CrossFit^® SMASHBOX

Expérience fantastique: Amazing experience, warm people, amazing coaches. The gym is always super clean and organized. I really recommend an experience in this place

Expérience fantastique: Great place, attention, equipment and awesome location, if I go back to Toronto I’ll definitely return to Smashbox

Expérience fantastique: Easily the best Hyrox gym in the city (and trust me, I've tried a bunch)! Dermot is extremely knowledgeable—his Hyrox workouts are intentional, and it's clear his coaching comes from years of experience in the field. Unlike other Hyrox gyms I've tried, the programming here isn't something you could just find online. It's thoughtfully structured, complex, and designed with purpose. The classes are also small (max 10 people), which allows for a lot of 1:1 coaching throughout the workout and the chance to build strong connections with other members. I trained here for both my first and second Hyrox and have no plans to stop!

Expérience fantastique: Perfect location in downtown Toronto to drop in while in the area. Great set up with equipment for everything for CrossFit and Hyrox. Dermot and the team were really helpful in classes, but also accommodating for open gym to keep up with my own programming.

Expérience fantastique: TL; DR: I had an incredible eight weeks in Toronto and that was in large part due to SMASHBOX, I couldn’t recommend them more highly. :) I was in town for eight weeks and could not recommend this box more highly. I wish they had hours that fit into my schedule a little better, but if I were a local I’d just purchase the open gym package and call it a day! I was NEVER disappointed with a workout. The amenities are lovely and the staff is really remarkable. The small class sizes made for what felt like a personal training experience every time and I was working out with people who were anywhere from novices to competitive athletes which made me feel right at home; I was even able to set some personal bests. It’s also very comforting that the owner, Dermot, is very involved and usually at the gym. Can’t wait for my next visit! :)

Expérience fantastique: Espectacular buen lugar para entrenar y ponerse en forma

Expérience fantastique: I have been working out at Smashbox for the last 3 months and what I’ve experienced can only be described as a total life transformation. I am a busy entrepreneur with a rapidly growing company downtown. I commute to work every day, sleep when I can (which is not often), travel and experience a lot of stress and demands on my time. In my mid 40s and in terrible shape, making a change was not easy. 90 days ago, I had a moment of clarity and realized I was on a dark path in terms of my health and energy. I spoke to several personal trainers and gym owners and Dermot stood out for a few reasons. He wasn’t trying to sell me anything but instead wanted to understand my work and life demands along with my health goals. Dermot built a program for me that worked with my schedule, kept my stress and cortisol low and allowed me to use the gym as a brain break rather than just another thing in my schedule. The results have been beyond what I expected by a lot. Some of the things I’ve experienced in a few short months: - Lost 19lbs on the scale - Gained 8 - 10 lbs of muscle - Lost 25+ lbs of body fat - Experienced a body recomp - Feel stronger and more confident than ever - Get compliments from colleagues and total strangers weekly, compliments from my wife daily - Energy levels are up - My ability to handle stress is significantly improved I’m writing this now because last week I had an experience that drove home the significance of my work with Dermot: I had to bring my entire wardrobe to be altered. We took in inches around the mid section and had to let out my arms and shoulders. I ordered some custom pants when I started working with Dermot and have sent them back 3 - 4 times for alterations, basically not being able to wear them. My tailor told me that I am his new record for alterations and number of garments needing attention. And last week, I brought in a pair of pants that I had to retire permanently (picture included). The hardest part was picking up the phone and calling Dermot 3 months ago. Now, all I have to do now is show up and lift what I’m told to lift three times/week. The gym is fantastic, the community is welcoming and the Smashbox team feels like family. Cannot recommend enough.

Expérience fantastique: After years of searching for a FUN post-work activity, I finally found Smashbox—and I haven’t looked back. As a newcomer to CrossFit and HYROX, I was initially apprehensive, but the coaches and members quickly made me feel welcome and supported. Dermot, in particular, is one of the best coaches I’ve worked with; he embodies holistic heath and genuinely cares about your fears, goals, and progress. Whether you're just starting your fitness journey or are an experienced athlete, Smashbox meets you where you’re at, offering the right amount of challenge and a whole lot of FUN along the way!

