The Northwood Club: Opinions
Fantastic experience: The Northwood Club is a sophisticated and intimate gem of a health club in Collingwood/Blue Mountain - one of the three most popular resort areas in Canada. I feel comfortable there. Everyone - the owners, the staff, the trainers, the fellow members -all friendly and helpful. The equipment is top-of-the line, and includes a dozen brand new Atlantis workout machines. Upscale decor including oil paintings of countryside and waterfalls round out the picture.
Fantastic experience: Hi Peter, I wanted to take a moment to thank you and your team for creating such a welcoming and motivating environment. I have primarily been attending the morning bootcamps - I've really enjoyed the energy of the group and the incredible instructors. The Northwood Club has made a meaningful difference to both my mental and physical well-being. I'm so grateful for the care, energy, and community your team brings. Thank you!!
Fantastic experience: Where do I even begin… Pete and Luke, the owners, have built a phenomenal product here in Collingwood. Whether you are looking to do your own thing, take a load off yourself and check into guided instructed class, or get more granular with your fitness and undergo personal coaching from the great staff- they truly have full 360 coverage to help you to hit your goals. The “feel” is what’s really special. Everyone, including the members, are welcoming, friendly and supportive. No matter where you are in your fitness journey this place has people from all walks. It’s clean, well-maintained, and has attentive representatives to help with whatever you need. They have general gym equipment as well as really nuanced state of the art gear which is great if you are up for hitting muscles you forgot you had. Oh and my personal favorite - the sauna of course.

Fantastic experience: Recovering from long haul covid. I just had my 6 month check up with my neurologist and he was thrilled with my progress in recovery. I have to give credit to the club for walking along side of me. From the most friendly greeter Emma, to my trainer Carley; that is my biggest cheerleader, to the instructors in the group classes . Highly recommend the club to anyone looking for a judgement free place!

We are so happy to hear of your progress and will continue bringing the best instructors and class formats as well as personal trainers to the club.

Fantastic experience: I recently redeemed my free month voucher at Northwoods. I thought the customer service, cleanliness and fitness class instructors were 10/10. If I wasn't participating in so many different outdoor activities this summer, I would definitely consider a membership at this club.
Hello Kerri,
We're glad you enjoyed your complimentary month that you received from the Purse Project charity event here in Collingwood. We appreciate you taking the time to offer this great review of the club and our instructors and will definitely pass this along to our team.

Hi Leonora,
Both Luke and I would like to thank you so much for the 5 Star review and for sharing your experience with us. We will continue to improve upon our services and offerings to always make this the best part of your day!
Fantastic experience: This gym has truly been an amazing experience! I've been a member for over a year, and while it’s bittersweet to be moving out of the country, I would continue here if I could. The classes were definitely the highlight for me—Anita, Lindsey, and Melody are incredible instructors, and I’m a huge fan of their sessions. The gym itself is always spotless and fully equipped, so you'll always find exactly what you need.
Hello Gretel,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us. We will be sure to pass along your kind words of praise to all our staff!

Hi Sarah,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience while with us. We appreciate the 5 Star review and look forward to making your experience the best part of your day.
Fantastic experience: We’ve been coming to our local boutique gym for 7 years, and the friendly and knowledgeable staff and trainers make each visit a pleasure. Modern, up to date equipment including free weights, machines, treadmills, etc puts the Northwood Club above any gym experience we’ve had in our 40 years of training.This starts with the great ownership of Luke and Peter.
Hello Leslie,
Apologies for the delayed response.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us and for the 5 Star review! Both Luke and I will continue hard at improving our offerings and your experience to make it the best part of your day.
Fantastic experience: Best fitness facility, overall in Collingwood. Great members, trainers, staff and equipment. Classy crowd. Great vibe.
Hello Team JB,

