Reviews of The Fitness Center (Gym)

Alex Martins

This gym is by far the best gym. The staff can't get any friendlier than this and great atmosphere to make you work hard towards your goal. If you ever need some help you can always turn to the staff there. Overall Highly recommended.

The fitness center is an awesome well run facility. The owner Mike Jackson is very experienced, in fact one the most experience trainers I know. Mike clients do so well many opt to compete in fitness shows. I see someone here mentioning that his equipment is old. I'll tell you what, walk into the fitness center one day and checkout the awards and accomplishments Mike clients have achieved........And keep achieving! You won't see that at any Wynn or Goodlife. The fitness Center is for anybody wanting an awesome fitness experience with one of the top trainers in Ontario. Keep up the outstanding job Mike.

This gum has become my home. Great energy and great people. People train hard here and I can not see myself working out anywhere else.

I have been a member of fitness center for 7 months and I totally recommend this gym for many reasons. It is a friendly environment, the staff are great and the people that workout at this gym are nonjudgmental. I feel comfortable working out in front of others. My Personal Trainer, Michael Jackson, is the best trainer I have ever had. He is a experienced, knowledgable and he will push you to your limit. He is amazing. I can’t believe my eyes when I look myself in the mirror. I never thought in a million years I could look so good. Thank you Mike. The gym is clean inside out, it is never overcrowded and the equipment is pretty good. Convenient location with lots of parking spots. I have tried large, spacious gym with lots of equipment but I never felt comfortable or motivate to go workout. This gym for me is perfect. It is pretty much my second home, where I get to exercise and meet friendly people.

Trained here for several years now, nothing fancy just your old school weight lifting center. If you are expecting high end anything or exceptional customer service this may not be the place for you. Overall it's a good gym if you want to keep to yourself and work-out your body and not your jaw bone!

Kathleen George

Mike is amazing. I have seriously bad knees and just had scoped on left knee in May 2019. Mike has been a blessing. He has shown me how to work the muscles around the knee safely so I can become much more stronger and more mobile. Now i workout and i can still walk around afterward. My knees aren't sticking and locking like before. Now I can make it in the next day to workout still. Thank you Mr Mike

Words cannot describe how amazing this gym is! I went to several gyms and nothing is like this gym at the fitness center! I been here a year and a half and I’m getting the results I wanted. I love this gym !!!

Tina Tee

My favorite gym and excellent people

Chiara B.

Great venue, lots of equipment and space, lots of natural light too, great for all types of gym goers, the staff is very friendly and helpful and the amount of equipment available has allowed me to train without ever having to wait.

I have been to many dieticians and gym facilities and have gotten the most results by far, here at The Fitness Center!! I have lost over 25lbs by following the nutrition and training advice by the owner Mike Jackson. He is very knowledgeable and trains you according to your strengths and weaknesses, not some franchise cookie cutter training regime.I have been there for a few months now and call this gym my home away from home, my gym family. If you want frills, and bells and whistles on your equipment, and tvs on your cardio machines, then this is not the place for you. But last time i checked, you dont burn more calories by watching tv. I never have to wait for machines which gets me in and out of the gym in no time. The equipment is tried and true, no nonsense training- strictly results. As for the staff being rude, one must have done something pretty bad to be treated poorly. I have NEVER had a negative experience interacting with staff whatsoever. The price is right, and i get what i want from this gym=results! As for the individual who goes to the gym just for a treadmill, and has the audacity to complain about the facilities,FYI you can spend the same amount as you paid for the membership and BUY yourself a treadmill and use it at HOME. Great place. Thankful I found it!

Insain Fitness

Idk what ppl are talking about with staff and the owner being rude, Mike works with everyone and makes them champions they have nothing but a great experience with him ! Forget the haters on here making up stories. Anyways, this is the best gym I have been to in the area by far. The ppl are friendly and the owner has an amazing personality! I am proud to call everyone at this gym family. The gym itself is amazing also. Great equipment, has everything you need and more! Newly renovated, gym is very clean, has a pro shop and great prices on memberships! Amazing experience here, I wouldn't go to any other gym after training here. Women friendly also. Give it a try and join the team, home of true champions!!!???? for any of your fitness goals come see Mike

Maria Estrela

Smells really bad like mold and the place is very run down ! Definitely needs a to be renovated.

