Reviews of Movati Athletic (Gym)

Aliya Sattaur

This is by far the best gym I’ve ever been to! Staff are extremely welcoming and friendly; gyms can be such intimidating environments for people, but they foster an environment that welcomes any and everyone. The facility itself is the cleanest I’ve seen from any gym thanks to the wonderful custodial staff. The equipment and machines are top notch, high quality equipment you wouldn’t find anywhere else! And the classes (group exercise and small group training), are unique with awesome instructors and trainers! Cannot wait for COVID-19 to pass so that everyone can head back and get back to working on their health and fitness at the finest facility in Peel Region!

GREAT PLACE!

Nice gym if you are looking for something better than goto goodlife. This gym quite big however, half of the gym is reserved for women, which is a big let down for me. This doesn't just give a third world country feel, they could have added more equipments and bigger pools and courts squash, basketball, or sports by making one big uni-sex gym.

Absolutely love Movati! Feels way more like a club/facility then a "gym". The staff is always friendly and the club is super clean! The club has so many amenities! Best facility!

Elyas Tadros

While the equipment is in good shape and the facility is new, the staff has no customer service skills at all. Everytime you have a concern, no one is there to acknowledge or do anything about it. The membership fees are those of a high end club so one would expect a better treatment. Classes are empty yet they won't let you in if you are a minute late. They would rather have an unsatisfied member than try to keep you motivated to workout. If you are not concerned with quality of service you would be better of with a cheaper gym. However if you are looking for a high end gym the you would be better off somewhere elsewhere

I've worked out at Movati on the Boardwalk for several years. If you want to work out with weights, group classes and yoga in a well-equipped, clean gym, this is a GREAT place. As someone who has travelled a lot, I find this gym competes with any gym I have worked out in any country.

Clean facility and friendly staff

Best Gym in Richmond Hill! However their membership policy/program needs more flexibility compared to other gyms. monthly or weekly passes are extremely overpriced that better to avoid. besides there is no 3/6/9 months packages available.

Gym is clean. Staff are very nice. Hayley is the best! I always ask for extra protein and she doesn't throw out the extra smoothie like most others do. To be fair to the rest, I'm sure if you'd ask they'd give you what you're paying for, but with her, she gets it, and doesn't need to be reminded. As far as covid19 protocol goes, they have a good setup and rules but not everyone follows them. Wish staff came around more often to ensure people were in compliance. Yoga classes are amazing. I haven't tried any others but heard they are great too. Women's area is pretty good too. Doesnt have all the equipment as the co-ed one but it's well equipped.

Great gym

Nice place for all sports

Lesia Maria

I had the pleasure of speaking and meeting Lyana she took the time to address all my concerns I may have had. She reiterated things I may have asked more than once. She didn’t at once make me feel pressured which made me feel like she wanted me to always enjoy my experience. She is passionate about her job and made me feel very at ease with Covid and returning to a new gym. I will definitely be enrolling my family here. If you see this Lyana thank you very much for your time. It didn’t go unnoticed

They don't honor reservations for group fitness classes. They will let somebody in without reservations even though your are not late for the class. Pilates teacher decided to let her friends in.

Toronto EBK

Been going for years and most of the front staff even some supervisors have attitude problems ,even when you call them they seem mad or ether a bit annoyed ,sometimes I see them on cellphones and have a problem when you interupt their texting or browsing . Staff needs to be more friendlier especially if your getting paid to just stand around and process people. A couple months ago I went in and had scanned my card then came out the mens room to get a towel i waited about 7 to 10 mons until the female staff finished talking to someone about their daily lives then i had to interupt and get them to actually stop small talk to get a towel as she gave me the towel she then gave me a rude expression and a fake have a nice day as i walked away the girl said some people have no patience . That made me feel like a stranger off the street when im a member for years staff really needs to step up theyre customer service because alot people I talk to run into the same problem.

Connie Williams

Great facilities. Great variety of classes. Love the hot yoga - shout out to Sharon and Ron. Drums is fun with Cheryl who always has a smile. Maha - great energy in all your classes! Would recommend to a friend!

Andrea

The BEST womens only section I have ever seen in a gym. I don't have to take one step out of it for any of my workout! Amazing facility, everything you could want/need and always so clean and such a welcoming place with friendly staff!

Amina Shahzad

Best fitness place in this area!

