Top 10 LA Fitness Locations in the GTA

Top 10 LA Fitness Locations in the GTA

LA Fitness has become one of the biggest gym chains in the country, and it seems like new locations are popping up all of the time. In terms of chain gyms, LA can easily be considered the Rolls Royce, as they attempt to have bigger, brighter gyms with more amenities than the other chain gyms, with many locations having full basketball courts and Olympic sized pools.

But like all chains, every location is not created equal, so here are the top 10 La Fitness Locations in the GTA.

TORONTO – KEELE

The Junction has a reputation for being a trendy area, and LA Fitness is a perfect match for the area’s residents. It’s a new location, with an indoor pool and full basketball court, to add to the selection of weights and machines that are prevalent at all locations.

The one downside to this location is it’s lack of sauna and whirlpool, which many other locations offer.

AURORA – BAYVIEW AVE

We’re heading a little bit north of Toronto for this one, but the Aurora location is located on Bayview and is just off the 404 at Wellington. This is another of the new clubs, and it’s staff have kept it sparkling and well organized. Similar to the Junction club, this location boasts an indoor pool and basketball court, but adds to it with a racquetball court, sauna and whirlpool.

The obvious drawback of this club is that it is more Toronto adjacent than it is Toronto.

DON MILLS
Located on Don Mills between York mills and Lawrence and not far off of the junction of the 401 and 404, this is an extremely convenient location for anyone working or living in the southern end of North York. Another location that boasts both an indoor pool and a sauna, this location also offers squash. Members marvel at the cleanliness of this location and insist that the staff is top notch.

MISSISSAUGA – DIXIE RD
Located in Mississauga at the corner of Dixie and Dundas, this large and pretty new facility has what seems to be pretty standard for these LA Fitness locations, the Indoor Pool and Basketball court. And according to users, it’s an incredibly clean and well run location.

MISSISSAUGA-HURONTARIO/EGLINTONHIGHEST RATED
Another Mississauga club that seems to have struck a chord with it’s patrons, who describe a well-equipped and incredibly clean facility, offering an indoor pool and basketball, but lacks the whirl pool and sauna that a lot of other locations offer, not to mention free wifi. A lot of this clubs members seem to really enjoy the Zumba and Yoga classes/

SCARBOROUGH
Scarborough offers up an LA Fitness packed with amenities including the indoor pool, basketball court and squash on the fitness side, and a sauna and whirlpool on the “pamper yourself” side of things. This location also includes a Juice Bar. Members most often offer up compliments based on the locations size and the wealth of equipment available at any given time, and seem to hold a high regard for the staff.

VAUGHAN LOWEST RATED
This is my own personal location and its Vaughn’s entry for our list. As a member I feel that the location has some Pros and Cons like every club. On the plus side they just did a major renovation, the natural lighting on the second floor is terrific. The change rooms and showers need an overhaul. It is a popular and busy club so it’s a challenge to keep up the maintenance. It comes with all the bells and whistles you should expect from the average LA Fitness, with an indoor pool, basketball court, sauna and whirlpool. This particular location includes a Juice Bar run by Rainbow Tree Café. Members love the spacing of equipment and the women’s only area that is perfectly placed.

OSHAWA – RITSON RD
We may be straying out of the Toronto Range a little bit on this one, but the Members at the Oshawa location are in love with their club’s bright work out area flooded with natural light, despite the occasional issue with heating and cooling. You’ll find the usual amenities like the indoor pool and the basketball court, along with the sauna and the whirlpool.

EAST GWILLIMBURY
The name may say East Gwillimbury, but this is essentially the Newmarket Location. It’s just off Green Lane which is a quick trip to either the 400 or the 401. The basketball court is there, as is the indoor pool along with the standard Sauna and whirlpool. Members rave about these amenities and claim that this location has a lot of quality equipment that is well maintained.

  1. As a former GoodLife Fitness user I was tired and fed up with their poor services, high prices, and unprofessional staff. I switched to LA Fitness and never looked back.

    As a frequent user at the Kennedy Commons (William Kitchen Road) location, I was impressed by the facility and management. Also, I had the pleasure of working out with two phenomenal trainers, the likes I was hard pressed to find at GoodLife. It’s really one of the best managed commercial gyms in the region, and hats off to them and their team.

    Overall, a stellar facility, one that I highly recommend to anyone in the region