Hi Craig,
Thank you for taking the time to write this review sharing your experiecnce with us and giving us 5 Stars!
Fantastic experience: Super clean, slick, chic gym with amazing equipment, staff, and a killer sauna.
Hello Natalie,
Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with us and for the 5 Star rating! Glad your enjoying the sauna and equipment and know we will continue working hard at earning your business.
Fantastic experience: I’ve recently centred my weekdays around Hurontario Street, and The Northwood Club is the beloved nucleus of this. A desk at the Collingwood Foundry, great restaurants and regular workouts at Collingwoods most civilized gym make for productive/pleasant days.
Hello Tom,
Thank you so much for the 5 Star review and for sharing your experience with us when at the club. Both Luke and I are very appreciative of your taking the time to do this and want you to know we will continue working hard at making your time here the best part of your day!
Fantastic experience: I've been to a LOT of gyms and The Northwood has really blown me away. Not just because it has fantastic classes (although it does - from Pilates to yoga to strength) and not only because it has great personal trainers (shout out to Carley who has tailored work outs around my multiple injuries and is a true rockstar) but more importantly because of how welcoming they are here to me, and to truly everyone I see come through the door. Emma at the front desk has such a friendly and warm attitude, and is always so helpful. This is a gym where you will be accepted for who you are, they are LGBTQ+ supportive, respectful of all body types, and absolutely 50+ friendly. Pricing is fair in my opinion for what you get with this gym and with a family membership, it's not that different from other gyms in town.
Hello Sharon,
Thank you so much for leaving us a 5 Star review and for sharing your experience with us and of course Carley...we will be sure to pass this along to her as well. Both Luke and I appreciate hearing from our members and want you to know we will continue working hard at making your time here with us the best part of your day!
Fantastic experience: This is a great gym - the equipment is in very good repair - the environment is not only beautiful but well maintained- the classes are varied and at different times ! Great location downtown collingwood - very warm and friendly staff- the extras are really great such as towel service, coat storage upon entry, the front lounge, the products in the showers - All this place is missing is a front smoothie bar !
Hello and thank you for the 5 Star Review! Both Luke and I work hard to continually improve upon the club and our offerings and love to hear from our members. We are looking into some different options with respect to serving smoothies and will keep our members updated once we figure this out.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member at TNC for almost 8 years and from day 1, everything about this gym has been exceptional. From the outstanding staff, incredible equipment, and welcoming and friendly environment, this gym is a community that is second to none. Highly, highly recommended!!!
Hi Bill,
Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with us. Both Luke and I appreciate you and look forward to being part of your fitness journey in years to come!

Fantastic experience: This is the BEST gym in Collingwood!! I have been a member for 11 years. Peter, Luke & all of their trainers are professional & inspiring. Their group fitness classes are great with total body workouts and yoga. Add in their brand new spin bikes and you can’t get any better than that! Thank you
