The Underground Fit Club

My experience so far with this Fit Club has nothing but positive. I completed the 100 days of Fit Skool and made some great personal improvements fitness wise. This was my first time at a gym and the standards are set quite high for future programs of this type. The coaches know what they're talking about and always have a positive attitude. The community in this Club is a big part of the experience as well, I never met someone I didn't like. Definitely worth the investment just to learn about fitness and be part of a community.

This isn’t just a Gym… it’s a family. You get close to the people you are in glass with and you start pushing for the success not only of yourself but the people around you. The coaching team is small but mighty. Every worker, including the owner, Dr Jamie, knows you by name. If regular old gym routines don’t work for you, Jamie, Ash, Jean Marc, and Jack are people to definitely look towards.

I just love my personal training sessions with coach Ashley! When I signed up for personal training sessions I was looking for extra accountability and support and Ashley has given me just that! She’s always encouraging me to push myself and keeps my workouts fun and challenging! She’s also been able to customize my workouts to fit my personal fitness goals. Thank you Ashley!

I had a shoulder injury and had stopped most physical activity. As a result I had very little strength. In joining the UFC I found support in working where I was at. The coaches are great at providing modifications to exercises to help ultimately build needed strength —-always better to do something than nothing. Since attending UFC I have noticed a significant improvement in my strength. I am able to perform various exercises that I was unable to do when I started. The coaches are great and stress proper form and developing the foundations first. I look forward to coming to the gym and I continue to see progress in my strength and flexibility. Can’t wait to see what I can achieve over the next months.

A great positive space! Coach Ashley is one in a million and am so glad we connected! So excited to continue on this journey of getting stronger, improving health, and building confidence!

Thanks team!

Overall, this is probably the best experience I've had in a gym setting. I like how I don't have to plan my workouts, and that they are different. I like the classes are focused and small so I don't need individualist training to feel that I'm getting the attention I need. I feel accomplished at the end of the session as well.

I would like to see more classes available, as a girl with a 9-5 job, so sometimes it can be hard to get the classes but I make it work!

The Fit Club is amazing. When I first stepped into the UFC I felt welcomed as part of the family. The coaches are very knowledgeable and encouraging and so are the other gym members. I have now completed my 100 days + and wow do I feel so much better. Looking forward to continuing my fitness journey with the UFC

I can not recommend this gym enough! The coaching staff are so amazing. Everyone I have meet (staff and clients alike) have been so friendly and so supportive. Underground fit club don’t just hand out a membership and then leave you on your own. Every workout I go to is a small group lead by coaches that have the training, and knowledge and really care about every individual.

I have to say the UFC has changed my life. The professionalism of the staff is remarkable. They give me the motivation to get up and get moving. I feel great, I have muscle tone again and my energy levels are through the roof. Thanks fit club

Herman has been a great coach to get me motivated in a safe and fun environment. His attention to warm up stretches and cool down breath work is really appreciated.

Amazing experience, coaches are awesome and knowledgeable, very friendly! Gym is clean and well equipped, the classmates are amazing and make for a wonderful overall experience! I would recommend this to anyone looking to get into a group workout environment to help push you to the next level or just to get on track to a healthier lifestyle!

Where do I start? The Underground Fit Club is what I think about when I think of the perfect gym. The club has awesome energy. The knowledge that you get from the trainers here is amazing, they are always eager to help and will to take time with you. Also they understand what you are striving for and they WILL get you there and further, while having fun. The classes are intense for every level, and you will love the diverse workout combinations. Highly recommended!

The coaches are informative, the hours are fairly flexible, and i improved a lot in a relatively short amount of time.

Started with rehab, staying to build …. Great workouts! Trainers are knowledgeable, encouraging, & supportive! You should meet the team, Jay, Herman, Sochia (forgive my spelling)

An amazing experience I am so thankful for their support in helping me achieve my fitness and health goals prior to competing at an international pageant!

Great instructors and good community atmosphere! I've seen improvements in a shoulder injury that nagged for years. Looking forward to even more improvements!

I am so proud to be part of this amazing Fit Club community! Workouts are fun and challenging, the people are welcoming, and coaches are fantastic! Perfect for every level of fit.

I joined over three months and my life has changed so much. There has been a lot of transformation and growth in every aspect of life. My body and mind have been challenged in ways never before. This whole process has taught me invaluable lessons about myself and what I am capable of. Taking charge of my health has been one of the best decisions I have made and none of it would be possible without the guidance and motivation I receive at the centre. I am truly so grateful to have found my way to the centre. I am always looking forward to each class, to connecting with the people I have met and to be mentored by amazing coaches who give their hearts in each class. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for changing so many lives including mine!

I joined recently, staff are trained well and friendly. Its a great place for self improvement on many levels.

Such an amazing community and everyone really does become family. Amazing coaching staff, great programming and ensuring the safety of all the members.
The passion I feel from all the coaches is truly unique and awesome to experience.

10/10

Amazing staff. Everyone is friendly and professional. Place is easy to find and easy to find parking.

My wife and I love this place, the coaches are great, small classes and good care and instruction - we notice a difference.

