Reviews of Motion Fitness Lawson Heights (Gym)

Heather Newell

Great fitness instructors!

Morgan Punter

Edit: Alejandro from Lawson Motion was extremely helpful and patient with re-setting and fixing my account. He was the only one I got in touch with who was genuine in helping my situation. A huge thank you! This gym was my home gym. Honestly, I loved it here. The staff were friendly and the vibes were like and gym family. I had to cancel due to Covid and did so properly, aware of their 6 week cancel notice. but they continued billing me afterwards. I would've come back to resume once things were back up and running but after several emails back and forth with the company, I apparently still owe them a large sum of money. If I had used the gym and didn't cancel my membership properly, I would totally understand, but the problem is is that they took zero regard for a mistake on their end and continued billing me despite re-cancelling and multiple communications.

I love this place, the staff is great and very helpful.

Evan Huslage

Great gym, tons of natural lighting

Christopher Saban

Gym is pretty good...front desk staff not very helpful ...the gym offers alot of services and by far.. probably the best gym in the city

Jodi Ireland

Friendly staff, very clean. A great place to workout!

Natalie Bazin

Fantastic in every way! I have nothing but good things to say about this gym. The facility is always clean and enjoyable to use, the staff are always friendly and the classes are great. The instructors are motivating and personable, and all around fabulous. I also enjoy logging workouts on the app and joining the monthly challenges to keep my motivation up. I highly recommend joining Lawson Motion Fitness if you are looking for a great fitness experience.

Sunday yoga class got canceled and no one update on the app like other locations would do, they just have to let ppl drive there and find out it’s canceled at the door. pretty inconsiderate.

tyler kinzel

Well the staff when I first came to check out the place were very helpful and kind, and as I kept going the staff were very affable and knew alot of our names when we came to the gym, they also keep the place very clean

Speedy Gonçalves

Great place to workout, close to downtown, the river, and city park area plus attached to Lawson Heights mall.

Sonni Peters

Great gym, women's area could be larger but overall great gym.

Review modified 03/31/2021. Love this gym, I used to go here very frequently. The staff do a great job keeping this gym clean. However during the pandemic I've noticed a great amount of people not wiping their equipment down amidst the pandemic. As a result l'd left the gym. I want to give this place an amazing review, but there are too many members here being irresponsible, and not following basic covid procedures. Will consider going here again after the pandemic is over.

Lol Hi

Been in the women's section a few times, its good enough for basics, but a bit cramped for mat space in front the mirror, if its busy. I was wondering if there is a pull up bar somewhere in the gym?

David Young

Promised 24 hours Paid fee for 24 hours But closed so early ????

Janelle Larson

The ladies area has the right equipment in it. I like that they provide locks on the lockers. Spacious layout in the main area. The only problem is everyone in the area got a membership and it is a busy place!

Day Bow

Carol at Lawson is truly an inspiring, charismatic and caring person. She puts herself into assisting you in reaching your goals, no mater what they are too the highest focus. She commits.. even more then you may too you. Side note, she’s amazing at making you laugh so hard you will cry lol If you want a good coach and goal assistant, with the perfect amount of humour with hyper focus and experience with a dash of determination and knowledge, who will push you. This woman should be your number one choice!

Scott D

crowded gym. they also do a fit teen promotion where kids come in for free during the summer so the place just gets packed with crowds of teenagers making it more difficult for paying customers to get on equipment . mine as well spend your money at goodlife

utsav vyas

I enjoyed working with my trainer carol. She always puts customers first and if you want to have your money spend wisely then I will highly recommend to join motion fitness at Lawson and work with carol especially. She is very nice, motivating, friendly, caring and understanding. She is one of master trainer and she knows lot of moves. She always had push me to do all the workout right way. I am seeing changes in body something that I have been trying to do for long time in my own way with negligible success. With her advice and recommendations and my commitment I am pretty sure I am going to achieve my goal. So big thanks to carol and motion fitness. ❤️????????????

Steve Adams

I can't believe a business is allowed to operate the way Motion does. They started scamming money from us during the early days of the pandemic. They shut down, no customer service responses, then out of nowhere started charging again. They wouldn't allow membership cancellation anyway other than in person... while my location had a breakout.. Extremely irresponsible considering the rest of the world has switched to being able to deal with business online or on the phone. Motion is now harassing me and my wife, claiming we owe $1500 and that the total will keep piling on and they will keep harassing us despite our several attempts to cancel our "no contract" contract (*2 signatures required to start a non contract at Motion) Avoid at all costs.