Hi Pat, Both Luke and I would like to thank you for taking the time out of your day to share your experience with us and giving us a 5 Star Review. As you know we have been working hard at improving our Group Fitness offerings and will continue doing so with Melissa at the helm!
Fantastic experience: Love the Northwood! I joined 9 years ago when I moved to Collingwood and would never consider going any where else! The staff are great, always a warm greeting when I arrive and helpful with any questions that I ask. Thanks to Northwood I have many friends and we all enjoy our daily workouts together!
Hi Linda,
Both Luke and I would like to thank you for the 5 Star Review and for sharing your experience since being a member. We will continue to work hard at making your time with us the best part of your day!
Fantastic experience: Best gym. Clean. Nice people. Good location
Hi Kristen,Thanks for the 5 Star Review and for sharing your experience with us :)
Fantastic experience: This is a gym of great equipment in excellent condition. Every part of the gym is clean and organized. The staff knows your name. Getting a welcome hello by name from Emma shows the professional attitude they are achieving at this club.
Hello Meg, Thank you for taking the time to give us 5 Stars and for sharing your experience with us! Emma is aware of your kind words as well!
Fantastic experience: I joined The Northwood Club after being idle for the last few years due to ongoing medical issues. This is by far the best decision I have made! Everything from being greeted at the door, to the upbeat, friendly atmosphere, makes for such a welcoming and nonjudgmental environment. Luke set me up with Carley as my personal trainer, and to say he chose well, would be an understatement! Carley is not only organized, flexible and professional, but she knows her stuff and how to keep me focused, while having fun. When I initially started, I had a difficult time going up and down stairs. After a few weeks, I’m so happy to say that I no longer need the assistance of a handrail. This is a huge win for me. I’m looking forward to more sessions with Carley, and so far my expectations have definitely been exceeded.
Hello Lee-Anne, Both Luke, Carley and I would like to thank you for such a great review of your experience and for giving us 5 Stars! We look forward to our continued journey together!
Fantastic experience: Best gym. Clean. Nice people. Good location
Hi Kristen, Thanks for the 5 Star Review and for sharing your experience with us :)
Fantastic experience: I have been a member of the Northwood Club off and on since the Club came to town .Peter Stevens and now VP Luke McMillan have put the complete package together. From morning to night there are excellent group classes to choose from , led by talented and very specialized instructors .If classes aren’t your thing, the gym equipment is state of the art , well maintained and very clean . Most importantly the vibe and atmosphere at Northwoods is casual and welcoming. There is always a “hello” or a “good morning” if not from the front desk staff from one of the experienced trainers . Congratulations on all your innovative work to provide our community with such a gem . Next time you walk by , pop in and see for yourself !
Hi Annie, On behalf of Luke and I and all our team here at TNC we thank you for the 5 Star Review and for sharing your experience with us. We will continue to add and improve upon our class offerings with Melissa running our department now :)
Fantastic experience: Great Staff Great Trainers Great Equipment
Hello Jason,Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for giving us a 5 Star review.

