I'm not a member of the Fitness Connection anymore. It's relatively inexpensive, but you get what you pay for. The cardio. machines and weight equipment are older. Some of the water fountains weren't working for a long time. Paint was still peeling from the ceiling of the mens' showers area on my last day. When I worked out, I noticed that the gym wasn't as busy as it used to be, with anywhere from myself to approximately half a dozen members. This gym doesn't allow a grace period, not even a minute or two, to gather belongings and/or get changed after its closing time. GoodLife Fitness, LA Fitness, and other reputable establishments offer grace periods. One evening, Jorge, who oversees the front reception staff, turned the music and televisions off early and shortly afterwards he turned the lights off. At the time, I was in the locker room and another member was on the gym floor. It was an unsafe situation. This member got upset and I heard Jorge having words with him. Later, I mentioned that it wasn't right to turn off the lights. I spoke to the President / G.M. Jimmy about this and another issue, but he supports his staff and he made a strange, unrelated comment about knowing cops.

I usually don't write reviews because time is money! I have been Fitness Connection member for over 2 months now and I Absolutely love this gym. Here are some of the reasons why: 1. It's great to walk into this gym after work and it's not packed. 2. Staff members are very helpful and they greet you as soon as you enter the gym (isn't that the sweetest!) 3. There is plenty of equipment and the gym is always very clean. 4. There are many different classes running throughout the week. 5. The trainers are amazing and they always make adjustments to workouts to accomodate every person. They really care about your form and technique. 6. Every class is new and fresh which keeps things exciting - it makes me want to go to the gym everyday! S/O Joanne, Tony, Linval, Aida, Mark 7. There is also physiotherapist, Mark on site and he is phenomenal. 8. The classes feel like a little community, Infact the gym feels like a little community. 9. There is lot of sunlight in the gym which is excellent. 10. Clients and staff are very supportive and friendly.

I'm giving it a 4 stars because I like the atmosphere and staff and have never had to wait on any machine / bench / weights. Great local gym. The price is... competitive let's say. 85% of the free weight equipment is in ok to good condition. The gym is kept clean (there's always someone cleaning something). They've got squatting racks, a lifting platform, a bunch of free weights and enough space. I've yet to have to wait on a machine. There's a bigger cross fit area which is great. The machines are mostly in good condition. The elliptical machines needs to all be changed. There are a bunch of classes available. The change rooms are well maintained but the floors need to be redone. They're clean but don't look it. The dry sauna is a disaster. Slowly machines need to be upgraded and it'll be a 5 star review, but overall, happy with it.

  • Ronald Kluger

The second reopening of the gym during the pandemic in 2022 is in place. Major renovations happened just before the pandemic and it's nice to see everything in place, including new machines. It's not been crowded and the equipment is readily available and very modern. I wonder why there are big televisions with no sound facing the weight machines. The screens on the cardio equipment have lost their connection to live TV (and there were only two stations) that used to be there. The place is five stars for the strength training equipment and cleanliness and 3* for the cardio because the equipment is still not completely set up. It's a fine place for exercise. There are no squash courts, swimming pools, or basketball courts, if that's what you want.

  • Melissa Castronovo

I've been a member at many gyms...and Fitness Connection is by far my favorite. The gym is always clean...the equipment is great and well maintained...the staff is helpful...and the trainers are so knowledgeable and are always challenging you. The members are so friendly...which also makes this place great...there will always be someone there to challenge you, spot you, or just have a friendly chat with. I would definitely recommend this gym. Also...the bootcamp classes are amazing...every class is different with a good balance of cardio and strength training. Great location, amazing staff and members, all the equipment you need and challenging classes when you feel like a group workout...everything you need!!

  • amir bolouri

FRAUD..FRAUD...FRAUD...Avoid this poor family business with hidden name of gym and particularly avoid to giving them your credit card information. I cancelled my gym in 2016 (BCS OF POOR SERVICES AND FACILITIES)and they started charging me couple months later without any notice or reason. After some phone calls and emails no one answer until I contacted their manager MIKE MAK who is totally rude and unprofessional and said, we need to run our business!! .Instead of returning my money I noticed, they charged me for one more months bcs lack of notice. Now I escalate the case to small claim court bcs of their misconduct and theft.

  • Rob K

The attendant cares more about her phone and the conversation on her phone than customers. She can't figure out pricing nor is she trying to be helpful. She talks down to you, gives 5 different prices, and can't figure it out so she goes back to her phone? Wasted my time and patience and then she is perplexed as to why I delevop a tone? Are you kidding me? You're here to do a job, not for fun times on your phone. If you don't like serving people, or find your personal conversations to be that important, you should stay home from work... Or just don't bother getting a job

  • Nikki Kindos

My favourite gym in Toronto! The owner is amazing, so kind, responsive and professional. He is involved often in the day to day and any questions I have he is supportive. The staff at the gym are kind as well. The gym looks beautiful, the renovations they have done make the gym look so modern and new, the equipment is high end too (Technogym)! The best part, it is not packed like other gyms, even when it is busy there is always a spot to workout. They are also always adding new classes, and the sauna is amazing. Overall, I love FC!

