Funny thing is that you cannot find a single gym with those equipment in TO, while all 3 of the gyms I train at have them along with a ton of equally interesting pieces all that being in the small city of Trois-Rivieres, which is something like 10x smaller than TO And the funniest thing is that 2 of these gyms are high school gyms and the other one is in the basement of a church!!!

We do have, among other things,

reverse hyper stations
glute-ham stations
2-6 olympic platforms (depending in the gym)
eleiko and york olympic lifting bars
york bumper plates
a wide variety of strongman equipment (and I do mean a WIDE variety!)
Sleds
Medicine balls up to 30lbs
Jumpstretch bands
Weight releasers (ok I bought the last two, but still)
A compex sport EMS unit (which I also bought)
3-10 squat stations depending on the gym (either a power rack or squat stands)

As far as the glute-ham stations goes, we had them built by a local shop, we wrote the plans and we only had to pay for the material (the shop is also a school and the GHR and several other pieces were done as part of a school project). Basically we ended up paying something like 100$Can per unit which is a farce considering the market prices for these machines.

I worked out at the Athletic complex in UofT this afternoon and noticed the following

Leg press that can be used for reverse leg press
Reverse hyper bench (can be used for it, not necessarily designed specifically for it)
OLY platform with OLY weights and bar
The hyper machine looks like it can do GHR but it might not be the most comfortable

I was impressed with the complex. Great plyo equipment as well and not too busy.
(Also had depth jump boxes, hurdles, plyo area with extra cushioning etc)

cheers,
Chris

Chris is it possible I can get the plans for how to build the glute ham raise machine. I would be intrested in paying someone to build a glute ham raise machine for me.
