I went to the Talisman Centre a few years ago.

The first thing you do is fill out a questionnaire about what you're looking to get out of it, and they match you to a trainer who can gear a program to meet those needs. Because a lot of elite athletes train there, they have a good mix from high-performance trainers down to people who will just help a fat schlub become less of a fat schlub.

I didn't shop around, so I don't know how they compare on price, and it wasn't cheap, but it worked really well for me at the time.

They also have a dedicated area for Personal Training, so you're not forced to fight for access to the equipment on the floor.

Obviously, this information is from before their recent renovations, so I don't know if anything has changed, but I'd doubt it.
