Energie Cardio

Jonathan is very friendly and the girl with the glasses who was running the front desk is very nice also. I was Bruno’s guest. This place has almost like three full floors. The lowest floor is where you go and change, shower, sauna and some other equipment like ropes and some balance balls, the middle floor, the floor where you enter has all the workout equipment, and the top floor has all the cardio equipment looking into the street.
From the look and feel from this place, it has open recently. I have been to a lot of other gyms in the US and this has got to be one of the nicer ones I have been too. I feel it also reflects the cost per month. If the higher cost, the place will be nicer and you will get a lot of the riff raff out that aren’t really there to workout.
Everyone that was working out at the gym look like they had a goal and was working out hard. Not many if any I seen was working out their «jaw».
When I am back in MTL, I will for sure get a daily membership here to workout. It is most definitely worth it.
Thanks Jonathan and the team for making me feel comfortable and making it feel like its my home gym.

I’m changing my review of Energie Cardio after having held a membership here for almost a year. I’m better qualified to speak about the quality of the experience now, I think, than I was when I first signed up.
At FIRST, I really enjoyed the gym, because:
1. The people who work there are friendly, open and welcoming, especially the director — she’s very nice, always smiling and laughing.
2. Extremely affordable! I got the couples membership, which is only $ 44 a month each.
SIDE NOTE to this: I also signed up for their version of hot yoga (which isn’t really genuine hot yoga) for a promo deal of $ 10/​month. I have to say, in the end, you get what you pay for. More on that in a minute.
3. Plenty of options for weight training, resistance training and cardio.
NOW, to update with the reasons why I’ve downgraded my rating for this place:
1. I was practically kicked out of a hot yoga class because the instructor informed me that I was wearing inappropriate attire. So, what was I wearing? A hot yoga top from Lululemon, the kind that shows your belly. According to their policies, showing the skin of my stomach was inappropriate. EXCUSE ME? I complained to the Energie Cardio headquarters and threatened to cancel my membership, after which I was informed that they’d changed their policy and I was now allowed to wear my Lululemon hot yoga top to hot yoga, but could not be seen wearing it in the main part of the gym.
I don’t go to hot yoga or the gym to be body-​shamed. I go to hot yoga to feel good about my body. Not only was it body shaming, but I was humiliated in front of the rest of the class when the instructor basically told me I had to leave the class, in the middle of the class, to put a t-​shirt on over my hot yoga top and cover myself. NOT COOL. I didn’t leave the class, but I never went back to another class after that, either. Needless to say, I won’t be renewing my gym membership this year.
2. Around the gym are a number of offensive chemical air fresheners, the kind that automatically spritz a noxious amount of scent fumes into the air at regular intervals. I loathe these things, particularly in an environment where I’m working out and breathing heavy and need a lot of oxygen. The last thing I want to do is choke on an air freshener or three. My partner spoke to the director about these being overwhelming in the gym, especially when placed RIGHT NEXT to some of the machines, but it made no difference.
It’s too bad about these extremely negative aspects, because otherwise, it would have been something that I continued to enjoy. I won’t go back.

C’est le gym auquel je vais depuis que celui que je fréquentais tout l’été est fermé pour rénovations. Le plafond est haut ce qui garantit une circulation d’air uniforme (excellent pour les odeurs). Les machines pour le cardio sont sur une plateforme donnant sur la rue (belle vue pour courir) et les autres machines sont un peu entassées sur l’étage plus bas. Mon point fort c’est la salle d’exercices au sol située au sous-​sol de l’immeuble. Il fait frais, l’éclairage est moins fort et il y a une multitude de tapis, poids, ballons, miroirs et autres pour ceux qui font des circuits (comme moi). J’ai aussi fait un cours de Tai-​Boxe et c’était très drôle, mais j’espère faire du yoga bientôt dans leur salle de yoga chaud.
En somme c’est une belle place pour s’entraîner, c’est spacieux et sans prétention.

3 étoiles pour le nombre de machines, 5 étoiles pour l’espace, le personnel, et l’atmosphère. Je suis toute nouvelle dans ce monde de fitness et de lifting et de cardio et tout, mais je m’implique à fond et j’adore ça. Je fréquence sur une base quotidienne ce gym depuis 3 mois et malgré le fait qu’il n’y ait pas énormément de machines, l’espace est suffisamment grand pour pouvoir faire ce qu’on a à faire sans avoir l’impression de déranger les autres. C’est un gym neuf alors les équipements sont propres, ça né pue pas, on né se sent pas de trop ou intimidé lorsqu’on y met les pieds et le personnel est vraiment gentil! On y offre également plusieurs cours de groupe comme du Spinning (les cours avec Gabriel sont vraiment motivants!) et ils ont également une salle pour faire du Yoga Chaud! Mais le gros avantage de ce gym pour moi c’est la distance, à 17,3 secondes à pied de mon appartement c’est dur de dire non!
En gros: Gym bien correct, prix correct, personnel super et ambiance agréable! On aime :)
