Totum Life Science: King

I have been working with Victoria for the past 7 weeks on a shoulder issue. I have seen a huge improvement which I attribute to her knowledge and attention to detail. You have to put in the work but if you take her advice, you should see improvement.

Dr. Zevy is knowledgeable, compassionate, and patient. She listened to my concerns, asked very helpful questions, and paid attention to my needs. I went there with a sudden pain in my knee that hindered my ability to walk which in return made me extremely anxious. Specially because I was leaving on a trip the next morning. I walked out of her office with both my body and my mind in ease. I highly recommend Dr. Zevy for all your chiropractic needs.

I'm really grateful to have found Dr. Gavin through the clinic at Totum! I've been working with him for the past few weeks to help with my lower back pain. He's extremely patient with all of my questions and I always appreciate the time he takes to explain everything thoroughly and simply. Can't recommend him enough!

I have been having physiotherapy with Victoria Lavinskas over the last two months for treatment of severely dodgy knees. Thanks to Victoria, I am finally able to walk around without pain again. She is both highly knowledgeable and highly personable and has been committed to solving my current issues and future proofing me from further injury. Victoria has been great to work with and I highly recommend her and the staff at Totum.

Sharing two great reviews for two of my fave clinicians at Totum:

Coco Ang is an incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, and comprehensive physiotherapist who takes the extra step in making sure your rehab and exercises are totally adapted to your conditions. I saw her for my ankle injury and ongoing shoulder issues and have seen so much improvement with mobility and strength in just a few weeks. I also find her follow-up emails with detailed exercises quite helpful. She is also a super pleasant, awesome person and I always look forward to seeing her!

Gavin is an incredibly actionable, knowledgeable, and effective sports injury chiropractor who really understands mechanisms of injury and prevention. I’ve visited Gavin for numerous injuries over the years and have had amazing outcomes and turnarounds each time, allowing me to be fully active and functional!

The fitness club is also an overall beautiful, clean, and tastefully designed space with lots of natural lighting. My favourite gym in the city by far!

I saw Victoria barely able to walk. Her and her colleagues all worked together to get me back on my feet in a week and a half! She was attentive, thorough and committed to my recovery. A full service, skilled group of professionals that can offer a dynamic and multidisciplinary approach to healing.

Highly recommend working with Victoria who specializes in physiotherapy. She has helped me tremendously with both a hip and shoulder issue.

I've been going to Totum for 9 months now and have loved it. There's just such a sense of community there that I don't see myself leaving. I would recommend if you're looking for a new gym or just getting started.

I found this client last year, I was referred by a friend who had been here with amazing results. So I gave it a try.

Dr Wajid was my first point of contact as I didn’t know if I was suffering from muscle or bone pain. After just 1 sessions he found the problem to my lower back and hip stiffness. I had been to 3 chiropractors prior. They all just did their usual cracking techniques.
Dr Wajid is extremely great at his job!

He referred me to his co worker Gonzalo, who is probably one of the best physical massage therapist I’ve ever had. This clinic is professional and the staff are extremely knowledgeable and interested in helping.

My physiotherapist is Alex Chow, and within a few weeks of working together I can feel that I am in the right direction to fully recover my lost mobility. The gym offers the equipment and the environment for focusing on my treatment.

The treatments I am receiving from Dr. Waj Hoda and Sophia Do are exceptional! They assessed, diagnosed, and treated in an efficient and effective manner and provided much needed relief after the first visit. I appreciate being mobile again. Thank you!

Highly recommend Totum King! I’ve been a client here for years. The clinic staff are amazing and the facilities are beautiful and clean. Great location too. Definitely recommend for physiotherapy!

A HUGE thank you to Coco my physiotherapist. She gave me the confidence walk again - After struggling and being a cripple for more than three months and seeing numerous doctors and podiatrists and only got worse, and thought I have to wear orthotics for the rest of my life. Coco is amazing to work with, she is energetic, funny, caring and passionate about physical health. Highly recommend Coco!