Hi Danielle,Both Luke and I would like to thank Steven and you for taking the time to share your experience with us at the club. We wish you both continued success on your fitness journey.
Fantastic experience: The Northwood Club is a fantastic gym in town. I’ve been a member here for almost 8 years and I can say that the owners Luke and Peter are always striving by to make your experience a better one. The facility has state of the art equipment, very knowledgeable trainers and staff, and top notch change rooms.. and towel service to boot! Trainers and staff around the gym are very friendly, approachable, and willing to answer any questions you may have. The members of the gym are also fantastic. I’ve made many friends here over the years. If you’re looking for a spot I’d highly recommend popping in and checking the gym out for yourself!
Hello Mike,Both Luke and I would like to thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us and for giving us a 5 Star rating! We will continue to improve upon our service and offerings with the hopes of always making your time with us the best part of your day!

Hi Anna,Both Luke and I would like to thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us and for giving us a 5 Star review!
Fantastic experience: My partner and I have been going to The Northwood club for almost a full year now and cannot recommend it enough. They've consistently invested in improving equipment, the environment is just unmatched, their staff are some of the most knowledgable fitness professionals I've had the pleasure of meeting, and the member community is extremely friendly. Amenities are top notch (the sauna ACTUALLY works 99% of the time which is not the case for most gyms), and equipment is top-of-the-line. Owners have been nothing but friendly, easy to work with, and understanding. Can't recommend them enough!
Hi Artie,Both Luke and I would like to thank Reese and you for sharing your experience with us at The Northwood Club and for giving us a 5 Star review. We appreciate the recognition for our efforts and investments back into the club!
Fantastic experience: I wanted to share how happy I am to be a member of The Northwood Club. Since my husband and I joined the club we have been impressed with many features. First of all, everyday we attend Emma greets you with a smile and a welcome at the front door. It is that personal touch that makes you feel part of the community. Secondly, our personal trainer, Adam Harrington, has been terrific. We get our specific needs met with his outlining of exercises and thoughtfulness in our program. Thirdly, the classes. Each one that we have attended has been well worth the effort of getting there! Such a wide variety, good timing, great equipment and very clean facilities. Fourth, Peter calls, connects you with their website, takes the time to make sure he is getting the information correctly, he is top notch. Finally, it has been such a pleasure going to this club. I would recommend it to you. Come give it a try.
Hi Deb,Both Luke and I are so gateful for the 5 Star review and for you taking the time out of your busy day to share your experience with us...and what a great testimonial for Adam as well!
Fantastic experience: From the moment I step inside and am welcomed by genuine smiles and a feeling like I'm a part of the team. The club is clean, easy to navigate, not crowded, all of the equipment is high end and working perfectly. I have thoroughly enjoyed every group class I've attended. Thank you Luke, Josh, Chris, Emma, Lindsay, Melody, Cathy, Adele and Jill...you have made The Northwood Club a lifestyle. Johan
Hi Johan,On behalf of myself, Luke and our entire team I'd like to thank you for taking the time to write this amazing review and for giving us a 5 Star review!
Fantastic experience: Joining a gym is easy. Going regularly is hard. Like many people, I’ve belonged to a number of them over the years. The ones I’ve actually gone to regularly have common elements. They’re inviting, really well equipped, clean, and have an inspiring vibe. The Northwood is all this plus multiple classes are available and included in your membership. My wife and I have been working with Adam, a personal trainer who is getting us on track to better overall fitness. He’s organized, flexible and professional. We’re feeling the results. I’m happy we joined Northwood. It’s a gym I want to go to, not one I feel have to go to because I’m paying for it.
Hi Derek,Thanks so much for taking the time to write this amazing review and testimonial. Both Luke and I are committed to making your time with us the best part of your day bar none!Thanks for the 5 Star review!
Fantastic experience: I joined Northwood Gym after not working out in a gym for many years. My husband convinced me that the gym had a really good atmosphere and everyone was really friendly. It had been a while since working out in a facility so I decided to get a personal training package and was placed with Adam. It has surpassed my expectations and helped me to feel very confident and now work towards my goals on my own. I’ve seen great results and plan to get personal training long the way to continue to help me with form and progress in those times where I feel like I may be in a plateau. I can’t recommend Adam enough. He is very helpful, tailored my workouts when I had an injury and got me back on track. I have been converted :) I now look forward to going to the gym and don’t want to miss a workout! The friendly and supportive atmosphere is the best!
Hello Chantal,Both Luke and I would like to thank you for taking the time to share your experience here at The Northwood Club and for giving us a 5 Star review. Its so nice to hear success stories like yours!
Fantastic experience: Best gym in town! Always ultra clean, which is most appreciated, and the equipment is stellar and essentially all brand new. Love the sauna, and yoga instructors Maegen and Emmie are the tops. Highly recommend.
Hello Navin,Both Luke and I would like to thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and experience here with us at The Northwood Club. We continue to work hard at making the time spent in the club the best part of your day!
Fantastic experience: An amazing experience from the moment I walked through the doors. The young lady at the front desk was very pleasant and accommodating. The gym is immaculate and the environment is cozy. There is no waiting in line for weights. I will definitely go back if I am ever in the Collingwood area. Thank you for making my weekend in Blue Mountain memorable.

