I recently visited Victoria on vacation and it turned out the YMCA/YWCA two blocks from my hotel…read moreoffers day passes to its gym. This facility is a great option for anyone visiting Victoria who needs to work on their strength training while on vacation. They have several Life Fitness machines, including pectoral fly/rear deltoid. They also have some older machines from a brand I have never heard of before called Keiser, which turned out to be an American brand based in Fresno, California. The Keiser machines are strange because they have thumb controls to manipulate a pneumatic system which controls resistance, rather than the traditional system of sticking a pin into a weight stack. But once you figure out how to use them, they're okay.

This is the type of fitness facility I was looking for when I first came to Victoria years ago and…read morecouldn't find! Coming out of the pandemic I was looking for a place that could get me back in shape - with an emphasis on functional fitness. Sarah-Jane has created a terrific facility and has great trainers. She understood what I was looking for and matched me with a great trainer. Nicky has challenged me and ensures the exercises I do are appropriate for how I'm feeling that day and my particular issues. I work more in one hour than I would do in two hours on my own and come away tired but inspired. I also appreciate that every body type and fitness level are accommodated and I don't feel out of place. The staff and clients are all supportive and I actually look forward to going! If you want to make an investment in yourself this is a great place to do that! Almost 2 years later - haven't had to go back to physiotherapy and I'm feeling better than I have in years. Workouts are always changing - and I'm never bored. Now ten pounds lighter, but more importantly I feel stronger and healthier. Still love coming here - who'd have thought I'd enjoy exercise so much! Nicky motivates me to strive for increased strength and stability and my mood is always improved by the time I leave. Would highly recommend!

I ended up going to Steve Nash both in Yaletown and Granville st downtown and it wasn't my kind of gym but I didn't have much choice. Later on Fit4Less open a location in Waterfront and knowing that was part of GoodLife group I started working out there. I love the equipment and how friendly the people are. Now I've been living in Victoria since 2006 and ever since I workout at Downtown location. I love the ambience and the staff. Lots of regular members. I find people polite and friendly too. I will only change gym again if I move to another location where there is another Goodlife around but as far as I know I am home and GL is family to me.

There is an indoor lap pool, jacuzzi, and squash courts that offer a well rounded club experience. The locker rooms provide basic amenities, though there is little privacy. An array of aerobic machine entice u into the internal caloric and distance challenge, though I don't quite understand the necessity of keeping the largest TV displaying that challenge.

When I passed by this gym, what caught the most of my attention was the big amount of muscular…read morepeople confined in such a small space. I was wondering if they'd need to remove all the equipment for the capoeira classes. Once the mirror started to show my love handles with nobody to hold them, I knew it was time to start looking for a gym. I was told to check Studio 4, but I replied I'd hate to be watched by passing people while I make effort faces. Good news were that the gym has several floors, and the street level is just for those with a personal trainer. Once you go up, you'll see the other reception desk, more machines, the changing rooms with a couple of showers, two studios for classes (one having a boxing ring+ the equipment needed). On the upper floor, you'll find the cardio machines, more gym equipment, and another big studio. Some of the classes they offer are included in the membership (can't remember if it was $40 or $50 per month), while others require subscription and extra payment, such as Capoeira, Kickboxing, Boxing, and Aerial Stretch. Good things about this gym are the centric location, the distribution of levels and equipment, the variety of classes they offer, the decoration mixing frames, plants and shinny colours, the extremely convenient option of canceling the membership no questions asked (which I did over the phone with no problems). The only thing that bugged me was the lack of air conditioner. They have several fans distributed on the cardio area, which worked excellent during Autumn and with few people. I don't want to imagine the sticky-sweaty sensation of being there during Summer with lots of people.
