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.

Just signed up here for the second time. I decided to get some personal training sessions this time. I was lucky enough to have Mike the owner provide the training. He is very patient and encouraging. The members of this gym all seem very chill and welcoming to people of all ages and fitness levels. The cost of membership and the personal training sessions are more than fair.

UPDATED REVIEW!!! By far my favourite place to train/workout to this day! I now personal train out of The Fitness Center, the members are supportive and friendly to one another, Mike Jackson and my fellow trainers/employees go above and beyond to help and guide anyone that walks through those doors. Its an honour to have been a member and now an employee at The Fitness Center. 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.

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.

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.

Old school bodybuilding gym. This is the designated place to seriously pack on muscle and get to work. The environment allows you to get back the basics of weight training and allows your mind to focus on your specific fitness goal. Highly recommend if you’re willing to leave it all out on that gym floor.

As a World Champion title holder in bodybuilding as the UFE Women's Wellness division Champion for 2022. The Fitness Center is my go to gym. I love the atmosphere and old school vibe this place has. It is not like the other gyms with all the bells and whistles, it is a raw, old school gym with metal plates. Cardio equipment is also available on those days you just want to sweat out the day. Whether you are near or far in proximity to the gym (like me). It's worth the commute.

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

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.

When you call these people they don't care about you period, he plays likes he's so busy at 8:45am that he can't run his business properly and take a simple call to inform the general public on his prices. Because nothing is available online for you to help yourself. This man is completely egotistical and truly doesn't care about who comes or is interested in attending this gym....SMH

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.

First time working out and glad I found a trainer like Mike!

Mike Jackson is an awesome trainer. I’ve been training with him since August 2021. Very knowledge.

Very welcoming atmosphere. Been coming here for awhile, and have felt at home from the start. Good mix of fitness levels among the members I’ve encountered, and everyone has been willing to lend a hand if needed. The owner is amazing!

Very rude personnel. Owner treats you like a dog. The worst experience in my life. Don't go.

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!

Great gym!

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.

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

Clean, lots of equipment, open 24 hrs, great price

I have been going to the fitness center for over 12 years and it is my favourite spot by far lots of equipment family oriented and the owner Mike is truly amazing always there to help and keep you motivated. If you aren't a member yet what are you waiting for you will not be disappointed

It is a good environment to train, I've been coming to this gym for several years.The owner Mike Jackson is very helpful and knowledgeable.

Coach Mike Jackson is the best!! Oh, and the gym is pretty sweet too :)

Great gym place, old school you can smell the iron!...

Family-style gym. No one steals your stuff. Old school vibe with great members. Tons of equipment that are made from metal, not plastic. You can get your workout done and no one with bug you.

I must say this is the best spot for you to go work on your body and same time get the most VIP SERVICE BY BROTHER MIKE.. big ups to KEN KEN. Got my full support and Smarttech sponsor

Love this place.

I have been going to the gym for a little over 6 months now and all I can say is it’s one big happy family, the owner Mike is always there to help out when needed. In my opinion, this gym is worth every penny because it’s never crowded like your typical big named gyms and has more versatile equipment that you won’t find at these newer gyms.

More than a gym The fitness center is more than a gym; I consider it a community of great people working towards better health. I really appreciate the support of great trainers like Mike and Kenni.

Very nice gym and positive environment, when you need help with form people usually tell you what to do right. The energy in the gym gets put into your training because of the people there. They help you with training by motivating you and giving you advice.

Mike's gym is the spot to find and become a gym legend. No commercialized nonsense like planet fitness and other gyms. This is the place for real gains.

This gym Is better than planet fitness

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

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.

Old school body building gym with a true workout atmosphere, this ain't a good life, we lift real iron plates here. Mike, will tell it like it is cause that's who he is. He's also a got a lifetime of training knowledge and has created multiple medal placing NATURAL fitness competitors. This gyms a hidden gem, even at its peak times you can get on your machine, or swap out with someone. Whether we intend to or not, we all end up apart of this gym family.

Never had a better workout anywhere else in the world The Fitness Center is a classic gym, where the timeless spirit of dedicated athletes is all around you. Relive the Golden Days of training and join the community that calls this gym home.

I love the chilled-out/non-competitive atmosphere of this great gym. The owner, Mike, is knowledgeable and helpful, and I always feel welcomed. That's why I've been going for over 25 years and will never change gyms.

Awesome gym. It has a positive vibe and all the necessary equipment for those that are serious about lifting. Deadlifts are allowed which is great! The owner is very knowledgeable and helpful towards the members. I’ve had an amazing time training here personally and have made tremendous strength gains while training here. Overall this is a great place to train. Highly recommend.

Awesome gym. It has a positive vibe and all the necessary equipments. I won my first competition at this gym so that says it all. which is great! The owner is very knowledgeable and helpful towards the members. I’ve had an amazing time …..

Best gym in the GTA hands down. No rubber. Full iron gym. Mike and the staff are all excellent. Come here if you are a seasoned pro or a newcomer to the gym!
