Recess Fit Club

Expérience fantastique: My wife and are in our late 30's, early 40's and have two toddler kids who take up a lot of time. We went looking for a personal trainer/spot and had a list of criteria. -We can only spare an hour a week with our current family commitments, and wanted to make it impactful -We didn't want to be locked into a gym we wouldn't be able to utilize -We have a small 6x6 foot workout area with some basic equipment we wanted to integrate into a plan -We were hurting ourselves, and frustrating each other without having the right form and techniques Adrian and the entire Recess Fit Club satisfied the above, and we we have never felt more welcomed into a fitness club and we have done CrossFit, F45, Soccer you name it. Adrian met us where we were in our fitness journey, and over the past 3 months we have made some serious beginner progress to getting stronger and feeling better about ourselves. Adrian is an awesome human, he explains everything in terms we each understand, and knows exactly when to push and provide sturdy guidance. We look forward to our session each week and are so thankful for Recess Fit.

Expérience fantastique: Single handedly the reason why I've started and stayed exercising post injury. As someone with minimal weight lifting experience, I feel supported by trainers and they provide alternative movements if you experience discomfort. After four months, I have attended classes from most all the trainers and they are all encouraging and provide helpful feedback! The environment at Recess makes me feel safe and comfortable in my body. After each class I leave in a better mood -- highly recommend!

Expérience fantastique: I’ve been coming to Recess once a week for almost a year now and it’s a highlight of my week. I always leave with a clearer mind and feeling amazing, even if I was feeling crappy before the class. It’s the only gym or fitness class that I have stuck with for so long and so consistently. I love the gradual approach to lifting and the focus on learning the technique and building endurance before going heavy. It’s gratifying to feel myself getting stronger and stronger each week. Recess is an inclusive gym and safe space for folks that might not be comfortable at a conventional gym. They support people of different ages and fitness levels and generally create a really chill, fun and non-aggressive vibe that makes working out here so fun. The instructors provide a high level of personal support and are able to suggest modifications for movements that you might struggle with if you have some physical limitation. I highly recommend Recess for those who want to lift weights in a super supportive and inclusive environment.

Expérience fantastique: A family member of mine started going to this gym, and I decided to try it out as well. Instantly fell in love with the first class, and I've been going each week. Unlike the YMCA and other gyms which is a "come as you please" type gym. This gym makes you book a class ahead of time which gives you a responsibility and commitment to go. So if you're the type of person to skip an exercise day because you don't feel like going, Recess Fit Club gives you an incentive to go because you reserved a spot. As a Queer person who is not cis-gendered, I experience a lot of dysphoria with my body. I found going to the YMCA triggering and this stopped me from working out altogether and enjoying my time exercising. I find gyms like the YMCA attract a certain crowd and you feel a lot of pressure and insecurity. At Recess Fit Club everyone is at their own level and body weight and it's a more friendlier crowd. People will greet you and say hello and it's so welcoming. Every instructor is incredible and friendly, and they show you how to do each exercise and will tell you if you need to adjust your position at all. The instructors, in addition, give you alternative exercises if needed to better accommodate you. This place also has Senior Fitness classes and a Queer Workout Club. Altogether I would totally consider this place if you're seeking a gym!

Expérience fantastique: The temperature and humidity of the space are always ideal. Also well organized and clean with warm lighting. Welcoming staff and trainers. I personally appreciate minimum use of mirrors to focus on kinaesthetic sense of form without visual distraction. I bike there but conveniently located near the subway in a vibrant neighbourhood.

Expérience fantastique: Recess Fit Club is fantastic! All of the trainers are kind, knowledgable, and supportive. In the short six months I have been attending this club, I've learned a lot and have improved on my form in a variety of exercises, even those that I had not attempted previously. The atmosphere is comfortable and welcoming to folks of all fitness levels. Small class sizes allow for opportunities to ask questions about any exercise at any point of the training sessions. The planned curriculum keeps me interested and motivated to attend classes.

