GYMVMT Fitness Club - Gateway

My experience at GYMVMT has been excellent. The facility is spotless clean and the staff are friendly; helpful and supportive. The classes are fun and engaging. The ladies working out are encouraging and supportive of one another. The infra red sauna at the end of a workout is the cherry on top!

BEWARE, Scam artists at its finest. These guys will blatantly lie to your face about payment frequencies, make you sign on a signature pad without seeing the contract (MAKE SURE YOU ASK FOR A PRINT OUT BEFORE YOU PAY START UP COSTS AND REVIEW THE CONTRACT) then keep your money when you call them out on their dishonesty. Congratulations to their outstanding employee of the year for scamming me out of $51.45, I hope you are able to sleep well knowing that you full blown lied to my face (and others so I hear). Buyers beware! None of their facilities are working, sauna is down, changerooms smell like a barn, they don't clean any of their equipment. I never stepped foot into the actual gym for the 13 days of my membership (I had a membership a few years back) and when I found out **** lied and the payments were in fact biweekly and not monthly, they still refused to refund my start up fees. Scammers. Luckily I cancelled within 14 days otherwise I would be seeing another two payments come out for a membership I will never use based on their scammer cancellation policy. Take your money elsewhere, LITERALLY anywhere, lots of reputable fully functioning and honest gyms in the area. Might I also mention that their staff members are very much aware of this scam artist employee who they've had multiple complaints about. Oh, and the general manager (won’t name names) is 4 days on the job so of course she was no help and her demeanor is atrocious, she chose to deal with the situation by sitting me in an office to confront her liar staff member who couldn't deny any my allegations! So rightfully so they get to keep my money right? STAY AWAY! Can't wait to see how they respond to this review, no cameras to refer to ****'s dishonestly and no care in the world. Guess they need the money more than I do. I will be sure to tell my community of followers to never step foot in your facility folks!

Jesse Blond is an amazing trainer, his type of training is specific for each client. He is very conscious about safety and never forces or pushes beyond my limits. He is very knowledgeable in his field and always explains how an exercise will affect the muscle being trained. On my most recent session, i had expressed the very bad pain i had been experiencing in my lower back for at least a month. Jesse showed me some specific stretches and other exercises to help relieve the pain. It has been a few days since my session and the pain is almost gone. Jesse is a professional at what he does and would refer him to anyone that is in need of a trainer.

Gymvmt is like my 2nd home great atmosphere good people. Love my coach Tasha even though she makes me mad during workout.:)

I’ve been going to GYMVMT, at Gateway for 4 years now. I love this place and have no thoughts of changing to a different one! It’s been a great experience. The staff is so friendly and welcoming. I like the gym setup and enjoy the facilities. I go for the classes as I’m not a very self motivated workout person. I am always amazed at the dedication of the instructors. Over the years, I tried out personal training as I felt I was plateauing and needed to lose weight and stay fit. I started training with Jesse. That really took me to another level where I started seeing results and really enjoying the experience. Workouts were tough and very challenging, but Jesse made it so much fun. Every workout planned was unique and It gave me motivation to continue training and be part of the gym. Thank you to the staff for your dedication and support! And a special thank you to my trainer!

GYMVMT Gateway is a great club to workout in. From the front desk staff, the management, the group fitness instructors and the personal fitness trainers, they are all amazing and you can tell that they love what they do.

I personally train with Jesse Blond and just love how much confidence I've gained at the gym training with him.

Coming from the now closed SpaLady on 23rd, I was a bit intimidated to start at a new (co-ed) gym. Initially I only attended their group fitness classes. After getting to know Jesse and his training methods, I decided to add him to my training regimen. The best decision I ever made! I have gained so much confidence and learned so much about my body, how and when to push myself, and how to work out effectively and efficiently. I am doing things in the gym I've never done before and getting stronger, fitter and faster every day and it feels damn good!

Keep up the great work GYMVMT Gateway team!

I used to attend GYMVMT Edmonton and was disappointed with the personal trainer service. Despite paying for the personal trainer service, I consistently suffered from injuries that caused me to lose valuable workout time. In fact, I believe the trainer caused a serious joint tear that I am still recovering from six months later. In addition, the equipment was outdated and in need of repair or replacement. On a positive note, the price was reasonable. However, the gym's early closing time made it difficult for me to fit workouts into my schedule. Overall, my experience at GYMVMT Edmonton was not a positive one, and I would not recommend their personal training service.

