West End Athletic Club

On November 3rd I went to Friday Night Fights to support a close friend.
This venue is aesthetically unique, well-lit, and rather clean. It brought great crowd.
I had trouble finding my seat as I do wish they had a seating chart to help. The staff could’ve been more helpful with this.
I’m sure this is a great training facility but I can only speak of the point of view as a spectator.

I have been a member of West End for the past year and I absolutely love it! The facility is exceptionally clean and the staff are amazing. I wasn’t sure how I would feel about joining a boxing gym without prior experience, but I was made to feel so comfortable and welcomed from day 1! The owner Silvia is the kindest person! Loving boxing and loving this gym! 10+

I've loved working out here for the past few months. It's exceptionally clean and all the instructors and regulars are very friendly.

The classes are the right amount of challenging without being intimidating.

Whether you are a beginner or more experienced, you'll fit right in to the community and find the right class for you.

Just wanted to give a special shout out to Miguel for teaching an amazing Strength and Conditioning class. He cares about his students and pays attention to make sure exercises are done correctly. He is very encouraging towards his students and shows great passion for teaching. He will never let you down. Thank you for caring about our health Miguel!

I’m taking my level one boxing course here. The gym is excellent. Equipment is top notch. Owner and staff are friendly. You have to see this gym to believe it. Posters of all the greats everywhere - special shoutout to George Chuvalo! First gym I’ve been in where 1. The speed bags have air in them. 2. Nobody gets upset with you if you make some noise hitting them. Cleto Reyes gear everywhere!
I’m joining this gym! You should too!

Beautiful gym. Started boxing here a year and a half ago and still going. Coaches are amazing and everyone is respectful and up-lifting.

My experience at the Westend Athletic Club is beyond words. The gym is huge and well maintained. Staff and trainers are very kind and extremely knowledgeable. Workouts are great. Would highly recommend.

I have been a member since 2019 and can’t say enough good things. Facility is amazing. Coaches and members are friendly. Very family oriented. I credit West End for my journey back to fitness!

I had never boxed before coming to West End AC. The coaches transitioned me into the classes despite not having any experience. Best decision I’ve made. My fitness journey is now well underway thanks to the meticulous care of the coaching staff. I supplement my group class training by working out solo during the open gym sessions. West End has their own branded app also where I can easily see their class and open gym schedule. If you’ve always wanted to box for fitness this is the place!

Friendly staff, experienced trainers and the cleanest gym I’ve ever been to. I was a bit intimidated to come to the gym but my worries were put to ease once I started working out here. This is a totally inclusive environment! Highly recommend!

With experienced, helpful coaches and amazing facilities, West End is a great place to learn boxing and get into shape. The equipment is top notch and there are numerous classes to choose from. They will help you reach your goals, whether it is in fitness, fighting or both. Highly recommend!

Clean environment, top-notch equipment, competent and knowledgeable instructors who are also humble and friendly…. I would definitely recommend this place if you need to practice your techniques or improve your skillset, to both beginners and advanced boxers. It’s also the perfect place if you need to get fit, as there are a lot of conditiong classes and state of the art fitness equipment.

State of the art equipment, immaculate facilities, knowledgeable and super friendly staff. Boxing, cardio and weights offered in classes or independent sessions.

West end is my place to go! I’ve never been to a better facility ever. Top notch staff and coaches. Would recommend this to anyone looking to get into training and boxing!

The staff here are super polite you feel welcomed and comfortable. Super clean, fun classes. Amazing equipment for weight training. Highly recommend! 10/10

My favourite gym in the GTA! All of the coaches and staff are so friendly and knowledgeable. The gym has a fantastic atmosphere and the all equipment is the highest quality. I love taking the classes during the week, a great workout and the trainers really take the time to get to know you and your goals. Love the west end fam!

Right from the moment you sign up, West End Athletic Club offers a warm and welcoming environment. Everyone working there (and Other members) are very nice, big space, clean facilities, and nice equipment. I myself havent been boxing very long, and never once felt intimidated, as all levels of boxers are welcome. I took the technical boxing classes with Tommy, and would leave each class feeling more confident in my technique. Very thankful to West End for their hospitality, and their willingness to educate others.

Lovely gym with great facilities. Good choice of equipment to choose from, whether it be cardio or weight lifting. Boxing equipment is top class, many bags, lot's of space. Trainers, Managers and staff are all super friendly giving a warm and welcoming environment.

Small and beautifully laid out facility with 1st class amenities, atmosphere and staff. My son had the good fortune of receiving boxing instruction from coach Remo DiCarlo, former Canadian boxing champion. Coach DiCarlo is tremendously patient with his students and does a great job in helping them build their skills and confidence. Thank you West End - we are most grateful!

