There's nothing else like it nearby or even in Gatineau it's one of the only places with a full facility dedicated to both powerlifting and bodybuilding. It even has a posing room, which is such a great touch. We truly feel our best training here. Thank you, 613! Mon mari et moi sommes membres depuis deux ans, et nous avons vraiment remarqué le soin et l'attention que le propriétaire met dans ce gym. Il n'y a rien de comparable à proximité, ni même à Gatineau c'est l'un des seuls endroits avec une installation complète dédiée à la fois au powerlifting et au bodybuilding. Il y a même une salle de posing, ce qui est un excellent ajout. Nous nous sentons vraiment à notre meilleur en nous entraînant ici. Merci, 613!

MY FAVORITE GYM IN THIS CITY…read more This is definitely a treat if you're a serious lifter. Gym: - this gym is truely 24/7 - Half the gym is in kilos and half in lbs with competition equipment and calibrated plates - total of 8 squat racks, 8 deadlift platforms, 4 benches (with safety) - Olympic lifting platform - rowing equipments, cable machine, lat pull down, etc. - dumbbells at this gym go up to 180lbs - Cardio: assault bike - has showers and lockers - free parking People at the gym: - awesome and supportive. You really get to know each other and don't be afraid to ask questions or ask for a spot. - many are top level athletes but there are also beginners ! Don't be shy - owner is always listening to improvements and suggestion

a NO for me. It was…read morevery confusing for me to find their entrance. The doors are located right next to the garbage bins, so the smell will be "pleasant". The receptionist was really nice to me. Their freaking toilets are dirty, nasty and smelly. The equipment is very old and there is only one cable machine which sucks. The smell inside the gym itself is really bad, so I suggest they would turn on the fans. Overall, I was disappointed because their reviews were mostly 5 star. Maybe they were just friends with the owner, Idk. P.S. The prices are great though $49 for students and $59 for regulars, but they do not even have a normal water fountain for reusable bottles.

The gym is a new thing for me and I'm not one for treadmills. That said, I've been working from…read morehome a lot recently and felt I needed something to help me get moving even when the weather is yucky outside. Elgin Fitness was a great choice for me because I don't feel any pressure from staff or members and there isn't a big financial strain. I was given a day pass to try out the gym before committing to a membership. There were no sign up fees and there isn't a contract (if you sign up for automatic payments, they want you to stay around for at least 5 months though) and no penalty for cancelling (just a 30 day notice). The rates are really reasonable--we got a couple's plan for $80 and you can't really beat that anywhere else. I really like that the membership includes access to yoga classes. I went to one today, my first ever, and found it to be a relaxing and invigorating experience. The instructor wasn't overly serious and she was open and made the environment feel safe. When I couldn't hold a pose for as long, or had to modify a pose, there was no judgement and I felt positive about my body. The change rooms have been clean and well kept every time I've gone. They even have hair dryers! There are showers, bathrooms, lockers, and a space for beautifying oneself. The change rooms have never been crowded and I've never had a problem getting a locker (free, just bring your own lock). The gym itself is everything that I need and nothing more. There are a variety of cardio machines--treadmills, stair climbers, ellipticals, upright bikes, recumbent bikes. I've never had to wait for a machine and everyone I've seen use them remembers to wipe them down after use. There is also a good assortment of weight training equipment and a stretching room. The stretching room has swiss balls and mats and the yoga classes are held here--which means the room isn't open to everyone when a class is in session. So if you're within walking distance of this gym, I would recommend trying it out.

You make it what you want it BUT the trainers will push you and you'll lose and Tone up your body in no time! I owe a lot to Greco and highly recommend this gym! COVID has been tough on everyone!

I've always hated gyms. The crappy music, the grim-eyed people, the smell, the jacked-up guys…read moredesperately trying to forget their scrawny high school selves. Ugh. I'd tried a bunch of the big corporate gyms and always quit. I'm not even sure why I decided to try Greco's 10-week plan. It's pricy, for sure, but some girls I work with had raved about it, and I knew a new one had just opened on Sparks. From the start, everything about this place appealed to me - knowledgable trainers, friendly owner, good space, short (45 min) classes. I wanted to die my first time out, but I slowly got stronger. And it's always fun. The style is crossfit-esque - weights and cardio mixed together - and the classes are no more than 25 (though if you pick the right times, you can end up with just 5-10 others). The change rooms are too small, but that's never been a huge problem for me. The location is great for those who live and work downtown. Basically, if you're willing to shell out some extra bucks, I can't recommend this place enough. I've been a member for six months now, and it's still never boring - and only annoying when Justin Bieber is on the music rotation.

The coaches have a good eye and have slowly made sure I have great form before putting weights on the bar. It is a somewhat newer gym, opening mid 2013, and already has many classes with more being added. In addition they have mobility classes, OLY (Olympic Lifting), and then basics classes for newbies like me. Highly recommend this "box" if you are an experienced crossfitter looking for a good workout or someone looking to get into the sport without being judged.

Loved going to this gym, honestly one of the nicest gym facilities I've used across Canada…read more Been going here for little over a year before the pandemic, but I recently moved across town and I had to cancel my membership. First time I called the owner Jen was super sweet and let me try out a different location before making a decision. Unfortunately the location near my new place just isn't as nice as Hunt Club's. I called again to cancel and this time Nik (also an owner) picked up. Maybe he was in a bad mood or it was too early in the morning, but from the moment he picked up, his abrasive and rude attitude threw me off. Anyways he said he would cancel my membership and then abruptly hung up on me. I'm just saying, it was uncalled for and very unprofessional, which is so unfortunate because it really ruined my perception of this place. Nik, if you see this review, I hope you had a banana and sat outside for a bit and I hope that helped.

In particular, DJ is a very dedicated trainer who makes working out fun yet focussed. He has a good individualized plan for each of his clients. After moving to Vancouver, I really miss training with him one on one! It is hard to find a trainer with his level of passion and professionalism.

I can't believe no one has reviewed this place yet. I love Reform!…read more This is a pilates-esque workout on a contraption called the Reformer. You pick how hard it is based on some adjustments you can make to the machine. The workouts are 25 minutes each (includes upper+core or lower+core), or you can opt for a "double" which is just 2 classes back-to-back. I'm glad the classes aren't longer because the workout is so challenging that anything more would level me. The instructors are all so nice, and super willing to help you get to know what you're doing. The class sizes are small (10? 12?), and you get lots of individual attention. You do have to buy some grippy socks. If you have yoga socks with the grips on the bottom, that'll probably suffice. I saw someone with those neon pink grip socks you get at the trampoline park. They're pretty chill about it. I think if you sign up for an introductory class, you get some free socks with it too. The facility is nice and new, and there is free parking available. There are also free lockers in the facility. I think there are some additional services, like body composition testing, but I don't know too much about that. Anyway, if you're into fun fitness classes that are motivating and make you feel like Britney in 2003, go on and give Reform a try.

The best part is that no matter what level you are, beginner to advanced, there are always modifications or ways to make the workout more challenging or scale it down.
