The Northwood Choice - Given the severity and therefore likelihood of many "detours" and "uphill efforts" to nurture my "road to recovery", I required a facility that employed staff with multiple capabilities - the exceptional instruction of training/fitness, deep knowledge of physiology and motivational skills.
After considerable due diligence of fitness facilities in North Toronto (where I reside) and the Collingwood/Simcoe region, I determined that the Northwood Club would best meet my needs. Once you're a member, our certified trainers will assess your abilities, help define your goals and develop a personalized training program.

I am writing this on a very chilly afternoon in January in support of Peter Stevens and Luke McMillan, owners of The Northwood Club in downtown Collingwood, a few years ago, when Jane and I were walking down our Main Street and we paused in front of The Northwood Club. Jane tells me that she had decided to check it out. Lo and Behold, we both went in and signed up. I was 78 and weighed about 215lbs, a tad overweight with a bit of a Beer Gut. But, riding my bike, playing tennis, skiing, I thought I was in reasonable shape. I went full bore and added a trainer, now almost seven years later, I am

I'm 71 years old and have belonged to numerous gyms within the GTA and, find that Northwood is by far the best. The trainers are excellent, the equipment updated, it's spotlessly clean. But most of all I feel that they as a group they care about my fitness and provide input when they see me doing things that they think I can improve on. I highly recommend The Northwood Club.

It is a 2-story facility, which has a history. It was once the Shoppers Drug Mart. The owners are from Toronto and previous owners of a club in Toronto.
It is a beautiful club, and it is not too big.
The upper level has an almost private feel to it, as well as a room where classes are offered.
New equipment, and the gym also offers classes.
Covid-19 protocols, everyone is to take a temperature reading upon entering and complete a covid screening form.
The staff is great and are also professionals.

Great gym. Very clean. Equipment is well maintained with a large variety of free weights. Memberships are relatively expensive in comparison to other gyms, however none of the other gyms in the area can compare to the Northwood club. I'm speaking from experience as I recently cancelled my membership and renewed it within a week after trying every other gym in the area with the intention of saving some money only to find out that there really is no competition. To compare the Northwood club to the YMCA or Anytime fitness doesn't seem right, doing so feels almost like I'm picking on a handicapped

Gym space is nice. It's a small boutique gym, and the equipment is sufficient. The interior is interesting compared to regular gyms.
The service is a little shotty however. I was in town for a week, and went to the gym 4 times.
2 of the 4 times I had an issue with some staff member. I honestly even suspected at one point it might even be a race issue because of how absurd the entire process was (which i'm still on the fence about).
Needless to say, I think this is a nice boutique gym, but next time i'm in town for a week, i'll be working out at another gym.

Northwood Club is great! I like the fact that there is early morning classes to get you started for the day! I have been taking Pilates with Anna for over ten years and she is an exceptional instructor who ensures that you are completing the exercises correctly so you get the most out of them. Anna’s sunrise cardio is a great class as well and everyone in the class is well on their way to being able to perform at the rockets in New York!! See you at the gym!!! Merry Christmas

Very bad experience. Called and booked ahead of time for class which was confirmed. Came from one hour out of town to be put on phone with Pilates instructor and be told she was not coming in. While staff reserved spot the instructor said 24 hour notice was required. Very unprofessional and made clear one person class was not worth her time