Gary Stevens

I like this gym a lot. It's very clean and professionally run. I've never had trouble finding a machine. The morning hours are fantastic but the weekend closing at 8 pm is painful. The changeroom gets a little cramped during peak hours but it still is better than the competitors. I'd say that there are too many children being admitted as members. Still though, for the ~65 bucks a month, it's hard to beat this place.

Oubeda T (‫زعيم الصداقة‬)

The gym here is very clean. There are plenty of sports here, swimming, sauna, jacuzzi, gym and fitness.

Jimmy Noknees

great amenities, makes you want to stay and work out more. downfall, its costly. if it doesn't relate to your job or you dont have health issues in which this would benefit you from, its something to look over and see if there is value for you. For me there wasn't and after the trial i sadly declined membership. If i was an athlete, or my doctor told me i needed to focus on my health i would 100% sign up. EDIT** Up the rating from 4 to 5 stars because they really have great customer service!

Plad Ka

Me and my wife are unfortunately going to say good bye to Movati after so many years. They now have mandated a mask DURING work out. Which is simply UNHEALTHY and UNSAFE. Its actually insane.

Andrew Savoie

Promoting segregation puts you on the wrong side of history.

Maria Oliveira

Nice and clean Top of the line facility The only thing missing is an outdoor salt water pool!

Sulvira Dz

Very upset with the way they will treat you after you can no longer commit. Before reopening of this year I had called and requested my membership to be canceled. (I wanted to make sure they canceled it before reopening) I was going through a very rough time and had no idea they were still charging my account. Unfortunately all my emails prior to Sept 2021 had been deleted and they had lost my request to cancel, I was charged a good 4months. They can see that I haven't been using the facility in 2021 but didn't care at all. They have absolutely no compassion when it comes to their past members.

All About Fabulous

Horrible place if you get hurt!!! I was injured while using a machine, as the weights let go. I suffered a concussion and was off work for over two months. I incurred high medical bills and lost wages. Don’t even try to get a hold of any one at Head Office. I called multiple times and no response to this day. The Manager at the club said that their insurance company was going to get in touch with me. Guess what? After multiple calls to Movati, not a word. The best part the still charged me for my membership while I was injured. There are lots of Athletic Facilities out there. Don’t trust this one!!!!

This place is a huge disappointment! Stay away from being cheated. I just came over their Mississauga location, with a packed gym bag, to start the “exclusive” 10-day trial emailed to me by their customer manager. Front desk told me my name has been in the system already and had been given a 3-day trial before. And this email offer is only for first timer. Let me clarify: Yes, I dropped by your location before through a door ad and I filled a form at the front desk (that’s how you could have my email to send me this 10-day trial), then was given a tour by a lady and she never mentioned anything about the 3-day trial. If this 10-day trial is only for FIRST TIMER ONLY, why don’t you check your system before sending it to me? Everything is messed up and my time was wasted. Check other posts about this gym (Bank account info required) and be mindful before signing anything. If they could fool you around in small things like a free trial, they could burn your wallet in big things without any hesitation. PLEASE TAKE MY ADVICE!

eucalyptus scent is missing in steam room multiple people I know have complained including me and nothing is being done about it. The facility itself is great otherwise tons of new equipment and I love how everything is split into different sections/areas. The upkeep however could be a potential issue but it's too early to tell will edit this review as time goes on to reflect my thoughts about this facility. Edit Feb 24 2020 Steam room now seems to be scented like it should be see how long this lasts I've moved my initial rating of two starts to three. Gym is still well maintained with staff regularly cleaning the facility and equipment.

Fatema Nahar

Expensive but lots of group classes and amenities.

Went in for a tour and some pricing. Spent 45 minutes wandering around with a guy who knew next to nothing about the gym. It's really hyped up for nothing, the place isn't anything special. Right at the start, this staff member was trying to push me for answers - when I clearly stated that I was just interested in seeing the place and some pricing he continued to press on how much I spent on a membership elsewhere, and where did I workout. When I asked about what temperature the hot yoga room was kept at, he simply said "Uhhh I don't know". And walked passed it. Also, there are cameras in the change room to the pool, when I commented on how weird this was his only answer was, "Well, we have to have it there for safety". The steam room was dirty when I went in to look, seemed to be mud on the floor?. The staff member also kept mentioning how they have staff cleaning 27/7 but not once did I see one. Also, considering it's a new gym I spotted 4 pieces of equipment with "Out of Order" signs on them. When we finally sat down for pricing I was told that it was going to cost $32.99 bi-weekly for the "basic" membership, but if I wanted towel service it would be $42.99 bi-weekly. I was shocked that it would cost an extra $20 a month for a towel. When I asked why this gym was special and what made it different all this staff member had to say is how horrible their competitor gym is (Goodlife). I wouldn't recommend this gym to anyone, they are rude, entitled, and aggressive. Save your money and go to another gym instead.

