Kalev Fitness Solution

I participated in the 6 week challenge and it was a great investment of my time: ’) really awesome facilities and received amazing support from the staff and my trainer Rian. The weekly personal training sessions helped me so much in terms of my form and goals and I’m really glad to have participated in the challenge.

I accepted the 6w challenge and have not regreted it. I'm not sure I'll succeed on it but I still love the place. Everybody is professional and nice, I felt welcomed and did not feel judged. All good things.

Cool service and communication style of trainers there! You can also choose some fighting style to learn

Their 6-week challenge really gets results. I was at my all time heaviest and feeling completely out of shape but Brennan helped me turn a corner. A good balance of meal planning and a regular workout routine did the trick. Weekly PT sessions really helped me stay accountable. I had never tried kickboxing before but Brennan mixed in a some sessions and was fantastic at getting me up to speed. I saw fantastic results overall. Close to doubling my goals in 6 weeks!

I did the 6week fitness challenge at Kalev fitness and it was an absolute blast. It was exactly the push I needed to get back into the swing of things to become a regular at the gym again. Kalev is such a personable guy and overall great guy. Samer was incredible with me along each step of the way and was all I could have asked for. I can tell he’s a really important piece to make the place run as smoothly as it does. I had numerous injuries that I was concerned about but all the personal trainers were so very knowledgeable and able to assist me with my injuries so that were not a major issue. I worked primarily with Rian who helped provide me with a strong routine and made sure I was using proper form. Alochen and Brennan were awesome during group and individual classes. Great value at this private gym in downtown Vancouver! I’m really looking forward to continuing to use this gym 3-4 times a week.

I joined 4 week fitness challenge at kalev a month ago. Samer is amazing - he’s the one who encouraged me to join this program. I definitely recommend my trainer, Alochen, who has great knowledge. He was very helpful with my workouts and correcting my form and getting better results. I also really love the gym environment and nice equipments. I have seen great results through this program and I also have decided to continue with the training. Samer has been very motivating and helpful through this journey, Thank You Samer

Warning: endless unwanted communication, disrespectful staff.
After attending a 15-minute meeting to discuss their 6 week challenge I informed them it was not for me and requested to be removed from their communication list. They continued to send multiple texts and emails every day anyway. I responded to the texts and emails, left two voicemails, and spoke with staff three times on the phone over the last ten days repeating my request, yet today I received another email and was spoken to in a rude manner on the phone when I called about it to express my frustration.
I hope whoever reads this from the company does not contact me any further about it as my time has already been wasted enough trying to deal with this. The negative impression they have made on me cannot be changed at this point.

**EDIT added after company response: although I specifically indicated above that I hoped they would not contact me again, I found the response below to be polite and helpful. It's simply too bad that 1) the texts and emails indicate that recipients are able to reply to the message (and therefore someone should be reading the responses), and 2) that instead of politely passing along this suggestion during any of our phone calls, staff kept falsely promising they had removed me from the list, then argued with me about it today on the phone.

Great gym! Front desk staff Samer is really friendly and helpful. My trainer Alochen is knowledgeable, kind and patient. I highly recommend Kalev Fitness Solution for personal training.

Kalev Fitness Center is one of the best Gyms I've ever tried! Starting with their trainers such as Alochen, Rian and Brendan. They will push and motivate you to reach your goals with their help. Also, the building has amenities, such as very nice restrooms, a hair dryer, etc, and modern lockers. Also, the machines that have the gym are almost brand new. Everything is so clean, and everyone there is so NICE! ALSO! One of the leading heads, Sommer, will always help you with any problem or question! He will make you feel at home all the time you get there. He will always greet you with a big smile:)

Worst gym! Their fitness challenge is a fraud. They solely run the gym for business. Don't even think of participating in their challenge; they took $313 from me for a four-week challenge and didn't return it. They use the weighing data to make their own calculations and tells us you didn’t hit some stupid goals. The trainers were excellent, we followed all of their instructions, and in the end, we are to blame for failing to achieve the goal, which was never communicated. Sam, the front-end employee seems like the nicest person when you first meet him will become the worst person you have ever met in your life. He doesn't make it clear what the goals are or what to do to get the money back. After the challenge, we are trying to call him and he never gets back. He didn’t even mail us about the challenge follow up for 3 weeks after it. We have to go there to talk about it at last and Brendon, the manager talked to us and came back with an email that they can’t refund the money, only give some credits to use the gym. Most of the people working out in the gym are either doing the challenge or working out to get their credits back. No one else will choose it. Only respect to the trainers. I wish they had a better place to work.

Joined the team here on the 6 week challenge and I completed it! The PT's at this gym are all wonderful, friendly and helpful. Shout out to Brendan who helped me achieve my goal in 6 weeks, as well as Alo who's a blast, and Samer who signed me up. One feedback comment would be that the organisation and communication could be slightly better! But all round great gym, great people and great times.

Kalev Fitness's 6 weeks challenge was the perfect motivation for me to lose my COVID-19 fats! I was a bit desperate to lose weight since I kept gaining pounds no matter how much I exercise, even if I'm doing Crossfit before. The way they structure their program was superb! Not only will they provide you with all the information you need, such as proper meal plans and customized workouts, but you will also meet excellent coaches and staff that will motivate you throughout the challenge. I would highly recommend my assigned Personal Trainer, Martin Weintritt. He really kept me moving forward with my challenge. He goes beyond what a regular PT does. He taught me how to do the right way of buying groceries (One of my main problems before, lol). He will reply to any of your enquiries and concerns with a positive and friendly attitude. Most importantly, he pushed me to be a better version of myself.

