I cannot recommend this gym more highly. Flo has been an incredible asset to my training and rehabilitation. His knowledge is really second to none and he has improved my perspective on health, training, and longevity immeasurably. I will continue to work with Flo as long as he will have me and I would encourage anyone that is considering trying his gym to do the same without hesitation.

I decided to take my life and health in control and purchased personal training at Flo Fitness......let me say that it is the best thing I have done for myself. Sam is an amazing trainer and she makes absolutely sure that you do the exercise correctly in order to get the maximum results...no short cuts there. Everyone has been very welcoming and you get "high fives" from everybody. I would recommend this place to everyone that wants to get stronger and healthier...it is worth every penny :-) Thanks to everyone at Flo Fitness...Lucie

Coach Flo and the coaching team at FloFitness CrossFit Essence is like nothing I have experienced before. The attention to detail and personalized attention during CrossFit classes is extraordinary. I have recently moved provinces and I feel like I have already made tremendous strides in my athletic performance. I look forward to learning and developing more at this box. The community is also phenomenal. Unlike many CrossFit gyms everyone is always saying hello to one another and Introducing themselves to the newbie. I didn’t feel new or uncomfortable once being at this gym. I recommend anyone looking for a change in programming, gym, or a great drop in box to check out Flo!!!!

Crossfit Essence is fantastic on all fronts -- all of the coaches are very supportive and on top of making sure your form is on point, the people are all very welcoming and friendly (for real -- no judgment in this gym), and the space has everything you need. Prior to coming to Crossfit Essence I was having a really hard time motivating myself to get back into an active lifestyle, and for the first time in a long time I'm actually excited to hit the gym. I would absolutely recommend it!

Crossfit Essence is an awesome gym! The workouts are always challenging, new, and fun. My fiancé and I joined over two years ago and we’ve never looked back. The coaches also instill a sense of community in the gym and people. Everyone is supportive along the way, regardless of your skill level. Definitely recommended!

Whenever I am back in town, I make sure to drop in at CF Essence. The space is efficiently laid out with all the equipment typical of a CF box. Flo, the owner, has a unique training approach that comes from his experience as a physical therapist. He knows how to tailor a training program to an individual's needs and limitations, and is 100% committed in seeing results from his clients. If you have a particular skill or lift you want to master, then Flo is definitely the guy you want to see!

Dropped in to grab a quick workout while I was in town. I had never been in before and the experience was outstanding. I was allowed to do my own workout (even though the WOD looked awesome that day), despite giving little notice. The equipment was top notch with a really cool atmosphere. I had the privilege of working out with the owner and head coach, Flo. He was a great guy, very welcoming, and helped push me along to a front squat PR! Would recommend it for anyone in the hood.

I've tried most of the CrossFit gyms in Toronto and in my opinion, Crossfit Essence is one of the best. The gym has a strong combination of knowledgeable, caring coaching, friendly members, and convenient location. As an example of the great coaching, last spring the team ran a 6-week "transformation" program for my wife and I. The program consisted of customized workout and nutritional programs and personal training. At the end of the 6 weeks I had dropped almost 7% body fat. The best results I'd ever seen from any previous workout plan. They also have fantastic rehab. Last year I slipped a disc in my back playing sports and they guided me through the entire rehab process - from initially stopping the pain and unfreezing my back, to safely treating the injury and training my back so that it is stronger than ever. I can't say enough positive things about this gym. They usually run promotions so potential new members can try the gym for free. If you're thinking about it, do it!

Can't say enough good things about CrossFit Essence - about the gym, the programming, the coaches, the people, and the results! I joined the gym about two years ago because I was looking for something new to add to my workout routine. I never considered myself a CrossFitter and admittedly was intimidated by the thought of joining a CrossFit gym. But thank goodness I did! At 31 years old, I'm in better shape than ever before. And I have fun doing it. I love the people arguably more than anything. It's a real family atmosphere. I couldn't recommend the gym more!

I absolutely love everything about Flofitness CF Essence . I was pretty nervous to try Crossfit for the first time but after taking my first class last year I knew right away that there was something amazing here. Very experienced and knowledgable coaches focusing on technique and programming that allows you to see and feel yourself progressing each week no matter what fitness level you are at to begin with. Not only is their expertise incredible but they genuinely care about everyone they are training and working with. The supportive and welcoming community that's been created here is very special and I am so happy and grateful to have found this place :)

After coming back from a serious knee injury and not being in top shape, finding the right gym with proper coaching was an absolute must. Walking through the door to Crossfit Essence for the first time was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Flo, Maya, Tina, and Sam are all excellent welcoming coaches and bring their expertise from different areas to make you a complete athlete and a generally more fit person. It's rare in Crossfit to find a box that's both competitive and has a strong community. This one has found the right recipe! Flo's programming is both fun and challenging but scalable to any level of fitness. I’m very grateful to be part of such a great community. Give it a try, it'll be one of the best choices you've ever made. #BestCoaches + #BestCommunity = #BestGym
