a great designed premium club that suffers from heavy overcrowding during peak hours. the fitness classes are excellent and the locker rooms feel like a luxury spa, but trying to get a machine or book a court after work is a total nightmare. for the steep monthly price tag, you expect a seamless experience, but you often end up waiting around or dealing with a packed parking lot read more

It is a pretty good gym with a variety of equipment and gear. I can workout all my muscles and have a good time. If I pick the right time then it is less crowded and I can use all the machine s I want. read more

This place is horrible! The equipment is dirty and very outdated. Often the machines are closed because they are not working. They charge way too much and they keep pushing you to spend more money. The customer service is terrible. They are very condescending. Avoid this gym! read more

Terrible gym! They market themselves as an upscale gym but they are really a mediocre budget gym with an exorbitant price tag. Dirty, old, unmaintained machines. Unfriendly staff. Everything in this place is overpriced and they keep trying to sell you more. The general manager made inappropriate comments. I have been a member at several gyms. This is by far the worst. Avoid at all costs. read more

Greediest gym I've ever had the misfortune of subscribing to. Overpriced as they are, they also charged me an extra month ($286) for cancelling my membership less than five days before the end of the month. A cancellation necessary due to new income problem. The bottom line is management couldn't care less about you. read more

The facilities are nice and they offer a variety of classes. The instructors are generally good, hard-working people. Unfortunately, the service is really not up to par. Management makes no effort whatsoever to accommodate clients' needs or requests. You don't feel like they really care about your needs. read more

I tried this gym out to see if I wanted to sign up. I've heard positive things, but after visiting, I have no idea what the hype is about. MOLD under all the mats in the women's locker room. Walls falling apart. It was not easy to find the spa. The women's locker room is a maze. I tried the 60 mins massage and the masseuse talked half of the time. I couldn't relax at all. It was not an enjoyable experience. And for the price, no thank you. Will not be returning. Do not recommend. read more

We've had a family membership for just over 2 yrs now and we're very happy at Midtown. The group classes are great -- Andre, Carole, Kostas are amazing (the rest as well, but they are our favourites). Some classes get fuller than others, but we've never felt over crowded. The tennis courts are fantastic. We love having access to indoor courts through the winter. They can be hard to book, specially during evenings and weekends, but we usually manage to find an opening. Leon and Francois are really great trainers. The summer camp for kids is excellent. They just renovated the showers in the ladies change room, and in general the facilities are clean. The staff is friendly and helpful. Jean Christophe at the front office has always been very approachable and accommodating. The cafe serves good food and smoothies, but -- and this is the one thing I dislike about the club -- the service is always really slow. Expect 30 mins for your food, even if you're the only ones eating. We usually just head elsewhere, but in the summer the terrace is very enjoyable (as long as you don't mind waiting to eat). The free indoor parking is also a plus. read more

Midtown athletic club considered a prestigious club in Quebec. I have to agree with the fitness classes. Great spinning class! A must try. The weight training and tennis courts are a pleasure to use. However my review is mainly based on my experience with the cafe and good service. There is a beautiful out door area to have a bite and take a dip in the sauna. I don't know why a prestigious club would have dirt scum bobbles in the water. You just feel like running in to the shower after going in. Can't say it was a relaxin experience. Once I sat down out side for brunch, the menu was quite pricy but we are at A prestigious club and if you can afford the membership costs them paying 11.00 for two sunny side up eggs and a few fruits is fine. Now you'd expect great service right ? Wrong ! It took 40 min to get out order and the place was empty. Then once we finally got the meal. I can't say anything about the food itself. It was sunny side up eggs hard to mess that up and the fruits were fresh. The bread was multigrain, maybTu pense que j ai pas de peine moi? Que je n ai pas de sensibilité ? Pourtant tu commence a me connaitre et a savoir comme je suis une personne sensibele that why the meal was an extra 5.00 ;) Having been in the pool and wearing a bathing suit I asked for more coffee and when she poured it, she didn't both moving or taking the cup. She poured the coffee me , not a drop it was a lot! On my leg and foot. All I got was a bag of ice and the she avoided to come back to offer anything else. The kicker is I got the bill with out any compensation. Wow I have to say the service here stinks! You mess up you fix it! Poor service and hight price = fail read more