Expérience fantastique: Smashbox is absolutely fantastic! From the moment I joined, I felt like part of a family. The atmosphere is incredibly friendly, and the team is highly knowledgeable. Dermot, the owner, is truly inspiring and has been a major motivator for me to improve my physical fitness every day. What sets Smashbox apart is its holistic approach to training. Beyond workouts, we discuss essential topics like nutrition, sleep patterns, and recovery, making it a truly comprehensive fitness experience. Joining Smashbox has given me a sense of purpose and opened my eyes to the world of fitness in ways I never expected. Highly recommend this unique and empowering space!

Expérience fantastique: A 10-year Crossfit veteran I know what I am looking for in a strength and conditioning gym and when I walked into Smashbox I knew I was home. The gym is outfitted with all top of the line Eleiko and Rogue equipment (My playground) It is well laid out, bright and clean. I train independently (If open gym is important to you this is the best in T.O.) but I follow Smashbox's daily Crossfit programming, and it is excellent. As a fitness nerd, I often watch Head Coach Dermot training his clients who range from those new to fitness to competitive athletes, and I can tell you I wish I had his eye for movement.

Expérience fantastique: I’ve been training with Dermot at Smashbox, and he’s been fantastic in tailoring my workouts to accommodate post-concussion challenges I’ve faced over the past two years and my ongoing hip scope rehab. The gym itself has everything you need for a quality workout, with a welcoming, small-community feel that makes every session enjoyable. The entire Smashbox team has been wonderful, providing support and motivation every step of the way. Plus, if you’re in the financial or entertainment district, it’s super convenient to access. Highly recommend for anyone looking for personalized, thoughtful training in a well-equipped and friendly space!

Expérience fantastique: Trained for my first Hyrox race here and would HIGHLY recommend this gym!!! Dermot and the rest of the coaches are a pleasure to work with. They’re very good at motivating you and making you feel comfortable whether it’s your first time doing the exercise or you’re a seasoned vet. Classes are small so the coaches can put more emphasis on each athlete and their form. I love how they mix up the workouts so you’re not doing the same thing each time. Each class/week has a focus and slowly builds up your capacity over time.

Expérience fantastique: My experience at Smashbox has been outstanding. I have been doing personal training but have interacted with several instructors and members and the community and facility are outstanding and the team have done a great job making something really special. The thing that stood out the most to me, and why I chose to join, was my process of reaching out and going through the discovery process. Dermot took the time to get to know me and my needs, which are somewhat demanding due to travel, high stress and being really out of shape. Dermot built programming to help me hit my health goals, within the demands of my schedule and without crushing me in the middle of the work day. I get regular updates and check ins to make sure my sleep and energy are where they need to be and I feel involved in the planning of my training program. I’ve sent others to speak to Dermot and the response is the same and some version of “wow, these guys really care. I can’t believe he took the time to talk through my needs”. Gyms have gotten a bit of a bad rap for using high pressure sales tactics. None of that exists here. Smashbox is a rare find and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Expérience fantastique: After not training for a long long period my brother signed me up to do the hyrox event in Toronto as a way to get me motivated again. After looking at many gyms in the Toronto area that offer hyrox classes I decided to try Smashbox and it was easily the best choice I could have made! Dermot is very supportive and leads great classes that are never packed and everyone gets the support they need. The classes always challenge me physically and mentally in a great environment located in a very handy downtown location. I completed the hyrox last weekend in Toronto and shared a great moment with my brother at the end. I think it’s fair to say without Dermot, the trainers at Smashbox and Smashbox itself I wouldn’t be a hyrox finisher. Excited to keep getting better and going to Smashbox for a long long time.

Expérience fantastique: While in Toronto for a Hyrox event I dropped in at Smashbox for a workout a couple days prior to the race. I travel quite a bit and have had the opportunity to train at many different places. This facility stood out as having some of the best and modern equipment, perfect for any kind of workout, along with being a remarkably clean and well designed fitness center. Dermot and his staff were very welcoming and knowledgeable. I felt at home and highly recommend Smashbox to anyone that lives in or is visiting Toronto.

Expérience fantastique: Dropped in from out of town for 2 workouts - great box, great equipment, very welcoming owner and instructors - seems like a great CrossFit community in downtown Toronto, I look forward to being back. Thanks Dermot!

Expérience fantastique: Worked out here for a few days while I was in Toronto for work. It was a great experience and I can't recommend it enough. They have all the equipment you could want and the owner, Dermot, is really communicative and worked to ensure I had the best experience possible while in town. Will definitely be back when I'm in Toronto again.