I've been coming to this gym for many years due to the encouraging atmosphere, the supportive staff members, and the easy access to equipment. I'm rarely ever waiting for a rack to be free!
Jesse is a wonderful manager and trainer and is very dedicated to helping his members and clients achieve their training goals.

I've been going to GYMVMT for 2 years now and love it. The staff, instructors, and trainers are all very friendly and professional. My trainer Jesse goes above and beyond to keep me accountable and on track with my fitness journey.

Been coming here for just over 3 years! Super nice and clean. Excellent staff! Always feel safe and supported in my fitness journey. Have been training with Jesse for 2 years and he’s absolutely amazing!

The worst gym I’ve ever been too-
Be cautious signing up with them as they will harass and bill you after canceling your no contract membership.
There’s multiple Reddit forums and a Facebook group about this gym.

Seems nice. First time going with my boyfriend tonight. Jordan was very friendly and gave us a thorough your. We were able to get in for the $1 promotion for the next 2 visits (over 3 days), but I think we'll be signing up for full memberships. Very clean facility.

I spoke to Ryan, he was personable and incredibly friendly! I would absolutely recommend this gym for it's welcoming environment.

During the pandemic my gym I had been going to for almost 13 years shut down. When I heard the news, I sat down on my couch and cried. I was so upset because I thought I’d never find a place I’d love again so much. I was SO wrong. Gymvmt has been my second home. I immediately felt so welcome. From the beginning the staff called me by name. The facility is always clean, they provide all the things to get ready for your day, towel, hair driers, straighteners, lotions, razors.etc. They have great classes too! I really can’t say enough about how awesome the gym is, but what’s even better is the community. I love all the people. So many encouraging women. The regulars that make my experience at the gym everyday feel like home. It really saved my life!

As you walk in a friendly face! The gym provides me enough equipment and the members are friendly. Everyone is there to feel good and improve their bodies and minds! I also really enjoy the classes so many different ways to enhance your body. Love it all!

Unusually hard to cancel membership at end of contract. Would no recommend to anyone. One month left on contract and they want to charge 90 dollars to cancel. Had to go in three times to get sorted out. Head office apparently does not have a phone number nor does Nazar the manager

My friend referred me to get Rachel as my PT as I am trying to get back into shape again after pandemic. Rachel was wonderful, very passionate with her job and very knowledgeable! She didn’t only helped me get back on track, we worked on my diet, self-esteem, confidence and mindset which are my greatest take away! It was a fun workout always and she gave me alternatives and when I am about to give up, she reminds me that I can do better and this keeps me going! Thank you to all the wonderful staff, sadly I had to leave due to relocation. Kudos to you all!

Horrible place. Scammers. Incompetent staff. Stay away.
Edit: you want to talk now so I’ll remove my review, but you could have talked when we were on the phone at the time of the incident. You could have “made it better” back then by simply LISTENING to us. Instead you were unprofessional, rude, and condescending. I’m not interested in talking to you (since you weren’t interested in talking when you had the chance). I’m just here to warn everyone to stay the hell away from here.

Gym is great. Management and communication is awful. Changed my review from 5 stars to 2. Only reason for the 2 is the physical gym space.
Been a member for over 10+ years sad to see.

Update: Lowered rating to 1 stars (would be no stars if I could). GM Jacob was condescending, rude and hung up on my wife when she tried to cancel her membership. Not to mention the run around. Purposely delayed calling my wife back until the new month so she would be charged. My wife and I collectively have been members for 20+yrs. See ya Gymvmt! Do better!

Really just not impressed with the facility or how the company is run in general. However without getting too political, this gym really just labels members as dollar signs instead of supporting and creating a healthy community around itself and its facilities. There are much better gyms out there, this is just another Big corporate gym looking to make bank instead of having a real and positive influence.

Watch your funds and make sure you thoroughly understand your contract. Do not take their word for it.

Im a few months new to this gym, it’s always very clean and welcoming, all the staff are nice. Shout out to trainers Rachel and Lindsay for getting me started out here and helping me get into the groove again. This gym rules!

