STAY GOLD

Expérience fantastique: My trainer Vincenza is the best! I have become so much stronger since i started ️‍♂️ with her at stay gold. Awesome gym, 10/10 would recommend

Expérience fantastique: I joined to practise a very basic weightlifting routine by myself, but ended up attending their excellent classes on the regular. Great, knowledgeable coaches and solid lift-heavy programming have allowed me to become much stronger than I thought possible. Love my mornings with you guys, thank you!!

Expérience fantastique: Positively gutted to be leaving SG after 6 solid years, but I'm moving out of the neighbourhood and will be too far to make the commute work. I joined in late 2018 and I've been consistently coming most weekday mornings, spending ~10 hours/week in the gym. I think of it as my second office, or home away from home. My lifting knowledge and strength gains have never grown more than during my time at Stay Gold. The regulars are a hard-working, ego-less crew, and pretty much everyone is an absolute sweetheart. Very sad to be leaving but immensely grateful for my time there. Thanks for everything you guys do for the neighbourhood and kudos on the brand you've built and community you've cultivated over the last several years. Hope to see you at a squat rack down the line.

Expérience fantastique: To say I am obsessed is an understatement!! I had never really enjoyed the gym, gym culture, and had very minimal experience lifting weights. Stay Gold changed my life, I’m stronger, more confident and feel amazing. The culture is amazing I feel like everyone can fit in. It’s not a cookie cutter gym and all the coaches are super supportive. I feel like the classes make you feel like you are part of the team and if I don’t show up I will let the team down and that’s the exact motivation I need!! I love it so much and so happy to be part of this! Highly recommend!!

Expérience fantastique: Stay Gold is one of the best gyms in Toronto regarding weight training. I have been coming here consistently since September. At first I was a bit nervous/intimidated by the classes, but the instructors made me feel so welcome and I kept coming back! You can be anywhere in your fitness journey; these classes would benefit you. Stay Gold offers a variety of small-group PT classes. You will never be in a class with more than 8 people. This allows the trainer to spend some extra time (if you need it) on answering any questions and ensuring you perfect your form. I have been doing the Gold Standard classes, but there are ICYHOT, Pilates, and Kettlebell Skills, as well as an open gym for you to do your own workout. The classes are a combination of mobility, skill building, and HIIT. They work different muscle groups each day, so are designed for you to attend daily. Every 6 weeks, you work on a new skill. Since I have been here, I have strengthened my ability to do a pistol squat, pull up, push up and KB snatch. I have nothing but good things to say about this gym, they have built a friendly little community and don't take themselves too seriously. I recommend it to anyone looking to weight train.

Expérience fantastique: Stay Gold is a great gym with an even better vibe. The small classes ensure you get individualized feedback. I was looking for a gym that didn’t have the typical gym bros, looks-obsessed hustle, and fitness “influencers” of other Toronto gyms. Stay Gold is good at building a community of people from all walks of life, at any stage of their fitness journey. Highly recommend.

Expérience fantastique: Stay Gold is a welcoming community where culture, inclusion, and personal growth thrive.

Expérience fantastique: STAY GOLD gym is fantastic! The atmosphere is motivating, and the staff is incredibly supportive. I love the variety of classes offered, and the community vibe makes every workout enjoyable. Highly recommend for anyone looking to reach their fitness goals!

Expérience fantastique: I joined the 6 week transformation challenge a few days ago and have been so impressed so far. The team really really cares! No upselling of regular gym shenanigans, just a focus on goals, community and safe introductions to fitness. Thank you!

Expérience fantastique: The people working at this gym make showing up fun.

Expérience fantastique: absolutely love this gym. The classes are intense and each trainer focuses on modifications to suit your needs all while being supportive and inspiring. Every time I go I learn new stretches and workout techniques/skills. The atmosphere is casual and friendly while maintaining professionalism. Shout out to Chris and Vincenza. Thank you for all you do :)

Expérience fantastique: Stay Gold is awesome! I felt unsure and self conscious about starting this work, and those concerns evaporated in the first 5 min. I feel so lucky to be working with Vincenza. She brings incredible knowledge to our sessions, carefully assessing where I am and meeting me there. Her approach is friendly, welcoming, and adaptive. I love type 2, suffery fun and I’m looking forward to getting into more of that here :)

Expérience fantastique: Hands down the best gym in Toronto! Comes with all the equipment you need with a good core group of people. Joel and Vincenza are super friendly and eager to help you be a better you!