Missing the gym tremendously, can’t wait till you reopen. I absolutely love the boutique style, great staff and welcoming atmosphere. Can’t say enough good things about West End Athletic club!

I love going to West End Gym, the staff is friendly and the trainers are very knowledgeable. The gym is clean and and well kept. I miss not being able to workout and cannot wait to get back! I highly recommend West End Gym, the staff make you feel like family!

West End is the best gym I’ve belonged to. The staff are really helpful and the environment there is very non judgemental regardless of experience. It’s a comfortable, clean atmosphere and I always look forward to working out. Their classes are amazing and so are their amenities. Can’t wait for them to reopen!

Love this place! Amazing classes and amazing coaches. They all make you feel like one big family. By far the best boxing facility in the city!

The staff were really rude and disrespectful they kicked me out for falling off the tread mill, and after that they were verbally harassing me for no reason at all. When I never said anything to hurt or offend them in the first place. This overpriced gym is good to attend to if you want to be treated like a piece of garbage. I thank God for showing me the true colors of that sick individual who was harassing me before taking my money. I hope that one day he realizes his faults and humbles himself.

You’re not going to find a better place to learn boxing, train, and meet great people. Everyone from the ownership down, the trainers, and the other members. Second to none! Not to mention the beautiful work out facility!

Hey Everyone. We have been approved by the Government of Ontario and Boxing Ontario to open our doors to SAFELY RETURN TO TRAIN. We are ready for you to return to the gym. We have a 24 point SAFETY PROTOCOL in place! Can't wait to see you very soon! Email [email protected] for details!

I attended my first ever boxing class about a month ago and have been addicted ever since!
I find that West End offers a variety of classes, as well they have a large section of workout equipment (machines, rigs, platforms etc) that allow me to achieve some of the best workouts I have had in a very long time.
Beyond this the facility itself is 5 star, clean and complete with high end finishes including saunas, espresso and smoothie bar.
What I truly enjoy the most about any gym is the environment. At West End I find the coaches and other members super friendly & motivating.as a boxing newbie from my first day other members and coaches have taken time to teach me techniques to help build my skills.theres a strong sense of community here and that’s one of my favourite parts of West End Athletic Club.

Keep it up & see you all soon!

I avoided exercising at a gym for a long time because I struggle with social anxiety. I finally got the courage to visit West End after passing by their posters so many times. I was definitely nervous at first because I don't do well in large crowds and didn't know anything about boxing but I have absolutely no regrets. I've learned a lot about proper form and boxing techniques. The class sizes are smaller too which is great. The people here will make you feel like part of the family as soon as you step in. This is exactly what West End is.a family. I've only been a member for 3 months and the coaches and members have made me feel like I belong here. That feeling is what makes me come back for another class tomorrow.

West End offers top notch facilities and fantastic coaches that challenge you in their classes and help you achieve your personal goals. Overall fun environment and no-judgement zone that makes you feel like you’re part of the family. Awesome Community culture!
Without a doubt one of the best fitness facilities in the area.

If you're looking for something different and not the usual GoodLife scenario where you're part of the masses and never feel at home, you should visit WestEnd. Make the change and try an Athletic Club that will provide you with; the cleanest gym you've ever encountered, brand new equipment, incredible classes, zero overcrowding, family environment (you'll have a new friend by the end of your first workout) and the best part for me personally - the ability to learn how to become a Boxer if you choose, from some of the best in the business! Can't say enough about this place. Check it out!

West End is he best gym I have been to. I was looking to learn how to box without taking a "boxersise" class. I really want to learn technical skills and eventually fight. West End offers amazing classes and the coaches are really great. It's like a big family:) <3

By far the best gym I have ever been to. The coaches are knowledgable, friendly, and motivating. As soon as you walk through the door, you feel like part of the family. This is the only gym that's inspired me to commit to living a healthy lifestyle. All members are so friendly and welcoming, and never make you feel intimidated or like a newbie. The classes are AMAZING and perfect for all fitness levels. 10/10 would recommend to all family and friends. Who knew a gym could be so much fun!

This is hands down the best gym I have ever been to and I have tried everything from Crossfit, f45, orange theory and Goodlife. The classes are great, you get a killer workout and you have fun at the same time so you don't even notice how quickly the time passes. The gym atmosphere is not intimidating at all, everyone is so welcoming and anyone at any level of fitness can thrive at this gym. Lastly, the coaches are AMAZING! I even had my birthday party here where I did a boxing class for a few of my friends, and Tommy, one of the awesome coaches, came in on his day off to run the class and he did a fantastic job. If you are committed to your health and really want to be surrounded by staff and members who care, this is the place to be!

Fantastic experience, very nice staff. You can have a full workout by your self, or join the scheduled classes.

