I had to line up just to get changed. Facility it self sucks. You get what you pay for. here's a kicker, they tell you no cancelation fees then when you go to cancel they tell you that you have to still pay for another month. That's a cancelation fee!!!! you cancel because you dont want to go there so why would I want to go for another month? avoid this place and pay for somewhere else a bit more. This place is a dump.

The free weight area is not big enough and I witnessed people ready to fight each other as the fly benches do not have enough space between each other. The smell of the mens washroom is sickening, and the urinal will not flush. The gym floor has lights burnt out everywhere. Come on management, lets get on the ball or get on the bus.

A little while back I noticed Leduc was getting a Planet Fitness, and they've recently opened. I…read moreknow I need to start working out, and I'm not the kind of person to work out at home or outside. But I also get intimidated by going to the gym. Actually I haven't been to the gym for several years (even with the pandemic). Still I was interested in joining Planet Fitness because their membership rates are pretty cheap. I actually signed up online, because I didn't want a sales pitch. I got the basic membership ($15/month, plus a $40/year fee and a one-time $1 sign up fee). The membership is only good my this gym, and doesn't some perks (like there's a spa you can use at the higher level), but for what a need the basic is good. So I popped into Planet Fitness today. There were several staff members working and a few people signing. Since I already got my membership I was told by a staff member to just use the app to check in. Apparently, the used to have key tags but with Covid it's easier with the app. It loads a barcode that scan super easy. They I was asked if I wanted tour, which I did. I was shown around and given information about the equipment. I don't how large this Planet Fitness is compared to other locations, but it's a good size gym. There's lots of cardio machines, and I like with the weight machines there are photos on the machine to show you how to use it. The staff made to sure to share that Planet Fitness is a judge-free zone, and if I have any questions about anything to just ask. They also have a 30-minute circuit, and I was told when they get a personal that they'll be offering an abs and a yoga class. Not sure if that's drop in or if you need to sign up. I only stayed for about 30 minutes. I did a few minutes on an elliptical. I like that the cardio machines have a headphone jack so you can watch the tvs the have or listen to your own music. There's also a usb port to charge your phone. And I did a few of the weight machines and was able to figure things out. Each machine also has a QR code and you can scan it on the app and see a video on using each machine. And I didn't use the showers, but the locker room is very nice. Everything was super clean (obviously you're asked to wipe down machines before and after use). And when I was there maybe there was 4 other people working out. The app will tell you if the club is busy, so if you want to avoid working out when it's busy that's a nice feature. I've only been once, but I had a good first impression. And I appreciate on the tour that I wasn't being upsold on the other membership (which I think is about $25/month, so not unreasonable). Downside is that the location is in Leduc Common and this area of town isn't my favourite to drive in. But to go to the gym a few times a week it's not that bad. And if you go make sure to bring a lock for the lockers (day use only) because if you want to buy one it's $12 (which is almost the price of the monthly membership). That was my bad, but still that's a huge markup, so save yourself some cash and bring a lock. But overall I like the atmosphere, the staff, and there's certainly a lot of equipment to get good work out.

Special shoutout to Natalie for making class enjoyable, challenging, and for her careful attention to our form while doing weights.

I have never had a membership to World Health Club so I can't comment on any pushy salespeople but…read morehave had the opportunity to visit and try out a few of their clubs. I've been to the Glenora location a few times; once for a class and the other time to work out on the machines. The last visit was to work out on a Saturday morning. The locker area is spacious and clean. The layout works that not everyone is in one area with one row of lockers like as some gyms. There are the full body length and half size lockers which is great and you need to bring your own lock. There are benches scattered around by the lockers. There are big mirrors, hairdryers, lotions, and I think even hairspray! There's a door to separate the lockers from the toilets and the shower area. The showers are huge and private, and they provide shampoo, conditioner, and soap. I didn't even need to bring a towel as they provide that as well! I went to the cardio machines where they have rows of bikes, ellipticals, and treadmills. I hopped on an elliptical but I didn't see the antibacterial wipes, which I like to use to wipe the machine before I use it in case the person before me didn't. The machines are great with each having their own tv and lots of channels! It makes the time go be quickly. I noticed where a few people were going to get wipes so I got some to clean my machine down. The free weights and weight machine area had lots of options so it wasn't too crowded. There were benches unoccupied it's nice there's room for everyone in the area. I also think there's a Women's Only area upstairs but I didn't check it out. Closer to the front by the offices are chairs which is great if you are waiting for a friend to come out of the locker area. The shoe area is also big so shoes are on top of each other. Great gym!

A couple of months later, I have to return to take off a star. If you'd like to see my thoughts on…read morethe workout experience at Orangetheory, please expand my previous review for more details. Since doing the single class in August, I've been bothered by weekly phone calls asking me to come back for more classes. The voicemails left have varying details, with some saying I can have more free classes, others saying I can access an introductory rate, and even others saying that I signed up as a lululemon practice member, but then didn't attend the class. Many other studios I have visited called or emailed with follow-up, but left it at a single call or message. Pro tip for management: if I didn't call you back after the first, second, third or fourth calls, then a fifth probably isn't necessary. I really hate high pressure sales tactics, and the predatory nature of some private gym chains. I'm pretty unimpressed with this business model, and won't be returning for more classes, free or otherwise.

