most friendly, knowledgeable, caring, trustworthy, group of people I have ever met. If it wasn't for them I wouldn't be where I am today This gym is more than a gym, it's a wellness centre, it is a family, and a judgement free zone that caters to the young, old and young at heart. There are programs for children, (tiny and young champions), for adults, they have competitive sparring, non-competitive sparring, fitness boxing. There's also Muay Thai, Lil's Gym weight training, yoga, massage therapy, and more! There's something for everyone, regardless of the level of experience or exercise!! It is THE place to be, if you want to be the best you must learn from the best and Syd and his team are definitely the best around!!
