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 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.
Awesome, well-equipped facility, very professional and friendly staff, individualized programs are a game-changer for anyone planning a big climb.
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!
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
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!
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.
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 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!
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!!!
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!
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
Altitude Training is a top-notch training facility! It was a pure joy to work with this incredible team. Josh Downer is truly exceptional! He has a passion for what he does! We were impressed with his level of knowledge, patience, kindness, attention to details and personalized touch! The amount of time and effort he put working with us was unbelievable! He pushed us beyond what we believed were our limits. The program was tailored to your goals. He helped us, zero level beginners, to get ready for climbing Cayambe volcano (5,790 meters) in Ecuador. We got to the summit at the first attempt with no any altitude sickness symptoms. Thumbs up to this training center and its super friendly and professional staff! Highly recommended! Would totally train with them again for the next summit!
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 highly recommend Altitude Athletic to anyone looking to level up their fitness. I first joined a friend and was surprised to see how dramatically different I felt training at altitude. After becoming a regular member it didn’t take long to see improvements in my strength, cardio, and heart rate both in and outside of their facilities. The staff is knowledgeable and provides a supportive and encouraging environment for all of their members who are looking to achieve personal goals. The facilities are beautiful and the equipment is top notch. This is one of the few gyms I have found that has treadmills that incline to 25% (majority are 15%). This is one of the best gyms in Toronto. The fact that it’s the only public gym to offer training at simulated altitudes is icing on the cake!
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!!
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 🙂
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!!!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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 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!
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!
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!
I was planning on trekking at altitude from Cusco to Machu Picchu Peru and I needed to train seriously. Through a stroke of serendipity it turned out that the solution was Altitude Athletic Training. A gym that allows you to train at Altitude in Toronto. The coaches – Josh and TJ – set me up with a program that worked perfectly. The front desk staff – Suraj and Nada are friendly, super helpful and welcoming. The management – Melanie is just the best. I went 5 days a week for 6 weeks, and it worked!! I had no problems with altitude, managed to trek over 20kms a day, and arrived home safe and blister-free. The facility is well-equipped, clean, and inspiring. It would benefit anyone wanting to improve their fitness, not just those planning on going trekking. I would recommend you go and check them out. 5 stars is really not adequate, this is the BEST gym in all of Toronto.
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!
