A great place to really get your sweat on! If you're looking…read morefor something different from regular gym memberships or more challenging workouts, might I suggest a CrossFit studio? With smaller class sizes, you can get more personalized attention/help from the instructors during classes, and make sure you are completing the exercises in correct form so as to prevent injury. They offer a range of memberships and classes/exercises not usually seen in other gyms/workout studios, like the multitude of arrangements and heights for bars, rings, and ropes. For those looking to try it out, I'd suggest the kickstart program - a 4 week program (12x one-hour sessions) that goes over every movement they offer and how to progress from whatever level you're starting at, which means ALL levels are welcome! A drop-in/punch pass is also a great place to start if you're wanting to check it out and get a feel for the space and instructors :) Remember to bring a water bottle and SMILE!!

One of the best crossfit gyms you will ever go to. If your in the area, drop in for an intense and…read morefriendly workout! The Coaches - Each and every coach, from the 4 owners to the new Level 1 coaches, are very knowledgeable. Whether it's your first time at a crossfit gym or your an elite competitor, they will give you tips on how to improve. EVERYONE gets some 1 on 1 instruction from a coach throughout the class (often there are 2 coaches). If you are struggling with something, they will put the extra time and effort into either give you new verbal cues, demonstrate a lift, show video clips, or researh new ideas - trust me, there's no movement you can't conquer! I have found that many coaches at other gyms either don't care about helping you improve and would rather chat with their buddies, or they just don't know how to help you.These coaches LOVE crossfit, and it shows. The Gym - The gym is bigger and better after they moved one door down - a larger space, new rig, extra weights, and new toys (ie axle bars, tires, atlas stones, punching bag, you name it). Plenty of space for the class, plus personal training, plus athletes doing their own workouts. Sometimes the workout is in the back parking lot, and there's a good running loop with minimal traffic. The Schedule - Armoury has the BEST schedule out of all crossfit gyms. They are pretty well open 6am-10pm, and are even open for a few hours (not just 1 or 2 classes like most gyms) on Saturday AND Sunday. The WODS - The workouts are programmed weekly by one of the coaches (regional competitor). There is always a new focus but the workouts are always unique. I have found that many gyms stick to the basics and it seems you're doing a similar wod every week, but Armoury is very good at throwing in new movements and pushing your limits! There is always a strength portion and a wod, plus extra credit if you must! And of course there are always tons of scaling options - technique comes first, and you only push yourself as hard as you want to. The Atmosphere - Everyone at the gym is very friendly, male and females, age ranges from late teens to senior. Come for a workout a couple times a week, or become a regular and get competitive - they've got the tools and resources to send people to regionals if you so desire!

He was not encouraging and focused on the things that we could not do.

Fitset???!!! If you…read morehaven't tried it you must! Imagine yourself driving down your neighborhood think "hmm... I would love to try that Barre studio, or that yoga place... Wait crossfit what's that about? Well if you had a fitset membership you could go to all those places and more. I love my fitset membership because not only do you get to try new things, you have the opportunity to meet new people and get more involved in the community. The best part about Fitset is that they give you a free trial so you can experience it before you decide to commit yourself to a month or more. O did I mention no contract? The Fitset team are everywhere from hosting fun events to pop ups in Lululemon or special affairs like FitFest. If you need technical support involving your membership they are quick with resolve. Yes I highly recommend just trying the free trial, you never know you might get addicted to being healthy and having fun ;)

I had to line up just to get changed. Facility it self sucks. You get what you pay for. here's a kicker, they tell you no cancelation fees then when you go to cancel they tell you that you have to still pay for another month. That's a cancelation fee!!!! you cancel because you dont want to go there so why would I want to go for another month? avoid this place and pay for somewhere else a bit more. This place is a dump.

The smell of the mens washroom is sickening, and the urinal will not flush. The gym floor has lights burnt out everywhere. Come on management, lets get on the ball or get on the bus.

Visited the Integration Pilates studio last month for the first time…read more I was really surprised by the size of the studio inside. You think the Reformers (traditional table pilates) is the whole studio and then you realize there are 2 more studio spaces including a GIGANTIC one in the back for mat/floor work. The owner was fabulous and really informative. They can provide a bazillion modifications for any injuries and really take their time to help you get into the right positions with hands on help. I had taken a floor pilates series of classes years ago but it was nothing like this. They offer a phenomenal 2 week unlimited pass to check them out for only $30 for the first time! The reformer tables were my favourite - it felt like traction heaven for my back! One suggestion though, I really felt the atmosphere needed to feel updated (wall colours, etc. Something to make it feel fresher/brighter). Man, I wish I lived closer!

What you get from NME are workout classes (Strength, Spin, Tabata, Zumba, Pound - to name a few). You also get an AMAZING community. Aside from classes, NME frequently plans outings (white water rafting, axe throwing, etc) and events in the gym (meal prep, workshops to promote wellness). They really care about the WHOLE person, not just the packaging..... and I love this!! The last thing I want to add is that Cheryl, the owner, cares - about everyone. You'll see what I mean, if you try this place out. It's WAY more than a gym, it's a community. Everyone is welcome.

I have been going to this gym for a little more than a year, and I really like it! As soon as you…read moretake your first class you can feel the different vibe as compared to other gyms or group fitness classes. They will notice that you are new and help you get set up for class, and all the instructors make working out feel fun and inclusive. Regardless of your fitness level, you will fit in and feel welcome. The owner, Cheryl, cares about each member and takes the time to learn everyone's name- plus she's funny and entertaining to take class from, she helps you forget the pain of the workout (at least a little bit)! The only downside I can say is that it can feel a bit pricey if you're comparing to a monthly gym membership, but if you work out the per class cost it is really reasonable and definitely worth the extra money. Paying in advance for registered classes is great motivation to keep going to class, something I always struggled with when I had monthly memberships. Definitely check it out, especially if you are just getting started or getting back on track with your fitness/exercise journey- you won't regret it!

I have never had a membership to World Health Club so I can't comment on any pushy salespeople but…read morehave had the opportunity to visit and try out a few of their clubs. I've been to the Glenora location a few times; once for a class and the other time to work out on the machines. The last visit was to work out on a Saturday morning. The locker area is spacious and clean. The layout works that not everyone is in one area with one row of lockers like as some gyms. There are the full body length and half size lockers which is great and you need to bring your own lock. There are benches scattered around by the lockers. There are big mirrors, hairdryers, lotions, and I think even hairspray! There's a door to separate the lockers from the toilets and the shower area. The showers are huge and private, and they provide shampoo, conditioner, and soap. I didn't even need to bring a towel as they provide that as well! I went to the cardio machines where they have rows of bikes, ellipticals, and treadmills. I hopped on an elliptical but I didn't see the antibacterial wipes, which I like to use to wipe the machine before I use it in case the person before me didn't. The machines are great with each having their own tv and lots of channels! It makes the time go be quickly. I noticed where a few people were going to get wipes so I got some to clean my machine down. The free weights and weight machine area had lots of options so it wasn't too crowded. There were benches unoccupied it's nice there's room for everyone in the area. I also think there's a Women's Only area upstairs but I didn't check it out. Closer to the front by the offices are chairs which is great if you are waiting for a friend to come out of the locker area. The shoe area is also big so shoes are on top of each other. Great gym!
