Breaker Strength & CrossFit^®

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming here for over a year now, it’s totally changing my lifestyle ( in good way) . The coaches here are patient and professional, If you need a gym , it’s a place you have to try

Fantastic experience: Absolutely, top-notch coaching! The coaches are meticulous in correcting our form to ensure we perform each movement efficiently and effectively, reducing the chance of injury. I’ve been with Breaker for just over 3 months now, and I’ve learned so much. I’ve had to unlearn my poor form that I picked up from other CrossFit boxes!

Fantastic experience: Dropped in from out of town and had a fantastic 2 weeks! The programming was great, and the playlist gets you pumped! The community is friendly and super fun. Plenty of space and good equipment. All the coaches were welcoming, caring, and helpful. Huge shoutout to Genti, Darcy, Kate, Brandon, and Thom for supporting me every step of the way! Every single one of them is a master of their craft. They helped me with my form and challenged me in new ways. I felt like I became a better athlete with you. Thank you! Whether you're starting or a more elite athlete - this place has everything that you need to succeed. I highly recommend Breaker Strength!

Fantastic experience: can’t recommend Breaker Strength enough! The coaches here are incredible at pushing us towards our fitness goals while maintaining a supportive and encouraging atmosphere. They go above and beyond by organizing events and gatherings that foster a sense of community among members. Thanks to their dedication and guidance, I’ve not only improved my fitness but also embraced a healthier lifestyle. If you’re looking for a gym that truly cares about your progress and well-being, look no further than Breaker Strength!

Fantastic experience: This place is more than just a gym; all the coaches are extremely professional, skillful, and kind. I will always be grateful for the positivity and mental strength I gain here. A year ago, when I started, I couldn’t even do an empty barbell squat due to back issues and constant pain. Now, I can squat 235 lbs easily, which is a great improvement for me. The entire Breaker’s community is incredibly helpful and encouraging. Every day is fun and challenging. The overall environment is so great and comfortable that it feels like being home with family.

Fantastic experience: Great pricing for class-based workouts, led by knowledgeable, friendly trainers!

Fantastic experience: Ever since joining Breaker back in January 2023, they have welcomed me with open arms. The coaches are very professional, friendly and supportive. They provide motivational guidance every step of the way to push your limits. The location and gym are both fantastic. Highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: At Breaker I have found a gym I love going to and a community of coaches and fellow athletes that motivate and inspire me. I used to go through stops and starts working out at the gym on my own. I found it hard to get motivated and push myself. At Breaker, having a community of athletes that I see each day keeps me accountable and the class setting motivates me to work way harder than I would on my own. I have made a lot of gains in my first year at the gym and I am motivated to get even better! Highly, highly recommend this gym.

Fantastic experience: The most fun I've had going to the gym. I joined Breaker Strength a little over a year ago and this is probably the most consistent I've ever been when it comes to fitness. After my first couple of sessions, it was clear to me that this gym puts a lot of emphasis on safety and proper form. I keep coming back because the classes are engaging, fun, and the coaches are super helpful, professional, and great at what they do. The atmosphere is also great and everyone is super friendly.

Fantastic experience: Best fitness decision I have made. The coaches at Breaker Strength have helped me address the many weaknesses and injuries I’ve accumulated over the years. I thought I would need to be in shape to join, but their approach allowed me to improve my fitness while addressing my injuries at the same time.

Fantastic experience: I joined Breaker four months ago and have done over 50 classes. It’s great. I joined because I was looking to strength train. But I didn’t expect loving it this much. There are incredible athletes at the gym—yet there is also space, time, and guidance for newbies like me. The coaching is fantastic with a lot of focus on form and preventing injury. The people are lovely and I genuinely look forward to going for the WODs and seeing familiar faces. Truly a great fitness experience that seems sustainable.

Fantastic experience: I joined Breaker in May of 2023. I can easily say that this is the best gym I’ve ever been a part of. The community is so supportive. I love that each workout is accessible to all skill levels and can be scaled to meet your ability.

Fantastic experience: I’ve had an amazing experience at BREAKER CrossFit, largely thanks to Coach Parsa. The facility is excellent, and Coach Parsa’s expertise and motivational approach have significantly enhanced my fitness journey. He provides personalized guidance, ensuring everyone’s safety and progress. The community here is welcoming, making each session enjoyable. I highly recommend BREAKER CrossFit for anyone looking to improve their fitness in a supportive environment.

Fantastic experience: "I had been intending to start CrossFit for a while and was looking for a suitable place with good coaches and a friendly atmosphere, as I had no prior experience in this field and was a complete amateur. Three months ago, I stumbled upon this place, and I'm now completely satisfied with my choice of this gym. It has managed to seamlessly integrate CrossFit into my daily routine. The coaches are excellent, and the environment is very welcoming. Highly recommended!"

Fantastic experience: Crossfit Breaker has been a game-changer for me, blending sport, community, and personal growth into an unparalleled experience. Having tried numerous sports, Crossfit truly stands out. It was here, amidst my struggle with an eating disorder, that Coach Parsa promised Crossfit would change my life – and it did. The atmosphere at Crossfit Breaker is exceptional. It feels like a second home, thanks to the welcoming coaches and members. The workouts are challenging yet rewarding, and the supportive community is like a family I never knew I needed. I highly recommend Crossfit Breaker to anyone seeking a transformative fitness journey in a supportive environment. It's more than a gym; it's where I found strength, health, and a sense of belonging.

Fantastic experience: I started Breaker Strength only two months ago, and I feel this is a great place to have fun and get the train. I do not have any experience or regular training and just started CrossFit at age 50+; I am so lucky to have found the right place! I have received excellent guidance from great coaches. All coaches provide care and complete attention to all members. I am so happy and grateful to have exercised surrounded by kind members and great coaches at Breaker Strength. I highly recommend it!

Fantastic experience: Been a member of the community since the spring. Got hurt and on the road to recovery I’m back. The coaches here really want to see you work safely and push you to achieve. It’s a great environment to work out in.

Negative experience: I liked the gym, but I hurt my back during a workout. They should start with warm-up exercises, especially for newcomers. It was my first time seeing a place start class without warming up. Otherwise, the classes are tough, and I like the atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Having been a member of Breaker for almost a year. before I joined, I was just looking for a nearby gym to improve my strength training that I found breaker around the neighborhood. I had never done CrossFit before and it was a bit intimidating to start, but I am glad I took the chance and looking back it was one of my best decisions in the past year, thanks to their top-notch coaches and supportive community. I was a bit nervous about learning new movements (it took a while to differentiate between all the barbell moves they have since I was not into lifting before), but the workouts are challenging and well-structured, from the warm-ups to the main workout. I like how the workouts set up to hold you accountable and the Coaches provide clear instructions every session. all coaches, are knowledgeable, highly skilled and passionate and each member receives personalized corrections on their movements throughout the session, which helps you to learn the techniques, and gives you the chance to scale exercises to your own level. The gym members are friendly and supportive, you find yourself motivated by the experienced athletes, encouraging you to improve yourself while taking safety precautions. I look forward to starting my day here and recommend it to anyone seeking a positive change in their fitness journey.

