Toronto Gym in the heart of Davisville

Cool underground gym, a lot of equipment and doesn't get too busy.

Excellent place to train with professional personal trainers.

I’ve been going to this gym for about six months and wanted to wait until I had fully experienced their services before writing a review. I can confidently say they do an excellent job. I’ve never had to wait for equipment, and there’s a great variety to choose from. Everyone here is incredibly friendly, and it’s a great option for those who prefer a less crowded environment with personalized attention. Special shout-out to Jessica for being an excellent personal trainer!

Excellent Gym & Martial Arts Facility. Good Trainers available if needed to help you get started, especially if this is you 1st time joining a gym. Just a few steps from the subway.

Striation 6 Fitness Center is fantastic! The staff is super friendly and always ready to help. The gym is spotless and well-organized, with top-quality equipment. It’s the perfect place to reach your fitness goals. Highly recommend!

I have been training at striation 6 for almost two years now. I can count the number of times I have had to wait for a machine on one hand. Despite fostering a large (but close-knit) community, the gym is rarely "packed" and always has enough equipment and space to hit your most ideal workout. The machines, dumbbells, barbells and plates are high quality, and specifically curated to fit the needs of both high-level athletes and beginners alike. Cannot recommend a gym (or honestly anything) more than this one.

Great gym! Been going here for about 2 years. Awesome staff and equipment. Great place to workout.

This gym is the best kept secret in the Davisville neighborhood.

Love this place! This gym is small and friendly. Sam, the owner, cares about his clients and genuinely wants to help them achieve their fitness goals. I’ve watched trainers working with people of all different ages and abilities while I’m working out and they meet people where they are at in their fitness journey then help them improve. No pressure, no hard sell tactics, just a great place to work out!

I am a 60 year old woman who wanted to get back into training. I signed up for some private sessions. The guidance I was given was excellent, took into account my age, strengths and abilities without being to overwhelming.

I love that Striation 6 is steps away from the Yonge & Davisville intersection - it’s so convenient! Their space has everything I need for a great strength workout; and their change rooms are massive! Thank you for a no-fuss gym that I can come to anytime!

I love this gym and the team here! I joined back in 2020, was super out of shape and overweight, painfully body conscious, was intimidated by most gyms and had no idea where to start with fitness. The small gym environment and the friendly atmosphere at Striation was exactly what I needed to get into a routine and with the help of Jess (super trainer!) and Sam (so knowledgeable!), the progress I have made in the last four years has been amazing. Not even just physically but also a much better, stronger mindset in general. I made the mistake of quitting striation at one point, going with a closer and more budget fitness option, but quickly realized how special the experience at striation is in comparison and came back. The way this team has embraced me and supported my goals, the way I've watched them handle covid and the various phases of restrictions, the way they accommodate and share knowledge with their clients......these things make all the difference, and I haven't experienced this type of family feel anywhere else. My body, and my life really, have done a total 180 since i joined striation and i owe it all to these guys......I really can't say enough good things about them. 🙂 thanks for everything 🙏 ❤️

Nice place, quiet and not so crowded. Never ever have to wait for machines and people are very friendly.

Striation6 has been my go to gym for years. It’s always extremely clean, it’s never too busy that you have to wait longer than a set at most for a machine, and staff is always around to answer any questions. The community is very friendly and it’s a safe and welcoming environment for anyone who’s scared to try a new gym for the first time. Special shout out to Sam, he’s extremely knowledgeable and always willing to lend a hand if needed!

its quite amazing feeling like marvel super hero training in here

Sam runs a great gym, it might be small but it has everything you need. There are always cardio machines available, and plenty of kettlebells, dumbbells, barbellls, racks, cables, and machines to keep you lifting. Members are considerate and respectful of both the equipment and each other.

Thank you Sam for your knowledge and integrity.

This gym is fantastic! It's centrally located, clean, and well-lit. I've never had to wait for a machine, and the people here are really friendly. Special shoutout to Sam and Jessica—both have been supportive and helpful. Keep up the great work! Highly recommended.

What a great place to workout, get in shape and actually enjoy exercise. They have a very welcoming environment with an awesome staff. The locker rooms, showers and weight room are are kept incredibly clean. The place is very spacious with plenty of weights and equipment to cater to all kinds of workouts and for all kinds of people, whether you're a beginner or an elite athlete. Sam, the owner is an awesome guy, super friendly and has a great energy. His staff of Personal Trainers are also just as amazing and will help you get in the kind of shape you want/need. I strongly recommend this place to anyone and everyone.

Great gym. I’ve had an amazing experience here.

