🫤 The owner is very friendly and a very positive atmosphere! New place is a little small to be honest. Had a lot more privacy in the old location People often mention Bill, owner, machines, friendly, school, equipment, gyms, workout,

    This place is literally the best. 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 🙌

    Great gym. Has a golds gym vibe. People come here to work, not to socialize. Everyone will help you with a spot. You can leave your vauluables anywhere, it will be right where you left it. There is a community shelf for workout powders and chalk, just replace what you use. No cash grab admin sign up fee. If you want to get in shape without the fashion show vibe with people who seriously workout then come to excel.

    After going here for nearly 9 months, I have to say it's my favourite. It's a family-like environment, the staff are super helpful, very clean, affordable, has the right equipment to get a solid workout in no matter the muscle group you're after. I love this gym and will continue to go for years to come. Let's go team Excel!!!!

    Joined this place lately, the manager of the gym is an amazing, welcoming and helpful person. Staff is pretty cool and gym has a lot of equipment. I'd like to say there's 5 seperate sections: 1. A lot of machines like Pec fly, rowing machines and assisted chin ups etc. (Right when you walk in through the entrance) 2. 🥊Boxing: It's got a mini ring(sort of), a punching bag, a speed bag, skip rope, battle ropes, gloves and boxes for step ups) 3. 🏋️ Weight Room + Barbell section: This room got fancy artwork, a lot of dumbbells, squat racks and a lot of exercise equipment. 4. 🏃‍♀️ Cardio space (Upstairs): It has treadmills, ellipticals and different types of bikes. 5. 💪 Warm up sort of place (Upstairs): It's got smaller dumbbells, kettlebells, Swiss Ball, medicine ball etc. P.S. I'm fairly new to fitness, pardon my references to equipment.

    Excellent private gym. Very clean and well kept. The Owner Bill is very friendly and down to earth. Highly recommend

  • 4/5 Bilal S. 3 months ago on Google • 24 reviews New
    Decent gym but over priced for the machines and space they have. Has a wide open window, un-tinted for runners to look on to the road while running and vice versa, decent place for lifting

    Recently joined, great gym to be at. Everything you need and nice old school feel.

    I love this gym! Old school weights make u feel like your in Pumping Iron and the owner Bill is great dude. Fair prices too. I highly recommend

  • 5/5 Randy H. 3 months ago on Google • 11 reviews New
    I joined this gym in January of 2022 and I definitely will be joining up again. I appreciate the no-nonsense type of atmosphere where you can just go and work out. The owner Billy is a super guy as well as the staff, I highly recommend this gym.

  • 5/5 Sean P. 9 months ago on Google • 5 reviews
    Hands down one of the best gyms in the entire GTA. Not only is it a very large and spacious gym with all the top of the line machines and equipment that members of all ages and fitness levels can possibly want and ask for but moreover it is an extremely positive environment to be in with the nicest/kindest people ever as both club members and also as trainers and other staff. The owner Bill is a super nice guy and very caring and supportive of all his members. Not something that anyone can expect at any of the big box gyms in the city. Most importantly, membership prices are very very reasonable and affordable.

  • 5/5 Michael T. 1 year ago on Google
    Great gym and an even better owner. The new location is clean, and lots of fresh air when the garage doors are open. It normally isn't too crowded so you don't have to wait long for the machines or anything.

  • 5/5 Daniel P. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing gym. Has everything you need! Has a nice old school feel which is something I love. Bill is like family. Knowing everyone’s names and just being a awesome gym owner. I love this place and can’t wait to get back to it!

    I’ve been going here for more than 8 years and it’s only dawned on me now to leave a review. Reviews are also something I never care to do, but Excel has more than earned it. I used to live in Pickering and go to this gym. Now I live in Toronto, and there’s a reason I make the drive to Excel from there to workout still. There is without question no other gym I’d rather go to than this one. Super friendly environment, the owner Bill is absolutely one of the kindest people I’ve met, and the rest of the staff are just as helpful and friendly. Not to mention all the members here share the same qualities. The prices are some of the lowest you’ll find besides Fit4Less, The gym is never busy, and there is plenty of superb quality weights and equipment so you never have to wait to use something. And just as the other reviews state, this has an old school “club” feel to it. It’s refreshing always coming from other gyms to Excel, as most gyms fail to encapsulates such a feeling. It’s safe to say that personally, for me, Bill has earned a member for life!

  • 5/5 May G. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent service. After seeing how rude goodlife employees were, i came down here and signed up. Much more welcoming and friendly environment.

    Ive been searching for a good local gym for quite sometime and found this gem. Absolutely incredible vibes and a great place to workout. The owner Bill is super nice and welcoming.

  • 5/5 Thaugshan S. 3 years ago on Google
    I recently joined this gym and I love it. It's cheap, convenient and feels private. It also has everything I'm looking for with a great variety of machines. Bill, the owner is very nice and is extremely welcoming and I'll be looking to make this my go to gym.

  • 3/5 Umran A. 3 years ago on Google
    Old school gym with a lot of machines from years ago. Staff are friendly and helpful. Very careful of the COVID rules and overall needs more cleaning but other than that it’s pretty good gym.

  • 5/5 Pritpal P. 3 years ago on Google
    I've been to a few gyms throughout the years and Excel Fitness is definitely one of the best. Bill and his staff are very welcoming and friendly, and the gym is clean. Lots of machines and free weights available. Truely one of the best bodybuilding gyms around.

  • 5/5 Angie P. 2 years ago on Google
    Very knowledgeable and helpful Trainors. Didn't think twice before signing up with a Trainor.

😠 Poor customer service. Like many others said, I agree that they are only nice to you until you take the membership. The staff do not tell everything prior to take a membership.

🫤 I'm not quite sure how to review this gym, there is nothing particularly wrong with their classes or their machines. In fact some of the instructors I've had were great. The facility is also relatively clean. As for appearance, it is a little dingy/stuffy since it sits in the basement of the mall...
