Unchained Athletics

Expérience fantastique: Great studio and amazing coaches! Classes are challenging, they really focus on teaching you the proper form and pushing yourself harder. Highly recommend the studio.

Expérience fantastique: I’ve taking classes and doing boxing one-on-ones with Eddy for about six weeks now. The level of technical knowledge; experience with class development; and precision and care with individual programming for clients is unmatched. Trainers are holistic with their approach to training, ensuring that it isn’t just physical progress that gets focus but mental well-being too. Their new Training Grounds programme sounds really great (and a unique, to me at least, concept). I think it’s a great addition to the fitness and wellness community in Toronto, and for sure worth checking out. If you’re curious about boxing or even if you have experience, Eddy is a great (and certified) resource to get started or improve your skills. I genuinely cannot recommend this gym enough!

Expérience fantastique: I went to a strength and conditioning class at Unchained Athletics and later joined their outdoor summer sessions — both were incredible. The workouts are structured, challenging, and you can tell the coaches are extremely knowledgeable and science-based in their approach. You always leave feeling stronger and energized. I also attended their retreat, Camp Unchained, at Blue Mountain, and it was such a unique and inspiring experience. It combined staying active with meeting like-minded people, practicing self-respect through journaling, playing games, and enjoying delicious, healthy, home-prepped meals. What stands out the most is the community that Unchained Athletics has built. It’s inspiring, supportive, and exactly what so many of us need in today’s world. It’s made me want to become a fitter, more mindful version of myself.

Expérience fantastique: 10/10 would recommend to anyone from beginners to advanced. Amazing calibre of trainers, community, workouts, etc. One of the best gyms in the City for sure.

Expérience fantastique: The Unchained Retreat was an incredible experience that combined challenging workouts with meaningful connection and reflection. I left feeling stronger, more energized, and more connected to myself and others. The morning run was a highlight, and I loved the balance of movement, community, and growth. This retreat is more than fitness. It’s transformation.

Expérience fantastique: Attended a few of their events including their retreat at blue mountain. Fantastic coaches who really know their stuff. Highly recommend!

Expérience fantastique: I can’t believe it’s taken me so long to write a review. I love this place and go SO OFTEN that I didn’t even think to share the love out loud, it’s that obvious. Christina is the best trainer I’ve ever had. Period. I’ve been training since I was 12 and, at 37 I have never progressed so much without injury as I have with Christina. The community here is so special you feel like part of it instantly and it’s very subtle. No one is forcing you to high five or do weird shit. You just find yourself laughing and encouraging and being encouraged. In a world of Barry’s bootcamps and equinox’s, come to unchained. *also it’s a dog friendly space too!!

Expérience fantastique: One setence: I RECOMMEND THIS PLACE HIGHLY!!! I have went to Unchained Athletics using ClassPass. I was suffering from the lower back pain and low mobility due to my occupation and habits of not working out. I did not know how should I start to fix my lower back pain. I tried yoga, pilates, massage and others did not help. I tried going to the big classes and fancy studios but turned out that I really need a good coaches for my back. I tried going to one of the group session. The group session is really excellent as the coaches will focus on individual strength and weakness and pinpoint the wrong posture. After the first class, I have cancelled all the classpass memebership and other gyms and classes that I have booked. Because this gym is a gem in Toronto,Canada! The environment is really friendly and full of energy. Even introverts like me can be comfortable inside as I felt bit shy at the first. The class community is amazing and people are friendly and they teach everything from the start to end. It is really good for the development for your physical and mental health. I am currently doing personal training and the coaches are amazing abd very knowledgable and experienced. They know how every pieces of muscle, nerve, bone works in harmony and explained why I am having lower back pain and teach me so much priceless workouts! I do not regret getting personal training here. >>update after 3 months My back pain has significantly improved. The coordination of my body and space awareness has improved within 3months. I doubted if this 3months of personal training will improve my back disc problem but it was game changer for my body. I become more active and I no longer suffer from back pain. I feel very happy with the result with Eddy. Highly recommened for people who need help for mobility issue. High quality of personal training. You should definitely go for this gym if you can. My body has changed so do my mental health

