Fit 1 Bootcamp

Fantastic experience: Great place to work out and get inspired to train to your optimum level and capabilities. Len is a masterful coach, he guides you to push through your limits with motivation and inspiration.

Fantastic experience: Regarding the KID'S PROGRAM (Fit Kids) My kid’s review: “IT’S GREAT!” My COVID update: During lockdowns my kid still worked out, he got stronger and creative (such as parkour in the house), and kept up his energy and motivation during this profoundly boring and lonely time. All on his own. Because of Fit1. Len is with us every day, on-line with custom workouts on zoom, youtube and email, even when the gym is closed. Len, you have my deepest thanks and utmost RESPECT My parent review: Fit1 is a true WORKOUT GYM FOR OLDER KIDS. I searched for two years and visited every gym until I found this incredible place for my son. Thank God I didn’t give up - 100% success. To clarify - the Youth-Fit program at Fit1 is NOT a "gym class." It is a high-quality, full-on cross-fit workout, providing professional equipment and professional body development for age 10-15, under the direction of a master bodybuilder. And with joy for both girls and boys - think of the the way you feel at a great party or pick-up game with your good friends. In our case my son didn’t really gel with either Martial Arts or team sports - mean and mouthy kids, or too much waiting and down-time, or he needed skills, expenditures and time that I couldn't provide for him to be competitive (single mom). Kids "group" programs, on the other hand, seemed baby-ish and often run by immature leaders. About age 9 my son said that he'd like to work out with weights at a regular gym. I was so happy to hear that! I was worried about all the scary news about depression and obesity in kids and teenagers. You can’t blame the kids - screen-time is endless and seductive - but I felt my duty is to give my child the BEST CHANCE for self-pride and good health as he got older. But business-gyms would not allow kids to work out. Understandable but sad. Those places that offered kids' classes, produced random schedules with no concept of consistency or self-discipline. In comes Len. I didn’t know anything about him or the gym but I called to take a shot & see he could be my kid’s personal trainer (we were already defeated & my son didn’t want to go anywhere). Len said NO, but MAYBE he could join the YouthFit class. Huh? Len said THE OPPOSITE of all the other gyms, that were pressuring me to sign-up and dazzle me with memberships. At Fit1 we had to go in for a meeting first; I guess for Len to evaluate our personality and sincerity. Len did not want our money. He wanted to see if he could work WITH us. I admit I was put-off and nervous. We did not get a yes-or no-answer, just a trial class. Which led to a tentative yes, because now I realize that it’s very hard to tell whether a kid is willing and able to try their best. Fast-forward three years – here we are still. Today my son is self-motivated, highly skilled, super-strong, positive, self-disciplined and gorgeous. He works hard, and I’m not involved at all. The accomplishment is humbling. I COULD NOT BE A HAPPIER OR PROUDER PARENT. It was hard for me to write these reviews because the gift here is overwhelming and hard to put to words. So I'm saying that you should try Fit1 if your girl or boy needs fitness or even if your kid is shy or scared or limited or needs help with their confidence. Don’t forget that our kids are quickly becoming young men and women – they worry about their appearance and constantly see adults working out and showing off their bodies, which I think is pretty intimidating. And then kids get to this age where they need to feel respected and treated with the same civility as adults. They don’t want to be forced and cannot be talked-down to because they have all the information out there – and they are smart enough to see the difference between an expert and a babysitter. They need to be safe, secure, and have a fun time. They need a sensitive adult to notice their struggles. But I also think that kids need the serious expertise and pushing that only a master can provide; someone to truly help them realize their potential. Len gives them ALL THAT. Your child will flourish.

Fantastic experience: The kids program has been a life changer for both of my kids. Aside from the physical improvement and overall health, they’ve grown a strong sense of confidence, self worth and awareness of what it means to be healthy. They push themselves every class which gives them the mental fortitude to push through every day challenges and gives them the advantage to compete at school and on their sports teams. My kids come to this program as a means of training in their baseball off season. Since they’ve started training at Fit1 they have increased their focus and confidence to compete with other kids, so much so that they are now 2 of the strongest and dominant players on their teams. There’s nothing out there that compares to this program for kids and no one else like Len. The dedication Len makes to his members is reflected in the commitment and the kids bring to each class. They work hard, have fun and make new friends. Thanks Len!