Fantastic experience: I love working out under the guidance of coaches. I never had formal workouts before but never felt left out as they help each one of us to correct posture and technique.

Fantastic experience: Great staff and love the workout its customized according to your ability

Fantastic experience: Ị absolutely loved the workout here today! Awesome coach and vibe! Highly recommend this place! Thank you so much for today’s workout!

Negative experience: I am glad my class package runs out. I have not enjoyed my time here. The atmosphere is cultish and weird. For instance, the owner constantly sends messages to members akin to the berating tone used by an annoyed kindergarten teacher. As to why the members put up with this, I have no idea, but I guess your self respect goes out of the door the longer you spend in this Crossfit gym that exhibits all the traits that have given Crossfit a bad rap. The coaching style of the trainers is very intrusive and you are micro-managed the minute you step in here. If that's what you are looking for, go for it. If not, give this place a wide berth.

Fantastic experience: Great!

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym with incredible programming and coaching staff.

Fantastic experience: This is my mom's FAVOURITE. She raves about her time at the gym every day as it's such a great and healthy community. First, she wanted me to note the excellent coaching staff who are so knowledgeable and encouraging to all levels of athletes. She always repeats how they care about the safety of the athletes over everything. And they change the music that's playing when she really doesn't like it! Second, she really appreciated the effort that Tom, the owner, made to get them to maintain their health both physically and mentally. My mom has made a lot of friends at this gym and is even going out on Saturday nights with these teammates! While my mom's technical prowess isn't as great as her rowing skills have become, she knows this gym and these coaches and these fellow athletes are amazing and deserve all the support and recognition for what they do.

Fantastic experience: I started last year, my first experience with CrossFit and was the best! I really like going there, because the place, the professors and the people! Really good atmosphere!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Breaker for a year now, I’ve seen so many changes within myself not just physically but even mentally. Love love the community & the coaches here

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of Break Strength crossfit for the past six months and I have to say, this is one of the best gym I have ever attended. The coaches at Break Strength are some of the best in the business. They are knowledgeable, experienced, and always willing to help. They are able to provide personalized attention to each member, no matter their fitness level or experience with crossfit. Their coaching style is both encouraging and challenging, which has helped me push myself beyond what I thought was possible. The community at Break Strength is one of the best aspects of the gym. The members are friendly and supportive, which has helped me feel like a part of something larger than just a gym. The environment at Break Strength is also fantastic. Equipment is well-maintained and always clean. The gym has a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere, which has helped me feel comfortable and motivated to work out. Overall, I highly recommend Break Strength for anyone looking for a high-quality crossfit gym.

Fantastic experience: If you want to become a better overall athlete, this is the gym for you. The coaching staff are true professionals. I am stronger than ever since joining may of 2022! Great space, great equipment, great people and free parking are other perks !

Fantastic experience: I started coming a couple months ago. I love that any one from all fitness levels can enjoy coming to this gym. The workouts are tailored to your level. The coaches are encouraging. They’ll make sure you are challenged but most importantly, make sure you have the proper foundations to avoid injury. I recommend this gym!

Fantastic experience: Great gym for all levels. I’ve been working out at this gym for two months and it’s my first time learning crossfit. Recommend Breaker for 1) great program 2) excellent coaches 3) inspiration From warm up to main work out, they teach you proper forms and movement for all levels, and give you feedback. Overall workout days are balanced with both strength and cardio so it’s never boring. All coaches are very knowledgeable and passionate on coaching, instruction is clear and easy to understand. Lastly, you would get inspired by working out with other members here.

Fantastic experience: Get strong with an amazing community. You won't regret trying your first CrossFit class here!

Fantastic experience: Great team of coaches at Breakr ensure awesome programming everyday. They work with your injuries and provide customized workouts on the go. I was never a morning person but am now a convert for 6:30am sessions. Shout out to the great community and camaraderie amongst members. Not to forget ample ( almost unlimited) space for parking and outdoor workouts during summers. Easy and quick access from 401/DVP.

Fantastic experience: I have been doing CrossFit (well, I thought I was) since 2015, until I switched to Breaker to find out all the skill sets I had were all trash. All 3 coaches, Thom, Brandon and Kate are truly professionals. They would seriously observe your motion during workouts and provide feedback. They also provide workout modifications if you are injured. If you want to start CrossFit with proper technique, Breaker is the perfect place to start!

Fantastic experience: Breaker Strength is exactly what a CrossFit gym should be. Excellent coaching, a community vibe, big industrial style space and a lot of fit people!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been at Breaker for just under 6 months after looking for a gym close to my school and I cannot say enough good things about it. The programming is top notch and the coaching is fantastic. No matter what size the class is, everyone gets personalized attention and cues to make their movement better. I started out coming here a couple times a week when I was at school and now I’m driving 45 minutes on weekends because it’s that amazing. If you’re looking to start or change up your fitness routine, no matter what level you’re at, Breaker is the place to do it.

Fantastic experience: One good thing I did six months back was find this crossfit gym, trust the google reviews and contact Thom for a trial session. I didn’t even have to think twice to sign-up at the gym after the first class. Brandon, Kate and Thom - the coaches at this gym are top-notch. They are knowledgeable, attentive, and supportive. They make sure to check on each member to ensure they are performing exercises with proper form and technique, which is very important in preventing injury. The workouts are always challenging but fun. The variety of exercises and movements keeps things interesting and helps to prevent boredom. I have never trained at a gym for more than a month and six months is a personal record for me, so this gym deserves nothing less than 5 stars.

