👍👍 I saw pictures of this gym online and was intrigued enough to sign up for a free trial even though I was already a member at another gym. It only took one class and I immediately cancelled my membership at my previous gym and joined here. They’ve done such a good job building their team because ever...

    6 Star WORLD CLASS facility. Clean, chic, brightly lit, well equipped, great customer service. CLEAN and ORGANIZED. This is very important to me. The place is new, but the materials and finishing is or high quality so, that will ensure things last and stay clean. Cleanliness puts me at peace, so I feel really relaxed and inspired training here. The layout of everything from the big windows at the back of the gym, the sauna, locker lay out and training equipment is all thoughtfully planned and laid out. VERY WELL EQUIPPED. I joined here for the boxing, but also come to weight train which I used to do 6 days a week at another gym, but Westend has enough equipment that I prefer to be here to get a training session in, run on the treadmill, relax in the sauna. This place has all a boxing athlete needs. FRIENDLY STAFF and MEMBERS. From my first interaction with Lucy, then Vinny and Michael I felt very welcome and accommodated at Westend. All members are friendly, polite and respectful of each other and the facility. There is gym ettiequte among the members. No boorish and obnoxious behaviour. This is the type of local facility I was looking for. CHIC and GORGEOUS. From the heavy elegant front doors, the beautiful front foyer, lacquered wood trims, identically framed boxing posters and beautiful exposed brick Westend exuberates class. As a boxing fan, I’m always starring at the posters around the gym in awe. Much respect to the owners. They should be proud of this facility. They took the long vision on building this facility. Everything is thought out, no expense spared on details.

    I saw pictures of this gym online and was intrigued enough to sign up for a free trial even though I was already a member at another gym. It only took one class and I immediately cancelled my membership at my previous gym and joined here. They’ve done such a good job building their team because every single coach here is amazing. The facilities are also so clean and maintained better than any gym I’ve been to. An unlimited membership not only gives you access to boxing classes but you also have access to the entire gym. (I paid the same price for only three classes a week at my previous gym!!) Overall it’s been a game changer for my fitness these past six months because I actually look forward to coming here. It’s basically become a second home. I highly recommend checking them out :)

    Best boxing gym I have ever been to! West End is a welcoming environment for all skill levels and small classes for a more personalized training experience. Great facilities, reasonable prices, and knowledgeable, skilled trainers. There are plenty of classes and times to fit into any schedule and various memberships that suit your exact needs. Pierce is one of the standout coaches there! He breaks down boxing techniques and drills for any skill level while still making it a fun and engaging class. If you're looking for a new boxing gym, to pick up the sport, or even just to get a good workout out in THIS IS THE PLACE!

    The West End Athletic Club... I cannot stress how important the club has been in my life. It is my happy place so to speak. The equipment, facility, cleanliness, staff and members are second to none. There is a healthy and vibrant community that exists. Everyone is made to feel welcome!

    I attended my first ever boxing class about a month ago and have been addicted ever since! I find that West End offers a variety of classes, as well they have a large section of workout equipment (machines, rigs, platforms etc) that allow me to achieve some of the best workouts I have had in a very long time.. Beyond this the facility itself is 5 star, clean and complete with high end finishes including saunas, espresso and smoothie bar. What I truly enjoy the most about any gym is the environment. At West End I find the coaches and other members super friendly & motivating.. as a boxing newbie from my first day other members and coaches have taken time to teach me techniques to help build my skills... theres a strong sense of community here and that’s one of my favourite parts of West End Athletic Club. Keep it up & see you all soon! Daniella

    My 4yo daughter joined their weekly boxing class for little warriors. She absolutely loved coming into the gym every weekend. The coaches were great - led fun classes, kept the kids engaged and taught her great basic skills about boxing & fitness for a child her age. We will always consider West End AC when choosing our school year extra curricular activities. Thank you to the team of coaches & staff for creating such a great program!

    I've loved working out here for the past few months. It's exceptionally clean and all the instructors and regulars are very friendly. The classes are the right amount of challenging without being intimidating. Whether you are a beginner or more experienced, you'll fit right in to the community and find the right class for you.

I highly recommend WEST END Athletic Club, for themselves and or the kids classes! There 👌 awesome.

    On November 3rd I went to Friday Night Fights to support a close friend. This venue is aesthetically unique, well-lit, and rather clean. It brought great crowd. I had trouble finding my seat as I do wish they had a seating chart to help. The staff could’ve been more helpful with this. I’m sure this is a great training facility but I can only speak of the point of view as a spectator.

    I have been a member of West End for the past year and I absolutely love it! The facility is exceptionally clean and the staff are amazing. I wasn’t sure how I would feel about joining a boxing gym without prior experience, but I was made to feel so comfortable and welcomed from day 1! The owner Silvia is the kindest person! Loving boxing and loving this gym!! 10+++

    Can't wait for West End Athletic to reopen....its by far the best gym I've been to. The boutique style is exactly what I was looking for. Extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff with a pristine facility. I love this place and I'm now suffering withdrawal. Please open soon!!

