I have been a HINGE member for 10 years. The gym and the community have been there with me through good and bad times. My hour at the gym is always the best hour of my day. My work takes me across the country and I get the chance to visit many gyms, but never get my ass kicked the way I do when I come home.

Chris does a fantastic job with setting the training. If you are a beginner or experienced all can take part. It is a fantastic supportive community that helps push each other to do their best. I have been a member 6 years and wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Since joining HINGE back in 2013 I've never had to step foot into any other gym. I finally found something that "worked" for me. Over the years I have become the strongest version of myself both physically and mentally by just simply showing up consistently. Chris puts so much energy and intention into the programming at HINGE that it truly makes every workout "count". Training at HINGE has changed my life, I couldn't imagine being surrounded by a better community of people.

“I’ve been to many gyms and paid lots of initiation fees only to quit a month or three later. This gym I’ve been at for 5 plus years. The combination of people and coaches keeps me coming daily. I am very very lucky to have found Chris and HINGE in my life as I didn’t know what was missing until I found it. Made many friends and will be there for years to come as it’s part of my family’s life now “

This is a training facility unlike any other. You don't just come here to "work out." You come here to test yourself physically and mentally. My accomplishments at HINGE go far beyond meeting any of my fitness goals. It's the confidence I've gained, and time after time proving my resilience. It's incredible how one hour at the gym translates to your everyday mindset. And while you're leaving your all on the gym floor, Chris is there beside you. He devotes everything to his gym and to his members. With 20+ years of experience, his coaching and programming are on another level. He knows how to get the best out of every person that walks through his door, and puts great care into what he does. Five years I've called HINGE my home, and I will continue to do so for many more.

HINGE is an inclusive community that fosters strength and growth. Chris is a dynamic coach who pays close attention to his athletes and pushes each individual to reach their full potential/their goals. If you're looking to get stronger, HINGE is the place for you!"

I moved to this city a couple years ago, and wanting to find a new training facility, I asked around. HINGE was the overwhelming favourite, recommended to me over and over again! So, I met Chris and completed the onboarding, and in my thirties, I'm in the best shape I've ever been! From the unmatchable coaching, to the positive support and sense of community from the members, it is by far the best training environment I've ever been a part of. Each class challenges you both physically and mentally, but I wouldn't have it any other way. This place is life changing!

I love being able to train with people of all ages and fitness abilities. As someone who's always been very un-athletic, it's inspiring to get to train with people in way better shape than me, yet I've never once felt judged or discouraged for being less fit then the rest of the group. The coaches are so encouraging and great to help me modify the workouts to what I can do! I've tried other gyms before but I've never had such sweaty and good quality workouts on my own before and I've never felt stronger in my life!

This is a fantastic gym!! All the coaches are great and take an interest in you no matter what fitness level you're at. I really like how they give me tips and tricks to get the most out of every training session. It's like having a personal trainer every class. I look forward to walking through those doors and always feel amazing when I leave. I would definitely recommend!

Hinge is the best gym out there! I joined almost 7 years ago when I decided I wanted to be a firefighter, and I've never looked back! The amazing programming and coaching helped me achieve that goal! This place is more than just a gym.it will literally change your life!!

I have been a part of the HINGE family since 2012 and from day one I found the unique and diverse programing balanced strength and conditioning in a way that exceeded my expectations and fitness goals. Chris and all the coaches have built a culture that promotes commitment and community for any fitness levels.

Hard work, determination, and focus are drilled into us at HINGE. This gym is not only my stress relief, but a gym full of people who support one another like a family.

You always have a lot of options when you are trying to pick a gym or a fitness program however HINGE is different. This is the one place where I feel the coaches have a personal stake in your development. Even the programs they design and facilitate are geared towards anyone looking to perform at their own highest level. I have had no regrets joining HINGE and every work out leaves you hungry for more.

HINGE is hands down the best gym experience. An all-inclusive and supportive environment with the most up to date training and programming. The staff is dedicated and committed to your progress and development.

I started at HINGE in the summer of 2020. Although I had some previous CrossFit background, I didn’t truly realize what it meant to train. When you enter the doors at HINGE you aren’t simply coming in for a workout, you are TRAINING and from this training I have developed a passion for kettlebells. My new favourite movement is the turkish get up. When I started this movement I could barely get a 12kg bell in the air and now I am on my way to getting a 32kg bell up! HINGE is not just a gym. It’s an attitude, a mentality. It’s a community of athletes and coaches who challenge you, and personally for me, helped me accomplish fitness goals I didn’t even know were possible. I have never felt stronger!

HINGE changed my life completely, I never knew my true strength and endurance potential until I started at HINGE! Truly changed my idea of how to approach fitness”.

I come from more of a sports background and have never got much out of going to the gym. HINGE has completely changed my mindset about ‘working out.’ This is not just a gym, it’s a team. I am very new to weight training and have had nothing but support from coaches and fellow HINGE members to train safely and push myself through each and every session. Small class sizes, booking classes, in advance and the feedback from coaches keep me accountable and motivated. There is no mindlessly going through the paces at HINGE, it’s is about setting goals, training to be stronger, and pushing yourself to the limits.

Simple and to the point. Best team of experienced coaches. Best equipment, and tons of it. Best gym space and layout. Best programming by far. Best gym experience I've ever been to. Do your research when choosing a gym in the Kawartha's. HINGE members are spoiled.

I joined HINGE in the summer of 2020. Since then Chris and the rest of the coaching staff have helped me break through plateau's on all of my lifts. This increase in strength and the camaraderie within the gym has kept me coming back every week.

At HINGE all I have to do is show up and buy in. One of the best things about HINGE is you always know you are going to get an above average training session in the hour you are there. Although we're in a class, the coaches are constantly walking the gym giving feedback and cues to get YOU to the next level. The community Chris has built is incredible, from young athletes to retirees, we are all prioritizing our physical and mental health. In the last two years I have seen great results from the strategic programming at HINGE that I wasn't getting as a semi-private personal training client elsewhere.

I've been a member for 9+ years. Great coaching here. Chris knows how fast I can go, and how much I can lift better than I do. If you want measurable results in your fitness, this is the place to be.
