MOVE fitness club

Expérience fantastique: The classes are awesome and I love all the instructors. The change room and shower area are super nice too. I have never looked forward to showering at the gym but now I kind of do.

Expérience fantastique: Fantastic on-boarding to the program. Knowledgeable and genuinely friendly coaches. Small class sizes. I consistently learn how to better my training and technique with every class. A warm and friendly community. It’s inspiring to be around so many strong females working towards their own individual fitness journeys. One of my new favourite places to be.

Expérience fantastique: I highly recommend Move! Classes here gave me courage to lift headier after years of feeling too intimidated to try. The instructors are extremely helpful and the workouts are creative and fun.

Expérience fantastique: This review is long overdue! I have been working out at MOVE for 2-3 years now and absolutely love it. No smells, no mansplaining, and no pretentiousness. It's just a safe and supportive environment with motivating coaches to help you hit your fitness goals. Once you come here you'll never wanna go back to a co-ed gym.

Expérience fantastique: If you’re looking for a women-only, women-lead gym with an absolutely amazing community… you HAVE to check out MOVE Fitness Club Toronto. The workouts, the coaches, and the community of women is truly something special. If you have been questioning checking it out and need a sign… LET THIS BE YOUR SIGN!!!

Expérience fantastique: I’m an older woman who has never been a gym goer. The thought of it terrified and intimidated me. After a breast cancer scare, I wanted to make some lifestyle changes, including exercise - and I found my place at MOVE. :) This gym is the most welcoming and encouraging community. The coaches are genuine, friendly and supportive. They provide options so that I’m working at my own pace which has helped me get steadily stronger. It’s never a competition - and the other members will even cheer you on! To be honest - I don’t know that I will ever “love” going to the gym - but what I do love is how I feel at the end of a class! Beyond just the satisfaction of my body being sweaty and tired after MOVING - my mental health is better. I’m more positive, I eat healthier, and I am sooo proud of myself for showing up! Thank you MOVE for helping me be a stronger and better version of myself!!

Expérience fantastique: I went to Move for a trial class with a friend who is a member and signed up right away. The programming is terrific and the facilities are great, but most importantly the vibe is awesome. I’ve felt so welcomed and encouraged by all the coaches, Kelly and the other members. Bonus points for having everything you need if you want to train for Hyrox and similar functional fitness pursuits - assault runners, bikes, sleds, ski ergs, rowers, etc. 10/10!!!

Expérience fantastique: I started with the MOVE trial experience only 6 weeks after giving birth as a way to "get back out there". I felt so out of shape and was scared I'd be a fish out of water in this group weight-based training. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by Belinda who got to know me, my goals and was so warm and inviting. Over the course of the two week intro, each coach made an effort to make me feel welcome and offered modifications so that I could safely progress within my limits. I love the workouts so much- I had never worked on a rig/barbell in my life since I was always too intimidated in the gym- and these women made it so fun! Great variety, with options to modify as needed or push yourself. I eagerly joined when my trial was over. I am now 17 weeks postpartum and I am feeling so STRONG. I have seen so much progress in my body already and am beginning to feel like myself again. The women in the gym have also become friends and feel like a little community rallying around me. If you're looking for a gym that feels homey, non judgemental and will make you stronger and more confident- this is it. I am so grateful for the women at MOVE. Also- bonus- the co-ed conditioning sessions on Sunday morning were a lot of fun for my husband to join. Makes a great little date!!!

Expérience fantastique: After trying out several fitness studios in the area, I can definetly say this is one of my favorites. The classes and programs designed perfectly—they push you without feeling overwhelming, making them enjoyable to follow. The trainers and entire team are putting in the effort to ensure members have the best possible experience. I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking for a supportive and motivating environment to reach their fitness goals.

Expérience fantastique: MOVE has been pivotal in my concussion recovery. I especially credit the expertise, support, and kindness of Coach Brianna; she is absolutely fabulous and I’m getting stronger thanks to all she’s taught me!

Expérience fantastique: In town for a month and joined Move because of its facility and small size. Don’t expect a big box gym but instead a great warehouse like facility that focuses on function. Friendly female oriented environment where folks respect that you’re there to train and not get hit on.

