| - I agree, that this gym is full of fake reviews and their business model is dependent on selling personal training. I frequented this gym, and if you're not using personal trainers which are quite expensive, they treat you like a 2nd class citizen.
There is only one cable machine and not a large variety of machines. Therefore the cable machine is always busy, and the personal trainers have been completely rude to me when I'm using it, because they tell me they are on a time constraint with their client, who obviously takes precedent. There was one personal trainer who was so rude, she wouldn't let me do my exercises on the cable machine the way I wanted to, and was trying to force me to use one side of it, which was dangerous. It was incredible.
Also, I found it strange that 80% of the clientele that go there use the personal trainers. This is not a coincidence. The place can be very loud too, since it's concrete, the sound echoes and sometimes the personal trainers blast the music! I recommend going to another gym. I joined the U of T gym where I work, and they aren't built on selling personal training, have way more equipment, and people to help you free of charge. It's a completely different vibe with free gym trainers that focus on form and technique unlike the personal trainers at Stration 6. I've just seen them push their clients to do unsafe activities.
There are better options out there with machines that are usually working. Did I mention the hydraulic pump machines aren't working properly sometimes, so you can't see the weight you are trying to lift/push. I remember asking 4 people to get that fixed. There are better options out there for gyms.
