I love these classes! It’s 50 minutes of being satisfying and gratifying fitness, designed to welcome people of all fitness levels and ages, so that you can work at an intensity that is sufficiently challenging for you, without peer pressure. The attendees are friendly and it’s a supportive, body-positive environment.

Recess is great! Small class sizes and welcoming environment. Adrian is a great trainer. He explains the physiology and the value/purpose of each exercise. Looking forward to my next class!

Lois S.

A great addition to the neighbourhood and my favourite spot to work out. A range of classes to suit any fitness level. Adrian is an amazing fitness instructor and makes it an effort to meet your fitness goals. Ask him to play a BTS tune!

Beautiful space, spacious gym with lots of class and personal training options for people in all stages of their fitness journey. Great community vibes and support. They can help you reach your fitness goals - from gaining overall strength to improving endurance, to more specific things like improving your overhead press. Really knowledgeable and friendly owners!

Have been going to the recess fit club group classes for few months now and I cannot recommend enough! Definitely getting much stronger. The community is great, everyone is friendly, and is perfect for those who are new to or want to get back to weight lifting.

I can't praise Recess Fit Club enough! Their programs are tailored to individual needs and led by helpful, knowledgeable trainers. The friendly atmosphere makes working out a joy. Classes are small, and the space is always spotless. I've never missed a class since I joined -- they make it so easy to show up. If you're looking for a fantastic strength program in a welcoming environment, this gym is the best! Highly recommended.

Our classes have a curriculum founded around the basics of strength training, which allow you to learn form, build strength sustainably, and see measurable progress over time.

Learn strength training basics, see progress, and leave energized for the rest of your day!

Our class schedule is thoughtfully designed for you to come 2-3 times a week

While fitness may not be your main hobby, but we know it empowers you to live your best life.

At Recess Fit Club, our trainers bring a wide range of expertise, education, and training, including:

  • Beginner-fitness
  • Bodyweight exercise
  • Barbell & kettlebell skills
  • Training for flexibility & mobility
  • Kinesiology
  • Strength training post-physiotherapy
  • Pre-natal & post-natal fitness
  • Seniors fitness

 

Most importantly, our trainers are super empathetic and have years of practical experience helping real people who are recovering from an injury and who struggle with sticking to a routine, to name a few examples.

You’ll feel understood and supported throughout your fitness journey with us!

We have walked into gyms before and felt intimidated, unwelcomed, or unsafe. 

At Recess Fit Club we have very intentionally created a culture that is both inclusive and approachable.

Some great ways we do this:

  • We have non-gendered washrooms and changing spaces.
  • We do not permit any yelling or aggressive language.
  • We will always ask for consent prior to touching you (for the purposes of form correction).

 

We know that you’re going to love training in our gym, and working out with us is going to be a highlight of your day.

(But don’t take our word for it, check out our testimonials.)
