The Temple is Parker’s in-house Official Hammer Strength® training facility and yoga & spin studio. The Temple rivals North America’s best commercial-grade fitness centres. 

This month we sat down with Matt Nichol, a strength and conditioning coach who has trained professional athletes for over 25 years. Nichol’s career has included time with both the Toronto Maple Leafs and Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Nichol was also a key contributor to The Temple’s design and equipment selection here at Parker.

“The equipment found in The Temple is the same caliber as what would be found in the training centres of professional sports teams and is not what you would typically find in a residential building,” says Nichol. “The selection caters to residents that are passionate about their health & fitness and educated on what equipment will help them reach their fitness goals. We wanted to ensure that we met the standards of even the most discerning fitness fanatics. The Temple simultaneously maintains an approachable atmosphere for those merely starting their fitness journeys,” says Nichol.

In our conversation, Nichol stated that he enjoyed collaborating with the team at Parker, who were “passionate about going above and beyond typical rental standards, and who spared no expense to deliver to their residents a best-in-class experience.”

With Nichol’s expert guidance, “Fitzrovia has ensured that this facility can replace a renter’s need to maintain a traditional gym membership anywhere else”. With a facility like The Temple, one can achieve their fitness goals and elevate their health.
