Equilibria has been very helpful during my 3-year fitness journey. 3 factors contributed to this excellence: 1) professional and knowledgeable instructors 2) supportive and friendly community 3) proper meal plans and lifestyle advice. A growing and good administrative t.e.a.m. ("together everyone achieves more") rounds out a polished experience. read more

Equilibria - Smiling Us'n . . . - Trainers Near Me - Surrey, British Columbia

What a difficult business to get a ahold of. I understand covid has put fitness studios along with many other businesses under intense pressure but after months of trying to connect with a living person there through email, phone messages and Facebook direct messages I realize I am probably just being ignored I would never go to a business that has such poor follow up customers with outstanding issues in regards to being owed money. read more

Didn't like the "lose weight for free" advertising for 6 week challenge. It's not free. I enjoyed the early morning availability for classes and that they were quick and effective. I lost 12 lbs in just over 2 months. My overall fitness level has gone up. Down fall is it's expensive. I think if you can stick with the program it absolutely works. When I wanted to sign up I got calls and texts regularly..when I wanted to cancel my membership It was difficult to get a hold of anyone. I left several messages and sent 2 emails and finally got a response after I texted Juan saying no one is getting back to me I want to give my 30 day notice. All in all I would say this a a good gym, the trainers are fun and you will see results. Just very expensive over almost $150/ month including taxes. read more

Feb 4, 2019, I started a weightloss challenge with Equilibria Specialty Fitness in the Langley/Surrey area. The challenge is based on your BMI, and you either had to lose 25 pounds, or 10% body weight, or 10% body fat. I had to lose 25 pounds in 6 weeks or 42 days. MOTIVATION: Kids and getting back my $500.00+tax deposit. If you reach your goal, you get back your $$$!!! Amazing right?? That's why they say "FREE 6 WEEK CHALLENGE/42 DAY DETOX CHALLENGE!" March 16, 2019 was the day of my weigh-in, and my results??? I lost 24.6 pounds, so I was off by 0.4 pounds, and also lost my $500 dollars...I SERIOUSLY CRIED. PROS: -I lost weight -increased fitness level -realized the importance of drinking water -better sleeping patterns -learned about portion control and how to deal with cravings -met the BEST fitness instructor ever-- Rosanna -felt like a UFC fighter trying to lose 10 pounds in 1 week (I was only losing 3 pounds a week) CONS: -feel that the plan given for my category is unattainable (I know this is not a "magic pill")..therefore, setting me up for failure -during the info session I was advised of the extremely high success rate, however my group and the people I asked around the gym were not going to achieve their goal, or never won their challenge -I followed their nutrition program, completed their 18 fitness classes and doubled their suggested by also attending infrared hot yoga classes -based on the gyms Instagram posts, the average weight lost is ~18 pounds -based on the gyms testimonies, I found 2 success stories for my category -our failure is their success -is this even ethical? -unable to speak to the owner after completing the challenge If you are looking for results, and value for your , I would agree this is a great program. I felt misled because losing 25 pounds in 6 weeks/42 days on their specific nutrition/fitness plan was not enough, and therefore I lost my $500 deposit. I know this gym has transformed lives, and so I'm not trying to discourage anyone from joining this gym, because if you want massive change, you've got to take massive action (TR). I just want you to make an informed decision. You just have to do the program 300% (200% was not enough). Start from the moment you attend your info session, no cheating, and workout every single day. read more

Great gymn the boot camps great Yoga instructor are top notch

The classes are alright, the instructors are decent. The pricing is outrageous and all over the place. It is not easy to get a straight answer. Plus no one ever answers the phone. I saw that there was a groupon - $29 for 2 weeks, or $59 for a month. Then when I met with the owner he charged me $49 for 2 weeks. At the end of the two weeks he said I could pay $180 a month for 3 classes a week or $185 a month for unlimited. I asked to then do the groupon for a month for $59 - he said no. The website says unlimited all day is $105-185 a month, and unlimited mornings is $77-107. Then the app says completely different numbers. I feel slightly scammed. read more

There are two aspects to this review. The training/classes and the 6-week fitness challenge. The training/classes are great - good trainers and you have variety each time. The price is comparable to other gyms - even high based on what you get and some of the availability of classes, There are lots of options out there - just make sure it's right for you. The "free" 6-week challenge is one that requires review based on your needs to lose weigh and your commitment to losing it. They have some real flaws in their program and again - for the money.... there are other options that are more reasonably sustainable and "natural" for losing weigh. Review carefully and while you sign a contract with all sorts of commitments on your side...... make sure you understand (and perhaps get them to sign in writing) their commitment to you on your weigh loss journey. read more

