This gym is a hidden gem. The training staff is very professional and focused on your objectives. Every staff member is very friendly and responsive. The gym is spotless, with no smell of sweat or equipment like in most gyms. It feels a bit like a spa. The equipment is top quality. I have been able to reach my goals faster than I anticipated and I feel stronger every week!
Preparing for my Himalaya trek with Altitude Athletic Training was a wonderful experience. The entire staff were knowledgeable and helpful, and guided me to a level of fitness that prepared me for both the physical demands of an 18 day trek (one day actually registered as 271 flights climbed, and that was on uneven terrain), and also acclimatized me for the high altitudes I would encounter. Two of the many highlights on my trek were crossing the Thorong La, the pass over the Annapurna range at 6000 metres, and seeing the sunrise on Annapurna 1 from base camp. Were I to do another trek, I would opt for the 3 month training program again. This boutique fitness centre has wonderful equipment, personalized training programs that are adjusted to both further your level of fitness and also keep you interested and motivated. Clean, friendly, fun. I highly recommend it!
Altitude Athletic is making me stronger. My HRV is higher than it ever has been. My resting heart rate is down to 58. Both visceral and subcutaneous fat is down. Muscle rate is up. I’m feeling stronger. My Fibro is behaving. Looking forward to seeing how much further I can go. Thank you Altitude Athletic, I’m forever indebted to you and coach Josh Downer.
I’ve been training at Altitude Athletic since October, and it’s been a game-changer. The facility is amazing, never overcrowded and the people are always super supportive and welcoming. Highly recommend!
I needed a gym that was not intimidating but also would provide a lot of bang for buck in terms of time spent due to my limited availability. Altitude has certainly delivered on this, and the staff are so helpful and inviting. It feels very comfortable and family-like without being intense if you do not want to to be. I appreciate seeing all ages as well.
If you’re struggling to get going and need a boost, this is the place to try!
I have a passion to climb mountains and always it was my dream to climb the Himalayas. Therefore, I started my training in Altitude for about 4 months and achieved excellent results in such a short time, much better than I expected. This is a small gym that feels more personal. Such a fantastic gym, I love this place.
It was the best choice I’ve made training at Altitude. I always felt amazing when I was at the gym.
The workouts are fun, the fellow members are inspiring, and the workouts are led by personal trainers who give hands-on instant feedback and adjustments during the workouts and just the right amount of encouragement.
All the staff had been awesome to me. All the trainers are exceptional, especially my trainer, Josh who really cared and went above and beyond to help me achieve my goals. The overall vibe is great, the atmosphere is awesome and I have had nothing but good experiences. Unfortunately, I had been in a traumatic experience after my motorcycle accident. I was not able to continue my training. But the support, caring, and love that I received after my accident from gym staff, have been breathtaking and beyond my expectations. The gifts and messages from staff showed how much they care. This was incredibly encouraging to me during my traumatic experience and I am so much grateful for their support. It was a life-changing gym experience and I am planning to continue my training after my recovery. I recommend it highly to all my friends.
The combination of personalized programming and state-of-the-art technology at Altitude helped me lose my ‘Quarantine 15’ in just a few months. Their elite team of wellness practitioners is unparalleled – they motivated me to exercise harder + longer than ever before. If you’re looking to kick start 2022 or want a brand new challenge – Altitude is the place to be!
I’ve tried lots of different gyms and fitness classes over the years, including the likes of Barry’s Bootcamp and Soul Cycle, and none of them make me feel quite as much like an athlete as Altitude does. The team there actually care about your performance and listen to your goals, instead of trying to push the next fitness fad onto you. Not only that, their concept is focused on high altitude training through their spacious and well-equipped altitude chamber, which is a very effective way to improve your fitness. I love their classes, which really push you and manage to be fun and energizing at the same time. I would recommend Altitude to anyone regardless of fitness-level, who are looking to improve their overall health and join an encouraging community – even better if you’re training for an event or signing up for a climb.
I have for years tried to find a gym that didn’t treat me like a $, somewhere that would educate me and help me understand my body in relation to my goals. But let’s face it; this is everyone’s hope. Every gym has a “schtick,” and in the end, you probably stopped going because once you got past the aesthetics and the basic programming, you realized you were not getting anywhere. Me too, and that’s why you should try Altitude.
Don’t go because of the hypoxic training.
Don’t go because it looks great.
Don’t go because they use objective, quantitative analysis.
Don’t go because the personal trainers are fantastic (shout out to Josh)
Don’t go because they bend over backwards to make you feel welcome.