Mike Dolan

Great spot to workout. Gym is always clean and well organized. Staff is always professional, kind and always around to help out and answer any questions. Highly recommend.

Majid Hassas

Ambiance was good, pricy and medium quality.

Aaron Kaminski

Clean and very well sanitized. Great job battling Covid

Kim Treng

Happy place for everyone's

Clint M

I liked the Gym overall, I would be willing to change my current membership to motion. That being said when I looked into their membership fees .. the initial cost was reasonable, but the $50 service fee per person on membership after 60 days is a cash grab. Also they want 2 months in advance to cancel a membership which I feel is a really is another way to take all they can from "valued" customers before they leave.

Clean and not too crowded.

Manish Patel

Best gym

Paul Mac

My go-to gym in Saskatoon. Staff are very welcoming which is important at gyms. Very clean and tidy. Has everything you need!

Chad Kratz

It's a good gym. I didn't like it at first but I go every day. Do your session before 4:30pm and it's not crazy busy.

Andrew Koehn

Modern, Clean and fully-equipped. Spacious layout in gym and specialty spaces. Plenty of amenities. No contract pricing available. Tons of room, trainers are plentiful, and many innovative programs can be participated in.

Boby Joe

Great gym, just too many people. They should open another one in the city.

Live Free Wellness

I moved locations because I followed my personal trainer here. I was not big on my old location and didn't think it was well run. The Lawson location is night and day from the old location. Its super clean, the front desk is polite, they keep thier equipment updated and the gym is well set up. I'd like to see more yoga classes here as the current classes are so packed! Goes to show the instructors are awesome! Carol is my personal trainer and she was worth following for sure. She is kind, understanding and makes you feel super comfortable when you are unsure. If you are new to the gym and want help understanding form in a safe environment. She is your girl! Thanks Lawson for your excellent customer service and staff ????????

Osidious DK

Great gym. Although very busy at peak hours as it is their newest facility, I am sure this will die down when the two new locations open and people migrate to those. Some machines are starting to fall apart after 4 months use, so don't be afraid to let them know about it. Love their locker system when it works, lots of locks are broken and won't lock. Also many people use them as all-day lockers causing issues at peak hours as no lockers are available due to above reason also.

Shyann Hickey

This location is my favorite out of them all. Staff is very nice and it's not as packed as the other motions. It's a great place for no judgements. The day care is great as well. My 2 month old goes almost everyday. They accept 6weeks to 11 years old.

Cory Andrews

Best gym in the city hands down. Equipment is clean and its spaced out properly and the staff is super professional, always smiling as well.

Ken Asher

It's ok. Seems busy most of the time. Not a lot of weight machines so those get taken up pretty quick.

Saqib Irfan

I've been a member since 2014 and this is how the Corporate GYM treats me, and probably will treat you the same. Shady business. Extra charges. Charged me for another Member. When is my refund date? NO ANSWER. When they tell you to email Member Support, good luck. Joelle Thiessen took two weeks to figure it out and I was charged double again. Member Support never answer the phone calls - must be a reason why. When is my refund date? NO ANSWER.

megan megzz

I emailed yesterday about my experience I had with a personal trainer.. guess what no reply.. I was treated with 0 respect told I was an alcoholic and that I’d never get to my fitness goals, and that I’m going nowhere if I didn’t invest into a trainer .. if that’s these sales tactics I want 0 part of this gym and now I’m overly anxious about even stepping foot in this gym highly uncomfortable and unprofessional

Garhet Maze

Good gym with nice and clean facilities

Sourav Gangopadhyay

It's located in a mall which has grocery stores to restaurants. So, if you want to have a fit body before or after your shopping and a good food, stop by at this place. It's not as huge as it's Brighton counterpart, but it has what you need to do your exercises. Weight machines, free hands, cardios And free classes. Plus people working here are really friendly and nice.

Kris Gandhi

A very very nice place and good environment for gyming.

Sithodah

I started going to this gym and now I am far stronger than my father. Defeating him in open hand to hand combat will be simple now. Thank you motion fitness! (I included a photo of how much stronger I am now, I can easily do all of the things strong people can do)

Jenn Farries

Clean, well laid out, follow Covid Guidelines, never have to wait for equipment. staff is friendly and helpful if you need assistance

Annika Forcier

Really bright & clean facility with the friendliest staff!