  • Zohreh Etminani

Skilled scammers! Please do not believe what their workers, such as David, tell you and don't sign their contract without reading it first! You are lured and rushed into signing a contract without having a chance to read it. I was not told that I could not cancel personal training sessions when I was lured into signing their contract without reading it. Later on, when I sent two emails to cancel the training sessions and received no reply, I read the contract and noticed how I was scammed!

  • Paolo Roncali

Love this place. AMAZING equipment. Please don't change a thing. Techno gym equipment that are plate loaded are the best. So much better than machines with cables or bands. The equipment is the reason I have a membership here. Keep up the great work and don't listen to anyone who says the equipment here is old. It's not. It's actually the best. This place is great for proper fitness enthusiasts but could be a bit intimidating for the more casual yoga mom.

  • Natalie Chiu

Fitness Connection is the best! The facilities are clean and spacious and there's a wide variety of equipment to use. The bootcamp programs are amazing. The trainers are extremely knowledgeable and they really care about your form and technique. Every class is always new and fresh which keeps things exciting. You can enjoy a workout without feeling self-conscious - the staff and clientele are always friendly and supportive. Definitely recommend this gym!

  • Adam 212652

Total whacko running this joint. He poorly explained membership options to me so I asked if I could see the different options written out. He grunted his disappointment asked me why, then eventually gave me a binder. I asked him about the cancellation process because of all the reviewers here that have been scammed. At that point he accused me of being a reporter. If this is how he handles prospective customers imagine how he handles actual customers?

  • 方言

Bad sales consultant, today afternoon(oct 29) i went to this gym to ask price. A white middle-age consultant gave me 35.99per month (can not cancel contact) 0r 59.99per month(free cancel). I told him LA fitness price(99Initiation fee +34.99 per month), he said he can give same offer to me (Is he a fool) and only for today only for today. and then i said i go home think about it, he said you should go fit 4 less, there is cheap, it's good for you

  • Yasin p

Decent gym with old equipment. All the free weights stuff is really dated and old. They do have a Nice area for bootcamp style fitness (big tires etc). The price REALLY isn't competitive for what you get compared to other places. Also the staff and trainers aren't very friendly at all. I would recommend trying a few other places before joining here. Heard some horror stories while there also about billing issues etc. Either way. Cheers!!

  • Chad Koziel

Solid gym. Not overly crowded when I go, 7pm - 11pm weekdays, all over on weekends. No pressure sales. When I interact with staff (rarely) they're professional.Turf area upstairs with sleds and other equipment is a plus. Power racks and lifting platform are seldom used; this is one of the very few gyms that even has a lifting platform. They allow chalk, also rare. Can't speak to the cardio equipment or machines.

  • L. Rabbit

I have gone to Fitness Connection for years. When I finally quit because I moved, they continued to take payments out, despite 3 people being advised I was leaving and even after I returned my key. The manager refused to correct the mistake and return the funds owing. Be careful! There is no customer loyalty, or integrity - even when they acknowledge their errors. Not impressed!!!!!!

  • captain hyderabad

They don't have enough locations, price is high compared to other fitness centers, the sauna or steam room all the things they have hardly work the timings are not long enough there is a good life fitness not far away from this location its much better even has a squash and racquet club and is open 24/7 and the management at this location is all about the money not the clients

  • Maggie Zhao

We switched to this gym and we found it's a hidden gem! -Good location, inside of a plaza, lots of parking. -Newly renovated spa-like changing rooms; Equipments are new and always clean, they also offer small towels to wipe the equipments after use. -Not packed and noisy compared to our previous gym. Usually moderate traffic which is nice. -Staff and owner are super friendly!

  • Geoffrey Leung

It's a solid gym with pretty much all the machines and weight racks you might need. Not the newest and they play music too loud most of the time. Pricing is fair and they got a new cross training area that would be fun if I knew how to do it! Things are clean and well maintained. One complaint if the rubber grips on the dumbbells. Newer dumbbells would be nice.

  • Anasofia Heilbron

Really great gym and convenient location - the new renovations are a great additional and there’s so many machines available. If you have any questions, they recently hired a new sales manager, Alex who is very flexible and willing to help decide the best contract for your needs. It’s great to have a gym with people who want to support your fitness journey.

  • Phil Laurin

I've been a member for nearly a year. No complaints. Everything you need, power racks, lifting platform and turf upstairs. I have one major annoyence with this place. Dumbbells arent maintained by the staff. I've never seen them properly racked anytime of the day. You play a game of hide and go seek doing drop sets. Minus that the staff and gym is great.