Levi Newton

Awesome gym! Best gym I’ve ever been too. They’ve got upbeat music on all the time and everything is always spotless. Seems like it’ll be busy with the full parking lot but the place is so big I haven’t waited for anything yet. Updated and clean machines. Staff greets you and are very welcoming. They even have a coffee/smoothie bar... really cool addition. Couldn’t ask for more.

Sandra Walkden

The staff at Movati Burlington are very attentive and friendly. Rae Yorke considers and answers even the smallest request. Cleanliness at the club is top quality and classes are superbly run and availability of anything you wish to do is fantastic with awesome instructors. I 100% recommend this gym.

Scott Webber

Good clean gym

Falak Ibrahim

Moved here from london. I must say it meets the hype.

Denise Hewitt

Second year of membership equalled jacked up rates. There won't be a third. Usual gym slimyness over contracts, payments and cancelling membership.

Tarek He9

Amazing facility, nice customer service.

Allan Affleck

Great staff! Super clean and super safe environment. Glad to be back.

ashley de groot

Karin dicarlo gave me a tour; she was incredible ! Very informative, knowledgeable and took her time to go everything with me no rush and I am so happy with my decision to join. The facility is beautiful, clean and the amount of classes is incredible super excited ! The Lamborghini of gyms ????

Hannan Reid

They have really friendly staff and some amazing classes available for literally anyone! I'd recommend checking out the cycle classes, they are challenging but really fun!!

Lori Decker

I have been a member at Movati for about 8 years now. I recently started some personal training with Liliana in a quest to find my way back into a healthy fit lifestyle. The support, feedback, and honesty I receive from her on a daily basis pushes me to better myself and stay true to my plan. I know what I am supposed to do but her energy and positivity and guidance are keeping me on track. I love her so much when my sessions are done I will be signing up again for small group training with my husband and daughter. Having someone believing in you and pushing you makes it better!

Josh DeSantis

Great gym

Liz Brincat

Started working out when the place opened in August. Friendly clean environment. A personal trainer Anthony is great!

Simone Härri

I am beyond grateful to Movati and especially Amanda S.! She is the best trainer I could ever have wished for. I had some bad experiences previously at other gyms where I felt that trainers were not taking me seriously because I am not very fit nor very strong. Amanda has always been unbelievably supportive. I don't see her as often as other clients do, but she always treats me the same way. I am so appreciative of her extensive knowledge. I love how she adjust programs to each client by keeping healthy movements in mind. I can't even describe how much of a positive contribution she has made (and is making) to my life and my physical health!

Noble Nohas

Melissa at front desk and Charlene who helps maintaining the ladies side lockers are always so cooperative and resourceful. They have always helped my experience here better ????‍♀️????

P Hewlett

Great, but the gym is closed now, due to the latest govt Omicron Coronavirus lockdown restrictions. #sad

Salman Almishari

Best gym in Waterloo but expensive.

Ma tt

won't accept cash which is a terribly choice for all of our futures.

Courtney Allen

Everyday getting worst in here staff is horrible. Some guy holding up the wall name Derek asked me to put my bag in my locker again for the third time in three weeks everyone on the floor including staff have cameras and bags all over the floor not to mention there's no cameras allowed in almost any gym but they didn't want to address the tripod in the middle of the room just me and my bag that was against the wall. when I complained about the tripod after he told me to my face with a smerk "it's not my job to deal with your complaints" the staff here needs to change no point on having this beautiful establishment with all this negativity coming from staff towards members over a bag nobody even complained about especially after head office said it's never been heard of in there policy. The business behind this place is broken head office saying one thing each club saying something else SMH it's uncomfortable and disappointing environment

Dana Alkhas

Maha was amazing! Bunjee is soo much fun with her

Sonila Koleci

Its been a short time that I returned to Movati athletic on Waterloo. This 5 starts review is only for my PT, Maysah, if I have to write for my experience there in general, would be of a different standard. I am pleased to accept that she is an amazing person and trainer. With her I have built lots of confidence. The efforts that she puts on to help her clients achieve their goals are of the extra miles. Her work ethics and attitude are always positive. I am very happy training with her and I trust that she will soon be one of the top trainers and pride to Movati .