Expérience fantastique: Fantastic gym. Great group of coaches and fitness professionals! love the classes especially

Expérience fantastique: If you work or live in the downtown area, I’d 1000% recommend checking out this place. For a boutique gym, these guys are SUPER reasonable pricing-wise. And training like an athlete may sound super intimidating but I love Unchained because they really help you to train with PURPOSE, build strength and accomplish your goals, no matter what stage you’re at in your fitness journey. They take training seriously, but they’re also a fun group and really big on community too. The trainers are super knowledgeable, down to earth, encouraging, funny people. I’ve been to a few different classes and felt included, which is really nice and hard to find at some gyms. It’s also clean!! The class sizes aren’t too big and the coaches are there to support you or push you if you need to lift heavier or lighter. I’m looking forward to coming back!

Expérience fantastique: I’ve been going to Unchained Athletics regularly since July, and I can honestly say it’s so much more than just a gym. It’s a community of people who genuinely want to help you get healthier and stronger. They offer a mix of group and personal training sessions, and what I love most is how small the group classes are. Most gyms pack 30+ people into a tiny room with one coach, but at Unchained, even on busy days, there are only 10 people max but usually closer to 6. That means the coaches actually have time to give you real feedback and tips to improve your form. When I first joined, I had back pain and couldn’t deadlift more than 40 lbs. Fast forward a few months, and I’m now hitting a PR of 215 lbs and the best part is it’s completely painless. The coaches here really know what they’re doing and genuinely care about your progress. If you’re looking for a gym that’s welcoming, supportive, and actually helps you reach your goals, Unchained Athletics is the one. Also, check out their Instagram. they post some great promotions if you love jumping on a good deal!

Expérience fantastique: This gym is incredible. Instant community, extremely intelligent design of workouts, and it's always fun. I toured a tonne of gyms in the area and so glad I went with Unchained.

Expérience fantastique: When my previous gym closed, I struggled to find a new place that offered more than just equipment. I tried a popular downtown gym but felt lost in a large class with little personal attention. Then I found Unchained Athletics. I immediately felt at ease in their intimate setting and really appreciated their competitive rates. They offer a variety of classes tailored to different needs, making it easy to find what suits me best. What makes Unchained special is their supportive community and dedicated coaching staff. Co-owner Coach Eddy has created an environment where all fitness levels are welcome and everyone cheers each other on. After going here for over a year, I've found a great community that's fun to work out with. If you're looking for a gym where you're more than just a number, where every workout feels personal and motivating, Unchained Athletics is the place to be. It's a community that embraces and supports you at every step of your journey.

Expérience fantastique: I started taking Tee's kettlebell foundations classes and they are amazing! She is a great instructor and always takes the time to correct me and help me get the right technique (something extremely important to me given my history with back issues). I love the exercises which she switches up each class to keep it interesting. She is also very friendly and welcoming and makes class a pleasure to attend. Highly recommend!

Expérience fantastique: Discovering Unchained Athletics through ClassPass has been a game-changer for me, and I couldn't be more happy. Initially, I hadn't planned on committing to a gym membership anywhere, but after just one class, I was hooked. Despite my limited experience in strength training, the Unchained team impressed me with their patience, expertise, and unwavering support, ensuring I mastered proper form every step of the way. Their dedication extended far beyond what I expected from a gym, providing additional services that have propelled my fitness journey to new heights. What truly sets Unchained apart is their genuine investment in each client, both personally and professionally. They've fostered a remarkable sense of community where members uplift and motivate one another. Each visit feels like a reunion among friends, filled with warm welcomes and plenty of laughter. The classes are not only effective but also incredibly enjoyable, guaranteeing a satisfying workout every time. Unchained Athletics has had such a positive impact on both my physical and mental well-being. To anyone in Toronto seeking a gym that transcends the ordinary, I wholeheartedly recommend Unchained Athletics!!!

