I have been a client of Roseland Health and Fittness since April of 2025. I was impressed by the fact that before becoming a client I was interviewed to discuss my goals and expectations. I was then assigned a trainer, Anna. She started me off slowly and was and still is always concerned that the exercises she assigned were within my limitations. I have progressed at a rate that is suitable for me and I have never been asked to go beyond my limits but training has increased these limits. I now find that I have more strength and balance to carry on everyday tasks as a senior.
The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, the equipment is in excellent condition, and the facilities are clean.
I would strongly recommend Roseland Health and Fittness for anyone that wants to increase their strength and well being through threir senior years.

I had reoccurring sciatic pain and was recommended to start strength training by my chiropractor. I reached out to Roseland Health & Fitness for personal training. My trainer listened to my concerns, created a thoughtful customized program, and has helped me get back on track. I feel much stronger — and when I do get the occasional back ache, I quickly recover. Highly recommend the great team Roseland Health & Fitness!

I've been training at Roseland Fitness for close to a year and I can confidently say it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made for my health and well-being. The energy in the studio is always positive, discreet, respectful, the space is clean and motivating, and the owners, Christine & Claire are not only knowledgeable but genuinely supportive and very inspiring.
My personal trainer, Julia, is exceptional and I don’t know where I would be in my health journey without her. I’ve worked out in gyms over the years but there’s something incredibly special knowing there’s someone waiting for you to help you reach your goals.
Whether you're a beginner or looking to level up your fitness game, this place meets you where you are and helps you grow stronger—physically and mentally. It's more than just a workout—it’s a community that cheers you on every step of the way.
I would highly recommend Roseland Fitness to anyone looking to change their life in the best way possible.

There’s no doubt in my mind that Roseland Health and Fitness is the best place to go if you want to incorporate better health and fitness into your daily life. The trainers are amazing at customizing your individual workouts to meet your goals. The gym may be small but the sense of community is HUGE. You are surrounded by supportive and motivating trainers and workout mates. I have met some amazing people in the 5 years that I have been at Roseland. Shout out to Claire who has made my workouts tough but fun. I am so grateful that she has been a big part of my fitness journey.
This past month I had to say goodbye to Roseland Health and Fitness when I moved out of the city. I am hopeful that I will find another gym similar to it. Sadly I know I’ll never find another Claire, Christine, Anna, Julia or Mariela. 💕

Seeing the improved level of fitness my wife was attaining at Roseland and how much she liked the studio and staff, I decided to join 6 months later in August 2023. It has been one of the best things I have done for myself. As an avid hiker and cross-country skier I thought I was in pretty good shape, but since coming to Rosedale I have noticed that I can do many activities with much more ease. It is an intimate and clean work out space and my trainers, Julia and Mariela, are friendly, knowledgeable, encouraging, and know how far to push me. In addition, if I need to change up scheduling the studio has been very accommodating. I recommend anyone, of any age, to join Roseland Health and Fitness.

Love this place! This is my first time using a personal trainer and the benefits over the past 18 months have been life-changing. Many aches and pains have lessened and I am stronger with improved ability to perform functional life movements. All the trainers at Roseland Health and Fitness are experienced professionals. I am thankful to Julia as she progressively trains me to achieve physical skills I didn’t think possible, real push ups and now training for pull-ups. The atmosphere is calm, focused and welcoming and I actually look forward to each work out. Highly recommend!

I have always been a bit nervous about working out and so for 67 years avoided gyms altogether. That is until I realized I needed to move before I couldn't any more. As soon as I entered this studio I knew I had found the perfect place for me. I was immediately greeted by all the staff and the members and made to feel SO comfortable. This place is the real deal. I am now in the best shape of my life and would never go back to couch potato status again!

I’ve been wanting to review Roseland Health & Fitness for quite a while. Unfortunately I let procrastination stop me. Today when I read Christine’s newsletter I decided to take action!
This gym has been an amazing place for me. I suffer from psoriatic arthritis and I am on a Biological Medicine to treat this. The trainers at Roseland Health and Fitness have kept me mobile especially over the last 21 months of Covid. Without their dedicated help my mobility would’ve been greatly reduced and my pain would’ve been increased. Christine, Claire and Anna have all helped me with their own professional expertise
I now can play tennis on a regular basis as long as I continue to go to the gym and practice the mobility exercises. I have never been hurt working out with these fantastic women!
When I fractured my right arm after a fall shortly after retiring these ladies got me back and listened patiently to my complaints with a smile.
Despite their own challenges with Covid on their gym they continue to give to the community in numerous ways. More recently they provided over 40 presents to a retirement home and seniors who may otherwise have been forgotten.
They have also helped me with my fundraising activities for the labour and delivery ward at Joseph Brant Hospital . There are other numerous community events that they sponsor.
The trainers lead with their heart and make each and every member feel special.
I am so very grateful to these professionals and to this organization.

