First time trying a spin class here and it was so much fun!!! I love the music and the energy and…read moreyou don't realize it until you get off the bike but it is intense!! It's definitely something I wanna try to do more often and this place is amazing for that. Really nice waiting area and locker room. They provide the towels and the locks for the lockers. The staff is very nice and they guide you through the whole process when it's your first time. I recommend getting bike 1 since it's right next to the fan! Its middle row on the right side.

This winter I decided I want to do some sort of intense physical activity, and I settled on zumba…read more It seemed fun, so I tried a free class and now I'm hooked! I settled on Bamboofit because of location and fee structure. Bamboofit works on a card system: you buy a certain number of classes and they are loaded into an account. You are given a key fob with bar code and you scan it whenever you go to a class. The cost is very reasonable when you buy a bunch of classes and you have a year to use them. Perfect for someone who travels often and/ or has a highly variable schedule. The studio is large and bright. A word of caution however: there is no locker room. There's a curtained changing area and bathrooms, but no lockers or showers. You arrive, take off your boots and coat, and then bring your valuables to class with you. It works fine, but is good to know ahead of time. Between the energetic instructors and upbeat music, I never fail to leave the class smiling. Zumba is a little different from traditional aerobic classes as the focus is less on getting the moves right and more on moving and having a good time. At my first class I was a bit confused and missed the frantic calling of moves I was used to. Now that I'm used to it I love it. I focus less on doing exactly what the teacher is doing and more on the movements themselves. I'm not the most coordinated person, so sometimes I just focus on moving in the same direction and not crashing into anyone. But I have a good time doing it! The clientele, while varied, is primarily young and fit. I am by no means a small person (short yes, small no), nor a particularly coordinated one and I have always felt welcome and comfortable. If you're thinking about trying it out, DO IT!

So I checked out the other location tonight (1088 Clark - on the second floor) (and did class) and…read moreit was big and spacious, and I really liked it! (It's much bigger than the St-Laurent studio) It's in the Chinese cultural centre and I think it's worth trying it out.

They offer a variety of classes which I have not tried but I am pretty sure they are extremely legit! They have a fabulous steam room and sauna and beautiful showers. If you're looking for a high end gym in St-Henri look no further this is it!

Competition in the gym space is fierce.....there are new ones opening up all the time. Every now…read moreand then however, one opens that is truly exceptional. B52 is that gym. As soon as you enter you can see that alot of time and effort went into planning not just the layout and decor but also the quality and functionality of the equipment. It's all brand new.....a completely renovated space with roughly 20,000 sq/ft of facilities including a big and well equipped weight and cardio room as well as boxing, yoga, pilates, spin, crossfit, etc.....everything you need to get fit. Then go relax in the well decorated locker rooms for men and women with showers, steam, sauna, sitting room w/tv, or get a massage. On the way out, grab a smoothie or one of the prepared meals on offer to take home so you don't order Domino's or stop by McDonald's on the way home and then completely negate the intense workout you just had. There are trainers on staff at all times to ensure everyone is getting the proper workout and you always have the option of taking individual or group classes. All the gym equipment was carefully researched and chosen from an Italian company called Technogym. I've been working out there for 3 weeks now and my workouts are better then they've ever been. The machines are very well made and have better range of motion and support for areas like your back then other machines I've used. Also, in our high tech world, the cardio machines (elliptical, bikes, treadmills, etc.) allow you to access the Technogym app to track your workout and accomplishments but also integrate with your Netflix account so you can binge watch all your favorite shows while sweating like an animal. The location is great as well and there is alot of parking all around. It's right behind the Home Depot on St-Jacques, which is great because you can go get your lumber and soil right after your workout.......as one does :) Over he course of many years, I've worked out at the Sanctuaire, Victoria Park, Mansfield Club, and others. B52 got it right, a nice place to workout that has everything you need and most of what you want.......I say most because there is no pool, tennis or squash. If you're looking for a new gym, this is the place.

At registration, they tell you it's $100 a month for 4 classes and that you can simply call to…read morepostpone a class to the following week if you can't attend. Once you sign the contract, that turns out to be a lie. I called to postpone my class, and when I asked for an appointment the next week, they told me my membership had ended--no more classes. So I paid $100 and received nothing just because I couldn't attend two class. This feels like a deliberate scam.

