She’s FIT!

Lots of hidden fees. And they just take out of your bank account. And when i cancelled, gave a months notice, they took the last month out and i asked, is there going to be any other fees or problems? They said no, i get a letter from someone named «shadie», saying i owe $ 88. No reason why, just that i closed the account and this money is magically going to collections. I paid every month so no outstanding there. Just overall bad service. They charge u for a mandatory fitness assessment, dont tell you it costs money when they book it, just that its mandatory then afterwards, ask you for the money as they do nothing for you at all. No one even showed me how to use the equipment or gave me any advice.

I wish I could give this 0 stars.
I was interested in finding a gym closer to where I live, so I set up a meeting with a trainer. It’s safe to say that I had every intention of joining after this compulsory meeting. I made an appointment early in the morning, thinking that I would be in and out and able to get to work on time. So I walked in, and told the receptionist that I had an appointment and that I was going to go pay for parking, she acknowledged that. But, when I walked in a minute later, she told me that the trainer was busy with a walk-​in.
I’m wondering why it was appropriate to take a walk-​in client over someone who had an appointment — VERY unprofessional and a complete waste of my time.
Second, why did the receptionist not tell me this before I paid for parking?
At this point, I was still willing to give this gym a chance considering these things happen. However, when I asked the receptionist a question about times and an estimate, she told me that I would have to wait and that she’s «just a receptionist». I asked her if she could look online and translate the information on there, again she said she can’t help me.
Not only did I leave this place frustrated, I also wasted my time looking into an unprofessional establishment. I can only imagine what it would be like working out here every other day.
My friends and I will be looking elsewhere, for sure!

The n. Delta gym is down to about 5 channels on their tvs since the cable provider changed to digital. I’ve been told for well over a month they are working on a solution. Not good enough. They will be signing up all these new people in the new year and I’m sure not one of them will be told there is hardly any channels.

I’m not sure what everyone is complaining about the costs for… I pay 15 $ a month as advertised and 10 $ joining fee and the 30 $ mandatory fitness assessment. They also have great promotions so you can try the gym for 7 days free. They were completely upfront about the costs and were never pushy. The staff are really awesome and friendly. The facility is clean and is never packed when I’m there, no wait times for machines and machines are always in good working condition. The fitness assessment is definitely just a money grab but hey no other gyms are this cheap and if you really don’t know where you are fitness wise then this will give you some basic info.
For the price you won’t get anything better, if you need a higher class gym then you will pay a higher class price.

It’s probably not worth it to be elite. I’ve had my membership for 5 years and i’ve taken a lot of classes but they’ve gone downhill over the years. I find the instructors rather boring. Now I just go in the evenings for a regular workout, and it’s relatively quieter after the «after work» rush at around 7pm. In general it’s an OK place to work out.

Monthly costs are low as well as the group classes, but they charge you a lot for the sign up. It cost me about $ 70.
$ 20 for a member card, $ 30 for a fitness assessment, and so on.
That «assessment» seems like a waste of time for you and easy $ 30 for them.
Other than that it’s a good place. Some of the equipment is old, but everything’s clean and well maintained.
Comfortable temperature, good ventilation, no odours.

The gym is good, they have a lot of equipment and the staff are fine. My issue is the fees… They have start up fees and they made me pay almost $ 100 for late payment, however I had already payed the extra fee when I changed method of payment. So basically I was charged twice. If you want to end the contract you have to wait for anniversary date or pay $ 75. Allthough it seems like youre only paying $ 14.99 to 27.99 per month if you add all their fees its a lot more.
I did have a good experience with the healthy transformation plan. I lost 20lbs but it is hard because no one follows up with you as to how you are doing. Its hard to find all female gyms but Im not sure it is worth it for a student like myself… it seems cheaper than the alternatives but it really isnt.
I would actually give it a 2.5 out of 5.

The staff is friendly, the machines are well maintained and the place is clean
Best part is all the amazing group fitness classes that are included with membership. Fantastic gym. Thanks Trevor Linden!

