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!
Great setup and really wonderful team. Best place to train for hikes and altitude or just to push your fitness to next level.
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 received amazing support from the team at altitude and the facility was topnotch!
Just got back from climbing Kilimanjaro with my son. Before taking the trip I was quite worried about the potential effects of altitude sickness BUT was lucky enough to find Altitude Training.
They set me up with a progressive training schedule that had me reach 19,500 feet (Kili Summit) a few weeks before I left. I am convinced this pre-acclimatization made a huge difference in my climb. I felt zero symptoms on the trip and could just focus on enjoying the experience.
Overall the people at the gym are very responsive, courteous and were always willing to accommodate my changing schedule. A big thank you to the whole team. I could not have done it without you.
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!!!
Regardless of the training goal, the program is personalized to the extend that I made milestone improvement working out here since September. I am greatful that my friend recommended me to come here, and now I also recommend to many others!
The best gym!! I’ve been working here for almost a year now, for many reasons. The top one is that I love the team and coaches.
Everyone is super friendly and attentive to everyone’s goals & needs. Whenever you have a question about your exercise, any of the coaches will patiently show you the form & things to look out for. And the high-altitude chamber is a great way to improve your cardio performance & strength!
Amazing equipment, facilities, and staff! I would highly recommend this place to anyone interested in high-altitude training or looking to push themselves toward any aerobic goal. I personally trained here for 8 months in preparation for an Ironman race, working with their outstanding trainer, Yaath. I’m not sure I could have completed it without his expertise, guidance, and support.
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.
This is a truly unique and amazing place! I’ve trained at Altitude Athletic multiple times and the gym is beautifully designed, high-tech, and the fact you have an entire large room where the atmosphere can change to reflect different elevations is something I’ve never seen before. The staff were very friendly and helpful and they have some great coaches too!
Altitude Gym in downtown Toronto exceeded my expectations in every way. The facility is immaculately clean and impeccably maintained, which sets a high standard from the moment you walk in. The equipment is state-of-the-art, ensuring that every workout is efficient and safe.
The staff deserves special mention—they are not only highly educated, with many holding advanced degrees, but they are also confident and experienced professionals. Their expertise in fitness and health helped me feel supported and guided through my training. But what truly sets them apart is their warmth and welcoming attitude, embodying the best of Canadian hospitality. Their kindness made each visit enjoyable.
I enrolled in a three-month program to prepare for a 14er climb in Colorado, and the results were more than satisfactory. The personalized training regimen perfectly matched my needs and helped me build the strength and endurance required for the challenge. I felt fully prepared for my climb, both physically and mentally, thanks to the excellent coaching and facilities at Altitude Gym.
If you’re looking for a gym with top-notch equipment, expert staff, and a welcoming atmosphere, Altitude Gym is an excellent choice!
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
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!
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!
Altitude is an incredible space for people who are motivated to improve and gain benefits from training at an higher elevation. Personally, I have really enjoyed attending a gym with premium equipment and like-minded people! Highly recommend.
Joining Altitude earlier this year has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! The facility and the people are incredible and it has truly transformed my health and fitness levels. I had never been a gym person prior to purchasing their summit program and I got paired with an incredible trainer who has given me a customized plan and even coached me to finishing my first ever half marathon. It is the most welcoming gym and I look forward to each session here and know I have the best support to complete all my future goals 🙂
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.
Hands down the best gym in Toronto. I’ve trained here for Aconcagua and Ama Dablam, and l will certainly train here before my next expedition. The staff are always friendly and ensure that you are having a good time. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable and are dedicated to helping you reach your training goals. Nothing comes close to training at Altitude Athletic.
I love this place as it’s got top of the range equipment and of course you are getting the gains of altitude as you work out. Everything is spotless clean too. The people are also incredibly nice and helpful. Likely my best gym experience in Toronto to date.
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.
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.
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.
I trained here to prepare for Everest BC. Gustavo and the team took great care of me. They curated a training program specific to my situation and accommodated for any last-minute schedule changes or requests. I highly recommend this boutique gym, whether to prepare for a trek or for generally working out. Great alternative to the “big-box” gyms.
I really enjoy going to Altitude and impress by that place, firstly because its one a kind gym where you train in a low-oxygen environment to simulate a training at 10,000 feet where you are indeed at sea level outside.
Secondly by the amazing staff there. Everyone is welcoming, really nice and will help you towards your goal. A special mention to the personal trainers for their extensive knowledge and ability to truly understand which goal you want to achieve and tailor a program specific for your needs.
Highly recommended!
Awesome, well-equipped facility, very professional and friendly staff, individualized programs are a game-changer for anyone planning a big climb.
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
Excellent facility and well run by good people who care. I’ve been going to the gym off and on for my entire life without seeing much results. I did see progress when I was doing personal training but it was expensive and I stopped going after the pandemic hit. Everything went downhill from there and I went to my old over weight self again.
Then I found Altitude. The personal coaching, analytics and plans created by their team has put me in the best shape in my entire life. They have easy to follow programs that I can actually manage and find the motivation to do. Most of my workouts could be done in 1 to 1.5 hours and doing this at a high altitude environment just enhances my workouts. I’m all about efficiency so this is perfect for me. Less time for more results.
On the initial consultation they analyzed my body to figure out the most optimized way to achieve my fitness goals. Then they set up a personalized program just for me that I easily follow on an app on my phone. The coaches then monitor and check in to ensure that I’m doing the exercises properly.
The result, I’ve lost over 15 lbs in just the past 4 months and it was pure fat. I know as they have the equipment to take my metrics and so I know for sure as my muscle mass has gone up! Plus I can see my six pack something that I’ve never seen before. For a lazy gym guy like me who has never consistently done this for the past decades of my life it’s nice to finally achieve my fitness goals. Thank you Altitude for helping me get there!
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!
Great gym. Excellent equipment. Excellent staff. Nice changing room and shower. Completed Manaslu circuit in snow storm late March. No issues. No altitude sickness at all. Highly recommended for all looking to better health and fitness.