Expérience fantastique: Recess Fitness has made me fall in love with weight lifting. My injuries are supported in a safe way which hasn't always happened in other fitness classes. Recess is also a wonderful community to be a part of. We laugh, we sweat, we support eachother. Can't get much better than that!

Expérience fantastique: I have tried a number of different gyms, fitness clubs, and online personal trainers in the past, and this is the first one that I have kept attending consistently for more than a few months. The space is clean and professional, and the trainers are extremely knowledgeable. Their 3 month programs keep things engaging. The progress at the end of each 3 month cycle is very satisfying. I also love the fact that it is such an encouraging space for people at any fitness level. It's a great atmosphere, low-key, friendly atmosphere. There are no mirrors. It's clearly about fitness and getting stronger.

Expérience fantastique: Andi is a great trainer. Queer Work Out Club is so fun!

Expérience fantastique: My husband and I are on month 3 and we love it here it’s a safe space to learn to lift, all the instructors are fantastic. Highly recommend joining ☺️

Expérience fantastique: I started at Recess Fit Club this July and couldn't be happier with the classes. The trainers are incredible (special shoutout to Nat and Mariah!) and the space is bright and clean. I appreciate that their classes aren't overcrowded nor do they charge any kind of additional annual/monthly fee, you just pay for the classes you want, or the membership you want. No mirrors inside was a plus for me as someone who has frequented gym spaces — it actually helps me focus on how I feel and my form. During my first class, I was greeted by both Adrian and Millie and they are so friendly and helpful. I also did the powerlifting classes with Nat and she is very experienced, thorough, and gives great instruction with in-depth explanations. Would highly recommend!

Expérience fantastique: I am always looking for fitness spaces that don't focus on weight loss or aesthetics, and I was so happy to find Recess Fit Club! Can't recommend them enough — I tell EVERYONE who will listen to me. Incredibly welcoming atmosphere that's educational and focused on learning and getting stronger. I've seen huge improvement in myself already, not just in the actual work outs but in committing to myself! I'm excited to wake up at 6am for these classes.

Expérience fantastique: I've been a member of this gym for a while now, and I can't recommend it enough! Adrian and Millie have created a truly inclusive and welcoming space. The atmosphere is incredibly positive, making it not just a place to work out, but a real community. The training programs are accessible for all fitness levels, and the trainers are knowledgeable and supportive. The small class sizes ensure personalized attention, and the gym is always clean with well-maintained equipment. Overall, this is the perfect place to get strong, fit, and connect with others.

Expérience fantastique: Only been coming for 3 months and happy to have found you. This place is good for me. I feel so much better when I leave. Emma is good at what she does

Expérience fantastique: Recess Fit Club has it all! Small gym with high quality equipment and great trainers

Expérience fantastique: Friendly knowledgeable instructors in a non intimidating environment. Great for all levels. Highly recommend.

Expérience fantastique: Recess is a very inclusive space that makes room for all bodies. The trainers always offer modifications if you’re feeling off, or if your body has trouble with a type of movement. I’ve appreciated the last 8 months of an environment where form and safety are the first priority. The way they run their programming draws in the best clients as well—I’ve never experienced anything other than support and friendliness from everyone in the room. As a first-time gym goer, I started with personal training with Emma and slowly transitioned over to the small group classes, and my gym anxiety is now almost non-existent. The focus on strength and confidence and not so much on aesthetics (no mirror-covered walls) is something I appreciate. I can check on my potential booty gains at home and focus on making sure the exercises feel right (your trainer will always tell you where you should feel the effort). Millie and Adrian have added great little touches to help clients feel like part of the space, like complimentary notebooks on the wall for keeping track of your numbers and notes on form, and custom stickers whenever you complete a three-month program. If that appeals to you and you’re not, like, toxic, you’ll probably enjoy working out here as well.

Expérience fantastique: Recess Fit Club is a lovely and inclusive space to work out. They have helped me get excited about fitness again. I love their approach to weightlifting and circuits. Great community vibes!

