    No such thing as too muscular at this gym! But don't be intimidated. They are nice super hero…read morelooking people. I love going to Fitness Fx. If only for the fact that I am an average, skinny, 5'10 male. And a lot of the guys who go to this gym are professional body builder's! Its great to walk up to them lifting eighty pounds or more with one arm and I'm there with my nice and light fifteen or twenty pounds. I try to stare them down but they simply laugh at me. This gym boasts "a full stock of dumbbells ranging from 3 all the way up to 160 lbs." This is very true. I never find myself waiting for a dumbbell set because someone is using it. They have enough for everyone. And they are improving! they have added what they call a "cardio theatre." In other words, they have more cardio equipment. There is an open space concept which has its advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage is that everyone can see you while you are working out. But in my opinion, just get some confidence and remind yourself that no matter what body type you are, you rock! Then rock it out! The staff are very friendly and extremely helpful. If you start talking to them you find out right away that you feel part of a team or a family. They are there to support you. It feels more like a team or family first and a business second. Which is very important to me. They also have a juice bar and a lot of televisions so you can watch Oprah while on the cardio machines. Their prices are the same as most other gym's. Not very expensive but not quite cheap. In my opinion, you definitely are getting a good price. With the addition of new, on site tanning beds they are showing that they are keeping up with the competition at a steady pace. Fitness Fx has been one of my favorite gyms for all of the above reasons. But perhaps the reason why I give it a fourth star is because they are improving with new equipment, more programs and store renovations without increasing the price of their membership. One of the most admirable things I have seen a gym do in a long time! And I definitely took notice. So stop sitting around, reading my reviews and head for the gym! Afterwards get a protein shake and go back to reading my reviews. :)

    A great neighbourhood gym. When I first started coming here I didn't think they had enough cardio…read moreequipment - because that's my fall back - but once I became a regular I realized that's just not why people go to Fitness Fx. Whatever machine I'm interested in is usually available immediately or within 20 minutes. It's a very friendly place, and things are generally tidy and ready to use. I do find that depending on the time of day there are some folks who forget the "please don't drop your weights and scare the jittery among us" rule, and clang their weights pretty hard on the ground. That said, the management have responded well to this kind of problem and promised to remind repeat-offenders to control their dumbells lest they bounce on someone's toes and cause a more serious injury than a simple pulled hamstring. The rates are really reasonable, and they've been good lately at updating their class schedule too. ETA: Within hours of writing my review I went to get some exercise and found new cardio machines all set up! Well done, guys :)

    Been a Kinetics member for about 10 months as I write this. Joining has been one of the best…read moredecisions I ever made. I had been thinking about trying out Crossfit for a while so I decided to stop in and try them out. As soon as I walked in people came over to introduce themselves and say hi. Ryan, was running the classes and as it turns out is also one of the owners. He was extremely enthusiastic and set up some programming right away for my buddy and I that we could do as fit guys but who were new to Crossfit. Let's start with the coaches. The best thing about not just this gym but Crossfit in general is the availability of a coach/trainer at all times when you are there (think of what it costs for an hour of personal training at any "Globogym"). CFK is open from 6 am until 830 in the evening and there is a trainer there to help you, critique you, and of course encourage you at all times. They are awesome and enthusiastic people. Second is the members. The best part about this place is the people. Think about going to any normal fitness facility. What do you see? Everyone mindlessly walking around with earbuds in, not paying attention to anyone else. Not here. The tunes are pumping and everyone is working out and talking to each other, providing tips and advice or some fun banter back and forth. I can honestly say that I know 99% of the members here by name and the ones I don't are probably so new that I just haven't been there at the same time as them yet. You have people from all walks of life here. Students, young professionals, retirees, and everyone in between. There are social functions for special occasions like a Christmas potluck party, opening and closing the summer season, and sometimes just going out and hanging out for no real reasons other than it's a day that ends in Y. I highly encourage anyone of any fitness level to come in and give it an honest try. My guess is that you'll love it as much as I do.