OTF Somerled has literally changed my life!…read more Since the pandemic, I had really let myself go. I was depressed, unmotivated, had zero drive and absolutely no desire to get out of bed to do much of anything. That went on for 3 years!!! I was dreading exposing myself to the world of fitness in the state I was in but knew I needed to get my active life back on track. I have been to so many different fitness centres (the Y, Energy Cardio, Fitness One, MAAA, Nautilus +) and had done countless bootcamp sessions and CrossFit, none of which even compare to what I was about to experience with OTF. Getting back into shape, meant that I would be disappointed with how much my body had changed over the years. I knew I'd need more than just a physical workout. I'd need support, encouragement, advice, structure, and positive reinforcements. Then my sister introduced me to Orange Theory. She said it was exactly what I needed to get my groove back. BOY WAS SHE RIGHT!!! Not only are you encouraged to go at your own pace, but you're also made aware of your progress and the work you are putting in during and after your workouts. It keeps you motivated and on track. The only commitment you are making is to yourself. OTF has a pay per month plan, meaning there are no annual contracts locking you in, and adding unnecessary pressure. So you don't have to worry about biting off more than you can chew. Which helps you set smaller and more reachable goal. If you sign up for a minimum of 3 sessions a week, you also get a FREE heart monitor, tracking your every move, heart beat, and calorie burned. And if you thought that was good, I've got more news. OTF is WORLD WIDE, with multiple fitness centres in every major city. They also have an app compatible with iPhones and Androids, keeping you up-to-date on stats, allowing you to book your sessions directly from your home, and providing you with workout videos you can do from anywhere at any time. And did I mention the 1st SESSION IS FREE? So, if you're looking to make a positive change in your life, and need that extra push from encouraging coaches and a supportive community, OTF Somerled is for you! I promise you won't be disappointed. You think I'm kidding? Just read the reviews. P.S HiiT is highly addictive. Expect to get hooked!

-I should note that I'm not an elite level athlete nor someone looking for an elite gym.-…read more In my opinion, a gym's a gym's a gym. I find their weight room can get really busy, which is unfortunate, while the cardio room offered lots of machines to choose from. They do seem very community oriented and the facilities are encouraging/motivating, which is half the battle. The equipment I used was in good shape. Their prices are steep, but I'm looking at a promo rate at the moment which is competitive for what they offer, which is impressive. As far as facilities go: -cardio room w/ exercise mats, -basketball gym, -swimming pool, -weight room, -sauna, -change rooms w/ lockers without locks and showers -a locked space for your wallet/keys -lots of community events and exercise classes -cafe and store I've probably been a handful of times now. This past week-end was my first time back in a year and they offered me a free five times to test out the facilities, which I'll likely not use because Ill be signing up for their current promotion, which is a great deal but expires on Mar. 31.

I am not much of a fitness guru. That being said, and not to point out the obvious, I know a good…read moreplace when I see one. I don't know the necessary criteria for rating gyms so I will use four criteria. 1. cleanliness 2. facilities 3. ambience 4. Staff. 1 - Cleanliness - For an older facility there is the wear and tear you would expect, older floors, and the outside looks very dated. I personally enjoy the flaws and the character. The showers are very clean, the locker rooms have floor mats, and you can tell the staff takes real pride in this place. 2 - Facilities - This place is not the biggest, however they do have everything you would need. A cardio room with enough machines there is barely ever a wait, a large weight room with free weights and machines to satisfy ever muscle you can think of. There is a 3 lane 16 meter pool (don't quote me on the length), the change area for the pool also clean. 2 Saunas and extra showers as well. There's a full basketball court that doubles for badminton (cool thing there is a CD player for the stereo to play jams while shooting hoops). 3 - Ambiance - For me this was very important. As a chubby dude most gyms are intimidating. Everything Is white, silver, with bright lights. The people are usually more competitive than friendly. This place is the exact opposite, warm wood staircases, nice older lighting, friendly people (while signing up 3 non staffers said hello). 4 - Staff - The staff is excellent, not just friendly and helpful, but you can tell they truly love what they do. John helped me with the sign up and was an absolute star, joke cracking, friendly, and down to earth. He was especially proud of the sign he had built and hung over the entry way, the sign reads "Here there are no strangers, only friends we haven't met yet" and he was very proud of it, and swore by it. It was great. Overall this place is great, it's not for people who want to work out with headphones on and spend the time looking at themselves in the mirror. This place is perfect for people who want to be proactive in a community and enjoy their surroundings while having fun.
