Philosophy Fitness

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Philosophy for about 3 months and I love the classes and the coaches. Great environment!

Fantastic experience: At what point do I see one as an animal in the woods

Fantastic experience: The workout classes are fantastic!

Fantastic experience: Great place to workout! Love the variety of classes and options -- instructors are so wonderful as well! The facilities are very clean and well kept; I would definitely recommend checking it out!

Fantastic experience: Best gym ever! The combination between classes, instructors and atmosphere make this gym unique❤

Fantastic experience: Excellent place for individuals who want a great workout. Highly recommend.

Negative experience: Going for a class here was like going to Pearson Airport the front desk took all my information twice even asked to check my phone, scrutinizing and condescending the owner called me back at the end of my class and asked me to change my NAME. They clearly didn’t want my kind there RACIST

Fantastic experience: Excellent classes! Instructors are very welcoming, encouraging, and always willing to modify the exercises to suit individual needs. Special shout-out to instructors Angela, Jill, and Chloe, whose classes I have done recently. There are many more amazing instructors whose classes I just haven’t had the chance to attend yet.

Fantastic experience: Great variety of classes. Classes are always fun and challenging. Love this place!

Fantastic experience: I found Philosophy last year and initially came for barre and yoga classes, which are some of the best I've been to in the city (shout out to Eneli and Jeanine). However, the lifting and strength classes, while intimidating at first, are truly what has taken my fitness to the level. The coaches, Anna and Jason, are keen to welcome newbies to lifting- don't hesitate to try their classes. I continue to frequent Philosophy weekly, and can attest to how much healthier I feel overall because of it. This place is special: not only for the fitness improvements you'll see from coming consistently, but for the social connections you'll make here- the environment is so positive and welcoming (and clean!) something you'll notice the moment you enter the front door! So grateful I found Philosphy

Fantastic experience: I just had a boxing class with Chloe! She was insane! Omggg her energy was crazy!! She’s amazing !!! It was literally the best boxing class I have gone to! And I’ve been to many! The facility is super clean, the young lady at the front was soo helpful and welcoming. You can tell anyone I spoke to feels like this is their second home.. I cannot wait for what this journey has in store!! If you’re thinking about coming,, what are you waiting for??? ! Do it! You will not regret it!!!

Fantastic experience: Love this place; it's clean, bright and fun. It's also huge. The front gives the false impression it's small inside ... wrong huge, great areas spread over two floors. It is the most immaculately clean gym I've ever attended, and there have been other people there every time. I just wish I lived closer.

Fantastic experience: Great workouts and great coaches!

Fantastic experience: Phil has really built a great community at Philosophy. I love all the HIIT, bootcamp and strength classes. Zalie is my favourite! She is super encouraging and has great energy even at 7am in the morning! and the playlist is

Fantastic experience: Officially a mindful yoga addict every Wednesday with Jeannine

Fantastic experience: My partner and I trained with Fiona for personal training for 8 months now. We both are more defined and all of our friends can tell we lost lots of weight and look fitter than before. I highly recommend Fiona - she always come prepared with a training plan and keep track of our progress, weakness, strength, and pay attention to our knee issue. By the way, I no longer have my jumpers knee issue as we strengthen our knee and glu and all related muscles. I feel so happy about that as I was so worried I can never play basketball with a healthy knee again. And she knows how to motivate you at the right moment. Also, the owner of the gym Phil is also a great guy!! All staff in the gym are very kind and welcoming. Love you all!

Fantastic experience: This is a great gym - very professionally run/organized, knowledgeable trainers and a well-maintained space with new equipment. The classes I've attended were circuit-based with a mix of weights/cardio but they have boxing and some other offerings as well.

Fantastic experience: Staff here is super friendly. Angela & Jessica’s classes are so fun! Tough workouts but really fun!!

Fantastic experience: Very friendly staff and instructors. Love the boxing classes here! Bring your own water bottle and ready for a great workout!

Fantastic experience: Great place. Very motivating. Many classes. Knowledgeable trainers. The space is divided over 2 floors. Ground floor is usually for strength related work with the barbells, pull up bars, etc. The second floor is for HiiT, Barre, yoga, and boxing. The boxing classes have the lighting dimmed and energetic music. The open room is also home to other athletic and dance groups - so check out what else is there.

Fantastic experience: Had a great experience working one on one with Mia in a personal training session. She was passionate, very well-informed and an excellent communicator.

Fantastic experience: Stop walking by and wondering if you should maybe sign up... and just DO it! Accessible classes (ie go at your own pace, modifications, etc) welcoming instructors (they will know your name after 1 class), and friendly people (a St. Clair community)! You are greeted at the door with a smile each time, it is so lovely. I cannot say enough good things about this gym. HIIT, yoga, boxing, strength...they've got it all. They have something for everyone. If you're looking for a sign to purchase a membership / class pack .... this is it. Trust me!

Fantastic experience: Challenging and inclusive fitness classes- I appreciate the range of classes offered and how well organized it is (love the app)! The teachers are friendly, and help correct form, and the community is welcoming. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Great gym and community!

Fantastic experience: Very good

Fantastic experience: Tried the LIFTCON. It was wild ‍♀️

Fantastic experience: Great classes and instructors with nice equipment and facilities.

Fantastic experience: Always excellent!