Don’t go because the founder, Melanie, has a mutant bunny that secretly runs the whole thing.
Go because you’ll actually Go.
Regardless of your fitness level, start here, and feel good about yourself amongst one of the best gym communities I’ve ever interacted with.
Thank you, Team Altitude, for helping me feel great; the impact on my life has been profound, mentally and physically.
Now, I did what the rabbit said; please tell it to release my family 😉
I’ve been a member for almost a year! Amazing team! Everyone from the front desk staff to the trainers to the managers are amazingly friendly, kind and always helpful and supportive. They genuinely get to know who you are and what matters to you. They keep up with your fitness journey, cheering on your accomplishments and picking you back up when you’re down!
If you’re looking for a great place to work out that is high tech, upscale, and well kept with a great community of people who genuinely care. This is the place for you!
Altitude Athletic Training is an amazing place to work out and achieve your fitness goals!
I joined the gym in preparation to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro, and was really impressed by everything and everyone! The facility is beautiful with top notch equipment and technology. The staff and coaches were all so nice and knowledgeable and the atmosphere is truly welcoming to all levels!
Thanks Altitude Training Team for all your incredible support and positivity during my training!
If you are a competitive athlete no matter the sport you participate in or just want to be in top shape ,Altitude is where you want to train. My partner and I joined the Gym in February 2023 in order to prepare for our Kilimanjaro climb. I was 6 months post a knee replacement and I was able to rehab my knee and successfully complete the climb in July 2023. We have continued to train at 9000 feet in gym and I am in the best shape of my life. The facility is immaculate and the staff are extremely friendly and knowledgeable. So, if you want to be at the top of your physical game – join Altitude.
I trained at Altitude Athletic Training in preparation for my Kilimanjaro climb, and it made a measurable difference in how my body handled altitude.
We did structured hypoxic sessions simulating up to 20,000 feet, and I committed to it consistently in the lead-up to the trip. By the time I landed in Tanzania, I felt calm about the altitude instead of anxious. On summit night, while others were really struggling, I felt steady, controlled, and confident in my breathing. That doesn’t happen by accident.
The team was knowledgeable, encouraging, and genuinely invested in the process. They took the time to explain what was happening physiologically and why the training mattered. It wasn’t gimmicky. It was intentional.
I summited Kilimanjaro via the 8-day Lemosho route and genuinely believe this training played a significant role in how well I acclimatized.
If you’re serious about altitude goals, this is worth it.
Grateful for the support.
My wife and I both in our 60’s trained over the last 2 years to prepare for Kilimanjaro, Inca Trail to Machu Piccu and Everest base camp. The staff are highly qualified and the facilities are amazing and clean. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. We feel strongly that we were able to complete our goals because of the way we had been prepared physically and mentally.
We are so glad we discovered Altitude Athletics It was well worth the time and effort! We highly recommend them even if you aren’t preparing for a climb
On holidays in Toronto, went in for a session after seeing this place in a YouTube video by Will Tennyson. As a programmer I regularly work out to prevent my body from atrophying from sitting at a desk 24/7 but I’m not a “gym bro” or athlete by any means.
Staff was super helpful and friendly and the facility itself is amazing. Great equipment, very clean from the dressing room to the cardio machines. Even the dumbbells were shiny and spotless. For some reason the workout room also smelled very nice.
They have heartrate monitors and oxygen saturation meters which you can borrow to keep an eye on your stats. It was very interesting to feel the difference, especially when doing cardio!
Great place, highly recommended even if you’re not specifically training for high altitude purposes.
Many thanks to everyone at Altitude Fitness for helping me and my daughter get ready for our Inca trail hike. I did the mountain express package and after one month of intense workouts at ever increasing simulated altitude, I felt super fit and ready for my hike. Definitely worth it!
I trained here for a month ahead of a 6,500m trek to get get a head start on the acclimatization process and work on overall fitness. Couldn’t have been happier with the results. The trek went great and I didn’t have any issues with altitude sickness, not even a slight headache.
The staff here are all great – they take care of you and check in regularly to ensure you’re feeling good and progressing well towards your training goal.
Can’t wait to come back ahead of my next trek in 2024!
Great facility with fantastic staff . The variety classes at Altitude prepped me for my first Marathon as well as an Ultra Marathon that will be taking place later this month.
