Why would anyone join a gym without trying the gym first? To add insult Sue stated that by not having a trial pass "this would separate the boys from the men". Which would imply that I am a boy because I wanted a trial pass. Do I look like a boy? I did not get a membership to this gym and will not join. Allowing a first time user to come doesn't even cost the gym anything an additional operating cost. - The decor in some parts is a bit off, the back of the cardio room used to be a bar and looks like it is caged. - The retail store looks pretty sad as well - They have about 400 members and many do not come regularly - They have tanning beds, you really shouldn't be tanning as UV rays cause skin cancer Protip - Try Nanaimo Athletic Centre 5 min up Bowen road, it's a smaller in terms of space but they have a sense of community and over 600 members from what I can tell. See my review https://www.yelp.ca/biz/nanaimo-athletic-club-nanaimo Damage $11 for a day pass $2 for parking!

Will's education and skills have taken me from the point of having been scheduled for double knee replacement to mobility and ability to easily manage long walks and stairs, both challenging in the past.

Fine Balance Pilates is the best! Owner/instructor Margaret Merrett has developed quite the…read morefollowing of fitness enthusiasts over the years an when you take her classes, you will see why . Margaret Merrett has been working in the fitness industry for over 25 years, and is a fully certified Pilates Teacher and a BCRPA Personal Trainer. She is enthusiast, an always cheerful. Classes are kept small enough that even though ythere are others in the room, she gives individual attention and is always quick to modify exercies to your particular needs. She offers reformer pilates, matt pilates, spinning classes, and more..... I am hooked on the reformer pilates because you can't cheat while doing the exercises and her routines are always varied so it's never the same thing twice. In the past I have gone to a traditional gym and always got bored and never saw the results I wanted. With reformer pilates, it only takes a few weeks and you will see the results. What I notice about Margaret's studio that sets her apart from many of the others is her quality of instruction and standards for her other instructors. I've been to other fitness studio's whose client base is based on the following of the owner/operator. The thing I found;however, is when the owner/operator is away or has a sub, I have always been left feeling like "that was a waste of my time because _____________ was not here to instuct." With Margaret's other instructors or the rare time she has a sub, I am NEVER left feeling that. She has high stanards for herself including her other instructors. Exceptional fitness instruction all-round.
