Fit 1 Bootcamp

So, in a nutshell I would never work-out and was a couch potato. My life was somewhat sedentary. Tried going to the gym, and a personal trainer but of course like all others, got greatly ripped off and fully stopped all sorts of activity. Len at Fit 1 Bootcamp, on the other hand, is GREAT. Driving to work, I found Len's flyer for the 21 Day Trial promotion. As he is literally next door to the office, and the sessions are at the perfect time after work, I had no excuses. Tomorrow will be the end of the trial but not my journey at Fit 1 Bootcamp. The classes are a ton of fun, Len is always full of energy as he trains us all. The class size is perfect, with around like 10-15 people a session. Between his funny and energetic encouragements, he makes sure to speak with each of us, making sure we are well and correcting any posture issues to ensure our safety. Coming from someone who has little physical experience and endurance, I enjoy the burn and look forward to my Bootcamp sessions with Len! PS. yes the first 3 classes will be greatly painful! But as you keep going and building your muscles, the aches and pains and maybe even limping will disappear!

The kids program has been a life changer for both of my kids. Aside from the physical improvement and overall health, they’ve grown a strong sense of confidence, self worth and awareness of what it means to be healthy. They push themselves every class which gives them the mental fortitude to push through every day challenges and gives them the advantage to compete at school and on their sports teams. My kids come to this program as a means of training in their baseball off season. Since they’ve started training at Fit1 they have increased their focus and confidence to compete with other kids, so much so that they are now 2 of the strongest and dominant players on their teams. There’s nothing out there that compares to this program for kids and no one else like Len. The dedication Len makes to his members is reflected in the commitment and the kids bring to each class. They work hard, have fun and make new friends. Thanks Len!

Len is an amazing trainer who really cares about the people he works with, the whole environment at Fit 1 Bootcamp is great. The workouts really challenge you to dig deep and push yourself. The equipment is great and Len uses it to make the workouts fun but also intense. This is a great place to attend, Len has really helped me to live a healthier lifestyle and get the results I’m looking for. I would highly recommend this place.

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.

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.

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! <<<

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!

Regarding the KID'S PROGRAM (Fit Kids) My kid’s review: “IT’S GREAT!” My COVID update: During lockdowns my kid still worked out, he got stronger and creative (such as parkour in the house), and kept up his energy and motivation during this profoundly boring and lonely time. All on his own. Because of Fit1. Len is with us every day, on-line with custom workouts on zoom, youtube and email, even when the gym is closed. Len, you have my deepest thanks and utmost RESPECT My parent review: Fit1 is a true WORKOUT GYM FOR OLDER KIDS. I searched for two years and visited every gym until I found this incredible place for my son. Thank God I didn’t give up - 100% success. To clarify - the Youth-Fit program at Fit1 is NOT a "gym class." It is a high-quality, full-on cross-fit workout, providing professional equipment and professional body development for age 10-15, under the direction of a master bodybuilder. And with joy for both girls and boys - think of the the way you feel at a great party or pick-up game with your good friends. In our case my son didn’t really gel with either Martial Arts or team sports - mean and mouthy kids, or too much waiting and down-time, or he needed skills, expenditures and time that I couldn't provide for him to be competitive (single mom). Kids "group" programs, on the other hand, seemed baby-ish and often run by immature leaders. About age 9 my son said that he'd like to work out with weights at a regular gym. I was so happy to hear that! I was worried about all the scary news about depression and obesity in kids and teenagers. You can’t blame the kids - screen-time is endless and seductive - but I felt my duty is to give my child the BEST CHANCE for self-pride and good health as he got older. But business-gyms would not allow kids to work out. Understandable but sad. Those places that offered kids' classes, produced random schedules with no concept of consistency or self-discipline. In comes Len. I didn’t know anything about him or the gym but I called to take a shot & see he could be my kid’s personal trainer (we were already defeated & my son didn’t want to go anywhere). Len said NO, but MAYBE he could join the YouthFit class. Huh? Len said THE OPPOSITE of all the other gyms, that were pressuring me to sign-up and dazzle me with memberships. At Fit1 we had to go in for a meeting first; I guess for Len to evaluate our personality and sincerity. Len did not want our money. He wanted to see if he could work WITH us. I admit I was put-off and nervous. We did not get a yes-or no-answer, just a trial class. Which led to a tentative yes, because now I realize that it’s very hard to tell whether a kid is willing and able to try their best. Fast-forward three years – here we are still. Today my son is self-motivated, highly skilled, super-strong, positive, self-disciplined and gorgeous. He works hard, and I’m not involved at all. The accomplishment is humbling. I COULD NOT BE A HAPPIER OR PROUDER PARENT. It was hard for me to write these reviews because the gift here is overwhelming and hard to put to words. So I'm saying that you should try Fit1 if your girl or boy needs fitness or even if your kid is shy or scared or limited or needs help with their confidence. Don’t forget that our kids are quickly becoming young men and women – they worry about their appearance and constantly see adults working out and showing off their bodies, which I think is pretty intimidating. And then kids get to this age where they need to feel respected and treated with the same civility as adults. They don’t want to be forced and cannot be talked-down to because they have all the information out there – and they are smart enough to see the difference between an expert and a babysitter. They need to be safe, secure, and have a fun time. They need a sensitive adult to notice their struggles. But I also think that kids need the serious expertise and pushing that only a master can provide; someone to truly help them realize their potential. Len gives them ALL THAT. Your child will flourish.