Johnny Callum

Clean. Polite staff. Awesome place to workout, whether you enjoy lifting weights or doing a class.

brittany tilley

little expesive compaird to most but love the enviorment

Shafik Diwan

When they opened it was state of the art, however facilities are beginning to get dated. They charged me a 20 dollar facility enhancement fee- isn't that what the membership dues are meant to go towards?

Len Collins

Great clean facility with outstanding staff who are courteous and extremely helpful. The gym had a zen vibe. Yoga classes are awesome

Shawn Gendron

Everything is as what most people say, it is a gym where you focus solely on yourself and not others, there is no drama and everyone, including the staff, are very helpful and cheerful. Great place to workout, a Lil pricey but you get everything, from workout, to shower, to hot tub/pool to a sauna/steam shower. This facility also offer free courses for member. Worth the check out if you've never been here before. Can say I'm a proud member and won't be leaving anytime soon

Jeeda Sabri [Student]

I had the best with my summer membership! I did all Maha's classes! She is the best!!

Grazyna Adamska-Jarecka

All local Movati's website work but Guelph

Mason Guy

Good gym overall I'd recommend if you can afford it, just note that the cost is also associated with a lot of accommodations you may not use, such as a pool, yoga, etc. Good gym section though

SUOK YANG

Movati Burlington is so wonderful gym. staff is always keeping clean condition the gym. I love that variety classes. Especially Maha is a trainer who makes me want to work out every day. She always leads the class energetic. Thank you, Maha, for making me interested in work out.

Overall Reviews

This gym has great potential but unfortunately it's going down hill. Things are in a constant state of disrepair. When a piece of equipment is down you can expect it to be that way for at least a month. Smashed up drywall in the weight area, mouldy grout lines in showers, silicone falling off in steam room to name a few. I've never actually seen the shower area cleaned properly. They spray cleaning chemicals on the wall then just hose it down. There seems to be a surplus of staff on hand unfortunately they spend more time socializing with each other or on a computer than tending to the club. Management appears to be non-existent. They should consider hiring a maintenance person to stay on top of repairs.

moe sahioun

Always great to have MOVATI back. Most friendly staff I have encountered at a gym to be honest. Keep up the good work !

We Do It All At Our House

Ok so it's been three days and I love this place what I don't love is getting approached twice in 20 min about my bag with me on the floor the first time Mr.Nandi was informative and understanding the second time I was told by a man who said he was a "vet" that it was for theft and safety. I said "safety" he said yes we worried about ppl stealing and carrying guns ???? my jaw hit the floor then I asked why would you make me feel like that why are you worried about ppl bringing in guns what kind of establishment are you running in the end I definitely was being profiled cause of my appearance. On top of that right in the middle of my pump. #dobetter

Debbie W

For the most part we are happy with the switch to Movati. The women's change room could use some extra attention some days. Not as clean as it use to be. Also if you can use the pool and steam rooms until 730pm on a weekend, why is the women's sauna turned off before 7??

Maxine Janoki

Best gym in Windsor

Michael Wolde

If you use it, it worth it.

Aeo Jx

This location is not open yet please be aware it is only a SALES CENTRE. The Movati Gym will open next year as per the Sales Person I spoke to.

Lara Romanow

Classes are overcrowded. Towels are too small. Hot water breaks down on a regular basis. Staff are stand-offish, not helpful. Although this place appears to have it all, it is just an illusion. I'm so glad to be leaving this "gym"/abusive relationship. Not comfortable, not welcoming. Don't waste your time here unless they make some drastic changes in their attitude as a company toward their customers

Courtney Buys

Love this gym. My home away from home. Always super clean, awesome machines and workout areas. People take their workouts seriously but the vibe is still great. Mark M makes a great smoothie, and goes out of his way to make sure all members are welcomed and acknowledged.

Babar M

Great staff, great equipment. Worth the little bit extra :)

Mike Ferrell

Co-ed classes are a great work out. Clean well run facility.