Arash Farazmand

I cancelled my membership because of COVID pandemic and they expected to receive 60 days notice before they accept to cancel my membership and they charged me $100 as the cancellation fee!

Jericho Gibbs

Busy, bit smaller but a great environment. Really enjoyed late night workouts!

Keli Propp

I had been a client of the gym before the COVID-19 shutdown. I really like the gym and the amenities. I have just recently gone back to the gym and began meeting with my personal trainer. My personal trainer Carol has been amazing. She walked me through the gym and showed me all the additional sanitizer stations and how to move through the gym to ensure maximum distancing. Our first workout was very good. I felt safe and I believe that the gym is clean. I did have some concerns about how often I will be going to the gym. Carol eleaviated my fears by providing alternate options. I am very pleased to be working with Carol and Motion Fitness. They got ya fam!! 10/10 would go again.

Shea Noble

This is the greatest place to be. Great space. Always clean. Staff is so friendly, always smiling.

Hannah Wiest

Extremely spacious and clean. The staff are very friendly and personable. Do not regret switching from stonebridge to here!

Bhavinkumar Patel

Nice location and modern amenities...

Dillon Emigh

Great staff, vert clean, and well arranged

nathanael n

Friendly staff. Organized gym. Awesome lighting!

Aubrie Hounjet

Gym is okay. Staff isn't very friendly

Jazzmine Abigail

They charge us for 24 hours but close at 8pm on sunday. They use the “covid” scapegoat but there are about 10 gyms in the city of bridges that are open 24/7. Crazy!! And the classes are too loud you can hear the lady yelling over your headphones

cyclopsunikitty

Staff are super kind and helpful

Janelle Darliing

Courtney is like my favourite person here nobody else can work like her, she’s all about customer service and caring for your needs.!!!

Joni Morman

If I could give her more than 5 stars, I would for personal trainer, Carol Collin! She is dedicated, professional and motivating! I leave my sessions feeling rejuvenated and energetic. I feel stronger, both mentally and physically, thanks to Carol. She encouraged the balance of safe workouts and nutrition. Carol was very inspiring and I highly recommend her.

tony phillips

Motion Fitness at Lawson Heights Mall, is a great place to go, Staff is Friendly and Professional , and always eager to answer your questions and concerns, Courtney one of the front desk girls is always running to find stuff for members, cleaning, its big, clean, classes are best anywhere in city, and it’s wonderful that it’s 24 hours since I work shift work and can go anytime I want, the people that are fellow members are friendly and good to chat with between working outs.

The Scrub

ALE the general manager and personal trainer has been outstanding! We see each other 3 times a week and he's all smiles and pushes me to my limits. It's exactly what I need to become fit. Thanks buddy!

Lynne Morrison

Lawson Heights Motion Fitness manager, Alejndro was awesome in dealing with our situation. Pleasant, professional and accommodating.

Kelsie Foster

Maybe you should fix the steam rooms and the machines that don’t work before you up the price of membership… ladies room needs heavier dumbbells

nitin khosla

Not worth the high fees paying monthly . It was good in the beginning but Bi weekly fees were bumped up to $31 and there is no notices given for the increased price and not worth paying more than 60 dollars a month and never know when they will increase the price .Please stay away from here if you not want to have high fees deducted from account without any advance notices

Lisa Werner

I miss the massage chairs and towel service, although I do understand that it would be operationally challenging to keep these things going during COVID. Equipment-wise, it’s pretty on-par with most gyms. What keeps me going to Motion is the trainer I signed up with, Carol Collin. Her passion and knowledge have been immensely helpful in increasing my motivation to exercise, eat better, and improve my health overall. She’s just such a beauty of a person, and I truly don’t think I would have come as far as I have without her. I always have her little phrases in my head, which influence ssooo many aspects of my life, in and out of the gym. 4 stars because the facility’s pretty average, but 5+ stars for Carol.

Bernie Veltkamp

Great service, the facility is excellent. Trainers are very friendly and helpful, Alejandro and his staff make you feel important. I would recommend this facility to anyone.

Judy Wiest

Welcoming and friendly staff. A very open floor plan, so it doesn't feel as busy. Very clean and up kept!

