I had my first baby and me fitness class here. I was very pleased! I was welcomed with open arms for a free trial. Freya is an excellent instructor with a very sound background in coaching. All the exercises were about making our post partum bodies strong. The fact that they even have a baby Wrangler so the moms can focus on themselves is a plus. Highly recommended.

This is by far the best crossfit gym in downtown Toronto. The coaching is amazing - everyone is highly knowledgeable, they have specialty coaches in gymnastics, olympic lifting, mobility, stick mobility and strength and conditioning. The atmosphere is friendly and inclusive but also cool. And the community is outstanding. Even if you just drop by for a coffee in the cafe, this is a fun place to hang out for an hour. But take a class! You won't regret it!

A gym that claims to be for the community" but proves to be otherwise.There are many genuine members and staff. This review is solely based on my personal experience with the individual I was working with and the owners of the gym.I trained at this facility with a one-on-one coach (personal training) specifically for olympic weightlifting from June/July 2021 - May 2022.For a chunk of this duration

There aren't many gyms that offer the variety of classes that AOL does. They have elite coaches teaching all levels of Olympic Weightlifting, Crossfit, Metcon, Gymnastics, and PT. There's even a run club. So, it's easy to find a class that fits your fitness and health goals.Drop-in friendly. Every workout can be scaled to your ability.The community is open, inclusive, and supportive. Tons of social and fund raising events that bring members together.The cost/value of membership is comparable if not better than a lot of other gyms in the city.Location is excellent - steps from Ossignton strip and right and a TTC stop right across the street. Plenty of street parking available and a parking lot just west of the building.

I can’t NOT give them a five star! Academy of Lions welcomed me with open arms for my open gym needs, since I had a coach and a personalized program. They have an area to get changed, a clean bathroom at all times, and more than enough open space to train. Don’t forget the bar in the lobby for coffee and protein needs. The owners and the administration were more than helpful when I wanted an extension of a couple of days before I left.In conclusion, the place is big, clean, and well equipped. The classes are beyond trained and are extremely fun! It’s three floors filled with space and different classes. I wish I had that in Florida!AOL, thank you for taking good care of me. I will be back!

Soha is an outstanding female leader. Compassionate, bold and intelligent. Their staff and facilities are welcoming for any athlete or beginner wanting to improve their well being and be part of a great community. Keep up the great work & positivity.

This is one of the best gym in the city. It’s actually more than a gym. It’s where people come to heal, mentally and physically. The community is second to none. I’m genuinely so happy to be a part of this great community. Love the coaches and the staff. Knowledgeable, friendly and motivating.

Lions Academy has it all. Great classes, great coaches, and a great space. Welcoming staff and trainers always there to help with anything. Also brand new clean showers with towel service. Highly recommend.

I’ve been attending personal training with Yolo here for 1.5 years and she is great, all the staff and clients are so nice and encouraging. Can’t say enough nice things about this gym.

definitely not “for the community” as they claim to be. they treat people with different body types terribly and the facility is dirty and not well maintained. fitness is for everyone till they dont look how you want them to, I guess?
