CORE Forest Hill

Expérience fantastique: Can't say enough about CORE! Awesome coaches, fun classes, and great results. It’s a priority in my week! Highly recommended.

Expérience fantastique: Can only say great things about this place! Nile has been wonderful and super positive in his workouts.. I always love to come back here :)

Expérience fantastique: Core has always been both motivating and challenging. Pushing me to my limits that I didn't know I had. The structure of class as well as booking the class are fantastic. Forget folgers. The best part of waking up, is Josh Lipseys class

Expérience fantastique: This is such a great burn! It's basically like pilates on steroids haha but in a good way! Very different kind of workout but challenging and worth it! I really enjoy Romero's class on Saturdays.

Expérience fantastique: Romeros class is so great! Love it

Expérience fantastique: Fantastic session with wonderful Neil.

Expérience fantastique: Love the Full Body Fire classes with Romero! A great overall workout with small class size & a wonderful instructor. I appreciate that he takes the time to correct form & offer modifications when needed.

Expérience fantastique: Nice and clean and the people are friendly and accommodating :)

Expérience fantastique: I was sore for many days after, and the workout was super fun! Thanks core team

Expérience fantastique: Nile is truly one of a kind. And so is the workout. It’s soooo good for toning and building strength. I love every class at Core and look forward to it every week.

Expérience fantastique: Small movements that make for a really tough workout. Romero (spelling?) was great.

Expérience fantastique: My workouts have never been better! Classes with Romero are the highlight of my week. He pushes me towards my goals and I always leave feeling accomplished. His classes are suitable for any level and no matter what, you know you’ll be getting in a great workout!

Expérience fantastique: The owner Josh was so professional and made my experience exactly what I was looking for. My body feels amazing. I’d recommend this place for sure!

Expérience fantastique: Josh Lipsey is awesome! This guy knows his stuff, thank you core!

Expérience fantastique: It's always motivating to enter a gym and be greeted with a great big smile! Nile and Romero are both excellent instructors (haven't tried a class with Adrian yet). I appreciate how engaging they are during a workout which also helps to keep us focused. Overall, CORE has delivered throughout the years for me and kudos to Josh for running an excellent facility!

Expérience fantastique: I like the smaller class (feels like a private workout session) and guidance from instructors on how to improve/fix my form when completing the workout. You don't always get that type of attention in larger classes at other studios. I also find the class challenging and fun.

Expérience fantastique: I went to a class yesterday at core. It was amazing all the instructors are really quite phenomenal. They not only are extremely attentive, but are also so motivating and encouraging. It helps that the music is unbelievable. I highly recommend for any of you to try a class.

Expérience fantastique: It was an amazing workout but very hard!! Loved it tho

Expérience fantastique: Welcoming environment and great workout

Expérience fantastique: Friendly consistent high quality workouts that change every time. Josh the owner is very professional in all aspects of how he runs his business !

Expérience fantastique: Nile is a fantastic instructor. He is motivating, and creates fun yet effective workouts. Classes are premiumly priced but well worth it. Highly recommend!

Expérience fantastique: Great energy, motivation, encouragement. Good range of exercises. Fast - paced. Good class.

Expérience fantastique: Core Fitness is more than just a fitness studio, it’s been an inspiration for me to lead a better, more healthy lifestyle which is paying dividends in all aspects of my life. Thank you Josh and your team .

Expérience fantastique: Great work out! Great instructors !

Expérience fantastique: I have been going to Core Concepts for around 10 years. I drive over 30 minutes to get there and it is always worth it. The classes at Core are like none other. They are constantly challenging me and pushing me to the next level. Every time I leave with a sense of accomplishment and a fantastic workout. In addition to the workout being top notch, the environment is always inviting. If I could give 6 stars I would.

Expérience fantastique: Personal training sessions are always innovative and fun. Thank you Team Core! Highly recommended.

Expérience fantastique: Love my work outs with Gigi. Fun, positive and effective.

Expérience fantastique: Love the well designed classes, clean facility and awesome trainers. I always leave on such a high from the invigorating workouts.

Expérience fantastique: I have been working out for years, but get bored quickly, so I change my routine, gym and class concepts, often. I've tried everything from Cross Fit to Yoga, Pilates, UFC and Muay Thai. It's frustrating to join multiple gyms and pay multiple memberships to have variety for my work outs. While living in Toronto, a dear friend recommended I try CORE Concepts. As soon as I took a class, I was hooked. The owner, Josh, is professional, experienced and challenging yet friendly. He knows how to push you and make you come back for more. All of the trainers, in fact, are top notch. At CORE concepts, I have done everything at this intimate studio from boxing, to strength training and conditioning, boot camp classes and pilates. They have both semi-private and private classes available. This place has everything you need and never makes things boring. I am always excited to go to class and challenge myself. Like I said, I usually get bored quickly, but not at CORE. Also, be sure to check out their workout swag. I am obsessed with the ankle weights and resistance bands. Sleek, stylish yet effective and transportable. I bring them with me everywhere, especially when I travel. Plus, I get complimented all the time. I HIGHLY recommend you try this place. You won't regret it.