Highly recommend

I was so impressed the first time I popped by the gym - it feels like it's straight out of a movie. As soon as you enter the door to the gym itself, you see the full-size ring right in front of you, with windows on the other side shining rays of sun right on it. On the right side of the ring, you have a full row of boxing bags, all brand new and well-maintained. On the left side, you have a full set of weights, squat racks, and cardio equipment. The walls are lined with framed posters and posters of pro and amateur fights, and many autographed. Everything meticulously well-maintained, cleaned, and organized.

The owners themselves are extremely friendly, welcoming, and they are walking encyclopedias of boxing. My first session was with Remo DiCarlo, who was a Canadian lightweight boxing champ in the 80s and sported an impressive fight record. While my background is primarily in Muay Thai, he was able to work with my habits and adjust them accordingly. During my pad session one of the managers of the gym, Vinny, spotted my gloves being loose and was super quick and seamless to assist while doing pad work with Remo.

Very few gyms are as good as they look. I also took my fiancee here, who is pretty picky about her gyms and she was also thoroughly impressed.

If you're in the area, look no further - hit up West End Athletic Club!

This is the best gym I've ever joined. It's spacious, bright, clean, has all the equipment you need with nice, friendly people. I like the boxing classes the most. I encourage everybody to give it a try. And don't worry, nobody beats anybody up!

Amazing place. Beautiful facility. Very friendly staff. The coaches there all know what they are talking about and will take extra time to train you. Strongly recommend if you are looking to get in shape or learn how to box

The West End athletic club is an incredible gym with some of the best trainers and gym operators around. If you want to become the healthiest version of yourself there is no better place than West End. The classes are killer and regardless of your level of experience the trainers will create plans and routines that are optimal for each individual.

6 Star WORLD CLASS facility. Clean, chic, brightly lit, well equipped, great customer service.

CLEAN and ORGANIZED. This is very important to me. The place is new, but the materials and finishing is or high quality so, that will ensure things last and stay clean. Cleanliness puts me at peace, so I feel really relaxed and inspired training here. The layout of everything from the big windows at the back of the gym, the sauna, locker lay out and training equipment is all thoughtfully planned and laid out.

VERY WELL EQUIPPED. I joined here for the boxing, but also come to weight train which I used to do 6 days a week at another gym, but Westend has enough equipment that I prefer to be here to get a training session in, run on the treadmill, relax in the sauna. This place has all a boxing athlete needs.

FRIENDLY STAFF and MEMBERS. From my first interaction with Lucy, then Vinny and Michael I felt very welcome and accommodated at Westend. All members are friendly, polite and respectful of each other and the facility. There is gym ettiequte among the members. No boorish and obnoxious behaviour. This is the type of local facility I was looking for.

CHIC and GORGEOUS. From the heavy elegant front doors, the beautiful front foyer, lacquered wood trims, identically framed boxing posters and beautiful exposed brick Westend exuberates class. As a boxing fan, I’m always starring at the posters around the gym in awe.

Much respect to the owners. They should be proud of this facility. They took the long vision on building this facility. Everything is thought out, no expense spared on details.

Update: The team called me back the next day to apologize and have been proactive at trying to make up for it - we’ll be going back to try them again.

All the doors were locked when we arrived for our class, even though today’s drop in class was open for registration and payment online. We signed up and paid online last night. Looks like they closed today and didn’t bother to mark their classes canceled. Super disappointing, as we were excited to try their beginner boxing class.: (

The staff are all knowledgable and classes can really work you out. The facility and equipment is all brand new.

Great facility. Great equipment. Great owners. Great trainers and coaches. Great members. Clean. Fun and getting great results!

I have never been to a boxing class before and didn't know what to expect. West End Athletic Club beat my expectations and then some.

The facility is clean, fresh, and bright and the staff are some of the nicest people I've ever met. I was the newbie in a class of more experienced boxers but there was such a collaborative and encouraging culture that I felt at home. Such a positive, amazing experience. Definitely recommend.

Absolutely amazing place! Clean, bright, kept up, great people, amazing coaches. Overall AAA! They have put a lot of detail into this place, they don’t skimp on anything. If you love working out in a nice environment, with coaches that care, with top of the line equipment and coaches this is the place. It’s worth it!

This place is without a doubt the cleanest, most comfortable gym to be a member of. The staff is friendly and so willing to teach and help, from the owner Silvia, through to coach Vinny and the rest of the staff you will leave there feeling good about yourself and knowing you got a good workout in. The weekly classes are amazing, whether it's Natasha's classes or Tommy's, all great! What can I say, it's such a great place that my 78 year old father started going 3 times per week. Congrats and thank you to Silvia for opening and running such a wonderful gym.