Expérience fantastique: The BEST gym! Unreal classes and such a welcoming community

Expérience fantastique: I had been wanting to start taking a class at a gym for a long time but felt intimidated, as I work a pretty sedentary job and haven't done much exercise beyond long walks for quite some time. A friend of mine who was in a similar position started going to Stay Gold and was always raving about the classes so I decided to check it out. I really can't recommend them enough - the atmosphere is very relaxed and encouraging, and all the classes are highly accessible where the instructors will meet you where you are. Give it a chance and I'm sure you'll agree.

Expérience fantastique: I started going to Stay Gold this summer when I signed up for personal training sessions with Vincenza. I highly recommend not only the gym itself but also, if you're looking for a PT, to sign up with Vincenza. She has been incredibly supportive, tailoring workouts to my goals and pushing me just the right amount. The gym has a great atmosphere—clean, well-equipped, and welcoming. I also love that it's dog friendly and I can bring my pup with me to my workouts. The staff is always friendly, and it feels like a true community.

Expérience fantastique: Took a HYROX training here and it was fantastic. Probably one of the most welcoming and supportive gyms I’ve been to in the city - and I’ve been to many Toronto gyms. All the team members were personable, genuine and ready to help and cheer you on. It really made such a big difference taking such a challenging simulation to have people support you through when you feel like giving up. Looking forward to taking classes here soon!

Expérience fantastique: I recently participated in Staygold's Gym HYROX PFT event, and it was an incredible experience! The gym itself boasts an amazing space, with top-notch equipment and plenty of room to push yourself to the limit. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and supportive, ensuring everyone, from beginners to seasoned athletes, feels welcome and motivated. The energy in the room was electric, and the overall vibe made the challenge even more enjoyable. If you're looking for a high-quality workout experience, I highly recommend stopping by Staygold's Gym—whether for a HYROX event or a regular workout, it’s a must-visit!

Expérience fantastique: Gym that has everything community, equipment, classes, and cold plunge!

Expérience fantastique: great space & great vibes

Expérience fantastique: Awesome neighbourhood gem just tucked in an awesome warehouse . I loved doing the sauna and cold plunge in the lot as well!!

Expérience négative: You have no respect for the local community. Your gym is in a residential neighbourhood, yet you host block parties, the bass can be felt from blocks away, and the music is blaring. I tried reaching out to the owner about the last party they hosted and he blocked me. Tells me everything I need to know about your gym and the people who run it.

Expérience négative: Elitist influencer gym, not for everybody - fake reviews through promos

Expérience positive: I went with my friend to this gym. I already have a gym but we heard that it was large and beautiful on the inside. This was indeed the case, the machines are organized into muscle groups and colors… which is great. I felt 100% comfortable as a women here I checked out both the women’s only and everyone sections and both were great. The staff were very nice and helpful especially bell /bella ( I couldn’t fully remember)

Expérience fantastique: Just finished another one of Chris’s classes and loved it. Don’t know if my abs hurt more from laughing or crying (it was a very tough workout). Have been coming here for three or four months and he’s definitely my favourite instructor (though I like them all). Would definitely recommend Stay Gold if you don’t want a cookie-cutter gym experience.

Expérience fantastique: Such a great idea for a gym space- keeps you accountable, more cost effective, and then some really cool recovery all in the same place.

Expérience fantastique: Small classes allow for individualized attention and community building. Access to open gym adds a nice complement to the classes, if you're someone who likes doing your own program in addition to (or instead of) classes. Overall, the members (and their dogs) give this gym a quintessential Parkdale vibe. Have been a member 2+ years and expect to "stay" for a long time.

Expérience fantastique: The Stay Gold team is great. Classes are never more than 8 people so you never feel overlooked. This is also the only dog friendly gym in TO I’ve found so I never need to leave my dog behind!

Expérience fantastique: I can't speak highly enough of Stay Gold and the SG Community. From the first day walking in the doors, I could tell that this was a place I would feel comfortable training. It has everything you need for free weight, strength, mobility training, and more. Not to mention group classes (small group), super-knowledgeable trainers (shout out to Vin!), and community events. Genuinely, a true happy place for me. Come on by!