My wife and I have been physically active for many years with marathons, crossfit, boot camps, yoga, outdoor activities on and off the water and we strive to eat well. We moving to the Blenheim area a few years ago and found the Underground Fit Club and Extraordinary Life Chiropractic. Their program involves a holistic approach to overall health and fitness. We started with the fitness and found a blend of workout disciplines that are fully adaptable, safe and effective. The coaches are exceptional. All of them are friendly, kind and generous in spirit. Most of all they care about our individual fitness level and encourage the Life by Design philosophy to help you achieve higher levels of fitness, nutrition and spinal rehabilitation. We have been given nutritional information and strategies that complements the physical fitness aspect of the overall program of wellness. The final piece of the Life by Design is the Chiropractic care focused on realignment of our spine. Dr. Jamie and Dr. Steve are excellent. We were sent for X-rays and then assessed by the Dr.to target specific areas of the spine to maintain alignment to improve neurological communication to our nervous system. Both of us have had remarkable results in pain reduction, increased energy and strength. The most incredible result has been my wife’s blood pressure. My wife has had high blood pressure and on medication for 15 years, she now has found her blood pressure is low and now is being given half the dose with the hope she will be medicine free in about a month. This overall program has been outstanding. We are all “worth it”. So please give this three piece program consideration for exceptional results.

I came into Fit Club with zero muscles and zero motivation. I'd tried working out on my own in the past, but would quickly get bored and disappointed with the lack of results. I was intimidated by "gyms" and free weights. I've wanted to get in shape for some time, but didn't know how. So I took the step to get a Fundamentals of Fitness assessment at the Fit Club with Coach Jay. What a fantastic decision! Jay took time to find what areas of muscle development i needed to work on based on my goals, and tailored workout programs specifically for me. Step by step he has guided me through movements, and every workout is fun. (Who doesn't love to see their trainer do jazz hands during kettle-bell swings?) Jay also gets to know you and gives direction about sleep, nutrition, and handling stress. He's become one of my friends. It's now been 6 months, and my progress is astounding. I have back muscles. My arms are jiggle-free. I can do a real push-up! Carrying groceries and lifting heavy bowls down from the top shelf in the kitchen cupboard are a breeze. I'm strong. I'm still a work in progress (aren't we all) but i like the direction I'm heading. Thanks Underground Fit Club and Coach Jay!

Have never been to the fit club but I have been to Charlie’s café for a great pour over coffee. Getting closer to getting fit
The 5 stars are for opening a fitness centre close to a cafè! Coffee is my favourite; let’s see if I can’t make working out my favourite too

I thought my sister was wasting our money when she signed us up at the Underground Fit Club.but I went along with it anyway. WOW. How a place can change your mind about hating exercise is amazing. I LOVE this club and now I actually love and enjoy exercising. The Club is professional, tuned in to YOU, great coaches, and fun. Since the shutdown I have missed my GYM more than anything else, and I cannot wait till it re-opens. If you have just given this a passing thought to join, you should give it a try. It may change your mind like it did mine! Thank you Dr. Jamie for this wonderful, healthy place right here in the heart of Blenheim! See you soon! LOVE THIS PLACE!

I joined the Underground Fit Club 2 years ago with a plan to get a bit more fit and prepare for the summer beach season. Read here: "bikini body". Two years later I can say that I am more fit than I ever was and feel so much better, both physically and mentally. The total health approach at the club is more than I ever expected. The advice from the coaches as well as the supportive atmosphere while working out with fellow members has improved my life in so many ways.

A hidden POWER HOUSE to say the least! For years I had been traveling back and forth to Chatham to get a good sweat on, not realizing how incredible the facility was that is a short walk from my home. What a blessing. As a working Mother and Wife, my time is precious and I need to make every minute of the day count. The Underground Fit Club combines mobility and strength training like I’ve never encountered before. The coaches attention to detail, and the amount of time and energy they devote to the top notch programming is evident. What I love most is seeing the progress I’ve made in just a few months. I thought I was ‘fit’ coming in, however, at the UFC I am consistently improving my lifts and I am more in tune with my mobility than ever before, a true testament to quality training. I highly encourage anyone, no matter your fitness level, to make the UFC your ‘Health Home’. There is a place for everyone here!
Yours in Fitness,
Meg:)

I knew from the very first day of training, Underground Fit Club was the right place for me to live my best life ever! It’s a fun, no judgement, supportive environment that has given me more confidence, discipline and motivation in a short 2 months then ever before!

I've always called the Fit Club "a hidden gem". It's not a boot camp where you are killing yourself to try and keep up with the "young bucks". The program is truly tailored to meet your needs. Although you are in a group setting, you have your own set pace, exercises (both strengthening and stretching) according to your level, with much needed cardio mixed in. You can go as many times a week as you want; from as early as 6: 00 am to 6: 30 pm at night with a Saturday a.m class. Try it you'll like it and make it a habit - you'll see results.

I’ve been a member at many gym/boot camps and feel UFC is the best out there! The individualized coaching and instruction you will get here is absolutely incredible. THIS is what sets this gym apart from all others in my mind—it’s like getting personal training at every class! (I couldn’t afford 6 personal training sessions a week but this is what it’s like!)
Coach Rob and Trevor are AMAZING! They really care. Unlike other gyms they watch your form and make sure you do things correctly so you don’t get injured. They will safely push you to your limit and beyond, giving you the encouragement you need to make visible changes and see results and do things you never thought possible. I’m addicted and look forward to each workout! Oh and the facility is industrial modern & super clean! Highly recommend!

Mombod no more. Not only am I learning how to be strong and not get hurt, I’m learning how to do so especially after giving birth. I never feel as though I am unable to do what is ask, I also am encouraged to reach my potential and beyond. Love the programming, community and atmosphere. (Side note- cleanest facility- amazing.)