Jessi Champagne

I may have only been with Carol Collins for a short time, but i can honestly say she is the best thing about going to the gym. She knows just how to keep me going I can’t see myself with any other person trainer out there! I would recommend her 150% to anyone who is looking for someone out there that really puts the time in to help someone reach their goals!

Robert Ewashko

I have worked with Carol for a few months now and every session is built around you. From our first meeting she finds out what you want to focus on to make you a better person. She provides you with support, proper training, and motivation to reach your goals. She makes every session fun and she listens to you and explains in detail what each excercise as to how that muscle group is to feel. I would recommend Carol to anyone wanting to better themselves as she truly does care about you!! Thanks fir everything so far Carol!!

Bruno Salazar

Great environment, Great staff. Thanks Motion Fitness!

This gym is very big and clean. They have a variety of classes throughout the day. The staff is friendly and helpful.

Magenta Ghost

I have always been shy working out around people, but the trainer Erika makes it less intimidating. She talks to you like a person with no judgment, but keeps you accountable for your workout. She is really good at her job and I recommend this gym and Erika as the trainer to see!

Nicholas Banks

Been to all the locations and they pretty much all have the same equipment but this location seems to have a better layout and the staff is on point. The manager Ali is dope to, always shows love to everyone coming through... the staff is general are actually all pretty awesome. Give it a shot.

Angie Guevara

If you think is a good short term deal... DONT DO IT!!!... They have a 60 day cancellation policy that is not true... I had to pay for 72more days, even though I gave them 61 days notice, they conveniently fit your payments to their schedule and the will admit it, “we are sorry it was not what you expected but there is nothing we can do” ... I only signed up for 3 months but they were pretty quick at taking a full year maintenance fee of $50 some, that was probably disclosed in the “contract” but no one tells you about it when you first sign up. They get their money no matter what offer makes you sign up.

Taneasha Pooyak

When an item of mine went missing staff did not stop searching for it until it was returned. Thank you so much!

Fred Wesolowski

Motion fitness at Lawson is a tremendous place to excercise.... The facility is clean, and the equipment is new and constantly well maintained by a top quality in house technician...... who's friendly nature makes everyone feel welcome. Sorry, but his name escapes me at this time. Furthermore the staff are very congenial and are always available to help us clients. Accolades to all the stafft of the entire Lawson staff.... in particular to Alejandro, Anthony, Carrol, and of course Courtney . Courtney is an absolute cherub and a tremendous ambassador for motion fitness! Courtney always goes beyond the call of duty to make us, the clientele feel at home here. Thank you again to all of you.???????? Cheers Fred Wesolowski

Derek Howat

Let go the one worker that opened the gym kn time and now they cant open the gym in time to save their lives. Also, remove comments regarding their late openings from their facebook page. Get it together Lawson.

Lorie Foster

This gym is great! The staff are very welcoming and helpful. Signed up with Carol and she is so encouraging. With her, I am sure to meet my goals.

Pat Clarkson

Erica Feist is an exceptional Personal Trainer. She is punctual, organized, an excellent listener, supportive and very knowledgeable. I look forward to our sessions. The big bonus is I very quickly noticed a difference in how I carry myself and feel about myself. I would highly recommend her.

Nicole Launders

Great classes and friendly staff! If you go early in the AM it is practically empty! Massage chairs are a wonderful bonus!

TheGleely

overcrowded and unsanitary

Ailene Mordeno

Love this fitness gym because it operates 24/7.

Amy Huebner

Clean, Professional and inviting environment. Friendly knowledgeable staff. Awesome childcare facility and staff.

Kailyn Forgrave

I have been patiently waiting for this gym to open. However it has been a let down to me. Now this is just my personal opinion but I believe that yes the new machines are nice however I feel that the quality of them is not the best. I am also not a fan of the tv's being on the wall in the ladies only area as you have to crank your head up if you choose to watch tv while you're running, doing the stairs or using the elliptical. A friend of mine also noted that it is creepy that any person with or with out a membership can come in and gawk at the people who are using the gym. I do like the staff as they continue to be super kind.

Bryan

Great gym, great locations and good amenities. Staff always friendly and cheerful. If things do break as they have motion fitness has been quick to resolve the issue. Would not think of going anywhere else. Thanks Motion Fitness

Tracy Wood

I love coming to this gym! All the staff are so welcoming when you come. You look around and they all happy to be there and help anyone out if they have questions. My trainer Carol is great! I signed up with her to loose weight then I found out I was pregnant, so we had to change gears and she trained me through my pregnancy and now post pregnancy. It helped so much!! I highly recommend her.