Expérience fantastique: Recess is a fantastic training location in the Christie Pits / Koreatown area! Adrian has been super welcoming, and training with Natalia has helped me confidently attack my fitness plan of building regular strength training into my weekly routine. Recess is super inviting for people of any level of fitness, and it's been easier than ever to stick with it. Highly recommend!

Expérience fantastique: I've been a member of Recess Fit Club for just under a year and I highly recommend it if you're looking to make real change to your fitness/life. Their program makes it easy to stay focused and consistent. Andrian goes deep on proper technique, which I appreciate. I also thrive in the small group setting. I don't like one-one-one training so much (too much attention on me!). At Recess you get the benefits of one-on-one training (technique) without paying a fortune and I enjoy doing the exercises with a small group of lovely people. All this makes me stick to it! And I can feel the difference almost a year in.

Expérience fantastique: I started training with Emma a year ago after recovering from a knee replacement. She has changed my life. At midlife I feel stronger than I have ever been and have been achieve this safely with Emma's very personalized, thoughtful approach. I also find the gym a welcoming place for all, including my daughter who has autism, seniors and people like me who have felt uncomfortable in other gyms. I highly recommend Recess Fit Club and specifically trainer Emma.

Expérience fantastique: Better than I expected! Really enjoying the expertise and safety provided by my trainer :)

Expérience fantastique: Highly recommend personal training. I.came to Recess as someone with a chronic medical condition and a related lifelong fear of gyms and exercise. Adrian is very welcoming and does a superb job at cultivating a safe, fun, empowering, and suitably challenging environment. Recess is a bit of a commute for me, but I will keep coming back because they are so special.

Expérience fantastique: I've been going to Recess for just under a year now. The staff are friendly, knowledgable, and very inclusive!

Expérience fantastique: Great space & even greater instructors!

Expérience fantastique: I can't possibly say enough good things about Recess Fit Club! I completed a 10 session cycle of personal training with Adrian, and it's been a game changer for me -- Movement, momentum, and motivation! He took the time to understand my goals and come up with an approach that worked for me both in the gym and at home. No upselling, no gimmicks, just focus and intention from people who know what they are doing. Adrian and Millie have created a pretty special, welcoming, and inclusive space!

Expérience fantastique: Recess Fit Club is the most welcoming, motivating, friendly, and educational fitness space I have ever experienced. Highly recommend for absolute beginners as well as pros. I’ve gotten my friends and family into it too! I’m so glad this place exists, thank you!

Expérience fantastique: Recess is the best! Before I took the beginner weight lifting course I had a borderline phobia of gyms and exercising in public. By the end of the first class I was a total convert! The whole vibe here is fun safe accessible exercise for any type of person at any level of ability or experience. The staff are amazing and supportive, the community is supportive, the space is clean and well equipped, I have nothing but good things to say. There's a reason all the reviews are five stars!

Expérience fantastique: I came from Italy for a vacation in Toronto and I was looking for a place where to train. I am very happy to have met Adrian and his team, who are great! They offer a variety of classes for everyone and are always available to give suggestions on how to improve specific movements. I would definitely recommend it to anyone!

Expérience fantastique: Very friendly, supportive environment. Andres is a super trainer, targets your issues.

Expérience fantastique: I loooove Recess, it has such a lovely community vibe and is very inclusive. They offer classes for everybody including for seniors, and also the Queer Workout Club which I could not recommend more! I was a complete gym beginner and I took the Intro to Weightlifting course last year. I didn’t know anything about lifting or fitness and it was extremely helpful and empowering. Now I feel confident going to my own gym by myself, and also attend weekly classes at Recess to continue learning and getting stronger. It is a small space but great equipment, small group classes and very adaptive - they will adjust to match your needs if you have any injuries, for example. I love it here and could not recommend it more!!

Expérience fantastique: Great gym. Well maintained. Clean.The owners are very friendly and easy to talk to ! And the atmosphere is very welcoming.

Expérience fantastique: I’ve been working with Adrian and his team in the Get Stronger program for several months. The best way I can quantify my progress is to say I feel like I’m now operating with gravity turned down to 97%. Recommended!

