    Excellent crossfit gym. Just about every class has a warmup, a skill section (which typically everyone does together), and a workout. Every single movement is demonstrated in every single class, and coaches actively observe to ensure that you're moving well and properly. Sometimes I'll look at the workout portion and see that its just 12 or 15 minutes, but trust me, its work, and will leave you sweating and breathing heavy. Tonnes of classes every day and a great community. Excellent running group too!

    This is one of the largest gyms I've visited, they have a great facility. The owner was super friendly and helpful, loved his wealth of knowledge and crossfit experience. The coach was very welcoming and positive, he even taught me a new way to stretch which I appreciate. The community here is very warm and welcoming, I got a good sweat in with great people. Definitely will be back whenever visiting Canada 🇨🇦

    I came in for a drop in class and it was easy to schedule and follow along. The facilities are huge, clean, and super organized. Coach Jose gave me good tips on improving my form while lifting and was knowledgeable about the CrossFit games competitions. Overall, I got a great workout in a stellar facility.

    One of the best gyms I have ever attended. The CrossFit classes are well organized the coaches are very experienced and understanding. They will always provide feedback and option to change the workout to match you abilities. They have recently started in to new programs such as Olympic lifting.. cant wait to see what new thing Paul will bring . Still, I have been going for almost three years on and off. Never a bad day there

    Best CrossFit gym ever! Great coaches and an outstanding facility with top notch equipment. If you want to get fitter and have fun doing it, there is no other place to go. I trust Paul and the CFC coaches not only with my workouts, but also my two boys (13 and 9 years old) who have become stronger, faster and more athletic working through the CrossFit Kids Program.

    Great community and gym. I was initially intimidated when I started but all coaches and members super friendly and the coaches supported me to scale when needed. And still do. I've become stronger and a better runner by regularly working out at CrossFit Colosseum. Am also impressed by the safety measures put in place during the pandemic so we can keep working out.

    Absolutely massive gym with a huge assortment of equipment and various training options (classes, open gym, personal training, team training). Whether you are a professional athlete or just starting out, the coaches and team at Colosseum will be able to help you crush your goals! Colosseum also has a fantastic and inclusive community of members. Definitely worth checking out!

    Colosseum is honestly the best gym you will ever find. It's a place where you will not only get fit, but achieve all your goals and meet amazing people. The coaches are amazing, and they will do everything to help you achieve your objectives. Plus you get to be part of an amazing welcoming community, where you can thrive being who you are.

    Amazing community and fantastic workout. Saved my life during all the Covid lockdowns by staying connected, virtual wods and loaning me equipment. This is by far the best gym I have ever joined.

    This is my first ever CrossFit and I genuinely love it. From doing only 2 classes a week I have started doing 3 a week and also joined the running group ( that speaks a lot for itself) Everyone from Paul (the Owner) and coaches who help you navigate through the CrossFit are nothing but, amazing! I have never liked isolated gyms but, yet missed the space to workout, right equipments and great coaches. This is your place people…Huge Facility, Tonnes of Equipments, Coaches who will make sure your form is right is some of the many things I want to highlight. All this comes with great music to pump you up and fellow CrosFitters who will cheer on your to reach your goals. Drop in for exhilarating experiencing and be a part of CrossFit Colosseum Family!

    Best place to get a really good workout and to discover that athlete in you. A great place to build friendships. From the Owners and Coaches everyone is very committed to provide a good and safe place to workout. Members are dedicated to their sport and are very friendly and supportive. I have been a member of this gym since 2016.

    This place is amazing. I, like lots of people, watch the CrossFit games and was so interested and curious about getting started. After months of deliberation (with myself) I decided to give it a try. For me, I was intimidated and nervous about getting started. I am into fitness myself but have never did anything like this. From my first day, everyone was so welcoming, encouraging and supportive of new comers and regulars. It’s a safe place that you look forward to going to everyday. My trainer was Eve, and she was absolutely awesome. I took to her right away and after 5 minutes of my intro felt at ease. I never feel unwelcome or nervous and I wish I would have done this years ago. I enjoy going to classes and seeing familiar faces, getting pumped up and making jokes. I’m so happy there and it’s the best workout I’ve had and I have been exercising regularly for over 10 years. It’s a fun place to workout and feels like you are a community. You can ask anyone, any questions and people are always there to help you. The coaches are all knowledgeable, friendly and it’s so nice to have someone giving you tips. Don’t think twice. If you love CrossFit or are not sure or just want a stellar place with positive energy where you can get the best workout of your life in, this place is it. Period.

    Proper form and good technique will make a difference in any physical activity you choose to perform and that is what you get when you train at the CrossFit Colosseum. I noticed how incredibly superior in terms of body and movement awareness the athletes from the Colosseum are when I went to see a CrossFit competition at a different gym. While all the other athletes were wobbly while attempting cleans and front squats, the representatives of the colosseum were impeccable with the integrity of every movement! Credits to the amazing coaches we have!