Expérience fantastique: The vibes! Supportive, encouraging coaches. The people care about what tgey do. Bonny is the ice master, hot sauna/cold bath after a workout feels amazing. Not too bougie or slick like some gyms, feels more relaxed and genuinely friendly. But the workouts are Fierce and emphasize good technique. Cool design and art. And dogs chilling! What's not to love? Parkdale still has heart

Expérience fantastique: What a gem Stay Gold is! I've been trialling different gyms to find an option to progress my recovery at a safe pace with space to learn correct form and support over competition and a focus on numbers. I found my first session inclusive, welcoming and accessible for people at different physical levels, the instructor Val was informed, patient with my questions and supportive. I'm looking forward to being a regular in their classes.

Expérience fantastique: Love the small group classes! Great way to keep improving on form and stay motivated. Exactly what I was looking for to mix up my regular strength training.

Expérience fantastique: I did the 5 class trial and I am super impressed with this gym. Classes are a nice size which allows the instructor to pay attention and correct form. Great friendly environment to boot!

Expérience fantastique: Just joined last week and have tried 2 classes and the open gym a handful of times. Awesome place that really has it all. Community, Equipment, Location, Indoor/Outdoor, Dogs! It's the best. Excited to try my first Icy Hot class tonight.

Expérience fantastique: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can't recommend Stay Gold Gym highly enough! The instructors Vin and Armando are absolute gems. They not only ensure you're using the correct form but also push you to your limits, helping you achieve your fitness goals faster than you thought possible. What sets Stay Gold apart is their diverse exercise routines that change daily, keeping workouts exciting and effective. If you're looking for a gym where you'll be challenged, supported, and motivated, look no further than Stay Gold!

Expérience fantastique: This place rules. Best gym around

Expérience fantastique: Stay Gold has been the sidekick to my run training and provided me an avenue to explore the boundaries of my strength, and how to continue to build it. Community first, athletes second is what keeps brining me back.

Expérience fantastique: What’s not to love about stay gold? Stay gold is not only a gym but a community. A community filled with ambitious members and coaches that support each other through a mutual love for fitness. Each coach brings something different to the table And I leave every class feeling stronger and more confident than ever. I personally feel I’ve bettered my lifestyle and health drastically since becoming a member at stay gold. Cheers to many more amazing sessions at stay gold! ✨

Expérience fantastique: Great trainers and facility!

Expérience fantastique: Very welcoming and good classes

Expérience négative: I had the opportunity to try Stay Gold out through a promo that was sent to me, it was worded in a way that I thought I would get to have an assessment to start my journey with StayGold and I had understood incorrectly. I had spoke to someone through email and they had recommended me a coach connect with according to what I shared I need in my exercise. So I signed up for a flow yoga class with the coach that was recommended to me. I was stoked to check out the gym since they have ice bath/sauna therapy and small group classes that would possibly fit my needs. Upon arrival I realized I did not inquire about parking and so was confused where I was permitted to park. There is a code given for entree and that added another layer of annoyance because I was having a hard time finding the code to enter the gym. Fortunately someone was going in and I went on in. *it doesn’t matter that no one has mentioned having an issue. Maybe some people don’t want to when the responder is defensive.* There is no entrance really, it is confusing as to where to go upon entering. There is more than one floor and the noise from the class upstairs was abrupt and unpleasant to start things off. There didn’t seem to be any one to check-in with, and then when I finally figured out where I would be doing my class there wasn’t any instruction or initiative from the coach as to what was going on. The room was kept dark and that was nice except for the fact that there is a wall that has bright white lights that are again unpleasant for someone who struggles with sensory issues.*again a defensive response to my valid challenges and many others* I moved spots because of the unbearably bright light and was still uncomfortable because the couple spots that wouldn’t be affected by it were already taken up. The class was not what I expected, in the sense that I thought because it’s small classes the coaches would be able to be more hands on with in regard to adjusting or suggesting adjustments. I did the class, despite the many pains (new and chronic) that came up and I adjusted according to what I know of my body and movements. At the end of the class there was no interaction from the coach, no check in of how things went, and considering I was asking questions at the beginning I figured that they would check in with me. there seemed to be No interest in me as a human let alone a possible member. So first visit not so great. 2nd visit was icy/hot therapy and again confusing to enter. I couldn’t find the code I needed and when I arrived it was unclear of what was happening and how things work for the class, the descriptions are deceiving and I was under the impression there would have been a bit more guidance. The instructor was a community volunteer and lovely person who did share bits of knowledge throughout the class about the icy/hot therapy method. Though it would have been effective and made sense if there was full instruction at the beginning, especially for first timers. There are 3 ice baths and a sauna that I found way too small for the amount of people attending. I understood that this was a temporary setup and that the gym has plans to incorporate icy/hot into the building and not as an outdoor separate section. So not accurate for me to dive too deep in reviewing that. So to conclude I found there to be a lot of smoke and mirrors and there doesn’t seem to be much of a community within the establishment. This was not at all the environment I was expecting. **the review responder the emotional immaturity of your response to my review solidifies my thought that this place is not what it seems and has real good advertising**