Expérience fantastique: I’m so thankful that after years of seeing this gym in my community, I finally decided to give it a try - and I’m so glad I did. After a few months at MOVE, I am feeling so much stronger and enjoying my workouts so much more. The coaches truly care and work very hard to give a personalized experience - the little things like greeting you with energy to remembering your name create such a rich experience. The workouts are very creative and challenge you in a good way. I feel comfortable working out at MOVE as it is a women’s only community and everyone is so supportive of each other. Thank you MOVE, for all that you do! Your members appreciate you!!

Expérience fantastique: Joining MOVE is one of the best investments I've ever made in myself. The group classes initially appealed to me as a way to stay accountable without the expense of a personal trainer. I was pretty clueless on my first day, but it only took a few classes for my gym anxiety to transform into a bit of confidence. Now, I look forward to every class. What I appreciate most about MOVE is the programming. Get Strong is an incredibly efficient 60 minute workout. The programs are designed to strengthen holistically, so showing up regularly allows you to develop many different functional areas. The changes to my body have been remarkable in all ways - strength, mobility, how it looks, how it feels, how it performs in other activities... the list goes on. I've also come to love the community and the coaches. My only regret is that I didn't start sooner.

Expérience fantastique: Move Fitness Club is amazing. Amazing facilities and a great environment. Friendly, supportive, and awesome coaches and a clean and comfortable gym for everyone, especially for a beginner like me. Not having exercised ever before I was worried, but when I met and got to know all the coaches I knew this was the right place, especially Belinda Kiriakou, the General Manager. She is professional yet kind, patient, and understanding. Her encouragement has given me the confidence to start this program. After one short month, I am pleased with my progress and feel assured that with continued training and encouragement, I will continue getting good results and attain my goal. Thank you Move Team!!

Expérience fantastique: MOVE fitness has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my health and wellness. Belinda, the GM, along with the rest of the coaching staff are so knowledgeable and welcoming, they really make you feel comfortable and supported. With zero previous weight training experience, they helped me building strength at my own pace and I love that they modify exercises based on any injuries you may have. They go above and beyond. I 100% recommend, you won’t be disappointed!

Expérience fantastique: MOVE Fitness has been an awesome gym to workout in Leslieville! Their get strong program is designed to challenge you in different ways while being a part of an uplifting atmosphere.

Expérience fantastique: Belinda has been such an inspiration as the GM of this location! From the first time I entered their doors I felt so welcome and supported in a judgement free zone. Working out in public can be nerve wracking, but the team at Move are such cheerleaders - it’s empowering!

Expérience fantastique: Thank you Move Fitness Club for all of your support. You made my introduction to strength training awesome! So much so, that it’s now something that I enjoy doing and look forward to my classes. I never thought I would say that in a million years! The coaches are phenomenal and their enthusiasm and encouragement is what makes this a great place to train.

Expérience fantastique: I can’t say enough good things about Coach Emily! In just a short period of time, she’s helped me see real improvements. She is an incredible coach who not only knows her stuff but also genuinely cares about her clients’ progress. Every session with her is motivating, and she always pushes me to do my best while making sure I’m using proper form and technique. Emily takes the time to understand my fitness goals and tailors each workout to fit my needs. Her energy is contagious, and she creates a positive and encouraging environment that makes you want to keep coming back. I’m so grateful to have her as my coach! Highly recommend!

Expérience fantastique: I've been going to MOVE for about two months now and I notice a major positive change in my strength and mobility. Not only that, I actually look forward to going! I never thought I would say that about a gym but it's true! There is a wonderful sense of community and the space and people are so welcoming. It's such a great place and I am so happy I joined! I highly recommend MOVE.

Expérience fantastique: If you really want a workout that will challenge you, the MOVE trainers will do it every time! Amazing atmosphere, amazing vibe, definitely recommend!

Expérience fantastique: This gym is everything! Tbh i always hated going to the gym until I found this space. The staff are awesome, the classes are upbeat and fun, yet challenging and extremely welcoming. It doesn't matter your ability here, there is no judgement just love and learning. I started with personal training which was the greatest gift I've ever given myself and my PT Laura was the bomb! This is the longest I've ever committed to a fitness journey (7+ months) and I swear I owe it to this place. I've also convinced 2 friends to join me who also love it here. Best women's gym in Toronto, no doubt!

