BFT Canary District

Fantastic experience: I'm now in my 4th month of BFT, and I am really enjoying it. No matter your fitness level, the gym is inclusive and the instructors look after you and give decent feedback and encouragement. In fact, the main reason I keep going back is because of the instructors, they are helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. I am seeing physical results as well, and doing exercises that I didn't even know existed prior to joining. Can't wait to see where I'm at this time next year.

Negative experience: I think it’s absolutely disgusting for a business to advertise a free first class then go ahead and automatically enroll you into a class that was not previously agreed upon. I was excited to try this place out, but didn’t have time this week, but received confirmation for a booking I did not make. When I tried to cancel, the free credit disappeared. I would steer clear of this shady business. (Date and time stamps in email confirmation below) Do better.

Fantastic experience: Nice spot. Great staff! Similar to F45. Only thing I would recommend would be to get a few fans inside.

Fantastic experience: It’s such a great experience. I earned seven free lessons through spinning wheels, Justin was very welcoming and introduced everything to me. My first lesson was on this Monday, being there the first time was a bit overwhelming, but Sarah really helped a A LOOOOT! She noticed that I was asking about each equipment so she approached me and explained to me what part of the muscle was being targeted. It really helped mind muscle connection. Apart from this, it’s also very clean and organized. Overall, highly recommend!

Negative experience: The entry-level nature of the classes was not what I anticipated, especially given my experience with other class-style workout sessions in the GTA. Despite having ample equipment, the classes leaned more towards a social atmosphere, with participants engaging in conversations rather than focusing on the workout intensity. Additionally, the lack of active coaching and assistance for modifications contributed to a less motivating environment, with coaches appearing somewhat indifferent.

Fantastic experience: love this gym, the community, the workouts and the team. my favourite group fitness gym in toronto!!! you'll love it, i promise :)

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Fun variety of workouts and each day is a new adventure. The staff is very welcoming and friendly and so are the members. It's a great sense of community. For someone who's never done group fitness(other than yoga) I highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I'm new to BFT but I have no doubt I will be coming back for more for years to come; I'm thoroughly enjoying the challenge. Being probably one of the oldest members, I always feel welcomed by everyone in the room training together and well supported by the coaches. It's a really cool collaborative approach to fitness and, in a very short time being there, I can easily see how my fitness goals are definitely within reach. It's been a fantastic experience and based on what I hear others pay to belong to Barry's, F45 or other group fitness franchises like Goodlife, BFT is really excellent value.

Fantastic experience: I love their classes, instructor, music and Justin is very understanding, I appreciate him.

Fantastic experience: Very friendly staff, the classes are engaging and decently challenging. Even though you're in a room full of people, there's always someone walking around to make sure you have the right form. Highly recommend this spot to anyone considering to join!

Fantastic experience: Amazing and challenging work outs! I really enjoyed the DJ set in class today - such a vibe!

Fantastic experience: I drag myself in after a long day to work out and come out feeling pumped and a million dollars. Love the vibes here. Staff is amazing. So much fun.

Fantastic experience: Best Group Fitness Facility available.

Fantastic experience: I recently joined BFT gym and I have to say, it's been one of the best decisions I've made for my fitness journey. As someone who can get intimidated in a gym environment, I was pleasantly surprised by the welcoming and inclusive atmosphere at BFT. The knowledgeable instructors take the time to explain each movement in detail, and the TVs at each station showing modifications and demonstrations make it easy to follow along. What I love most about BFT is their community-focused approach. They genuinely care about their members and are always finding ways to give back to the community. It's clear that they're more than just a gym - they're a place where people come together to support each other on their fitness journeys. Located in the Canary District, BFT is a lovely addition to the area. I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking for a supportive and inclusive fitness community.

Negative experience: Don’t even think of joining. They charge ‘hidden money’ and don’t return until months till you threaten to sue. And there’s a racist trainer there (Jonathan) who makes fun of Indians when they squat casually saying ‘that’s what you Indians do back home’. Sad experience, never going back there ever

Fantastic experience: Great place to workout in the distillery! Each movement is explained very well and all coaches are amazing very inclusive and great facilities. Definitely recommend

Fantastic experience: The training program is really good and if you put in the effort you will get the result on both strength gains and cardio conditioning.