BUYER BEWARE!!!! This gym is absolutely terrible!!! Be careful or you will also get scammed. It's a small family owned business that doesn't have set rules in place. The owner, Kathie makes decisions up depending on her mood that day. She has a terrible reputation! I joined the gym back in 2016 before my wedding and absolutely loved it! I renewed my contract when it was up and signed on for another year. A couple months after signing I got pregnant and had to put my membership on hold. (I was extremely sick and didn't feel comfortable working out during my pregnancy). I am now 5 months post pregnancy and ready to get back into some classes. I emailed Kathie at equilibria saying I was ready to take my membership off hold and it took her over a week to get back to me. She wrote back stating that in her opinion too much time had passed - she had no idea I was pregnant and if I would like to start up I would have to buy a new package?? This is coming from a lady that has just had a baby herself and should understand that I'm not going to start working out immediately after a c section. I was apparently supposed to announce my pregnancy to her because she had no idea? I asked her if she could show me the rules in writing that states how long you can put a membership on hold for and that I could get her a doctors note proving that I was pregnant and I have not gotten any response back! I have paid for 7 months of 150$ a month up front and she will not get back to me. I have been scammed! I have now taken them to small claims where they will help me get reimbursed. In the meantime, I wanted to send out a warning so that other people are aware of this business and how they treat their clients! I have a handful of friends that speak very poorly of this gym as well and claim that their monthly pricing and policy is all over the map. You have been warned! read more

I joined a 6 week challenge that I shouldn't have. The cost was double what other boot camps cost. And it achieved the same results as other boot camps. The difference was Equilibria is a deposit of 499 that you get back IF you achieve the body fat reduction percentage they give you. Only problem is the instrument they use to measure your body fat percentage is not accurate. I lost 10 pounds and with the first 5 I lost 3 percent body fat. I lost another 5 was measured again and the Instrument said I gained half my body fat back. I asked how on earth I could have GAINED fat when I lost 10 pounds and several dress sizes. I was asked if I was dehydrated and if so then the instrument is not accurate. I just woke up so obviously needing yo drink some water. I was refused my money back of another opportunity to come back hydrated. This is a scam. Just go to a gym and workout. And save your pocketbook. BBB complaint made. Headed to small claims court. What a nightmare read more

Very misleading and holds back a lot of information. 6 week challenge is not free, it costs more then the weekly membership, which is already over priced. The coaches give very vague responses when you ask a question. There scales are out. I used 2 different weights (12lbs and 4lbs) on the gyms scale and a few different scales outside of the gym. All scales were the same (12lbs and 4lbs), except for equilibrium which came in higher (12.6lbs and 4.5lbs). The mid way meeting isn't so much about how you are doing and what needs to be adjusted to help you win the challenge, it's a sales pitch for commiting to a year memebership (very expensive). When I said I wanted to talk to my husband about possible spending more money, Juan was getting frustrated and started to question why I needed to talk to my husband and I should be able to do what I want. A very rude response! Even if you do win the challenge there ends up being a number of steps to go through to get your money back. All of which they are not clear from the start. If you don't like being scammed, don't sign up for EQ. read more

These people know nothing about nutrition. They promise you a customized meal plan. It is one size fits all for your weight. I got on for 150 and under. It did not work for me. Their reasons were that I am not working hard enough in the classes. Which was bullshit. I was insulted by the so called personal trainer that my heart rate was the lowest. Another trainer asked two women in another class I was in their heart rate and they said 99. He also told me 1 cup of broccoli is way too much??? Lame excuses. There is no real personal trainer it is just a chat app that they respond to you on. They do not listen to your concerns or care if you are getting results. I asked for my money back and lucky for me I got a phone call and they were canceling me and were going to mail me a cheque I asked to pick it up and they would not let me. hmmmm I wonder why. I only lost 1 lb in 3 weeks and they tried to make it look like my fault. If I had low self esteem this could have put me in distress. They told me that I need to go to a doctor when I told them that I am lacking something in this diet and that I am 1 in 100 that they can't help. What happened to we can help every woman because we studied how to help them loose weight. Another false statement. They couldn't help me. I did not listen to their bull shit and I immediately signed up on Tuesday with Orange Theory. Their workouts are amazing. I changed my eating plan and but bak what was missing and I already lost weight and it has been only 3 days. They have the science backing them and you will get AMAZING RESULTS with Orange Theory. They are not as expensive either. Don't waste your hard earned money on false promises. I got told they don't guarantee anything but NO AMAZING RESULTS. Getting in to classes is a pain because it is always WAIT LISTED. Yeah that happens but when you go to the schedule there is rarely spots available. Don't listen to the BMI bullshit they must work for Equilibria. I am telling the truth of exactly what happened to me. She may have had a good experience but other people have not and have a right to speak their piece. Buyer Beware read more