Expérience fantastique: One month in at Smashbox and I’ve found my new fitness home. Dermot Cleary and CO have an amazing space that boasts everything you need to get your workout in 24 hours a day. I’ll admit, as a long time fitness enthusiast, those of us using the open gym category are often constricted to unrealistic time frames and spotty equipment access. Dermot has fabricated a space where Hyrox and CrossFit class can peacefully coexist with open gym users. The space is a perfect size and o efficiently move through workouts and even as we speak upgrades are perpetually being put to the forefront. Smashbox has the heart of a garage gym and the facilities of a fitness HQ. Don’t waste your time elsewhere. Come Get after it at Smashbox.

Expérience fantastique: This is the best training experience I’ve ever had! I decided to start learning CrossFit in June, and I just finished two months of personal training with Dermot. He is incredibly professional and always provides helpful advice. The environment is fantastic, with coaches and members who genuinely care for and support each other! I would like to share two significant changes I’ve noticed in myself: not only do I look fitter, but I also have more energy for work and study. Trust me, come and join the Smashbox community!

Expérience fantastique: For many years, I’ve been toying with the idea of trying out CrossFit classes but something was always holding me back. I’d been working out consistently solo with decent results, yet I knew that I was plateauing without some expert oversight and social accountability. Still, I was concerned about navigating an aggressive and punishing workout culture where I’d soon feel out of place. I’m glad I finally took a leap of faith and discovered Smashbox earlier this summer. Kudos to Dermot, Liz, Jess, and all the other instructors for fostering a welcoming community and relaxed studio environment. They all begin with affirming what you’re already doing well, which has increased my motivation and drive to do my personal best (i.e., not by comparing myself to others). Feedback is always given with the intention of preventing injury, improving efficiency, and working towards your personalized fitness goals. Highly recommend checking them out and signing up for a personal training session (or two) before joining the group classes!

Expérience fantastique: Super box, très belle et bien entretenue. Nous avons été super bien accueilli par le propriétaire et la réservation de la session s'est faite très rapidement. Merci pour cette belle expérience !

Expérience fantastique: I absolutely love Smashbox, amazing coaches. Thank you so much Dermot!! You are amazing, he paya attention to every single steps and make sure all the techniques are done. Well done Smashbox team!!! Highly recommend it, 10stars‍♀️

Expérience fantastique: A fantastic gym with great coaching, equipment, and a very welcoming and friendly community! I have visited Toronto twice for month long work trips, and it has been amazing to have a gym to consistently go to while I’m in town. Dermot has been very accommodating to work out a membership deal for me with my unique situation, and I could not be more grateful! Whether you are local and looking for a new gym to work out at, or only in town for a little bit, I highly recommend Smashbox!

Expérience fantastique: I love the environment of the gym, welcoming, friendly and uplifting, I really don't have anything bad to say about it.

Expérience fantastique: I have been going to Smashbox for about 6 months now. Whether you are looking for an open gym or Cross-fit/hyrox classes I do not have enough great things to say about this gym and all the coaches! Specifically having previous back injuries, Dermot and all of the coaches have played a huge role in rehabbing my back. I can happily say my back has not felt this way in almost 10 years!

Expérience fantastique: SMASHBOX is hands down the best fitness community I've ever been a part of. The personal training is top-notch, with coaches who are both knowledgeable and motivating. The CrossFit classes are intense but rewarding, and the supportive atmosphere from instructors and other members helps push you further into your potential. As a woman, I really appreciate the sense of community and respect that allows me to zone in on my own fitness goals without distractions. SMASHBOX always leaves me feeling both challenged and empowered.

Expérience fantastique: Dropped in at Smashbox on a recent trip to Toronto and it was great. The gym is a 10 minute walk from King and Bay, it's clean, has great equipment and friendly staff. I usually have to uber to a gym someplace in Toronto to get my workouts in. This was perfect, short walk in the morning, do a workout, grab a coffee and I'm ready for the day. Try this gym is a gem!

Expérience fantastique: I started personal training sessions with Dermot after a looooong time away from regular exercise. I’ve always struggled to establish and maintain a routine, so my main aim for signing up was to build up some skills and confidence from a round of personal training — and transition into doing it solo. Dermot has been great. He took some time getting to know me and the kind of exercise I like, and worked that into our sessions so I was having fun as well as working hard. A few months later I’m in a routine now, and I’m actually enjoying it — which is something that’s been missing before, and will hopefully motivate me to keep going.