Tj W

Maryam has excellent service and did a wonderful job introducing me to club Movati she made me feel welcome instantly and was super helpful showing me around and gave me time to consider picking the right membership for me. I havent had good customer service like this at any other gym! Shes amazing

TS

I don’t usually sign a one year commitment with any gym but Dawn Bender Levine, the account representative was very professional & got me hooked easily

Zahra

I've been going here for many years now, and it's excellent. There's a lot you can do from hot yoga, to swimming, to of course your personal workouts using the large variety of equipment they have.

Rebecca Stuart

Clean and friendly, it is a nice gym but of course it is a premium gym, so you pay for the perks. They seem well run and offers lots of classes though with COVID it is hard to get into the pool

Aakash Saini

Steam room needs scent

semih sezer

The best, very clean, good classes ????

Pedro Vieira de Andrade

(Translated) good gym (Original) Boa academia

Yamz Mi

Love this gym. Clean, spacious and worth the price. I had an issue with billing and it was resolved within hours. They are very prompt on customer service and do things very smoothly and conveniently.

Neil Naik

Typical large gym. This one offers more than others with different classes including hot yoga. They also have an indoor swimming pool and a smoothie bar

H Herc

If I didn't live so close I'd join GoodLife. They care about money and like lazy people with no ambition, not workout enthusiasts. Worst gym in Guelph

Ryan P

Decent Gym. Clean.

Alex K

I started coming to Movati in August after LA Fitness Kitchener/Cambridge cut back on their night-time hours. I like to go to the gym after my son goes to bed so I need a gym that is open to 11 or later. Monday-Friday Movati Waterloo is open till Midnight which is perfect. The pros of this gym for me: 1. Staff are friendly (never had a staff member that seemed annoyed/rude, etc...) 2. They keep the place pretty clean (washrooms and change-rooms for the men seem well kept) 3. Lots of fitness equipment and machines - spacious upstairs area 4. The Pool! Its great having a gym with a pool open late. I no longer need to buy expensive lane swim packs from Waterloo Swimplex (which keep going up in price). 5. Lots of class options - I have only tried Hot yoga but am looking to get into some spin classes as well The cons of the gym for me: 1. Free weight area definitely is cramped. I wouldn't want to try working out in the area during the peak hours 2. Definitely a smell around the building especially in warmer weather - must be the Waterloo Dump. 3. Pricey - you pay a premium to go to this gym Overall its been a great experience and i plan to stay here for the foreseeable future.

Medeiros inc.

Charges you during covid and makes it near impossible to cancel membership.

Walter Migliaro

Great new gym, tons of equipment, pools, saunas and beautiful change rooms.

Michela Ferrante

Lyana has always been super helpful and kind! I would recommend their facilities to anyone.

Pauline Armour

Maha is such a fun instructor! She makes the time fly by! Always look forward to her spin classes.

Theresa Ullyot

This is a good gym. I've been going here for years. However, their weekend hours are limited. Closed by 8pm on Sat and Sun, which is the time I have left to go to the gym. This is a significant issue for me. Also, they do pool maintenance on weekend evenings, which again, is when I would use the pools the most. When I started at this gym they were open 24/7. I believe there was really good value in that. They decreased the hours but not the cost. Unfair as far as I see it.

Jennifer O'Neil

I am very fortunate to have Kasia K. as my yoga instructor, both in person and now digitally through Movati @ home. Kasia’s online sessions are superbly done: good clear sound with well-balanced volume between her music and her audio, well positioned video so the poses can be seen clearly, and good lighting. Kasia has a calm and soothing voice, gives clear instructions with options for different levels, and makes everyone feels welcome. I can’t wait until the day I can give her a hug in person to thank her. Everyone please do your part to stop the spread so we can see each other again soon.

Touraj Mirzaee

Lyana and Christian helped me so much this morning! They are both so friendly and easy going. I appreciate their hard work. They always say hello to me when I walk through the front door as well!

Elena S

Amazing facility with sauna, pools and steam room. So glad to be back after a covid break. If you are doing personal training, go with Mark - he is the best! :)

Najmeh Yazdanpanah

Best GYM in the city ..friendly staff and so clean lots of machines and equipment to workout simply amazing place to enjoy your workout

K

Tried to inquire about a membership and coming in to see the gym. Sharlain was very unhelpful, clearly didn’t care, and wouldn’t even answer me because I said my schedule didn’t line up when I could meet with her this week. Instead of offering me other options, she ghosted me, even after my follow up. Didn’t even bother telling me about the open house this weekend that I could’ve attended but heard through a friend instead. If I’m going to pay extra for high quality service, that’s what I expect. I pay way less at LA fitness and their customer service is top notch so I’ll be sticking with it - highly recommend LA instead ????

ibrahim Bayramoglu

Very nice,very clean

Keut Keo

Melissa at front desk is amazing!!! Thanks for always greeting me and being so pleasant!!! Love it here

Jay Tapal

Gym is okay but some things that need to improve are : men showers smell bad and sometimesyou find them dirty... Whirlpool and dry sauna are super cold. They need to raise the temperature in those . We told them many times. But they don't listen. Hopefully they improve it so I give them a good review.