Expérience fantastique: Stay Gold has done an incredible job by giving me the best experience I've had with a gym ever. The staff have been very welcoming since day one, and have been a crucial part in my fitness journey. Their small-group classes get you sweating and working hard, as well as educating you through a diverse set of exercises, great for beginners and even better for those experienced who want to learn more. 5/5 !!!!!

Expérience fantastique: I've really enjoyed my first few classes at Stay Gold. Everyone' super friendly and welcoming, there's a real community vibe. The gym is clean and well equipped. I love that class sizes are small so you get a lot of attention from instructors for form corrections as well as general encouragement. I feel challenged by the classes and can see myself making real gains at Stay Gold. The gym dogs are a huge bonus.

Expérience fantastique: This gym OMG! If you’re looking for a place to thrive, they’ve got u! I’m a working mom, so my schedules vary from time to time, it was hard for me to find the time to go to a gym, since sometimes I have to care for my child and can’t leave her home. In other gyms I felt incapable of going with her without being judge or stared at, I love that if I have to work out she can go with me and wait at the waiting area or beside me. Schedules are awesome, they have something for everyone. I can workout whenever I please. The group classes are so cool. I was so intimidated at first, but the trainers are so welcoming, patient and uplifting, they make you want to do it, and do it right. I love Val’s and Chris’ class so much they’re great people! Can’t say enough 100% recommended!!!

Expérience fantastique: Great gym and lovely trainers! Love the small group classes as it really makes the experience feel personal. The coaches really care about supporting you and helping you achieve your goals. Everyone has been incredibly friendly and welcoming since day 1. Also would highly recommend the yoga class!

Expérience positive: After 12 weeks, it's just a very expensive gym with few classes. The open gym is well stocked though.

Expérience fantastique: My friends and I did a private sauna / ice bath session with instructor Bonny at Stay Gold and it was really fantastic. I'm a sauna / spa addict and have tried many options in Toronto and other cities. I believe Stay Gold has regular scheduled sessions you can sign up for but it was wonderful that they could accommodate our party of 4 at a specific time. We were all thrilled that the sauna was HOT. Lots of larger spas keep their Sauna's at a lower temperature to likely accommodate older folks or the less experienced Sauna fans, but thankfully this was properly hot hot hot. We also loved the setting and vibe. The Sauna and Ice Bath's are in an outdoor courtyard of sorts where I believe the gym also does training in the summer. It felt kind of like the set of a video game with big tractor tires lying around, which sounds weird but it was a really chill vibe. It felt more like we could be ourselves and goof around. We were a co-ed party celebrating a birthday and it would have been much different being in a "quiet" spa where the sauna's are separated between gendered change rooms. It was great to go somewhere a short walk from where we live and step into this experience with a chill and casual vibe. Bonny was also a great guide for the ice baths. She coached us well and was a fun presence with our little crew. I will definitely plan to go more times through the winter.