Esther is my trainer and she is the most attentive, thorough and creative trainer I've ever worked with. She is a meticulous and unrelenting detective at ferreting out exactly what muscles I'm using in a less than optimal manner and then working out exercises to help first develop mindfulness about what to be aware of and later to practice using those muscles in more effective harmony. I'm delighted!

I never knew about this place until I heard about it from a friend, now i’m obsessed.

While the prices might be expensive, this place offers the best and only the best.

Everyone is so nice here, I am in the wrestling program and it is one of the best programs I have ever been in.

This is one of the most comfortable gym places I have ever been in, especially given the variety of machines, equipment and space. This is a supportive quiet place where people come to sweat, work hard and be themselves. I never feel uncomfortable or less than ... Even though there are folks here that are from all different fitness experiences and backgrounds. Lots of different ways to be a healthy human. The decor is amazing painted graffiti style which is super distracting (in a great way!) when you need to take your mind off the difficult workout. So much to do here, never waiting for a machine, hand weight, or barbell. Thankful to have found this secret gem=gym in my neighbourhood. Very affordable as well! Especially given all the space has to offer. Cannot recommend more highly!

Very cool facility, with excellent equipment, amenities, and staff. I highly recommend!

Striation provides a variety of services, all at the highest level of quality. I have been involved with the isometric program, which provides a full body workout, for the last 6+ years. It transferred online during Covid and was instrumental in maintaining physical and mental health. As the epidemic is now done, I have added the gym and an excersize plan to my routine which provides excellent cardio and work out that addresses the problems of having a desk job. The gym is clean and provides a great selection of machines as well as the usual assortment of weights and other instruments for training. An excellent place to go to maintain and extend health.

I came to Striation6 for help regaining my strength after fracturing multiple bones and tearing my quad tendon in a bicycle crash. To make things more complicated, I also have osteoporosis. I was in pain from my injuries and afraid of breaking more bones and I needed a personal trainer who was knowledgeable and experienced. I feel very lucky to have found Esther. Esther taught me how to strength train safely and I now feel more confident in the gym. After completing my 10-session training package, I am much stronger and have less pain. Thank you so much, Esther!

Striation 6 changed my mind about exercising. I was not a gym person at all, but I feel very welcomed in there as a starter. The gym is in Davisville, a minute walk away from the subway station, so the location is very convenient. The gym is also well-equipped and super clean. There are many instructors that you can choose to work out with if you need professional support. It is not overcrowded, and all members are very nice and respectful people. Personal training sessions are at a reasonable price range which is a great opportunity if you want to work out with PT. The owner, Sam Trotta is very knowledgeable, and you can directly contact him if you have any questions or concerns. All trainers are super helpful, Jessica gave me some tips about fitting my diet into my workout plan. Sensei Jose is teaching Judo and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to all ages, which is an opportunity for you if you are into Martial Arts. Lastly, I've been training with Sam Candy for almost 7 months now and I can't recommend him enough. I wanted to lose my last few pounds and become stronger, so he introduced me to lifting weights. Thanks to his advice and support I am much stronger and lean. Overall, if you are thinking to start a gym, please give it a chance to Striation 6, you won’t regret it.

I have been training with Esther and I can’t recommend her enough. She is knowledgeable and very motivating. I was nervous about working out after having a C-Section, but Esther’s approach is to really listen to your body. I have been able to strengthen my core through the many isometric exercises she has shown me. Every workout is different and she manages to make it fun.

Convenient location and parking, great colourful space, a huge variety of equipment and knowledgeable and personable trainers. I have worked with Sam Trotta for more than a dozen years and my physical and mental health are much better for it.

Hands down best choice I’ve ever made. The trainers are wonderful and inclusive and stay up to date on the latest health issues and technics.

Been training with Sam for +10 years. Top tier gym, staff and atmosphere. A hidden gem right off Yonge.

After a year of not being able to work out due to my injury at another gym. I am very happy with my trainer Esther. She was able to get me back into my workout routine and help me work around my injury. Thank you Esther!

I have always enjoyed working out at Striation 6. The underground feel to the gym is perfect and their trainers are diverse in skill set. I personally trained with Jessica, she's phenomenal. No person I would trust with my physical health more than her. Best trainer in the city.

This is a beautiful gym with passionate, knowledgeable trainers who are up to date on all of the latest stuff in physiology, exercise, nutrition, etc. It's a beautiful boutique style gym that is very conveniently located next to a major subway station. In addition to all of this, they also have the best tasting water that I have had in quite some time. They have two water filtration machines located near the locker rooms that produce exquisite water. I would put this water up against anyone's water and would be surprised if it didn't emerge as the victor. You get what you pay for and Striation is a step above most gyms.

