I was a member of The Training Room for 10 years and then switched to Oxygen because i wanted a gym within walking distance. (It was too easy to skip workouts in the winter if I had to warm up and clean off the car etc.)

I left in 2004.

I loved the Training Room. It was not a cardio lover's spandex dream gym. It had the basics -- about 6 elliptical trainers, 8 treadmills, a bunch of Stairmasters, a Stepmill (my favourite) and bikes, upright and recumbent.

Forget classes. They were an afterthought to me.

But I loved the equipment It was a serious weight trainer's gym, with the only downside being insufficient stretching space.

But it was friendly, not crowded, not expensive and truly about fitness and not about selling memberships.

Oh, I was paying about $30 a month, about $5 a month less than what I paid Oxygen.

When you said forget the classes, do you mean they don't have classes? Do they have a room for classes?

They had classes -- remember I left in 2005 -- but not many.

There was boxing -- the real deal -- and boot camp, some aerobics and Pilates-type. I can't quite recall because I am not much of a class person.

They have a web site at www dot trainingroom dot ca