Expérience fantastique: I've done CrossFit in the past, and gotten a lot of injuries. I really wanted to get fit post-pandemic, and Dermot's been great at helping me achieve my goals. I've been going consistently, and he's been attentive to my form, while pushing me to reach my potential. I'm really happy with my progress, and Dermot is an awesome coach. The gym is also decked out, with everything you'd want. Great place. Great team!

Expérience fantastique: If you're looking for a gym that prioritizes excellence, community, and camaraderie, look no further. The coaches are not only highly skilled and experienced but also incredibly passionate about helping athletes reach their full potential. Their attention to technique and form is unmatched, ensuring safety while maximizing performance. Overall a very motivating and inspiring environment to train in. I have visited and trained at many boxes and I can confidently say that SMASHBOX provides excellent care for their customers, ensuring they get the best possible experience while training. Job well done!

Expérience fantastique: Very nice place!

Expérience fantastique: I’ve been going to Smashbox for the last 4 months and it has been an all round fantastic experience! The coaches are great and really care about ensuring you have proper technique and form. I love that there is a good amount of space to workout, especially considering the gym is right downtown. Smashbox has become an integral part of my routine and definitely can see the difference it makes in my health and wellbeing!

Expérience fantastique: Awesome box! I was staying in Downtown Toronto in November and had a chance to work out at Smashbox and I loved everything about it. The gym is very clean and well-equipped. Dermot is a wonderful coach (Only one I worked with) but the staff in general were super friendly and knowledgeable. Pricing is also better than other boxes around the area. I definitely recommend it and will for sure stop by next time I'm in the area.

Expérience fantastique: Dropped in for Open Gym while in town for work. The gym has everything you could need, is well organized and clean, and Dermot is super accommodating and flexible when scheduling gym time. Exactly what I needed to continue with my home gym's programming while on the road. Couldn't be more thankful.

Expérience fantastique: Smashbox is everything you want in a Crossfit box, new equipment, experienced coaching, and a friendly clean, environment. I was so impressed with my group class coach Demot that I booked him for personal training. As someone who travels frequently and gets to see all kinds of CrossFits I can confidently say Smashbox is a terrific addition to downtown.

Expérience fantastique: Whether you live in Toronto or are passing through I’d highly recommend Smashbox. I came for work for 2 months in Toronto and wanted to continue my CrossFit training. If you have had experience with CrossFit or not, Dermot, the founder and main trainer, did a great job balancing everyone’s fitness levels and showed modifications to whatever people needed. In just the first few weeks it felt like home. It was a safe environment to workout, everything was clean, and all of the people were very welcoming. The space is big for being in a city and I never felt on top of anyone while working out. The biggest draw for me, especially in comparison to any other ‘class’ based gym, is that there is an option for open gym. Since my work schedule couldn’t always allow me to make it to class, I was able to schedule open gym slots to come on my own time and either do the WOD or my own workout. If you live in Toronto or are just passing through I’d highlyyy recommend dropping in on a class and trying it out!

Expérience fantastique: Awesome box in a great downtown location. Dropped in twice while visiting from the UK for a few days. Will be back for sure! Great programming and coaching

Expérience fantastique: Did a drop in on a Sunday am and it was great! Dermot is informative, attentive and in tune with his customers. Very welcoming, new equipment, ample space and very clean. Great programming with appropriate warmup. Will definitely be back!

Expérience fantastique: By far the best drop in experience I have ever had. Dermot was extremely responsive, accommodating, personable, and welcoming. The facility was very clean and well equipped.

Expérience fantastique: I recently had the pleasure of discovering Smashbox, and it made a significant impact on my fitness journey during my one-month stay in Downtown Toronto. During my short but intense one-month membership at Smashbox, I witnessed a remarkable improvement in my skills and fitness level. The coaching and guidance provided was invaluable. I left feeling not only physically stronger but also more confident in my abilities. Dermot, a CrossFit Games competitor and athlete, is an inspirational figure with an unwavering commitment to motivating and pushing their clients to achieve their best. Whether you're a seasoned CrossFitter or a beginner looking to start your fitness journey, I highly recommend checking out Smashbox. It's a place that fosters companionship, motivation, and dedication, making it a perfect fit for anyone seeking to elevate their fitness game.

Expérience fantastique: Great experience dropping in while I was in town for a few days. Great space and equipment, and Dermot couldn’t be nicer or more knowledgeable. Will definitely be back!

