    Solid neighbourhood gym in Forest Hill. Clientele is mostly wealthy local residents, and so not especially diverse. Has everything you need, although if you like to use machines rather than free weights, you may not have quite as much range as you might at a big gym chain. However, even at busy times of day, there aren’t that many people and you can usually use what you want (treadmill fans may be disappointed though since there are only two). Fob access, friendly staff, clean and comprehensive locker room setup. Cost is around $115/mo. Beware of the gaggle of UCC/private school kids (who don’t want to use their own multimillion dollar school gym setups) that show up en masse in the mid/late afternoons. If you like a quieter gym with solid features, however, I would recommend this place!

    Joined in November 2018 to follow my trainer Jason who is very knowledgeable and keeps pushing me to the next level. Gym is very clean and well organized as well as the change rooms/showers. All the equipment is top of the line and even when it’s busy, I’ve really never had to wait for a machine. This is one of the best gyms to join in the Eglinton/avenue rd area.

    Really want to love this gym. But only 2 treadmills (not like the 4 or 5 as in the picture), and both are wobbly and terrible to run on. Please fix… also $50 for a fob key is a charge to my surprise

    Spencer: Such a Spirit! Spencer is the best trainer in the world!! Not only because of his out-of-this-world knowledge on anything health, nutrition and exercising. His clear instructions on the 'why', are also really easy to understand, even for me! But also the fun he brings into the exercises; all he seems to be doing is bringing out the best out of yourself. He makes you ‘automatically’ want to become really good at what you’re doing and that works infectiously. Hence, getting to the results you’re looking for are fuelled by your ánd his motivation. It seems like his second nature to commit to your goals and that makes him the perfect trainer, motivator and mentor! Spencer watches every single muscle you move and each position you take on, so he can guide you towards not only the best but also the safest way of exercising. I wish I could train with Spencer everyday. He truly is a gem of a person and a heck of a trainer. The gym makes you feel included. Whether it is trainers, staff, employees or other clients, I find the vibe incredibly friendly and welcoming. It made me feel at ease right away.

    The gym is in a good location in town if you wanna grab a bite to eat after a workout session, great sushi bars, but then you wouldn't wanna get fat after sweating buckets on the running machine. A bit expensive but worth it if your committed to regular exercise training. My personal trainer - Austin was great & very committed to his craft. Very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. I would recommend Body + soul fitness centre gym, especially to mothers who want to lose their baby weight. They are very baby friendly. 5 stars *****

    Excellent location, always available to use the machine, you can conveniently use either the boxing bag, running space (beside the tred mills), excellent space for yoga, martial arts, etc..., or use the heavy weights and other machines. The personal team from BSF. are always welcome, friendly, and able to help you in any way. Lockers have a good side, showers, and Washrooms clean 🚻. The reason I do not give five stars is that one urinal is not working. Out of that, everything is great. You can do your exercises alone, friends, others, or specialized instructors, which is super.

    BOOK YOUR PERSONAL TRAINING WITH SPENCER. From the moment I started working with him, my fitness journey has been transformed in the best way possible. Spencer is not just a trainer; he's a motivator, an educator, and a true fitness freak. You can tell he has a passion for training and you could see it in every session we had together. Spencer is knowledgeable and knows how to cater to your your goals and will create a plan accordingly. Spencer's positive and encouraging attitude has made each training session something I genuinely look forward to. He pushes me just the right amount, always ensuring I'm challenged but never overwhelmed. I've seen remarkable progress in my fitness level and confidence since working with him.

    Beautiful space and has great amenities and equipment, but no one works here on a Sunday heads up! I wanted to go sign up, but there is no signage indicating there are no staff, and nothing on their voicemail. A current gym member had to let me in and show me around which I'm sure isn't supposed to be a member benefit. Weird introduction to the gym, don't come here for the first time on a weekend I guess

    Great gym and great staff. Also, almost all clients are pleasant and nice. Left a big Canadian gym precisely because of some clients that make gym experiences bad for everyone, so I was very happy to see that this gym does not have that issue.

    Nice gym. Feels private and is never busy. Price is very high (100+taxes monthly).

  • 5/5 Robert C. 3 years ago on Google
    Awesome gym so glad I joined once gyms reopened in Toronto. The equipment is top notch, the workout room is very clean and well laid out and the company is professionally run by excellent and friendly staff. No complaints 10/10.