Expérience fantastique: I joined Stay Gold with specific goals related to fitness testing for my college program. I joined in August, and just passed my fitness test yesterday. Not only was the community engaging and supportive, but the instructors took interest and encouraged me to get to where I needed to be. Special shout out to Vincenza for teaching me the fundamentals of proper lifting techniques, ideal body mechanics, and how to improve, and to Armando for pushing me to the next level, and helping me mimic my fitness test so I could go in feeling confident. I came in not very familiar with a gym setting, to someone who is discovering their own strengths and trying to build on them. I look forward to sticking around to maintain my strength and aim for new challenges along the way. The gym pups are also a huge perk!

Expérience fantastique: Stay Gold is great! Everyone’s friendly, positive, the classes are focused and challenging but approachable for beginners. A great place if you’re just starting out (me), and also for those with a lot of experience

Expérience fantastique: Stay Gold is a great place to grow your mental and physical strength. The facilities are clean, and the staff is friendly. Stay Gold has unique classes like the icy hot - Sauna/IceBath. There is plenty of free parking in the area.

Expérience fantastique: Greay facilities and staff! I tried the Icyhot (Sauna/Ice) session. Excellent experience with amazing people guiding you. Definitely recommend to reset the body! Will be going back for their other services

Expérience négative: I loved this gym very much under old ownership. Felt like a great space that was truly for the community. New ownership came in with some awful money grab ideas that in my opinion diminished what was originally built. It went from being a place I felt connected to, to a place I felt I was just a number. Really unfortunate

Expérience fantastique: Totally different workout to one I've done anywhere in the city! Loved being outside in the sun, running around the park, and the tire flipping type exercises that work ALL your muscles. Sore today :)

Expérience fantastique: I love this place already. Such a GREAT gym…a mix of kind people with different strengths, terrific equipment, a gritty-meets-designed aesthetic. My new gym-home in Toronto.

Expérience fantastique: This is by far the best gym I have ever gone too! It's not just a gym, its a real community. Feeling very grateful to have come across this place. The classes have been such a great refresher and confidence boost for lifting weights. The trainers really care about ensuring your safety and form is 100% which results in you getting closer to your goals!

Expérience fantastique: I take classes with Val, they are amazing!

Expérience fantastique: I love this place! You also get to bring your doggy!

Expérience fantastique: Freya is so amazing and supportive! I shattered my wrist last year, and after a long period of casts and X-rays, I was excited for Athletic Therapy to get the flexibility and strength back. Freya created exercises that used things I already had around my home, so I didn't need to buy new equipment. The exercises were always adapted to my needs, because she used deep-tissue massage to see exactly which muscles were over- or underworked, but she was always ready to adapt and scale back if an exercise was too painful. Freya was so encouraging, and kept a great record of my progress so I could see how well my wrist was healing and feel motivated to keep trying!

Expérience fantastique: Great weekend experience! I had the opportunity to take Technical and Pad Mastery, the way each class was conducted got me engaged 100% of the time. Even though I'm very new to technical boxing, I never felt discouraged or left behind when I took Jay’s class. That tells a lot about the importance of delivering a great experience. Thank you, Jay! your energy, expertise and professionalism are outstanding.

Expérience fantastique: So excited to join Jungle! I’ve done classes with Bryan, Quincy and Jay and absolutely love the attention to detail on mobility, form, and technique. Their expertise, patience, and passion for what they do really motivates me to learn more and continue to improve each day. My body feels so connected! No matter what skill level you are, they will cater to your needs. I’m hooked and the energy is AMAZING!!

Expérience fantastique: First time using weights in ages, our instructor Keith was super knowledgeable and welcoming ! Had a great time and will be back soon!

Expérience fantastique: Coming back into the city this gym is what I was looking for. Small classes with an open gym, great coaches and like minded individuals.

Expérience fantastique: I can't say enough good things about The Jungle. Quality instructors with a high level of knowledge and expertise paired with an inclusive and positive vibe! 10/10

Expérience fantastique: I attended the Sunday BE YOU class and it was great! The instructor was helpful and encouraging without being pushy, and they provided lots of accommodations and variations for people of differing fitness levels. I had a great time and a good workout, and I will definitely be back.

Expérience fantastique: Amazing technical boxing class at JUNGLE TO. I highly recommend joining. For my first class I felt welcomed and learned new things when it comes to boxing that I didn’t know before. It is for everyone. Jay was an excellent teacher. He helped me have proper form plus very patient. One thing I look for in a gym is kindness, welcoming and learning I got all of that at jungle TO.

