Innovative Fitness Toronto (Ritz-Carlton)

Fantastic experience: I've been doing virtual personal training sessions, and the experience has been amazing. My trainer, Brianne, has been incredibly supportive and knowledgeable, tailoring workouts to meet my specific needs and goals. The convenience of training from home without sacrificing quality is unbeatable. The sessions are engaging, challenging, and fun, leaving me feeling stronger and more confident. If you're looking for a top-notch fitness experience, I highly recommend Innovative Fitness!

Fantastic experience: Friendly, accommodating, and great training sessions! A strong, diverse team of trainers that communicate well, and care about helping you in the way you want. They have a private training area in the building which includes a Pilates reformer machine they offer instruction on. The trainers adjust sessions based on injury with ease, and provide a great workout every time.

Fantastic experience: Scott is the MAN. Very knowledgeable and entertaining to workout with. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Scott and the whole Innovative Fitness team are hands down the best at what they do. They work with your boundaries and know how to push you for the best results!!

Fantastic experience: Innovative fitness has the best trainers in the city! I look forward to the workouts every session knowing im going to be motivated to do my best. The boxing with Jason is my favourite and always gets me excited to push my capabilities mentally and physically. These guys are true professionals with a relaxed atmosphere that makes you comfortable from the moment you step in the gym. Give them a try for all your fitness goals. You wont be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: Nice and quiet location, plenty of equipment for the personal trainers. Cristina is great.

Fantastic experience: super clean and well managed gym, did a small group class and it was awesome!! friendly staff too! :)

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love it here. The trainers are exceptional and cater the workouts to drive me to my best. I've been going here for 5 years and by far the best gym and environment in the city.

Fantastic experience: What a nice oasis in the middle of downtown! Gym is well managed and has everything I need for a good workout.

Fantastic experience: I've been working with IF & Ori for the last 5 months and have had an amazing experience! I've gotten noticeably stronger and I look forward to my IF sessions every time :) Everyone on the IF team is encouraging, motivating, and just fun to work with. I can't recommend IF enough for anyone looking to get back their gym motivation & improve their strength and fitness.

Fantastic experience: The entire team at Innnovative Fitness is very knowledgeable, patient, and a pleasure to train with. I have a personal trainer at home but enjoy working with other trainers while traveling. I alway gain new knowledge and useful training advice when I visit the Innovative Fitness facility in Toronto. The team is, quite simply, fantastic.

Fantastic experience: Incredible workouts. Scott is one of the best personal trainers I’ve worked with. He designed an appropriate routine to accommodate my injury and slowly build up strength. Would recommend him to anyone.

Fantastic experience: I really appreciate Anna Cristina, my trainer in The Ritz-Carlton, Toronto. She is extremely caring and professional, she is not only helped me going through a very dark time of my life, but she also guides me to know my body, get stronger each day and teach me all the techniques to make myself look better and feel better.

Fantastic experience: Scott is great to work with - basically the workout is tailored to your needs and goals. He is very motivational and inspires me to put in that little extra effort!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to innovative for about a year and a half now. I absolutely LOVE these trainers. Franco is who I've been working with, and not only have I reached and surpassed certain goals I set out to achieve, Franco has also taken the time to also ensure my form is correct and that I'm doing each movement correctly. Making sure i'm getting the most out of each work out. He's also helped me fix things like body alignment and posture for everyday well being. Not only do I feel better in my body, my body works better and I'm more aware of how it should move and feel.

Fantastic experience: Great service. Wonderful and very encouraging. Excellent Work outs. I would highly recommend IFT. Continuing to use their services regularly.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, good equipment, solid team! Scott is an amazing trainer, super motivator and focused on teaching and correcting technique! Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Amazing spot! One stop to meet all your fitness needs with luxury service. All top of the line equipment. Meticulously clean, respectful environment and Top Tier staff. Thank you IFToronto!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Jason for a couple of months now and am really happy with the results so far. Jason is an excellent trainer and takes the time to explain the work you’re doing and how it will impact your goals. The team at IF is always friendly and make you feel very comfortable - I would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I've been training at Innovative Fitness (Ritz-Carlton) with Ori for just over two months. As someone who hates exercise and only does it out of necessity, Ori's enthusiasm and professionalism have kept me motivated and engaged with challenging but rewarding workouts tailored to my fitness level. My chronic left shoulder pain has almost completely resolved since I began training and I've noticed a definite improvement in my overall mood and energy levels. I actually find myself looking forward to working out now, which would have been unthinkable to the past me. I've had a fantastic experience with Innovative Fitness so far and would highly recommend them for people looking for knowledgeable, yet approachable trainers.

Fantastic experience: Scott and Crispin are great to work with, and always help me get the most out of a lunchtime workout session!

Fantastic experience: I’ve had a great experience working out at Innovative Fitness located at the Ritz Carlton! The gym is boutique, has great variety and quality of equipment, feels private while still being quite spacious, and has a variety of excellent trainers that can meet my fitness needs. Everyone is respectful of space and equipment and it’s extremely cleanly too. The location is perfect for working downtown!