Expérience fantastique: Eddy and Unchained athletics have been a huge part of my life over the last year. It has made me healthier, happier and recover some of my athletic abilities after having dealt with some major injuries. The classes and personal training sessions are incredibly well researched and thought out. The workouts and recovery feel therapeutic and help you develop a better understanding of your body. I can't thank Eddy enough for changing my life.

Expérience fantastique: Awesome gym with welcoming and warm trainers. Took the kettlebell class and learned some new exercises I've never tried before - the class was tough and exactly what I was looking for. The best part was the space felt inclusive and welcome to all fitness levels. 10/10 recommend.

Expérience fantastique: Unchained Athletics is a great space if you’re looking for community, friendly staff and personal trainers who actually pay attention to you. I’d worked out at the gym once before but most recently, I completed an assessment with Eddy. He identified my problem areas and suggested solid warm-up exercises so I can properly activate my hip and glute areas (which had been bothering me for months). I’m currently training with him and the workouts are challenging and different than my normal workouts but I’m so thankful because it’s helping me discover new strengths and areas for form improvement. Whenever I’m at my own gym, I always notice the trainers there doing the bare minimum with their clients. They’re just chatting and texting. But being at Unchained, the trainers get to know you, pay attention, correct your form and truly push you to your fullest potential. Eddy has also recommended supplements to help me with fatigue, soreness etc and goes above and beyond as a trainer. 10/10 would recommend!

Expérience fantastique: Hidden gem. I would like to keep it all to myself. The coaching is top notch. Clean, welcoming, and challenging. Love this gym.

Expérience fantastique: Unchained Athletics Gym has exceeded my expectations in every aspect. The facility is well-maintained, equipped with top-notch gear, and offers a motivating atmosphere. The trainers are knowledgeable, approachable, and tailor workouts to individual needs. The variety of classes keeps things exciting, making each visit a new fitness adventure. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned athlete, Unchained Athletics provides a welcoming environment to achieve your fitness goals. I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking for a comprehensive and enjoyable fitness experience.

Expérience fantastique: Banging tunes, clean gym, great crowd.

Expérience fantastique: Great team and facility!

Expérience fantastique: Everyone at unchained is so friendly and really works with you to get to your goals! Love this space and community and special shoutout to Alicia for making me stay and commit to myself

Expérience fantastique: The best gym and workout classes in Toronto!!! After trying so many different workouts it was a relief to find Unchained. They really know what theyre doing and care about every single individual that walks through their doors. The classes really push you to your limits, the small number creates a safe environment with coaches like Eddy who are able to understand each individuals strengths, limitations and different mechanics! Cannot recommend this place enough, the community, the vibes and the strength you gain will keep you coming back for more.

Expérience fantastique: Great gym! I love the set up, as well as the classes and coaches. You can tell they are passionate about what they’re teaching and want to get the best out of you.

Expérience fantastique: Joining the Unchained community has been a joy. The classes and 1-1 sessions have helped transform the relationship I have with my body and my wellness. Working out at Unchained will leave you feeling seen, cared for and ready to tackle anything - take a Metcon class and you’ll understand exactly what I mean!!

Expérience fantastique: Hands down the best gym in Toronto! They provide great classes and exercise education in an extremely clean and positive environment. The best part is the sense of community they have been able to build. You always feels you are amongst friends, allowing you to feel comfortable pushing yourself past any previous barriers in the gym.

Expérience fantastique: UNCHAINED ATHLETICS is an incredible facility in the heart of downtown Toronto, run by some of the industry’s best. Can’t recommend owner/founder Eddy highly enough. Every time I set foot in his gym, his energy and determination to deliver his absolute best for each of his clients is palpable. And that same dedication is apparent in each member of the UA team. If you’re looking for knowledgeable trainers who are focused on form and technique, if you’re seeking a close knit workout community to keep you inspired and motivated, UA is where you need to be! Whether it’s group classes or personal training, you’ll leave sore but exhilarated and inspired by continual growth/progress as you’re given the necessary tools and quality instruction to thrive in your fitness journey. But don’t take my word for it — drop in for a class and find out for yourselves ✨

Expérience fantastique: Amazing community! I highly recommend both group and personal training! Gym is very welcoming and I’m happy to be a member of it :)

Expérience fantastique: Friendly environment and clean .