Really great club! The space inside is super awesome, lots of room between machines and equipment. Large group fitness rooms. They have a turf zone which is nice. But they don't have a stretching or abs area anywhere. So everyone ends up stretching on the turf which renders it useless for what it's actually for.
On the other side of there being lots of room, they are sort of lacking some equipment machines.

Overall a great gym!

Good gym, but staff doesn't enforce covid protocols. Gym members are expected to follow the instructions shown on signs posted in various areas. Many members don't though, so the experience can be unpleasant for people that do follow protocol.

This is to GYMVMT as a whole. As someone who used to work there I am contionously disgusted with their practices. I signed up for the GYMVMT city center that got closed down beginning of June. I found out through the massage clinic in the gym that they were closing down weeks before I heard anything from GYMVMT. Upon recieving the shut down of GYMVMT email, I replied asking to cancel my account, as that was the only gym that was convinient for me. It has been since June, and I have paid more in biweekly fees than I would have just canceling my account. I reached out again recently and STILL havent heard anything back. It has been nearly 3 months, I am still being charged, have not been contacted. This buisness has poor communication and needs to be better.

Trying to freeze a membership for weeks now, no replies. On the fun side, im being charged an additional $10 every other week besides the regular bi-weekly payments. Not sure if I will be able to talk to anyone about that either. Canceling the membership at the first chance, hoping to at least get this additional $20 per month refunded as I don't know why it is being charged.

They will credit your membership a small amount to buy reviews from members to puff themselves up. Don't believe the reviews, this gym is struggling, they steal from members charging them when they are not even open. You can’t get a hold of anyone. They constantly are having to re-staff. I'm finally out from under them, and happy to be so, it was better when World Health.

I love this place! It's become my second home. The personal trainers are so wonderful.

Everyone seems to be following protocol's which is great to see.

I only had one incident with an employee based on their rude attitude at the front desk but I don't think they work there anymore.

Great gym and attentive staff, considering how bad goodlife has become during pandemic this gym deserves 5 stars.

The gym is always clean and not crowded either. The staff at the gym are very good to deal with and a good selection of great trainers. The covid protocols in place are very good. I wanted to add that this location most definitely set itself apart from other of the same company and from other gyms. This location has amazingly helpful staff that seem to go above and beyond many times with even the simple things of like knowing your name when you walk in and always have that friendly attitude. Sofia Is one employee that comes to mind and I know that its tough times for businesses right now and I hope that when all this is over and life somes back to normal that people like Sofia will be back as well. Take care and be safe GYMVMT staff.

Really great club! The space inside is super awesome, lots of room between machines and equipment. Large group fitness rooms. They have a turf zone which is nice, but because they don't have a stretching or abs area anywhere. Everyone ends up stretching on the tilurt which renders it useless for what it's actually for.
And on the other side of there being lots of room, they are sort of lacking on some equipment machines. They don't many leg machines, but still enough of everything to hit the spot.

Overall a great gym!

Awesome gym, has a lot of equipment and the staff are super friendly. Very clean gym / locker room. The only downside is it does get fairly busy between 4-6, so it does limit some workouts. Has everything you need though!

Don't offer what they advertise in market.false advertisement and rip you off with management fees when you cancel the membership.

Open with online booking during pandemic. I came everyday since 2001. Convenient location. Well maintained and managed.

It’s rough when you go in and expect them to deal with integrity but find out that was just a smoke screen to get you signed up. I went in and saw Isabelle and she told me I could sign up and pay cash for biweekly payments but it turns out that isn’t the case, so they took my money for the annual facility fee, then let me know a week later I have to put a card on file.then they have the nerve to not give you a refund. Unbelievable business tactics.

Same old World Health gym, just a different name, same staff, same trainers, same attitudes. You can’t move equipment around, rearrange the place, and change the name, and think that’s all you need to do. There was a reason everyone left there, there’s a reason no ones going back.

Great new gym, this is not World Health. Great staff, gym equipment is new and clean, and the place has had a big massive makeover. I’d recommend checking them out. You get a free week trial, nothing to lose.

