Dwayne Johnson Drops In for Workout at Toronto’s Fit Squad During TIFF

The low-key stop underscored his disciplined routine during TIFF promotion of Benny Safdie’s The Smashing Machine.

Overview

  • Johnson, in Toronto for the festival rollout of The Smashing Machine, trained at Fit Squad Training Gym near the TIFF hub.
  • Co-owner Aldo Frixione said Johnson arrived “locked in” for a full session, stayed humble and respectful, and posed for photos afterward.
  • Fit Squad shared an Instagram carousel of the visit, calling it “a pretty surreal reminder of what we’re building.”
  • The gym at 111 Peter St., Unit 102, is a short walk from King and John, which made the quick workout feasible between events.
  • Johnson also took part in a TIFF “In Conversation With…” at the Royal Alexandra Theatre as the film continued its North American premiere run.