Falaly Scherbakov

Great yoga instructor, Cerina! Thank you for your knowledge, you make me feel 10 years younger after every class )

Dylan Murray

Never had a bad day or workout here! Love this place

Aryan Yousefi

I started to workout here recently, the employees are all very nice, give great tips and are very professional. I've tried many clubs in the past but I have to say this is one the cleanest and most well-equipped gyms that I've ever joined! I thoroughly enjoy Rita's power yoga classes, I've seen great improvement both in my strength and flexibility. Couldn't be more satisfied!

waqar hussain

Movati gym Waterloo is a good fitness club but they are not cooperating with me I want to cancel my membership as I moved from Waterloo and not able to continue with movati . They are not canceling my membership and every month deducting amount from my account.

Gary Davies

Well maintained and clean. The staff is very helpful and friendly. I enjoy this club very much.

Lee Redwood, Sales Representative @ eXp Realty Inc

Really enjoy the "Rhythm & Beats" spin class with Maha in Burlington!

Luciana Seidel

Movati is a great gym! Clean and with great Trainers! I feel safe there! My Personal Trainer is great. I was too unmotivated and shy to go to the gym. I had Mark as my personal trainer and now I noticed a positive change in my body and life. I am happy and now more confident with myself. I definitely recommend Mark and Movati to anyone looking for great quality of personal training!!

Mody Chehade [Student]

Love this club, Everyone is very nice and knowledgable, Mark is amazing

Ellisa Kamula

I love my Movati. I have been in gyms and had memberships my whole life. I have never enjoyed going to work out as much as I do here. The classes are amazing and there are so many to choose from, I always have new challenges to look forward to. The staff are fantastic and super helpful. They are wonderful with my daughter, who is a kids club regular. It is clean, the staff is responsive, there is nothing you could want for. Especially the women's only area, it is huge and bright and I don't have to go take equipment from the rest of the gym to get through a workout. I also take the group Fuel training with Jenny Dillar. She is super knowledgeable and really motivating. I have learned so much and in the 70 days I have been a member I have been to the gym more than 50 times. Sometimes twice a day. It is worth every penny!

Victoria Railean

Movati Burlington offers a great range of fitness classes and yoga for busy schedules

Bejoy Jacob

Great gym, great facilities. I took a tour to see the gym and everything was good, i was about to sign the membership but then they want my bank account details!!. When data security is a big matter of concern these days how can i give my bank account details. I can give my credit card and then take a membership but making a bank account as a mandatory payment method is ridiculous!!. Why would any person give their account details to a gym

Manny Munir

Great gym. Had a squash game here but I wish the viewing was a bit better.

Donna Cornibert

Fabulous place to workout! Great facility and equipment! Lots of choice of classes too!

Abraham Theodore

Very good gym

Sam Salmasi

This is a great gym with great staff. Always high level of service, as well as a clean environment to get your sweat on. Special thanks to Lyana for always being willing to help and motivate!

Abbas EL-Outa (SanserHD)

a little busy but good would have been nice if they had an ice bath. The place is very clean do to the fact it a new gym. Some of the employees can lose that attitude problem.

Bre Bre

No cancelation policy and try to stick you for 1 year payment even during pandemic that gym are close you don't have any option to cancel your membership. This is so uncomfortable that you need to be a member when you don't want to . Real unprofessional rule and doesn't even care that situation is not normal right now with covid 19 ! Not recommended at all

Kim Owen

Communication between employees isn’t consistent. When members inquire we receive different responses based on the employee. Difficult to understand which information is correct. Improved communication would enhance the reliability for members and be much less confusing.

Karim Taha

With every visit to Movati, my expectations are surpassed. The cleanliness of the facilities is top notch, creating a safe and comfortable environment, especially during these times. The staff members are all very kind and friendly. Matt’s friendly smile and welcoming personality creates a connection with all the members and always makes me feel welcomed and valued. His frequent cleaning and friendly reminders to visitors to follow COVID-19 safety protocols keeps the gym clean and ensures the safety of the members.