Expérience fantastique: My favourite fitness studio hands down! I've been doing group classes for a while now and I can never get tired/bored of it. Trust me - I'm the type of person who gets unmotivated quick, but CORE continues to motivate me and keep my workout goals/interest going. All the instructors - Joshua, Anya, Nile are amazing! Definitely a must try!!

Expérience fantastique: Amazing workouts and instructors. Motivating and energetic classes. They create unique and original, and most of all, challenging exercises using weights, bands, Bosu balls, and treadmills. I look forward to going every week!

Expérience fantastique: CORE is a Forest Hill gem and one of Toronto's premier fitness studios. Every instructor you encounter at CORE has three things in common: a strong body, a creative mind, and a warm heart. A special thank you to Anya, Nile and Josh for designing unique classes that continuously challenge me and keep me returning for more fun, sweat and hard work! "Be with CORE" - you won't regret it! Lisa

Expérience fantastique: Core is an absolutely AMAZING place to workout!! I love going to all the classes. The best trainers. I’ve been there for more than 5 years & will be going FOREVER. Lisa

Expérience fantastique: I have done every kind of fitness class possibly available for 30 years: spinning, Pilates, circuit training but the Core classes are different. The woodway non motorized treadmills allow a different, low impact training I’ve never experienced anywhere else. Targeted core work, weights, bands and an all over burn that gets incredible results. Thanks Josh, Anya and the rest of the team for your dedication to fitness and helping clients achieve their goals.

Expérience fantastique: Been coming to CORE for personal training and group classes for almost 4 years now. Absolutely love this place, the trainers are all super professional and the energy is great every time, really motivating! The trainers styles are also different, so you can never get bored and pick from a wide variety of movement! I consistently see great results in my fitness and body, never hitting plateau. We actually moved from this part of town recently, but we still keep coming back because haven’t found anything comparable in the city :)

Expérience fantastique: Been coming here for close to a year now and these are the best workout classes in the city. I also see Anya for PT can’t recommend her enough, my posture has improved significantly as has my strength. Thank you CORE fam you guys are the best. you all!!

Expérience fantastique: I love core! Amazing workout with motivating instructors. Highly recommend.

Expérience fantastique: I have been going to Core for years and they are great! Clean facility and they have awesome instructors! I get a good sweat every single class!

Expérience fantastique: I have never sweat more in a workout than at CORE! I feel so strong when I finish these classes, with a great balance of cardio and strength for a full body workout. 55 minutes flies by!

Expérience fantastique: Core concepts is an amazing gym that provides full body workouts. It is unique as moves are done on dynamic mode on the treadmill where you are basically working your own. I always leave the class sweating and with a smile on my face feeling like I got an amazing workout.

Expérience fantastique: Core is such an amazing workout, it works muscles I didn't even know I had! It's a mix between cardio and weights and all focuses on core and strength training. The gym is super nice and great location.

Expérience fantastique: CORE is one of my favourite gyms in the city ! There classes are so fun and creative! Instructors are excellent and you will for sure feel it next day!

Expérience fantastique: amazing energy, pace of classes, and staff. I personally love the Posture class taught by the owner Josh.

Expérience positive: The classes offered at CORE are both challenging and rewarding. The instructors lead each class through demonstrating the exercises and motivating the members to achieve their personal best. Overall, great class and workout!

Expérience fantastique: CORE is an incredible workout and the studio has awesome trainers. I always feel incredibly motivated when I am there and the 50 minute classes are so great that they always feel like they go by so quickly!

Expérience fantastique: CORE delivers an amazing workout that is different from any other. Creative use of the treadmill and floorwork makes the muscles burn while keeping it enjoyable all the while so you feel energized and not depleted after. Highly recommend!

Expérience fantastique: Amazing class! Josh is a great teacher - who is easy to follow and understand. One of the best classes I've ever taken - definitely recommend. First class and won't be my last!!

Expérience fantastique: Been attending classes at CORE regularly for the last few months and can feel myself getting stronger! Highly recommend for an efficient and dynamic workout

Expérience fantastique: Great atmosphere with fantastic staff. Best workout class in Toronto!

Expérience fantastique: Great workout with a trainer who provided input on proper form throughout the exercise. She would show us how to do each move correctly and give helpful feedback. I liked more of the slow burn too and creative use of the treadmill. Such a nice change from HIIT workouts. The movements were small but effective and the other attendees were so kind! A good community feel. There were only few others in the room so the class felt more personalized. Highly recommend! My abs killed after :)

Expérience fantastique: Nile is the best—amazing class and he is so supportive, explains everything so well, pushes you hard and cheers you on the whole time! You will leave stronger and with a big smile!