Hello Josh,Apologies for the delayed response. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience while you were visiting from Australia. So nice to hear and see we can please people from the other side of the globe!
Fantastic experience: Kudos to Peter and his staff at Northwood for creating an amazing experience for all it's members. Beautifully decorated, always clean, great variety of equipment including the new cardio equipment which takes you to different parts of the world while you work out. Best of all, from the moment you sign in and walk through the gym to get to class upstairs, the staff makes me feel welcome by looking me in the eye and greeting me in a genuine way. Can't wait to return next summer.
Hello Alicia,Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review and sharing your experience with us at the club.Both Luke and I look forward to seeing you again this coming summer.
Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of being a member at the Northwood Club in Collingwood, and it truly exceeded my expectations. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the spotless, inviting atmosphere. The staff are incredibly friendly, always ready to assist and create a welcoming environment. One of the highlights of my time at the Northwood Club was my personal trainer, Chris Myers. Chris is not only knowledgeable but also exceptionally attentive and motivating. His personalized approach made each workout both effective and enjoyable. Regrettably, the only drawback for me was the location, as it proved to be quite far from my home. Despite this, I highly recommend the Northwood Club to anyone in the Collingwood area looking for a top-notch gym experience. It's a gem that offers a clean, friendly, and motivating fitness haven.
Hello Victoria,Both Luke and I would like to thank you for taking the time to write such an awesome review of the club as well as your experience training with Chris. He truly is an awesome trainer and works hard at helping all his clients achieve their goals.Both Luke and I look forward to our paths crossing again one day in future.
Fantastic experience: I've been a member at the Northwood Club for 4 months now, and it's been a fantastic experience. The facility is impeccably clean, staff are welcoming, and the owners are genuinely invested in your success. The included classes provide just the right challenge. Highly recommended!
Hello Teresa,Thank you so much for taking the time to provide this review and for sharing your experience with us. We will continue working hard at making your time with us the best part of your day!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been wanting to join this club for a little while now but just hadn’t taken the time to do so. I recently joined and I wish I had joined sooner! I’ve always been active and into fitness but this club Is so lovely. Tons of equipment - which allows for quick access. The classes are also great, super warm and welcoming. Finally, the staff as a whole are very friendly and welcoming. So grateful to be a part of such a wonderful fitness club.
Hello Sarah,Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us. We truly appreciate your feedback and will continue to work hard at not only meeting your expectations but surpassing them!Peter & Luke
Fantastic experience: I’m a recent member at the Northwood Club and have to give a big shout-out about how pleased I am with my decision to join. I’m impressed by every aspect of the experience, from on-boarding, to the quality of equipment, lack of crowding, commitment to cleaning and particularly the quality and number of well led classes – free access to them makes for a great value equation. The Club's app and protocols make bookings painlessly simple. It's all very professional. I’m happy to say the same about my paid personal training experience with Anton. He has crafted a program targeting exactly what I wanted to work on (agility, strength and endurance for mountain skiing), and takes me through it with an easy going balance of push, encouragement and technical guidance on safety and form how’s & why’s. I’d happily recommend him to anyone. And every visit is greeted by a warm smile and a warm towel at the front desk – it all makes it easy to be comfortable with my investment in a better winter.
Hello John,Both Luke and I would like to thank you again for the amazing 5 Star Review!This is truly motivating for us to hear and will continue pushing us to better ourselves and the experience our members have when here with us!Thank you again and we look forward to a long and wonderful relationship. Peter & Luke
Negative experience: I had such high hopes for this place because it looked awesome online. As a fitness professional, my partner and I often visit different facilities as a way to cross promote different gyms in different areas and to recommend to our clients and followers. Unfortunately, I base the majority of my experience on first impression and it wasn’t as we had hoped. We took our pre-workout as we normally would assuming we’d be able to workout within 15minutes. The process of trying to get a day pass at the front desk was a nightmare and took 30minutes alone. I was asked to fill out my form more than 4 times because it wasn’t saving for reason and there were no paper forms available either. We were left at the mercy of technical difficulties. The lady at the front desk wasn’t too welcoming and didn’t seem to have any sense of urgency which made the whole process an unpleasant experience. Didn’t feel comfortable or welcome. Wasn’t shown where to go upon arrival and overall, not the great first impression that we were hoping for. This place has a ton of potential but could definitely work on efficiency and hiring kinder staff.