Fantastic experience: I joined Breaker in September 2022. I was initially hesitant about trying Crossfit despite having played competitive sports growing up. I was scared that the movements would be too technical and difficult, that the volume would be too high, and that I would ultimately end up getting injured. However, I needed a gym that offered a variety of class times that would fit my schedule as a med student so decided to give it a shot! Six months in, I'm happy to say that I made the right decision. The programming is top-notch and really well structured from the warm up right through to the workout of the day. There's a ton of variety in the exercises each week so that you don't get bored. I can't speak highly enough about the coaching - Kate, Brandon, and Thom are so experienced and their corrective cues are spot on to ensure that I'm doing an exercise properly. I appreciate that there's always a scaled version of every exercise and you're never judged for what version you do. The gym itself is a great facility with a lot of open space, no shortage of barbells/equipment, showers and ample parking. There's a real sense of community at Breaker, the trainers know you by name, and it's motivating to be around so many dedicated athletes. The coaches have been really encouraging and supportive of my schedule and go the extra mile to check in if I haven't been to the gym in awhile or arrange time outside of class for me to complete a workout. They simply care and want to see you improve and reach your goals. Joining Breaker has been one of the best decisions that I have made this past year. I recommend Breaker to anyone looking to get stronger and more fit with the most amazing community cheering you on -- you won't be disappointed! UPDATE: 1.5 years in and I still love coming to this gym for every workout! The people are so kind and welcoming. The coaches are exceptionally knowledgeable about biomechanics and how to move our bodies properly to build strength and limit injuries! Can’t say enough great things about this gym!

Fantastic experience: Update: March 2024: still going to this gym regularly since my last review. The place is still great. The wonderful community is what keeps me going. Just show up! Original review in 2023: My best friend has been begging me to try CrossFit, and I have always been hesitant - the workouts look so hardcore and I don’t think I can do any of it. One pandemic later I decided to give it a go, just to let my friend know that I’ve tried. I remembered Coach Thom said on the first day: give it three months. It’s been 8 months since I joined. As a slow learner, I’m still figuring things out (all the acronyms!), but I’m going to stick to it. The reasons are simple, if you haven’t read the other reviews already: - Great Community - it’s a family where everyone is welcome and inclusive - Great Coaching - programs are well-planned with safety in mind - there’s always something to learn in every workout - Great Diversity - it’s for everyone and every body no matter your physical fitness and ability - Great Vibes - fun, positive and no bull If you’re serious about your health and fitness, this is the right place to be.

Fantastic experience: Parking lot. I go to several boxes as I move around for work. This one really is the best. Thom's programming is well thought out. I've gotten stronger with less injuries and my ADHD brain never gets bored. I particularly appreciate the different programming options like the BRKR Anywhere for people on vacation or with limited equipment at home. There's a wonderful community and regular "in house" competitions (based on participation and weekly challenges, not on performance). I'll always be grateful to Breaker for keeping the community together and encouraging me to stay in shape with Zoom classes during pandemic closures.

Fantastic experience: Such a great Gym!

Fantastic experience: Reasons why I love this gym: 1) The owners and coaches - I always receive very helpful cues, and tips to improve. I feel safe and comfortable here from their keen watch, and knowledgeable support. In the short amount of time I've been here I feel like I have made significant improvements already from the things I've learned (thanks team :)). *Note - They stress the rules here - from listening in class, to attendance, to putting away equipment - which imo, is excellent. You can't mess around when you've got (relatively) a lot of people in one room with potentially many ways to get injured. 2) The morning class folks - hardworking, fun, and encouraging. I've found inspiration in all level of athlete I've had the pleasure of speaking to here. **I've been to a few later morning, a noon, and weekend classes - everyone seems equally as lovely, but I am a morning person through and through. 3) The workouts - challenging, with great scaling options if you need them. The workouts could arguably be my first reason why I love this gym, but the two aforementioned reasons make it so that I'm more interested in showing up each day. I didn't have any doubt that I'd be signing up after my first class, but Thom's confidence that I should do so was the icing on the cake that day.

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a crossfit gym that is well organized, supportive, fun and challenging, you've come to the right place! I've been working out at Breaker for just over a year and can honestly say it's the best gym I've worked out at.

Fantastic experience: Best CrossFit facility, program, coaches and team in Toronto! Thom and all other coaches are super accurate while teaching and paying attention on how you’re doing every movement and giving you tips on what to do to improve and reach better standards! I drive all the way from downtown everyday to workout at 6:30 am and it is always worth the ride! My everyday therapy!

Fantastic experience: I had to move to another CrossFit gym when I moved to North York and pretty happy with my decision as I learned so much in such a short time. There has been a noted difference in the way I approach workouts and lifting weights compared to when I first started. The huge prioritization on good quality movements at this specific gym is evident through the well thought out day to day programming and deliberate coaching. All the coaches are extremely knowledgeable, dedicated and patient to all their members. Also, giving credits to Thom + Breaker for improving my squat form with personalized queues and coaching.

Fantastic experience: Best coaches, who tailor workouts as per individual's capabilities, and encourage you to push your limits to bring best out of you. It was my first time ever joining any gym, and its been 5 months, i have been looking forward to attend classes everyday just because of support people give you to push yourself. Lost 13 Kgs in last 5 months and attained my ideal weight.

Fantastic experience: Thank you so much for having me. Wonderful place and people.

Fantastic experience: Breaker Strength is the reason behind my love and commitment to working out now! I recently moved so I unfortunately had to switch gyms, but I got countless compliments from my new coaches on my form and body movements and that’s all thanks to Breaker strength! I have never done any type of sports before and now LOVE CrossFit because of them. I recommend this place so much! They are supportive, knowledgeable, and have built a great community! Wishing them all the best and I hope I can come back one day❤️

Fantastic experience: I have loved every moment of being at the club since the start! The workouts are always challenging and there is a great sense of community amongst the members. It feels as if we are part of one close family. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable and are always reinforcing proper form/scaling of movements to fit each members level of fitness. The Equipment is super well maintained and there is lots of it to go around. I just feel AWESOME after each workout! I would recommend this club to everyone! Thank you for doing such a great job, Breaker Strength ❤️

