Great circuit, good trainers, energy and the work out is only 30 minutes. It goes by very fast. I'm so happy I decided to go try something new. This is the kind of work outs I've been looking for and I love that it's women only. It's less intimidating and the trainers take very good care of you. To me, the hours work because no matter what, I know I will make it happen because I've found the kind of work out that is for me.

A complete waste of my money. I went to ONE workout, my very first, and severely sprained my knee…read moreand ankle. Like, POP and I screamed and fell to the ground in crazy pain. The trainer did NOTHING. She asked if I was ok as I sat on the floor in agony. I was the only person working out at that moment so you could HEAR the pop. I asked if I could have an ice pack or if they had a first aid kit and she said they did not. I asked if I could at least have a water from the refrigerator so I could stop the swelling and she did grant me that (but I had to give it back). I reported this and asked if I could end my contract but they did not allow me so I paid FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR. It's a year and a half later now and I'm still recovering from this. I'm still getting, "We miss you" emails from them which has engorged my rage and prompted me to warn others about this. If this doesn't stop you from signing up, check out their hours. They are absolutely HORRIBLE. For a person with regular work hours, not convenient at all. Unless you like live like right next door. Oh, yeah, another issue I had was I moved to Vancouver suddenly, like a week after signing up. Nope. Not convenient at all. They rope you in with this "woman safe space" which is complete BS when they obviously don't care about you, even when you get injured RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM.

I have been training with Tim from Positive Shift Health and Fitness for over 1.5 years. We started…read morein November 2014 with rehab style 30 minute sessions because I had a bad injury and now I do a full 1 hour session with him weekly. It is incredible how far I have come. Not only has he helped me get stronger and more fit but my injury has improved dramatically. Seeing Tim weekly keeps me on track and focused on being healthy. Tim is well educated, positive, kind, understanding, supportive and very reliable. He pushes me to work hard during my workouts and ensures that I am doing the exercises in the right way so I do not hurt myself. I would 100% recommend Tim to anyone looking for a great trainer who truly cares about your health and well being.

Kind of like the best restaurants are the little hole-in-the-wall places with the best food. The Pilates Den is operated by a feisty, triathlete lady, Monika. She is trained to level 3 Pilates, which outclasses my humble Pilates Mat Level 1. Her studio has specialty equipment like the Pilates reformer and the Cadillac, along with the padded mats. There is nowhere to hide in a crowd, like some studios, so you are guaranteed to get the instruction (and results) that you came for. I had the privilege of one-to-one training as well as training with a local group of triathletes. While that workout caught my attention, I also noticed that my right hip (that I had injured in a motorcycle accident) stopped clicking and my lower back stiffness took a holiday. Note: Most of the parking is taken up by the Fitness World, so you are better off parking on the road near the White Spot.

We were vising from the US and not used to seeing such great indoor facilities and kids activities…read moreat a city run aquatic center. It was a treat! The pool areas were very clean. The changing rooms were getting heavy use the day were there, considering that they were also clean. We used the family changing area and it was a little crowded, probably could have sent my husband and son off to the men's room. However we did have a shower and dedicated changing area after only a few minutes of waiting. The leisure pool was plenty big for the people there that Sunday. The toddler loved the easy entrance and stairs to get in and out and there were lots of floats around for the kids to play with! The older child (8) loved the slide. Yes it is short, but there was also no line at all and it was very fun with spirals and dips. Probably I would just shower the kids and towel them off next time (instead of trying to change them into dry clothes with the wet floor), but definitely worth it!

It's my first time getting a personal coach, and I'm thankful I did! Coach Seb did an amazing job introducing me to fitness, familiarizing me with gym machines, and setting up an appropriate exercise program for a beginner like me. Coach Seb was not just a coach, he became a friend and somewhat of a therapist ---- he ensured that I was mentally prepared and ready to start my exercises. He gave me helpful nutrition tips and he was always just a text away when I have questions. I highly recommend Coach Seb, he is not intimidating at all especially for gym beginners like me!

The good? Pretty empty, even during peak hours. This is likely due to all the bad I'll list below…read more The bad? Outdated equipment, a large amount of which is usually broken. Pretty unsanitary facility, the water tastes like there's mold in the lines, the front desk staff are usually pretty good, but anybody operating the rest of their customer service issues are rude, unhelpful, and ultimately just want to charge you for any fee they can. The price is very high for what you're getting. The classic gym that just wants you to sign a contract, and then bill you any and every chance they get. Their system repeatedly said my payment had declined (spoke with Visa, they had no part in this, and I am never even close to my limit, nor do I have this experience with the other dozen auto payments I have on my card). Repeatedly tried to resolve this with them, to no avail. To cancel? More fees, late charges, and additional membership payments due to their "policies". If you want to hit some barbell movements during peak hours, it's an alright gym. If you want a remotely positive experience, in absolutely any way, do NOT go to this gym.

However, I do understand where they're coming from. It's their job to make a sale. I don't blame them for being pushy. As for the cleanliness, I could only speak for the areas I see. The women's washrooms are definitely clean. The gym floor is also tidy, and the equipment is grouped nicely and well maintained. I did get the 6-month personal training. I did this to make sure I'm doing the correct excise for the right muscles. I'm not gym savvy, so I need help in this area. My PT's name is Elaine. She's wonderful. She does not only teach you the form, she tells who which muscle groups should be engaged and why it is important to work those muscles out. I am very much pleased with my training as I learn a lot. I am making the most out of it. As for my gym membership, I've only managed to take advantage of bodyjam class. This is a dance class and is so much fun. I like Maureen and Glen. I think they're both cool. I have yet to take the yoga class and RPM class (spin class). I'm pretty sure I will enjoy them too. One thing that needs improvement is the reception desk. I think some people at the reception are lazy. When I tried to leave a message for my PT, I was told that it's no guarantee that the message would reach my PT. WTH! Is it so hard to walk over the gym floor, look for the PT, and give the message?! I will not leave a message if it's not important. Duh!? Overall I would still recommend this gym. Oh and did I mention it's open 24 hrs?!!!