Hello Erin,Hope this message finds you well.We are very sorry to hear of this negative experience and would love the opportunity to right this wrong.Just left a voicemail for you to call me anytime to discuss your experience with us. As a business model we strive to learn and grow from member feedback so I would appreciate a few minutes of your time in order to better help us serve you and our community better in future.Looking forward to speaking with you soon.
Fantastic experience: Honestly I can't share enough good things about this club. I've been a member for about a year now and would never think of leaving. The staff is always welcoming, smiling, approachable, and friendly. The equipment is the best in the industry, making my workouts safe and effective. The classes I've attended have been fun, interactive, and perfect for what I was looking for. I have enjoyed using the sauna for recovery, and at times have worked in the lounge area for a change in environment. The best part is that it never feels overcrowded, I can always access the equipment I need to complete my workout. The atmosphere/environment/design is beautiful - it makes going to the gym a pleasurable experience. With all of these factors combined, I've been able to make the most progress in my fitness journey since having joined the Northwood Club. It is incredibly important to have a gym that you actually enjoy going to and this club is it. Highly recommend anyone thinking of joining to jump in and just do it - you won't regret it.
Hello Dr. Lakhani,Both Luke and I would like to thank you for taking the time to share your experience here at The Northwood Club. We work hard (and will continue to do so) at providing a great environment to achieve and maintain your fitness goals and overall experience when your here with us!Peter & Luke
Fantastic experience: Amazingly beautiful, incredible equipment, and a very friendly and helpful staff, even if I wasn't a client!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of the Northwood Club since 2013 and absolutely love the facility and the staff. All the staff are friendly and welcoming, the place is kept immaculately clean and I enjoy my time there immensely. I had a total knee replacement last year and worked with Wendy Van Eck as my personal trainer from 6 weeks post operatively. She worked hand in hand with my physio and tailored my weekly personal training sessions to my individual needs and text me a weekly program to then complete on my own. She has also helped me with my diet and kept me totally sane and motivated throughout the ups and downs of my rehabilitation process. I cannot thank Wendy and all the club staff enough for all their support and encouragement not only over the past year but throughout the years I have been a member.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member for two years and have nothing but good things to say about the NorthWood Club. The Club has the most experienced and highly knowledgeable trainers that show a genuine interest in your fitness goals. The facility is always kept clean and the gym equipment is top of the line. As a member I felt respected, valued and appreciated. Thank you to the kind staff and owners, Peter & Luke, for making my experience at NorthWood a memorable one. I am sad to be leaving the friendships and connections I’ve made over the last two years, but am grateful NorthWood gave me the opportunity to meet such wonderful people.
Hi Robert,My apologies for the delayed response as I've been away the last four months recovering from an accident. Luke and I thank you for taking the time to share your experience and of course for the 5 Star Review!Wishing you all the best with your current fitness goals in your new location and if you ever find yourself back in Collingwood we'd love the opportunity to earn your business again.
Fantastic experience: The Northwoods club is a first class fitness facility. I’ve trained in many gyms in many places… this gym is simply exemplary in every aspect. Management, staff and the personal trainers are top notch. The facility has all the latest equipment and is always impeccably clean. Great staff, great people and a truly wonderful facility. What more can one ask for when trying to find the perfect training facility. A-one in my books!!!!
Hello Ron,My apologies for the delayed response... I'm not sure how I missed your message from way back.Both Luke and I work hard to make every members experience when with us the best part of their day.We hope to exceed your expectations in the coming months and years!Peter & Luke
Fantastic experience: 5 Star Club for sure! This starts right from the staff that greets you at the entrance & the Instructors/PT's at Northwood are TOP NOTCH professionals. I am super impressed with ALL of the classes I have been attending. The cleanliness of the facility, the music & the positive vibes are very appreciated. Well done Northwood Club, I highly recommend!