Expérience fantastique: The 5 week introductory course was a beginner-friendly introduction to weight lifting. The coaches are lovely!

Expérience fantastique: I’ve been working with Amanda since September. Took introductory classes on weightlifting, then a group, and now individual sessions. I have loved every session and look forward to them. Amanda is a great instructor, and motivator. The space is inviting. I’ve recommended it to family and friends and they have also had good experiences. Is there a way to do six stars? It’s that good!

Expérience fantastique: An incredibly inclusive, accessible, affordable and FUN place to learn how to strength train and get stronger. I love how the team at Recess helps students progress through different weight training exercises safely and without judgement. They really meet you were you are, and in that way, have really empowered me as I get to know my way around the equipment and movements. I can't recommend Recess enough!

Expérience fantastique: I really appreciate how thorough the classes are, everything is well explained and trainers are monitoring everyone at all times. The program is easy to understand and is the least daunting workout environment I’ve ever experienced!

Expérience fantastique: Can't say enough good things about Recess Fit Club! It's friendly, welcoming. I started off doing personal training with Adrian and eventually moved to their classes format. Great for beginners and those further along, the classes are able to cater to both groups at the same time because of the guided plus go-at-your-own-pace style. The package credits are great for flexibility.

Expérience fantastique: Millie, Adrian and all the trainers at Recess are wonderful! The space is bright and inviting, the trainers are knowledgable, super friendly and make exercising fun. I definitely feel stronger since joining and I love that their programs are designed to help you gain strength without getting too sore that you can't function for days. To anyone reading this, who is intimated by weight training (like I was!), this really is such a great place to get started. Give it a try, you won't regret it :)

Expérience fantastique: I like Recess a lot for its friendly, welcoming, indie community vibe and “fitness is for everyone” philosophy that hits different than other fitness/gym brands I have experienced. They give you the tools, structure and guidance to work functional fitness into your daily life without it being pushy/“sales”-y - it’s really about helping people who are interested in getting stronger and finding a routine they enjoy and are more likely to stick with. As someone who is a fan of classes, I appreciate the variety and the small class size. I also appreciate how they’ve designed a unique workout “curriculum” that is both accessible and challenging.

Expérience fantastique: I just did a hike up a hill on my trip to Belize and I couldn’t believe how much better shape I’m in. Working out with your classes regularly for the last year has made a huge difference! I crushed the hike and the whole time I was walking up these stairs of a Mayan ruin, I realized that all the strength work I’ve been doing has paid off. Step ups for the win lol. Thank you!!!

Expérience fantastique: A great place for beginners who want to get started on the fitness journey in a community setting. The staff are amazing and super helpful, and I always look forward to the classes every week. :)

Expérience fantastique: Really enjoyed the Lifting Fundamentals course. I learned the basics about lifting weights safely and I am now more confident that I won't break my back! Emma is a great teacher, creating a nice environment and considering everyone's needs and circumstances. I hope to take more courses here.

Expérience fantastique: I have been going to Recess for about a year now and I cannot recommend it enough! Millie and Adrian have a refreshing approach to fitness and have created a truly inclusive space. It is an ideal choice for anyone seeking a welcoming and empowering environment to develop gym skills, regardless of their fitness level. Having tried several other boutique gyms, I can confidently say that Recess has become my favourite place to work out in the city.

Expérience fantastique: Recess has such a welcoming and inclusive environment, with skilled and knowledgeable trainers. They are attentive to each member and emphasize building community as well as strength and overall health. Their approach to exercise also makes goals feel more achievable compared to many other gym environments. Would highly recommend!

Expérience fantastique: I learned a lot of useful stuff in the lifting fundamentals class. I had virtually no prior knowledge or experience with safe weightlifting and was hoping to change that for health reasons. The class had both informative instructions and practical part where we applied our newly gained knowledge and got feedback. Emma is a fantastic PT and instructor!