Popped in here for a workout while in town and was pleased with the selection of equipment. Lots of cardio, free weights, and even an area for power lifting and Olympic lifts.
The change rooms were well appointed, bright and clean.
Wish my GYMVMT location in Calgary was this good!

This club deserve 5 stars for sure. Very clean facility, nor crowded or busy even on peak hours. Jusine from front desk is beyond friendly and curious and whenever I come to the gym she always says HI, now that is Great customer service.

All this talk about new equipment but all I see is has gotten worse literally fixing cables with black tape all the did is flip it hide the ugly under some paint.very clear there just out to save a buck

The location is great, gym hours is great, staff there are very friendly, the manager there is so efficient, can't ask for more.

Very nice staff and well organized gym. Steam has been down since Thursday and was told it wouldn't be fixed untill monday hopefully which was very disappointing as I'm on a trial period and seeing if this is the right fit for me.

It's unfortunate but old management just really did things backwards. Rescheduling appointments and not being transparent on their programs. I signed up for the personal trainer special and then was told on my next visit it had to be used within 2 weeks of purchase.

Overall a great gym! Has everything you could want from body building/power lifting to the cardio bunny. Downside is AC in the summer is pretty lack-luster and the two-year commitment thing is pretty intense.

However, I work out of town and they are offering up to 6 months credit/year so that's a better bonus than any other gym right now! Plus their membership is sitting around $20/bi weekly, making it highly competitive.

New and improved great plans great fitness consultants nice dressing rooms sauna and showers kids club and towel service available

Clean, decently-equipped gym. Would like to see more squat racks and open space for body weight exercises. I appreciate that there's a women's-only section, however it is noticeably less maintained compared to the rest of the gym. Front of house staff definitely leave something to be desired - most will not greet you, and will make it seem like scanning your membership tag is the ultimate inconvenience while they're trying to chat with their coworkers. The trainers are good.

I wanted to join and found it cost about $300 more a year to pay in full up front than to do a payment plan. They really want your bank account information so bad that they will charge you a 30% penalty to pay when you join. I had a membership before at their old location when they were Club Fit and that took me two years to cancel. It seems they changed their name, but not their business practices.

Just went to ask how much $ a month to join, felt like I was getting a mortgage. The reception had no information or brochure or nothing on her monitor. Is this a secret society? Is there a secret handshake? Do I put my application for this ritzy establishment and the big brass decide to allow me to join after days of deliberation? Finally after about 5 minutes, talked to the head mistress, turned out to be waaaaaaayyy too much for what I need it for.

The instructor were very friendly and kind.they guide us very well and i like the cleanliness.here we can find all the required equipment which is also a plus point. The fees was also moderate.overall nice place

Nice facility, has everything you need, change rooms and showers have all amenities! Puts GoodLife to shame.

All around great environment, and staff. LOVE LOVE LOVE the girls in kids club. They dont get enough praise for how wonderful they are! It's so much easier to come spend time here when I know my daughter is having fun and being treated like family.

It's ok. Lots of the workout machines are pretty dated and used. I wish they put more effort in the women's only section. Hard trying to concentrate when you are being watched.

I have had a great experience with my trainer Jordan Berger at Gateway World health, he has customized my sessions to my distinct situation and keeps the sessions interesting with creative work outs

Best gym I've been to. Private showers for men, helpful staff, quality equipment, a female only section, towels on demand, and very optimal environment for working out.

Love this place so much when I was a member the staff were all so friendly and kind and now I work here and love every minute of it highly recommend you come here! 10/10

Come see me for and exercise advice or guidance I’m a personal trainer here!

The gym is very clean and has all the equipment you need for a great workout. The atmosphere of the gym is one of the best in the city. The trainers are always on the floor and willing to help with anything you need.

Facilities are great. Equipments are new. Lots of crowd because one of there location in south has been permanently closed. Not giving one start because of the price they offer. Their price is high compares to their competitors. They even know that competitions is rising. So I end up unsubscribing them

The gym is over-packed, and they made me sign a 2 year contract minimum.you pay $100 fee to cancel, paying double per month than most other gyms, with limited locations inside and out of the city. They would't accommodate my travel plans just to top it off - I had to leave the country for a few months! They will milk your dollars. ON a positive note, good staff, clean gyms and washrooms.