Expérience fantastique: Great gym facilities. Love the open gym concept where you book a time and can do some self directed workouts. They also have an app that you can use to follow along if you need inspiration. The sauna/ice bath is an amazing experience. And the cute dogs are so fun to have around. Can’t wait to go back!

Expérience fantastique: Stay Gold is an exceptional fitness studio located in Toronto, ON that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a top-notch workout experience. From the moment you walk in, you are greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that immediately puts you at ease. The instructors at Stay Gold are some of the best in the business, and they are incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and motivating. They take the time to get to know each and every client, and they tailor their classes to meet the needs and goals of each individual. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced athlete, you will find a class that is challenging, fun, and rewarding. What I love most about Stay Gold is the sense of community that they have created. The staff and clients are all incredibly friendly and supportive, and they create a positive and uplifting environment that makes you want to come back again and again. Whether you are looking to lose weight, build strength, or just improve your overall fitness, Stay Gold is the perfect place to do it. I cannot recommend this studio enough!

Expérience fantastique: I’ve done a class and the ice bath/sauna. BOTH WERE INCREDIBLE. I felt really comfortable the entire time and I genuinely had so much fun. Vincenza is lovely, she takes the time to check your form and I loved the warm up routine. Joel was great and full of knowledge. Loved the set up, there was extra slippers and cute hats to wear in the sauna! I have yet to try the outdoor classes in the summer but definitely will be coming to do that at some point.

Expérience fantastique: Great workout. Coaches Jay, Bryan and Niko are knowledgeable, attentive, and absolutely motivating. Took the Technical Boxing class and it was fun and challenging at the same time! Get ready to work, sweat and have a blast.

Expérience fantastique: I absolutely love this place and their emphasis on community. It is such a welcoming environment. The classes are built around tried-and-true exercises and the trainers give great instruction. I'd recommend this gym to anyone, regardless of your level of experience.

Expérience fantastique: Highly recommend their in-house sports therapist, Freya. I have had several sports related injuries over the past decade that all went under treated and have become chronic problems. I have seen so many doctors, physiotherapists, massage therapists, sports doctors, chiropractors, etc, all with their own theory and all prescribing different things that only left me frustrated (and in some cases, the "care" provided was traumatizing). In 10 years, Freya was the first therapist to actually LISTEN to my concerns/theories AND INCLUDE THEM in her diagnostic analysis. She practices from a trauma-informed perspective and offers many opportunities for the patient to feel safe and to weigh in on their own care THROUGHOUT the process. Not only does she embody care, grace, space, professionalism, and collaboration, but she is also extremely knowledgeable about her craft and focused on actual results, not just band-aid fixes. I am definitely going back so I can finally get my chronic pain treated by someone who is as invested as I am in a positive and lasting outcome.

Expérience fantastique: Great gym in Parkdale! Has everything you need for a variety of training methods (crossfit, powerlifting, bodybuilding, etc.). Also has an amazing outdoor training area, with a great culture. 10/10.

Expérience fantastique: Incredible equipment, amazing atmosphere - everything you need!

Expérience fantastique: I've participated in the group weightlifting classes over the last couple of months and really enjoy them. The classes are quite small so I feel that the instructor is around to check and assist with form at all times. There were varying levels of lifters in my class and I never felt out of place as a beginner which was fab. Looking forward to trying some of the other classes over the next little while!

Expérience fantastique: Stay Gold is a wonderful community oriented gym. The founders, trainers, staff and members are an absolute delight to spend time with. Stay Gold fosters a great atmosphere for all SG athletes! For those who are new to Toronto or going to a gym, you will find a welcoming, accepting and supportive community. Pop in for a visit and get to know the Stay Gold team - they are sweet folks!

Expérience fantastique: Stay Gold is more than just a gym. They are really a community hub - from the community fridge on their property, to their inclusive programming, Stay Gold is awesome. This place has it all - amazing gym facilities, hot/cold therapy, and an awesome outdoor space. A must join!

Expérience fantastique: Stay Gold is so great! All the instructors are friendly, welcoming and are so skilled and knowledgeable when it comes to explaining new exercises and how to do weight training safely and with confidence. Love the atmosphere and working out here.