Expérience fantastique: Been going to Move for almost two years now. I go for the get strong and get conditioned classes. The staff and trainers (Bethany, Barb, Monica and Laura) are all amazing. It really has become a community and I look forward to going each week. The facility is great (equipment, change rooms and sauna). Highly recommend

Expérience fantastique: MOVE is one of my favorite gyms in the city and I've been to MANY! Not only is it big, clean and organized but the well trained coaches is what truly makes it amazing. They know what they're doing and always make the workout fun and effective.

Expérience fantastique: Fantastic conditioning class. Great energy and brilliant variations each week!

Expérience fantastique: Love the Sunday morning conditioning class!!! Great start to the week ❤️

Expérience fantastique: I’ve been going to MOVE for nearly 2 years. Started with personal training with Bethany post pregnancy. She was incredible and I never looked back. The facility, the staff, and the members are fantastic.

Expérience fantastique: I have been going to the gym for over a year now and absolutely love it. I have been going during my pregnancy and now post partum. The coaches have been so helpful to adapt the movements and make me feel comfortable during pregnancy. After, I gave birth I even brought my baby to the classes and the coaches held my little one as I tried to squeeze in a workout. As a new mom adapting to my new identity having a chance to workout means the world to me and the coaches make sure it happens! Thank you Barb, Betthany, and all the beautiful people at the gym!

Expérience fantastique: Amazing gym! I’ve been training with Barb and she is so knowledgeable. She’s done a great job making the workouts hard and at the same time catering to my injuries. Love it here! Also, the infrared sauna is a huge bonus!

Expérience fantastique: MOVE is a special place. I’ve been a member for several years and I still look forward to every class. The workouts are fun, challenging and never boring. And the coaches are so knowledgeable; you feel like you’re in great hands. The gym has an impressive collection of equipment, and a lovely, clean change room. 5 stars!!

Expérience fantastique: Fantastic coaches, programming and community! The 6:30am classes are the best way to get my day started!

Expérience fantastique: This is the go to gym in the East end. Amazing, fun, knowledgable coaches who offer modifications, encouragement and so much confidence. I've shopped around for loads of gyms but after a full year of them being flexible with my needs and so motivating, I've found my place. Bonus: so many amazing women come here and everyone leaves happier than when we came. ❤️❤️❤️

Expérience fantastique: I cannot stress how much I love this place! The trainers and members are all amazing! It's a perfect place to build confidence in lifting heavy weights with proper form, attention to detail and in an uplifting atmosphere!

Expérience fantastique: The best workout in the east end! The instructors are amazing and push you to do your best at every workout. 10/10 recommend

Expérience fantastique: if you're looking for a third space, this is it! been lifting at move for several years and the community of friendly, encouraging, funny women keep me coming back. the coaches really know what they're doing, especially bethany and barb, and are passionate about what they do. Workouts are challenging and there's a great emphasis on correct form that's really helpful for people new to strength training (ps can we get a chalk refill please)

Expérience fantastique: Love this gym - great atmosphere, coaches, and classes. Fab environment to learn about strength training.

Expérience fantastique: I've been going to MOVE fitness club since 2021 and it has completely transformed by life! I first started with personal training sessions with Barb to improve my form and then graduated into the group strength and conditioning classes. The ladies of MOVE (shout out to Barb, Beth, Sara, and Laura!) do such a fantastic job of fostering a supportive and fun environment for everyone. Because of them, I've managed to maintain a solid workout routine and have become stronger and healthier than I've ever been. I've also met some incredible women along the way. Cannot recommend this place enough!

Expérience fantastique: Move is such a great gym for anyone looking for an all women’s gym. The classes and coaches are amazing! If you’re looking for a gym that’s positive and uplifts its members, definitely check MOVE out!

Expérience fantastique: I have been working out at Move for 4 months doing the 6:30 Get Strong classes. Love the camaraderie and feeling of empowerment of lifting heavy. Gym space is lovely, clean and the instructors protect your form!

Expérience fantastique: The coaches are amazing and there’s always a great variety of exercises

Expérience fantastique: I’ve been a member of MOVE for over a month now and have loved my experience. My trainer Sara has been so positive and great at pushing me to do better. I’ve loved my sessions with her!

Expérience fantastique: An inclusive gym with great & challenging strength training classes led by fantastic trainers!

Expérience fantastique: Well laid out women's gym with fun group strengthening classes

Expérience fantastique: Love this gym!

