The heat relaxes tight muscles and I can even tolerate summer heat better, now. I knew fitness classes were not my thing, but I took one to make the quota for a challenge. Now I go to a variety of fitness classes nearly every day + go to deep stretch classes. I've had my membership for 3 years, and it's very reasonable. The facility is clean, the staff are knowledgeable and helpful. Classes are very comfortable as the lighting is dim and we are always encouraged to work to our own level and not risk injury. I am thrilled with the results of my membership. Classes have improved my strength, mobility, energy and pain levels, skin and mood. It's a happy and comfortable place to go to. As to another review, letting surfaces air dry, rather than rubbing with a cloth is the standard procedure in hospitals for disinfection, as it permits the solution to sit on the surface longer.

I have been to only one class, so I can't say too much about their classes and instructors. The…read moreclass was fairly full so the facility seems popular enough, although I will not go to a class with that instructor again. I noticed that Oxygen has really streamlined the business and minimized costs. It's located in a shopping plaza. It might be different during the day, but for an evening class there were no staff, and the participants waited outdoors for the instructor, then checked themselves in on an iPad. There are no changerooms, just two bathrooms and a single shower (which appeared unused despite this location being 100% hot yoga). We were asked to leave our clothes and valuables by the (locked) front door... there was no other storage for clothes, and I think many people left their coats in their cars. At the end of the class, we were asked to spray our borrowed blocks but no need to wipe them (no paper or cloth towels available - again less overhead costs). I think the owner of this business has a good thing going, from their perspective at least.

Oh, and they have an awesome payment option!!! It's a sliding scale between $20-$40 per treatment. You just tell them how much you'd like to pay, they have a sheet showing their suggestion based on your income. PS - I also get my hair cut next door and they're pretty fab too!!! :)

Coming out of the pandemic I was looking for a place that could get me back in shape - with an emphasis on functional fitness. Sarah-Jane has created a terrific facility and has great trainers. She understood what I was looking for and matched me with a great trainer. Nicky has challenged me and ensures the exercises I do are appropriate for how I'm feeling that day and my particular issues. I work more in one hour than I would do in two hours on my own and come away tired but inspired. I also appreciate that every body type and fitness level are accommodated and I don't feel out of place. The staff and clients are all supportive and I actually look forward to going! If you want to make an investment in yourself this is a great place to do that! Almost 2 years later - haven't had to go back to physiotherapy and I'm feeling better than I have in years. Workouts are always changing - and I'm never bored. Now ten pounds lighter, but more importantly I feel stronger and healthier. Still love coming here - who'd have thought I'd enjoy exercise so much! Nicky motivates me to strive for increased strength and stability and my mood is always improved by the time I leave. Would highly recommend!

Choosing to work with Wes Kennedy and his team has been one of the best decisions I have ever made…read more My program is tailored to my specific strengths and weaknesses and is always changing to get me where I need to be. My favorite part about working with Wes is the no BS approach. He gives me all the tools I need to aspire, grow, and excel but I am the one responsible to give it 100% every day. Because of coaching from Wes and a lot of hard work I am selected as a Clearance Diver in the CAF and I couldn't be happier.

Finished a consult with Wes. Really had a negative experience with both searching for more…read moreinformation and talking to Wes. Wes uses very heavy handed used car sales man tactics to recruit. Expect to fill out multiple page surveys with a lot of personal information and have a phone call with him before you get any real information. Expect him to ask you multiple times are you a f@#$ yes or f@#$ no to signing up for a 12 month commitment before he will even tell you the cost. Expect to hear some lame analogies about why he won't tell you the cost up front when you ask him. Lots of smoke and mirrors. He will go thru multiple questions such as "what value do you bring to our group" without really explaining what his group is or how it works. He won't answer your questions until you answer all of his. Expect to have to sell yourself to him to be part of his training group. And you better be willing to sign on the dotted line before you hang the phone up. No talking it over with the wife, no sleeping on it, you better make the decision then to sign up for a 12 month commitment or you're not worth his time. Felt like I was talking to a used car salesman with all the heavy handed pressure and sign now or quit wasting my time attitude going on. To save people the hassle and pain of jumping thru all their hoops like I did the breakdown is basically this. Don't expect to work with Wes. He has a wait list and even if you're on the wait list you'll probably end up working with another coach. The only option you have is to sign up for the Facebook group page where he posts a few different workouts. You also get access to the Facebook group where you can interact with other people who are in the program. Cost = $99usd a month with a mandatory 12 month commitment. So $1188 total. If you do decide you are willing to wait for a personal coaching slot to open up the cost will $399 a month. Mandatory 12 month commitment to sign up. So $4788 usd total. And don't forget you better damn well make the decision before you hang up or you're not a good fit. If people have had success with the program then I am sincerely happy for them. However you can find better programs out there for a LOT LESS MONEY. For example SOFLETE which is ran by former special operations members costs $25 usd a month and you can cancel at any time. Gives you an online program, lets you interact with other people just like Wes's program, and some extra stuff on top of that. All information is found up front and the cost is found easily on the website. No smoke and mirrors and a bunch hoops to jump thru. Overall Wes came across like a jerk who acted like he was doing me a big favor even to consider me for his training program. After reflecting on our conversation no way would I choose to work with this group after seeing how they treat potential customers. Also for the price you can find a lot better then what they provide somewhere else.

Perhaps, it was not the owner the previous commenter was dealing with. Beyond being kind, the owner takes great care to make sure people avoid injury or alters exercises individually for those that are injured.