If you're tired of exercising every day and not hitting your goals, I would highly suggest you try Kalev Fitness Solution. You would definitely feel welcomed and will not have any awkward feeling when you're working out. (Not being salesy, just my real experience)

Starting weight: 181.6 lbs BF: 27.2%
End weight: 168 lbs BF: 20.2% (-7% BF in 6 weeks)

I've been coming here regularly since Spring 2019 when I successfully completed a 6-week fitness challenge and lost over 6% body fat in that time. The group fitness classes are challenging, the trainers are great and are very capable of modifying any workouts / exercises for anyone with injuries, and the class sizes are just right. It's an investment in yourself and it's worth it!

I've had the best experience with Kalev and the team. The sales staff and admin were all so helpful and courteous, always going above and beyond. I will be recommending to everyone I know!

I did the six-week fitness challenge with group classes. The challenge kept me motivated, and the group fitness classes kept me accountable. I was able to learn more exercises/workouts, and the trainers helped me do them properly. I definitely saw results after six weeks. Gym equipment was clean, the staff was friendly, and the atmosphere is nice.

Just finished the four week challenge. It was awesome! I’ve learned a lot from the personal training and the accountability portion of the challenge was really great! I was able to make my goal and also learn some new recipes along the way! Super glad that I signed up for this and can’t wait to continue my journey. Thank you team!

READ THIS BEFORE JOINING -

Me and my friend joined this 4 week challenge. The people working in the front desk are fraud. They will be nicest person and will show you around and make it seem the challenge is easy for you regardless of you body type or gym experience. They would explain the 4 pound muscle mass or weight loss in general, they don't assess wether your body will adapt to it (in the end once everything is done they will be like -oh everyone's body is different so that's why you didn't hit the goal, rather than working towards helping you achieve it). In our case we were given 4 percent weight loss (we asked SAM we need to increase our strength and decrease body fat), he will sound as if there are programs we need to achieve this.

We worked out 20+ days did everything the Trainers advised, had high protein diet. And in 2 weeks my muscle mass gain was 3 pounds, which is amazing. Now we did more workouts the following two weeks and they said it's only. 7 pounds of gain, eventhough we had improved workout sessions and superior diet.

Their whole idea is to make sure they don't give the refund and keep the money and give it to you as credits to keep you in the gym which is good for people who want to continue.

In my case I have another gym membership and I didn't want to do so. This is their game plan so be mindful of what you are getting into.

During my time I have met more than 5 people signed up around our same time non of them got their money back for various reasons.

-do not trust Sam who will sign you up without properly explaining, he will rush it just like any sales guy and get your money and be the most friendly person alive. Right after few days you will see his exact character.

Ryan and Isabel where our PT they really pushed us to our limits. And they were excellent. Respect to those folks to be working in the toxic environment to keep a happy face and knowing that most of their clients are losing money.

This is not just about giving stars they are running this as fraud to snatch peoples hard earned money giving false sales pitch. Only few people will stand up for this. Legal action should be taken and thorough investigation should be done on this firm on how they conduct business.

I am having a blast in this gym. I loved Samer and Brennan for their help and guidance. They have exclusive gym and washroom facilities. They take care of you. Keep you motivated no matter at what stage you are in. Thats the best of Kalev!

I paid 50 bucks as a deposit, due to some personal reasons I was not able to pursue this challenge, I immediately texted them sorry things would not work out can you please return my money, I got answer $50 is non refundable as mentioned in form, which was never told at the time of visiting, even though signing up form was done so quickly.
Even at the day i met I was not 100% sure, I told them I will do another day, right now I have to leave my parking time is almost expired, they said it’s gonna take two minutes, I had to do that in rush, and it was never told the deposit is non refundable, well now they are stealing my money.

I love the gym, the trainers & the challenge really motivated me to get in shape. Such a great & welcoming atmosphere

From Day 1, I have been taken care of very well by Kalev staff.

Samer & Poonam are very helpful and friendly despite being uber busy!

Alochen has been an awesome personal trainer.
He's got great energy.
Don't be fooled, the guy may be young, but he's wise.

Great job 'Team Kalev'! Keep it up gang! =)

I would not recommend this fitness challenge to anyone. Couple of my friends joined the challenge and the organizers did not deliver on their promises of money back. Instead they try to give gym credit and asked them to take membership. If you're looking for a legitimate fitness program, look elsewhere.

Fitness challenge is fraud. They will not give the money back! I will give -5 if I had the option

Fitness challenge is a scam at this place - they never refunds even if you achieve the goals and counters it by giving option of credit if you only continue membership in the gym.

No one should fall for this again, watch out people

Stay away folks
Their challenge is a complete robbery. My friends got ridiculously scammed!

I did a 6-weeks challenge. Overall, very satisfied with friendly environment. Staffs are willing to provide you with guidance. A great medium size gym with plenty of equipments and lots of classes to pick. Highly recommended!

I just finished a four-week fitness challenge with Kalev Fitness, and I had a great time. The personal trainers are extremely skilled and dedicated to assisting you in achieving your fitness objectives. Strongly recommended
