    I love this gym! Its always clean and if theres any issues the staff is always happy to help. I have never seen any of the equipment broken or out of order. Everyone super friendly and its always a positive environment. I trained with Baku he is very knowledgable and disciplined with his approach in tackling your desired results, not only will he aid you with your physical goals but also ensures that reach your dietary needs to support your end goals. I really appreciate my time training with Baku, the skills and understanding of how to push my body has helped me grow as an athlete and a person.

    Personal Trainer: Baku I've been having an amazing time working out at Markham Gym. Moving into a new area is scary when trying to find a gym to commit to, but I searched up the gym closest to my new place and the reviews kept raving about Baku and how awesome of a trainer he is. After a fit test and meeting him, I knew I was in the right hands. Thus far, I've dedicated a month to Personal Training and am down 6lbs and many inches. I feel healthier, have more energy, and I'm still eating foods I enjoy. I can't recommend this gym enough. It really gives you a cozy, closed-knit feeling and everyone is super nice and friendly. 100% recommend.

    I’ve had the pleasure of being trained by Baku for the last 3 months. He has surpassed my expectations with his in-depth knowledge of bio mechanics and anatomy while providing such an in depth, comprehensive exercise program that was completely tailored to my goals and interests ! I was seeing results faster than I ever had and felt increasingly confident in my abilities having someone so in tuned to my process by my side. He keeps you to your word and holds you accountable, and doesn’t falter! His involvement with all other aspects of your life - sleep, nutrition, mental health etc truly shows you how dedicated he is to your well being. His love of overall fitness really shows & If I could give 10 stars I would !! Thanks for everything, can’t wait to keep smashing my goals !

    Baku and the rest of the squad here are awesome. The equipment is brand new and well kept. This is a gym you feel fresh working out in because it's just that nice. To future clients, you don't want to skip over this place. Come to The Gym and get your work in 😤😤.

    This review for my experience training with Jacky Kwan couple of years ago; regrettably found the experience less than satisfactory. My personal trainer seemed to lack the experience I was hoping for. Sadly, instead of improvements, my pre-existing injuries were exacerbated during our sessions. Moreover, the gym equipment were very limited and some were not working, and I found the ventilation subpar, making workouts uncomfortable. I left behind a worth of $500 sessions and didn’t get any refund for!! I'd advise potential members to tread cautiously and ensure they're getting the service they paid for!!

    Personal trainer: Frankie I've just wrapped up three months of weight-training with him, and I cannot recommend him enough! As a complete beginner, I was a little intimidated at first to go to gym, but his clear and concise instructions made me feel at ease from day one. He really knows how to break down each exercise so that you're using the right muscles and making the most of every rep. Not only did he guide me through each session, but he also went above and beyond by helping me plan a workout schedule for the future. With his guidance, I was able to lose an impressive 15kg! 🎉 If you're considering starting your fitness journey, this is the trainer you've been searching for. 💪👊

    This review is for personal training by Frankie. He is an excellent trainer for beginners at the gym. He is patient and articulate, and very knowledgable about strength training. I trained with him for a little over 9 weeks, and in that time, he has taught me a lot about good form and mobility, and I'm now confident going to the gym on my own. He also gives great nutrition advice and goes above and beyond to help you create a workout plan. Will definitely go back and ask him for further training when I need it!!

    I have been training with Baku for around a year now and have learned a tremendous amount about training techniques and have seen substantial progress. He is very patient and always goes the extra mile to invest himself into you as an individual, which not a lot of trainers are willing to do. Baku is also very friendly and always ensure any questions and concerns are answered and resolved. I strongly recommend him as a coach!

    Coach Baku is a phenomenal trainer, the knowlegde, wisdom and tact in his craft is incredible. As an aspiring physiotherapist and trainer myself i am always in awe and learning new tips and tricks on what i need to do to get better. He takes his craft seriously and has an answer to every question. He also has the ability to do what we all go in to master, pistol squats, full ROM mobility, knowledge and results. The training is a mentorship in my eyes and it'll take YEARS to get good at training at his level. If you need a professional efficient trainer who is a master at what he does, find Baku! Im positive you will be impressed.

    The Markham Gym is where I started to build up a regular work out routine. It is a gym that more down to earth. Strong connections between coaches and clients. All equipments you need are there, used by people efficiently. Every minute there is not a waste, guiding by my trainer, Baku, I get stronger and healthier.