Expérience fantastique: Move is not just a gym! It is an inspiring, strong, motivating and connected community. All the coaches are amazing, competent, friendly and ready to push you beyond your limits. Workouts are challenging and invigorating. Coaches supervise how every individual team member is doing the workouts to prevent any injuries and to ensure we fully benefit from all the movements. It is like having a workout in a group setting, but with a personal trainer. The space is incredibly clean, modern and organized. Thank you Move and all my wonderful teammates who make working out such a pleasant experience for me!

Expérience fantastique: Move Fitness Club is a very special place. Bethany’s personal training sessions are incredible, I look forward to seeing her every week and am so pleased with her phenomenal work. Her workouts are always what I need at the moment, whether it be an especially challenging workout or a more restorative session. I leave feeling strong, inspired and motivated. Thank you Bethany for your excellent work and thank you Move team for maintaining such a lovely facility.

Expérience fantastique: This was my first time coming for an open gym session but i’ll definitely be back for a class! Safe, inclusive and welcoming environment.

Expérience positive: I had a great time with my trainer, lots of new equipment. It's definitely set up as a safe space for women. They just need to make it more visible from the street.

Expérience fantastique: This women's only gym is amazing! The staff are super friendly and well equipped for strength training. The shower facilities and overall cleanliness are amazing. Muslim Women Friendly

Expérience positive: A small cute boutique fitness club. The staff was very sweet, and the restrooms are very beautiful and accommodating. The equipment suffices for a decent hour long workout session.

Expérience fantastique: This gym is great! Super friendly vibe, the coaches are amazing. I've been working with my coach Rebecca for several months now and she's incredibly knowledgeable, and attentive to individual needs. She always has tons of variations to try if a movement is difficult and is really intentional about building strength in weaker areas. I couldn't recommend Rebecca more, especially if you're just coming back to the gym.

Expérience fantastique: I started working out with Rebecca at Move Fitness Club three months ago to improve mobility range, strength and flexibility and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. I am an older woman who had never set foot in a gym until I joined Move. Rebecca is knowledgeable, kind and very patient. She perfectly understands my goals, encourages me to try exercises I never thought I could manage, and keeps me motivated. The gym is very clean and bright, all the coaches are welcoming, friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

Expérience fantastique: It’s a beautiful space and the coaches are great. I worked with Becca and she was excellent. She’s very knowledgeable and I have loved working out with her. I only wish there were a few more affordable options and classes.

Expérience fantastique: Becca is a wonderful personal trainer. She has helped me gain strength and flexibility. She is very knowledgeable about proper programming for seniors. My body feels so much stronger and I no longer feel stiff and sore. I move through my days much easier now. I am very grateful for her!

Expérience fantastique: Really love this place. The instructors are amazing and keep giving tips and different options for each exercise. The exercises are very variated, and they give you the tools to slowly progress to more difficult ones. Really recommend, love it

Expérience fantastique: A wonderful place to get started (or continue your journey) with strength training. The coaches are fantastic, pay close attention to the posture/technique during workout so you're never worried if you're doing something 'wrong'. They offer different variations of the exercise so you can start at the level you feel comfortable and progress as you get stronger. And heck, it works!! I was never able to do a push up or a chin up, until I started regularly working out at MOVE. The atmosphere is warm and inclusive. Well-planned schedule during the week (morning/evening workouts), and an amazing conditioning class on Saturday mornings to get your heart pumping :-)

Expérience fantastique: I joined MOVE a year ago, and given how great the coaches are (they talk you through the movements, what areas of your body are impacted, and modifications that work for you), the class timings (morning and evening lessons), and the sense of belonging you feel, it’s no surprise that I keep going back. As long as I am in Leslieville, I will be heading over to MOVE!

Expérience fantastique: I have been going to Move for several years. The gym has top of the line equipment and it's a welcoming space. The coaches are encouraging and knowledgeable and it's evident that the focus is on the workout and not on external "results". This community of women has kept me coming back again and again and has helped keep me fit (including over the pandemic) body and mind.

Expérience fantastique: I fell in love with MOVE from the moment I walked in over 4 years ago. MOVE's classes are energizing, effective and challenging and the coaches are encouraging and very knowledgeable. In combination with the supportive community, the gym's beautiful studio, the equipment selection to the post-workout smoothie, I 10/10 recommend!