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym with amazing classes and coaches.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I love going to Philosophy fitness. We initially did the 10 day trial in August and loved the variety of classes, spacious studio, and the quality of the instructors. We love the boxing classes with Dustin, bootcamp classes with Jill and lift classes with Phil. They are really amazing instructors and we are very much looking forward to the new boxing gym. The members of the gym are courteous and it seems like a lot of them have built a social network. Definitely deserve five stars!

Fantastic experience: nice staff

Fantastic experience: Great fitness club. Love the boxing workout. Facilities are clean and well maintained. Good price point per class as well.

Fantastic experience: Great METCON class with Brooker Muir. Effective simple complexes combined with different options of cardio. Sleek place to workout, nice equipment and big variety and I've only tried one class. It's great to find a class that includes pull-ups in the workout. Will repeat the class for sure .

Negative experience: Buyer Beware: This gym will refuse to give you a copy of your agreement with purchase. I am submitting this review as 2 stars because the facilities seem new and well-maintained, and the staff seems genuinely friendly and eager to help get you in shape. They strongly emphasize community, which they mentioned several times. In that sense, other reviews seem to be on point. My experience was different. I walked in as a newbie, having researched the gym a bit, quite impressed and looking to buy a bundle of classes - the most expensive package, at $400 +HST for 25 classes, seemed like good value. At first, the owner was more than happy to show me around the busy gym, insisting that he had plenty of time to discuss my individual needs. When it came time to pay, however, I asked for a supporting document aside from just a receipt - some kind of terms, or agreement, something which would let me know what exactly I'm purchasing. He refused, saying they would only give a printer receipt. I asked if he wouldn't mind writing some kind of brief note explaining that I'm purchasing bona fide fitness services (my job has very stringent requirements for their fitness benefits) - it's at that point that he became a bit confrontational. He started by saying that I'm "being a bit much" by asking for this, which he repeated several times. When questioned about how, in front of staff and clients, he then asked me whether we were going to "do this," or whether we were going to "banter back and forth all night" (it had been about 20mins at this point) I was taken aback, but mentioned that I brought my credit card and was ready to pay, provided I could get the signed statement I knew I needed for work (even a simple Word doc would do.) He ended by saying that the note I was asking for was both unnecessary and, furthermore, a waste of his time, as he was very busy and had a lot to do. I had to walk out on a purchase I was sure I wanted to make because of that. I don't know what world he lives in that $400 +HST for a half hour of his time is not worthwhile, but it really spoiled the vibe of that place for me. Asking for a statement of some kind when paying for gym services is not unreasonable, and as a small business owner, the fact that he seems averse to documenting terms smells very fishy to me. It's a shame, because it otherwise really does seem like a 5-star facility. I was really excited to join, and really disappointed when this happened. Ah well.

Fantastic experience: This is by far the best gym I've been a member of. The instructors really care about their clients and create such a positive inclusive environment. Their classes are different than most classes I've tried at other gyms in that they're very creative in their exercises and more challenging in general. Such a great place to get fitter! And like Cheers, everybody knows your name.

Fantastic experience: Great workouts, great trainers, great community.

Fantastic experience: What a great place! I felt welcomed right from the outset by the owner, Phil and all the trainers, who are also very friendly. The facility is clean and very well set up with equipment etc. The classes are well prepared and the trainers are clear on the work load and exercises required while at the same time motivating. Very impressed and can highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: This facility is amazing!! I stumbled into it after a very trying experience at another gym. I was greeted with a warm smile and a very knowledgeable consultation. The owner Phil emailed me straight away and set me up. I have been training and taking classes for a few weeks now and feel better than I have in a long time. All of the trainers are top in there field I can promise you. Join this place it's trully an amazing experience . You are treated kindly and feel very welcomed and you will leave there sweating!!

Fantastic experience: Amazing customer service!

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym! Variety of workouts, clean gym, good vibes .The staff are welcoming, friendly, supportive, learn your name, and push you just enough during your work out. The showers are clean and private. The boxing classes use a bag, not air punching. Love this place.

Fantastic experience: If you're looking for personal training and fitness classes, no matter what your fitness level, this is your gym. The Trainers are qualified, engaging and personable. The classes are diverse, challenging and fun. The facility is first class and modern. But the best part about PF is there's ZERO attitude among staff and owner and they make sure everyone feels welcome and inspired. If you put the work in here you'll get results. Period. What else could you ask for?

Fantastic experience: great classes!

Fantastic experience: Finished a month of personal training with Brooker Muir and I feel great! He kept it interesting and pushed just enough. Everyone at Philosophy was friendly and it is a top notch facility. It's a good size and a welcoming atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: I'm super impressed with Phil. Well run training facility.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Toronto! I do the unlimited class's per month and I do the personal training sessions. I am completely obsessed and I have been reaching fitness goals like I never have in my life. The facility is top notch. The trainers are pro's in their field. They're attentive, professional, high energy and fun. The class's are the best I have ever been to in the city...by far. If you want results hit this gym up. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff with positive vibes.

Fantastic experience: Philosophy Fitness and its staff are terrific (and I've been to a lot of gyms!). The group classes are fun and challenging, and my hubs really enjoys his personal training sessions with Brooker. All equipment is brand new. The vibe is relaxed yet athletic, and never pretentious or fussy. Just straight up good workouts with great staff. Management is excellent and really responsive to feedback. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: The people here are easily approachable. The least intimidating gym I have ever been too. The trainer's are super knowledgeable, encouraging and fun. They want to help you feel good about your health goals, whatever that may be.

Fantastic experience: Great classes and friendly staff.