    My friend and I recently completed over 40 sessions of partner training with Konson (Taurus, millennial) and I don’t think I could have spent my money in a better way. I had never done any weightlifting before and knew very little about working out. I have since learned much about form and feel much safer and more confident at the gym. Konson paid much attention to our goals and knew just how to push us to achieve them. He is straightforward and will not waste your time. His compliments mean a lot and his friendly attitude always made for a very enjoyable training session. Working out with Konson has helped me develop physical presence as well as nurture my self-confidence. He is very chill and even more generous. The Markham Gym was recommended to me by a friend who warned me that I might enjoy the place so much that I won’t want to leave once my sessions are completed. I remember laughing at her then but now the joke is on me!

    Trained by: Conson Chan After doing a bunch of research and reading, I finally made an invested decision in paying for a personal trainer from the Markham gym, and I will say, I wasn’t disappointed at all. Everybody seems very knowledgeable in ways that other trainers from other gyms haven’t shown or proven. I should also note that because it is a small private gym, you see and get to know a couple of really friendly people. 4 months in, nothing less than impressed that I could make such progress that I never thought I could. All thanks to the Markham gym

    This gym has a great, laid back setting with trainers who really care about their clients and are passionate about training/working out. They are thorough and provide a great experience when you are ready to make a change in your lifestyle.

  • 5/5 RJ K. 6 months ago on Google • 25 reviews
    I have been doing personal training with Baku for almost one year and he has very knowledgeable and awesome to work with. I have seen so much improvement in my health, back pain/sciatic nerve issues, overall strength and energy level after training with Baku. He is well experienced and educated in his field. Baku also trains students who wants to be personal trainers and very passionate about his field. In the past I have trained with others but never got the results as I am getting with Baku. I will highly recommend Baku and Markham Gym for anyone looking great place to train, workout and improve their overall health.

    I've been doing personal training with Leo for a couple of months now and have decided to continue with more sessions. Leo is very knowledgeable and helps me work on proper form, and it's clear that he cares about his clients and is passionate about training. The environment is comfortable and laidback, and my experience with this gym and Leo has been great. It's an excellent place to go and improve your lifestyle and train, even for a beginner like me. With Leo's help, the results of my training sessions have been beyond my expectations. I would recommend this gym for anybody who wants to find somewhere to start.

  • 5/5 M C. 5 months ago on Google • 3 reviews
    I went here for 3 months of personal training and now use it as my main gym. I’ve been working out for a couple years, but I started plateauing and experiencing injuries. I started training with Frankie and he was able to expertly point out the how and why I was running into my issues. We worked on correcting form, diet and my weak points. Since then my progress has been improving steadily and I haven’t been injured since. Some of the google maps photos are outdated and the current location is the smaller one you see in the maps entry. But despite the size, there is almost always free equipment if you’re looking to do compounds. Never going back to a commercial gym after this, they’re much too crowded compared to this place.

  • 5/5 Tamika D. 1 year ago on Google
    I went to thus gym for almost a year. My trainer's name was Leo. He was amazing! I loved every session, he tailored every workout to my specific needs, and every old injury I had that. The gym is very clean and well organized. The women's change room was kept very clean. I also love that the Physiotherapist Jon was in the building as well, so Jon and Leo were able to personalize and create workouts that would best suit my needs. It's a great place, I highly recommend

    Personal Trainer: Baku Start date: Aug.1.22 What an amazing experience thus far! I looked into joining a gym after moving to the Markham area and basically narrowed it down to Goodlife and The Markham Gym. After looking at the reviews, I kept seeing so many good recommendations for Baku. Decided he was gonna be the one to train me and booked my fit test with him. I was straight up with my lack of endurance, non-existent fitness level, and that I was plus size so to know what he was getting himself into. He wasn't in the slightest bit judgemental and made me feel welcomed and comfortable with the idea of getting back in shape. He made a whole fitness plan and got me on the perfect schedule that fits my entrepreneur lifestyle. Needless to say, I'm down 6lbs in 3 weeks, lost a bit of inches all around, and feeling far stronger than I have in a LONG TIME! What I really enjoy is the close-knit atmosphere and feeling like you're right at home when you enter the gym. I can't recommend this gym enough! It really makes working out and getting back in shape feel FUN compared to a burden. 10/10 RECOMMEND!

  • 5/5 Jennifer W. 2 years ago on Google
    Pleasure to work with Baku! So grateful to have found a trainer that is super passionate and dedicated to their job to help you achieve your goals. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, committed and attentive trainer, definitely check them out. They can help you achieve your goals within just a few weeks, and I promise, you'll walk out of the gym feeling super refreshed after every workout!