Ethan Chantler [Student]

Amazing place to workout. Very clean and staff is really nice and helpful

Asad Ali

The gym is nice and all but the staff can be incompetent at times. I had an issue with cancelling my plan. I called to give in my 30 day notice and was clearly told i could do so. But when it came to actually leaving, the managers told me a complete different story. You would think $30 wouldn't matter to a corporation this big and they could help customers out especially when their staff is at fault. I loved the gym but this act will force me not to return. What a shame.

Rayyan Dassut

Aaisha has been so helpful to me compare to everyone else, she has made movati a much better place with her attitude and her knowledge...So happy so have joined ????

Lindsay Ireland

Beautiful and large facility, modern equipment, exceptionally clean at all times. The yoga studios are just lovely. I'm so at peace while I work out and enjoy the showers/steam room/sauna and women's area so much!! Instructors offer a diverse range of skills and personalities but all are experts in what they do! Cannot say enough positive things about this little slice of heaven in Mississauga!

Daffy Dill

Everything you want for your fitness needs. Beautiful facility and very helpful, friendly and qualified staff.

Kavita Masih

Great cardio and muscle toning work out! Ximena always awesome!

Laura Ineyici

Love movati cant wait when they open

Shelley Good

The Classes here are amazing, Deborah I love your morning jam! Great start to the day!

Beckah Parslow

I mean. Ive only been going for about a week now and mind you prior to signing up ive never got to a gym before.. i dont mind spending the 65 a month.. honestly its not even that high of a pricetag! Staff have been super helpful and the place is so nice! Everything is laid out well!.

Sandra Kirkland

I’ve been a member of the local LA Fitness, have been to he local GoodLife, and am a past member of Lifetime. While not perfect - Movati is definitely impressive and worth the price (about half of Lifetime, just shy of double LA Fitness). They work hard to recruit members, which is normal for any gym. Lots of services other gyms charge for are included at this gym, and they offer cost-effective options like small group personal training so you get the benefits of a professional working with you without shelling out $100/hr. The equipment is extensive and all brand new and modern. Ive found the changerooms and facilities to be mostly clean but very well laid out (I can’t imagine never being able to find a good sized locker). Tons of options for classes, and a great variety in the general workout spaces (tire flipping, sleds, Jacob’s Ladder, etc). The staff work hard to recruit, which is normal for gyms, but I’ve found them friendly on the floor and easily approachable. Their primary membership is middle-aged women, so the number of aggressive, overbearing meatheads at the free weights areas are minimal and actually quite courteous. This is the perfect balance between a high quality health club and basic gym, with a price point to match. You look forward to going for the experience as well as a solid workout. I’m glad I left LA for Movati.

Nabil Khan

Wonderful gym best fasciity state of the art extremely helpful staff especially ayesha always on top of her game and presents great customer service and enthusiasm

Joey Loesch

After having a problem with a billing issue, the club manager Shawn was quick to help and sorted everything out. He did a great job by putting the customer first and exceeded my expectations for service.

Bibiana Restrepo

Instructores are great as usual. Big thanks to Maha to keep our spirit up and our body in a great shape FULL OF ENERGY. ????????????????????????????

Elliott Godin

Friendly staff, every piece of equipment you could want, and always very clean. However, you certainly pay a premium price, and have to deal with ridiculously large crowds at the busy times.

Michael Tran

Great club with a lot of space and equipment. A lot of sanitizing stations around to access and use. The classes provided have good instructors and great environment. I can specifically talk to the hot yoga classes and the spin classes. Trainers are pretty dialed in, haven't had any personal experience with them but from what I've observed since joining, there's two specifically, I will get their names once I figure it out, but there's two that are passionate and into their clients. Their professionalism has me intrigued to purchasing some sessions to see how and if they can help. The club changerooms are clean for the men's side with sauna, steamroom and pool access direct. There's a separate area for more I guess sports specific training, and there's a women's only section. I hate that I got to write this review because I rather keep this a hidden gem so it doesn't become popular but credit is gotta be given where credit is due.

Sa R

There are so many hidden fees that they don't tell you about. I cancelled my membership and was told it would be cancelled right away and I received an email that they will still charge for another month! so unprofessional and sneaky.