The staff is super friendly at this location. I ended up forgetting my gym shoes here and…read morethankfully they don't throw anything out at the end of the night! This is an insanely busy location. I'm honestly not used to the sheer amount of people who go here. I thought downtown was busy but this is nothing. Almost every class is waitlisted! I think there are people here signing up months in advance which is totally admirable, but makes it hard to get in. The classes that I recommend are in the afternoon, and that works for me since I work from home. If you're trying to get in before work it'll be tough... not going to lie. The layout of this OTF is old-school. They have that back area where it just feels like there isn't enough room for the weight part of the classes. You feel very cramped when working out and the TRXs are not aligned with the benches, so you need to use them at an angle. There is, however, parking! Which I love! Can't hate on parking.

I came for a group trial class last month and loved it!…read more If I lived southside I would be looking at drop in passes or membership here no doubt! The owner, Shara, taught us a group class and I loved it! She asked us about any injuries and took the time to come around and check in with us during our circuits for any modifications required. You'd be surprised how 30 second stations can kick challenge you yet leave you with enough energy to keep going. The warm up with the bands around our ankels, knees, and thighs was super challenging but also somehow stabilizing and didn't both my knees or back one bit! I loved the teamwork and atmosphere. The location is a bit off the beaten track in an industrial area but not a big deal. The inside is absolutely gorgeous! I noticed a sign that they also have "cold baths" and a "sauna." Sounds like the perfect way to end a workout here! I would absolutely recommend SVPT to anyone looking to challenge their fitness routine!

The other morning after some local MMA fights (and maybe a bit of overindulgence in the Strongbow…read moredepartment) I dragged my face off my pillow and joined my partner and other local mma fighter at SVPT to see what the hype is all about. I train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at Complete Martial Arts and Fitness alongside some of the best MMA fighters in the city, including a couple UFC fighters - they all do personal training at SVPT and only say the best things about owner Shara Vigeant and her facility. Upon my 9am arrival at the centre, I was greeted at the door by 2014 Global Women of Vision 2014 award recipient Shara herself. She was bright eyed and bushy tailed with a smile and showed me where to put my things. After taking a gander at the walls lined with signed glossies of winning athletes singing Shara and her trainers' praises, she had me sign a waiver and get right out on the turf. Our session started with a warmup. We did a bit of foam rolling, some stretches, box jumps, chucked a medicine ball around. I started breaking a sweat right away, but I wasnt uncomfortable. As we were working, Shara asked me about previous experience with working out, the gym, my jiu jitsu classes, etc. I am a complete beginner and have never experienced any form of serious gym workout or personal training. I was in for a treat! I had a great time sweating my ass of and hauling my weight around. I was amazed to see the strength and stamina of the athletes I was working alongside. The workout was quick paced and interesting. Absolutely challenging and even fun. I learned how to swing a kettle bell around, use some resistance bands, do squats with an elevated leg (tough one!) and even pushed a weighted sled back and forth - all the while thinking: My ass is gonna look great. The SVPT facility is incredible. Larger than I thought it would be and Immaculately clean. The air is fresh and moving, clean towels and access to water bottle refill station are available to clients. I'm no expert on what makes for up to date things at the gym, but the equipment seemed new, modern and well maintained. Half of the floor is green astroturf (all the better to push a sled across, i guess!) The garage style door at the back allows for natural light to come in as the sun comes up. After my session, I mopped the sweat from my head and headed towards the change room to shower and change. The beautiful modern change rooms were like walking into a washroom in a showhome - except times six! A line of sparkling showers with temperature controlled taps (not like the push-button, lukewarm and timed showers at gyms and pools) were closed in their own cubicles with private changing area. Clean sinks and well lit mirrors (even a little basket with some toiletries you may have forgotten) would make SVPT a great place to start your day and still be able to freshen up before work and taking on your day. (did I mention how clean it is? You know me... I like my public places clean!) All in all, I have to say I'm actually shocked that I appear to be the first review of this place! I had a great time, have nothing but great things to say about SVPT. Shara was an enormous help every step of the way, ensuring my posture was correct and pushing me to move forward. It was definitely a treat to see what all the fuss is about! I will make a habit out of this.

After a rough two years of not taking care of myself, I had a wake-up call when I failed the…read morefitness test for my dream job. I had gained a significant amount of weight, lost my love for the gym and had absolutely no motivation. Life was kicking my butt, and I was letting it. After some pushing and encouragement from my family, I decided to chat with the fitness manager at my local Goodlife to sign up for personal training. I was very skeptical. Scratch that, I was extremely skeptical of agreeing to work with a personal trainer. With the combination of bad experiences with personal trainers/coaches and injuries I wasn't looking forward to going through the process of vetting a personal trainer. Then I was introduced to Nathan. The first session I remember walking in thinking I don't know, maybe I should just cut my losses. I went in not expecting much. Oh boy was I wrong. Within in a few minutes I felt heard and understood. I gave him my goals and we workshopped together what would work and what might prove difficult for me. I have a handful of injuries that can make training a bit of a challenge for me. There are movements I need to avoid or be quite cautious with. Nathan is responsive and proactive to ensure I do not reinjure or injure myself. He's quick to grab the weight if I ever need a hand and is always willing to re-explain anything. I appreciate being told exactly WHY a movement is good for me versus just do this because it's good for me. I would personally recommend Nathan for pretty much anyone because he is knowledgeable, passionate about helping his clients and is great at making his sessions enjoyable. He has made going to the gym fun again, I feel like a little kid excited to go to the jungle gym every time I see that it's time for a session. Never thought I'd love going to the gym again. With his guidance I feel like I can personal accomplish all my goals I have set and even more.

There was a problem once with no hot water - but the girl was on the phone pronto to get it fixed & apologized for the inconvenience. I was really impressed with how she handled the whole thing. Only detractors are that sometimes the bike - when pedalling- will skip a rotation and cause my leg to jolt downwards...after a few of those & you soon quit the bike.
