    The best gym in the GTA hands down, I felt completely at home training every day with other boxers looking to improve my game. All the coaches are amazing. RG is such a passionate coach, he actually cares about everyone that trains here. He will make sure to tell you what to work on as well as let you what works well for you. Coach Vic is the same, such a great person you feel like a family training here. Coach Almaz is also very knowledgeable. Cant wait to start training again

    Ive signed up with this gym for only the month of september 2020 as i was only in the city for a few weeks. The staff was very understanding and didn't try to shove a contract down my throat which i like. Right off the bat I noticed the boxing in this gym is pretty good, they have a lot of active competing pro fighters training here. I learned a lot during my short stay. Although due to the Covid pandemic the classes were very limited as far as training goes, as in no class sparring, rarely any close contact training with other students. It was mostly technique training on the bag and conditioning. Regarding cleanliness of the gym, ive seen some reviews stating how sweaty the gym is.. This is true, it is pretty sweaty but its a martial arts gym, name me a martial arts gym that doesn't have this problem. That being said i do see a lot of random clutter around gym specially near the ring. Id give the cleanliness a 6/10. The Instructors were very social and knowledgeable. Although during the classes the culture of the gym is very "in your face". I heard a lot of yelling and cussing from the instructors in an attempt to motivate the students, sometimes it can even come across as condescending. That being said, not once did it ever feel like it was personal or malicious, it seems like this is just their style of teaching. If this isn't your motivation/learning style it might be off putting for you. The workout equipment near the back of the gym is in good quantity and quality, I only see a few people using it so it was always available whenever i needed it. Probably my favorite part of the gym. Overall this is a great gym, If you have asperations in competing in your martial arts journey especially if you like to box I recommend this gym.

    Legit gym. Don’t recommend if your not looking to get hurt though. Was here several years ago and there was a lot of egos and guys trying to become pros. Not knocking the place but if your a working professional and don’t want to get a black eye or broken ribs from a high school kid trying to be a UFC fighter I would recommend a different spot.

    I've been going to this gym for 10+ years on and off due to work and school. I would like to firstly address that this gym is a great gym if you are looking for competitive boxing as I find many gyms are strictly only for fitness. They teach you the fundamentals of boxing and the team is encouraging as well as tough. Don't get me wrong, you can also get a great workout if fitness is your main focus as the instructors will push you to work at your best even at your own level and pace. RG the gym owner has always been welcoming and is very passionate about his gym as well as his fighters. He does his job right as he truly cares about his fighters and the people who uses his service. The gym, the coaches and the fighters are all like family, which is hard to find in a competitive setting. Everyone welcomes you with open arms and makes no judgement whatsoever. Not only have I put some serious work into boxing while I train here, but I have a lot of fun as there is a lot of laughs and giggles when necessary. Five star gym all the way.... I now live in Vancouver but if I ever move back to Toronto, no doubt that this is my to go to gym! It will always have a special place in my heart! RG, thank you for everything.

    AMAZING PLACE TO TRAIN! Straight up, I’ve built a new family at this gym and I wouldn’t be able to leave even if I tried. I've been going to Grant's for 2 years now, they’ve seen me at my best and they’ve seen me at my worst… and that’s progress. The environment around the gym is always positive, and we are constantly supporting each other. The trainers at Grant’s are some of the best people I know, they always push me to my limits and beyond. If you want to be a well-rounded, and successful fighter I highly suggest this gym. Even if you’re just trying to get in shape or stay fit, this is definitely the place to be.

    Been here for years now and I'm ts just a great vibe. No meatheads or egos and a nice mix of boxing, strength and conditioning, and Muay Thai for all ages. Trainers legit care and put in the effort to correct technique and push you to be better.

    The only place for boxing in the GTA. 7am classes with Coach Mehdi is absolutely the best way to start my day. The skill level of instructors surpass any gym I have been to. Highly recommended

    I've been waiting to get some experience before writing a review to get the full picture. Now after 9 months of training at this gym I can say I absolutely recommend this gym to everyone. Whether a professional boxer, newbie or just someone looking to get into shape, the coaches at grants will accommodate. Great staff, friendly positive motivating environment that pushes you further than you ever thought you can go. Lost 30 lbs without dieting and had a blast doing it.

  • 5/5 Jaymyi L. 9 years ago on Google • 5 reviews
    I joined this gym in May 2013. I train about 3-4 days a week. Ever since then, I've had nothing but pleasant experiences. RG is the best boxing trainer and consistently pushes me to reach new limits. Dom's bjj program is always engaging. The people are amazing and always push each other to do more. Would recommend this gym to anyone beginner or advanced.

    We've been members for almost 2 years, and find it to be a great experience and environment. No matter what your MMA interest or skill level is, there's a class there for you. The coaches are top-notch, and they work hard to keep classes interesting and push you towards/beyond your goals. If you need help most people will do what they can to assist you - no judgement or competitive bs.

  • 4/5 Edan N. 4 years ago on Google
    really enjoying the place and the instructors so far, only criticism I really have is of the cleanliness of the facilities (mats, gloves, change rooms), and some of the students often take classes slightly too seriously leading to potential (neck) injuries. obviously these aren't easy things to control at an MMA gym, but it makes a huge difference. shoutout to Jayden! very motivating and likeable coach.

  • 5/5 Pedram H. 3 years ago on Google
    I used to go there when I was around 13 or 14 and I loved everyone there and I want to go back. This is an awesome gym and I felt myself progressing. But my dad took me out because we didn't go there enough and it was to expensive. Hope to go back soon.

  • 1/5 Adam L. 5 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    After paying for an annual membership up front, I have been consistently evaded in my attempts to be refunded for the period of time in which the gym was non-operational during COVID. I have been promised calls back multiple times and never receive them. Grant’s MMA refuses to return the $632.80 I am owed (8 months at $70+tax - March 13, 2020 to November 19, 2020). I have trained at multiple gyms across Ontario and I am shocked at how this is being handled. I will update my review if this problem is resolved. If you are reading this then this gym has still not returned this money. Update: Nov 2023 - the money was never returned.

🫤 This gym was pretty reasonable for a while, given the perks of the black card membership. However since the beginning of the summer, it has been absolutely crowded with young high-school aged teens that show up in groups of 4 and higher chatting around the equipment. I recently realized that high-sc...