If you’re looking for a bare bone gym — you’ve found it. It’s a no frills gym with weak customer service but it’s affordable and decently clean (as clean as a gym can be)

The best thing about this gym is that is ridiculously cheap — $ 15/​month for the basic plan, no contract — but it’s the epitome of «you get what you pay for»; it’s not terrible, but not a top-​notch facility. If you’re a casual gym goer looking for a cheap place, you might like this place. Lots of cardio machines with TV’s on them which is nice. Only one squat rack and a Smith machine. Other machines are old but still functioning. Plates only go up to 25 lbs and there is one set of 35’s. Gets busy during peak hours but it’s not too bad during the day, rarely do you have to wait for a cardio machine. Parking costs $ 30 ish a year, and there are usually spots available at all times during the day.
There is a mandatory fitness test which is really just a way for them to take more money from you. They hook up some stuff to you and claim that they can calculate your body fat percentage that way, which by the way, is not accurate. Then they ask you about your eating habits and don’t really give recommendation. Overall it’s a pretty useless assessment unless you have very little knowledge about your own body.
There are fitness classes that seem to be pretty popular and are included in membership I believe, and a tanning booth if that happens to be your thing. The weekend hours are absolutely terrible (8−4pm) and they’re usually closed on all the stat holidays.

The problem is there’s not very many ladies only gyms out there. Sure they have ladies sections at co-​ed gyms but I prefer to go to an all women gym so it’s a bit of a double-​edged sword as I prefer not to go here but I have no other choice…
Please note that what you’re signing up for is very deceiving. They advertise the monthly fee as $ 14.99/month but did you know that when you do decide to sign-​up, there’s about $ 100 in fees which includes (a gym card fee, administrative fees etc.)? In addition, you need to take a mandatory fitness test ($ 30) and every May of each year, you have to pay a maintenance fee ($ 30).
If you calculate everything out, it works out to be about $ 30/​month for the first year. Some might consider this to still be a good deal but remember, this is a basic membership only which means no fitness classes included and you can only visit one location. A bit pricey wouldn’t you say?
The fitness test is an absolute joke. I went in, they asked me what my goal was and what type of foods I would normally eat. They took my blood pressure (which I can get done for free at Superstore), took my weight, height and body mass index (which most scales will give you or you can go to your doctor to get it done for free) and in the end said to me, «Well you’re on the right path to eating right and you just need to keep exercising and you should meet your goals». Well DUH I KNEW THAT ALREADY! Tell me something I didn’t know? Although the girls are super friendly, they’re not very knowledgeable. This is obviously just a cash grab by the company.
The gals that sign you up for the membership do make commission so there can be a bit of pressure to sign on the dotted line (depending on who you get). However, note the Receptionists do not make any commission — you’ll notice when you try and ask a membership-​related question, they direct you to someone else. It can be a bit frustrating if the receptionist can’t answer your question but it’s because they’re not allowed to so don’t get mad at them (I know because my girlfriend used to work there)
I prefer to go elsewhere but unfortunately my options are none…

Signed up for an Elite membership online cause you can use any location and I like the added free tanning.
I was called to come in and sort out some papers, etc. So I went in and they were perfectly friendly and the gym seems new and clean from the reception area. However I was just asked to sign the contract, asked for a method of payment and then handed an envelope of papers and sent on my way.
No indication of when or how I will get my card (they start you with a temp pass) or of when I can do an orientation or the fitness assessment that they charge you $ 29 for every May. According to the papers I got they think they stand apart from other gyms because each new member starts with a series of 3 appointments and a fitness assessment meant to allow you to familiarize yourself with the gym so you don’t find it nerve racking and stop going… I was not shown this experience.
I live closer to Highgate so I will usually go to that location and likely only visit the Metrotown location for the odd class.