Fantastic experience: Have been training at this gym for over a year now and I cannot say enough good things about the staff and facilities! Scott has helped me achieve my fitness goals and has helped me train for various half marathons. The equipment is top of the line and the facilities are clean and well kept. The complimentary headphones are a great touch when you forget yours!

Fantastic experience: I couldn't be happier training at IF Ritz-Carlton. Clean facilities, towels and water always available. Those who train at this gym are respectful and polite towards each other - overall a nice & welcoming environment for all types and abilities. Access to the salt water pool and hot tub is by far the best perk when a member. It is a smaller gym with fewer pieces of equipment than your typical big box gyms, however this has not hindered my ability to get in a good training session with my personal IF trainer, Crispin. On that note, Crispin is exactly what you want in a personal trainer: punctual, great attitude; positive & upbeat, knowledgeable, accommodating, attentive to your needs and abilities and actively engaged in you and your hour-long session from start to finish. The biggest hurdle is always motivating yourself to want to go to the gym and Crispin makes this easy to do! I have welcomed the opportunity to better my health beginning in 2022 and I plan to continue on this health and well-being journey for the foreseeable future. Thank you IF for welcoming me into your fitness family!

Fantastic experience: Really nice gym and amazing personal trainers! Jason has been very helpful in getting me stronger, overcome pain and overall enjoy my works.

Fantastic experience: Amazing! They took my previous injuries into account while designing me a workout that was best to hit my goals. I spent about 2 months with them and my goals were hit!

Fantastic experience: My experience with Stacey has been absolutely amazing! She’s supported me in staying consistent, created routines that can be done at the gym, on-the-go or at home, and has made me feel more confident about myself. I always look forward to my sessions with her and have been able to see the results too.

Fantastic experience: I’ve had an amazing ongoing experience training with Scott. He’s created an excellent program that pushes me and suits my goals, all while being extremely fun and personable. I’ve also started to do boxing lessons with Jason, which I’ve absolutely loved so far. Highly recommend the Innovative Fitness team at Ritz-Carlton!

Fantastic experience: For about a year and a half, I have had the privilege of being trained by Scott Hayden at Innovative Fitness. From the outset, he was extraordinarily professional, energetic, and passionate about both my fitness and personal goals. When I started a new job and had to adjust my schedule, Scott worked with me to ensure that we could continue our training at times that were arguably more inconvenient for him. My appreciation and respect for his dedication and that of his team runs deep. Prior to beginning my training journey with Scott, I confess I was skeptical of the value a personal trainer could add to a workout. After all this time and multiple workouts by myself, I can conclusively say that you will reach your fitness goals much more swiftly and safely with any member of the Innovative Fitness team. I rarely write reviews, and certainly not for anything I do not wholeheartedly believe in. Innovative Fitness, however, is worthy of such praise. I hope whoever reads this is spurred on to begin their training journey with these fine folks.

Fantastic experience: Been training here for under a year. It’s a great environment and a comforting space. Franco has been very helpful at guiding me and helping me recover/get over injuries. With his help I have become much stronger and gained more confidence. Other reviews are correct, it really is a hidden gem!!!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Stacey DeHart for years and she’s amazing. I couldn't recommend her more highly she is incredibly skilled and easy to work with.

Fantastic experience: I have been working out with Stacey for many years. She is an excellent trainer that considers the unique needs of her clients and motivates them to achieve their best. She is the best!!!

Fantastic experience: My wife’s review won’t post so this is her review of Stacey at Innovative Fitness, The Ritz Toronto: “I have worked out with Stacey for over 15 years. I have seen her train everyone from super fit celebrities to seniors, and all people in between. She has trained me during my most fit years as well as through a few injuries and rehabilitations. She is very communicative and attentive to my health needs and goals. She is also extremely innovative with her exercises and helps me with the right food and health choices for my body type and lifestyle. I have followed her (literally) throughout her career and will continue to do so. Innovative Fitness is a great fit for her professionalism, enthusiasm and expertise!

Fantastic experience: Best kept secret in Toronto. IF provides a safe and convenient way to get workouts in and support personal goals. #NoPayneNoGain

Fantastic experience: Scott is one of the finest trainers I’ve worked with. Highly skilled, super encouraging and fun to work out with!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend IF if you are looking for a fun and challenging addition to your workout routine. Workouts are tailored to your goals and really help take your fitness to the next level, with a knowledgeable and encouraging team of trainers.

Fantastic experience: Enjoyed working with Scott the personal who addressed my physical needs as well as limitations , Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Had a workout session with Scott. He's excellent! Strong attention to detail and aware of the most up-to-date fitness literature. As a clinician would strongly recommend him as a personal trainer. Overall, a great guy!

Fantastic experience: A hidden gem in downtown Toronto! The staff is friendly, they say hi to everyone who walks in, but more importantly they are sincere. Both Ryan and Scott genuinely care about their clients. I train with Ryan, who has been helping me achieve my fitness goals. He's great at keeping the workout session fun while staying focused ensuring I complete the reps and sets. I haven't enjoyed working out at a gym as much as I do here.