  • 5/5 Manuela D. 1 year ago on Google
    I had never boxed before coming to West End AC. The coaches transitioned me into the classes despite not having any experience. Best decision I’ve made. My fitness journey is now well underway thanks to the meticulous care of the coaching staff. I supplement my group class training by working out solo during the open gym sessions. West End has their own branded app also where I can easily see their class and open gym schedule. If you’ve always wanted to box for fitness this is the place !!

    I’m taking my level one boxing course here. The gym is excellent. Equipment is top notch. Owner and staff are friendly. You have to see this gym to believe it. Posters of all the greats everywhere - special shoutout to George Chuvalo! First gym I’ve been in where 1. The speed bags have air in them. 2. Nobody gets upset with you if you make some noise hitting them. Cleto Reyes gear everywhere! I’m joining this gym! You should too!

    WestEnd is really one of the gems of this city in terms of gyms. It is well-laid-out, impeccably clean, and offers just an amazing array of workout equipment, fitness and boxing classes, and personal training. This place played a huge role in my life, leading to playing football in Connecticut as a 10th-grader at my prep school. The time I spent there through the last couple years, training privately under COVID protocols especially made a huge difference for me.

    This gym is one of a kind. The facilities themselves speak for the effort and care that the owners have for their staff and members. This gym is spotless! The equipment is state of the art as are the coaches. The classes are the highlight of my day, I always leave with a smile, feeling like I have improved physically and mentally. Needless to say, I am a member for life.

    West End is the best gym I’ve belonged to. The staff are really helpful and the environment there is very non judgemental regardless of experience. It’s a comfortable,clean atmosphere and I always look forward to working out. Their classes are amazing and so are their amenities. Can’t wait for them to reopen!

    The West End Athletic Club has been a staple in my life since joining. From the minute you walk in the door you immediately notice the cleanliness and overall friendly attitude of all the staff and members. I’ve done 1 on 1 training sessions, group classes and worked out on my own, and no matter what the atmosphere makes you want to get the most out of your workout and time there. The location is very convenient no matter what part of the city you’re traveling from. It’s obvious to see that there’s a true passion for boxing at this club because the collection of fight posters dating back from over 50 years ago, to the present, is unlike any collection you’ve ever seen. If joining a beautiful gym, with great members, staff and ownership is what your looking for, this is the gym for you.

    Right from the moment you sign up, West End Athletic Club offers a warm and welcoming environment. Everyone working there (and Other members) are very nice, big space, clean facilities, and nice equipment. I myself havent been boxing very long, and never once felt intimidated, as all levels of boxers are welcome. I took the technical boxing classes with Tommy, and would leave each class feeling more confident in my technique. Very thankful to West End for their hospitality, and their willingness to educate others.

    I couldn’t be happier with my experience at this gym. The coaches and facility are phenomenal. Super clean and very inclusive environment. You won’t be disappointed if you’re looking for a fun, challenging and engaging workout. I would even give an additional star if google allowed it!

    Clean environment, top-notch equipment, competent and knowledgeable instructors who are also humble and friendly…. I would definitely recommend this place if you need to practice your techniques or improve your skillset, to both beginners and advanced boxers. It’s also the perfect place if you need to get fit, as there are a lot of conditiong classes and state of the art fitness equipment.

  • 5/5 Adam Di P. 2 years ago on Google
    Small and beautifully laid out facility with 1st class amenities, atmosphere and staff. My son had the good fortune of receiving boxing instruction from coach Remo DiCarlo, former Canadian boxing champion. Coach DiCarlo is tremendously patient with his students and does a great job in helping them build their skills and confidence. Thank you West End - we are most grateful!

    My experience at the Westend Athletic Club is beyond words. The gym is huge and well maintained. Staff and trainers are very kind and extremely knowledgeable. Workouts are great. Would highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Jeremy M. 1 year ago on Google
    Very beautiful Gym. The bags are top quality Cleto Reyes. All the machines a well maintained and look brand new. The gym maintains a modern aesthetic while also giving old school vibes from all the boxing legends hanging on the fall as artwork or fight posters. Would recommend to anymore that is looking to take up boxing or looking a more private gym to workout in.

It's a true gem in the fitness world, and I'm grateful to have found such a fantastic gym to call home.

    While this boxing/mma gym may be more expensive than others, it is 10x cleaner than any other boxing/mma gyms in the West GTA. The equipment is also top notch. The benefits of this gym are more personal instruction, friendliness and cleanliness. Pre-Pandemic, I used to be in a really great shape, running Spartan, Tough Mudder, 5K's and half marathons all the time, but unfortunately I gained over 40 lbs. Post pandemic, I tried to focus on strength training only and I got tired and bored. This gym with it's friendliness has reinvigorated my passion for fitness and I appreciate it.
