Torque Barbell

I would highly recommend coming to Torque Barbell! I've been to many different gyms in Toronto and overseas and this is by far one of the best facilities to train at. The staff is also extremely professional and knowledgeable in this industry. If you are looking to reach your fitness goals and take it to the next level this is the place to be.

Started coming here about a month ago while temporarily in Toronto. The atmosphere is so welcoming, comfortable, and unpretentious.If you’re looking for shiny new equipment and being pampered with spa-like amenities, then this is not the gym for you. If you’re looking for solid, reliable equipment, down to earth trainers, enjoy petting a dog occasionally, and a community of people who care more about working hard and lifting each other up (metaphorical ……. although technically, this could be true literally), this gym hits the sweet spot.I’ve enjoyed coming so much I wish I could take this gym back home with me.

I found out about Torque while searching for a personal trainer in my neighbourhood and immediately knew Christiane was the right trainer for me - she is attentive, very skilled and, most importantly, makes our workouts fun. I have made so much progress in a short space of time. Hands down the best trainer!

Torque barbell is a great place to train as a woman. They have very diverse machines with very knowledgeable trainers. The other clients are friendly and respectful. From my first day at torque I felt at home

Friendly and helpful staff and personal trainers. A lot of equipment - it is well-used by top-of-the line stuff and in great shape. The changing room is clean (albeit a little tight). I never have to wait long for a machine. The fees and cost of training sessions are reasonable.Most important, though, is the atmosphere/vibe. One might think a bodybuilding gym might be intimidating for newbs, but in reality the complete opposite is the case - this is a friendly and welcoming place for folks of all abilities. I am not sure what the owners have done to create this atmosphere but whatever it is, it is working....

Torque has Great equipment, highly knowledgeable and helpful staff aswell as a stellar community that you will never get at a franchised gym. It deserves its reputation as the best gym in the city of Toronto.

Joined Torque about a year ago hoping to increase my strength training and found it to be a perfect, welcoming environment. Many of the clients are athletes or professionals, which is very motivating.I first looked into personal training when I got pregnant last year. I was able to work with Christiane, who was amazing - got me through my pregnancy stronger than ever, and now helping me get stronger post-partum. A true, knowledgeable professional - she is also a chiropractor! Highly recommend. I don't think I could have made these gains and stayed as strong if it weren't for Chris!

Excellent gym. They have found a way to fit a lot of equipment into this space, and create a great and inclusive environment for lifting. Staff were very friendly and this gym is perfect for powerlifters, cross fit, body builders, etc. Definitely recommend!

Excellent gym! The staff and trainers are lovely, and there is lots of equipment and space to stretch, or do your own thing. I wasn't sure what to expect when I joined Torque Barbell, as there's a focus on powerlifting and I come from a dance and gymnastics background (with 0 powerlifting experience), however, I was pleasantly surprised. It is a great space, inclusive, friendly and easy going. Highly recommended!
