Your Toronto Personal Trainer Team

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.

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.

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 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 🙏 ❤️

its quite amazing feeling like marvel super hero training in here

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

I am taking part in a 42 Day Weight Loss challenge run by Striation 6. I had not attended this gym previously. The people here are friendly with a nice community vibe. I was impressed with the amount of squat racks and variety of classes available. Daisy is great. She is attentive and encouraging. Jess and Omar run the MoveStrong classes. Jess is very encouraging and love the full body workout, often shaking a bit by the end. Omar's class is definitely for the more athletic, but my cardio has improved drastically (with a much slower resting heart rate from when I started). I've done a mix of both of their classes and depending on your goals both are great trainers. Coming in I was only planning to do the challenge and go back to my other gym. At this point I plan to continue with the MoveStrong classes as I have seen a drastic difference in a short time.

After a long absence from a real gym, I went to Striation 6 on the recommendation of a friend and he was not wrong. The personal training fitness challenge was amazing and helped me get more comfortable with the equipment and learning routines. My trainer Jessica was awesome and I really noticed major improvements after just a few weeks. Overall, the gym seems to have a great community, you see a lot of the same faces, all friendly and the staff are great. Really looking forward to the next few weeks and months and pushing myself even further.

I joined the 3 wk challenge and I'm so glad that I did. From the consultation with Jenna to my individual training sessions with Esther, they were all absolutely phenomenal. I'm so thankful to have been partnered up with Esther, she was the PERFECT match. She helped me become more confident in the gym and give me a boost of self-esteem as she encouraged me and acknowledged the work I put out. She's always communicating with me making sure that I wasn't hurting my back (due to back issues) or feeling it where I wasn't supposed to. She continuously pushed me to go harder each session and I always came out feeling super energized and happy about what was accomplished. Thank you guys !

My wife and I just joined Striation 6 and started off doing a three week challenge. We were paired up with Kyle for personal training and were given a really great meal plan that allowed us to help achieve our goals. Kyle has been a terrific trainer - he has taught us a good variety of exercises that keep us motivated! He is super knowledgeable but has a great knack of making even intimidating exercises very approachable. The gym itself is really great! The equipment is varied and we never had to wait for equipment we want to use. The staff is very friendly and welcoming! We are so happy we have found this gym!

3 weeks in after completing the personal training challenge I am loving this gym. The equipment is great and the staff and friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend!

Joining the straiation 6 challenge has been one of the best decisions I've ever made for my health. As someone who had very little knowledge of exercise and was incredibly anxious about the entire idea of just going to a gym, this was a perfect opportunity to learn in the most welcoming environment. My trainer Jessica was absolutely wonderful and I couldnt have asked for a better teacher. The challenges they've created are such a great affordable way to get a proper introduction to health and fitness. Experiencing first hand how accommodating and caring Sam, Jenna and the team have been has been such a blessing in my life and I cant thank them all enough.

What an awesome place. Very professional and caring staff. The place has an amazing training programs for anyone with any kind of goal. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a gym or achieve any fitness goal. I have had many gym experiences, but never found any performance centre as outstanding as Striation 6.

When I first joined Striation 6, I was at my heaviest weight and really feeling unhealthy and uncomfortable in my skin. I signed up for the 6 weeks challenge and never looked back. This is the best thing I have ever done for myself. The gym is friendly and most of all, non judgmental. The bootcamp classes are challenging and you can push yourself as hard as you want. My trainer Jessica is absolutely amazing and I've become so much stronger since I started training with her twice a week. I strongly recommend Striation 6 to anyone who is looking in improving their health and fitness...best gym ever!!

I came into this being someone who worked out from time to time, so I wasn't too much of a novice, but my first class of this boot camp really humbled me. Omar is an excellent trainer, pushes you to your fullest potential. Kyle like many of the other consultants are constantly pushing for your success. Gym atmosphere is great, everyone and the workers are super welcoming. You have all the equipment you need. I would fully recommend this gym to anyone and everyone

good place with variety of equipment. Trainer and Staff are very helpful