This is probably by far the worst gym in Montreal in terms of management, employees and overall atmosphere in this target high end gym People are patronizing and their restaurant service under the M Café banner, is indeed a blatant example. In the same way as other comments made up to now, some of the staff are being treated as much as their second home and categorized members and labelled them. Outrageous. Fiercely competitive environment. Some trainers do no fit Since there's no such thing as perfection, this is named a 220,00 price tag. Among other things, looker rooms are getting tired ... read more

Salut, I came to Midtown through a referral from an existing member where I was given a 2 week pass and was very disappointed from the experience. As as fitness instructor myself, I could not believe, how this supposed 5-star club was actually ran. my first impression upon entering the club, was the receptionist wasn't friendly, the locker-room was a mess and I couldn't believe how there were towels everywhere (water stains around the sinks). But most of all, the quality of the towels is a joke for a 5 star establishment (too small and not enough loops to dry you off properly) Moving into the fitness area, What a mess. None of the weights were put away - weights were all over the place. As a first time visitor, I couldn't tell if it was being used by someone else. There was chalk everywhere too. The monitors in the red shirts, are just walking around instead of being present with the clients. For example, couldn't they put the weights away instead of walking around stretching and looking in the mirrors. Geez! During the week, I bumped into a person who turned out to be the GM of the place only to learn he had no customer relations skills. Like a hotel, the man of the house should be greeting his guests and make them each member feel valued. He sure has none of that perhaps that is why the place looks the way it does. At the end of the trial, would I consider joining, definitely NO!!!! Not at what I experience. Definitely not worth the price. People!!!! read more

5/5 for the gym. Hands down the best gym in the city; quality equipment, clean, and not too busy. The free indoor parking is also a big plus, especially for winter. I like the fact that the weight room always has a trainer present to help you if you have any questions or looking for a spot. The Midtown is the most complete gym experience in Montreal. Concerning the Midtown Bistro/Restaurants, the food is average and the service is awful - but I don't blame them, who goes to a gym to eat. If you looking for gains and you about that life, dont eat a salad... there's a McDonald's a few blocks down. read more

Great club cleanest place I've been soo far . Love the steam room and the clean showers Worth every damn hard earned dollar read more

I like the women room with all comodities, sauna, bain vapeur and jacuzzi, plenty of towels and showers; the club is big so you have to walk a lot to make all tour ( tennis, yoga, spinning, restaurant, indoors and outdoor pool ! Enjoy if you can afford it. read more

Club staff is so rude, and provided no customer service at all. Beautiful club with horrible service. Very disappointed:( Not friendly to children, although selling family membership. Pool always not available for kids, only 3 hours per week. Daycare for kids never open, and workers there are not professionals, not safe... Don't leave your stuff, it will be stolen:( About food, had 2 times gastro, after eating there:( read more

I have been a member here for 2 years. I just dropped my membership this month. First, let me tell you the installations are the best in Montreal. A nice classy gym with a huge terrasse. I gave 4 stars because the management is clearly lacking vision: you always have to carry money around, they don't assign you a member code to make purchases at the restaurant or the spa. The service at the restaurant as been very poor for the last 2 years. Their sport shakes are ridiculously pricy (10$ for a shake?), which is quite bad for a sport center. Tennis courts are the nicest in Montreal and they have nice showers. Overall, it is a nice club but it's very pricy. read more

The jacuzzi in the women's locker is not up to health code. There is mold and the paint has chipped so the water is tainted. Management refuses to fix it, instead they made the water cold to reduce the amount of bacteria. Disgusting! Unacceptable considering how much we have to pay for membership. Meantime they have the money to redo the strength training area. read more

Though the club has very good opening hours, this Sunday they had to close due to electric problems. This can happen any time but it is unfortunate that they did not send out a general notice to their members to notify them about the closure. I had to make an unnecessary trip in difficult driving conditions! If the internet is good for something , it should be used for something like this! read more

Je participe régulièrement aux rencontres Yulbiz. Celle d'hier avait lieu au Midtown Le Sporting Club Sanctuaire. L'établissement est certainement apprécié par ses membres qui s'y entraînent mais j'ai été déçu par la salle de réception où avait lieu notre activité. L'éclairage y était assez sombre pour qu'un collègue compare le lieu à un salon funéraire. Par ailleurs, pour un lieu qui reçoit des gens d'affaires, j'ai trouvé cela amateur de ne pouvoir uniquement payer comptant et sans remise d'une facture. read more

