This place has truly been a game-changer in my fitness journey. Right from day one, it felt like stepping into a second home with the PEF family. Linda and Irine, our incredible instructors, go above and beyond to inspire everyone to push their limits. The atmosphere is simply contagious, not just in burning calories but in melting away the stress.
What sets PEF apart is the warmth and support of the entire community. I've ventured into different fitness spaces, but I'm genuinely grateful to have found this gem. Despite my struggles with dance steps, the community, especially Maria, has been an incredible source of learning and encouragement.
After each class, I sense progress, like I'm a step closer to my fitness goals. The Zumba classes here are an absolute must-try. It's impossible not to get hooked. If you haven't experienced it yet, the first class is free, the rates are reasonable, and anyone will love it.
Cheers to PEF for making my fitness journey not just effective but also immensely enjoyable!

Linda and her team are fantastic. They are enthusiastic, skilled, organized, fun and incredibly welcoming. They have fostered a great community of women who value health and genuine connection. They go above and beyond to add on extra health activities at the end of the classes. We need more of Linda and her team all over the GTA!

Wish I could give more than 5 stars. This is the best fitness group I have ever been part of. It is much more than a fitness class. Linda has created a community of people who share her values of inclusiveness, giving back to the community and fun while getting fit. I also love the music!

Pure Energy Fitness is a great place to get your workout groove on! There's Zumba, toning, yoga and Pilates all led by certified fitness instructors an all in a no judgement environment. There's also fantastic nature hikes! But that's just the excercise part. PEF is sooo much more. It's a community built on fun, positivity, wellness, giving and inclusivity. I've been a member for years and highly recommend PEF!

I have hit my 10 year mark of being a member with Pure Energy Fitness. That right there alone is a testament of how fantastic this fitness and wellness facility is. The energy, thought and care put towards each and every member from class to class is incomparable. I love having my limits raised and personal challenges met and for 10 years this has been consistently achieved. No better certified instructors than Linda Raponi and Mika Midolo out there! From Zumba, Yoga and Pilates, they cannot be beat.

Pure Energy Fitness has been a lifesaver! Prior to the pandemic it was more than a fitness experience, it was also a social experience. Throughout the pandemic, it has virtually kept me fit and has given me much needed social interactions. I have met so many wonderful people and experienced many new things. Thank you to the PEF team and to the amazing members for being a huge, wonderful part of my life! ️

I love that it’s more of a community and feel like family instead of a fitness room and just a number. Instructors are fully certified and I know there is quality and informative training, plus caring for all of the members well-being.

This is honestly the best fitness community ever! Linda and the PEF community have changed my life. My health and fitness level has improved 10 fold but more importantly I have met lifelong friends who love and support each other not only in our fitness journeys but in our lives. People need people! During Covid, Linda and her crew has continued to bring the best of the best fitness classes to our community and has helped us continue to grow and thrive through very difficult days. I am eternally grateful. Give it a try, you will never look back!

If you like to dance, then you need to try Zumba with Linda. She is awesome. She is so high energy and her smile lights up the room (or screen when we are virtual). You will get an amazing workout, but it won't feel like you are working out because you are having so much fun!

I tried Zumba about 8 years ago and I’m still going! Classes are so much fun. The music is fantastic and modifications are shown so everyone can work at their own level. There is no judgment, only support and encouragement.

In addition to Zumba, Pure Energy Fitness now offers Pilates and Yoga. Linda and Mika are constantly learning and upgrading their skills so that they can help us reach our fitness goals. They also offer nutritional help.

Pure Energy Fitness is more than a fitness club. Before the pandemic, there were lots of events to encourage social interaction and to sometimes try new things. Since the pandemic, Linda and her crew have adapted these events to the virtual world so that we can keep these connections going.

I am so glad and grateful that I found Pure Energy Fitness!