Expérience fantastique: Niles was an AMAZING instructor. Took the time to show us how to use the equipment properly and was super encouraging! I laughed at points I was having so much fun. Great boutique facility. Definitely attending more classes.

Expérience fantastique: I love the classes by Anya. They are fun and challenging. This is a really nice fitness studio.

Expérience fantastique: Great workout and great instructors!

Expérience positive: Really great and unique class! The mix of exercises kept it fun and engaging and Anya is super upbeat and motivating. Would love more corrections on form but overall would happily go again. Left feeling great.

Expérience fantastique: Great studio! Attended a class with Nile, and I cannot speak highly enough of him. He was so high energy, motivating, and tailored it for my needs! The work out was dynamic, fun and challenging. Really cannot speak highly enough of Nile or the studio!

Expérience fantastique: Did a class this past weekend with Anya. Had a great time! Always changing things up, time went fast. A good mix of cardio, strength and toning. I used my muscles in different ways and felt like I got a good all around workout. Music was fun but not super loud or intense. A great way to start the weekend.

Expérience fantastique: Was great.. surprisingly sore the next day! Core definitely had a work out. Fun music and instructor

Expérience fantastique: Excellent class, facilities and service! Anya’s classes are challenging but rewarding - looking forward to the next one.

Expérience fantastique: CORE Forest Hill is the ONLY place to work out. They have amazing staff, great facilities and so many options to train. From group classes to personal training, you will always get a tough but amazing work out. Keep doing a great job Core team!

Expérience fantastique: It’s a gorgeous gym environment with great equipment. The workout is so dynamic and fun! A great full body workout and time flies!!

Expérience fantastique: Love this work out

Expérience fantastique: The Absolute best place in Canada to great a great workout in and meet amazing people!!

Expérience fantastique: Hardest workouts in TO! Josh brings an unparalleled experience to his workouts. Highly recommended for those looking for a new fitness challenge in a more private, intimate setting.

Expérience fantastique: If you are looking for a gym that works at your pace, helps you reach goals you thought were not possible this is your place. The staff are knowledgeable , talented and extremely supportive. Core gave me a new sense of self confidence.

Expérience fantastique: CORE has the best group fitness classes in the city! Challenging but doable and the instructors always offer modifications if needed. Josh and Anya are the best teachers. Would definitely recommend!

Expérience fantastique: Core forrest hill is an Elite training facility in the GTA. Joshua Lipsey and Anya create a warm and welcoming environment that make you feel ready and excited to workout! They always push you to your limit, and you always feel like you’ve left the gym getting better

Expérience fantastique: CORE is an incredible gym with incredible staff and trainers. They are beyond qualified and design killer workouts that are also wildly fun, and set to a custom soundtrack. Whether it's classes or personal training I always feel like I worked for my sweat at CORE. 10/10 recommend!

Expérience fantastique: Loved the class with Anya! It was challenging but doable, and different from a typical workout class :)

Expérience fantastique: Best trainers in Toronto you all need to go here!

Expérience fantastique: Great workout and so unique!!

Expérience fantastique: Best place!

Expérience fantastique: Training at core is amazing! I highly recommend it

Expérience fantastique: My first class at CORE was excellent. The full body workout was a bit of a challenge but fun and the environment was very motivating. Left me sore for 2 days after. Would highly recommend to add to your daily routine!

Expérience fantastique: What a fantastic studio and the classes are ! Haven't worked out in a while and was worried the classes would be too tough for me to start with but the classes are friendly for all! I love that they focus on cardio and body exercises for different areas. Apart from the treadmills there is also a ton of other equipment that you'll use throughout so you're not just doing only cardio. So if you're a beginner and like variety definitely hit up the studio. Josh and Anya were also great instructors who push everyone but at the same time patiently correct and explain everything you need to do. You'll definitely feel the burn after a class but it's a great burn that'll keep you coming back for more!

Expérience fantastique: Josh’s classes are very creative, fun and hard! I love this work out, grateful to have found this studio!

Expérience fantastique: Josh Lipsey has been my personal trainer via FaceTime and in person for over 2 years. Working with him has been an absolute pleasure. I look forward to his smiling face and energy to keep me motivated and keep me physically fit.

Expérience fantastique: I have been going to CORE for years and i absolutely love it. Clean facilities, amazing staff, and incredible classes- what more could you want?! dont walk- RUN to core! Josh, anya and the whole squad are 10/10

Expérience positive: Great class here - small studio makes for intimate instruction. Unique use of dynamic mode on a treadmill - always love walking away from something new that you can really feel :)

Expérience fantastique: It has been an absolute pleasure getting to train with both Josh and Anya. They are incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and dedicated to their clients. I am truly grateful to have been introduced to them both. I am looking forward to continuing my fitness journey at CORE!