Expérience fantastique: Recess Fit Club is a wonderful gym if you want to feel stronger, more flexible and more powerful. The trainers are kind, helpful and very knowledgeable. They have an extremely well thought out system in place that allows one to join at anytime, no matter your fitness level, and seamlessly integrate into any class.I feel so grateful to have this gym in my neighbourhood.

Expérience fantastique: Really well thought out group class programs and knowledgeable and attentive trainers.

Expérience fantastique: When my sister-in-law tried to convince me to come to the gym with her, I was pretty reluctant - but I was pleasantly surprised at how different Recess is from other gyms. It really is a game-changer for those like me who aren't enamored with traditional gyms. Gyms can be intimidating, but Recess offers a refreshing alternative with a welcoming environment regardless of your fitness level.

Expérience fantastique: 10/10 - been doing personal training with Adrian for a few weeks now - he is super knowledgeable and is really helping me efficiently work on my goals :) Very friendly vibe in the whole place. Can’t recommend this gym enough!

Expérience fantastique: Working with Adrian has made fitness the most fun and accessible it has ever been for me! He meets you were you are, listens and is great at explaining things in a way you'll remember. I came across Recess coincidentally and feel so lucky I did! I have since recommended this hidden gem of a gym to so many people and look forward to continuing my fitness journey here this year.

Expérience fantastique: Recess Fit Club is a great little gym. I started in the spring doubting my own strength and ability and now really feel confident and stronger! Adrian, Millie, Emma and the other instructors offer a supportive environment to challenge yourself safely. Thank you Recess!

Expérience fantastique: Wonderful and welcoming gym. Adrian, Millie, and the amazing team of trainers at Recess, make sure every workout is fun, safe and fulfilling. I now look forward to workouts?!?!?!

Expérience fantastique: I went to my first class here about a week ago, and would give it six stars if that were an option! Millie, Adrian, and the other participants in my class were *so* friendly - when I walked in, Millie said "oh, you must be Carli," and proceeded to get to know me in a genuine, non-sales-y way. The next-newest person in my class was taking their 31st class that day. The class itself was great: I had never done strength training before, but Adrian was very attentive and helped me learn all the exercises using proper technique. The workout felt low-impact at the time, but I felt it in all the right places for 2 days after. It's clear this place is building both a thoughtful exercise curriculum and a strong sense of community. I'm excited to go back in the new year.

Expérience fantastique: My sense of belonging in a community has never been stronger than at Recess. Millie and Adrian embody inclusivity, not just in words but as the essence of their gym. The commitment of every member to foster a welcoming atmosphere allows everyone to pursue their fitness goals – be it strength, friendships, new skills, or simply staying active. Personally drawn to weight lifting, I struggled with consistency until I found this rare gem with its exceptional group lifting program. Since May 2023, attending twice a week, I've witnessed significant strength gains and connected with fantastic individuals. Undoubtedly, the best gym in the city!

Expérience fantastique: Came across Recess because of its convenient location and I’m so glad that I did. I’ve never seen a gym embody community the way they do! Adrien and Millie truly care about each and every person who comes through that door, regardless of where they are at in their fitness journey. Unlike other group fitness gyms, Recess instructors put a lot of focus on technique and injury prevention. As well, the class sizes are small enough that everyone gets the support they need. It often feels like personal training!

Expérience fantastique: I have been a personal training client of Adrian since 2017. He helped me go from totally inactive with no idea what to even do in the gym to fit and healthy. He is an excellent teacher who is quick to adapt to ensure everyone gets a great workout without injury. I really appreciate his knowledge to adapt exercises to ensure I get a complete workout even when old aches and pains throw up obstacles. I am loving the whole vibe at recess and the group classes especially. All of the trainers are knowledgeable and the curriculum allows you to see progress all the time. I really appreciate the focus on working hard but smart and safe. The other people in the classes are friendly and it’s nice to see the same faces and see others progressing too. There is a real community feeling that Mille, Adrian, and all the trainers work hard to promote.