  • 5/5 Rochelle K. 1 year ago on Google
    I highly recommend Leo if you are looking for a personal trainer. He’s a great coach who will take the time to teach you proper form and create the right workout plan for the results you want. I had a great experience training with him and would recommend him to anyone who wants to start their fitness journey!

  • 5/5 Marina A. 2 years ago on Google
    I highly recommend training with Baku. He has been a fantastic coach. He's helped me improve my relationship with food and has helped me reach great levels of fitness that I could not have achieved without his guidance. He's beyond knowledgeable, extremely motivational, patient and he truly is a kind soul - he cares deeply about your success. He's definitely helped me become the best version of myself!

  • 5/5 ORCMASTERSLAM 2 years ago on Google
    The best gym/training experience HANDS DOWN!!! I’ve been struggling with my weight for years and 5 months of working with Baku has been a game changer. I’m a competitive dancer and he made a custom workout just to improve my skills and to properly recover from past injuries. I recommend this to anyone that has specific goals, recovering from an injury, or trying to lose a few pounds.

  • 5/5 Christopher L. 2 years ago on Google
    Really great experience so far training with Baku at this gym. The place is very clean and has lots of equipment without being crowded. Definitely a great place with an open atmosphere to start/continue with your fitness journey!

  • 5/5 Gavin H. 1 year ago on Google
    Training at The Markham Gym has been a really good experience as the personal trainers there were very helpful when it came to my fitness and fat loss goals. With the equipment and different attachments that they have you can do various exercises that you can't do at most gyms. With the good vibes the gym gives and how it is near me/close to where I live, it definitely makes me want to keep coming back.

  • 5/5 Kathy W. 1 year ago on Google
    Baku is the best trainer I have worked with not only on a professional level, but personality wise as well. I have been going workout for a year, not only is he good at what he does, but he is a cool guy! Very friendly & cares about my health. I can't recommend Baku his professionalism enough, he always gives great results!

  • 5/5 Emiljano D. 3 years ago on Google
    This gym is awesome! Has everything you need including bumper weights for Olympic lifting. Lots of sport specific equipment. A great range of dumbbell weights for beginners and more advanced lifters. Very clean gym and members puts their weights away on their designated rack so you know exactly where to find them. I don’t get personal training but it’s refreshing to see knowledgeable trainers that are actually engaged with their clients. Great gym, people and atmosphere! Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Stefany L. 3 years ago on Google
    Great trainers with great energy. They will work with you based off of your goals, fitness background, and tailor your program based off of your specific needs. They're always looking out for you and keeping you accountable with nutrition as well. Stephen was great to work with over the last 12 weeks. In the beginning of the strength block, I was fresh out of working out in my garage for 6 months with light weights. My goal was to increase my deadlift and squat PR. In the beginning I was barely hitting 135lb and I felt like I could never go beyond that. At the end of it I could confidently hit about 170lb. Thanks Stephen for keeping me accountable, consistent, adjusting my form, filling in gaps of fitness knowledge, accommodating for my schedule weekly, and making me feel confident in lifting heavy!

  • 5/5 OntonSNC 2 years ago on Google
    Hey wats good everyone! I’m a world class competitive dancer specializing in breaking (breakdancing) currently pursuing the olympics for team Canada. I was blessed to meet and train with Baku through a mutual friend. Ive never really invested in a personal trainer and I thought I would be able to do everything myself. But I must say that ever since I started training with Baku Ive levelled up like crazy. From mobility, mind body connection, strength, nutrition, explosive, body awareness, knowledge, etc. Baku really analyzes everything you need and he definitely knows his stuff. If I could give him 10 stars on this I would lol. 🔥🔥🔥 - Onton (IG: @OntonSNC)

    The Markham Gym is my happy place! I love it here. It’s always clean, everyone is friendly, and they play good music. I’m training with Baku and he’s amazing! I can’t say enough great things about this guy. He genuinely cares about his clients and has a passion for fitness.

    Baku is the best trainer I have ever met. He saved my dance life. I had been in the condition with many injuries past few years. I thought I will never be able to have dance performances without pain until I met Baku. After I started training with him. The pain went away and my dance performance level jumped up like crazy. He studied my dance field and analyzed what we needed. We are very lucky to have him. Also the gym is very clean all the time and equipments are well organized. High searing makes the gym very open and lots of brightness! The selected musics are helping me for those extra push :) I would highly recommend to join their awesome community and speed up your progress to reach the goal :) !!

    Great facility with one-to-one training! Coach Baku was very knowledgeable both about fitness/training and how to approach my previous injuries. I learned a lot about the foundational concepts of weight lifting with him and he has greatly improved my training regiment! I am really happy with my experience with Baku and at The Markham Gym.