Expérience fantastique: Dermit, is the man

Expérience fantastique: I was visiting Toronto and in order not to lose my exercise routine, I contacted Dermot in advance to do a Drop In. I recommend that if you are visiting Toronto. You will not regret it. In addition to being an extremely clean and organized box, Dermot as a personal trainer is excellent. A pass only as a tourist, he was aware of my workout, he also recommended improvement in my postures and my execution. I really liked the treatment of him and his Latin client like me, I felt very good, do not hesitate to visit him if she is passing through Toronto

Expérience fantastique: Over the past month I have been working out at SMASHBOX Performance and Fitness while visiting Toronto, and could not rate the experience highly enough. Location: Very centrally located in downtown Toronto, with easy access to public transportation. Equipment: While at its heart it’s a Crossfit Box, nevertheless it is incredibly well equipped with a wide range of free weights, squat racks, rings, sled, cardio machines etc that would likely support whatever your fitness objective may be (Power lifting, hyrox, calisthenics etc). Scheduling: The SMASHBOX schedule is incredibly accommodating for both members and drop ins. Management/Ownership/Environment: Dermot and the team go out of their way to create a home away from home environment. In doing so he has managed to attract a community of people who both work hard, and support each other. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Smashbox, and very much look forward to returning for additional sessions in the future.

Expérience fantastique: Had the pleasure of dropping in at this gym while visiting and staying in downtown Toronto. Dermot is extremely friendly and welcoming which made for pleasant experience. Definitely recommend this gym and I’ll be back next time I’m in town!

Expérience fantastique: I recently joined Smashbox and it’s definitely helping me work toward my fitness goals. The trainers are friendly and motivating and focus on strength training, athletics, injury prevention, and more. It’s great for solo workout as well as classes. The atmosphere of the gym is very welcoming. Everyone is friendly but also understand personal space. This was also my first time trying CrossFit and I was pleasantly surprised.

Expérience fantastique: Absolutely love this gym! The programming of the workouts is excellent - the best ive seen across all of the crossfit gyms ive been to around the world. Its both fun and challenging and with the help of the team at Smashbox I was able to achieve my goals, create new ones and continue to stretch. Its a great supportive environment and really motivational

Expérience fantastique: I stayed in the Toronto Financial District for three days and I was in the searched of a CrossFit Gym. This is how I found SMASHBOX Performance and Fitness. What amazed me of this box/gym was to find a space, atmosphere, environment, vibe, attitude (whatever you prefer calling it) where I wanted to belong and make it my own lyceum. Dermot, the owner, founder and principal is a knowledgeable CrossFit competitor athlete, a truly inspirational figure with a motivational fluidity and a good Irish no bullsh@t attitude (check the website to learn about him). If lived in Toronto, this would be, without hesitation, my second home.

Expérience fantastique: I initially chose this place for a drop-in because the location was perfect but I really enjoyed working out here during my short stay in Toronto. Dermot is attentive and detailed - he knows how to motivate you without screaming into your ears. It's also the cleanest crossfit box I've ever seen, with good equipments :) thanks D and see you again!

Expérience fantastique: Very fortunate to find this box nearby my lodging during my week of travels for work. I can tell this place will be my home away from home for training! Beautiful facility, knowledgeable coach, & welcoming members. Be sure to drop by if you’re in the area!

Expérience fantastique: If I could give this location 10 stars, I would! Dermot and the community that he has built were extremely welcoming and informative. The gym itself has everything a crossfitter needs and the fob access is invaluable for someone trying to fitness around a work schedule. And the cherry on top... an adorable gym doggy!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Expérience fantastique: Dropped in during a work trip. Amazing location, awesome equipment, and fantastic programming. Dermot made me feel like I was at my home box. I know where to find my CrossFit community in Toronto next time I'm in town.

Expérience fantastique: Dermot took really great care of me while I was in Toronto in business. Spotless gym, super well fitted out. The feel of personal training and the culture and community of CrossFit in an unbeatable location.

Expérience fantastique: I was in town for a conference and needed a place to complete my competitive CrossFit programming. After looking at a lot of CrossFit gyms (which only offer classes), I was happy to stumble upon Smashbox, which offers all-day open gym access to drop-in visitors. This gym has all the equipment you could possibly ask for and is kept very clean and organized. The owner, Dermot, was also extremely nice and accommodating. As a bonus: turns out Dermot is a Games athlete! It's cool that he just "got it" -- I didn't have to explain myself and why I needed 2-3 hours of gym time. He checked in with me daily, and even gave me some nice pointers on oly lifts. Highly recommend this place to anyone in/visiting Toronto wanting a great place to work out. I'll definitely be returning when I'm back in town.