Fantastic experience: UPDATED: Two and a half years later, and still so grateful and happy to be members. Not only have we have both experienced material improvements in our physical fitness (in our mid-50's), but the classes have also become important for our mental health. The care and passion that Thom and his team bring every day make Breaker very special. This is not a gym that just wants your money. They want you to come to class. Every month, they give away a free month of membership. (You are eligible for the draw if you attended 16 times or more the previous month.) There are even free yearly memberships given away periodically (with eligibility based on participation/attendance). In a class you can find people who have never exercised before as well as people who competed internationally. It's not just strength and conditioning - under the watchful eye of our wonderful coaches, we learn new skills and improve our movement quality and mobility. If you put in the work, the classes will definitely produce results. But the thing that really keeps us going back is that we have fun. Yes, we work hard (sometimes very hard) in the classes, but I have found so much enjoyment and fulfillment from the process of challenging myself, and doing difficult things that I would never have thought possible for me. Before this all started, I could not have pictured myself at a CrossFit gym, and now my classes are a priority for me. For those who think "CrossFit is not for me", I would urge them to keep an open mind and give it a chance. ORIGINAL REVIEW: My husband and I joined Breaker about 3 months ago, about a year and half into the pandemic. Because of the high quality of Breaker, and our great experiences there, I feel compelled to write my first Google review. 1) Community and inclusivity The owner, Thom, and coaches really work hard to create a feeling of community. They make a point of getting to know everyone by name. The members are very welcoming as well. I am an introvert, so it required a bit of effort for me to introduce myself to people, but it really enhances the experience to get to know the other members. It may feel slightly intimidating at first seeing some of the members and coaches in action because there are some really impressive athletes at the gym, but the environment is positive, supportive and inclusive of all levels of fitness and experience. Newer members are never made to feel bad because they are not as skilled or fit as other members. 2) Coaches and programming The programming is very well thought out, and planned within each class, and across the classes and is carried out by a team of attentive and knowledgeable coaches. I would gladly go to a class led by any of the Breaker coaches who nudge you to do more than you thought you could do. They are all clearly there because they want to be, and because they enjoy seeing people progress. While all the coaches are wonderful, as a woman, I have to mention the female coaches, and how inspiring it is to see them in action. 3) Effort/commitment The classes can be hard, and sometimes you will feel uncomfortable. (But you should never feel pain.) Everyone is there to work hard (and how that is achieved will differ for each individual). You will be offered different “scaled” levels/options so you can choose something that is challenging (for your own skill and fitness level) but attainable with effort. If you are nursing an injury, the coaches will make additional modifications for you. This may be obvious, but in order to see benefits, you have to be willing to give this experience a chance by going a reasonable number of times a week, trying your best during the classes and giving it a few months. 4) Value I understand that anyone who can pay for CrossFit is in a position of privilege. I think it's important to focus on value. With the programming, coaching and supportive environment, I get so much out of each class and out of the experience that I think Breaker is amazing value, and am so happy that we stumbled onto it.

Fantastic experience: I am a member at Breaker Strength. When I joined I had no weight lifting experience, and I used to be easily intimidated by the sight of gym equipment. Two months in, I am 14kg lighter, and put on 2kg of muscle. Great coaches and great people to work out with.

Fantastic experience: Update: Mar 2024 Professional coaches at Breaker! They help me to modify my workouts for my knee injury for the last 6 months! Knee pain sucks, but I leave this place with a smile daily! Thank you coaches at Breaker and friends in this community! Oooooo…. And having a chiro and coach Meghan on premise is a bonus! Update : Feb 2023 Cannot find a better way to start my weekdays and I love this place and people here more everyday. Waking up at 430am for 530am class and working 12 hours till 9 pm is not an easy task; however, it is worth it to wake up early for my physical and mental health! Thank you Breaker for the perfect environment, perfect coaches, perfect community and perfect workout. ❤️ Original: I started zoom classes with Breaker strength during the covid lock down and then started attending classes regularly after the lock down. I wish I started with Breaker right from the beginning (was another gym for few years).The coaches at Breaker strength are professional and kind. They are all willing to spend time with me and making sure I am doing each movement correctly to prevent injuries. Over the years, I have developed a lot of bad habits. I am correcting them slowly with the help of the coaches and feeling better each day. Everyone is friendly, nice, welcoming and always cheer for each other. It is a wonderful community and I do not want to miss any classes. I have been to different crossfit gyms across the world. Breaker is simply the best with the programming and coaching staff. If you would like to try crossfit, look no further. Breaker Strength is the best place for you to start your fitness journey.

Fantastic experience: 10/10 My experience is that the CrossFit culture is friendly and inclusive. This gym is no different. Chill people, clean equipment, and awesome swole coach that knows how to warm you up. Go check it out.

Fantastic experience: I joined 2 months ago and I fell in love with this gym right away. The coaches are very patient and knowledgeable. They take time to correct posture to avoid injury. There's no pressure or judgment. Every moment can be scaled or mortified to our own level. Different workout everyday. It's a super fun and supportive community. It takes my fitness to another level! I'm feeling physically and mentally stronger and stronger everyday! One year update: Joining Breaker Strength is the best thing I ever did for myself for self love. Not only improved my physcial wellbeing but also my mental clarity and ability to focus. It's truly miraculous that I'm a master of procrastinator, but somehow I've been able to show up almost every single day. It is seriously that fun!! The owner Thom and rest of amazing coaches truly care about every single members making sure everyone moving safely. Don't be intimidated when you hear "crossfit". Every workout here can be motified with our own fitness level with thoroughly instruction and adequate warm up. I'm an introvert with massive social anxiety. With the warmth and positivity of this community, i am slowly making progress being comfortable in my own skin. Come join this big sweet family! You will thank yourself later i promise! ;)

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this gym. Clean and well organized. People mind their own business but are friendly enough to help you out if you ask them nicely.

Fantastic experience: The coaching and programming at breaker is like nothing I have experienced at 6 other gyms during my 8 years of doing Crossfit. While frustrating at times, the consistent focus on fundamentals and form of every single movement, every single time is incredibly beneficial and serves only to make you better in the long run. Having been there for 5 months now I can't believe how much the coaching has improved all aspects of my movement and lifts. Thom and his staff have created an environment like nothing else I have experienced and I look forward to being a lifer there.

Fantastic experience: We first started at Breaker almost 16 months ago and 100% recommend to both experienced Crossfitters and folks wanting to explore functional fitness. The coaches, community, and programming are amazing and have helped me build both new/old skills and make some great friends along the way! For context, my partner and I played competitive/contact sports, took a few detours due to injuries, including kickboxing and yoga, and wanted to try CrossFit... but were super intimidated. If, like us, you are thinking of starting CrossFit but feeling a bit intimidated by all the movements/terminology OR if you're seeking a new gym to help you improve your fitness, these are just some of the reasons I'd recommend Breaker Strength: 1) The Community -- Breaker is inclusive, warm, welcoming, and a great learning environment, but most importantly fun. There are people of ALL skill levels working out together at the same time -- everyone is supportive, friendly, and always cheering you on. 2) The Space -- It is one of the larger gyms in the city, super spacious, well maintained, has a lots of equipment for varied programming, and is thoughtfully laid out. Also, Breaker is dog-friendly/sometimes dogs make appearances and that's just a huge plus in my books. ALSO, THERE'S PARKING. And last but not least... 3) The Coaches & Programming -- Breaker's programming is excellent, thorough, and never dull; it includes Olympic weightlifting, gymnastics, strength training, and conditioning. Breaker even includes programming for days you can't go to the gym/have limited or no equipment. The programming is evidence-driven, well thought out, provides progressions for folks who are learning the movements and even the most experienced athletes. (Bonus? You can view all programming, read Thom's detailed coaching notes, log your progress, and celebrate each other's progress on a free app.) What makes the programming even better are the talented, professional, experienced, and methodical coaches, who are patient and always encouraging (e.g. I used to only do push-ups from a box or my knees, never thinking I could do a pushup from my toes... now I can do several and even do them in workouts!). Also, and perhaps really important for someone who has rehabbed/rehabbing sports injuries, I REALLY appreciate that coaches are focused on creating good foundations for movement, teaching good technique, and always emphasizing safety/injury prevention. (e.g. Prior to, I hadn't really done much weightlifting, was fairly new to squats, deadlifts, and terrified of the barbell due to previous injuries. But with Breaker's coaching and appropriate loading over time, I have hit Olympic weightlifting PRs I didn't think possible and is something I really enjoy doing now!) Regardless of your fitness level or expertise, if you're into CrossFit, or wanting to give it a shot, or even if you just want to find an amazing and supportive environment to encourage you to get faster, stronger, fitter -- I highly recommend Breaker Strength.

