Top Shot Golf - Trackman Simulator Bar

Indoor golf course

👍👍 Looking to do something with the kids? This is it. The owner is amazing with the kids and they love all the games they can choose from. I've tried other golf simulator locations in the area, and they don't compare. This place has way more space for us to golf, and you don't feel enclosed. Great way...

CrossFit Colosseum

Gym

👍👍 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 th...

Dosa Eatery Courtice

South Indian restaurant

👍👍 We went to Dosa eatery for dinner and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We ordered different dosas and all of them were delicious. Portions were big compared to other dosa places we have been.

Pizzeria Bros Hamilton (Hess Village)

Restaurant

👍👍 Went in on a Saturday evening for dinner, for the first time. Met the owner and chatted with her. She made the pizzas for my wife and I and they were amazing.

Julian Loy Fitness

Personal trainer

👍👍 Julian is just incredible. His SHRED program was the fastest I’ve ever seen results in my life. Within a week I saw changes. I’ve worked with many other programs and trainers and never have I gotten results so quickly. I also had a surgery recently and became discouraged due to my limited abilities...

Hoagies Heroes

Fast food restaurant

👍👍 Truly deserve the 5 stars!!! The chicken sandwich was juicy and flavourful! It MELTS in your mouth and is so delish. Grilled mushrooms, onion and peppers compliment the chicken beautifully for a balanced palette of flavor. So good that the sauce is not necessary, but their house sauce is very good....

Legacy Acrobatics

Gymnastics center

👍👍 Love Legacy Acrobatics! Alexa has the patience of a saint! She’s amazing with kids of all ages! My ONLY complaint is there are not enough boy classes! So, come on parents/grandparents, we all know our boys love to do flips so why not have them taught to do them safely, so there’s less chance of t...

LEGACY STRONGHOLD | Muay Thai & Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu BJJ, Mississauga

Martial arts club

House of Champions Kickboxing and Fitness

Kickboxing school

👍👍 I love the gym because it gets me in shape and I’m learning how to kick and punch better and stronger. I go there together with my dad and my friends. I can’t wait for my classes every day. And coach Alin is the greatest!

9Round Fitness

Gym

👍👍 I have gone to 9Round for 5 years now. I have never felt so energized, welcomed and motivated at a gym in my life. What I love so much about it is that it doesn't matter what level of fitness you are at; you go at your own pace that you are comfortable with. I raved about it so much, I convinced my...

Chic Peas Veg

Vegan restaurant

👍👍 10/10 place. It was my first time having Ethiopian food and it did not disappointment. It's the only Ethiopian place uptown. Vegan food with flavour that packs a punch. The injera was soft and spongy. Ordered the sampler platter and it is restaurant quality (maybe even better). There were 4 types of...

OMJ FITNESS

Physical fitness program

👍👍 Johnny's signature classes are now a part of my weekly ritual. He is extremely attentive, even with a fuller class, to ensure that you have each move correct and modify if needed. His classes are categorised by Cardio, Strength and Wellness, so there's truly a class for whatever mood you're in. If y...

The Ayrshire House

Inn

👍👍 I don’t even know where to begin with how impressed we were with our stay at The Ayrshire House!

While googling places to stay we came across The Ayrshire House and I was...

Kardia

👍👍 Easily the best located studio for fitness in Toronto. Right on the waterfront, you can do spin/cycling or Yoga outdoor and literally look out at the Toronto waterfront when classes are held outside. Its a beautiful experience sitting outside and looking over at the water. Kardia has an excellent...

Point Blank Martial Arts and Fitness

Martial arts school
