The Oxygen studio by Gilmore skytrain station has the poorest layout. It's a shame that changing…read moreroom, cubbyholes plus the one and only washroom are inside the studio, where classes are taking place. It's a complete gong show in between two classes, lots of people going in and out, and waiting to use the washroom. That's not a very relaxing, grounding way to start a class. The yoga instructor didn't introduce herself, and didn't ask if anyone is injured. Throughout the class, she didn't provide modification in postures besides chaturanga. Towards the last 10-15 minutes, because people are waiting for next class outside, the wind down and savasana portion was getting pretty loud, definitely not how I want to end a class.

It's also really convenient with a punch pass so I can drop in whenever I want and not commit to an unlimited membership. Freedom Flow (Courtney): Traditional style of yoga that engages your entire body. This class completely changed my previous perception of yoga. Holding the poses challenged my strength, flexibility, and balance. This is probably my absolutely favourite class at Oxygen. I love Courtney's class in particular because her instructions are super clear and her flows are both fun and challenging! I find that my mind is so focused on what I'm doing that the hour just flies by. I always leave feeling much more positive than when I came in. Fast and Furious (Courtney): Intense fitness class that involves weights, bands, and a pilates ball. This workout is great when you want to incorporate more cardio moves and push your limits! -- This class always fills up, so make sure you book your spot in advance on the Mindbody app. Bootcamp Fusion (Carla): Circuit class (about 20 stations) incorporating HIIT cardio, weights, and body weight exercises. Love this class because she plays fun and current music. -- No yoga mat required I encourage everyone to switch up their workouts by trying out some classes at oxygen! You can try their newbie promo ($10 for 1 week unlimited) and see if these types of workouts suit your lifestyle :)

I was approached mid-workout by a manager (Jessica) on the gym floor, in front of other members, in…read morea way that made me feel publicly called out and extremely uncomfortable. Even if it was a misunderstanding, the approach was embarrassing enough that I no longer feel comfortable coming back to the gym. It's especially disappointing because the gym promotes supporting women, but the way I was treated and publicly embarrassed did not reflect that message. Because of this experience, I cancelled my membership at She's Fit Metrotown. I do want to acknowledge that the General Manager handled the situation professionally afterward and was respectful in listening - but unfortunately the public confrontation on the floor overshadowed what had otherwise been a very positive experience.

She couldn't answer. Completely incompetent staff cannot even guide off-duty ppl where to park.

However, I do understand where they're coming from. It's their job to make a sale. I don't blame them for being pushy. As for the cleanliness, I could only speak for the areas I see. The women's washrooms are definitely clean. The gym floor is also tidy, and the equipment is grouped nicely and well maintained. I did get the 6-month personal training. I did this to make sure I'm doing the correct excise for the right muscles. I'm not gym savvy, so I need help in this area. My PT's name is Elaine. She's wonderful. She does not only teach you the form, she tells who which muscle groups should be engaged and why it is important to work those muscles out. I am very much pleased with my training as I learn a lot. I am making the most out of it. As for my gym membership, I've only managed to take advantage of bodyjam class. This is a dance class and is so much fun. I like Maureen and Glen. I think they're both cool. I have yet to take the yoga class and RPM class (spin class). I'm pretty sure I will enjoy them too. One thing that needs improvement is the reception desk. I think some people at the reception are lazy. When I tried to leave a message for my PT, I was told that it's no guarantee that the message would reach my PT. WTH! Is it so hard to walk over the gym floor, look for the PT, and give the message?! I will not leave a message if it's not important. Duh!? Overall I would still recommend this gym. Oh and did I mention it's open 24 hrs?!!!

It was good. Met my expectations. Worth checking out. Id give it 5 stars if it was a bit cheaper…read more $35-$40 a class is more expensive than just going to a regular gym. But it's nice to have a guided routine every once and a while. Might not go back just because I can do yoga at home for free and find anytime fitness to be better value for what you get. Everyone that worked here was very nice. I learned a couple new stretchs. Overall good vibes. I enjoyed the class and would always recommend a good workout which is what I this is.

The trainer did NOTHING. She asked if I was ok as I sat on the floor in agony. I was the only person working out at that moment so you could HEAR the pop. I asked if I could have an ice pack or if they had a first aid kit and she said they did not. I asked if I could at least have a water from the refrigerator so I could stop the swelling and she did grant me that (but I had to give it back). I reported this and asked if I could end my contract but they did not allow me so I paid FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR. It's a year and a half later now and I'm still recovering from this. I'm still getting, "We miss you" emails from them which has engorged my rage and prompted me to warn others about this. If this doesn't stop you from signing up, check out their hours. They are absolutely HORRIBLE. For a person with regular work hours, not convenient at all. Unless you like live like right next door. Oh, yeah, another issue I had was I moved to Vancouver suddenly, like a week after signing up. Nope. Not convenient at all. They rope you in with this "woman safe space" which is complete BS when they obviously don't care about you, even when you get injured RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM.

It was me. My only complaints: They needed more times for cardio classes in the evenings, and they should be open later than 10pm. Otherwise, it doesn't cater to my student lifestyle and I could hardly be motivated to get up at 6am. Oh, and I hated the 2 year contract they bound me to.

Kind of like the best restaurants are the little hole-in-the-wall places with the best food. The Pilates Den is operated by a feisty, triathlete lady, Monika. She is trained to level 3 Pilates, which outclasses my humble Pilates Mat Level 1. Her studio has specialty equipment like the Pilates reformer and the Cadillac, along with the padded mats. There is nowhere to hide in a crowd, like some studios, so you are guaranteed to get the instruction (and results) that you came for. I had the privilege of one-to-one training as well as training with a local group of triathletes. While that workout caught my attention, I also noticed that my right hip (that I had injured in a motorcycle accident) stopped clicking and my lower back stiffness took a holiday. Note: Most of the parking is taken up by the Fitness World, so you are better off parking on the road near the White Spot.