Expérience fantastique: Recess is the gym I’ve been searching for! The classes are informative and fun, with a skilled trainer always there to guide you through the correct movements and form. Recess’ approach to fitness feels grounded in providing a safe and judgement-free space, which is so appreciated. A great workout aside, the best part of going to Recess is that you truly feel part of a community. Adrian and Millie have created such a wonderful and welcoming atmosphere. Thank you both!!

Expérience fantastique: Excellent gym, super friendly supportive environment, and Gabriel and Adrian are great trainers! Highly recommend to anyone starting out or a seasoned vet

Expérience fantastique: Great personal training!

Expérience fantastique: I just finished the Lifting Fundamentals course with Emma, and boy was it a blast! I normally can’t lift an empty suitcase out of my closet without groaning, so to have Emma teach us how to use bad a$$ weight lifting machines and use them confidently felt like becoming a whole new person. But most of our work involved using just our bodies and maybe a dumbbell or a cute pink kettlebell! And almost everything we covered could be modified for at-home practice, so if you don’t have a ~*~fancy gym~*~ at home but you DO have Campbells soup cans, then my friend, you are still in luck. We also spent a tonne of time getting our form just right, which was so valuable. You can’t get swole if you are getting sore! Emma took things nice and slowly, always letting us get through each movement on our own time, with lots of personalised direction (and modifications if you have an injury). Emma is also a sweet, lovely person who it’s a pleasure to spend an hour with each week. Truly, the welcoming, non-intimidating vibes at this gym are incredible. A place for gentle, weak, non-athletic, non-bros with aching joints to come and get stronger, more fit, and less sore together? Pure magic, people. Do yourself a favour and come join this class!

Expérience fantastique: Adrian runs a very welcoming and supportive environment to get started on getting stronger. Highly recommend his classes.

Expérience fantastique: I come to Recess Fitness regularly to exercise and it has a great vibe and the trainers are very nice and supportive. They play catchy music and the other clients here are very kind. When I had an injury I loved that my trainer modified the exercises and it made me feel like I was cared for.

Expérience fantastique: I enjoy lifting weights but haven't trained in years. Traditional gyms didn't appeal to me, and I found group classes were the only way I could consistently exercise. Finally, a group lifting class! I love the support from my instructor Emma on Wednesday nights. Go Recess Fit Club!

Expérience fantastique: I love Recess Fit Club! Always a fun time:) and with small classes it’s like working out with friends. Highly recommended! Check it out.

Expérience fantastique: I love these classes! It’s 50 minutes of being satisfying and gratifying fitness, designed to welcome people of all fitness levels and ages, so that you can work at an intensity that is sufficiently challenging for you, without peer pressure. The attendees are friendly and it’s a supportive, body-positive environment.

Expérience fantastique: I can't praise Recess Fit Club enough! Their programs are tailored to individual needs and led by helpful, knowledgeable trainers. The friendly atmosphere makes working out a joy. Classes are small, and the space is always spotless. I've never missed a class since I joined -- they make it so easy to show up. If you're looking for a fantastic strength program in a welcoming environment, this gym is the best! Highly recommended.

Expérience fantastique: Great gym! Really nice, friendly vibe. Highly recommend Personal Training with Gabriel - Best money I’ve ever spent!

Expérience fantastique: If you’re looking for a place to *safely* kickstart or continue your fitness journey in Toronto, Recess could be perfect for you! This place is a breath of fresh air for a Toronto fitness community that’s becoming saturated with cookie-cutter franchise groupfit gyms that preach a one-size-fits-all method for getting in shape. Want to learn how to lift safely while getting a great workout in a friendly environment? This just might be the place. From the moment I was greeted at the door by Adrian, I had a good feeling that this cheery, inviting space was the real deal — and man, it didn’t disappoint! Working with coach Emma on the day was a blast, too — friendly, knowledgeable, she made everyone feel welcomed into a safe space to get your sweat on. As Arnold would say, I’ll be back!

Expérience fantastique: Recess is a clean, friendly and fun place to work out with great trainers and a welcoming atmosphere. They care about your progress, well being and safety - it’s a fantastic gym addition to the neighbourhood!