Expérience fantastique: I have been going here VIA Classpass for over 6 months & I have seen tremendous results. As someone who had minimal experience with weights & good form, I can honestly say I have learned so much from Christina & the team. They always make me feel welcome. Christina is deserving of all flowers.

Expérience fantastique: Eddy’s class was fantastic. I learned the most in this one hour session on my form that I ever have in my half ditched effort to learn how to lift properly in the last couple of months. This class is a cross between a group fitness class and a personal training session so it’s much more intimate and tailored than your regular group strength classes are I’ll be back! Thanks again, Eddy!

Expérience fantastique: Went for a work out class at lunch. Great direction from the instructor, I haven’t sweat so much in class in a long time!

Expérience fantastique: Great space, I found it very welcoming. Also Eddy and his team provide fantastic classes and with the small group sizes there is a lot of 1on1 time (if needed)

Expérience fantastique: AMAZING. Man Eddy kicked our butts tonight. First time there and this gym is dope. Great equipment, clean, great set up, very much recommend. I took a "Metcon" class tonight and I know I am going to feel this tomorrow in the best way. If you went to this gym consistently for a few weeks there is no way you wouldn't see results; it was great. Eddy has the vibe of an old friend who makes you feel comfortable and makes you want to work hard for him. Super friendly, very chill, pushes when he knows you need it. Top tier trainer IMO. You have to try this spot!

Expérience fantastique: Great coaches, great gym and great classes!! Unchained is the best gym in Toronto that I’ve tried out, the only one I got to now.

Expérience fantastique: Great vibe, always fun classes and committed to your goal. No regrets for choosing Unchained Athletics.

Expérience fantastique: Lots of classes, 7:00 am classes worked best for my schedule. I also liked their initiative for outdoor classes, this is best if you’re looking for some outdoor activities. The trainers are very helpful and friendly. Go check them out!!!

Expérience fantastique: I love it here ! Such nice and cool vibes, very professional and friendly too ! Wow factor from 1 to 10 I give it a big 10 ! So fresh and awesome amazing action !

Expérience fantastique: Great trainers and instructors - informed and inclusive programming for those looking to move at any level. If you're looking for a positive community to keep you motivated for your health/fitness goals, this is the one!

Expérience fantastique: Fun class great community!

Expérience fantastique: It’s always a pleasure being around these trainers. Always supportive and willing to help build you up no matter the pace. I love the sense of community I get while being part of their fitness programming/challenges they’ve build.

Expérience fantastique: Amazing! I truly cannot say enough fantastic things about the staff, the coaching, and the quality of the workouts. The clear communication you receive from the coaches is exceptional. They explain what we are doing ahead of time in detail, so that you understand next steps. You always leave knowing you worked incredibly hard. The group workouts have a ton of variety, so not only do they fly by, they are actually fun! The music is always upbeat, and the coaches pay attention to you, and fix your form. I have done both the personal training one on one sessions with Eddy, as well as the group fitness. I can say that in the 2 and a half months I have been working out there, my mobility has improved significantly, my cardio is much better, and I've noticed a difference in my body. I feel lighter, and more motivated to focus on my health and my goals. The coaches genuinely care about your progress, and they check in with you. The location is fantastic as well! It's a great vibe and fun place to workout. Highly recommend!

Expérience fantastique: Love the crew over at Unchained - they make everyone feel like a pal. They have built a wonderful community of people that truly care about making fitness and exercise both accessible and inclusive. There is a great variety in programming and diversity in instructors. It's great to see people that look like me teaching and sharing their passion for fitness.