Expérience fantastique: I’ve been a member at MOVE since they opened. It’s a beautiful space, with fantastic trainers and a great community of women. I started there at 6 months postpartum and basically at ground zero in terms of fitness. I found a place and program that pushed me to be stronger than I ever have and most importantly to be consistent and love fitness in a new way. The staff and members are inviting and encouraging no matter where you are in your journey.

Expérience fantastique: I work out twice a week at MOVE and as someone who has always had a hate-hate it more relationship with fitness. Started working out with Barb in June and for the first time ever I can say I enjoy working out. The club is easy to get to, never have issues with parking, and Barb is an amazing trainer who takes into consideration attainable fitness goals, lifestyle and the general mindset. Love the fact that they just added naturopath services as well.

Expérience fantastique: At Move Fitness the whole team very take great pride at what they do. Each of them are extremely professional and all do everything they can to make you feel good in your body, mind & spirit. The team is here to push you reach your goals, they are here to support you and listen. Recently they just brought in a new member, Dr. Jardine who practices acupuncture, naturopathy & more. He takes his role very seriously, takes the time to go over all the questions you might have and helps you understand any illness or discomfort you are concerned about. I recently did an acupuncture session and it won’t be my last. It is very important to take care of ourselves and it feels so good! Thank you to the Move fitness team.

Expérience négative: Really disappointing finding out the proprietors of this place aren't actually about what they claim to be about

Expérience fantastique: Been going to MOVE for just over a year now and it’s been the best thing I’ve done to incorporate movement and wellness into my life. The trainers are full of amazing wisdom and I leave each class feeling stronger and happier. So grateful for this community and the opportunity to spend my time at MOVE

Expérience fantastique: Kyle is always best chiropractor.

Expérience fantastique: I trained with Bethany from October to April. I have gym anxiety and was really nervous about working out. Bethany made the space so welcoming and amazing. The past months working with her have allowed me to grow so much in my fitness journey. I cannot recommend her services enough. She really takes the time to get to know you and your goals. I looked forward to every session with her! She has really motivated me to keep going with my fitness journey!!

Expérience fantastique: I've been wanting to try weightlifting for a while but was always intimidated by gyms. MOVE is just what I needed. It offered a safe space, an all women supportive environment in which modification are always provided. All instructors are honestly the coolest and most fun to train with and the class is always kept small so it's basically almost personal training. This is such an awesome environment to support and be part of!

Expérience fantastique: Positive: Professionalism Great workout space!

Expérience fantastique: Amazing for kids

Expérience fantastique: Recently had some personal training sessions with Olga at MOVE fitness. She was great! Throughout it all thete was great communication both before during and after the sessions. The workouts she designed were well thought out and engaged muscles I forgot I had! Great correction and encouragement was given. And she is fun! Would highly recommend her.

Expérience fantastique: Move’s outdoor workouts are the best! Whether we are working out through heat, humidity, rain (or even snow!!) they are held at some of our neighbourhood’s loveliest parks and always leave me feeling great. The format is varied which keeps it fresh, and I love being able to just turn up and work- no planning on my end. Super fun environment with a very supportive group and excellent coaching. I am so glad to get out of my living room and into the park!

Expérience fantastique: This is a fantastic gym on many fronts. Move is stacked with such knowledgeable and enthusiastic trainers who all give their attention to form while keeping the vibe so positive. Kelly has created such an inviting space to spend quality time getting healthy and strong. I am so much happier joining this supportive community that values health and fitness. Thank you!!

Expérience fantastique: I’ve had the best return to fitness post-baby thanks to Move!! Thank you for making me feel welcome and for creating a place with such a super supportive staff and community. If you're looking for a gym for great workouts and great vibes - this is it!

Expérience fantastique: An incredibly inclusive and fun environment and the workouts are no joke! Coaches are knowledgeable and motivating in just the right way. Classes are well thought out and are perfect for a beginner and for someone who is more advanced Can't say enough great things about MOVE!

Expérience fantastique: From the moment I stepped foot in MOVE I felt comfortable and welcomed. This gym is about community, support, encouragement, positivity and inclusivity. It is about real women committed to challenging and empowering themselves through fitness. It is inspiring and motivating. Quite simply... MOVE is a special place. And the coaches... I truly can’t say enough about the coaches. They are the heartbeat!

