Steve Nash Fitness World

Slightly understaffed frontdesk when compared to new hotspots like Lougheed, but definitely friendly!
Facilities were updated, but you could easily tell that the structure of the building is super duper old. A bit crowded than I would’ve excepted.
Monthly rates are not bad especially when being referred by a friend!

Extremely dumpy gym, member at other locations but came here because I was bored. No equipment, I ended up working out in the mens area and no one told me. When I asked the front desk and found the women’s area it was a sad sight. I felt sorry for everyone in there who actually had a membership to this location. I ended up walking right out.

I cancelled my subscription and they kept charging me for another 2 months. I called up the manager and his excuse was, they lost the document. He was rude and unapologetic. Same thing happened with my brother at this very same location. I would never recommend this place to anyone.

In my true and honest opinion this gym sucks ass. This gym is so small compared to other Steve Nash fitness worlds and golds gym makes this gym look like its shit invest in a membership to golds. Staff are All shity here don’t come here

a natural athlet minded person. singed daniel gordon sparrow. the eye.or better. a natural.

Even though it’s being renovated, it’s still one of the least desirable, namely the parking issues. Ppl literally sit with their cars idle while waiting for a spot in this tight, 25 – 30 odd spots. But there’s parking at the Best Western hotel if you’re brave to cross Kingsway during rush hour.
but i don’t like the smell or the low ceilings, which prob. leads to the dimmer lighting compared to the newer Nash’s.
But it’s convenient if i’m shopping at Metrotown in need of a quick workout.

Yuk

I am not sure why this location is getting the low reviews that it is. I realize that it is not the best location of the ones that I have been to, however, it’s not the worse. The décor needs some updating. They just recently got some new equipment in. I feel like there are sales people everywhere rather than people to assist my needs. I go to this location ’cause it is a 10 minute walk from the skytrain and their pool location works in conjunction with my schedule. They used to have a juice bar back in the day which was my post workout highlight, that is now gone.

I realize that all FW locations are different but this one is the pits. Extremely low ceilings, countless TVs and mirrors everywhere make for a claustrophobic, oppressive 1^st impression. A lot of time was wasted looking for a spray bottle with liquid in it to clean the machines. There is absolutely no air circulation, either.
The women’s area predictably only had weights up to & including 30 lbs and ½ were missing. There is no signage anywhere in the gym either to direct you. For the cost involved there are not nearly enough Group Classes. Thankfully I have a corporate membership; I would not choose to pay for a membership here.

I am discovering that the sales folks at this fitness centres are more pushy than the traditional car salesmen. I phoned to find out about their facilities and membership available. The sales told me they have about 25 different programs of memberships so he can’t tell me about it over the phone. He kept telling me to come in and he would be able to discuss better in person.
It turns me off that the pricing have to be so complicated that it can’t even be posted online or promoted over the phone. The pool times for the pool is also not updated correctly on the website. It says it’s closed on Sundays but the sales assured me that it’s not closed on Sundays.
After talking to the «fitness trainer» (more like a salesman) on the phone, I don’t think I even want to visit the location. If someone has a good experience at this location, please let me know.
Currently, I’m writing this location off as a place to consider for working out.

Extremely pushy salespeople at Fitness World. I had a free two week pass from the Entertainment Book and I decided to use it at this location. One of the staff spent about almost 45 minutes with me selling me the package, while I ended up spending only 30 minutes working out on the machines. The place is way too old as this is the original Fitness World location that opened in the 1960’s and some of the machines look like they’re from the 80’s. I’m glad that I didn’t buy the package and I never did return after my initial visit.

My experience at this location started out great and went downhill from there. A trainer/​salesman showed me the place on my first day of a two-​week pass to the place. He seemed nice and we did half a circuit. I told him it was my birthday the next day so I decided I want to get in shape as I’m getting older. He did half of a circuit with me and then went over the various plans. He really tried to upsell me on more expensive plans. But that’s typical and didn’t bother me. Then he asked me to come back the next day for the second half of the circuit. The next morning, I was tired, and it was my birthday. But I had committed to it, so I showed up. He said there was a women’s class being held in the circuit area so he couldn’t do the training with me. He told me to do the elliptical on my own. I said I could do that in my apartment building, which has ellipticals and treadmills. He just laughed. Then I asked him if we could go to the weight room for a session. That’s separate from the main circuit where the class was being held. He said, «You only get one free session.» I said, «You told me to come back for the second part.» He said, «Only in this room, not that one.» He was such a jerk about it. He really didn’t care. I think he thought he didn’t have a sale so he wasn’t going to waste his time. The fact is that he LOST a sale because he was a jerk.
The pool in this place is really small, and it didn’t seem to have the right balance of chemicals. And the jacuzzi doesn’t have jets, just crappy bubbles that don’t do much.
The place is cramped, and the facility actually held a class in the circuit area. (The salesman wasn’t lying about that. I saw it.)
All in all, this particular centre isn’t worth it. I don’t know about the other locations.