It's so rewarding for us to hear how much our members enjoy coming to the club and experiencing such positive results.We will continue working hard to earn your business and look forward to a continued relationship for years to come!
Fantastic experience: I joined the Northwood Club for a short stint while on a work assignment. The staff are kind and friendly, the gym is super clean and had all the reasonable health protocols during Covid and beyond. The facility is efficient. It has all the weights, cardio machines and cages/benches you'll need. Plus, lots of great classes Yoga and spin and etc. Further the members are welcoming and present no ego, which is refreshing. Quick call out to the PT, Josh. He knows his stuff, he is an expert and he will assist you with achieving your health goals. I will definitely rejoin the club if I return to the area. Remember good quality services cost a bit more, and in this case, it was worth it.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member since July 2021 and work with Tony, one of their personal trainers. The club has proven to be everything that Peter and Luke said it would be for me when I did my initial orientation. Professional, clean, and the staff are knowledgeable. From the top down, Peter and Luke have built a wonderful team of pros, dedicated to assisting me with my overall wellness goals. Thanks to the team at Northwood!

Fantastic experience: I am writing this on a very chilly afternoon in January in support of Peter Stevens and Luke McMillan, owners of The Northwood Club in downtown Collingwood, a few years ago, when Jane and I were walking down our Main Street and we paused in front of The Northwood Club. Jane tells me that she had decided to check it out. Lo and Behold, we both went in and signed up. I was 78 and weighed about 215lbs, a tad overweight with a bit of a Beer Gut. But, riding my bike, playing tennis, skiing, I thought I was in reasonable shape. I went full bore and added a trainer, now almost seven years later, I am down 35 pounds and my waist has miraculously shrunk 5 inches. I can now fit into old pants and more importantly, I still drink beer. I have become a bit of a Pundit for fitness, especially among men of my vintage. No question in my mind that my Northwood membership has added to my life expectancy. It would be even better if Canada Revenue allowed us to claim our Gym costs on our Income Tax. Ron Emo Collingwood Mayor (1980...88)
Thank you for the wonderful review Ron.Both Luke and I are so incredibly happy and grateful to see and hear testimonials like yours...it truly is why we chose this industry to make careers in.We wish you a long and healthy life with continued success along your fitness journey.
Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality
Fantastic experience: I'm 71 years old and have belonged to numerous gyms within the GTA and, find that Northwood is by far the best. The trainers are excellent, the equipment updated, it's spotlessly clean. But most of all I feel that they as a group they care about my fitness and provide input when they see me doing things that they think I can improve on. I highly recommend The Northwood Club.
Hi Lee,Thank you for the 5 star review!There is a saying Luke likes to use a lot and this IS how we feel:In life "People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care."Thank you for letting us be a part of your every day life and we look forward to a long and healthy continued relationship.
Fantastic experience: It is a 2-story facility, which has a history. It was once the Shoppers Drug Mart. The owners are from Toronto and previous owners of a club in Toronto. It is a beautiful club, and it is not too big. The upper level has an almost private feel to it, as well as a room where classes are offered. New equipment, and the gym also offers classes. Covid-19 protocols, everyone is to take a temperature reading upon entering and complete a covid screening form. The staff is great and are also professionals.
Hello,Thank you so much for the 5 Star review.We continue to work hard each day at providing the best equipment and amenities in a safe, clean and beautiful environment.
Fantastic experience: Clean facility and great hours in comparison to other gyms in town. Only thing that can be sometimes frustrating is the sign-in process, as you may encounter long wait times to check in.
Fantastic experience: Great facilities, knowledgeable and courteous staff. Honestly there's no reason to even think about any other gym in Collingwood
Thanks for taking the time out of your busy day to write such a great review. We look forward to earning your business in the coming months.
Fantastic experience: Great equiptment and very helpful staff!
Hello Tyler,Thank you for the 5 Star rating and review.We are constantly updating and upgrading things and this week we are excited to take delivery of an entire new lineup of Atlantis strength equipment as well as a new set of dumbbells from Watson equipment. We know you'll love working out with this great equipment.We look forward to working hard at earning your business now and in future.
Fantastic experience: Great gym. Very clean. Equipment is well maintained with a large variety of free weights. Memberships are relatively expensive in comparison to other gyms, however none of the other gyms in the area can compare to the Northwood club. I'm speaking from experience as I recently cancelled my membership and renewed it within a week after trying every other gym in the area with the intention of saving some money only to find out that there really is no competition. To compare the Northwood club to the YMCA or Anytime fitness doesn't seem right, doing so feels almost like I'm picking on a handicapped quadriplegic for not being good at running.
Thanks for the 5 Star review Michael.
Fantastic experience: Great selection of classes and has all the equipment you'll need for a quality workout. Helpful and knowledgeable staff as well.
Fantastic experience: Great clean boutique facility, best in Collingwood area by far!
Happy to hear you enjoyed your time with us. We look forward to earning your business again next time your in need of a facility in Collingwood.
Fantastic experience: Love the atmosphere and appreciate all the different spaces, depending on your goals!
Hi Larisa,Thank you for the 5 star review. Happy to hear you've been enjoying your time at the club and most of all meeting your fitness goals!
Fantastic experience: For March and April I had a Groupon for the club and it was amazing. The classes were really well run, the teachers were fantastic, and they also had a complimentary consultation with a Personal Trainer, which was amazing (Luke). I would go back and work with their personal trainers for sure.

Fantastic experience: As a long time member of the NWC, their commitment to their mission and attention to detail sets them apart as Collingwood's premier fitness club. The club consistently upgrades their equipment and maintains their facilities well. The welcoming vibe, modern decor and new addition of a coffee station don't go unnoticed. Working with Josh has been fantastic. As an expert he's knowledgeable, encouraging, and has helped me reach my fitness goals over the long term.