Super disappointed! I work out at she’s fit the classes and equipment are maintained up to standard BUT the tanning is atrocious! The stand up bed is missing an entire wall of bulbs causing an uneven tan. They supply paper towels to clean the beds (which you’re expected to clean before and after your tan). ALL tanning salons and gyms I’ve attended supply a small towel to clean the beds, this is much more efficient and isn’t wasting excessive amount of paper!!! Seriously disgusts me the amount of wasted paper. The lay down bed is a weak 20 minute bed and they top you off at 12 minutes not allowing you to receive the full effect not to mention they do not even have a pillow or neck/​brace in the shitty lay down bed. NOT IMPRESSED!

She’s fit has awesome rates and if you pay for the Elite membership you get to attend classes and get free tanning. The beds are usually okay until the lights need to be replaced, but make sure to clean them before and after, since people are using them after their sweaty workouts. Other than that no complaints the classes are awesome and the staff is extremely sweet. OH, just a heads up for all Elite members you can even go to Club 16 Trevor Linden Fitness if you’re in the Highgate Burnaby area instead…

I’ll tell you the good, the bad, and the ugly.
PRICING:
The good is that the monthly pricing of She’s Fit is considerably lower than other gyms. The bad and ugly is their advertising can be deceptive. 10 dollars a month promo? Yes but you have to pay $ 100+ up front, and an additional $ 20 to «lock in» your monthly fee so that it doesn’t go up. Oh, and a mandatory fitness test which costs $ 30. After a year, you’ll also have to pay in to their equipment improvement fee. If you decide to cancel, for some reason they need a month’s notice so you’ll still have to pay up for another month. When my friends and I were still contemplating a time to sign up, the sales girl really pushed us to come back during her shift so that she can meet her numbers. I think there is definitely a line between being an assertive salesperson, and just coming off as pushy.
To be fair, this kind of pricing scheme and attitude seems pretty common in the fitness club industry, for whatever reason. Sales come first. Despite all the extra fees, it is still a lot cheaper than other gyms which start at $ 50+ a month.
THE FITNESS TEST:
Basically at the fitness test they go over your fitness goals, and give you suggestions for how to meet them. They also take your blood pressure, and size measurements (optional). I didn’t find the test itself helpful, but Alisha, the girl who was doing the fitness test for us was super friendly.
FACILITIES:
This place used to be a Just Ladies Fitness, so you can tell things have been renovated since then. The change rooms and washrooms could use an update, but the equipment all seems fairly new. There’s quite a lot of treadmills and elipticals, which is awesome. Definitely a step up from the local Bonsor community centre. The cardio equipment each has an individual TV, so an hour of cardio for me goes by pretty fast. For me this is a big plus, because my biggest barrier going to the gym is getting bored staring into space. If you know what you want out of a local gym, then this might be right for you.
Also, once in a while there are drips from the ceiling, which staff says is from condensation. Ummm that’s nice but I don’t think anyone wants to get splashed by that.

With the price you pay for a membership. It’s not too back. I bought a membership while it was on promo and for $ 20/​month, I was able to use all the facilities and classes as well. A few of my friends have the Club 16 membership so with my membership, I get access to that gym too. They have been doing their best with the renovations. Last year they changed the carpet and hopefully this year they can renovate the washrooms. The club has been adding extra classes to accommodate the demand which I think is pretty nice.

This used to be Just Ladies Fitness. They had a promo going on for $ 14.99/month, but I chose the ‘Elite’ package for $ 24.99/month so I could work out at any gym on their list and also sometimes I like to tan.
I went in there, knowing what I want out of a gym. I was honest and upfront with the sales rep and I told her to not to try to sell me anything. I just want to work out, I don’t want to be bothered. I was working out at a community centre that was charging me $ 42/​month and their equipment was failing. So this is a big step up. I just have to drive a little further, but I’m okay with that.
So happy here. I’m motivated because they have all new equipment, classes and also. TV’s on all their cardio equipment.
The staff is helpful and nice and that’s all I care about. I’m deducting one star because you have to pay for parking. $ 33/​year for a pass or 50 cents an hour. Free parking would be better :)
