    Short Review: Gym - 10/10 (looks badass) Workouts intensity - 10/10 Would I come here again? Yes, I would certainly come. Long Review: I recently had the opportunity to visit One Academy fitness gym, and overall, my experience was highly positive. From the moment I stepped foot inside, it was clear that this gym values space, intensity, and effective workouts. However, there was one aspect that I believe could be improved to enhance the overall experience for first-time visitors like myself. First and foremost, the spaciousness of One Academy was a standout feature. The gym boasts ample room for various exercises and equipment, ensuring that I never felt cramped or restricted during my workouts However, as a first-timer, I encountered some difficulties with the group fitness classes. It would be beneficial to assign numbers to the workouts, making it easier to locate specific exercises within the class. This small addition would simplify the navigation process, particularly for newcomers like myself. Additionally, having one of the group fitness student or staff member available to guide new members and help them acclimate to the workouts in the class would greatly enhance the overall experience. The trainers are exceptional, and the facility is well-maintained. Although there is room for improvement in terms of navigation and inclusivity, these minor concerns do not overshadow the overall positive experience I had. I would highly recommend One Academy Fitness to anyone looking for a challenging and rewarding fitness journey.

    Updated review ~ From the very first day we stepped into One Academy gym, we felt a powerful sense of community. Now, after almost a year, we are not only still members but are also continuously evolving, both in strength and endurance. A colossal thank you goes to their revolutionary 'hiflux' program which keeps us engaged and perpetually challenged. We were impressed from day one, but after these months, it's evident that the gym's coaches are its backbone. They are nothing short of phenomenal – always inclusive, ever approachable, and incredibly knowledgeable. With their guidance, we've tapped into potentials we never knew we had. The staff too are a league apart, always at hand to assist, ensuring that our gym experience is nothing short of impeccable. Beyond just the workouts, the community spirit at One Academy is invigorating. They have an uncanny ability to make fitness feel like a fun group activity rather than a chore. This sense of camaraderie is exemplified in the fantastic parties they throw for members. We had a blast at the holiday party last November - our first-ever gym party, and it was truly lit! 🔥 While we're avid fans of the 7:45am class, owing to how seamlessly it fits into our daily routine, we've occasionally ventured into the 7pm slot. Regardless of the time, what remains consistent is the dynamism of the workouts and the positivity radiating throughout the gym. To sum it up, One Academy isn't just a place to sweat it out. It's where you challenge your boundaries, celebrate your victories (big or small), and build lasting relationships. For those with packed schedules seeking that golden hour to rejuvenate, this gym is a sanctuary. We've grown stronger, more fit, and found a space to not just exercise but also socialize. Joining One Academy has been one of our best decisions, and we ardently look forward to the countless workouts ahead!

    Great classes! Their four week progression model really pushes for results. I love it and the changes I’m seeing in my body. There’s an amazing community of super supportive people. Can’t say enough good things. Coaches really help you wherever you’re at in your fitness journey. Don’t get me wrong - the classes are brutally tough for any fitness level.

    Everyone here is so friendly. As someone who is quite intimidated at gyms I feel so comfortable here and get an amazing workout every time. It’s also really nice that there is a cafe inside where you can grab a coffee or smoothie and catch up on some emails. It always sucked going into somewhere all sweaty after. The classes are challenging and fun with amazing music. The coaches are all phenomenal and so supportive. Everyone there is always is going above and beyond to make me feel welcomed and encourage you throughout these sweat sessions. The facility is also really awesome. It has lots of great classes but also open gym if you want to work on something individually. Booking classes are really easy on an app. Can’t say enough great things.

  • 5/5 Zoe L. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best gyms I have ever been to, PERIOD, and I travel/move a lot so I have had a fair share of experience to different workout settings, especially as someone from the west coast, we have a multitude of fitness options. Most attendees are actually there to work out and are passionate in fitness, which is something that aligns with me; however, I do avoid the WEEKEND MORNING crowds as I have had experiences which "new" people were taking videos/pictures of themselves constantly DURING the circuit, which was frankly, quite off-putting. We are talking about selfies from different angles, not of the form of the workout. The setting and black interior at OA could be intimidating at first and gave me a throwback to my crossfit days, but the atmosphere itself is totally different, trainers extremely supportive and attentive, whereas the amenities are well-kept and clean.

    Hands down the best gym in Toronto. Have been a member for almost 5 years and love everything about this place. Can’t say enough about the coaches, staff and the workouts. Best of all is being part of the OA community and meeting amazing people.

    One Academy is one of those rare places that is kind, inviting but challenging and plays to my competitive nature. As a fitness professional, I always look for a new place to go and push my body to the maximum. This place does it with a smile. One of my favourite part of the gym were all the toys. An advanced rig, peg board, warp wall, rowing machine, hiking treadmills, sleds, medballs, kettlebell, weights, etc. These guys push progression which is a nice change in speed and weight. Definitely a place to try and push challenges and progression!

    I only have good words for my favorite gym. Staff is amazing, super helpful, knowledgeable, fun... They're always willing to help with a smile. The classes are super fun too and they challenge you every single time. I'm not a gym person but this format is the best for people that don't feel like using the machines by themselves or get bored at the gym. The personal trainers and massage therapist are great as well. Top top!!! Love this place

    Undoubtedly the finest gym in Toronto, and perhaps even on a global scale. Exiting a sweat-soaked shirt every time delivers an unparalleled sense of accomplishment.

  • 5/5 Ronnie S. 1 year ago on Google • 6 reviews
    The coaching and training at OA is unmatched. Your best will be challenged, your form will be correct, you will feel the change in your energy and mood, and you will surpass your goals. Client-focused, open everyday, eight in-person and two live virtual sessions per day, endurance training, runs, wellness clinics, RMT, physio, osteo, member events, lots of fun.

    Easily my favourite gym in town. This gym has versatility, quality training plans, high energy and build soldiers. Everyone is so fit, and at the same time so welcoming. Love the owner too, incredibly motivating! I hope they expand to more cities because when I am away I miss this spot!

    OA delivers on providing structured classes to unlock your physical potential. The coaches are very passionate and care about your success in reaching personal goals. The people who attend classes are genuinely supportive and non-judgemental. I have highly recommended One Academy to friends looking to improve their fitness routine.

    One academy classes are always super challenging but accessible to diverse fitness levels. Great location with parking nearby. Lots of mix of strength training, cross conditioning and cardio. I feel stronger after every class!

  • 5/5 Amanda H. 1 year ago on Google
    Best strength and conditioning fitness classes in Toronto. From their friendly staff, experienced trainers to epic playlist - OA training is one that gets you stronger.

    Best gym, coaches and fitness community on the planet! The 5:15am classes are a lifesaver for working parents. I’m in better shape now than I ever was before kids!

🫤 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...