I love Striation 6 - it is like a home away from home. It is clean and has a diverse range of equipment. Everything a person needs and more! Sam, the owner, is a wealth of knowledge. He has a philosophy on fitness that is accessible for all. My trainer - Jose - is excellent. He is motivating and encouraging. His years of experience are a direct correlation to the high quality personal training he delivers. He has taken great time and effort to develop a program suited to my goals as an amateur athlete. And, while we are training hard, he focuses on correctness of technique and safety, keeping my risk of injury very low. Most importantly, the atmosphere is friendly, inclusive and a comfortable space to train. As a woman, I search for positive environments, where I can feel safe and free. This is that place.

Great facilities, friendly and helpful staff and absolutely the place to be for exceptional personal training. Can't recommend this place enough.

This incredible fitness space makes for transformative experiences. Personal training with David is great - I feel that he really understands my goals and values and has crafted a well thought out plan to drive towards those goals.

Top class and the isophit machines are great !!!!

Sam and his team are amazing. Can't say enough about Striation. Clean, caring staff, fun, nice machines. You should go!

Esther is the fitness trainer extraordinaire! She has significantly improved my back muscles so much that my back no longer hurts on day long hikes. Esther is excellent at assessing one's fitness level so that training sessions are geared specifically to your range of motion. The owner, Sam is always accommodating to fitness plans that suit your budget and schedule. So glad the Striation Six gym is finally open after so many months of pandemic lockdown :))

I would eagerly click on a constellation of stars, let alone five of them, to support the lifesaving role Sam and Striation 6 have played in my life for over a decade. There is so much to say and praise about Striation 6. My current corpulence is slowly yielding to restored mobility and strength after 18 months of cold turkey imposed by lockdown.The physical literacy of co founder Sam and his seemingly effortless way of making the hour pass without my needing or wanting to look at the clock is a defining feature. Anyone who puts themselves in the hands of Striation Six trainer should know that they do not subscribe to the No pain no Gain approach. All effort yes. Stupid exertion, never. I am 62 years old and ungainly but the vibe at the gym is not one of performative posturing and a culture of youth. I feel at home. Sam and the team are inventing fitness for Boomers (not a specialization, just a gift) that will keep me contemplating and occasionally occupying dance floors for years to come. If you stand outside the gym on any Saturday at noon the tall man with a spring in his step is me coming out ready to face the world with all muscles activated.

Great, clean gym. Fantastic equipment with a warm and friendly culture.

I have been attending Striation 6 for 3 years, and I have seen a marked improvement in my muscle tone, fitness, and back posture! Esther has done a fantastic job in training me. Besides having the necessary knowledge and skills to guide me personally in my fitness training, she practices what she preaches. The space is well equipped and organized. They are taking great precautions during this COVID Pandemic, and I am thrilled that they have reopened their doors. I highly recommend Striation 6 for your fitness health!

I joined gym about a month ago and with the help of Trainer Jessica I already see positive results. Jessica is very professional and customized the workout plans as per my fitness level. She is quite informative and very encouraging and supporting. She has educated me enough that i can continue with the workout plans independently. She kept pushing me and challenged me to carry more weight which I thought i can never do. The other best part during this Workout Challenge, is the very tasty & HEALTHY recipes they provided which my whole family loves. Its extremely well designed that gives a perfect balanced diet needed for people like me struggling in weight-loss. Striation6 has many plans to suit my budget, diet plan that suited my comfort and the encouragement I need to push harder and not give up. The gym is always clean, well maintained & the ambiance is quite inviting for anyone to have a good workout.

Everyone should try this location. All coaches are Amazing.. They are very professional and making special service to all members as possible as..

I have been fascinated at how this gym facilitates and engages me since I started. My trainer Jessica is very creative with my work out routines and that makes my sessions enjoyable also push me stronger. Her training strategy makes exercise easy to pick up yet effective. She and accountability coach Jenna are both very encouraging and I like how they effectively communicate with me all the time. Every staff is very welcoming and atmosphere in this gym is simply great!

Striation 6 spun my lifestyle around!it's a great gym, with awesome trainers, and a very positive atmosphere.

Joining Striation 6 was one of the best commitments I made in 2020. I'm so glad that I made the decision to join the incredible team and fellow participants. I'm so thankful to have been partnered up with Jessica, she was encouraging and motivated us to challenge ourselves every time. The challenge has fostered in me a boost of confidence and trust in my ability to push through. I would recommend this challenge for anyone who wants to start on their journey of active lifestyle. Thank You Striation 6! Yall have been such a great community.
