I am a physical therapist working in the state of Michigan and I have been training at FIT 1 for almost five years. My wife discovered it and told me how much she loved it and now I feel the same way. I am really impressed with owner Len Benoit’s approach to “boot camp” style training. For those that may be interested in joining, I have summarized below the reasons why I think FIT 1 is a great choice for your fitness needs.THE FACILITYFIT 1 has one of the best functional training facility that I have ever seen. It is well equipped with a wide variety of equipment in multiples to easily accommodate even large classes of 20 or more. It is always clean and everything is always in perfect working order which is also testament to the relative simplicity of its equipment. The floor space is large, the ceiling is high and the space has an uncrowded and airy feel.THE TRAINING APPROACHFIT 1 training is based on some basic principles:Variety: work outs are really various which keeps them from getting boring and repetitiveOrganization: all workouts are well described and communicated. All workouts include both warm-up and warm down phases.Progressive challenge: exercises are broken down into beginner, intermediate and advanced versions, depending on an individual's fitness levelSafety - exercises are taught with emphasis on technique. Once technique is mastered, intensity is slowly ramped up. Workouts are intense, but the goal is not to wreck you.Comprehensive total fitness - there are few activities that can really claim to be a total approach to fitness . If you are going to FIT1 three times per week, you really don’t need to do anything else. All body parts are targeted: legs, arms, core and mind. Heart rate is kept at a moderate to high level throughout, so there is always a cardiovascular fitness element at play.THE OWNERCoaching - Len Benoit brings a serious yet low key approach to training. Everyone gets individualized help and advice. He does not run his boot camp like a gulag, but he expects you to work hard and do your best. He plays music. He tries to keep it fun.The Vibe - there is a social aspect to the club. It is not just a place where people work out, it is a place where friends meet, where people get to know each other. There are fundraising efforts, group events like doing the Tough Mudder team run, and even a few parties. Participation in these extracurricular aspects is optional.Inclusivity - members range widely in ability and commitment and Len caters to them all.I recommend FIT 1 for anyone that wants to try something new and rewarding. Taking your fitness goals to the next level sometimes requires a new environment, a new approach, a new coach. It all comes down to hard work, but give yourself the best chance to succeed. More...

I started at Fit 1 Bootcamp about a year and a half ago and cannot say enough good things about my experience there. Len is a great instructor who cares about the well being and fitness of each member. When I became pregnant last February, Len helped me navigate my journey every step of the way, allowing me to continue working out for most of my pregnancy. I feel that this definitely contributed to me being back in the gym at 7 weeks post-birth and back to loving my time at Fit 1. Thanks Len! More...

Len is fantastic! My experience here was nothing but positive. I hit all my fitness goals and continued to work on them even during my pregnancy. In my last trimester Len would alter my workouts to allow me to still participate in the classes safely! Wish when I had moved out of the city I could of taken this gym with me! More...

I've been to many bootcamps but Fit 1 was the most personalized group training I have ever done. Len brings elements from many different disciplines of physical and mental fitness into the workouts and assessments. He can figure out very quickly what you need, so you can follow him blindly, or like me you can do your own concurrent research and realize how knowledgeable Len is on the scientific theories that connect mind, body and the environment. I'm very thankful to him for creating such excellent programs for us. >>> Totally winning at getting fitter with his support each day! More...

One of the best fitness routines that are available for kids! It is actual a cross fit for children. The kids sweat, their muscles hurt and me as a parent can see the difference at my child's appearance, confidence and strength. Price wise is pretty good compared to the market as it offers a program three times a week. Bonus: the program does not stop at summer time like most extra curricular activities! So the kids keep on being healthy and active during the summer months as well! Thank you Len! More...

I have been to a few boot camps and Fit1 stands superior. Len’s workouts are sick!! He has a move for every animal and almost every country. From scorpion turn to bear crawl to “Turkish get-up” which all have instant impact on your body. Throughout the workouts I often debate why am I doing this to myself, but keep returning on a weekly basis. Len, the trainer is super attentive to all in the class regardless of the fitness level, shape or size. More...

Shortly after I took early retirement, I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis. I suppose, genetically, it was "in the cards" but this was not good news and not good timing. I had already been dealing with neck and upper back problems most of my life due to a bad fall when I was 19 years old. I love to ski and wanted to continue plus I wanted to enjoy every day without joint pain. I began to work out with Len. We worked on developing muscle in my upper back as well as my core and, in the process, I lost 35 pounds. My joints thanked me! I also received excellent nutritional guidance that has greatly reduced the inflammation in my body. I am stronger, more mobile and flexible than I have been in years. This gym offers a wonderful supportive atmosphere where Len will lead you through an interesting mix of exercises that will challenge every muscle. To anyone trying to decide whether they should join Fit 1, I would tell you that it's never too late to get moving and get that body that will take you places you didn't think you could go. Refuse to just accept! More...

I came to "Fit 1 Bootcamp" having spent a large amount of time training on my own. Up until that point, I had achieved solid results, but was looking to take my fitness to a new level. Len changed the game completely. He challenges all of his clients to perform at their very best, providing a tremendous amount of personal attention and support. His workouts are always unique and fun. There's a real feeling of family at "Fit 1 Bootcamp" and I'm grateful for all the new friends I've made.If you're considering joining, I highly recommend coming in on a Saturday morning for "Karma Bootcamp". It's a fantastic workout, all proceeds go to charity and it gives a solid introduction to Len's style. All I can say is, there's no better way to get fit. Hands down, the BEST place to train in Toronto. More...

Fit 1 Boot Camp and personal trainer Len Benoit are the real deal. I’ve tried other boot camps in the past, but felt they were too rigid for me and also that the instructor was unable to give me individual attention or instruction during the workouts. Fit 1 is different – it’s challenging, fun and Len makes sure to give everyone in the group attention, encouragement and help. Just when you think - I CANNOT DO. ONE MORE PUSH-UP! There’s Len, appearing behind you like magic, guiding and encouraging you on. And miraculously you find you are able to do another push up. In fact you might be able to DO quite a few more push-ups. The classes have a diverse group of people (men, women, older, younger, etc) at varied levels of fitness. There is a place for everyone in this class. I felt comfortable from day one, because Len has created a great atmosphere and workout experience for all. I’ve been at FIT 1 for just under three months and can already see the positive changes in my body and energy levels. My body has changed, grown stronger, and my clothes fit better. I feel so lucky to have such a fantastic workout place right in my neighbourhood. More...
