“We’re a little more open to the trained athlete or the person that knows what they’re doing, but we also give a free training session to the beginners so they’re comfortable – so we really welcome both types of people,” explained Hone CEO Jim Soloman (who used to run Extreme Fitness in Toronto before Goodlife took over).
The second level was full of cardio equipment – 170 brand new machines, to be exact. It really is a nice gym, aesthetically speaking, with exposed brick walls and windows overlooking Yonge St. It definitely didn’t feel overcrowded, and many of the machines were still available – something you wouldn’t find at a Goodlife after 5pm.
The third level is filled with strength training equipment; I was impressed with with the number and variety of pieces. Everyone is welcome here, even those beefy guys that Planet Fitness turns their noses up at. Amongst all the machines are benches and a squat rack or two and plenty of free weights.
Walking up to the second level, we went right into the change room, which was clean, with plenty of lockers available. Again, with a $10 gym, there aren’t any real bells and whistles, so bring your own towel if you plan on showering after.