Fantastic experience: Joining Breaker was the best decision I’ve made to progress my CrossFit skills. For years I’ve been very averagely fit, but wanted a gym that could help take me to the next level, and achieve new movements I haven’t been able to do in the past. Only a few months into Breaker, and I’ve already had so many lightbulb moments, with the help of the fantastic coaching staff. Looking forward to growing as an athlete with this gym!

Fantastic experience: Breaker is fantastic! I joined almost 2 years ago and have nothing but great things to say. Admittedly, I was burnout of commercial gyms and stale lifting routines. Breaker and Crossfit in general are a fun and refreshing way to get and stay fit. Highlights from Breaker include the proficiency of the coaching/programming, the dedication to their members health/fitness and the overall sense of community at the gym. 1. Coaching/programming As someone who had never done Crossfit, I had heard lots of horror stories regarding injury BUT that is avoided at Breaker through effective programming methods. As well, all the coaching staff at Breaker are extremely knowledgeable when it comes to exercise form and movement. Having such great coaching and programming allows for all members to challenge themselves and improve their fitness regardless of their Crossfit skill level. Newer members are encouraged to start slow and focus on the basics which allows for steady progress and avoids injuries. The owner Thom also does a great job of programming with specific goals in mind. Having a clear, thought out and well executed program to follow is key for member progress and you get that at Breaker. 2. Dedication to their members During the lockdowns when gyms were shuttered, Breaker provided its members with outdoor classes during the warmer months. They constructed an outdoor workout area by building pull-up stations, providing workout mats and each day would haul equipment from inside the gym to outside. Before each class, there is a verbal and written breakdown of the workout. Scaling options are reviewed individually so that each member knows exactly what they are doing. The coaching staff pay individual attention to each member during the classes, and no one is ever left out or ignored regardless of what they are performing that day. There is no disorganization in the classes or running behind to impact your schedule, classes start on time and finish on time. 3. Community Members are very welcoming and new faces are greeted with open arms. Encouragement during the workouts from other members helps to push yourself. At the end of class, no matter how hard it was, it’s always smiles. Outside of the gym, Breaker organizes social events such as holiday parties, charitable workouts, and gym socials. There’s a sense of kinship at Breaker that I have not found at any other gym. Long story short, if you want to improve your fitness, challenge yourself, make steady progress in strength/body composition, be surrounded by great people, and have fun while doing it, Breaker is the place for you.

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of a few CrossFit gyms in Toronto and BRKR is my favorite. The programming is really made to make everyone better. There seems to be a focus on working towards everyone getting better at high skill gymnastics, and proper Olympic lifting. I find the RX workouts are often very challenging, and this makes me realize that BRKR athletes are much fitter then average. So if you're looking to be challenged and improve with some great coaching I can't recommend them enough. Also the price is MUCH better then many other CrossFit gyms.

Fantastic experience: I joined breaker strength in October of 2021. Previously I had been at another CrossFit gym, and even before that, I lifted weights in my basement with my dad, and played rugby. I’ve struggled a lot with my mental health over the passed few years. With COVID I worked out a lot at home and with my partner or on my own. For someone with social anxiety, I was looking for a gym that I could get in and get out, do my stuff and leave. I never ever ever thought that I would be compelled to come out of my shell and really appreciate the community breaker has. I’ve never felt SO encouraged by both coaches and workout mates before. They really make me want to push out of my comfort zone and be better. I appreciate the coaches always giving me things to work on and also talking me out of my own head. I’ve never actually been coached this way before and I am so excited to see what I can do in a year. I’ve never felt so comfortable in my own skin. I’ve already made so much progress. If you’re a competitive athlete or a total newbie, looking for challenging programming, meticulous coaching and community full of non stop support, or if you’re not even sure what you’re looking for come do a class at breaker. I am so happy I stumbled upon this gym.

Fantastic experience: Breaker Strength was one the best findings of my 2021, I've been into CrossFit since 2015 and already visited many different gyms over these years. When I entered it for the first time, I could feel tradition and respect already in the air of this big high ceiling training "box", filled with good quality equipment and always displaying positive energy. What I noticed after a few weeks training there is the high technical quality of well experienced coaches and a friendly atmosphere of people motivating you to improve your performance but with proper care to keep yourself healthy and avoid any injuries. I look forward to keep training there for many more years to come.

Fantastic experience: Super place to work out, Great coaches, fabulous facility and a very encouraging and supportive community. CrossFit can be intimidating especially with some amazing athletes at the box, but the owner Thom along with other coaches really put in the effort to break down all the complex movements and constantly correct my form. They can gauge peoples fitness levels very well and always provide alternative/ scaled workout options to avoid injuries. Would highly recommend for anyone regardless of their fitness levels to start off at breaker strength, only to get stronger and fitter.

Fantastic experience: I joined Breaker CrossFit in December 2021. I had never done CrossFit before and I was recovering from a running knee injury. At that point I was very frustrated with my running training plan and was looking to change things up and add some weightlifting & community into my routine. I was very nervous about doing CrossFit and possible getting injured again. I had heard countless rumours about the “cult-like” community, the lack of attention to proper technique and propensity to injury, and overall extremely competitive sport. However, my experience has been exactly the opposite. Thom and the coaches have been very welcoming and have adapted the workouts to my skill level and ability, ensuring that I learn proper technique for each movement. I have been doing CrossFit for 4 months now and participated in my first Open competition and I can’t say how happy I am that I joined this box. The community is beyond supportive and welcoming. The coaches are very knowledgeable and supportive. I have found a community that I am proud to say I belong to, and I plan on continuing to workout here for the foreseeable future.

