Hone Fitness Carlaw Avenue

What you see is what you get. This is a no bells and whistles gym with a great space, decent equipment, and a very reasonable rate. Now, don't expect fully stocked bathrooms or towel service, but do expect an open space with solid equipment, great areas to stretch, and why not grab a tan (no surcharge) during the colder months. Mornings are pretty quiet. I never have to wait for anything. I'll update on evenings and weekends once I get there. The crowd is very inclusive, non intimidating for newbies, with body types of every kind and skin tones in every shade. It's a very welcoming environment. Get it!

Update April 2025: I originally started here paying $20 a month, now for the same membership it's $26 biweekly ($52 a month). A whooping 230% increase since I started. Think this is my record holder for highest increase over the year for my bills, it would be alright if the gym improved with the higher price, but it only gotten worse. For example, there will be machines broken for multiple months. How is the leg press and multiple treadmills broken for that long. I've also noticed that there is minimal or no more cleaning down in the gym, especially in the change room. There was cleaning staff years ago, but now sometimes the staff will use a swifter duster to clean dust once in a blue moon. The tiles by the urinal in the men's washroom has been crusted with piss for probably a year now. There has been a pair of black slippers that smells like shit in a locker, like how has no worker thrown it out. It's literally been there for months. I might as well start a storage business in the change room. Sometimes the change room smells like a mix of vinegar and the worst shit of your life. I think the gym can improve a lot if the staff cleaned during their shift when they leave the front desk instead of going to workout. However, I don't think it's the employees fault, if I had to guess it's management or the owner. There always used to be at least two people working at the gym, now it's only one most of the time. Original Review (2018): What I do like: - It was $20 a month - Has a good range of equipment What I don't like: Not sure what they pay the staff to do here. There’s only one guy who always says hi and bye to me, but the rest just chill at the front counter. Why have so many staff if they’re not cleaning up The people who work out here can’t seem to wrap their head around the fact that the dumbbells have specific spots for each weight. There are even people who leave their weights on the barbell after finishing their workout. This is not the staffs’ fault, but this greatly affects my rating. Men’s washroom smells like a mild crap every time. Not sure what’s going on in there, maybe not enough ventilation. The water pressure in the fountain downstairs can barely fill my bottle. Also, it's not $30 a month starting Jan 2019. Not sure if they are getting rid of their fees or anything.

I've been going to this gym for a bit now, and honestly, it's awesome! The staff is super friendly, the gym is huge and really bright, which makes it way more fun to work out. They've got all kinds of machines for whatever you're into, whether it's lifting, cardio, or just getting a good workout in. Plus, they've got tanning beds, so you can get that summer glow all year round. Definitely recommend:)

Reasonably priced and well kitted out gym. Some of the equipment is old or broken, which they should definitely address as soon as possible, there doesn't need to be 5 different leg curl machines, one or two is enough. It's also not the cleanest gym, especially in the winter with all the floors being dirty.

Solid gym, very helpful and kind front staff but very unhelpful administrators and disorganized membership management. I’ve had past problems with multiple accounts under my name and after signing up for a 500$ trainer package, the trainer left and rather than refund me they only offered credit which is unacceptable I’ve asked them to cancel my membership multiple times and they keep charging me. I’ve provided name, nickname etc and CC info and they claim to not be able to find my account.
