- Rob & Hania MastroddiI have been attending classes at Gritlabs for over 8 months and have been seeing great changes in my fitness and strength. I decided to meet with Raj for a couple of personal training sessions. Raj is so knowledgeable and experienced. He immediately identified a few issues with my form/technique (subtle things that I had no idea I was doing). After a couple of sessions (and being diligent with my homework) I began to notice big improvement with gluteal and transverse abdominis engagement (areas I have struggled with after having 3 c-sections). I look forward to continuing to work with Raj as I train for my first HYROX competition on October. 🙂 bring it on. - 7/08/2024read moreread less
- Samantha BauerI have been with GritLabs for almost 3 years, and I was introduced to Raj about a month ago. Raj is an exceptional trainer, he is motivating and very knowledgeable. In the few sessions we’ve done, we were able to address and work on some issues I had been dealing with for years! I always look forward to my sessions with him. 🙂 - 7/08/2024read moreread less

I feel stronger, taller and happier since joining Gritlabs. This club is very inclusive, it doesn't matter where you are on the physical health journey!

- Carrie Ford-JonesThe first time I came to GritLabs I was immediately made to feel warmly welcome and I was paired up with a seasoned member to follow through the stations until I felt comfortable. The trainers are all so encouraging and helpful and they all remember everyone’s name! So I quickly felt like I was part of the community. The classes are fun and engaging for everyone at all levels and the energy in the room always keeps me coming back for more! Would recommend to everyone of all ages. You’ll love it and your mind and body will thank you! - 5/06/2024read moreread less
- Elaheh NesariI've been attending Gritlabs for almost a year now, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. Gritlabs is not a regular gym; It’s a community that uplifts and motivates. The coaches are incredible. The schedule of classes is excellent. I have seen great progress in my strength since I joined, and I could never do this on my own. As I reflect on my one-year journey with Gritlabs, I can confidently say that transformation goes beyond physical strength. The positive environment and the supportive community have been an incredible addition to my life. - 5/06/2024read moreread less
- Aly VaskoThere is something special about GritLabs!! If you’re looking to get stronger, faster, and feel like you’re ready to tackle any challenge, look no further!!

- Lauren KavanaghThe Baby in a Bucket class is a game changer. Since having a baby, it has allowed me to get back into shape and meet a bunch of new moms. The workouts are explained well and the instructor provides modifications if need be. I always leave feeling great! - 2/13/2024read moreread less
- Patrick ZentaI've been attending Gritlabs regularly for just under a year now, I love it more than ever. Engaging classes, excellent coaches, flexible hours. Love the group workout environment, and pushing through each session alongside all the other Gritters (made up this word just now). This is a community and I'm grateful to be a part of it. A year has flown by and I'm stronger, faster, more flexible and more confident. 1 year in I feel 10 years younger. Looking forward to year two! Thank you Gritlabs - 2/05/2024read moreread less
- Nick ShieldsThe trainers who run the classes at GRITLABS are beasts who know how to motivate you to work, even when you’re not feeling it. I had the opportunity to attend one of their hyrox sessions and it was a ton of fun, despite being one of the most challenging workouts I’ve ever done. If you’re looking for a gym that’s motivating, fun and has a great community behind it, this is the one. Rachel, Pete and Omar are fantastic!! - 1/05/2024read moreread less
- Lara CeroniI live in Toronto, but I make the trek to Burlington to go to Gritlabs Fitness because they’re THAT great. I've worked out at dozens of different gyms over decades, and I say this all the time (to anyone who will listen!) that Gritlabs is the best place I've trained at. A very intentional cycle of strength, HIIT and conditioning classes that are fun, challenging and so rewarding. You will become a very well-rounded athlete training here, and because their workouts are progressive, you will be amazed at the results. Whether you're new to the gym or an elite athlete, this gym caters to both. You always leave a class feeling like you accomplished something, and with their changing cycles of workouts, you're constantly doing something different to keep you motivated and inspired. Beyond that, the community is amazing: the owners, instructors and members are so inclusive and energetic and they’ve created an incredible and friendly community. Everyone cheers everyone on. I genuinely love it here and really couldn’t recommend it enough. You have to go! You will not be disappointed. - 1/05/2024read moreread less
- Teresa BirdGritlabs has great workout classes accompanied with great , knowledgeable coaches. Proper technique is never compromised during any of the classes, even classes with a lot of attendees. Best part is the workouts are suitable for all fitness levels. All you have to do is show up and put in the effort. 🙂 - 12/07/2023read moreread less
- Diane CourchesneI hate gyms! I've tried them all... the big malls because they offered more or less personalized classes, the 24-hour centers because I was too busy at home with my kids, I even bought equipment so I could work out at home, at my own pace, but the motivation just wasn't there. So I decided to take a "drop-in" class at Gritlab to see if I'd like it, and after the class I signed up! The gym is perfect, not too big, not too small, they have all the equipment and weights you need, the classes are varied with demusculation, toning and cardio exercises, the class schedules are flexible to suit everyone, and the trainers are really caring and encouraging. Yes, I started out by saying I hated gyms, but now I'm hooked! Addicted to Gritlab! Come and try a "drop-in" class and prove me wrong 😉 - 11/30/2023read moreread less
- Lisa MGritlabs is more than a gym—it's a fitness community where encouraging coaches and dynamic workouts come together to curate an exceptional experience. The ever-changing routines, updated every few weeks, ensure a constant challenge and target new ways to excel physically and mentally.

