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!

Club PKL is a very nice pickleball facility located in the sud-ouest near downtown making it one of…read morethe most centrally located , and closest to the downtown core, pickleball clubs in Montreal. The facility is very well lit, has high ceilings and a good amount of space around the courts. Again making it one of the best facilities around. They have 6 playable courts and one training court. Although they advertise having 7 courts, you can't actually play a match on the 7th court as it has a very low ceiling. However, this court is good for warming up or drilling. As I've mentioned this facility is top notch. However, one thing I've noticed after playing there a few times during the summer is that the main area is not properly ventilated. I can see that they have large heaters in the space so I'm sure it is fine in the winter, but it appears to lack an adequate amount of fresh air circulation. So when the facility is full the air becomes quite humid and hot. The office area and fitness studios are in a full air conditioned area so there is no issue there. It is just the playing area that seems to be lacking in fresh air and air conditioning. Lastly the one major down side with Club PKL is the pricing structure. It's next to impossible to figure out and what I can figure out seems extremely expensive. Looking at the Play by Point app, Club PKL offers no less than 11 membership options. ‍ when you click on memberships on their website all you get is a list of hourly court fees of $64 or $72/ hour depending on the time of day. So the website isn't really very useful in helping you figure this all out. The way it works is that you pay for a membership, say $110/month for then"rock star" membership, which I figure must be the best one and then you pay court fees as well. For a "rock star" the fees are the lowest, $12.50/hour/player (assuming 4 players per court). So by my calculations if you play on average 3 times per week it would cost you over $5,000 per year to play pickleball at PKL. They are however very flexible when it comes to drop ins for non-members. I've seen last minute open play invites for as little as $10 but also for as much as $35, so it all seems pretty random which makes it a bit difficult to plan in advance.

This gym is owned by legendary bodybuilding photographer Jimmy Caruso, who has taken some of Arnold's best and most famous pictures. Arnold would actually train here when visiting Montréal and if you're familiar with the Pumping Iron movie, this place is very reminiscent of it (minus the beach babes). There's a separate cardio room but the machines seem like they could use an upgrade (I did see signs saying they're renovating soon so that'll be great).
