Every detail of your training is engineered — from machine selection to moment arm physics — to maximize your results safely and efficiently.
Your Coach, Every Session
One-on-one or semi-private, you work with the same coach every session. No rotating staff. No distractions. Just focused, expert attention on your progress.
Science-Driven Programming
Hammer Fitness training is rooted in biomechanics and resistance training science — the principles taught by Tom Purvis and applied by Amer since 2012.
Appointment Only — No Crowds
The floor is booked around your session. Private, focused, and completely distraction-free. Training the way it should be.
World-Class Equipment
Rare, museum-grade machines selected for optimal moment arm and resistance curves — equipment you won't find at any other gym in Canada.
Fully Customized Plans
No templates. Every program is built from scratch around your body, your goals, and your training history — then adjusted session by session.
Proven Transformations
Over 1,200 five-star Google reviews and hundreds of documented transformations across fat loss, muscle building, and competition prep.
Regular Toronto people, real schedules
Hammer Fitness has a wall of stage-ready physiques, and it puts some people off before they ever walk in. Here is who is actually on the floor on a Tuesday morning.
Parents training before the house wakes up
Two kids, a commute, and one genuinely protected hour. The programme gets written around three sessions a week, not five, because a plan you can actually keep beats a perfect one you abandon in March.
Nurses, first responders, trades
Your week does not repeat, so your training cannot assume it does. The coaches build blocks that survive a night shift, and adjust the load rather than cancel the session when you have had four hours' sleep.
People who have started over before
Two gym memberships, an app, a bootcamp. Nothing stuck, and by now the assumption is that the problem is you. It usually is not — it is that nobody ever built the thing around your life.
Experienced lifters who stopped progressing
You know what you are doing and the numbers have not moved in a year. This is where biomechanics earns its keep — usually the fix is exercise selection and execution, not adding another training day.
Training around an old injury
A shoulder, a lower back, a knee that has opinions. Once your physio has cleared you, the coaches work with what the joint will tolerate and build from there. Nobody here is going to tell you to push through it.
Clients who drive past closer gyms
People come to 21 Progress Ave from across the GTA, and from other cities, because coaching quality is worth a commute in a way that a squat rack never is.
What none of them get is a membership. Hammer Fitness is appointment-only. There is no drop-in, no swipe card and no busy floor to fight for equipment on — every session is booked: one coach with one client, or up to four on semi-private.

Personal training in Toronto — common questions
The things people ask on the phone before they book a consultation, answered here instead.
Where in Toronto is Hammer Fitness?
Unit 7, 21 Progress Avenue, Scarborough, Toronto, M1P 4S8. It is a private, appointment-only floor rather than a storefront gym. Clients travel to Hammer Fitness from across the GTA — and from other cities — which says most of what needs saying about why it never moved downtown.
The gym is open 5am to 11pm, seven days a week, so the early slot before work and the late one after it are both real options.
Do I need a membership to train here?
No. There are no memberships, no drop-ins and no contracts to sign at the door. You book coaching sessions, and the floor is reserved for people who have one booked. That is why it is never busy.
Is it really one-on-one?
Yes. Private one-on-one is the core of what Hammer Fitness does — your coach is with you for the whole session, every session, with no rotating staff.
Hammer Fitness also runs semi-private, which is two to four people with one coach, each following their own programme. There are no group classes or bootcamps.
Do I need any experience before I start?
None at all. A meaningful share of Hammer Fitness clients have never lifted a weight in their life, and several of the transformations on this page started that way. The first sessions are spent teaching you how to move well — the load comes later, once the pattern is right.
Starting is worth it at any level: Canada's 24-Hour Movement Guidelines recommend muscle-strengthening work at least twice a week for adults.
How much does personal training in Toronto cost?
It depends on your goal, your training history and how often you would realistically train — so the coaches give you an exact figure at the free consultation rather than a number that turns out not to apply to you. There is nothing to pay to have that conversation.
Semi-private is meaningfully cheaper per session than one-on-one, because you are sharing the coach's time with two or three other people while still running your own programme. Most gyms will not mention it until after you have said no to the first number.
For the whole Toronto market broken down by tier before you speak to anyone, Hammer Fitness has written that up in full. What personal training costs in Toronto →
How quickly will I see results?
Your coach re-measures at the end of week four, compares against your starting numbers, then rewrites the programme based on what the numbers actually did rather than what they were supposed to do. Most people notice strength and energy changes before the mirror catches up.
Anyone promising a specific number of pounds by a specific date has not met you yet.
Who will actually coach me?
One coach from the Hammer Fitness team, matched to your goal at the consultation, and you stay with them. You are not passed between whoever happens to be free.
What happens at the free consultation?
You sit down with a coach, go through your goal, your training history, any injuries and what your week realistically looks like, and get walked through the floor. You leave knowing what the programme would be and exactly what it would cost.
