There's nothing else like it nearby or even in Gatineau it's one of the only places with a full facility dedicated to both powerlifting and bodybuilding. It even has a posing room, which is such a great touch. We truly feel our best training here. Thank you, 613! Mon mari et moi sommes membres depuis deux ans, et nous avons vraiment remarqué le soin et l'attention que le propriétaire met dans ce gym. Il n'y a rien de comparable à proximité, ni même à Gatineau c'est l'un des seuls endroits avec une installation complète dédiée à la fois au powerlifting et au bodybuilding. Il y a même une salle de posing, ce qui est un excellent ajout. Nous nous sentons vraiment à notre meilleur en nous entraînant ici. Merci, 613!

Don't be shy - owner is always listening to improvements and suggestion

I can't believe no one has reviewed this place yet. I love Reform!…read more This is a pilates-esque workout on a contraption called the Reformer. You pick how hard it is based on some adjustments you can make to the machine. The workouts are 25 minutes each (includes upper+core or lower+core), or you can opt for a "double" which is just 2 classes back-to-back. I'm glad the classes aren't longer because the workout is so challenging that anything more would level me. The instructors are all so nice, and super willing to help you get to know what you're doing. The class sizes are small (10? 12?), and you get lots of individual attention. You do have to buy some grippy socks. If you have yoga socks with the grips on the bottom, that'll probably suffice. I saw someone with those neon pink grip socks you get at the trampoline park. They're pretty chill about it. I think if you sign up for an introductory class, you get some free socks with it too. The facility is nice and new, and there is free parking available. There are also free lockers in the facility. I think there are some additional services, like body composition testing, but I don't know too much about that. Anyway, if you're into fun fitness classes that are motivating and make you feel like Britney in 2003, go on and give Reform a try.

I had been lucky enough to have used a mega reformer in Toronto and when visiting my parents, was introduced to this awesome place. I can safely safe I'm hooked! The workouts kick my butt every time. The best part is that no matter what level you are, beginner to advanced, there are always modifications or ways to make the workout more challenging or scale it down. If you're looking for a workout that gets results, offers a motivating environment and supportive community, I highly recommend trying a class or two. You may end up hooked too! :)

a NO for me. It was…read morevery confusing for me to find their entrance. The doors are located right next to the garbage bins, so the smell will be "pleasant". The receptionist was really nice to me. Their freaking toilets are dirty, nasty and smelly. The equipment is very old and there is only one cable machine which sucks. The smell inside the gym itself is really bad, so I suggest they would turn on the fans. Overall, I was disappointed because their reviews were mostly 5 star. Maybe they were just friends with the owner, Idk. P.S. The prices are great though $49 for students and $59 for regulars, but they do not even have a normal water fountain for reusable bottles.

The gym is a new thing for me and I'm not one for treadmills. That said, I've been working from…read morehome a lot recently and felt I needed something to help me get moving even when the weather is yucky outside. Elgin Fitness was a great choice for me because I don't feel any pressure from staff or members and there isn't a big financial strain. I was given a day pass to try out the gym before committing to a membership. There were no sign up fees and there isn't a contract (if you sign up for automatic payments, they want you to stay around for at least 5 months though) and no penalty for cancelling (just a 30 day notice). The rates are really reasonable--we got a couple's plan for $80 and you can't really beat that anywhere else. I really like that the membership includes access to yoga classes. I went to one today, my first ever, and found it to be a relaxing and invigorating experience. The instructor wasn't overly serious and she was open and made the environment feel safe. When I couldn't hold a pose for as long, or had to modify a pose, there was no judgement and I felt positive about my body. The change rooms have been clean and well kept every time I've gone. They even have hair dryers! There are showers, bathrooms, lockers, and a space for beautifying oneself. The change rooms have never been crowded and I've never had a problem getting a locker (free, just bring your own lock). The gym itself is everything that I need and nothing more. There are a variety of cardio machines--treadmills, stair climbers, ellipticals, upright bikes, recumbent bikes. I've never had to wait for a machine and everyone I've seen use them remembers to wipe them down after use. There is also a good assortment of weight training equipment and a stretching room. The stretching room has swiss balls and mats and the yoga classes are held here--which means the room isn't open to everyone when a class is in session. So if you're within walking distance of this gym, I would recommend trying it out.

Probably 4 1/2 stars if only I could grant half-stars... We held a work event at this Golf Club,…read moreand I have to say that they exceeded our expectations! The food was really good, plentiful, and very tasty. There's no bigger downer than running out of food, or not having enough options for those among us who have special dietary needs. None of that bad stuff happened here! In fact, they had one or two items extra which we did not expect (2 types of quiche being an example). If I could say only 1 negative thing about the food, apparently the chicken could have been warmer when it was served (apparently some people found it not hot enough for their tastes). Aside from that, everything I tasted was delicious, especially the beef stew! There were delicious salads, and a few deserts including Nanaimo bars (one of my favourites!) The location is very nice - even blanketed in snow. The club house is nicely laid out. There's are 3 separate rooms, and one has a cash bar. Another room has a fireplace for real wood. And a veranda surrounds the outside. And the location is really easy to get to, easy to find. Thank you, Rivermead!! Merci bien!!

Amazing, fun, and innovative! These are some of the words that come to mind after my first class…read more The Daily Method combined yoga with a total body work out. The class consisted of a perfect combination of stretching, body weight exercises, holding positions, and aligning your body. It can make your body more flexible as well as strength and tone your body. Whether you are a beginner to fitness or an elite athlete, the exercises are as challenging as you make it. And there is music playing for the majority of the class. Upbeat and feel good music! Sarah was the instructor and she was friendly, upbeat, and knowledgeable. She talked through each exercise and demonstrated it perfectly. She motivated the class and helped each student when they needed it. She eats, breathes, and sleeps the Daily Method and you can see her passionate right away when you first meet her. Honestly, as a guy I didn't think it would be a work out or that it wouldn't be for me but I was completely wrong. The class was a great work out and the environment ultra supportive and warm. I would highly recommend checking them out.

When I…read moregot there (upstairs in the back left corner) I stowed my stuff in one of the lockers they have there. They have combination locks (you set the combination yourself!) so you don't have to bring a lock (phew!). As I was walking into class I was told to grab 2lbs weights. My first thought was "I can totally carry more than two lbs". Hahaha boy was I wrong! If this is your first class do not roll your eyes at the 2lbs suggestion! The class was energetic and focused on small movements. You would think that it wouldn't do much but it really targets your muscles! Sarah, the co-owner of the studio, is amazing. She's helpful and energetic and she really pushes you through when you think you can't do that last set. The workout was amazing. The studio is beautiful, clean and a great friendly atmosphere. I would recommend this for anyone looking for a challenging workout.