Expérience fantastique: Great gym, very clean and wide variety of equipment. Trainers are great! I have been training with Gabriel for two years now with amazing results.

Expérience fantastique: Love this place! Adrian runs an amazing program. Its beginner friendly, yet challenging and the community is wonderful. Great for anyone looking to actually learn how to do the excercises properly and build strength.

Expérience fantastique: This gym is amazing. Great small-group classes that work for every level, supportive trainers who really know what they’re doing, and so body-positive.

Expérience fantastique: Recess is amazing! Gyms have always been super-intimidating to me, but Recess is such a warm and welcome place.... it's not all gym bros, but people of all kinds and levels. Adrian works with people from where they are to get stronger in a safe, pain-free way, and he's incredibly encouraging. Take a class or try out their personal training, you won't regret it.

Expérience fantastique: My kid loves the D+D after school workout!

Expérience fantastique: Have been going to the recess fit club group classes for few months now and I cannot recommend enough! Definitely getting much stronger. The community is great, everyone is friendly, and is perfect for those who are new to or want to get back to weight lifting. All the instructors are very knowledgeable and they give so much personal attention to each person every class to make sure you get the moves, the right amount of weight, keep track of your process and educate you along the way! I had a personal trainer before, and I prefer their group class instead! much better value and fun!

Expérience fantastique: The best trainer in town.

Expérience fantastique: I joined the Queer lifting fundamentals class and have had such a great time so far. Amanda the trainer is really kind and creates a safe, non-judgemental environment and I feel way more confident already. I've also had personal training sessions from Emma B and highly recommend those or joining one of her classes. She focuses on moving your body and encourages you in a kind and educated way. Thank you Recess Fit Club!

Expérience fantastique: Recess Fit is an incredibly accessible gym with strength, endurance and mobility classes where all are welcome. Adrian, Millie and Amanda meet you where you are at and work with you and inspire you to meet your fitness goals safely. Classes have a community vibe and are fun, informative and sweaty! I have referred family and friends and Recess is now part of our fitness routine. Can’t recommend more highly.

Expérience fantastique: Really great place, small-class sizes, good level of instruction & tips on form.

Expérience fantastique: as someone who is v clumsy and uncomfy is gym settings i cant recommend Lifting Fundamentals ENOUGH !! Amanda explains every thing so well and in ways you can actually understand! my confidence SKYROCKETED in this class and i can’t wait to lift all the heavy things 15/10 class and humans at Recess!!

Expérience fantastique: Welcoming, unpretentious place. I've been training with Adrian for years now. His deep knowledge, safety focus and positive attitude mean that you can train hard without undue fear of injury, and have fun as well!

Expérience fantastique: I can't say enough good things about this place! Whether you're working on rehab, looking for tailored workouts for a specific sport or activity, or just looking to get started, Recess is an amazing choice. I've been training here for a several months now and have absolutely loved my experience. I was recovering from a few surgeries and looking to both rehabilitate and prepare for an upcoming soccer season. I've been so happy with the tailoring of my training: moving from rehab into very specific and personalized work to strengthen and develop for soccer. Personal training is customized and thoughtful and the classes are small and super accessible, providing the perfect balance between personalized workouts and group motivation. I've been attending both as I find them to complement each other really well. Give this place a try!

Expérience fantastique: Only have amazing things to say about Adrian. He is extremely thorough and detailed about everything I wanted to work on and made workouts that directly addressed my goals.

Expérience fantastique: I started personal training (2x week) with Adrian in December 2022. Now 4 short months later I feel stronger, and ready to embark on a more active lifestyle in spring. I’m very grateful for his expertise, guidance and positive energy.

Expérience fantastique: Recess is great! Small class sizes and welcoming environment. Adrian is a great trainer. He explain the physiology and the value/purpose of each exercise. Looking forward to my next class!

Expérience fantastique: Adrian focuses on form and safety with instructions that are physiologically sound and yet so easy to follow and understand (better than my physiology teacher!). I would strongly recommend to anyone who would like to get serious in lifting fundamentals and prevent injuries while doing so! The gym itself is bright and spacious, well kept with a lovely and diverse community that will always make you feel welcome.