I first learned about Zumba at a charity event that I went to almost 4 years ago. So I told a friend of mine that we had to try it and asked her to help me find a Zumba class in Pickering. She heard about Linda from a friend and told me about her classes and I was hooked from day one.
I was so nervous to join the class because I have never really gone to a group class in my life. But as soon as she started I was hooked! The energy and positivity that you feel from Linda is unbelievable until you go to one of her classes.
She gets you pumped in a matter of seconds. Linda is an amazing fitness Zumba instructor that will make you feel comfortable in minutes. She explains every move in detail and makes sure everyone is doing their best and safely and all at the same time making sure that everyone is having a great time.
Her classes are not regular exercise classes, more like a dance club with your best friends! You don't feel the calories melt away because you're having so much fun!
I would recommend Linda's Zumba classes with Pure Energy Fitness to everyone.
Once you try one of her classes you'll keep on coming back for more. It's highly addictive, Linda is the best! Love her, love her classes! Zumba Ahhhhh!

Linda and her team are professional, punctual and consistent but more than that they are encouraging, loving and welcoming! From the Pure Energy Website it is easy to see and sign up to attend and pay for classes. The Zoom classes are wonderful and the in-person classes that will resume in the near future will be even greater!

Every class is an hour of pure fun! It’s so much more than just fitness, PEF welcomes everyone in and makes you feel like you’ve found a new home, a new family and new friends.
An added bonus is that I’m in the best shape of my life! I attend every class (virtually at the moment) I can and it is sanity saving during covid.
I recommend Pure Energy Fitness to everyone I talk to (they all ask me how I lost so much weight) and I don’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a fitness home and family.

When I moved from downtown Toronto to Pickering a year ago, I really wanted to find another zumba class that I really loved and lucky me, I found Pure Energy Fitness.
Linda and her team made me feel so welcome from day one! I have made lots of life long friends as it is not just a fitness class, it is a real community. This class is high energy and you will, I guarantee, leave with a smile on your face, and you will look forward to the next class.
This is not just a zumba class, there is toning, and also Pilates with Mika and Yoga with Kathia. I started Pilates in the new year and my core and I are feeling so thankful!
Throughout this pandemic and crazy world Pure Energy Fitness has switched to zoom classes and we are all so grateful for the opportunity to keep up our fitness levels and connect with our fitness family and this is what we are a FAMILY!
I think that is enough from me and I invite you to come along and give it a try.you won't regret it

My friend Irene recommended Linda's class for years and when I attended the annual event they hold at St. Mary C. S. S.to benefit Learning for Hope I just got hooked. I started attending Linda's Zumba class a year ago and as a Latina who absolutely loves dancing I can honestly say it has been one of the best and most fun ways to exercise I could ever have found (thanks, Irene!). Linda is such a special instructor not just because of her amazing dancing (and teaching) skills, her contagious energy, which keeps everyone motivated, the way she adds just that little bit more to her classes (she includes toning and now ab work!), but Linda's greatest asset is her heart, her generous spirit and the way she gives everything of herself to her students inside and outside of the class: she's a fantastic friend, the best motivator, she's always providing health and diet tips on her Facebook page and she always keeps herself updated with the latest songs and Zumba routines. We are very lucky to have her in Pickering and I would highly recommend her classes to anyone who's thinking of joining.

You have not experienced a Zumba class unless you’ve taken one with Linda Raponi. I am now in the best shape of my life because of Linda and her Zumba classes and it has truly been one of the most positive experiences of my life.

About 3 ½ years ago I decided to try a Zumba class. I had managed to lose 40 lbs and needed to add exercise into my routine. This was totally outside of my comfort zone…I’m not a dancer or very coordinated for that matter and my fitness level was beginner. On top of that I am very shy and tend to keep to myself. I braved my first class, stood at the back and did my best to follow along. It was like nothing I had ever experienced before in my life. It was so much fun! The energy in that room was toxic. Linda had everyone hooting and hollering and begging for more! More! I’m not kidding! No one wanted the class to end. I couldn’t believe how much fun this “exercise” was! I was sweating and out of breath, but I felt like I was at a dance party with no rules, where everyone was free to be themselves. I was addicted and have been ever since. I was able to lose 10 more lbs and I feel great!

Taking Zumba classes have made me feel more confident, and given me the courage to try new things I’d never thought I could do. I look forward to every class and I leave with a smile on my face, feeling truly happy.

Linda is genuinely caring and supportive and uses her gift to help support worthy causes in the community. She has created an atmosphere of fun, fitness and friendship. She IS our Zumba Mami.
