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.
