What can I say? OTF is the best think that ever happened to my husband and me. We discovered OTF…read moreprior to their "soft" opening in December 2015 and had no idea what it was all about. Let me tell you. We have never looked back. Combined with better eating habits, we have lost weight, dropped a ton of body fat (I am at my lowest since I started measuring 20 years ago) but best of all my husband was able to drop all his cholesterol medication and I am down from 2 prescription to the minimum does available (which I am hoping to shed within the next few months). OTF Waterloo is my "other" family The workouts are exhausting yet exhilarating. We rarely miss a day because the trainers are just awesome. They all make sure that you give your best and a little extra to ensure that you keep progressing. We are currently on vacation and every time I see an OTF post I am reminded that I will be able to get back soon. Thank you OTF for changing our lives !

Good choice of machines and friendly staff. However, the pool is unusable for real swimming. The…read morewater kept at a too warm temp (they tell me it is 82f). It feels more like a bathtab than a swimming pool. And in fact it is practically empty even in the busiest gym times. Just the same, they put the nice picture of the pool on every add. This borders with misleading advertisement.

I went here to the pool a few months ago. I liked the place and enjoyed my experience there…read more When I came there I asked about the place and the staff were nice and descriptive so I could understand where everything is. Since I was a member, I was quickly able to check-in to the pool. When I went into the Locker Room, the place was quiet and it was clean(everything was clean technically), which I liked. I loved how they had kids take tests for things like: Going to the Deep End and allowed to swim, so they would be safe. I also liked the jacuzzi they had. I will definitely come back here someday!

I've been to several GoodLife's in Toronto, and thought that the one Downtown (informally known as…read morethe flagship) would be as good as it gets, at least in terms of amenities. But this gym in Waterloo beats them all! It's absolutely huge with two floors and a women's area (separately equipped with several squat racks). Classes are numerous and varied - they also offer hot yoga. Best of all, I'm not sure if it's because I always go in the morning, but the place is NEVER CROWDED. After my first time here, I was so surprised at the emptiness of the gym that I asked the girl at the front if this was a one-off thing, and she told me that no, this was actually considered "pretty busy". Well, guess I can't complain :) The service here is also exceptional - the staff members are so friendly and nice! You would certainly never be greeted going out the door and told to have a nice day at a GoodLife downtown!

LIl's is pretty much perfect. Craig has created a motivating, chill, professional, place/space and…read moreteam. Dan is the best private trainer I could imagine. He knows his stuff- and he is supportive, challenging, and an amazing role model for balancing fitness of mind and body. If you care as much about the 'why' as you do the "what", Dan has so much to teach you without ever mansplaining. Nothing hidden at this gym- costs of different programs and training are all transparent (and very fair). It's a little badass to get to (behind an old church), but kinda feels like the kind of place Rocky would have taken Adrian to work out.

This little fitness class just started in Kitchener and it doesn't take long to see that Nicole…read moreThorne, who runs the classes herself, really knows what she is doing. She starts off with a one-on-one meeting to go over what exactly you are looking to do fitness-wise (and as we are women, we probably all have the same goal - flat tummy, nice bum, tone arms and legs etc.) and then she gets you started. The classes are two times a week (Tuesday and Thursday) and you can choose either early morning or evening. She is also a specialist in postnatal fitness and does "mummy tummy repair" as she calls it. Right from the first class you can tell the workout is having an effect and despite how easy it seemed to be, the day after you feel the burn, which is exactly what I look for! Her prices are also way cheaper than most and she gives excellent value.