Expérience fantastique: In town for work so I figured why not get a quick workout in- glad I did! Great gym and staff, super clean and although cozy- classes are capped to leave everyone with plenty of room. Don’t think about it- don’t be intimidated- jump in! You’ll love it!

Expérience fantastique: I recently had the opportunity to drop-in at Crossfit Smashbox for a couple of open gym sessions while visiting Toronto. Crossfit Smashbox is conveniently located in downtown Toronto, just a couple of blocks from the St. Andrew subway station. Dermot was very welcoming, and more than willing to accommodate my variable work schedule. The gym was neat, clean and filled with everything you’d expect in a modern Crossfit box, with some additional specialty items (e.g., Eleiko open trap bar; Earthquake bar, Assault runners) which were much appreciated. I’ve dropped in at many, many boxes across Canada in my travels, and Smashbox ranks up there with the best of them. I will definitely visit again when passing through Toronto.

Expérience fantastique: I’ve been working out at smashbox with dermot’s programing for 6 weeks now. So far I’ve lost 5 pounds and improved on all the weaknesses we identified in my physique most importantly it’s remedied many of my mobility issues. Dermot has been amazing to work with. Not only has he personalized my workouts to address issues that were causing me pain, he’s managed to scale them to meet my growing capabilities and meet my fitness goals! I highly recommend coming to this gym to see it. the space is truly a dream gym with the modularity to meet any workout requirement. Dermot is dedicated to constantly improving the functionality and brining new challenges to his client through classes.

Expérience fantastique: If you have been through injury, never went to the gym or doubt you can go to the gym, I was too but SMASHBOX changed that. Post-surgery, I was really afraid of pushing my body. I went from confidently playing rugby to being afraid of doing a single ab movement. Dermot at SMASHBOX in just about 5 1-hour sessions guided me through understanding what my body needed. After the first 5, I've worked towards actionable goals of building my body up step by step with Dermot. It's an incredible space that's ruthlessly cleaned and operated by individuals devoted to ensuring you have the highest quality experience with their great selection of equipment. Whether you want to work towards a goal or have a comfortable place to exercise, take a look through the website and reach out. I didn't know how I would return to working out after so much but I was glad to have SMASHBOX guide me through.

Expérience fantastique: Great space right downtown! Super close to work. The equipment is top notch and the owners and staff really know their stuff!

Expérience fantastique: Smashbox is a great crossfit style gym with a unique touch. It provides a medium-sized, open concept space for individuals to customize their workouts, is very well equipped for its size, and is perfect for an experienced lifter or someone that's just getting started. Like most crossfit gyms, you won't attend a workout with a lot people in the space, which is great if you're there to focus on the work. The space doesn't allow for a large amount of people to occupy it simultaneously, which means you're not constantly waiting for equipment, and can focus on getting your workout done at an effective rate. The owner/operator is a very well experienced & decorated professional in the industry, and does everything possible to help you get comfortable and knowledgable about exercising. He, along with the others I've met in my time here, make the experience very enjoyable and something I look forward to every week!

Expérience fantastique: I have been coming to Smashbox for some time now, both for personal workouts and to train clients. The space is large, clean and open concept with a variety of high end equipment to suit the needs of a variety of athletes and the community is friendly and inviting. Drop in rates are very reasonable and booking the space is easy and efficient. Highly recommend.

Expérience fantastique: Smashbox fit is definitely an environment where you feel comfortable and supported to become your best. The environment is amazing and super chill. I highly recommend if you’re looking to hit new goals on your fitness journey.

Expérience fantastique: Dermot is dedicated, very knowledgeable, and motivational. Important traits to consider for personal training and other fitness services. He keeps workouts fun and different, and is genuinely committed to helping me meet my fitness milestones. The man himself is in incredible shape and competes in CrossFit internationally. It also helps that he’s easy on the eyes.

Expérience fantastique: As soon as you step in you recognize you're somewhere special. Training at Smashbox under the programming of Dermot has had me change my fitness & athletic performance dramatically in the last 15 months. Others in the space are always welcoming & the facility has all of the equipment you need for any accommodations you may need. Thank you for the fantastic experience!