I am more than happy to have Dr. Gavin. With his friendly way of welcoming me, I knew I was in good hands.
In his office, during the assessment, his body language showed me that he was a friendly person, and his gentle way of asking questions impressed me.
I was so pleased when I opened my email the following day after my appointment with Dr. Gavin; he asked how I was feeling and if my arm was sore. That tells me that he is a Doctor dedicated to his profession.
In this review, I am also pleased with Gonzalo that I will send my review Later, the whole team, including reception, welcomes people with a friendly faces.

Super happy with my experience at Totum so far. The staff is very friendly. The gym is great and I love all the classes that are offered. You feel welcomed from the moment you step in. I also go for chiro and have had a great experience with Dr. Wajid. Would highly recommend Totum to everyone.

I started going to Totum Life Science on King this past Fall. I have been seeing Coco Ang (Physio treatment) and Sophie Milan (Massage) & I could not talk more highly of them both. It's always a pleasure to see them, and I feel like they transformed me into a better version of myself.

I’ve been going to Totum for phyio and I cannot say enough how great the staff are there. I’ve been working with Victoria and she is very knowledgeable, as well as very personable. I’d highly recommend Totum and Victoria for PT.

My experience with Alex has been transformative. I look forward to seeing him as I am provided with instant relief and measurable results. Honestly highly recommend this place

I have to say, after visiting several different practitioners around Toronto with the same nagging issue none were as much help as Gavin at Totum.

Gavin and the rest of the guys were fantastic in helping and actually getting me on a treadmill and doing some video analysis to get to the root of the problem. Couldn't rate the place more highly.

I cannot begin to express how grateful I am since working with Alex Chow. He is an absolutely wonderful physiotherapist. He really listened to what I had to say, he was patient, and was extremely educational. I had been living with low back pain for about 3 years. Over the years I saw many different practitioners and while I saw some positive results, nothing seemed to be long-term and the pain would eventually creep up again.

Alex uses many different modalities, hands on/off techniques when treating you but my favourite thing about working with him is that he spends a great deal of time working with you in the gym and educating you on different exercises that will help you. He then takes the time to follow up after each session, making him very accessible. I was amazed that after 3-5 treatments within him I was practically pain-free and it lasted over the weeks I didn't see him.

Totum is also a wonderful facility. Its a large, clean, friendly space right on King Street W. With a larger gym space and many different practitioners, it has everything you need. I can’t recommend Alex and Totum enough people! Go check them out!

I am a competetive tennis player. I am being treated for Spinal Stenosis. Victoria my PT.has been skillful in crafting a program allowing me to continue at the highess level

Crack, snapple and pop.

Gavin has been extremely friendly and professional. He not only focuses on alleviating pain during sessions, but is committed to solving the problem at its source by giving bespoke exercises for me to do at home.

The point is eventually to see these professionals less over time, and they get that. Highly recommend.

Great Team and friendly staff. I would highly recommend Queenly for TCM and Acupuncture. She is the best!

I had a pleasant experiance at Totum and their beautiful space. I am currently doing a round of chiro for an arm/shoulder injury with dr. Gavin and i can't say enough of how professional, friendly and compassionate he is.highly recommend.

Alex Chow has been my physio for several years and he’s now at Totum’s beautiful space on King West. Alex has always been exceptional and I’m endlessly grateful to him for getting my shoulder back to being functional (and better than before!) after a terrible bike accident 4 years ago. Recently, he’s helped me with my back and hip issues. I can’t recommend him enough. I highly recommend Alex as he’s great at his job, he’s super knowledgeable, kind and has been able to help my body feel it’s best for years now.

Waj is the best! He is incredibly knowledge, helpful, kind and always knows what treatment will be the most effective for your issues.

Referred here by a friend for physiotherapy. Victoria (and staff) are fantastic. Professional, caring, and personable. I am very happy with my sessions. Even after the first consultation appointment I felt much better about my situation. Thank you.

I am working with a physio (Victoria) and a trainer (Mar) at Totum and having a really positive experience. I have an old sports injury that I am seeing progress with, and am super happy with my other results (gaining strength, flexibility) so far as well! All the staff from reception through admin are super friendly as well.