Expérience fantastique: This gym has a great atmosphere and staff to help you achieve your goals!

Expérience fantastique: Great people and great space make for a great community. Wouldn’t change a thing.

Expérience fantastique: Stay Gold Gym is one of those rare finds, the kind of “special” that once you discover it, you don’t let it go. I’ve been a member of many gyms over the years. For the most part, although different names and spaces, there is very little to distinguish one from the other, and it’s so easy to feel like “just a number” in some of these huge franchises. Here’s where Stay Gold comes in and breaks the mold. From the moment you enter, you can feel the positivity. The staff, trainers and members are friendly, welcoming, and helpful (and you can often find dogs hanging around, which is just the sweetest thing!). The space is inclusive, comfortable, and motivating and there is so much flexibility around when and how you want to work out, whether it be in a class (they are awesome!), on your own, or a little bit of both. No matter what you choose, it will have you coming back for more! Underscoring it all, Stay Gold is a gym with heart, conscience, and purpose, always growing and evolving. It is clear that this is a gym run by a team who truly cares. I’m thrilled to have found this gem and am so grateful to be able to consider myself part of the Stay Gold community!

Expérience fantastique: Great gym! A welcoming space with knowledgeable and helpful trainers. Really love all the classes they have available. Perfect for summer workouts!

Expérience fantastique: Great spot that supports the fitness community in Parkdale

Expérience fantastique: an amazing space filled with equally amazing people, without question the best gym in the city!

Expérience fantastique: Great atmosphere and facility in a cool neighborhood. We really like the merch too.

Expérience fantastique: It's a hidden gem in Parkdale. This space is cool with zero protention. Great workout space with great equipment, huge outdoor workout space and the new outdoor sauna and cold plunge was a fantastic way to recover.

Expérience fantastique: Amazing hot/cold therapy experience. Great setup and intimate setting!

Expérience fantastique: Amazing people and facilities. Can’t say enough about how much of a gem Stay Gold is for the local community striving to get better mentally and physically. Joel and his team are tops.

Expérience fantastique: I took a series of Olympic lifting courses with Chris that were geared towards runners. Chris was awesome, really worked with each of us to meet us where we were at in terms of knowledge and ability. He created a lovely and fun dynamic with our group, and was particularly good at learning more about our specific goals and tailoring the classes to exercises that made the most sense for us. Overall a very positive experience, learned a lot, got strong! Glad to have Stay Gold in our community!

Expérience fantastique: SG truly is a gym that has something for everyone. You want to do your own workout? A group class? Mobility class? Do an ice bath/sauna? The list goes on. I have really liked the group classes - trainers are super attentive and it’s a really motivating environment. Looking forward to hitting up more classes!

Expérience fantastique: Stay Gold is a great gym with a very inclusive and welcoming community. You won't feel intimidated or out of place. If you're new to working out or experienced, you'll feel welcome!

Expérience fantastique: This place is the best. Amazing staff and great vibe all around.

Expérience fantastique: Huge of fan of Joel and the whole team here. Incredibly supportive and inclusive. The space is great and they take great care of the community.

Expérience fantastique: great spot & community!

Expérience fantastique: Incredible gym, they have every piece of equipment you could need for a solid session. Looking forward to outdoor workouts in the summer!

Expérience fantastique: Great place to work out and amazing atmosphere. I’m a beginner and felt very welcomed from staff and other members. 10/10 would recommend.

Expérience fantastique: Such a fun and community-driven space. Everyone is really nice and I love the variety of equipment available. The sauna + icebath system is a gem!!

Expérience fantastique: Amazing gym. Great vibe. Clean. Friendly staff. Unique place

Expérience fantastique: Stay Gold is an amazing gym. There is lots of space great equipment in the open gym space. And the classes are suitable for all fitness levels. The people are always friendly. I particularly enjoy the outdoor space in the summer!

Expérience fantastique: Stay Gold is such an awesome place to workout - GREAT class options and a super friendly staff. Super convenient location too. Would recommend to all!

Expérience fantastique: Love! This Gym! Their classes are deffs for all levels of physically active people. The trainers are happy to meet you where you are at AND with their open gym, you can be sure to always have time to fit a workout in and do your own thing. Love the community: run club meet up, community fridge, the sauna! Obsessed
