Today was my second class. The studio was open earlier than last time, so people could arrive early and just chill, or do their own warmup before class. The one thing that I LOVED today compared to last time was that their central air conditioning was on. Previously, the AC wasn’t turned on and the space quickly turned into a sweat box, so today was much, much better. Again, Andrew led the warm up and conditioning section, and again, it wasn’t an overly complicated work out. Seemed less intense than last time however. One thing that I noticed today compared to last time, was that they don’t have a lot of dumbbells/kettlebells for the conditioning section. I feel like they should stock more 10, 12.5 and 15 lb weights since those seem to be the most popular. The ones left over always seem to be either 5 lb or 25 lb; as a result, I have to go to the 5 lb one(which is way too light for me) since 25 lb is too heavy. Levi wasn’t here today, so Erin taught the beginners(3 of us today, a good sized group). Erin was friendly, and a great teacher(she also does a good Gollum impression watch out). As a studio, they also maintain a good standard of hygiene — immediately after someone cut their foot and blood got on the mats, Erin immediately helped him clean up and bandage his foot. Afterwards, she made sure the mats were properly disinfected before resuming teaching.

This location isn’t as big or as nice as the Davisville location, but it’s more convenient for my commute home. I’m a big fan of the instructors on Tuesdays and Thursdays and find them to be the most helpful and knowledgeable. Try the different days of the week to see which instructors you like best. The fellow patrons are friendly and non judgmental. Everyone encourages each other and pushes each other to work as hard as you can. The trainers encourage you to train hard, but won’t embarrass you should you not be able to complete an exercise or if you can’t quite keep up. It’s definitely a place to build your strength and fitness levels, and to learn a great skill. They offer adult beginner and experienced classes every day with convenient start times. If I’m not mistaken, they offer children’s classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Great gym! Most instructors are really good, friendly and really push you. Nice facilities. Smaller than the Davisville location. Good location right on the Danforth means I stuff my face with Greek food after an intense work out. Some days are super hard and others aren’t. Depends on who’s teaching. Usually an intense workout. A great Muay Thai gym! One of my favourites. I also love Krudar.