Amr Soliman

Last month, I got a good 50% off deal from a close friend who works there. Today, the supervisor informs me that that deal is for family only and wants me to start paying the full price. If someone made a mistake, then they should fix that mistake, but they should not get to punish me and dishonor the terms in their own contract. Also, if you happen to be in the process of losing a lot of weight and your clothes start to get really baggy, don't go there; you will get profiled and treated with disrespect. I honestly do not care about $11 or $20 but it is the principle. Here is my contract for reference.

I love this facility and I love teaching there too! It is so open and bright and clean and the equipment is nicely spaced out. The staff is super friendly and helpful...overall excellent facility!

Madison Zablocki

I come to this location to see Carol, and would highly recommend her to anyone. Very personable, knows how to motivate, and comes up with different, fun, and challenging workouts. This gym is further away for me, but well worth making the drive as the facilities are very clean, has great equipment selection and the classes are awesome too! I really enjoy the spaces this gym has.

Dillon Vu

very nice gym, nice staffs

Marsha Scharfstein

Just started.. Love it so far

C Her

It's pretty and clean and all but....I do not like the layout AT ALL and... Motion really doesn't have great management. I go to gym and that's what I get so it's cool but, really, the overall management is quite terrible - I don't know how this varies between locations.

Nicholas Inder

Beware the 6 week cancellation policy. The gym brags no terms but not matter when you choose to cancel they will take an extra 3 payments from your account. A term might be better because you could sign up and then end your contract when your term is up. They will also offer you “free holds” on your account when something like COVID happens so you don’t cancel your account when they can’t charge you while they’re closed but then you miss a window of opportunity to leave and not pay for the 6 weeks.

Ivan T

Nice atmosphere, moderate to good equipment. Perfectly located. Great corporate policies allowing multi-gym use and affordable pricing.

DPo

It is written in the contract I signed when joining this gym that I could cancel my membership at “anytime.” So I chose to cancel on May 8th by writing. Due to Covid 19 I wasn’t able to cancel and start my 60 day cancellation period. I went in June 8th to cancel as soon as they reopened. Then I’m told I would receive a credit for the fee they took out prior to closing in March (okay I’m cool with that) But all of this only to find that they charged my account this week. Customer service is second to none.

Ashley Gray

Motion fitness is worst gym ever. The lady at the front always smell like weed at like 7 am.. so unprofessional. Also they use vinegar and water ro wipe down the machines so get ready to smell like vinegar. The lady's change room is always a mess and no one ever cleans it. I high recommend going to good life or anyother gym and avoid motion fitness. Such a corrupted company!

Leah Gordon

Carol is an amazing coach and will help you in any way she can. If you ever have the chance to work out with her you are lucky! The facility is clean and well equipped.

Chelsea Mihalich

I've never experienced such prompt and incredible customer resolution in my life, the world needs more people like the general manager Alejandro! I'll choose Lawson Motion Fitness every..single..time! The level of customer service is out of this world, if you want honesty, loyalty, and trust then the Lawson location is it!!! From confidence boosting class instructors to friendly staff (Courtney especially), this place has everything and more.

Nirkhi Gharekhan

I have been working out with Carol and she is lovely person. I love how she motivates me to workout and keep going. She never fails to teach new and interesting ways to workout. She is a very positive person and that encourages me a lot personally! I would highly recommend Carol ❤️ and motion fitness!

Tiffany W

Gym is clean, convenient location close to work, friendly staff.

Garry Zacharias

The head office would not return my messages so today I met in person with the manager, Alejandro. He did an incredible job and solved my problems. He is a great guy and Motion Fitness is lucky to have him. When the pandemic is over I will return to this gym. At the beginning of the pandemic we cancelled two memberships and they tried to charge over $200. This was done by the head office. We got our money back and got a new credit card. Now I get emails and phone calls that I owe money.

Gun Fun

Good gym , clean lots of stations friendly staff..adequate weights.

Megan Kearns

Very clean and people who work here are very friendly and I like the free towel service.

Chris

Money for new massage chairs but not for more equipment or to replace broken equipment. Is the equipment not what is really important at a gym. If not call it a spa. Wish I lived closer to the Brighton location they have a great set up
