| - Pros :
1/ Price around $10/ month (before taxes). $39 annual membership (the time I joined few months ago). You save water bill if you go on a daily basis + you feel healthy, why not ?
They also have "Back Card" membership which you pay around $20 / month (before taxes) and get more benefit.

I live closer to Fit4Less (lower level of Bridlewood Mall,@ Finch & Warden) and the membership price is almost the same as Plant Fitness - N. Scarborough.
But, I still prefer PF.
2/ Lots of equipment (if you don't compare GoodLife or some expensive gyms) you can name of. Treadmills, Ellipticals, Stairmasters, AbCoasters, weights, purple color gym mats.
Lots of TV channels. Good for us when members run on treadmills / ellipticals.
3/ Parking is big. You might need to drive around during busy hours, but I never face this issue since I joined. (This gym is not for you if you only want to park your vehicle underground).
4/ Ladies' changing room and showers are quite clean, as far as I don't smell anything weird! (One time, I saw a lady staff showed some new hires how & how often to clean the ladies' room...Good Job !!!)
5/ Most of staffs are nice and enjoy to chat with you!
6/ Free PF gym T-shirts. (Staff will tell you they quite often short the shipment. So be patience! It's not their fault!) + free WiFi.
7/ Good location (Steeles / SilverStar Blvd.). No Frills, restaurants, bank is very close by.
Cons:
1/ Enough lockers, but not enough long size lockers (less than 10). You might need to go to non-rush hours if you only prefer long lockers like me to put our giant gym bags. Otherwise, you might need to squeeze your bag into a general size of lockers.
***IMPORTANT : Always bring your combination or lock to secure your belongings. Plus, I would suggest don't carry too much valuable, i.e. cash, credit cards.***
2/ There's around 3 ladies small changing rooms, 4 ladies toilets, and 4 showers (including one for handicapped / disable).
You may need to wait to get a shower during busy hours.
The main issue was there only one or two showers has enough (not good or strong) water pressure. Plus, the gym just removed dispensers for all showers. So, make sure bring your own shampoo, conditioner and shower gel!
**DO hope Club Manager concern this comment.**
3/ This gym is not good for you if you want to join lots of different types of classes (i.e. hot yoga, pilates...etc). But they do have some type of "Design Your Own Program". Enjoy!

To me, no complaint this gym has no classes due to an affordable price.
4/ No 'referral friends/family' program.