Truelife Fitness

If you`ve been struggling to make a healthy lifestyle change or having trouble losing weight,toning up or building muscle. The Fitness Centre is the place to be. It`s not your typical Goodlife, La fitness or worlds gym but it`s a results based gym. It`s not to often you can go to a gym and see that a high percentage of its members are in shape. However you`ll notice this at the Fitness Centre.

Zoki Radulovic

This place is great ...I've been going on and off for about a year . .the staff is great the people are nice and the gym it self is awesome ...if I had 4 thumbs I'd give it ????????????????

CHEEKY MINKS (Cheekyminkslingerie)

The owner of this center is amazing. Very helpful. Takes time for each customer.

Camille-Mary Sharp

Super affordable. People are friendly and focused on themselves. No pressure, no drama. The equipment is old but if you know what you're doing, shouldnt be an issue, plus it matches the super low price! Great option for a low income gym goer like me

adi sood

Great gym. Super friendly staff.

Stephanie Garzon

Mike is the best person I know. His dedication to his work reflects when you walk inside this gym, it's not an ordinary place just to work out; it's like a second home. Everyone knows each other, hours are flexible, there is help all around, & of course you make new friendships. Washrooms are clean, there is a variety of equipment, & the place is spacious.

Jarid Medina

This gym does not even deserve a star! The machines are old, the place is far from clean or nice, people do not wipe the equipment after they use it, the locker rooms are disgusting and worst of all the customer service is HORRIBLE - worst I have ever experienced in my life. I signed up because of the low prices, close to my house and because I only use the treadmill, which suited my needs. However, no matter if they gym is fancy/exclusive or modest, the customer needs to be treated with respect and courtesy, as any person deserves it. The owner, Mike Jackson, yelled, threatened and intimidated me and used very aggressive words and body language (pointing his index finger, close to my face). I could only tell him to calm down twice because he would not let me talk and at one point I had to ask him to stop spitting in my face while talking! (yes he was that close!). He went as far as to say "You don't want to mess with me, you don't know what I'm capable of". It was humiliating and way out of line, a bully who only relies on fear and intimidation - unfortunately. I honestly don't know what he is taking, steroids maybe, no idea, but I found it awfully disrespectful. Although I agree with the previous comment about not-women friendly at all, this just indicates that this person is just plain aggressive and a bully. Point of the story is, I do not recommend this gym to anyone. I regret going to him and giving him access to my personal information. I believe if you sign up for a service and provide your details there is a level of trust and decency the business owner should maintain and not intimidate or threaten you. However, that was not the case. I will look for a decent gym with respectful customer service, this gym is not worth the price!

It's an old school gym with the best vibe and staff ever! There's always machines available and it's clean which is really important.

This gym Is better than planet fitness

Steve R.

I've been going to The Fitness Center for a few years now. The staff are always welcoming and courteous. I also booked personal training last year with Mike the owner because of a vacation I was going on. He mostly trains bodybuilding competitors so I was a little apprehensive at first, but I'm glad I went through with it because I was more than happy with the results. He's a genius at what he does and it was worth every penny spent. Overall, the gym has a very positive vibe with outgoing and friendly members. I'd definitely recommend this place to my family and friends.

myron gains

i go at night the gym is dirty never gets cleaned the leg press has been broken for over a month the dumbbells are all loose and they false advertise the hours of the gym they do not close at 11 they now close at 10 which is a joke the only good thing about the gym is its almost always empty and the owner mike is a very nice guy unfortunately the night staff member does not clean and i end up with rashes on my arm avoid this gym

Julie Holm

I have been a member for 4 months and I really enjoy going to this gym. I have been fortunate enough to train with Mike, he is tough but he's extremely knowledgeable, honest and fair. The facility is not a like a goodlife or lifetime and neither are the membership or training fees. It feels like family type environment. The other members and staff are super friendly and helpful. This place was recommended to me and i would recommend it as well.

The owner is a dick, another gym member told me she was screamed and assaulted by Mike. The place was much better with previous owners. The toilets are dirty and so is the locker room. Never going back there.

Bo Jackson

The owner Mike, is very knowledgeable and is a great guy. The gym has alot of the old school equipment that you just can't find in other gyms.