Summit member for 3 months. Can’t speak more highly of Altitude as a “semi-extreme” athlete. Amazing facility and staff, the benefits of altitude training were remarkable for me. I’ve raced ultras for years, joined Altitude with an aggressive race schedule (3 ultras and a marathon major within 11 weeks) and exceeded all expectations with a couple PBs. With lower overall intensity I’m faster than I have been before.
I’ve never enjoyed going to gyms before, but Melanie and her team have made a unique and valuable space to train for extreme activities. Highly recommend
Altitude Athletic Training has been a life changing moment for me in my journey to get healthier. Like many people, since Covid, I have struggled to find an exercise routine that keeps me engaged and regular. With trainers willing to design programs specifically for my body type and fitness goals, and staff that are always willing to help, I have found an inclusive and encouraging community with Altitude.
Amazing facility that was stocked with high quality equipment for use to train with. The gym looks almost futuristic with their set up and I highly recommend it for anyone looking to take their training to the next level with Altitude’s reduced oxygen room.
Shout out to Josh!
Altitude Athletic Training is an excellent facility to get your workout at. It is a modern, tech-forward, beautifully designed space with top-notch equipment, and all the while you get that extra edge of a simulated altitude environment. What makes this space even more special is the people that fill it. The team is a lovely bunch. Always so positive and always there for support.
Before joining Altitude, I could never get enough self motivation to consistently go to a gym and feel confident in my exercises. At Altitude however, I have an enormous appreciation for my coaches for getting me started and, planning and tracking a much kinder, yet challenging, approach to working out. Their support and positive feedback helped my motivation, strength, and energy levels to having a daily active fitness lifestyle despite how busy my day gets. With both the excellent facility and the amazing team at Altitude Athletic Training, it is hard to imagine finding a better gym anywhere else.
My husband (Terry) and I (65 and 59 respectively) just returned from our bucket list Mt. Kilimanjaro adventure and cannot thank the amazing team at Altitude Athletic Training in Toronto enough! Not only did we make it to the top but we did so in peak health and with no significant challenges. The teams’ support, knowledge and incredible positive energy made the training experience not only highly effective, but FUN! We are so fortunate to have had them all on our team and want to recommend Altitude Athletic Training to everyone out there who wants to attain a goal at altitude or if you simply want to push yourself farther for an exceptional work out. Climb higher!!!
I was working in Toronto for the summer and needed a place to workout. As a former athlete, I was extremely intrigued by the altitude chamber. I ended up training at altitude for the summer and loved it. Great equipment, beautiful space, lovely amenities, and fantastic staff.
Highly recommend for anyone looking to level up their fitness
Great setup and really wonderful team. Best place to train for hikes and altitude or just to push your fitness to next level.
Altitude Athletic is the best gym in the city! I’ve been working out here for about 2 months and definitely notice a difference training in the oxygen chamber in terms of my endurance and performance. The hybrid membership is amazing because the weekly coach consults help me stay focussed and moving towards my goals. My coach, Kenya, is incredible, super knowledgeable and also really great at striking the balance between holding me accountable and being understanding about my busy schedule.
The facility is always clean, the equipment is top of the line and extensive, but most importantly, everyone there is so friendly, genuine and chill. I feel safe and comfortable working out here! Love love love this place and can’t say enough good things about it!!!
I’ve trained at Altitude for a few years and for several different objectives (4000-6000m peaks, trekking, endurance goals, strength goals). The tailored and personal approach allowed me to be in the best physical and mental shape for each objective. The gym truely is a community of like minded people and stepping in motivates you to push yourself. The staff and trainers are phenomenal (Josh and Gustavo specifically) and I would recommend the gym to anyone seeking to push themselves !!!!!
Good location, well managed, Clean and organized. My husband convinced me to try it out. Turns out it was perfect for me. All staff are nice and kind and my trainer is top notch. I’ve been enjoying my workouts since I joined as a member here. The high altitude chamber makes my work outs even more effective. Highly recommend!!
Amazing Facilities; Outstanding Team. Specialized environment allows you to get better personal performance results in less time. Special Facilities +Customized plans+ Personalized service = Results!
As both a physiotherapist and personal trainer, I’m really impressed with this gym. The high-altitude environment offers a unique training benefit that can improve endurance, cardiovascular health, and overall fitness in an efficient manner.
The staff were knowledgeable and able to adjust sessions for different fitness levels, and they keep a close eye on technique and safety, which I truly appreciate from a clinical perspective.
If you’re looking for a smart, science-backed way to boost your performance, this gym is absolutely worth trying. The atmosphere was great and music was on point! 🙂