Expérience fantastique: I joined a month ago on an unlimited package, and this is the most fun I've had with weights in....forever? The entire staff is kind, knowledgeable, and push you in all the right (and safe!) ways. It's INSANELY empowering to work out with a bunch of fierce, badass amazons (both the staff and the other members) who are constantly pushing themselves and others to hit new PRS and believe in what our bodies can do. They also have childminding for anyone with little ones! Cannot recommend enough for anyone who's looking to shake their fear of lifting, feel empowered, and work out in a supportive and fun community of women!

Expérience fantastique: Great place to go for a killer workout with kickass women. Excellent for beginners as there is lots of support as well as the more seasoned. The available child minding is very helpful.

Expérience fantastique: Walking through the doors of Move two years ago represented a most important return to fitness for me. Having formerly loved strength training and knowing that I now require the appointment of a group lead program, Move provided just that (well I needed it 13 years ago too, but that's another story). The coaches are amazing, the messages are empowering, the environment is clean and nourishing. Thanks, Move! Keep doing what you're doing, 'cause it's great.

Expérience fantastique: I'm loving my experience at MOVE fitness, and feel like it's such a great fit for me. I was very committed to fitness prior to my pregnancy but was a bit apprehensive about getting back into it after a c-section. The format of the classes is so great with very helpful instruction and modifications - I've already noticed a huge difference in my energy & am slowly building back strength. Loving the childcare too, which has allowed me to work-out consistently through the week.

Expérience fantastique: Great place to go for a killer workout with kickass women. Excellent for beginners as there is lots of support as well as the more seasoned. The available child minding is very helpful.

Expérience fantastique: Move has been the single most important part of my postpartum self-care regimen. It is a truly special place and brought me back to feeling like myself after a challenging pregnancy. The childcare option is wonderful and my baby is always well looked after. The coaches are kind, fun, and very knowledgeable. They will customize the workout to injuries, postpartum, new to fitness, etc. The community is also amazing. I love that women of all ages/sizes/experience work out together and the focus is *never* on appearance, but always on building strength and motivating each other. I’ve never once heard a coach comment on “rock hard abs” or other superficial nonsense you hear so often at other gyms. There aren’t even mirrors in the weights area, which I really loved as I struggled with body confidence after baby. Classes are super fun, full of jokes and laughter, great music, high fives, you name it. The coaches make it safe to go outside your comfort zone and try something new. You will feel at home here. I do, and am super grateful for that. I’ve worked out at many boutique gyms across Toronto and Move tops the list.

Expérience fantastique: My favorite gym! Great, energetic instructors, challenging workouts, great space in terms of decor and overall vibe and I've gotten so much stronger!

Expérience fantastique: Move is my happy place! I never enjoyed going to the gym but with Move it's a totally different story. The small group classes are led by knowledgeable and expert coaches who focus on technique while still keeping classes fun. The focus here is on becoming stronger, learning new skills and gaining self-confidence, not on picking apart your bodie's "problem areas". This is more than just a gym, it is a community of strong women who support one another and cheer each other on. The fact that it also has spa-like amenities is just the icing on the cake. I can't recommend Move highly enough!

Expérience fantastique: Love this place and all the badass coaches! I’ve never felt stronger and more knowledgeable about fitness. Thanks for making working out fun again!! :)

Expérience fantastique: Amazing coaches and amazing facilities! I have started my fitness journey hoping to get stronger and I cannot believe it has been 2 months already. The staff are super supportive and the programming definitely challenges you to push beyond your limits. Thank you to the MOVE team.

Expérience fantastique: I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience with MOVE so far. Here’s what I love… - Amazing, knowledgeable leaders/instructors – always in a great mood, and always provide you with a tip you can use to ensure you have the right technique. Clearly experienced. - The format – I like when things are repetitive but only repeating a couple of things and then for a set period of time. Makes it easy to know what you need to do and spend the time focusing on that vs. trying to figure out the activity. - The workout – I always leave feeling like I’ve had a challenging workout. I’m sweating and I feel good.

Expérience fantastique: I have been a member of MOVE for over a year, which is huge for me. I typically spend three months at a gym then I fizzle out. I am motivated not only by the lovely coaches and staff, but by the amazing women who push themselves to the limit every class.

