We found Altitude a year and and half ago in our search for a gym to help us train and get ready for climbing Kilimanjaro in the summer of 2023. This is the only facility of its kind currently in Toronto and we can honestly say by training at various altitudes in the months leading up to our climb, it allowed us to successfully summit Kili without any altitude issues!! The staff is incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and supportive and have created a wonderful fitness community to be a part of. I’m happy to be able to continue my training here as I work towards my bigger mountain climbs!! I highly recommend this gym for anyone who is looking to take their fitness level up a notch.
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!
Gym is very unique as it allows you to train in a high-tech altitude chamber. When I visited, it was set to 8500ft elevation and you can definitely feel the difference. Equipment and machines are top notch. Staff was friendly, knowledgeable, very welcoming. Gym is very clean and has nice aesthetics! Will definitely continue to come back for drop-in sessions!
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!
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.
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!
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!
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!
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.
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.
I found this top-notch and one-of-a-kind gym during preparation for some difficult high-altitude hiking trails and this is the only place in Toronto/Ontario that mimics the oxygen level at higher altitude. The 3 different altitude schedule throughout the day covers all your need. And if requested, other specialty equipment would be provided to help achieve my goal. I’ve joined the club for almost a year now, and till this day, I am still constantly amazed by the knowledgeable and extremely friendly staff, always tidy and clean environment. You know you would be taken great care of her, regardless of your goal being improving body responses to exercise / increasing endurance / enhancing performance in competitions / increasing aerobic capacity / better lactic acid capacity, or simply finding peers who share your passion.
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.
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!
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’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!
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! 🙂
I received amazing support from the team at altitude and the facility was topnotch!
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.
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.
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
I am so glad I discovered this place. Literally changed my life. I spent three months training here, preparing for my second attempt on Aconcagua. I feel highly confident of success (weather not withstanding) and finding it an easier ask of my body then this years attempt.
Altitude Athletic Training isn’t just a gym, it isn’t just a place to get High Altitude exposure. It is a community of likeminded individuals, who become friends. It is a space filled with expertise and experience from all sports and it only serves to fuel one’s passion. Training here was an amazing experience.
The trainers are first class, the kit is phenomenal, and (if you follow the instructions) the results are incredible. Sadly I have now left Toronto, and the one thing I miss most are my daily morning sessions, and my friends at AAT.
Cannot wait to come back and re-engage.
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 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!!!
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!
Amazing Facilities; Outstanding Team. Specialized environment allows you to get better personal performance results in less time. Special Facilities +Customized plans+ Personalized service = Results!
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 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 😉
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!
Awesome, well-equipped facility, very professional and friendly staff, individualized programs are a game-changer for anyone planning a big climb.
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!
