I went here to the pool a few months ago. I liked the place and enjoyed my experience there…read more When I came there I asked about the place and the staff were nice and descriptive so I could understand where everything is. Since I was a member, I was quickly able to check-in to the pool. When I went into the Locker Room, the place was quiet and it was clean(everything was clean technically), which I liked. I loved how they had kids take tests for things like: Going to the Deep End and allowed to swim, so they would be safe. I also liked the jacuzzi they had. I will definitely come back here someday!

LIl's is pretty much perfect. Craig has created a motivating, chill, professional, place/space and…read moreteam. Dan is the best private trainer I could imagine. He knows his stuff- and he is supportive, challenging, and an amazing role model for balancing fitness of mind and body. If you care as much about the 'why' as you do the "what", Dan has so much to teach you without ever mansplaining. Nothing hidden at this gym- costs of different programs and training are all transparent (and very fair). It's a little badass to get to (behind an old church), but kinda feels like the kind of place Rocky would have taken Adrian to work out.

I've been to several GoodLife's in Toronto, and thought that the one Downtown (informally known as…read morethe flagship) would be as good as it gets, at least in terms of amenities. But this gym in Waterloo beats them all! It's absolutely huge with two floors and a women's area (separately equipped with several squat racks). Classes are numerous and varied - they also offer hot yoga. Best of all, I'm not sure if it's because I always go in the morning, but the place is NEVER CROWDED. After my first time here, I was so surprised at the emptiness of the gym that I asked the girl at the front if this was a one-off thing, and she told me that no, this was actually considered "pretty busy". Well, guess I can't complain :) The service here is also exceptional - the staff members are so friendly and nice! You would certainly never be greeted going out the door and told to have a nice day at a GoodLife downtown!

This little fitness class just started in Kitchener and it doesn't take long to see that Nicole…read moreThorne, who runs the classes herself, really knows what she is doing. She starts off with a one-on-one meeting to go over what exactly you are looking to do fitness-wise (and as we are women, we probably all have the same goal - flat tummy, nice bum, tone arms and legs etc.) and then she gets you started. The classes are two times a week (Tuesday and Thursday) and you can choose either early morning or evening. She is also a specialist in postnatal fitness and does "mummy tummy repair" as she calls it. Right from the first class you can tell the workout is having an effect and despite how easy it seemed to be, the day after you feel the burn, which is exactly what I look for! Her prices are also way cheaper than most and she gives excellent value.

I was interested in testing out some new gyms in London and I was lucky that Orange Theory was…read moresigning up people for their soft opening. If you signed up, you could get discounted monthly memberships, and 4 free classes. The sign up was kind of long and confusing but in the end, I was signed up and ready to hit the classes. The staff here are working out the kinks as it hasnt actually had its grand opening yet so I dont want to judge them too harshly. They are helpful and welcoming which is all I can really ask for at this point. The classes are essentially high-intensity interval training (HIIT). They actually promote the same process as my current gym, the 'afterburn effect'. When you do short bursts of intense activity for a small period of time, your body continues to burn calories during the day. I know that this process works for some people, as I've been working out this way for a year, and I've seen many people lose a ton of weight due to this type of routine. Inside the orange-lit workout room you have a row of treadmills, a row of rowers, and a row of weight stations with a trx, bosu ball, free weights, and an ab dolly. During the workout, the trainer will let you know what you need to do. Every workout is different. No 2 workouts are the same so if you dont like doing the same thing over and over, this spot is for you. I have to say, the best thing about these classes is the technology. Before you enter, you are given a heart rate monitor. This is a cost of about $80 but these things arent cheap so its worth it. When you walk in, the staff can see that your monitor is on and working (or not working and you need to adjust). When you go into the workout room, the monitors above you tell you your heart rate, along with everyone elses. The goal is to get into the 'orange zone'. This is where you want to be to get that 'afterburn effect'. For every minute you are in the orange or red zone, you get a 'splat point'. I dont think there is any reward for getting splat points other than getting to a final goal that your trainer may set for the group. They say that you should attempt to get 12-20 splat points in a session. You'll start in the grey zone, move up to the blue as you warm up, the green will show your warmed up, the orange is the spot where you are working, and the red is where you are going all out. You'll spend a few minutes here, but they ensure you are not uncomfortable or at risk of hurting yourself. When your workout is done, you actually are EMAILED your results for that session. The minutes you worked out, the amount of time you spent in each zone, the calories burned, and splat points earned. Coolest. Thing. Ever. If you are someone who likes a smaller class, likes to have instruction, and wants something new and exciting each workout, this is the class for you. However, if you are like ME and you are not a fan of running...then maybe you will want to try a few classes and figure it out. I am no cardio bunny. I like body weight exercises and I like the bike or elliptical but I loathe running. I went to a few workouts, the first had about 20 minutes of running (intervals of slow, medium, and fast pace) and another class had 10 minutes of running, and a bunch of rowing, and then more running. Oh my goodness, my legs were burning. I don't think I will end up signing up for Orange Theory simply because I am at a point where cardio is actually doing me a disservice. I need more weight training. While there are SOME weights here, it is lower weight, high reps, at least for the classes I attended. I definitely suggest checking this place out and giving it a try. It's very cool and the heart rate stuff is not as gimmicky as I thought, it's pretty awesome!