Fantastic experience: I started at Fit 1 Bootcamp about a year and a half ago and cannot say enough good things about my experience there. Len is a great instructor who cares about the well being and fitness of each member. When I became pregnant last February, Len helped me navigate my journey every step of the way, allowing me to continue working out for most of my pregnancy. I feel that this definitely contributed to me being back in the gym at 7 weeks post-birth and back to loving my time at Fit 1. Thanks Len!

Fantastic experience: LEN is great trainer . he will keep yourself involved and committed . he ensures the workouts are done properly and never ever gets tired of correcting each individual in the boot camp . The bootcamp timings are excellent it fits for most of the people . what are you waiting for ? Just pick your phone and book an appointment .. and feel great :)

Fantastic experience: I am a physical therapist working in the state of Michigan and I have been training at FIT 1 for almost five years. My wife discovered it and told me how much she loved it and now I feel the same way. I am really impressed with owner Len Benoit’s approach to “boot camp” style training. For those that may be interested in joining, I have summarized below the reasons why I think FIT 1 is a great choice for your fitness needs. THE FACILITY FIT 1 has one of the best functional training facility that I have ever seen. It is well equipped with a wide variety of equipment in multiples to easily accommodate even large classes of 20 or more. It is always clean and everything is always in perfect working order which is also testament to the relative simplicity of its equipment. The floor space is large, the ceiling is high and the space has an uncrowded and airy feel. THE TRAINING APPROACH FIT 1 training is based on some basic principles: Variety: work outs are really various which keeps them from getting boring and repetitive Organization: all workouts are well described and communicated. All workouts include both warm-up and warm down phases. Progressive challenge: exercises are broken down into beginner, intermediate and advanced versions, depending on an individual's fitness level Safety - exercises are taught with emphasis on technique. Once technique is mastered, intensity is slowly ramped up. Workouts are intense, but the goal is not to wreck you. Comprehensive total fitness - there are few activities that can really claim to be a total approach to fitness . If you are going to FIT1 three times per week, you really don’t need to do anything else. All body parts are targeted: legs, arms, core and mind. Heart rate is kept at a moderate to high level throughout, so there is always a cardiovascular fitness element at play. THE OWNER Coaching - Len Benoit brings a serious yet low key approach to training. Everyone gets individualized help and advice. He does not run his boot camp like a gulag, but he expects you to work hard and do your best. He plays music. He tries to keep it fun. The Vibe - there is a social aspect to the club. It is not just a place where people work out, it is a place where friends meet, where people get to know each other. There are fundraising efforts, group events like doing the Tough Mudder team run, and even a few parties. Participation in these extracurricular aspects is optional. Inclusivity - members range widely in ability and commitment and Len caters to them all. I recommend FIT 1 for anyone that wants to try something new and rewarding. Taking your fitness goals to the next level sometimes requires a new environment, a new approach, a new coach. It all comes down to hard work, but give yourself the best chance to succeed.

Fantastic experience: Love my morning workouts at Fit 1 with Len! They are well designed classes to make you strong and fit and they never get boring! A life changer for me!

Fantastic experience: Awesome boot camp. Instructor is amazing and works with each of you during group classes. Great environment and every one is very friendly.

Fantastic experience: Saturday workouts are always killer workouts. Len is a great trainer who will always challenge you and push you to come out of your comfort zone. The workouts are great and supervised. Thank you Len, I feel much stronger now than before :)

Fantastic experience: The best trainer that helped me get in shape

Fantastic experience: I've been to many bootcamps but Fit 1 was the most personalized group training I have ever done. Len brings elements from many different disciplines of physical and mental fitness into the workouts and assessments. He can figure out very quickly what you need, so you can follow him blindly, or like me you can do your own concurrent research and realize how knowledgeable Len is on the scientific theories that connect mind, body and the environment. I'm very thankful to him for creating such excellent programs for us. >>> Totally winning at getting fitter with his support each day! <<<