Best gym in the city ! Huge variety of classes and services Spa in location with mani, pedi , massage and other services Awesome staff! Very clean ! Nothing beats it ! Nothing like it in Montreal. read more

Very nice gym with very rude staff! Kid running around in the summer time with no parental supervision under the staff's uncaring eye! Very unfortunate that this place has such mediocre management! Not worth the money! read more

When I joined the club, the sales person wrote in the contract and emailed me that she gave me a complimentary month if I signed the 1 year contract. She just mentioned for example February month, because it had to be after 3 months membership paid ( I joined in November), but it happened I was on leave of absence for a medical mission in Feb). Even the accounting staff let me choose any month as complimentary during the year, she emailed me to confirm it. But now the manager does not allow that complimentary month, saying that it was supposed to be in Feb ( but i was on leave of absence) even I sent her all the emails agreed by the sales person and the accountant staff. Speechless! read more

It's a nice gym but with a TERRIBLE service and staff! Couple of us tried to have lunch outside and we ended up serving ourselves. From running after a waiter who did not came once to our table within 30 min to getting our own utensils and after running again after him to pay?! Up front they have two large water pitchers which are never filled w water anyway! Once I tried to ask the personnel to fill it up only to get an absolute rude answer that she is super busy. (There was no one at the bar btw). I understand staff could get overwhelmed, but if you consider yourself as a 5 star sports club-HIRE MORE PEOPLE! Anytime I try to order something it's like asking them for a HUGE favor, sorry to remind you but this is what's called your JOB. And on top of it, any orders takes FOREVER. Trainers at the club are such a gossipers! How can you feel at ease and relaxed when you can't even discuss your personals. The guy who registered me did not tell me about available programs, discounts and available specials as a new member. So the moral of the review is that for the money they charge they are not worth being paid half. read more

Totally awful customer experience at this gym club!! The wrong membership fees and tennis course fees have been non-refundable! Countless contacts and confirmations with the advisor, and still no refund. Emails--not reply, voice messages--not reply! How long can such dishonest gym run?!! read more

The management with Jean Benoît and François Leduc was a catastrophe, very unfriendly, after 8 years going with all my family , paying vip lockers and a lot of extras, I decided to quite because the rudeness of the staff and the management, they just told me ok you can leave LOL very professional !!!! There is much better places in Montreal that they value customers. read more

Was looking to get into a more "sophisticated" gym where I can not only focus on my training but relax as well... I tried out this gym a couple times and can say it did have plus and minuses... This gym is primarily made up of tennis courts (which cost extra on top of your $100-150/mo membership fee), a nice outdoor terrace (only for the summer), basketball courts, and nice locker/change room and showers. However the minuses to this gym is that, the gym in itself is tiny and does not have very many weights/machines. Just hope you go on a day or time where there are hardly anyone down there. The indoor pool is too small to swim laps which makes it almost pointless, and the outdoor pool is just big enough to fit maybe half a dozen to a dozen people to "cool off." My advise, if you want to go to a gym to train... choose another gym. If you want a gym where you do minimal work, not much weight lifting and want to go outside on a nice hot sunny day, then this is a good gym for you. Best for woman ages 40+ read more

It's the worst club I ever went very expensive dirty in the locker rooms people stealing from the locker they stolled my watch last year. This club was the best 20 year ago but now only kids actually they should fired the general manager Bic I went to his office to say to him about what's going on why the club changed so much he replied by saying we want to make the club a family club what's jerk I'm paying 185$ a month expensive for nothing and only Jewish marrocain people there I really do not like this club anymore and I don't recommended at all drop my membership long time ago better to run outside in the park to do sport in my own house. read more

Don't waste your time with this gym. There only concern is making a sale with your membership and lack any customer service. I just dropped my membership after the first month and wasted my time and money. Staff is extremely rude, have no interest in helping you and I never get answers to my questions. The food is horrible and I had my items stolen twice with no care or concern. There only care is to sell you membership then you never here from them again. Don't waste your time here or get fooled by there phony claims on there website. Your better off going some where else in the city where they look at you as a human being and not dollar amount. Way over priced, horrible staff, money hungry, below standard facilities and they refuse to correspond to you via email. Also not do not share any personal information with this gym including your phone number, address or personal email. They will gather this information to harass you to join without asking you !!! avoid at all cost !! read more
