Took quite a few training sessions here with Michelle who did a greatjob: she catered to my goals, was flexible and forgiving with my schedule and any changes to it, didnt try to sell anything I dont need and pushed me just enough to keep me at my limits. The gym as such is very well provided for, is clean, spacious and the yard is a great idea and most of the time it is just you training. The big box stores are racing to the bottom, avoid their crowds, rip offs and get a trainer here!

I've had a really great experience working out at this place for the past few months! Started coming here for evening group classes in the outdoor area for a few weeks - the classes are pretty small and being outside makes me feel comfortable working out without my mask on. The equipment is sanitized after use. Everyone is really friendly and the sessions are really fun. Have also had experience doing 1-1 sessions with Michelle, who is AMAZING. Ive never done personal training before and she has made our sessions a real highlight of my day everytime I go! I have noticed changes in not only

Awesome place to workout away from crowded gyms. The trainers are experienced and truly care about their clients. My favorite thing is their Tuesday/Thursday classes " Strengthen Your Life" at 5pm

Matt's approach is personable. He provides detailed suggestions based on one's goals and fitness level. I love Fiona's Weight Training classes. The warm-up exercises and weight training circuits are written on the board before the class commences. These help get an idea of how the class is structured.
Fiona corrects form whenever required and adjusts the exercise to suit one's limitations (example: I have a right runner's knee and she provides alternate exercises to the ones listed on the board). Fiona is patient and great with monitoring progress. She provides a demo

Matt's place is a true no judgement zone, well except for when it comes to your form - he will judge and correct that! He truly listens to your feedback (and in my case constant whining) and adjust the workouts to make sure you get as much as possible out of them, without taking unnecessary risks. I refer to my sessions with Matt as therapy appointments - they helped me not only get back on track and move again (despite my unusually crappy back) but also helped me get through some not so happy times over the past few months.
