I hadn't done any weight training before I found 646 Weightlifting. When I did step through the doors, I discovered not only a gym, but an excellent coach who is dedicated to the success of his athletes and a motivated, encouraging community that likes to work hard and have fun. I would highly recommend 646 Weightlifting to both seasoned athletes and beginnners alike.

This gym is fantastic! I have belonged to several expensive “executive” gyms downtown and this is a completely different and much better experience for several reasons. 1)Olympic lifting and powerlifting are technical exercises and the programs and people are exceptionally thoughtful in their approach. (This is not a “bro gym”). 2)building off the previous point, joint mobility and effective movement is at the forefront of the workouts and I have a much more holistic approach to my training than I have ever had before 3) the gym is very personal and the staff and other members were extremely

Paul is an excellent coach, I have some experience but within a couple sessions he was able to clean up my technique quickly and found a ton of value in his programming especially for the cost. As a coach in athletics I highly recommend Paul as a coach due to his knowledge, experience, and atmosphere he provides in his gym

Great gym with great coaching. The space itself is well organized and clean. The coaches are friendly, informative and ready to help you succeed. The members are welcoming and warm too. Great equipment to use and to progress in your weightlifting journey. The variety of classes and scheduling helps you focus on both strength and conditioning. I would highly recommend this gym for weightlifting and beyond!

The equipment and facilities are high quality. It's actually really nice to be able to train with Eleiko bars and plates. It is also nice that they play old weightlifting videos on their T.V as you train.
The only issue I had were open gym hours and the staff. It is definitely not worth your money to sign up for only gym hours which have a small time period for you to workout.
The owner is not the warmest person to be around and doesn't seem to take much ownership with the gym. Even when signing up I didnt feel very welcome, no tour, no going over rules. I felt like more of a burden maybe because

One of the few dedicated Olympic weightlifting gyms in Toronto! Great equipment, great coaching and a fantastic facility for those that want to improve their athletic performance. Supportive and fun community will keep you motivated through your training!
If Olympic weightlifting isn't your thing, they also offer boot camp classes and strength and conditioning classes.
Bonus: shower on site if you need to train before work! :)
