I had personal training with Mike C for 4 months. He taught me so much and pushed me beyond my limits with the workout plans he created. The gym atmosphere is a close knit community, where everyone is always encouraging and proud of every small or big accomplishment you make. Absolutely love this gym and the good vibes it has. Mike is a fantastic owner with such good energy and he ensures that is brought into his gym. A place I would recommend for everyone especially beginners who are afraid of the gym. This place will welcome you with open arms with no judgment.

If you're serious about training, this place has everything you need. Great workout atmosphere, members are friendly & like-minded, and the owner is an awesome guy. Best alternative to the big chain gyms. Note: equipment has been added since pics were taken, making it that much better!

Owner is not trust worthy, cheated on his wife and steals people's money. Don't go to this gym. Not 'steel Paradise' whatsoever. When a gym owner is not present, how is one supposed to pay for their guest ? What Mike chose to do was be unprofessional with me and didn't even pull me aside. In front of many members he disrespected and embarrassed me for no good reason. I hope you feel good about yourself Mike. I know of plenty of ex members who were charged on MULTIPLE occasions after leaving and asking multiple times to stop getting charged. I personally got a refund from Mike because I would NEVER leave my credit card information with this untrusting owner. **He also acts like I stole from him which all I ever did was be a respectful member to this gym and keep to myself. Never again**

I started exercising at SHED a few months ago. The owner, Mike, has been fantastic. The staff are kind and motivating. The trainers who work here are fantastic, adaptable, and hard working. SHED is laid back but big on getting to business. The clientele is also very friendly. In regards to equipment, there's a great variety ranging from free weights to weight machines to bands and balls for ground work. I recommend this facility highly.

I recently moved to Durham region, and was looking for a gym with a more private setting . I called Mike the owner , and he was nothing but professional and welcoming. I took a tour of The gym and it had everything I needed . Especially when I was trying to recover from an Acl tear. The other members are absolutely supportive of each other goals . We all strive to help one another. When you come to shed fitness you will be greeted with positivity. My son and I work out together , and he’s a teenager that always wants to hang with his friends but now since I’ve taken him to shed, he’s always so excited to come and work out there , great bonding experience. Mike takes care of us. The Gym is clean The hours are amazing The music is bumping The atmosphere is welcoming. I’m so proud to call this home for many years to come, for myself and my family.

Absolute best gym I’ve ever been too! I always used to struggle staying consistent in the gym. After being recommended to SHED, the encouraging atmosphere and great people helped me to stay motivated and committed to my fitness goals. A big thanks to the owner, Mike and the SHED community!

My son was ridiculed at school for his physical strength and i could see it impacting his confidence. I needed a place for my 10yr old son to experience the sanctuary of a gym and where we could bond on a different level and also a place where he could build foundations for muscle development. Enter Mike and SHED fitness. This place transformed my son, boosted his confidence which was visible in his relationships, his school life, etc. He actually enjoyed going to the gym, focusing on his health and more importantly pushed me to go the gym and spend some quality workouts with him. Thanks Shed. I'm forever grateful to Mike and this place.

Been at Shed for just over a month now - and everything I've experienced has been first class. Gym: Clean and has all the equipment you need. Even during peak evening hours - you don't have to wait for a bench or machine. It's not as spacious as a big box gym - but it doesn't need to be. Owner has optimized the space he does have. Owner: Mike has been nothing but professional and friendly with me. IMO he genuinely cares about his members. Always willing to help. Vibe: Always good energy when I go. Members are friendly and courteous to one another. Great music too. Overall - a place you look forward to going. If you're looking to join - best thing to do would be to come by and see if Mike's there. If not - leave your name/number at the front desk on a sticky note and write that you're inquiring about a membership. Gym isn't staffed - so if you miss him - he'll at least see the note the next time he's in and contact you fairly quick.

this gym is the opposite of a cookie cutter corporate facility, it has a soul and personality. the old school vibe is impossible to find anymore, its hard core and totally comfortable at the same time. its the brain child of a life long fitness professional with charm and practicality (Mike) and his space is a perfect reflection of his amazingly positive outlook and friendly way. highly recommend if you want more than a place to work out and be part of a community with the best atmosphere

Excellent place. All kept clean and maintained machines

I have been a member at SHED for three years. The atmosphere, the people are on point. The owner is genuinely interested in helping all his clients. I feel like I’m home when I train at SHED. If there are any bad reviews, I’d question it. I would recommend SHED to anyone who is serious about changing their life. The gym is known to bring the beast out of you. 👊🏼

Amazing facility and very friendly owner who’s always looking out for the best for the gym members. Coach Garri has been life changing Highly recommend this to gym. If your looking for a life changing experience hit them up

This facility is one of the best equipped gym I have ever been to, the space is very well organized and clean! The atmosphere is great and very friendly! I totally would recommend this gym to anyone who is serious about there fitness goals !

Hands down the best gym to workout at in Durham. I've been a member for 18 months and the vibe at Shed is unlike any other spot I've been to - feels like your own private gym with nice high end equipment. Love the Rogue Bars and Bench! Owner and members are super friendly and knowledgable, highly recommend!

