This has been a terrible experience for me and has become a source of real trauma. I started my gym…read moremembership in March 2024 but was only able to attend for less than 10 days due to ongoing health issues. When I signed the contract, Jaff assured me that I could cancel the membership anytime by providing one month's notice. I was also told that one additional fee would be deducted before the cancellation was processed. However, it is now May 2025, and despite sending over 20 emails and repeatedly requesting cancellation--more than 100 times--my membership has still not been terminated. On May 10, I relocated to India for medical reasons. I submitted my employment letter, flight ticket, and boarding pass as proof that I am no longer in Canada, and once again asked for the membership to be canceled. Yet, no one is responding appropriately or taking action. I genuinely don't understand why this is happening. This mishandling is causing me unnecessary distress during an already difficult time.

I stated that I was interested in getting a membership but wanted to try out the gym first so inquired about drop in fee. I was advised they would charge me $20.00, though I could get in free if I go with my husband or tenant, I just wanted to work out earlier and didn't want to wait for either. I asked them what the monthly membership fee was, they replied, it's $15.00 a month to utilize 1 location. I then said, I know two people who already have memberships already who live in the same household, I just want to try out the gym as I was thinking about purchasing my own membership however, you still want to charge me $20? teply "yes" I understand they need to charge a drop in fee, I think I would treat every situation a bit different depending on circumstance. If I cannot prove Vy on my drivers license, that two other members of the gym lived in my household, I can understand that reply since there are people who will lie about things like that. It really makes me sad because I wanted to train there and have the option to work out with my husband or my tenant if I wanted to, however that experience made me not want to go to the gym ever

I came in here thinking I already knew a ton about strength training and fitness in general, but…read moreboy was I humbled by the sheer knowledge in this place. Other than being experts in their fields both as individuals and as a team, the staff here are genuinely friendly and supportive. The personalized programs and heartfelt 1:1 training and attention are invaluable. They really help you to feel, connect with, and use the correct muscles - instead of just "going through the movements". This maximizes my time and my workouts at the gym and I've seen more progress than ever before. StrongSide is NOT ANYTHING LIKE Crossfit, and in fact many people working out here are rehabilitating from injuries, dealing with chronic illnesses, or maybe starting a fitness journey for the very first time. This gym is not competitive, and is genuinely upbeat and fun. You will find people from all walks of life sharing this comic-book themed gym. Did I mention it's dog friendly? If you want to have effective and efficient workouts, done with proper form, tailored for you and your goals, with help from professionals and support from other gym goers, this is the place for you! Normally personally training would set me back $75 a session for someone worth their salt. This gym is a fraction of the cost, with all the benefits and more. They also do a free neurokinetic assesment so you can come in and see if you think it would be a good fit, which I really appreciated as a skeptic! I was sold immediately and am stronger and healthier than ever.

Around 2 years ago, I was in daily pain due to muscle imbalances and poor posture from scoliosis,…read moredespite going to a gym regularly. Taking classes just wasn't helping, and I was using pain medication daily, even just to find enough comfort to fall asleep. Thankfully I found Strong Side. The whole team of trainers is so knowledgeable; they truly care and really listen. The personalized programs yield real results - more than I could have hoped for. The entire gym is so welcoming, with a genuine sense of community from both the staff and the members. I don't need pain meds anymore, and I enjoy setting and meeting fitness goals under their guidance and expertise. Highly recommend.

This is probably the best gym I have been to. Not for the aesthetics, but for the amount of…read moreequipment and space this place has. Plus i love that there are TONS of leg machines. My favourite day of the week is LEG DAY...so this is perfect given that i murk my legs each workout..thanks to this gym. My husband and I always visit when we are back in town and to be honest - anywhere we go we try to find a gym just like this one. Not crowded, tons of machines.. and people who are there to WORK OUT. . . I miss ultimate fitness and cant wait to go back once i return from ATL. :) Yeah this gym is expensive, but i rather pay $$ for a gym that has equipment and space than pay 10$ at steve nashs for a shitty gym with bunch of idiots. I hate because i have been there and its nothing but a creep sesh for bunch of roided monkeys. OBVIOUSLY, i rather shell out money for a good place where i know people are there to workout and not creep or chit chat. This is a raw gym - and its good for people looking to gain mass and strength. If you are looking for tvs on treadmills, or if you want some attention then THIS is NOT the gym for you. =) A++++++

Grim's Gym is a little tough to find. It's situated in a warehouse on Spring Street behind the main…read morestreet of Port Moody, St. John Avenue. The place is huge. They turned a massive warehouse into a workout mecca. There is a massive gym space filled with free weights and machines. In the back o the main floor, they have a whole section for legs. In the front when you first walk in, there is a big section of cardio machines. They have a big screen TV to watch as you do your workout. The gym is fully secure as well. You have to use a key card to enter the fitness area. The locker rooms are fully secure with a shower and private washroom facilities. There is an upstairs section that divides into an ab and stretch area. There is a full boxing area and dance/aerobics/yoga area too. Also, behind closed doors is a woman's only section. I personally don't know what's in there, but I bet it's hot! Sorry... They hve good kids working at the front desk who will cook you an after workout meal or make you a shake. Good place to train. Check it out as a member or a drop in for $5.

Truly a hidden gem, this gym is tucked inside a residential complex in the Lougheed area…read more Definitely a no-frills kind of gym, the equipment and decor isn't the newest and the bathrooms are kind of cramped, but they have mostly everything that you would need in a gym and they are undergoing renovations. My favourite aspects of this gym are the 4 squat racks and deadlift area which are still not too common. At my previous gym, I always found myself waiting for the one squat rack. Here, there isn't much of a wait. People seem friendly and put away their weights, there is free parking, membership is on par with chain-gyms, and there's a pool too. Also, the people coming here seem to be on a time-crunch and don't stall or look at their phones as much. They seem to know what they are doing so sharing equipment is much easier. For those used to the nicer-looking chain-gyms, the weights don't go up increments of 2.5lb if you're used to that. People who are not used to only using free-weights and want to use machines may find that F2K doesn't offer enough variety of gym machines, nor are they very new. The TVs are also limited, not sure if that's a pro or con to some people. Overall, this is a good gym. I hope not too many people come here and ovecrowd it. Also, sometimes they blast Adele on the speakers. I think good-taste is important in a gym, don't you?

I was pregnant, and as it was a risky pregnancy, I asked to freeze my membership. The staff member on the phone was very helpful and informed me that they would call me BEFORE I would be charged, close to the end of the period of freeze. They didn't call me and I WAS CHARGED even though I was unable to practice any physical activity. I didn't receive any refund, even I saying that I could send them the doctor's note. 2. Then, with a newborn at home, I requested the freeze again in a different period, and 2 days later, I WAS CHARGED. This is unacceptable. It is no the customer problem how is the financial dynamic of the company. We didn't receive the refund! Finally, we requested to cancel the membership and also because we moved to Calgary. The staff member said that they need 30 days notice - what wasn't informed to us when we signed up. We said that we wanted to cancel right away and we also requested our refund for what we were charged on the 2nd time. The lady said that she would cancel it but the refund could not be made. At the end of the day, we basically paid the 30 days notice with the money that we should receive as a refund (for the 2nd inappropriate charge). We feel extremely harmed by this company, we feel that we were charged inappropriately. This is a company that cannot be trusted and that does not treat its customers honestly. If you want to avoid headaches, avoid GoodLife Fitness.

Even if it was a misunderstanding, the approach was embarrassing enough that I no longer feel comfortable coming back to the gym.

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.