Fantastic experience: I've been at this gym for 6 years and I'm looking forward to many more. Before I joined Breaker I was going to the gym as a chore and struggled to find a routine that I would be consistent with. After joining Breaker, I found myself actually wanting to go to the gym and looking forward to early morning wake-ups for the morning classes. I really enjoy the variety in the programming and the coaches always make sure there are appropriate scaling options available for every athlete. I've seen improvements across every movement pattern over my time here, including during all the times where we were working out at home. Thom & his team did an incredible job at keeping members engaged and active throughout the pandemic.

Fantastic experience: During COVID my crossfit gym shut down so I was looking for a new one to try & decided to try Breaker. I was hooked from day one! The coaching is bare none the best I’ve experienced and the programming is challenging but pushes everyone (no matter your level!) to be better in the right way. All the coaches are supportive in adapting any workout to suit the individuals needs (I worked out successfully throughout my recent pregnancy). They were able to adapt our experience throughout all the COVID challenges thrown their way and found options to ensure we all stayed accountable and had an outlet to stay active and participate in a great community. Breaker is an amazing gym that I drive out of my way to go to just because of how much I’ve grown to love it. I can’t say enough good things about the community they’ve built & the skills I’m learning. I love starting each day here and would 100% recommend Breaker to anyone.

Fantastic experience: I have been doing CrossFit since 2016 and have been to many gyms and boxes since then, but none of these places was like Breaker Strength. When the gyms were allowed to re-open in June 2021, I was so eager to go back to CrossFit. I made a list of boxes to try out and Breaker was the first one on the list. I attended one class and immediately knew that I don't need to search anymore. Since then, I've been going to the gym 5-6 times a week. Sometimes I get FOMO, if I miss a class!! The staff: Thom and all the coaches are experienced, very helpful and knowledgeable. They come to every class with a plan to help their members push their limits and get better everyday. Needless to say that they are friendly and considerate. They make it a habit to learn each and every member's name and skills to provide a personalized experience throughout. The programming is smart and efficient. It is designed in a way that helps you improve and feel better about your fitness. Information, preparation notes and details of every workout are always made available to the members to understand the movements and the intended stimulus of each WOD. Every class starts with a well-structured warm-up that lets your body and mind get to the readiness state you need for the workout. The beauty about CrossFit WODS is that they are scalable to match almost everyone's abilities, and Breaker team make sure every workout is scaled to your skills and you still get the most benefit out of it. Oh! and it's always funnn (except when echo bikes are included. LOL) The gym is well equipped, clean and tidy with changing rooms and showers available on site. The community is great, supportive and very welcoming. I'm so happy to be a part of it. The latest open games season was so much fun, filled with themed events, competitiveness and amazing energy!! I would definitely recommend Breaker Strength!

Fantastic experience: I have been going at Breaker for a couple of years and it is by far the best gym out there. The gym space is largest of all the Crossfit gyms in Toronto and there is plenty of parking space, which can be a problem at some gyms. They also have a great selection of equipment for fun and challenging workouts. The programming is unmatched, nothing comes close to the Breaker programming. In addition to the daily main class workout, there is also Open gym space for those looking for additional training. All workouts can be modified for any skill level. No workout is the same, there is always a new challenge each and every day. The coaching staff and most importantly the owner Thom are very dedicated to ensuring members learn proper form and technique and help members achieve their goals and get fitter. After all these years I still continue to improve all thanks to Breaker. The gym also offers personal trainning, Coach Brandon is outstanding for an one on one experience. One of the best parts of the gym is also the social aspects. Everyone is welcoming and you will be sure to make friends quickly. They also host a lot of fun social events and competitions for their members.

Fantastic experience: The coaching and programming at breaker is like nothing I have experienced at 6 other gyms during my 8 years of doing Crossfit. While frustrating at times, the consistent focus on fundamentals and form of every single movement, every single time is incredibly beneficial and serves only to make you better in the long run. Having been there for 5 months now I can't believe how much the coaching has improved all aspects of my movement and lifts. Thom and his staff have created an environment like nothing else I have experienced and I look forward to being a lifer there.

Fantastic experience: I joined Breaker Strength in September 2021. I had no prior CrossFit or gym experience. I led a sedentary life and was in the worst shape of my life. Fast forward to March 2023, I am physically stronger and more flexible. My fitness journey has also had a profoundly positive impact on my mental health. The coaching staff is incredible and the box community has been super supportive. I have met some incredible people at Breaker and I now look forward to the challenging workouts every week. Joining Breaker has been one of the best work-life balance decisions I’ve made in recent years. I highly recommend you give it a try!

Fantastic experience: Professional coaching and phenomenal planned workouts for everyone.

Fantastic experience: Amazing community from the top. Coaches really pay attention to the individual and provide feedback specifically for that member.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Breaker Strength for 5 years. This gym has supported my mental and physical health through the pandemic, my pregnancy, and my post partum recovery. Previously, I was weightlifting at Goodlife, I reached a plateau and was bored at the gym. I didn't do any conditioning and at times felt lost or self conscious at Goodlife. I had never tried Crossfit before, I only had heard the jokes about injuries, 'cults', and the memes. I was inspired to try Crossfit after watching Fittest on Earth on Netflix. I saw that women were celebrated, encouraged to be strong, extremely fit, and mentally tough. So, I decided to shop around North York for the right gym. I toured a few, had a free trial with a coach at one, and Breaker was my last stop. Breaker was the largest gym I had visited, and had shower facilities. I was invited to watch a class and sat to watch the class for the full hour. I watched the level of coaching, the members interactions, and the structure of the class. I was sold, I had finally found my place. I purchased foundations with Thom. It was very informative, his coaching approach teaches the reasoning behind correct technique and prioritizes injury prevention. Foundations also helped me to familiarize myself with the gym and the new movements. I was lost for the first few weeks, new acronyms, new movements, new types of workouts, and conditioning, but the coaches and the members helped me throughout. I was also really nervous and self conscious my first class, but the community created a supportive learning environment. The coaches helped by changing the workouts to my level of ability. I felt really comfortable after the first week. Though I was an experienced weightlifter I was coached to focus on fixing my technique and lowering the weights, I didn't know it but I had been doing a lot of things incorrectly. My understanding of the methodology at Breaker is to create a strong base, with good technique, proper muscle engagement, and to have fun. Workouts are well thought out and balanced, published a week at a time through a free app. Olympic lifting, weightlifting, conditioning, and gymnastics. Also offers personal training and nutrition. Baby friendly. Shower facilities, washrooms, and change rooms on site.

