There has been no "yo-yo-ing" back and forth and my motivation has been high all the way through. He isn't the type of trainer who will yell at you and shame you into doing more. Burke's philosophy - and he'll tell you the first time you see him - is about sustainable weight loss. He's not about the 20lbs in 20-days garbage. If you're looking to make positive change, this is the guy you want to contact.

After years in school and not making my body a priority in my life, I decided to change. Looking…read morefor a personal trainer in Ottawa wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. There are many and most fitness centers have mixed reviews. I met with Burke and was quickly impressed by him... His approach was thoughtful, calm and collected. Looking back, I think it was how fast I felt comfortable around him that gave me that extra push to do this. It was a combination of weights, cardio and, most importantly, learning new ways to eat. I trained with Burke a few times per week. Once I started improving we reduced that to twice. It's been 2 years and I'm still feeling healthier than I can remember! My results speak for themselves: lost 40 pounds in 6 months. And yes, those were my old pants in the pic I added in my gallery! If you're considering Burke and have any questions, feel free to PM me. I'm giving 4 stars for the sole reason that I don't want anyone to think there's a perfect solution. The change that I went through was extremely difficult. It's important that people know that a lot of it comes down to you.

While originally I enjoyed my workouts at this place, I'm pretty upset about the business dealings…read moreI've experienced from them lately.. I called to cancel my membership in September and they told it would take 30 days for them to cancel my membership, so two more payments would come out of my account. No problem. However, two more payments have since come out of my account despite another phone call. I'm pretty bummed out since I had such good interaction with the staff here previously. The gym is nothing spectacular, but I like the fact that it was open 24 and it met my needs. Now, $160 after my membership should have been cancelled, I'm thinking it just wasn't worth it.

Complained multiple times. Zero action. Management shrugged off what looked like biohazards. Tried switching to Nepean. In April, they said the transfer fee was $10. Went back five times -- always a new excuse: no forms, no manager, come later. Then magically, on May 13, I'm told it's $30 now. When I brought up the scammy delay tactics, Emily Naftel (Member Experience Supervisor) accused me of lying, told me to either pay up or leave, and blocked me from entering -- while my account was paid in full. If this is "premium fitness," then I'm a flying elephant. Movati doesn't care about hygiene, ethics, or customer service. You're paying for STD soup pools, bait-and-switch fees, and staff who gaslight you at the front desk. Want better? Literally anywhere else is cleaner, cheaper, and run by grown adults.

I'm really disappointed with my recent experiences at GoodLife Queen. I've been a member at this…read moregym for over 10 years, and over the years I've seen the quality of the front desk staff deteriorate significantly. While the gym itself has great equipment and trainers, the front desk experience has become consistently frustrating. Most (not all) of the front desk staff are unfriendly and rarely make eye contact or greet members. It often feels unwelcoming walking in. There are frequently no towels ready, which is inconvenient and reflects a lack of preparation. During the winter, staff don't ensure that people remove their boots, so the path to the change room becomes a wet, messy hazard. It's frustrating for those of us who follow the rules, only to walk through a slushy floor that isn't cleaned up promptly. I've also repeatedly seen staff making TikToks instead of helping members or maintaining the facility. Meanwhile, basic upkeep and member assistance seem to be neglected. It's disappointing to see this decline after being a loyal member for so long. I hope management takes this feedback seriously. A gym should feel clean, organized, and welcoming -- and right now, that's not the experience being delivered.

It was a 15min from my hotel and the staff here are very nice and smiley! Different than the torontos goodlife staff.. definitely. The changeroom is big but I went at 9pm and it was empty - I don't know how packed this would be during a after-work rush. The changerooms were relatively clean and the upstairs was nice, quite and tidy. I liked the turf, even though it's saved for personal training. You are free to enter when there's noone in there though and it's nice and clean. Good area for stretching, mobility exercises and sled push/pulls. Downstairs is the weights area, which is a bit dingy and small. Dumbbell rack area is TINY! Who can workout in this, when there's more than a few people?? There's 2-3 squat racks and 2 benches - eh. Most people here are taking them up and not making good use out of them, so you might have to wait for 2-3 dumbasses to finish their quarter squats or bicep curls with the barbell before you can use it. My eyes can only roll so hard. Oh, also nobody does cardio in this gym so that area is all yours! Great variety of cardio machines. Me gusta. It's not difficult to get a good workout in here, but also it smells like nobody has showered. Like ever. VENTILATION PLS. It's not bad but it sure as hell ain't good.