Expérience fantastique: MOVE is such an awesome gym, and Kelly (the founder) has built a beautiful facility and a team of amazing coaches. The first coach that I met was Monica, and she was so welcoming and friendly. After the first class, I couldn't wait to go back! Coach Alex's positive energy is contagious, and I love the tips that she provides each class. This summer, I participated in the Summer of Strong, and I am so happy with the progress that I have made with my squats, deadlifts, bench press, and strict press. I have learned so much from all the trainers on proper form, and the environment is very supportive and encouraging. I love the focus on getting strong and learning to appreciate our bodies for what they can do! I highly recommend MOVE for women of all fitness levels.

Expérience fantastique: Amazing fitness community for women. All the coaches are amazing and know how to cater to your individual fitness needs. It doesn't matter where you are in your fitness journey, everyone (coaches & members) is extremely supportive, the focus is not on your body, but rather what your body can do. It is through this club that I've discovered how empowering weight training can be!

Expérience fantastique: Can’t say enough amazing things about the studio! Everyone is incredibly friendly and approachable, and genuinely cares about how to best help you achieve your fitness goals in the way that you will enjoy and stick to it. Loving such a non-intimidating, supportive, and empowering atmosphere. And thanks to Monica’s wonderfulness, it has been such a fun week and can’t wait to visit again!

Expérience fantastique: This boutique group class and personal training gym that's created for women exclusively has thought of everything women want. Smoothie bar, nutritionist services, child minding, high-end products, great hair tools, sauna, plus way more all in a non-judgey and ACTUALLY supportive environment. We took the Get Strong class that focuses on full body strength training and conditioning, doing everything from kettle-bell swings to rope throws. We rated it "Hard" in the end as we weren't pushed to our absolute max but because the structure of the classes is self-guided there's opportunity to adjust your pace. Well worth a visit, even if your not an east end dweller, go for the reverse osmosis water, alone.

Expérience fantastique: Safe, clean and fun gym. I had never lifted weights before and the coaches really made sure I was doing each movement properly before adding weight. I’ve noticed I’m much stronger already only after a couple months. The vibe is laid back and friendly. Definitely recommend.

Expérience fantastique: Not only are the classes amazing and well rounded but the coaches are so motivating and there's an infrared sauna!

Expérience fantastique: Move is a wonderful community and fantastic gym. The coaches are knowledgeable, caring and experts in their field. They spend quality one on one time correcting and guiding you as you workout even if the group classes. They also pay attention to your particular life circumstances, including when postpartum, to make sure your workout is a tailored experience. Kelly Taphouse has built a community of strong women at Move and there is no better place to workout in the east end of the city.

Everyone is incredibly friendly and approachable, and genuinely cares about how to best help you achieve your fitness goals in the way that you will enjoy and stick to it. Loving such a non-intimidating, supportive, and empowering atmosphere. And thanks to Monica’s wonderfulness, it has been such a fun week and can’t wait to visit again!

Expérience fantastique: Move Fitness - strength, style, substance. It's so much more than a gym - it's a community. A group of strong, inspiring women who are equal parts coach, competitor, and confidant. It's a safe place to test my limits - and exceed my own expectations. It's where I learned to value my body for its power and strength, and where I feel safe trying moves like handstands, monkey bars, and chin-ups. I am so grateful for this amazing place.

Expérience fantastique: Excellent coaches + Beautiful decor + Fun vibe + Inclusive community spirit. I'm obsessed with this place!

Expérience fantastique: I started training at Move Fitness at 6 weeks post-partum. That golden week you’re given the “all clear” from your OB, and you finally don’t feel like your insides are going to fall out just by doing a jumping jack. My husband gifted me with 2 months at this incredible facility – knowing that one of my passions and outlets for happiness is fitness. When I first got to Move, I was weak, sleep deprived, and a former shell of my past physique. @kellytaphouse took me back to basics and focused on helping me move better. She asked me what my goals were and made me retool my answers so they weren’t physique focused. Move helped me get back into shape and it has given me a new found fascination and appreciation with how resilient the human body is - with its ability to stretch, create and incubate a human being to then shrink back but also grow in strength to feed, carry, and then chase that human being. When I first started going to Move, some days it was the only thing I’d do because I was so damn exhausted. But it was also one of the main things that helped me recover and feel like my former self – and maybe even a better version of my former self. Version 2.0. I started at Move using the green elastic band (the friendliest of the bunch) to assist in my chin-ups and here I am, 7 months later doing them unassisted. As I wrap up my mat leave I am so grateful to have found such a welcoming, fun, incredible community and trainers that helped me keep my sanity and strength.