Fantastic experience: This gym is incredible! The coaching staff are knowledgeable, caring, and extremely helpful. I have always felt like the coaches care about my goals and want to help improve my fitness. The community is insanely supportive, whether it is everyone constantly cheering each other on or coming together as a community to support local charities. I love starting my day with an early morning workout with people who enjoy an early morning sweat (as well as pain and suffering). If you do Crossfit, this gym is for you.

Fantastic experience: Update (Feb 2023): I've been a member for 1.5 years and I can honestly say that I'm really happy to have found this gym and be apart of the Breaker community! ----- I joined Breaker as I wanted to get back in shape after being inactive during the lockdown. Being new to CrossFit, I was nervous to join as I thought the workouts would be too intimidating. However, this gym changed my perception of CrossFit. The coaches do a great job at making sure the workouts are as inclusive as possible. They offer different options depending on fitness level. There is also a big focus on proper technique and form to prevent injury. I also like that each class focuses on various skills and movements to improve overall strength and conditioning. The community is great too! The members are very welcoming and encouraging. This type of support helps me push myself to get through the tougher workouts. Although I've only been member for several months, I've seen a huge improvement in my physical strength and capabilities. I'm really happy that I chose to join Breaker over other gyms.

Fantastic experience: When I joined Breaker Strength, I had no experience working out and was worried about whether it would be a good fit for me. It didn't take long for me to realize there was nothing to worry about! The coaching staff here is amazing! They are incredibly knowledgeable and can help modify any workout to suit your exercise goals and abilities. Everything I needed to know, I was taught in the classes so there is no need to worry about not being able to do something. There is always a list of options that allow for the best workout for your skill level. The community of members is also one of the best parts of the gym. It's so motivating to know that there is a supportive group of friends waiting for me who will be there to push each other to do their best every day. I went from never having worked out, to coming 5 times a week and will be continuing to do so for the foreseeable future!

Everything I needed to know, I was taught in the classes so there is no need to worry about not being able to do something.

The community of members is also one of the best parts of the gym. It's so motivating to know that there is a supportive group of friends waiting for me who will be there to push each other to do their best every day. I went from never having worked out, to coming 5 times a week and will be continuing to do so for the foreseeable future!

Fantastic experience: I've been doing CrossFit for around 10 years at 5 different gyms. I joined Breaker, after moving to North York just over 2 years ago, and it is the best CrossFit gym I have ever gone to. The programming has made me an all around better athlete. I've improved all my Olympic/Power lifts and my gymnastics skills (and that was after months of Zoom classes through the pandemic). All the coaches are very knowledgeable, patient, and they make the classes fun. They've helped me break a lot of bad habits across a variety of movements. Finally, the community of members is amazing. Everyone is very welcoming and encouraging. Whether you have been doing CrossFit for awhile or you are looking to try it out, Breaker is a great place to go.

Fantastic experience: 2023 Update- this place still bussin As a physician people always ask me HOW exercise can be made enjoyable and/or so addictive that you’ll want to come in the morning, or after work, come rain shine or snow, and I think Breaker CrossFit has the answer. This place means so much to me that this review might come off a bit cheesy but since joining here 1.5 years ago during COVID this community is now integral to my life. The coaches and the members are welcoming and inclusive at any hour of the day. It is easy to quickly become part of a team. There are people who have not worked out in a decade and people who are so good I think they’re going to the CrossFit Games and the beauty of it is that we all work out TOGETHER. The coaches are experienced, talented, and really inspirationally fit-excellent teachers for a multitude of skills that you can develop including strength, gymnastics, cardio, etc. I like that you can NEVER GET get BORED because there is ALWAYS something to work on. ALWAYS. If you don’t like running also join Breaker because most of us hate running however having said that I learned to run here. You can learn all sorts of amazing things that you never thought you could do because the programming is almost magical (another member told me this when I started I thought she was crazy but I kinda get it). Like I have watched people go from no pushups to 50 toe pushups in this year. People who just attend class somewhat regularly also just appear to miraculously pull strict chin ups, ring dips, pull ups, ring muscle ups, out of their ear. I went from a few pull-ups to legless rope climbs and bar muscle ups? Crazy. I think we don’t notice that we are continuously improving because we are just having so much fun for one hour with people who will inevitably become your friends- literally the best hour of our days. On a practical note, the Covid protocols were amazing, safety was never a concern, and for lockdown or when people were isolating, Breaker lent people equipment. Amazingly kind. Prices are competitive and parking is FREE and plentiful (yes that was a draw initially). This review was a long time coming. But as I am 2 days away from finishing my second CrossFit open at the age of 47 and with a lot of very heavy things in my life and heart, I feel grateful that 1.5 years ago I went in for the parking and left with a gym family.

Fantastic experience: supportive and well trained coaches.

Fantastic experience: Update: 1 year later and 1 year older but you couldn't tell that from my fitness level. I'm surprised to still be breaking benchmarks. Community is awesome and the programming works if you're game to put in the effort. Really outstanding. I've been to 4 different CrossFit gyms in the US and Canada and the experience here is another level. They take your personal fitness improvement seriously, the programming is well thought out, and every coach is professional, knowledgeable and supportive. You'll find a great bunch of people to work out with, all at different stages in their fitness journey. I'm 53 and started CrossFit about 4 years ago. Decent fitness level for my age and getting better thanks to these folks.

Fantastic experience: The program and the coaches are phenomenal. Every workout is done very intelligently & the team makes it impossible for any of their members to sustain injury. There is a huge focus on form and simply being the best you can. The owner Thom always finds angles to push his members in all the different aspects of their fitness journey - he’s tough, but he definitely cares. Don’t be shy, take a peak ;) - The BRKR brief podcast Episode 9 sums it perfectly. Apple/Spotify/YouTube

Fantastic experience: Phenomenal coaching, fitness programming, and community. I've been a member for a few years now (more on and off recently) and I can truly say that they have maintained a very high standard for the space and coaching. There is a lot of focus put on minimizing injury and prioritizing technique/form. Most recently, they have put a lot of effort into ensuring the space is ready and well-suited for members who want to workout while social distancing - lots of safety measures such as individually laid-out barbells, weights, whiteboards, etc. are laid out per station.

Fantastic experience: Supper happy to join this club, friendly and proffessional . very clean

Positive experience: Been a member for a few years. This is the first Crossfit gym I went to and have returned after a short hiatus. The programming is some of the best.Thom and the other coaches make you feel welcome and relaxed, but make sure that you are getting the best workout and fitness experience around. All around great Crossfit community!