Fantastic experience: Ryan and the team at Innovative Fitness are knowledgeable, energetic, and fun. During personal training sessions Ryan was able to build challenging and progressive workouts that helped me build confidence, skills, and achieve my workout goals. The team is very consultative, adaptable, and offers a range of different programs and services that can be tailored to your individual goals. I’d definitely recommend if you’re looking to explore personal training to start or augment your existing workout routines.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Innovative Fitness for over 10 years. During this time I continue to be impressed by the quality of training provided by professional trainers. My body training has increased my well-being. I would recommend that anyone looking for great trainers consider Innovative Fitness.

Fantastic experience: This place is the creme de la creme of fitness in the city. Quality personal training, professional and upscale, great management. Equipment is top notch. Far superior to many other gyms in the city. Must check this out.

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Scott for a year now, Scott really cares and goes above and beyond to help you achieve your goals. I Highly recommend Scott and the IF team for training and get in shape

Fantastic experience: Scott & the team at innovative fitness have been a pleasure to work with. I've tried a number of the 'top' personal training studios in Toronto and I have to say that the location, level of personalized service, and healthy approach that you get working with this team are unparalleled. They use gradual increases over time to keep you coming back without any injury or extreme tactics, which is a much better approach than the other trainers I have worked with. I always look forward to my workouts. Thanks Scott & IF!

Fantastic experience: Thank you for the amazing virtual pump-up workout. It was a great way to kick start the weekend! Looking forward to many more FUEL sessions together. - Team W Toronto

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Innovative Fitness for over a year and it has been a total lifesaver during the pandemic. Virtual workouts with Scott have kept me feeling healthy, energized and grounded in an otherwise stressful time. I have seen fantastic results in my strength, balance and endurance and continue to feel like I make progress each week. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a program that is customizable and focused on keeping your body strong and healthy in the long term.

Fantastic experience: I have been training online with Scottie since the pandemic started. My goal was to replace the fitness I was getting from twice weekly visits to GoodLife for stretching and weights. Instead, Scott has taken me on a journey which has improved my core strength and balance , while maintaining my strength. As a side benefit, I have lost a few pounds and my knee soreness is almost gone. Scott is reliable and well prepared for each session. Over time, he has thoughtfully modified the exercises in response to my improving fitness. I also appreciate Scott’s enthusiasm and encouragement.

Fantastic experience: Have been training at IF for over 10 years. The best trainers and workout environment on the street. IF is a part of my lifestyle.

Fantastic experience: I have been a client with Innovative Fitness for over 10 years now and I would look no further to find a better fitness-lifestyle company to round out your health plan. I run a very successful real estate company on the westside of Vancouver and accordingly my weeks fill up with appointments back to back. For me, having a preset workout schedule allows me to schedule in the crucial fitness required to keep fit and competitive in todays business world. Innovative trainers are excellent in customizing a plan that helps meet your goals from running a marathon to building your upper body physique. The trainers are a group of fine young men and women who believe in what they are doing. They listen to you and provide a fun and happy environment to workout in. They monitor your progress and curtail your workouts to strengthen your areas of weakness. They carry a wealth of knowledge on the body offering excellent advice for injury avoidance and repair. IF will make you stronger, feel better, give you more energy to get through your busy weeks. I could not recommend a better way to allocate part of your health budget towards overall conditioning and fitness.

Fantastic experience: The team and facility at Innovative Fitness are simply awesome. The amenities and layout are world-class, but even better is the group of trainers who are transforming lives. Most recently I've trained with Rad Detchev, Andrew Farenech, Albert Rocha and Karen Steele, who all customize workouts to ensure a challenging, fun and safe environment. Can't say enough about the experience - shout outs to Emma Dolphin and of course Josip Maras.

Fantastic experience: The coaches at IF are top notch, well educated, and caring. They provide a tailored approach to fitness and well being which helps you stay motivated and reach your goals. The atmosphere and enthusiasm is infectious.

Fantastic experience: I've worked with several of the trainers at Innovative Fitness including Matija, Aaron, Emma and Mike. They are all professionals with a passion for fitness. They cater to your specific needs and make the workout enjoyable, you hardly realize you're working out! Shout out also to Julie who makes booking a very easy process! Great gym!!

Fantastic experience: Very experienced trainers and very professional! Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to IF Toronto since May 2015 while recovering from a cracked ankle bone. The support and attention to my injury was exceptional. All the trainers are personable, professional and work with you to set and achieve your goals.

Fantastic experience: Best gym I've ever worked out at. The guys and gals there are awesome. Pushing me hard but not too hard to the point of injury. I recommend these guys for training and management of your health. It's like a family. Michael.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful experience, very knowledgable staff that understand all types of training and fitness approaches. Also happens to be a beautiful facility, well maintained, great equipment - cardio, conditioning, strength, pilates, rowers.

Fantastic experience: Incredible staff, personalized approach to your fitness and overall health.
