It’s been an incredible gym experience, and I’ve successfully encouraged many of my friends and colleagues to join. However, it’s unfortunate that they don’t have any other branches outside of the province. I currently work with the Canadian Armed Forces and am transferring to New Brunswick. While I’m sad to leave, I can confidently say that this gym has been fantastic for the past year and a half. I highly recommend it to anyone considering switching or joining a gym. Thanks a bunch, guys!
I've recently re-entered the gym after recovering from a car accident a couple of years ago, and while I’m excited to be back, the state of the women’s change room is extremely disappointing. The bathroom stalls often look like they haven't been properly cleaned, with visible urine on the walls. The showers clearly go untouched for long periods—if you leave a hair tie in a stall, it’s still there a week later. Hard water buildup is caked on, which could easily be removed with simple cleaning solutions like Dawn and vinegar. The women's steam room is constantly out of order, and I’ve seen the same chunk of hair sitting on the drain for a week. I have advised staff more than once, but nothing seems to change. A facility like this should prioritize cleanliness, especially in shared spaces where hygiene is crucial. I really hope management takes this seriously and improves their cleaning standards.
I've been going to Fit4Less for over four years, but lately, I’ve been feeling the need for a change. The crowd there just isn’t it for me anymore. While I’ve met some great people, I want a gym that feels more like a community—somewhere I’m surrounded by like-minded individuals who take their health as seriously as I do. It also doesn’t hurt to have a little extra motivation—being around driven, active people (especially beautiful women) makes the grind even better. Plus, it’d be nice to meet someone who shares my lifestyle. I decided to give GYMVNT a shot since it’s only five minutes from my place, and so far, I’m impressed. The space is massive, the equipment is top-tier, and I love that there are plenty of areas to stretch and train without feeling crowded. I’m still getting into a consistent routine there, but I’m looking forward to seeing who else trains here.
Really bad/not kind front desk lady. The guys are ok. But definitely not as nice, kind or clean as Calgary Place GYMVMT. I love the downtown club as they’re super kind and everything is clean. With the spit marks everywhere in the men’s washroom to dirty workout mats and equipment. I’d recommend the Calgary place club. I stopped by Macleod today and ended up leaving and opting to drive to Calgary Place after such a negative and poor interaction with the lady at the desk I walked out.