My HAPPY place !! I’ve been to gyms all across the globe but none are as welcoming and supportive as The Fitness Center !! Anyone can open a fancy gym and throw glitz and glamour in your face to join their gym , but NONE (that I know of) are dedicated to the people who work out there as The Fitness Center - owned by Mike Jackson . Not only does Mike own the gym , he’s a personal trainer as well . He cares about the people that work out at his gym and gives out pointers when he can . The equipments at this gym , some I’ve NEVER seen before ! It targets the right body part - straight to the point !! We have a great ratio of men and women that train here at all hours . I enjoy the vibe that I get when I enter this gym . People are really focussed and determined to meet their goals and their energy rubs off on others that are among them . People travel from Ajax , Vaughan , Markham , Mississauga , you name it , JUST to come to our gym because they know what they get here - RESULTS !!

luciana frias

I love this place , people are very very friendly and my instructor is the best.

Amazing Gym. Amazing people. One of a KIND

Frank DiTomaso

equipment is a bit outdated, showers need some work. But if you're looking to just work out and go home it's ok.

Sam Tomarchio

Great gym, super friendly and fun atmosphere. Recent updates look great. Mike is super knowledgeable about training and I see his clients getting great results!

Nella Muzzatti

I have been working out at The Fitness Center for many years. It is a perfect gym for me. I feel welcomed because everyone is friendly. Smiles and jokes among workout buddies are common. Everyone is there to get fit and be supportive. Mike Jackson is an amazing guy and trainer. There is no question that he cannot answer. His gym is as bright and energetic as he is. I recommend this gym to anyone who wants to workout in a judge-free environment.

Kenesha Stinchcombe

I've been going to the fitness center for about 2.5 years. And I've been training under Mike Jackson's guidance for a year. The results I've gotten are mind blowing. Who knew with the expertise of an experienced knowledge person the results you could get in a short time period. The gym is organized and clean. It's an old school bodybuilding gym (gyms that are hard to find in this day and age) but caters to all fitness levels and goals. The weights are always reracked and you never have to look or wait for gym equipment. The atmosphere is great, we are all just one big family there. The staff are very professional and helpful. I'm so motivated when I'm at tfc, it's actually hard to keep me away from this place. Ive never had a bad experience. It's in a great location, right at keele and Lawrence, easy access via ttc and there is also free parking.

Pat Legot

Amazing atmosphere for some serious training to lose the Covid 30!

Rahul Desai

1 year and counting! Travelling all the way from east end - It has changed me for the better and for good. I owe it to Mike - the owner and his gym...the fitness centre. I have been to many other gyms in the past but can say for sure...Mike the owner/trainer is the real deal - Been training with Mike for a year now and wouldn't go to any other gym...trained at lifetime, goodlife and all the other fancy gyms but the fitness centre has everything i need... you never have to wait for a machine...the people who train there are friendly and welcoming... Mike is someone who you can trust to see results and who tells you how it is. I am a member for life, thanks mike

amanda paolini

This gym is a great place to be if you want to be apart of a fitness family and a motivating environment. Everyone is extremely kind and is always looking to help one another. There is a wide variety of equipment for any type of exercise you are doing and very spacious. The gym also provides tanning, waxing, and additional fitness classes which are extremely fun to take! Overall I have never had a bad experience at the fitness center and would highly recommend this gym to anyone!

The equipment here reminds me of the equipment they had in prison. I love it!

Sarah McCarney

I started going to The Fitness Centre a year and a half ago and immediately I was greeted by friendly faces. Mike, the owner of the gym is very knowledgeable and thorough, and has helped me get in the best shape of my life! The members of the gym are friendly and very encouraging, and you feel like part of the family when you walk in. You never have to wait for equipment like big box gyms and weights/quipment is always where it should be. I highly encourage you to check out the gym! You won't be disappointed.

Johnny Z

Amazing Gym. Staff are very knowledgeable. The owner Mike Jackson is great. I have been training with Mike for a year now and have seen amazing results. I would recommend this gym to anyone looking to get in shape or take the physique to a new level.

The Fitness centre is an amazing place and Im proud to call it my second home. Its a peaceful, calm atmosphere and the gym is nearly almost empty thus making it a great place to get a workout. The staff are all nice and never fail to say hello. My experiences here have been irreplaceable. Ive learned so much not only about myself but about the ins and out of how to work my body to its limits pushing myself day in and day out and I have met many people that I now call my friends. The owner and my trainer Mike Jackson has proved countless times that he is a never ending pool of knowledge when it comes to working out and dieting. Training under him has been a beneficial and life changing experience for me and I would recommend this gym to anyone who is looking for a great place to workout.

M Spanky

Great atmosphere, always comfortable place to work out doesn't matter what shape your in! Mike always there to answer questions and give you tips. Old school gym but kept pretty clean. Good bang for the buck.