Over the years I have enjoyed Totum King for personal workouts, classes, and most recently for physio and massage. As a gym, Totum provides excellent facilities, great change-rooms and a super accessible location. The classes are also always excellent! I greatly enjoyed my massages with Sophie recently, she has an excellent table-side manner, is a great conversationalist and a very effective masseuse. I am also very pleased with my experience with Victoria doing physio. We have developed great routines together for me to do at home and I have had great success treating my issues with dry-needling with her. Overall I would strongly recommend Totum to anyone looking for any of the above services!

Totum is a really amazing facility. The decor is really cool and the equipment and facilities are awesome. The space is immaculate and clean and the staff super friendly. I am currently working with an awesome trainer there and have been getting regular massage treatments with an incredible therapist - I feel like a new person! I would strongly recommend anyone interested to check out Totum.

I have had a wonderful experience working out here. It’s filled with loads of kind staff members, it’s very clean and never over packed which is perfect! Other gym members are incredibly respectful and you can feel totally comfortable working out and taking classes. Great gym and great service if you’re looking for A good boutique gym!

I was referred to Victoria at Totum for muscle aches and spasms in my arm. This has been the best decision i've ever made. She is professional, friendly and my arm has significantly improved after just having 3 treatments. I definitely recommend coming to Totum should you ever need physiotherapy. Thanks Victoria!

I've had an amazing experience. As someone newer to working out, I wanted to get a personal trainer to educate as well as train me. Mylene has been personable and educational giving me a great experience that I'll be able to take forward in my workout journey. I would highly recommend her to both beginners and advanced athletes (she has trained Olympic weightlifting athletes as well!) And Totum is a great environment. Beautiful facilities and a chill and supportive environment.

I have been working with Mylene at Totum for over a month now and it has been an amazing experience. Totum is a great venue and I have enjoyed every second of this entire process. Mylene has helped my recovery and I feel stronger than ever before. I can't recommend Totum and Coco's team enough.

Been working with Victoria for 3 months following a couple knee injuries. Victoria is energetic, friendly and highly knowledgable - definitely recommend!

I have been seeing Victoria for physiotherapy for just over 2 months now and have seen meaningful improvement in my injuries that has exceeded my expectations. She is thorough, precise, patient, adaptable, and attentive. What I love about working with her is how empowered she makes me feel that I can navigate through injuries and actually come out the other side stronger (as opposed to feeling like reoccurring injuries are a failing of my body and I have to adjust my life accordingly). Victoria is great at explaining physiology and body mechanics in a way that makes her recommendations make sense and motivate me to do the work. I feel like I’m always learning about myself and my body which I love. She’s even helped me start running with no pain which I never thought would be possible! Victoria and all the staff I’ve crossed paths with at Totum (like Veronica at reception!) are extremely kind, considerate, and welcoming - it’s truly always a highlight of my day to go there. I’ve recommended Victoria and Totum to everyone I know and if you’re reading this and considering it, you won’t regret going.

Been going here since I moved from Vancouver. The staff is friendly and the environment has great energy. Really like the lighting, because it doesn't feel like you are working in a dungeon. This place is a five minute walk from my home, so if you live around King and Spadina check it out.

Totum is great - I'm always provided with excellent service from staff members as a whole and specifically from my physiotherapist, Victoria. Victoria always goes above and beyond and I can actually feel my condition improving, I'm more flexible, there is less pain, and overall I'm just more comfortable. The location is very convenient as well and I would strongly recommend Totum for anyone!

I can't say enough good things about Victoria, one of the physiotherapists here. She is easily the best physiotherapist I've ever had and I've had a lot.
So smart, so funny, so committed to your recovery - I can't recommend her enough.
I will add that every staff member I've met here, from the front desk staff to the trainers, are wonderful. Very welcoming. I can see why there are so many members.

Victoria has been so helpful in not only helping heal my injury but also by providing valuable insight into other issues regarding body movement and muscle activation to outline areas for improving my strength, preparing my body for sports and preventing future injury. She is very kind and has a warm and friendly personality! She made my first time at Totum a comfortable experience.

I recommend Victoria as a Physiotherapist because she is knowledgeable, confident, personable and She teaches body mechanics and the purpose of exercises/treatments to help you understand the healing process and your body better.

Totum is amazing. I use the gym and clinic there and absolutely love it! The gym is really clean and all the staff are very friendly! Always recommend it.