Expérience fantastique: Worked out with Dermot and his facility is incredible and his workout discipline and approach is second to none. Highly recommended for all levels of fitness

Expérience fantastique: The perfect gym experience. The space is inviting, spotless and organized, and every piece of equipment is top quality and flawlessly maintained. You'll usually share it with just a few people at a time—this is an extremely intimate place that allows you to focus on both mind and body. The programming is awesome, too. It's completely customized to your goals and abilities: always responsible and balanced to avoid injury and burnout, but always challenging enough so that you're seeing and feeling significant results. And believe me, you will.

Expérience fantastique: If you want to get down to business and be a badass, SMASHBOX is the place to make it happen. The intimate space is free of the nuisance and distractions of commercial gyms and the equipment is top notch. I have achieved so much in the 3 years I have been working out at SMASHBOX. It’s a comfortable and supportive environment where I can confidently focus on my program. I seldom have to wait for equipment because access to the gym is scheduled and limited to only a few athletes at a time. The gym has a community of inspiring, growth-minded, kind people that I am honoured to be a member of. While many serious, elite athletes train at SMASHBOX, the atmosphere is completely welcoming no matter where you are in your journey toward badassery (or whatever goal you’re pursuing.) For the past year, Dermot has also been my coach. He programs all of my workouts and we have personal training sessions at least once a month. I have ascended to greater heights as a competitive powerlifter this season and am grateful for Dermot's role in my success. I especially value his depth of experience as a professional athlete and masters competitor, and how generously he shares his wisdom. SMASHBOX is a game-changer and a gains-maker!

Expérience fantastique: I have been training at SMASHBOX for over 2 years. My initial goal was to get coaching in and improve high skill movements, specifically pull-ups.  I also wanted to be coached by someone who was attuned to the needs of those 40+. Regardless of your fitness level or expertise, or even if you just want to find an amazing and supportive environment to encourage you to get faster, stronger, fitter, I highly recommend SMASHBOX . SMASHBOX is inclusive, warm, welcoming, supportive, and a great learning environment, but most importantly, FUN. There are people of ALL skill levels working out together and everyone is supportive, friendly, and encouraging. The space is well maintained, thoughtfully laid out, with top-notch equipment such as Eleiko, and Rogue, for varied programming. The programming is excellent, thorough, individualized and constantly varied; it can include Olympic weightlifting, gymnastics, strength training, and aerobic conditioning. Lifestyle coaching is also available to assist with nutrition, sleep and overall lifestyle improvements that translate to gym gains! The programming is evidence-driven, well thought out, provides progressions for beginner athletes and skill development and evolution for even the most experienced athletes. What makes the programming even better is the talented, professional, experienced, and methodical coaching staff, who are patient and always encouraging.  Also, I REALLY appreciate that the programming is focused on creating good foundations for movement, teaching good technique, and always emphasizing safety/injury prevention. As for me, after 2+ years of training at SMASHBOX I smashed my goal of being able to do one unassisted pullup within the first few months and have since progressed to higher skill gymnastic movements such as chest-to-bar pullups, toes-to-bar, and handstand pushups, and have found myself fitter, stronger, and excited about my ongoing fitness journey at the age of 53!  The community and training are a highlight of my busy days, and have such a positive impact on my mental health My 18-year old son has also started training at SMASHBOX and I am overjoyed at the transformation in his fitness, skills, confidence, and demeanour.  SMASHBOX is my happy place; let it be yours too.

Expérience fantastique: Smashbox is a hidden gem in an amazing location in Toronto. I’ve enjoyed private workouts with my best friend there and on my own. The equipment is bran new and it has everything I need! Wide variety of kettlebells and dumbbells and lots of space to do body-weight workouts. Easy access and never crowded. Highly recommend!

Expérience fantastique: This has been a great space to focus on a targeted mission of improving body and mind. The space is laid out perfectly to accomplish this.... When it's an important piece of equipment, the best and the correct piece has been sourced. And the equipment is kept is tip top condition. It's evident that this place is taken care of, and is led by a professional athlete. The group of people coming here have an athletic focus and a drive, in common. The ego is left at the door, and mutual support of each other's goals is the order of the day. We all have strains, and stresses and responsibilities, and a more nuanced, understanding and macro approach is taken here. All of this leads to long term sustainable outcomes, functional conditioning and minimizing setbacks.
