Elevation Martial Arts & Training Centre

My daughters have been going to Elevation since June 2018. They enjoy going to the classes a lot. The owner is the most generous business man I have ever met. He constantly holds parties and events for his students and their friends without a charge. During the pandemic, he offered free online classes for the students to keep them active. The coaches there are very supportive and encouraging. The facility is clean and well maintained. It is a great school with great people, teaching invaluable lessons on the daily and completely embodies what martial arts is about! I highly recommend Elevation Martial Arts and Training centre!!Hi! My name is Exxxxx. I am 10 years old. I started to go to Elevation when I was 6 years old. My coaches are very kind. They support me not only inside the gym but also outside of the gym. I was away from November to February because I had to perform a musical production in downtown every evening. Coach Ritch bought tickets for his family and himself to watch me perform on the Boxing day. I want to thank Coach Ritch and his family for the support!!

I’ve trained with Derek and Jean for years and glad to be able to take some of their HIIT and kettlebell classes in such a nice and welcoming gym. The other people that train there are awesome and supportive which is key in these physically challenging classes.Every class is different and dynamic so it’s always something new and interesting. Derek always makes sure the classes are engaging and that you’re doing the moves with proper technique. Jean’s warm up and cool down exercises are equally important so you’re getting an all-round full body workout.

Our kids Lia and Nick have been attending Elevation for over 3 years, and the skill, confidence, and focus they have gained over the years have all contributed to the amazing, talented, caring coaches at Elevation.Coach Ritch, Coach Morgan, and the rest of the coaching team are absolutely incredible. The coaches not only teach the kids martial arts but also to be respectful, positive, and confident.This is not just a gym but a family. A family that cares for one another, supports and encourages each other.We highly recommend Elevation to our family and friends.Teresa and John Uzelac

I started with a 3 class pass. I started with no Muay Thai experience, and I was scared of looking and feeling like like a fool. I showed up though, and despite being new, the instructor was patient. The front staff were wonderful and welcoming! The instructor introduced himself, explained what the class was going to entail and encouraged me to go at a pace I could sustain.The class started with some skipping and conditioning, then we learned some combinations on the bags. The instructor came around to all of us and helped with anything we needed. He helped me correct some things with my stance to keep me level. I never felt dumb, I never felt excluded or forgotten about. I felt like I was part of something and before I knew it, class was over.I've met three instructors and they have different conditioning styles but they're all patient, kind, helpful, attentive and understanding of your limits. If you're looking for a gym that treats you like a person, and helps you with your goals, this is the place.More than fair pricing for what you get! Looking forward to the next year with Elevation!

Started doing some of Derek's strength & conditioning classes and didn't take long to see results. Really enjoying the variety and fun challenges in the exercises.

I don’t think any gym in the GTA can top this one. Most professional and knowledgeable coaches and staff I’ve ever had.

My son has been attending for about 2.5 years and has been thoroughly enjoying himself. Each class is 45 minutes long and very well structured. There's a warm up that really gets the heart rate going for the kids. The kids then do an activity where they are working together, like an obstacle course, a relay or shoulder tag between two kids. They then end it off by doing some combinations to practice their technique.The coaches are fantastic. Coach Morgan is great with the kids. She is always trying to get each kid to do their best. She knows all the kids names and she has a genuine passion for what she does. There's definitely a positive energy from the gym and the kids are always having a blast. It's kept very tidy and organized even in the slushy winter. There's a viewing area available for the parents who want to stay and watch the class. And there's also a trial membership which is a great option for kids/parents who are unsure. Overall, our experience has been very positive!

If you want to learn various martial arts or improve your overall fitness and health this is the best place to be. Elevation has changed my life for the better and has taught me how to become a skilled kickboxer. The coaches are all so supportive and welcoming! I could not ask for a better community!

Elevation is the best training center I've ever been to. It's such a genuine, friendly, warm and welcoming place. Coach Ritch hosts a environment of positive growth, fitness, discipline and hard work. Coach Colten, coach Morgan and the rest of the Elevation staff are highly skilled to say the least. They are very meticulous and thoughtful in their training. In the group classes, everyone receives specific care and attention in how to purposefully better their technique and performance. The facility is extremely clean and regularly maintained. It's inspiring how pristine the space is. Their staff is truly exceptional and I highly recommend anyone at all age brackets and levels to train at this academy. It's the best place to be for top quality training!