Moving from Montreal to Toronto, I was concerned about finding a new physiotherapist. Lucky for me, I was referred to Victoria. Never had to look for another physiotherapist. She's excellent! Very attentive, asks all the right questions. My frozen shoulder is now back to normal, and perhaps stronger than before from all the exercises she gave me.

Great and clean facility with first-rate staff. Victoria in particular is an excellent physiotherapist: she provides effective treatment, provides information in an easy-to-understand format, and is very communicative.

I'm so happy I decided to try physio with Victoria! She is extremely knowledgeable, listens to my concerns, and takes the time to explain her approach.

I HIGHLY recommend Victoria for any physio needs. I've been seeing her for an ankle sprain and she is very knowledgeable and takes the time to explain everything. Her approach feels both holistic and personalized to my needs. I actually look forward to my physio appointments:)

Totum's location is also great and the reception staff is always nice.

Coco is a great physiotherapist! She's very engaging which makes you less concerned and puts you at ease during sessions. This was very helpful for a first timer like myself. She recognizes the painful areas right away and gives you modified versions of the exercises. More so she explains the purpose of the exercise and reassures you of the recovery process. Coco rocks! Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a physiotherapist!

Coco Ang has been my physiotherapist for the last several years and I started going to Totum because of her. I've never received better care than from Coco to deal with my chronic lower back pain. Not only is she amazing at providing treatment, but she has the knowledge and expertise to breakdown my symptoms and explain to me what's actually going on. She's very personable and cares a lot for my well being. I would give her 10 stars on here if I could. Couldn't find a better physiotherapist, let alone person, if I tried.

Great physiotherapy practice. I was seen by Victoria Lavinskas who did an exceptional job at working with me to resolve the underlying issue and provided me with a suitable exercise program to address the root causes. I instantly felt better and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a good physio!

Had my Chiropractic initial here for my lower back, and already feel great. I did my research before, and everything was according to my expectations. Thank you, and will be back soon.

I am SO glad I found Victoria for physio at Totum! I was dealing with a frustrating shin split injury and Victoria was beyond helpful. She gave me personalized exercises, helped me with my running form and had fantastic 'return to run' training programs. Victoria listens carefully to your problems, is very flexible with your schedule and truly cares about her clients- I would HIGHLY recommend! Totum is a great studio - so clean, friendly staff and easily accessible!

Would I recommend Coco for Physiotherapy? Absolutely, YES!
I came to Coco as a recommendation from a trusted friend. I’m glad I did! Go to her if you want someone who will partner with you through your healing and cares about your progress!

Here’s my top 4 reasons to work with Coco for your physiotherapy needs:

1. She’s knowledgeable and confident in the care she provides.

2. She teaches body mechanics and the purpose of exercises/treatments to help you understand the healing process and your body better.

3. She's professional, super personable!

4. Her treatment plans are not cookie cutter. She takes the times to learn about your movement patterns, lifestyle, habits and goals so that there is a greater chance for long term recovery.

Thanks Coco!

Starting to attend physiotherapy with Victoria is among the best decisions I have made as a runner. She has a rare mix of expertise in hands-on treatment, injury diagnosis, excellent two-way communication skills and overall incredible energy (even during those 7am appointments I nearly slept through). She went above and beyond athletic treatment by looking for injury triggers in my work environment and considers all possible sources of discomfort that might translate into performance.

I'm so grateful that she took the time to help me understand why I was experiencing pain as it has helped me make necessary changes to get me back on the road. I feel that I am coming out of my injury as a stronger and more durable athlete. Finding her at Totum was a standalone bright spot in 2020!

I would not recommend this gym to any of my friends even if I was paid, the instructors were rude, not friendly, management was dishonest and slow, and they charge an arm and a leg for membership that isn’t worth it. The king location is also super cramped. The plus was that their showers/locker rooms were actually nice minus the fact that you can see your neighbour shower through the glass. Awkward. I am currently paying more for the gym I am at now and I’m so glad I don’t have to deal with this headache of a gym anymore, And I have successfully lost over 40lbs at my current HIIT gym.