Fantastic experience: Great facility and location, friendly people, knowledgeable coaches who care about teaching you proper movements. A great supportive atmosphere for you to go after your personal set of goals. I’ve been here for 4 years, joined after getting chronic knee and back injuries from running. Was told to strengthen my legs and core and it has helped tremendously. Amazingly with cross training my speed at distances under 5km improved and I enjoyed learning new skills and building some strength. Little injuries still pop up now and then but the coaches always help to modify the workout so I can still keep my fitness up while healing. Well I could go on and there’s lots of great reviews here but of course it doesn’t mean CrossFit or this gym is right for you and your needs. However, you won’t be limited because of your level of fitness, abilities or weight. Talk to the coaches and find out if it’s a good fit for you.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member since Jan 2019. In that time I have become stronger, more athletic, and more confident. The programming is challenging but can be scaled as needed for the athlete. This is where the coaching staff shines. They are all well trained, knowledgeable, and personable. They continually push members at an individual level while minimizing risk of injury through promotion of safe movement, mobility, and strength development. Thom, the owner, can be intense but is very passionate about the gym and it's members. His commitment is shown every single day whether it be through coaching, casually providing members with advice on how to improve, or just taking care of day-to-day operations. He's incredibly knowledgeable and his work ethic is unparalleled. The gym community is what sets it a step above. From daily (friendly) competition on the leaderboards to events on weekends. The team and members at Breaker have done well to create a friendly, welcoming environment for new members which makes people feel included from the get go.

Fantastic experience: Excellent coaching in a supportive family environment. Each workout is expertly programmed to challenge you in new ways and you'll be absolutely amazed at what your body can do. This is NOT your typical CrossFit box. Safety, injury prevention, and progressive scaling are emphasized to ensure you have a safe and great workout. You won't be pushed to add more weight, try a complex movement, or go faster until your coaches know you are doing things safely and need a new challenge. That being said, their is no stagnation as there is always something you can do and expert coaches can always find a way to modify a workout to ensure you're achieving your best. Breaker Strength is a fun, friendly, and motivating environment. Weaknesses are overcome and personal bests are celebrated together. I've tried workouts at numerous gyms/boxes across Canada and the US and am always happy to be back home at Breaker.

Fantastic experience: Great community, great coaches, great facility, great owners

Fantastic experience: Great workouts everyday. Couches are very helpful and insightful. It feels more fun than a workout but you definitely will sweat. Everyone is friendly and cheerful. Great atmosphere and motivation for working out.

Fantastic experience: I recently moved to the city with no real social network. Took me a few months of trying out a few different gyms then I found Brkr. From the level of programming, the coaches, the people, CrossFit dogs and babies, it’s such a warm positive welcoming environment. The workouts are always brutally awesome, musics always bumpin from Ghentis EDM to Thoms Disney playlist, and good times all around. It is very much a family vibe environment. Looking forward to spending some more time with Brkr and making some good memories before I inevitably leave. 10/10 would recommend.

Fantastic experience: The coaches at Breaker Strength are awesome and very helpful. The programming is so varied and tough but scalable to all abilities. It's a great place to try out CrossFit or to get even better and stronger. I've learned a ton here in the 3 months I've been a member, and gained a lot of muscle too! I highly recommend giving it a try!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Thom and the team at Breaker Strength. Having moved back to Toronto and been CrossFit training for three years I was looking for a new box. Breaker provides solid training and support. I’ve been a member attending weekly for over two months and have learned so much and improved my technique.

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough good things about this gym. The programming is well planned and the coaches take time to teach you to move properly and focus on mobility. I've also been part of their nutrition program for the last 2 years and I've lost 75lbs!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Breaker Strength for about 18 months. I was motivated to change my diet and fitness regimen after becoming increasingly conscious of an impending "milestone" birthday. I thought I was reasonably fit before but CrossFit has been the biggest fitness challenge I have ever undertaken. That being said, the staff and coaches are all supportive and take the time to get to know each member, ensuring that we are working safely within our physical capabilities while at the same time motivating us to consistently improve and extend our capabilities. The members and staff are a community, and we all encourage each other every day.

Fantastic experience: It's been 3 yrs since I joined Breaker Strength. I was definitely nervous at first and attended classes only 2 times/week the first year, 3 times the second and now up to 4! I've grown to really love the workouts(some more than others:P), the awesome coaching and community! To be honest, my other reason for joining was because I had a big appetite, lol. I wanted to balance the way I was eating with fitness. Looking back now, I've learned more informative ways to enhance my nutrition with programming provided here. Unlike other people, I don't have a background in sports or any physical fitness before joining the gym. Muscles didn't exist. In the beginning I struggled with basic air squats and any upper body strength based movements. I'm proud to say that I've gained a lot of strength, stamina and overall confidence in my physical abilities. I look forward to many more yrs of getting stronger!!!

Fantastic experience: This is the first crossfit box I ever walked in to, and I lucked out, hard. I had competed in one sport at the youth national team level, and at lower competitive levels in a few other sports. The coaches at Breaker are some of the best coaches that I have worked with in any sport. The programming is well-balanced and geared at sustainable improvement in several areas, regardless of your baseline fitness level (everything is scale-able!). The community is great, and this is coming from someone who previously spent all gym time with headphones in, avoiding eye contact at all costs. And no other form of fitness training has done as much to build strength in my body and improve my overall health. Before walking through the doors at Breaker, I had a decent cardio base, but had never touched a barbell nor had I done any kind of gymnastics training. Fast forward 3 years, I am still waiting for the honey-moon phase to end...

Fantastic experience: Fantastic community and great coaching/programming! Edit (Feb 26 2023): thought it would be appropriate to come back here to update this review since we're seemingly through the challenging part of the pandemic. I wanted to call out how big of a part the owners/coaches played in keeping this community alive and thriving throughout the several lockdowns. Zoom classes kept our fitness journeys going and gave us a forum to connect socially, periodic/personal check-ins from the coaches helped keep us accountable when it was so easy to fall off. Just wanted to show some love and appreciation to the gym because for all the selflessness and love the gym has given us...and not just during the pandemic. Membership now has never been stronger and it's not hard to see why!

Fantastic experience: Breaker Strength is an amazing gym. The staff not only cares about pushing you beyond your limits, but also focuses on teaching proper technique. The coaches are constantly giving you feedback tailored to your current level, regardless of how many people may be in a class. You alway feel the individual attention and care; Breaker Strength is a family of like minded, driven members and staff. My fiancé and I have been going frequently for almost two months, and the results we see are awesome. As a tennis player and coach, I also see the improvement in my on court stability, balance and strength. Definitely recommend this gym!
