At first I didn't like this location. I felt it was too dark & kinda musty smelling, however I…read moredecided to go back & give it another shot and really glad I did. Most of the time the place is REALLY clean & I love that! The counterperson is always friendly & happy to answer questions. They play a lot of hip-hop music on the sound system and I appreciate that instead of the usual gym music, so that if/when I forget my headphones, I can still workout to good tunes! There was a problem once with no hot water - but the girl was on the phone pronto to get it fixed & apologized for the inconvenience. I was really impressed with how she handled the whole thing. Only detractors are that sometimes the bike - when pedalling- will skip a rotation and cause my leg to jolt downwards...after a few of those & you soon quit the bike. I've noticed some of the treadmills were down...and the elliptical trainer machines look ancient! Also, there is a room with hardwood flooring and while I trained there, It was often cluttered & disorganized :(

After a rough two years of not taking care of myself, I had a wake-up call when I failed the…read morefitness test for my dream job. I had gained a significant amount of weight, lost my love for the gym and had absolutely no motivation. Life was kicking my butt, and I was letting it. After some pushing and encouragement from my family, I decided to chat with the fitness manager at my local Goodlife to sign up for personal training. I was very skeptical. Scratch that, I was extremely skeptical of agreeing to work with a personal trainer. With the combination of bad experiences with personal trainers/coaches and injuries I wasn't looking forward to going through the process of vetting a personal trainer. Then I was introduced to Nathan. The first session I remember walking in thinking I don't know, maybe I should just cut my losses. I went in not expecting much. Oh boy was I wrong. Within in a few minutes I felt heard and understood. I gave him my goals and we workshopped together what would work and what might prove difficult for me. I have a handful of injuries that can make training a bit of a challenge for me. There are movements I need to avoid or be quite cautious with. Nathan is responsive and proactive to ensure I do not reinjure or injure myself. He's quick to grab the weight if I ever need a hand and is always willing to re-explain anything. I appreciate being told exactly WHY a movement is good for me versus just do this because it's good for me. I would personally recommend Nathan for pretty much anyone because he is knowledgeable, passionate about helping his clients and is great at making his sessions enjoyable. He has made going to the gym fun again, I feel like a little kid excited to go to the jungle gym every time I see that it's time for a session. Never thought I'd love going to the gym again. With his guidance I feel like I can personal accomplish all my goals I have set and even more.

Everything you need at a gym!…read more Hot yoga at this location has fabulous instructors who do a great job facilitating and leading the practice, it is not included with membership though. This newer gym has pretty decent layout and has all the basics - machines,free weights, squat racks, 3 bench press stations, and one of my favorite a turf section that has sleds to push/ pull. There is also a private section just for personal trainers so you don't have to worry about how busy the gym is when you got a personal training session. Tons of cardio machines The spin class and workout room both have a virtual function that has a drop-down projector screen and a select your own virtual trainer/workout just in case there is no trainer booked when you need your workout. They have massage therapy clinic and free to use massage chairs OMG ( they're very epic). I believe there's a health/ nutrition consultant as well. The vending machine there has protein bars and powder , pre workout, snacks and tanning oils for there two tanning rooms on site ( stand up and lie down) I would probably boost to a five star if there was an Olympic lift section...

It was nice cause there were one ten members so it wasn't over crowded. The instructor was great at warming everyone up before jumping straight into vinyasa flow. My only complaint is that the floors of this gym really need to be vacuumed, there seems to be rocks, hair and dust throughout the change rooms, gym floors and yoga room. It would be also nice to see some basic amenities in the change room such as hair ties, q-tips and face wipes. I will keep coming as it is a super convenient location just steps from the Clareview lrt station.

I came for a group trial class last month and loved it!…read more If I lived southside I would be looking at drop in passes or membership here no doubt! The owner, Shara, taught us a group class and I loved it! She asked us about any injuries and took the time to come around and check in with us during our circuits for any modifications required. You'd be surprised how 30 second stations can kick challenge you yet leave you with enough energy to keep going. The warm up with the bands around our ankels, knees, and thighs was super challenging but also somehow stabilizing and didn't both my knees or back one bit! I loved the teamwork and atmosphere. The location is a bit off the beaten track in an industrial area but not a big deal. The inside is absolutely gorgeous! I noticed a sign that they also have "cold baths" and a "sauna." Sounds like the perfect way to end a workout here! I would absolutely recommend SVPT to anyone looking to challenge their fitness routine!

The other morning after some local MMA fights (and maybe a bit of overindulgence in the Strongbow…read moredepartment) I dragged my face off my pillow and joined my partner and other local mma fighter at SVPT to see what the hype is all about. I train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at Complete Martial Arts and Fitness alongside some of the best MMA fighters in the city, including a couple UFC fighters - they all do personal training at SVPT and only say the best things about owner Shara Vigeant and her facility. Upon my 9am arrival at the centre, I was greeted at the door by 2014 Global Women of Vision 2014 award recipient Shara herself. She was bright eyed and bushy tailed with a smile and showed me where to put my things. After taking a gander at the walls lined with signed glossies of winning athletes singing Shara and her trainers' praises, she had me sign a waiver and get right out on the turf. Our session started with a warmup. We did a bit of foam rolling, some stretches, box jumps, chucked a medicine ball around. I started breaking a sweat right away, but I wasnt uncomfortable. As we were working, Shara asked me about previous experience with working out, the gym, my jiu jitsu classes, etc. I am a complete beginner and have never experienced any form of serious gym workout or personal training. I was in for a treat! I had a great time sweating my ass of and hauling my weight around. I was amazed to see the strength and stamina of the athletes I was working alongside. The workout was quick paced and interesting. Absolutely challenging and even fun. I learned how to swing a kettle bell around, use some resistance bands, do squats with an elevated leg (tough one!) and even pushed a weighted sled back and forth - all the while thinking: My ass is gonna look great. The SVPT facility is incredible. Larger than I thought it would be and Immaculately clean. The air is fresh and moving, clean towels and access to water bottle refill station are available to clients. I'm no expert on what makes for up to date things at the gym, but the equipment seemed new, modern and well maintained. Half of the floor is green astroturf (all the better to push a sled across, i guess!) The garage style door at the back allows for natural light to come in as the sun comes up. After my session, I mopped the sweat from my head and headed towards the change room to shower and change. The beautiful modern change rooms were like walking into a washroom in a showhome - except times six! A line of sparkling showers with temperature controlled taps (not like the push-button, lukewarm and timed showers at gyms and pools) were closed in their own cubicles with private changing area. Clean sinks and well lit mirrors (even a little basket with some toiletries you may have forgotten) would make SVPT a great place to start your day and still be able to freshen up before work and taking on your day. (did I mention how clean it is? You know me... I like my public places clean!) All in all, I have to say I'm actually shocked that I appear to be the first review of this place! I had a great time, have nothing but great things to say about SVPT. Shara was an enormous help every step of the way, ensuring my posture was correct and pushing me to move forward. It was definitely a treat to see what all the fuss is about! I will make a habit out of this.

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 ;)

The red accent wall with sparkling silver writing gives the quick details for the class/studio, with a little spot for posing with your besties after an intense sweaty ride (lol). They have about 50 bikes , and the light show is pretty sweet! Everything timed out to songs, lights and ride intensity, with empowering and energetic instructors! Shoes can also be provided upon registering for your class online, which is great (since I have no spin shoes ). I love that it's great cross-training for those with elevated fitness/training goals! Great cardio and they incorporate arms and other body part exercises while busting those thighs Spin it up!