Fantastic experience: BFT has become the highlight of my day! Its a really great gym, with really great coaches, really great workouts and a really great community! The workouts can be tough, but the trainers on the floor make sure you get the most out of the 50 minute class and before you even know it, class is done! 10/10 recommend BFT to anyone who wants to improve their overall fitness, wether you just started working out or if you’re a seasoned athlete, you’ll get results!

Fantastic experience: As I approach my 100th class with BFT, this is without question the best group fitness facility I have attended (comparing this to F45, Barry’s, Sweat and Tonic, and more). There are always multiple trainers during each class to drive motivation, fix form, and add some challenges if needed. The gym itself feels spacious even when the class is full. I love the community they have created.

Fantastic experience: By far the best gym in the city! BFT has created an amazing community where everyone can feel welcomed and pushed to their limits to be the best version of themselves. The coaches are there to help you every step of the way to achieve your goals. Anyone looking to try a new gym or want to be part of an awesome family, look no further!

Fantastic experience: I love BFT! You feel welcomed as soon as you get in. The training programs are top notch and the venue is insane! It’s been exciting to see everyone’s progress. This is a studio you definitely want to try out regardless of your previous training experience.

Fantastic experience: Great gym with amazing energy! All the coaches are very helpful and technique focussed plus they really make an effort to get to know you. I like the mix of different types of workouts. Super flexible membership if you’re out of town for a week or a month you can easily pause with no penalties!

Fantastic experience: Amazing space, environment, coaching and community!

Fantastic experience: Love this place! Justin is the best!! So welcoming and inclusive, can't wait to go again. Thank you for a great workout.

Fantastic experience: Home away from home , amazing trainers , very friendly , they call you by your name , you are part of the family . Highly recommended . Beautiful neighborhood, you can’t go wrong , after a week of workout , my grey hair is almost gone .

Fantastic experience: The best gym!

Fantastic experience: Having been a member of a number of well-known gyms in Toronto, BFT is hands down my favourite. The trainers and staff are friendly, energetic, genuinely care about members, and go out of their way to make BFT feel like a community. Every class is executed with proper instruction, with multiple trainers walking the floor to suggest modifications, help make adjustments to form, or just give encouragement to keep everybody motivated. No cliques, no pretentiousness, no favouritism – everybody at BFT is there to improve their fitness, and have a great time.

Fantastic experience: Unreal workout, great energy, coaches are top notch. Highly recommend to anyone looking to try a new take on group fitness.

Fantastic experience: This Gym is the best!

Negative experience: Very one-size fits all training. No room for body inclusivity. If you're looking for a corporate-based training then this place is for you.

Fantastic experience: Very data-driven, helps you track your lifting progression periodically, and offers multiple time slots per day which is perfect for anybody whose schedule can get a bit unpredictable sometimes.

Negative experience: Very unprofessional and scam filled practices. Do not give them your phone number or email unless you plan on being secretly signed up for a membership you never agreed to. Absolutely avoid this gym!!!

Fantastic experience: Early Review Engaging gym with different types of workouts daily. An eight-week program follows, and you progressively grow within the program. There is a heart beat measurement and tracker on screen. To me it keeps me accountable and allows me to follow the program. Fully optional. There is always 2-4 trainers with each class and they are consistently helping you with technique and safety. I found this gyms classes more focused on doing it right and safe compared to rushing you through the class. This might be due to the things we are doing. The classes are very different each day in my experience so far, some days like strength is all lifting (traditional gym) some days is a mix of cardio and lifting (similar to Orange theory) and some days it’s all cardio. Tons of cool machines and varied exercises! Will update after 8 weeks

Fantastic experience: Did a tour before the renovation was completed, did a free body composition test and the staff were friendly. They are looking to get members before they open and it's a good campaign