I’ve been going to Roseland Health and Fitness for almost a year now, I have loved my experience with all of the staff here and have had a chance to work with everyone. Claire, Anna, Christine, and Joe are all very lovely people and always make me feel welcome and happy to be in the studio. They also accommodate really well to people who would prefer to workout from home.
I was assigned to work with Joe for my training, and I could not recommend him enough for anyone who’s looking to become much stronger and healthier.
Joe has pushed me to do better with realistic goals in mind and has been the leading force of the countless achievements I’ve made since I started working with him. He also makes sure I’m comfortable while doing an exercise and will accommodate to any of my concerns with no hesitations.
Overall I would absolutely recommend anyone looking to become a healthier and stronger person to give Roseland Health and Fitness a try! I always know I’ll be given the best and welcoming experience the moment I walk through the door. :-)

The instructors at Roseland Health & Fitness provide great personalized services to cater to one's fitness goals. Every session has been friendly, professional and effective. They have done a great job transitioning that same quality service virtually due to COVID. I recommend them for personal or corporate events.

I wasn’t going to let a pandemic derail my health and fitness goals. I’ve known Christine for many years and knew that Roseland Health and Fitness was where I wanted to workout. We’ve been training twice a week since June and I am so impressed by the progression in my training sessions. Christine and Claire have an amazing studio that conforms to all of the COVID-19 protocols. I feel very fortunate to have Christine working with me to reach my goals and look forward to every training session.

In the intensity of lockdown, I made a change: a commitment to my health, a resolve to get in shape. I called Roseland fitness. I started virtually during high lockdown, but since reopening I’ve come in to the gym for the quality training offered in person. It’s clean, and carefully organized for our new abnormal. At least Christine and Claire put the abs in abnormal.

I can’t recommend enough this fabulous establishment — the moment you walk in the door, you just know you’ll be well taken care of. By the time you leave, you’ll have been encouraged, enlightened, and gifted the expertise, patience and guidance of the wonderful staff and you’ll be looking forward to your journey to good health and well being. I’m stronger, leaner and more confident of reaching my goals thanks to the whole team at Roseland Health and Fitness.

I can't say enough about this fitness studio. I was first introduced to it when my massage therapist Derek told me he was moving and said if I was interested in following him to his new location, to look him up. So I did and when walking through the studio to get to my massage, I couldn't help but check out what was available to help me improve my fitness level.
And voila, I was assigned to Susan Stuart and the rest is history. I've been now going to this studio for well over a year, and what I love the absolute most is that it's a great fitness place without the cold and impersonal feel of a large gym or fitness facility. Plus you can bet there is no one flexing his muscles in the mirror and taking selfies!
I can't say enough about Claire and Christine, the owners. 2 very special people who are so very passionate about their work, their services and their studio.
This place is Fun, Friendly and Fitness all combined into one.

Like many people, I have a few health challenges that I've been dealing with over the years. I have been to many different places, some silver and some even gold. I would rate Roseland Health & Fitness as Platinum, actually beyond Platinum! From the moment I walked through the doors I was welcomed by such a wonderful, warm and positive atmosphere. The camaraderie among everyone that works there and all of the clients is exceptional. The coaches are able to help you get stronger without causing injury or making you hurt more. They are simply amazing!

I would highly recommend Roseland Health & Fitness. I've taken advantage of both the health and fitness side of the facility. I have worked with Anna and Claire. Both are passionate and knowledgeable at what they do and continue to help me achieve personal goals. I've also dealt with Lana, the RMT, to help deal with nagging injures and general soreness. The 3 of them, along with Christine, are always very friendly and personable. Awesome environment!

Roseland Health and Fitness rises above the rest in large part due to the welcoming, supportive and knowledgeable individuals who work there. They provide challenging workouts whilst focusing on safety and address personal injuries with wisdom and balance. Lana, a massage therapist, is exceptional. Christine and Claire have created an environment where fitness is fun ( really!) and where clients young and old are treated with respect. It is my happy place!