Expérience fantastique: Unchained Athletics have shaped me into the athlete I am today. Their dedication and commitment to their clients health and wellness is amazing. I have been training with Eddy for over two years now, and he has always found a way to challenge myself and push me out of my comfort zone. I have the pleasure of being apart of the UA Boxing Academy where we had trained and prepared for competitive boxing matches (which resulted in a WIN for myself & Unchained Athletics!). I could rant forever about how amazing the classes and coaches are from Unchained, but go try out a session for yourself... you won't be disappointed!!

Expérience fantastique: Unchained Athletics has a lot of heart. The team is amazing. Their professionalism and commitment to fitness and health has been very inspiring to me in a time when I needed to be inspired. The Unchained Athletics team took the time to really learn about me and what my fitness goals are. They set me up with success in mind and now I am working toward my goals while feeling inspired. Their knowledge mixed with the teams energy and experience has truly helped me to move toward where I want to be physically and mentally. Can’t wait to continue working with them in 2021

Expérience fantastique: As someone who consistently got the worst grade in gym class (and I never skipped class, lol) and is known to cry after workouts, Unchained Athletics has been the best place ever for me to learn what I need to learn. Shully (my trainer) is the best, most accommodating coach who does not emphasise body goals since they aren't my priority (ok, except wanting a fat bum) and is helping me figure out to get used to moving my body in the weirdest ways. Also, I took an awesome mobility class with Eddy to work on my range of motion (I think? new words) and I can't stop talking about how I rolled a lacrosse ball across my bum ("glutes"). If you have the cash to spare and are looking for dope, affordable fitness, their online options are where it's at!

Expérience fantastique: When I was training with the founder Eddy, I was in the best shape of my life. He is tough, but the results you see from his classes are worth the exhaustion and sweat. Can't recommend their classes enough - you won't be disappointed!

Expérience fantastique: The coaches at Unchained have pushed me to step outside of my comfort zone and become a stronger, more confident athlete. From their boxing academy, to personal training, to the community initiatives they are constantly a part of, their mission is consistently positive and enriching. If you are looking for the best of the best, this is it. You will leave every session feeling like your best self.

Expérience fantastique: Great coaching and good grasp of pushing ppl to their max effort

Expérience fantastique: I have been training with UA for the last 6 months and it has been the best decision! Not only have I become a lot stronger and confident in the gym, my self confidence has grown as well. My trainer Sophie is incredible to work with! I have scoliosis and she has been very cognizant of helping me workout with this in mind. She is knowledgeable, motivating and is now a great friend too! Since I've been working out my back and neck pain has noticeably decreased.

Expérience fantastique: Training with UA for the last few months has been great. The team is dedicated, well-versed in their line of work and motivated. All of this shows during each session with the coaches. Great experience all round!

Expérience fantastique: I had the pleasure of seeing Katie towards the end of 2017 and couldn't be happier. She has been able to work my hectic schedule and works with great professionalism.

Expérience fantastique: I’ve been training with Eddy for over a year and it has been an amazing journey. Over the past year I have become so much stronger, healthier and fitter. I look forward to my workouts each time, even though I know they are going to be tough. But when you’re done you always feel amazing. Training with Eddy has made me love the gym and working out, it has pushed me to new limits I did not know were possible

Expérience fantastique: Been working with Eddy for over a year now. He has continued to push me and help me get back in Basketball shape and an overall healthy body view of myself. I would highly recommend him for anyone looking to improve their physical health but also mentally their outlook on themselves.

Expérience fantastique: Eddy did my asessment, he did an amazingly thorough assessment looking at every muscle to see where I was weak, I have chronic illnesses that effect the way I can work out, he took this into account and created a customized program for me. Alli was assigned as my trainer, she's amazing! She's tough, but kind and funny, I always have a good time and leave each session sore and feeling like I got a great workout. They listened to what I need for my health, lifestyle and career and have custom tailored their program to me, they also designed work outs for me to do at home when not with my trainer. I couldn't be happier!

Expérience fantastique: UA's boxing academy is amazing! Eddy really is invested in everyone in the class, pushing you to your limits and encouraging you throughout the program!