    Feels like home, moved to the area in February 2021, joined in November 2021. I immediately felt like I was part of the community, Paul and the coaches are just fantastic. Even though I’m not new the fitness, I’m new to CrossFit and got individualized coaching cues during the classes. My performance and confidence has increased exponentially. They know how to push you within your limits, safely. Worth every penny!

    I credit Paul and Jose to not only changing my thoughts on fitness, but on my overall health. I’m finally in the driver’s seat of my own health and on the road to being an active healthy able bodied person…. Thanks to these guys 🙏🙏🙏

    Dropped in whilst over from Australia. Lovely people, welcoming and a nice relaxed vibe. Two massive zones, lots of cool touches throughout the box. Thanks for the hospitality!

  • 5/5 Manpreet S. 1 year ago on Google
    This is the place to be to get you in shape physically, mentally and spiritually. It's more than fitness, its community. Lots of smiles and fist bumps before and after your work out. Take care of yourself, you're your own best investment.

  • 5/5 Sharfaraz S. 1 year ago on Google
    I’ve been to CrossFit boxes around the world but I haven’t found a place that’s as good as this. The trainers really care about your form and wellbeing. Jose specifically is the best CrossFit trainer I’ve come across. His commitment to making sure no one hurts themselves while still pushing hard is amazing. Would highly recommend for a workout if you’re in the area.

    This is my third Crossfit gym in the last four years and it is by far my favourite. Great programming, great coaching, great location and parking is never a problem. I highly recommend this gym to anyone starting crossfit or experienced crossfitter. My boyfriend and I really enjoy the Olympic lifting classes and Paul always hosts really fun and inclusive events for all the members. Love it here!!

  • 5/5 Michelle L. 2 years ago on Google
    My boyfriend and I were in the city for the weekend, dropped in for an open gym. We were greated with a warm welcome by the owner who showed us around the place and made us feel at home. Very nice gym, lots of room to workout, every equipment you might need is there and available. Would most definitely come back !

  • 5/5 Darwin T. 1 year ago on Google
    I've trained here a number of times when I visit the Toronto area. This is among the best crossfit boxes I've been to. I went for 5 straight days, with 3 different coaches all as experienced and professional as the other. The 6am class is full of enthusiastic engaged, fit, supportive people. The owner Paul is welcoming, eager to help and a real professional coach. I loved my time here and can't wait to return.

  • 5/5 Terence R. 2 years ago on Google
    Best workout experience around! Always leave feeling tired but like I achieved something. The instructors are very helpful, knowledgeable and fun! Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Liz W. 2 years ago on Google
    I dropped into this gym last weekend when I was visiting Toronto. The owner, Paul, was awesome to communicate with and was really welcoming. Great coaching, great community and FREE candy for Halloween. What more could you want? I would highly recommend this place as both a tourist but also to anyone who is looking to get started with their CrossFit journey.

  • 5/5 Aislinn M. 2 years ago on Google
    Coloseum is quite simply the best gym in Toronto. I drop in frequently when I’m in Toronto and it’s my CrossFit home away from home. Pail, the owner, is absolutely awesome - the community here is amazing and welcoming, and the programming + attention from the coaches is fantastic. Even as a traveller, for me it feels like home. This place is truly special.

    I dropped in to this CrossFit box while traveling and I have to say, it was an excellent experience. The staff were incredibly welcoming and made me feel right at home. The coach (Paul) is knowledgeable and supportive, providing great cues and modifications throughout the workout to ensure proper form and safety. The programming was challenging but accessible, with plenty of options for scaling and progression. The facility itself was clean and well-maintained, with all the necessary equipment and amenities. But what really stood out to me was the sense of community among the members. Everyone was friendly and supportive. Overall, I highly recommend this CrossFit box to anyone looking for a great workout and a welcoming community. Thank you for a wonderful drop-in experience!

    Dropped in while visiting Toronto for work and had an awesome time! Paul made me feel right at home and part of the family straight away, including chirping me! Which just made me work harder :) He watched to make sure I was safe but then left me to my own devices which was fantastic. The facility is humungous and has absolutely everything you need. I spent an extra hour in the back half of the gym doing core and accessory work, which was just as spacious and well-equipped. Will definitely come back anytime I'm in Toronto! Thanks Paul!

    I dropped into CrossFit Colosseum while travelling and I must say this was a highlight of my trip! This gym has anything and everything you could ask for in a CrossFit gym. From a very welcoming staff who make you feel at-home right away to a huge sense of community from other members. They have an abundance of space and equipment as well so you will have no troubles finding what you need to perform any workouts. The facility was also kept very clean and they have a sauna which I found to be very cool. Whether you are looking for a new permanent gym or just one to drop in to as you are travelling, CrossFit Colosseum is the gym I would recommend you go to.

    I dropped in at CrossFit Colosseum while I was in town for some training. The facility is awesome with lots of space and equipment. The owner, staff and members were all very welcoming and helpful! Definitely recommend checking it out if you are ever in the area.

    Had a great experience doing a drop-in at the gym! I’ve always wanted to come out since it’s such a big facility and it did not disappoint. All of the equipment you would need as an aspiring elite CrossFit athlete, and very welcoming members.

🫤 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...