I love working out at Shed. Mike is so nice to me and all the members there. You can always get a really solid workout in. They have great equipment, great music and a great atmosphere. Been going here for 2 years now and I love it. Super affordable rates also

Amazing gym. Great owner. Very professional and family atmosphere. Everyone pushes each other and motivates each other to do better. Whether you need a spot or someone to talk to when you’re having a rough day - SHED is your spot. Love the shed family for everything they’ve helped me through. Forever grateful 🙌

Love this gym, moved here from my commercial gym and would never go back! Great equipment and very friendly staff!

Very clean, spacious and well equipped. This is a no-nonsense facility. Trainers will train you hard and are committed to seeing you through your goals and lifestyle changes. They also have a fantastic meal program. Highly recommend!!!

Shed Fitness is my #1 fitness facility in Durham Region. Mike has been nothing short of amazing providing immaculate service. This facility has everything I need to get an amazing workout in. The members and atmosphere is refreshing and motivating. You are surrounded by like minded, kind and supportive individuals. Thank you Mike.

Amazing experience. Great ppl and great environment. The owner Mike is awesome, really friendly and cares about the facility and it's members. Strongly recommend. 10/10

No one picks up the phone, does anyone work there? Also it says you need to wear a mask and make an appointment when you google search, not sure if it’s still a requirement or if they just haven’t updated the info online yet I would ask, but they don’t pick up the phone.

Inclusive community gym for serious lifters and athletes. Amazing management

Really friendly trainers and amazing workout environment and equipment!

Being a part of SHED family kept me motivated!

Shed Fitness isn't only about getting you in the best shape of your life, but it's about making you a whole being. Mike, the owner, is the grateful guru. You'll be smiling and shedding to a better life.

Love the place! The owner is super friendly and helps alot. The best thing i can go at any time of the day; No appointments needed

Amazing gym. Good vibes and great people!

One of the best gyms I have ever been to. Great equipment and atmosphere. Amazing community.

The gym may be good but I never made it there, I tried calling for a week to get a hold of someone there to ask some questions about fees and left messages but no one answered or called me back. The gym may be good but their inability to be contacted is definitely not good marketing.

Been lifting for over 10 years now, always felt self conscious and judged going to commercial gym like GoodLife & Crunch. SHED was recommended to me by a fellow member and coming here has been life changing. Close community - everybody is friendly, encouraging, and nobody feels out of place or like a stranger. I’ve built some lifetime relationships here at SHED. Thank you Mike for providing the great environment and outlet for us meatheads

I say that this is the best private gym in Pickering. The people there a like-minded, pleasant, goal oriented, and everyone brings a family vibe where they want to see each person succeed. Mike is a great owner and he’s very supportive. The gym has always been a place of therapy for me, and when I joined this gym during the end of last year, I knew instantly that this would be my new home.

I would highly recommend Shed Fitness. It’s got everything you need. The atmosphere is great and so is the owner, Mike. Thank you for my sanctuary, Mike!!!

Amazing place! Everyone is very friendly. Equipment is great, exactly what you need, place is very clean! So happy I left my big box gym for SHED, I am never going back!

great environment! the owner Mike is very friendly and accepting of all people, would definitely recommend… best gym I’ve been a part of thus far

Been coming to the gym for personal training sessions with the owner Mike for the last few months. What a great experience. He's taught me so much and has really helped me stay motivated to reach my goals. The overall atmosphere of the gym is so friendly and welcoming, it makes it so easy and enjoyable to keep coming back!! Such a great little community here, I'm so happy to be a part of it :)

The only gym I will go to. Mike is like family and treats all his members with respect and has a generous heart. He helped me out back when I didn't have much and gave a few free months, and I know the countless other people he has helped out or given the benefit of the doubt to. Mike is a man for the community and is passionate about the gym environment he has created. His gym atmosphere is one that feels like family.

Trained with Mike (the owner) for 3-4 months in 2022. Hadn't been in a gym for over 15 years. Also had recurring knee and back issues. Told Mike I wanted to lose weight for a wedding in March 2023 but the main goal was to learn to lift properly and just get stronger. He basically got me to the point where I would come in and do my own sessions. Mike and all the other trainers are super knowledgeable but also very different methods/styles so there's probably one that fits what you're looking for (if you want one). I train at different times of the day and even at its busiest, there's enough equipment to be able to do whatever your plan was. It'll be 11 months at the end of this month since joining and it's the only gym I've been able to say I've joined and actively used for this long. Definitely recommend it if you want to really commit yourself to whatever your fitness goals are because everyone else is on the same vibe. Pic reference: Left was when I first started training (Aug 2022). Right is recently (Jun 2023). I'm down 45 lbs but went from 35% body fat to 20-22%.

I love the community vibe of this club.I met the owner Mike, he welcomed me to the facility with open arms and he helped me feel comfortable right away. I would Highly recommend this place if you are new to fitness.