Expérience fantastique: The small group setup in a friendly, clean environment with a knowledgeable instructor - this is what was needed to get me to lift weights.

Expérience fantastique: Beautiful space, spacious gym with lots of class and personal training options for people in all stages of their fitness journey. Great community vibes and support. They can help you reach your fitness goals - from gaining overall strength to improving endurance, to more specific things like improving your overhead press. Really knowledgeable and friendly owners!

Expérience positive: I just did my first Active Chair for seniors today at Recess Fit Club. Adrian and the team are quite welcoming, it is a smallish space and they don't seem to have too many things going at once which was nice for an elderly newbie like me. I'm sure I will feel it tomorrow, but in a good way. I will be back next week for sure.

Expérience fantastique: I’ve been training at Recess about two months now and I only have good things to say about this place! I love the fact that it’s small sized class and Adrian always stays close to watch your forms and provide guidance so you don’t injure yourself. Everyone is friendly and Adrian excels at creating safe environment. Recess is perfect for those who are new to exercising/ or getting back to routine. Highly recommend!

Expérience fantastique: Visited recess recently. I was surprised how welcoming the space and the head coach (Adrian) was. I really enjoy their classes and Adrian attention to detail to pace and form. Introductory class was cheap too.

Expérience fantastique: A great addition to the neighbourhood and my favourite spot to work out. A range of classes to suit any fitness level. Adrian is an amazing fitness instructor and makes it an effort to meet your fitness goals. Ask him to play a BTS tune

Expérience fantastique: UPDATED - well I’m not so new anymore, as Recess has been in my routine for over a year now. I am much stronger and confident in my ability to lift and move even day to day. The community of people going to Recess is also wonderful - everyone is focused on their own development, but also there’s a “yeah let’s do this!” vibe… and I always appreciate the balance between clear and safe instruction with a good challenge! I'm newer to gym-ming it but have just started with Recess -- and it's been great! Lots of focus on form, the pace is just right and lots of variety. If you're (like me) just wondering how to get started, just go and try!

Expérience fantastique: I've been attending strength classes / boot camps by Adrian for a few years, and highly recommend! Excited to see his passion for inclusive fitness flourish with Recess Fit Club!

Expérience fantastique: I’ve been training with Adrian since last March and the results have been great. He has custom tailored my workouts for my level of fineness ( I’m 54yrs old and not in the best of shape) in order to reach my goals at a pace which is both safe and successful. Adrian has a very relaxed and is extremely knowledgeable about various methods of training, recuperation and diet: I honestly can’t say enough. Where I once dreaded going to the gym, I now look forward to it and leave every session feeling fantastic. I highly recommend Recess Fit Club to anyone who wants a great gym with a fantastic atmosphere run by friendly and knowledgeable people.

Expérience fantastique: Try. This. Gym. I’ve been working out with Adrian for about eight months and I am so happy with my improved functional fitness and weight loss. He adapted our approach as I’ve dealt with minor injuries and a major health scare. He is a realistic, patient, and passionate teacher. Millie and Adrian have created an awesome space and community at Recess Fit Club. Come check it out.

Expérience fantastique: Trainer Adrian kept my partner Thom and I healthy,(in mind body and spirit!), throughout the Pandemic and the individual and group classes at his new venture RECESS FIT CLUB is designed to do the same for everyone. Meeting the client where their fitness needs live is Adrian's specialty -plus his new gym in Korea Town is an awesome spacious place to hang out in! Highly Recommended!

Expérience fantastique: Adrian is a great personal trainer makes sure that you get the gains but with the specificity to do it safely. Fun great works outs love the gym so much !

Expérience fantastique: We have been training with Adrian for 6 months, before he started the space at Recess Fit Club. He is both a great personal trainer and group trainer. The classes are fun and engaging and tailored to different fitness levels. He cares about every single person in his class and is a great trainer. The new space is top notch too, all the equipment you need, lots of space to stretch, highly recommended for strength and endurance training.