    Absolutely fantastic friendly environment, friendly trainers, this is the best gym I've been to compared to all the other ones. I love the atmosphere in the gym. I'm rebuilding myself for the last 6 months and i notice myself getting stronger every week, my trainer Asad is fantastic, he really takes the time to teach me the proper form for every exercise we do so my body gets stronger. I recommend this gym to everyone its definitely worth it.

    Love this place! Great atmosphere, and all the people are super nice. I hardly ever run into anyone in the change room which is great. I always feel very comfortable being there. Manager and trainers are all insanely friendly! Definitely recommend

    I worked at the Body and Soul Fitness - Eglinton & Avenue location for just about 1 year. During my time with this company I was able to participate in the CPTN Personal Training certification course. What I appreciated most was that my manager respected my lifestyle. I never had to choose between my personal and work life. The manager is a great person to work with. She lets you know what tasks are expected to be done and thats it. She doesn't make you feel less of a person and genuinely cares about seeing employees advanced whether within the company or not. The facility is great and it never gets overcrowded. Both the staff and gym members have built good rapport with each other. Everyone knows each other by name. The staff team is more of a family unit working together with one common interest as oppose to competing with each other. The staff team at this location plans monthly outings in order to have fun outside of the facility. I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for employment whether short or long term.

    As a professional in the health and fitness industry since 2011, I can say with the utmost confidence that each of the three Body + Soul locations provides an unparalleled, unique and professional experience each and every time you walk through the door. I've attended multiple professional development workshops at both the Leslie and Eglinton locations, and more recently had the pleasure of experiencing their new Front Street location. If you're looking for a premium, client centric facility to achieve your goals, look no further. Body + Soul is the place to be.

    Every single shift, I am always excited to come in! Rare is a gym with a community that always has a sense of support between all the members, and that's exactly how it consistently feels at Body + Soul. Beyond the members, this support also extends to all the staff, as I always feel encouraged by management to grow in my position as much as I want to. I know I can always approach my manager for any questions and guidance. There's never a dull moment at Body + Soul, but if you want a career with this gym, you're also always encouraged to develop and fulfill the vision you have for yourself. It couldn't be more true with this gym that you receive back how much you give yourself to your work every day. It's impossible to leave after a shift here without asking yourself every time if you're becoming the best you know you can be so you can see everyone around you also become their best! As a whole: Warm community, coworkers you can consider as coworkers for life, flexible schedule, management that doesn't exist in a typical gym, a full range of equipment :)

    Great gym and owner. The gym has 2 other locations which is a huge plus. Some of the most knowledgeable trainers and physiotherapists I’ve met. Lots of equipment for any workout you want to do. Most importantly, super clean.

  • 5/5 Hymie N. 7 years ago on Google
    This is a super friendly gym. The trainers are outstanding and are concerned about ones welfare, abilities and skills. I have been going there for 4 years and I enjoy training there. They have all the equipment one needs and there is more than enough for everyone. The gym is spacious and never seems crowded. I was 67 when I started there and now I feel at least 20 years younger. Excellent and considerate trainers.

  • 5/5 Simo V. 1 year ago on Google
    Great gym, doesn't get too busy if you pick your hours. Good selection of free weights.

  • 5/5 Billie s. 2 years ago on Google
    Great equipment selection. Not too busy. Very clean. Monthly contracts and no pushy sales. Highly recommend this gym.

  • 5/5 Carlos e. 2 years ago on Google
    The manager is super nice . The equipment is great and the place is cleaner than any gym I've ever seen. My only complaint is that they only have two treadmills and they're both always taken at 5pm. They need at least one more

  • 5/5 Michael C. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is great. I've been working with Chris for awhile now and I have seen a lot of positive changes, especially to my posture and with the tenseness of my back and legs. While the gym has everything you could need, Chris has been great at giving home workout routines to mitigate each time the government restricts gyms.

    Excellent place to come plus it is very clean which is an added bonus would recommend

  • 2/5 Alu B. 1 year ago on Google • 1 review
    I do enjoy this place but I really would like to know when they plan on repairing the steam room at their Forest Hill Location? This is not a cheap membership and if that's what's being advertised then it should be met. As much as I enjoy it I am about ready to cancel. There is no notice on the door.. no updates... nothing. No communication... So for that I'm giving it 2 stars. I've been waiting for nearly 6-7 months for them to fix it. Not acceptable at all. If you have time to raise trainer fee's you have time to hire someone to check out the steamer. Very annoying.

    The gym is clean, organized, and there is not so loaded people. It s just perfect. I like it because it is good for the area, but also the people there. Are very friendly and welcoming. They check on you how you are going, when it comes to your plans about weight loosing.