  • Kristy Cassar

I train at the Don mills location. The specialized classes are a bonus for me, because the trainers are always giving you that extra push, help develop discipline so that when you’re doing your own workout you know your limits and can push yourself. Everyone there is very helpful and the gym isn’t crowded so you have access to the machines regularly.

  • Jamielynn Young

I participate in the group fitness classes and I LOVE them. The trainers are amazing at motivating you, monitoring your form and keeping the workouts exciting. The gym and equipment is always clean and they have everything you would ever need. Definitely the best classes I have ever been to and I would recommend my Fitness Connection to everyone!!

  • Cosmos 2003 Girls

Our 2003 girls rep team did a preseason fitness program at Fitness Connection and it was a fantastic experience. It was a well rounded program and the group was excited to come in every week. Great facility. Great team. We highly recommend the gym for team/group training and will certainly be back in the future. Thanks Mike and team!

  • Stuart Reynolds

I have been a member at Fitness Connection at Don Mills for 17 years now, and in that time the gym has been transformed with re-modelling and significant equipment upgrades. The staff members are friendly, the members are friendly, and I always enjoy going there. It’s good for the mind and soul as well as for the physical benefits.

  • Daryl Cohen

Have found the club to be well maintained, showers and work out areas extremely clean .Staff is friendly, but not over bearing. A great ratio between free weights and Machines, something for everyone. Lastly, the club has a family atmosphere, very comfortable surroundings . I recommend it favorably vs most clubs out there

  • Jonathan Ginou

I've really enjoyed the recent changes to the gym. Excellent equipment and a really friendly vibe. In December I started training a couple times a week with Mike and boy, what a difference. I feel great and look forward to "hitting the gym". Thank you Mike and everyone at Fitness Connection for a great experience.

  • Stacey Hilkowitz

FC Don Mills: conveniently located, free parking, great atmosphere, very clean and well kept, low key gym with sleek high quality machines, diverse group classes , trainers are enthusiastic, engaging and always there to help . Friendly staff and members are nice to one another .

  • Graham Farrell

I have been doing the FAST classes since the end of January and have lost 10 lbs. Not only that, but I actually enjoy going to the classes. Great workouts, great trainers, and a lot of fun with the other members. I actually look forward to going to the gym now.

  • Lauren Forsey

Fitness Connection has, by far, the most incredible fitness atmosphere. Staff & Trainers are AMAZING Community of individuals out to create healthy habits, train hard and meet people/friends of all ages and be treated with the most amount of respect

  • Joshua Bennet

Simply the worst gym I have ever experienced. The management of this gym kept charging my account after 4 repeated attempts on asking them to stop. They were slow in responding and do not appreciate their customers or need training on customer service skills.

  • Jacqueline Bryan

A clean, friendly and respectable fitness facility. I left LA fitness to come to FITNESS CONNECTION and what a difference in the atmosphere and cleanliness. Mike and his staff are super friendly and it’s evident they take pride in what they do. Thank you

  • M. Alexander

Excellent price, really good packages, equipment is in really good shape not cheap stuff. I love the boxing studio and the space of two levels.. never seems that crowded.. an amazing gym for someone who wants to do their own thing at their own pace

  • Jason Schwartz

recently moved into the area- wanted something clean, new and accessible w challenging classes and Adrian and Mike have delivered...I highly recommend this facility- ample parking too and not overpopulate like some of the other clubs in the area

  • Mick Yisma

Great place to work out, newly added equipment & renovated work out areas. Change rooms are in the process of being revitalized. Friendly Happy Staff. This is the Fitness Club that you have been looking for!

  • Jen Lee

They are racist. They do not want people of colour to join their gym, and are not afraid to make ignorant comments about it. I would avoid at all costs, there is no excuse for this disgusting behaviour.

  • Kevin Rose

Great gym, especially if you like a mini scavenger hunt to find the other dumbbell you're looking for...you get used to it though, and it almost becomes fun! Overall no complaints, enjoy coming here.

  • danwarrsimon@gmail.com Selbie

Wow so awesome here ! New trainer's and classes which are both really fun ! I love the music too!! Which is usually playing In the club ! Very friendly staff and clients all in all !! …

  • Claude Bourque

This place prior to COVID paid attention to cleanliness. With the reopening and major Reno this place is doing everything right. Thanks to Mike and the team for keeping us motivated and active.

  • James Shotton

To sign up for a gym membership you must go through a lengthy 1:1 sales pitch for personal training. If you sign up, they will not let you cancel without a fight. Avoid this place if you can.

  • Gill Clark

This gym is very convenient if you are taking the TTC and all the staff members are really nice. All the equipment and facilities are amazing. There are showers steam rooms and much more.

  • George Emil

The dumbbell racks need a sign on the mirrors saying to be courteous and to exercise a few feet from the racks allowing other members to looks for and get their dumbbells.
