Change can happen suddenly, without any notice. When Orangetheory closed abruptly three weeks ago,…read moreI was left without a place to workout for the first time in five years. I was encouraged by friends to check out the FORT Strength Performance Centre on Cataraqui Woods Drive, which I did, and it has turned out to be the best decision I have ever made for my mind and body. Strength training is for everyone, regardless of age, ability, body type or even disabilities. I have a traumatic brain injury from multiple concussions. I also struggle with chronic depression and social anxiety disorder. My anxiety does not like change and starting over in new places with unfamiliar people. From my first visit until today's 17th workout, I have felt safe, welcome, and understood by owner Jeff Dawson and his team of experienced coaches. They will safely guide you through Hybrid and Lifestyle workouts that will challenge you mentally as well as physically. Whether your goals are small, big, or yet to be determined, let the staff and members at FORT Strength help you achieve them. We are a small community of caring individuals who will support you and encourage you along your journey to better mental and physical health. Take a chance. I did. You will not be disappointed. We are STRONGER together!

I stumbled into FSPC after my gym closed suddenly, and I didn't realize how much I needed the…read morechange. Fort is more affordable than my previous gym, less crowded, and incredibly welcoming. The coaches are well‑trained and they work out at the gym as well, which adds to the supportive atmosphere. The space isn't air‑conditioned, but the cooling fans and the open back area facing a green space make workouts comfortable. I also needed a gym where I could book sessions à la carte, and the app they use makes scheduling really easy. Overall, a great place to train with knowledgeable coaches and a flexible setup.

Went for a hot yoga class 2 years ago on a snowy blizzard day…read moreIt was cool and my first time. Mats are provided. The room was super humid and lots of humidifiers were there The instructor was good and I like that he/ the class wasn't overly spiritual and was more stretching and breathing exercises Haven't gone back since though

Went to a free Bikram class given for mother's day; a nice gesture, but unfortunately the class was…read moreawful. The instructor was kind of "manic-frazzled" and rushed...had a very unsettling vibe. Like many hot yoga studios, she spewed the usual stuff about "sweating out toxins" (what does that even mean???) and insisted on stretching until it hurt. Fine, whatever. The room was waaaaaaay too hot...mid-class it had reached nearly 133 degrees ferenheit, far above the105 degrees that is suggested for Bikram. I noticed several people laying down/feeling awful durng class....not a good sign. Overall, I didn't come away feeling confident that this studio realized the responsibility it has to not only offer hot yoga, but to do so in a safe and controlled environment.

The staff is wonderful. I don't have much stamina for looking for coordinating pieces, and even…read moreless stamina for trying things on, and the staff do all the searching, online and off, to help me find lovely items. These clothes, while pricey, last forever. I consider them an investment :)

I want people to know that the founder of this company has stated that the unacceptably 'sheer'…read morefabric of recent products is merely a sign that the consumer is too large to fit into them (he says the same of the recent pilling of fabric that never happened when the company first started). [The company has come under fire lately for the poor quality of its products]. He also has stated that he is not interested in selling to anyone who is larger than a size 12, clearly sending a message to the majority of Canadian women (the average size is 14) that they are 'not fit enough' to wear clothing to supposedly get 'fit' in. So, in essence, if you shop here, you are supporting a company whose founder blames his own mistakes in judgement on women who are larger than a size 12 for his products' inadequacies. Guess what? Women who are size 14 can read and we also can stop shopping at his stores. I have certainly made that decision. SEE: http://bc.ctvnews.ca/lululemon-founder-blames-women-s-bodies-for-pants-problems-1.1531351 If you care about women's rights and about body image issues, shopping here is like shooting yourself and your values in the foot, so to speak. In the past, I have purchased products from this local retailer because my daughters wanted them. I once asked a woman there to hold a $150 jacket until I could come back a few hours later and get it for my daughter, who was with me at the time. It was to be a Christmas present and I didn't want to spoil the surprise. The cashier was snotty and said that they did not 'hold' things for people. The way she said it made me feel like she didn't think I was really going to buy it. Nice! :( I did come back the next day and buy it, but have NEVER shopped there again. There are a lot of great sportswear companies to buy from in Canada. Lululemon is no longer a positive store, or a positive company. [Shopping nearly anywhere else would be better than Lululemon.] Do you really want to spend your money at a place where the founder states that they are not in the business of selling to women "whose thighs rub together"(as if our thighs are the REASON his clothing sucks). Insulting women's bodies is the wrong way to counter complaints about products that have been recalled due to quality problems. Don't give them another dollar of your money.

This is the studio that truly made me fall in love with yoga. So much so that I am now a YTT!…read more The classes are always so diverse and there are many different styles offered. The hot room is seriously HOT (which I love!). There is nothing more disappointing then showing up for a hot class that is more like warm or hot-ish. Not a problem at Samatva! The only downside to the studio is that classes are not carried out if less than 2 students attend. This has been an issue for me a couple of times which is a pain when you drive 20 mins into town just for class.