Coco Ang was great to work with as I recovered from a broken wrist. Attentive and professional, she would follow up our sessions by emailing a summary of progress and created customized PDFs outlining the relevant exercises for recovery. Our sessions together significantly improved my range-of-motion and strength. She provides outstanding service with a great attitude and I would definitely recommend.

Love the atmosphere and recent renovations that were completed. The gym is great and there are many services including chiro, massage, and nutrition making it an easy one stop for everything.

After dealing with a chronic injury for a couple of years, I ended up with a restricted hip capsule and it became a challenge keeping up my activities as a yoga instructor and lover of dance classes. I was regularly seeing a number of practitioners for my condition, but it was only after being treated by Dr. O'Handley, did I start to see some measurable progress in terms of range of movement in my hip joint, increased strength, and elimination of pain.

I had specifically sought out a practitioner who utilizes progressive chiropractic techniques and I was not disappointed. He pinpointed my specific issue and started me on a program that saw quick results. He also suggested an exercise protocol that was realistic and achievable with my challenging schedule.

What I specifically appreciated with Dr. O'Handley's treatment was that once he saw my progress, he recommended a wind-down schedule of treatment and provided me with enough of a knowledge base to continue the necessary work on my own. I am now back to teaching yoga and taking dance classes without pain and I couldn't be more grateful.

I should also add that the staff at Totum Life Science are fantastic. They have always gone above and beyond to help me in a timely fashion and in light of a constantly changing schedule and need to change appointments. And their automated appointment reminder system has kept me on track.

Waj is a great chiropractor who really helped me eliminate a lot of my lower back pain. Turns out the mckenzie extensions I was doing prior were amplifying the anterior pelvic tilt I already had and contributing to the back pain. A very genuine and empathetic person as well.

I went to Totum for a year. It is a super solid boutique gym. The classes are good (but not cult-like). They have all the equipment you need. The people who train here are here for their health and fitness, and not for their image. The are never too crowded, and they have an amazing staff. Thank you everyone at the front desk and to Jason for the smooth experience!

I worked out here for a few months and the experience was ok until I wanted to cancel. I realized 3 months later they continued to bill me for 4 months after I cancelled and refused to return my money. I would not recommend this gym for this reason.

Very nice facility, front desk staff could use a tune up as their customer service is lacking. But a great place to go if you want a smaller work out environment. Lots of classes available as well!

In a world where hurried classes and $35 spin or yoga classes are the norm, this luxury gym is like a hidden gem of a gym. With a jam-packed schedule of diverse classes, great equipment, and super facilities, it’s a nice place to get in a helluva workout ️‍️ — and also to escape. Only thing I miss is the steam rooms! The infrared sauna is not the same.

Was given a “tour” (which had zero value add and no information) by a weird, anti-social woman named Chelsea who didn’t ask about my needs or anything relevant. She was DISMISSIVE, UNWELCOMING and COLD.
She did not treat me like a human being or that she was there to solve my needs.

Newly renovated change rooms are nice.

The instructor led class schedule is diverse and usually has something for everyone.

5/5 for Krista De Luca. She's a tremendous physiotherapist. She's helped me with multiple sports and lifestyle injuries over the past two years. Krista is very honest and cares a lot about her clients' well being.

I had a herniated disc and couldn't walk, sit up or down or do anything without severe pain. I saw Gavin (chiro), who was recommended to me by my sister.

The assessment was thorough, he asked lots of questions and ran several tests. His findings were the same as my doctor and physical therapist - so I felt confident in his diagnosis and suggestions. He worked with physio's suggestions and gave supplementary spinal exercises that were at a good level with what I was physically able to do. He explained what kind of pain was normal and not normal, which helped relieve my concerns.

It's not the cheapest place but he didn't push me to see him more than necessary after I got better.

Anyway, I'd definitely recommend him. Nice guy too.

Great little boutique gym. The staff and trainers are always so lovely. My favourite physiotherapist Kirsten Jones is the best!

This is a boutique gym in a great location. It’s on 2 streetcar lines. The staff are friendly, class sizes are small, and you don’t have to wait for equipment. There’s a huge wall of windows and the place is open even though it’s smaller than a typical gym.

Staff is really nice and their Chiropractor Wajid and Physiotherapist Kirsten they are amazing and extremely friendly.