Fantastic experience: Love it very welcoming and supporting

Fantastic experience: It all started when Len said, "I think you can do this". He was talking about my desire to get lean and strong. I was confident, but those words stayed with me every step of the way. At age fifty-six, I found myself ready to shed weight that had slowly piled on over the past decades. I'd made a few attempts to "get back in shape", but nothing ever stuck. I joined Fit 1Bootcamp and with Len's support and guidance, I got the lean, strong body I wanted. There's so much variety in his workouts that you're always having fun as you challenge yourself. He's there to educate, support and encourage you to do a little bit better, step by step, and find out how strong you can be. At the end of each workout you feel like a superhero. Len helps you to do the exercises properly while making sure you're challenging yourself. All the while there's a positive vibe in the gym that everyone can't help feeling. You leave your worries at the door and for the time you're there you're taking care of yourself and having a blast doing it. The guidance that I received with my diet was an unexpected perk. Len's advice was life-changing for me without being preachy. He's very knowledgeable about exercise and healthy eating and welcomes your questions. He also cares deeply about his clients and roots for their success right along with them. I'm eternally grateful for what I've accomplished at Fit1 and wish everyone could experience this. Ps. Karma Bootcamp is on every Saturday at 10 a.m. and for a $5 donation (to help buy specialized equipment for kids who need it) you get an incredible workout. It's such an amazing way to start the weekend!

Fantastic experience: One of the best fitness routines that are available for kids! It is actual a cross fit for children. The kids sweat, their muscles hurt and me as a parent can see the difference at my child's appearance, confidence and strength. Price wise is pretty good compared to the market as it offers a program three times a week. Bonus: the program does not stop at summer time like most extra curricular activities! So the kids keep on being healthy and active during the summer months as well! Thank you Len!

Fantastic experience: This place is amazing with great workouts. The instructor is amazing and he encourages you to push your limits while ensuring you are safe and have the right postures. I would highly recommend this place!

Fantastic experience: My experience at Fit 1 has been very good so far! Len is a good trainer and I think I have found a way to stay fit without being bored at a gym. :)

Fantastic experience: I have been to a few boot camps and Fit1 stands superior. Len’s workouts are sick!! He has a move for every animal and almost every country. From scorpion turn to bear crawl to “Turkish get-up” which all have instant impact on your body. Throughout the workouts I often debate why am I doing this to myself, but keep returning on a weekly basis. Len, the trainer is super attentive to all in the class regardless of the fitness level, shape or size.

Fantastic experience: 39 years of being a tub of goo. 12 months with Len, basically a T1000 now. No joking, the best thing I could have done for fitness and health.

Fantastic experience: Len at Fit 1 bootcamp is the BEST trainer in Toronto! His workouts are fun and deliver fantastic results!

Fantastic experience: Amazing work outs fast results and high energy classes. One hour seems like minutes. The instructor watches everyone and it's better then personal training. It's a must everyone should try it once very addictive. You will never get bored every class is different.

Fantastic experience: Having experienced multiple trainers throughout my travels I can, without reservation, say that Len is the best I've worked with. His charisma, care for my individual growth, acumen, and amazing depth of understanding is now the standard by which I measure instructors. In the past five months I've gotten my old body back, lost a ton of fat percentage, and my cardiovascular ability is at levels they haven't been in years. Thank you Len for caring so much about my health and personal growth. You've made a true impact on my life.

Fantastic experience: Great for kids

Fantastic experience: Fit1 Bootcamp is tremendous and I don't think I could speak more highly of Len. When I broke my wrist over the summer I thought I was going to be out of action for ages and was quite depressed about it. As soon as I was able Len got me coming out and put together programs, or made substitutions to existing ones for me so that I could start building back my cardio, my core, and other muscles without using my arm at all. Len has been encouraging, motivating, and the workouts have been tough (if they were easy they wouldn't be work, right?). I've felt my body coming back together in the relatively short time since I got back to it. This past weekend I rode 200KM on my bicycle in a charity ride. Thats a little over two months since I broke my wrist, and only a month since I've been back to working out with Len. I couldn't have done it without him. Simon

Fantastic experience: I am a very happy client! I have been going to Fit1bootcamp for 5 years. Thanks to the great workouts i feel strong and full of energy. Len is a caring fitness professional. He has helped me to work though some old injuries and enable me to overcome them and get back to being fit. With great confidence i recommend Fit1bootcamp.

Fantastic experience: I came to "Fit 1 Bootcamp" having spent a large amount of time training on my own. Up until that point, I had achieved solid results, but was looking to take my fitness to a new level. Len changed the game completely. He challenges all of his clients to perform at their very best, providing a tremendous amount of personal attention and support. His workouts are always unique and fun. There's a real feeling of family at "Fit 1 Bootcamp" and I'm grateful for all the new friends I've made. If you're considering joining, I highly recommend coming in on a Saturday morning for "Karma Bootcamp". It's a fantastic workout, all proceeds go to charity and it gives a solid introduction to Len's style. All I can say is, there's no better way to get fit. Hands down, the BEST place to train in Toronto.

