Why is Scarborough Home?

Amer Kamra’s story begins in Scarborough — a place he proudly calls home. Growing up in this vibrant community, Amer always believed that true greatness isn’t about chasing the most glamorous or affluent locations. Instead, it’s about mastering your craft so profoundly that people will seek you out, no matter where you are.

Before opening Hammer Fitness, many advised Amer to set up shop downtown Toronto or in a more upscale neighborhood. Many people said offering Personal Training in Scarborough would never succeed. But Amer’s heart was rooted in Scarborough. He saw the potential to build something extraordinary right where he grew up — a gym that would not only serve the local community but also attract fitness enthusiasts from around the world.

With relentless dedication and a commitment to excellence, Amer transformed Hammer Fitness into a destination gym. Today, people travel from countless cities and countries to train here, drawn by the mastery and passion that define everything Hammer Fitness stands for.

Choosing Scarborough wasn’t just a business decision — it was a statement. It’s proof that greatness can thrive anywhere, especially when it’s built on love, community, and unwavering commitment.