- Laura HumphreysI have been going to Gritlabs now for over 3 months and absolutely love it.

- Suz VuI’ve been a consistent member for 3 months now and am happy to call this my home gym! I’ve never been to 6am workouts in my life before now, which speaks volumes! I see and feel the physical and mental benefits. The members are inspiring as many of them are parents that make time to get active. Gritlabs carves out time for family workouts. It can look intimidating as there are “real weights and plates” lol but overall it’s a very welcoming environment. All the coaches make an effort to get to know you and remember your name. The owners are pretty cool too! Coach Pete explains the workouts and intentions very thoroughly which help me with my purpose and understanding. Gritlabs also incorporates other types of pop up workouts like yoga or race training from time to time which keeps things interesting. The community is awesome and I’m happy to be part of it! 🙂 - 7/05/2023read moreread less
- Susana AngelGritlabs by far has just been the best working out experience ever. It doesn’t matter the level of experience you have, the coaches will make sure you feel confident to start at you own pace and build up from there. The community is amazing, everyone makes you feel welcome and you can feel the support.. All the coaches are simply amazing. If you are just doubting or don’t know if this will be a good decision for you, I beg you to just give it a try. - 6/29/2023read moreread less
- Cindy ArmanI was back home for a bit and was looking for a gym similar to F45, so I found Gritlabs online and decided to give it a shot. I’ve been a member for 3 months and I absolutely love it. The trainers and members are friendly and welcoming. The workouts are fun, tiring and challenging but I feel stronger and energetic! The best gym in Burlington! - 6/29/2023read moreread less

GRITLABS has been the foundation to allow me to improve my physical, emotional and social well-being over the last 9 months. The positive community gave me the confidence to keep coming back.
As a result, I succeeded in developing a lifestyle to regain my fitness, activity level, strength and enjoyment of life that I was struggling to recover post-concussion. Not only that, I have surpassed my pre-concussion state and am probably in the strongest and best shape I’ve even been.

Debby
Inner Transformation
I joined GRITLABS parking lot workouts during the first lockdown. The trainers are the BEST!
GRITLABS is the most supportive gym community I have ever been a part of. Everyone is accepted and all achievements are celebrated.
For me personally, it has never been about weight loss, but about getting stronger as I age. From day 1, I have been challenged at every workout. It doesn’t get easier but I definitely have gotten stronger. This has made me much more confident to try new things in the gym. The music is motivating and the impromptu dance is a bonus.
Thanks to all the trainers and members for providing a safe and positive space.
Jen
Transformation
I started working out at GRITLABS with my husband in July of 2020. Our old gym shuttered during the pandemic and “as one door closes another one opens up” (so the saying goes). Right from the very beginning I knew GRITLABS had something special to offer. Challenging workouts, awesome music, friendly and knowledgeable trainers and most importantly a safe and fun place to be. GRITLABS has helped me build a better version of myself both physically and mentally. I have lost a few pounds, toned my body and become the strongest I have ever been. I am best known for being a bright and cheerful member of the 6:00 am club but I do make the occasional weeknight and weekend appearance. I love being a member of this active community. GRITLABS is not just my gym – they are my family.