Fantastic experience: Fit 1 Boot Camp and personal trainer Len Benoit are the real deal. I’ve tried other boot camps in the past, but felt they were too rigid for me and also that the instructor was unable to give me individual attention or instruction during the workouts. Fit 1 is different – it’s challenging, fun and Len makes sure to give everyone in the group attention, encouragement and help. Just when you think - I CANNOT DO. ONE MORE PUSH-UP! There’s Len, appearing behind you like magic, guiding and encouraging you on. And miraculously you find you are able to do another push up. In fact you might be able to DO quite a few more push-ups. The classes have a diverse group of people (men, women, older, younger, etc) at varied levels of fitness. There is a place for everyone in this class. I felt comfortable from day one, because Len has created a great atmosphere and workout experience for all. I’ve been at FIT 1 for just under three months and can already see the positive changes in my body and energy levels. My body has changed, grown stronger, and my clothes fit better. I feel so lucky to have such a fantastic workout place right in my neighbourhood.

Fantastic experience: What do I like about this place? Everything!! Len, the owner and chief trainer, of course, sets the tone. What really impressed me right at the beginning, when he opened his gym, was how he introduces all the members of his gym to each other. He does this at every gathering to be sure we all know each other. When does that ever happen in the city? Before you know it, you belong! He is the kindest, coolest, most sincere and fun trainer there ever was! Not only is he extremely knowledgeable, he is encouraging and supportive. He often reminds us of our goals. I also like how he changes the workouts daily, so every day is a new challenge. You will thank yourself AND Len, if you join this gym!

Fantastic experience: Been going there for a couple of years. Len is a great trainer (and owner), great atmosphere, people and equipment.

Fantastic experience: It's been almost a year and a half since I joined Fit 1 Bootcamp. Since then Len has incorporated significantly new routines, added more equipment and fitness classes for women and kids. This place is growing and every workout I attend is challenging. I am proud to be a part of this community! Kudos Len!

Fantastic experience: I haven't really been active since early high school when I was a dancer. I've been skeptical about joining a gym since a poor experience with Goodlife. I saw the 21 Day Jump Start Bootcamp sign and I took the bait. I'm so glad I did. I have already been eating better, I've been sleeping better and I've been feeling better. I do 2-3 classes a week and it's made such a difference in toning my body and boosting my confidence. After the 21 days, I jumped to sign up for a monthly membership. It's hard but it's so much fun. Len is motivating and never "yells" at you for taking quick breaks. He really works to each individual's fitness level and is always available to talk about your personal goals and fitness concerns. Never has drowning in my own sweat been so much fun!

Fantastic experience: Fit 1 bootcamp is a game changer. The program caters to everyone with classes offered throughout the week to accommodate any schedule. Better yet, all of the exercises are presented in a variety of difficulties, so it is easy to challenge yourself whether you are just beginning or have previous workout experience. Len, the owner and lead trainer, is committed to helping you reach your goals, giving you that extra push when needed. His bootcamps are well structured to work the entire body and are constantly changing to ensure your mind and body don't get bored. He also brings a wealth of knowledge on the nutritional side of healthy, active living, rounding out the experience. Words are great, but it really is worthwhile attending some classes to find out what it's all about. You will quickly see the loyal following Fit 1 (Len) has built up - I still see the same faces show up multiple times a week that I saw my first time out, 8 months ago. Great work, Len.

Fantastic experience: Great club to join to start working on your body when you have excuses to not go to gym! Here you will find personal trainer LEN, close friends, great atmosphere, super workout, you don't have count the minutes till the end! For me it is very important, I am lazy to spend my time on me myself :) Better then gym for sure, better then aerobic class for sure, better then your "morning promises to jogging" for sure, better then anything else I had before, still worse then my skiing (fresh area and just you and forest great relax from 24/7 working schedule), but season is over and I have to look forward to this opportunity until my biking season wouldn't be around. Recommending this for every woman who is still in shape to handle the pushups (surprise!! I was able to do couple times after couple classes), great energy-collector and calories-spender. Decided to share the experience because I found this club online by accident, wish to share this to have another girls aware that it is some interesting fitness clubs around the area

Fantastic experience: Fit 1 Bootcamp is awesome!! I'd recommend anyone looking for a bootcamp class to try his first, you'll love it!! :)

Fantastic experience: Great value and just the kick in the arse I needed to start living a healthier lifestyle