Expérience fantastique: One of my favourite things about Core is the energy the gym gives off when you walk in. Some gyms can be intimidating, but Core is far from that. Whenever I arrive, not only do instructors greet you with a warm hello, but everyone I've met has been so nice! I love my 6 am crew! To top it all off, Josh's top 40 mash up play lists are next level! Oh and his social media game- most creative out there. If you haven't checked out Core- I highly recommend it!

Expérience fantastique: Challenging, fun, and worth it!

Expérience fantastique: My partner and I have been going to both the group classes and private sessions of Anya for almost two years now, she is the absolute best! The classes are super diverse and I have seen such great progress in my strength, cardio and health. Anya will tailor the sessions to what you need / can handle but will always challenge you, so you don’t hit plateau. The space and equipment are super high quality, there is a variety of treadmill, bosu ball, bends and weights exercises so it never gets boring. I highly recommend Anya and Joshua if you want to feel your best and strongest!

Expérience fantastique: Core is by far the best workout studio. Classes are challenging, fun, and you always leave feeling amazing. Each class is different and the music is always motivating.

Expérience fantastique: Loved the class! It was exactly what I was looking for in terms of a full body workout. The instructor was really nice and helpful and I didn't feel intimidated going into my first class like I usually do at other studios. Will definitely be back.

Expérience fantastique: Wow!! What an amazing studio. I personally have been coming to Core for several years and always find the classes consistently challenging and fun!! The staff is extremely knowledgeable and they really know how to push you to achieve your full potential.

Expérience fantastique: Josh and Anya are incredible trainers. Their classes are fun, energetic and highly effective. Since joining CORE, I've been in the best shape of my life! Highly recommend you check out the PT and classes. Extremely motivating.

Expérience fantastique: Impeccably clean and beautiful studio, quality equipment, creative and challenging workout. I enjoyed the experience and appreciate the instructor's individual guidance. Hope to be back again.

Expérience fantastique: Core offers the best functional workout in the city. Classes are creative and work your entire body. Anya and Josh are highly skilled trainers who care about their clients and have a passion for fitness. I highly recommend this studio for anyone looking to get fit.

Expérience fantastique: I can’t say enough good things about Core and Joshua Lipsey. I do personal training with Josh and he has really transformed my life. I am stronger than I have ever been and have really noticed a difference in muscular tone. He is an excellent motivator and truly knows what is good for the body. We do a mix of functional and strength training, weights, HIIT and cardio. Although he kicks my butt, every session is interesting and creative and always leaves me looking forward to the next one.

Expérience fantastique: I've been to many gyms and have tried classes almost everywhere in Toronto . You can not compare the quality of the workout you get at core . Josh is an Artist . His training is unique , classes are challenging and most importantly I get results

Expérience fantastique: CORE BY JOSHUA LIPSEY is the most innovative and, in my opinion, effective workout in the city. The set is always changing, and challenging. The music is always motivating and fun. I have worked with Josh and is team via in-person training and classes, and also personal training and virtual workouts through the pandemic. I credit Josh to keeping me and my husband in great shape, and we always have the best time. Anyone, at any fitness level, is able to work Josh's method and achieve their fitness goals! As a bonus, Josh has an amazing repository of on-line video's that I can turn to if I am away or just want to do my own thing in my basement gym.

Expérience fantastique: I love this class! It’s an amazing workout!! The use of the treadmill and floor elements is a fantastic combination. Highly suggested for anyone, no matter where you are at on your fitness journey! All the instructors are amazing!!!

Expérience fantastique: I LOVE core fitness! Make sure you take Anya's classes, she's always mixing it up and keeps us sweating!

Expérience fantastique: The best workout in Toronto!

Expérience fantastique: There are amazing classes at this gym. They are always changing so it’s always interesting. The trainers are awesome too.

Expérience fantastique: For over 4 years, I have been attending CORE classes, and after each class I feel stronger, and energized. The classes are well balanced between between dynamic strengthening, and cardio, with some lite stretching at the end. Special shoutout to Anya for her positive energy, perfect classes and making my experience very personable!

Expérience fantastique: WOW!! Core has changed my entire life, I started attending classes a year ago. I also signed up for personal training with Anya, she is amazing. I have been able to reach my fitness goals in this very short time. The workouts are amazing, I leave each class feeling stronger and mentally refreshed. I would recommend anyone who is willing to take on their fitness goals and become the best version of themselves - look no further... Core is truly where it's at!!

Expérience fantastique: I loved this class! Totally different from anything I’ve done in a studio before. Great music, the time flew by and today I ache in the best possible way!

Expérience fantastique: Highly recommend this workout to people of any fitness level. Extremely clean and welcoming.