Shoaib Syed

Great club and very professional staff. I booked a time to come check out the club with a sales rep named Aaisha. She gave me a detailed walkthrough of all the different features & benefits of Movati. She was extremely helpful and knowledgable and clarified all my questions. Since then i have referred 2 of my family members and we are very happy. Thankyou Aaisha!

Robert Bailey

Very pleasant facilities but aging equipment. Annoying hours and inconvenient location.

landon hall

Great place to do everything from run on a treadmill to powerlifting. Pools and hot tub are always clean. Staff always has a friendly face that ensures saying hi and goodbye. Worth every penny!

Kate Walczak

I love this gym. I only do the classes and the variety of classes is just amazing ! Everyone is so friendly. All the instructors too. Love this place

George Perisic

Nice place to work out and relax .. join if you can. I wish their fees were a bit cheaper.

Frankenstein Creations

Yes it's a gym & No it's not worth your time of day.

William Chiu

Been a member of Movati for the past 3 years. Facility is clean and during Covid, they have really ramped up the disinfection with staff cleaning and lots of new supplies for members to clean their hands and the equipment they use. I've used the pool, fitness/weights, hot yoga, regular yoga and shower/sauna facilities. Personally, my greatest benefit are the group training and personal sessions with Liliana Dominguez. I have currently switched to 1 on 1 training with her and she does not let me slack off and pushes me when i feel like i've had enough. I had shoulder dislocation surgery late 2019 and with her help, the shoulder is 95% now. She knows the body structure well and most importantly, she provided me with guidance and training to target the specific muscles for shoulder stability. If an exercise created strain, she will modify it immediately to prevent pain and strain. Highly recommend her if you want to fix something or want to learn how to exercise correctly. The other staff are all very friendly and will take time to answer your questions also but I am very happy with my current trainer.

Armageddon Letters

Excellent facilities, and cleanliness is first-rate, but their swimming pool could be cleaner, and their membership coordinators can be astoundingly rude and apathetic, especially if you are transferring into the club and taking over a previous member's contract (and not adding net income as a new member). The experience can be very unpleasant but you deal with the membership coordinators only once anyway.

Luca Abbuonandi

Truly an amazing gym! Very clean and professional. Staff is amazing and is always so helpful. Melissa at front desk is always so kind and welcoming!

anmol talwar

One of the finest club in peel region.

Brendan Gomes

Awesome facility. Always clean. Great classes. Liza is always so friendly and the environment there is awesome!!

Kristine Cruz

Amazing gym that I was able to use for free for staying at the Delta across the way. Its clean and has friendly staff. So many cardio and weight machines. Part of the gym is female only if that is what you prefer. I was unable to use all of the amenities such as the pool, sauna and showers. This gym also offers group classes, but unfortunately I was unable to try as time didn't allow it. I recommend this gym over the gym inside the Delta hotel.

DJ LEE

I do not recommend this gym to anyone the employees are constantly harassing members about wearing a mask & they constantly watch everything you do it's annoying the saunas are closed which is why I wanted to join I cant have my gym bag with me which I really need during my workout the restrictions are ruining this gym and customer service is worst to none.

Matthew Ronholm

If you're looking for classes it might be okay. The weightlifting and crossfit area are absolutely tiny. Very little equipment for such a huge building, half of the facility seems to be offices for who knows what. For the money not worth it at all, and the posh management walking around are very condescending.

Carlene Smith

Always feel welcome!!

Sam Fitt

The staff were decent and helpful on the surface things looked clean but upon closer inspection things were not very clean . Will not go back there's always better options to explore . If they get new managers things may greatly improve .

Izzy Shakfa

Best gym ever. I go daily religiously and forever... I've been going here for years and no complaints thus far.

Stephanie Furtado

Very welcoming atmosphere, love the openness of the facility and the fact that they have no basement.

E. Tamari

Seems like it will be a nice place however: multiple charges that aren't all disclosed upfront. Misleading information and combative salesmanship at least on the part of at least one of their salesstaff (notably Morgan). Who also failed to follow through with promised information by email after the visit. Fortunately, Kyle corrected some of her "errors and omissions" when I called to confirm some facts. **** So the response I received from Movati: Fails to address adequately my concerns. A) In particular the professionalism of their staff and B)Having been to many gyms I find your gender inequality answer inaccurate and inappropriate in Canada. C) Finally, I agree with Marcia those 5 star ratings for a club that has yet to open are very suspect.

Lubna Masri

Movati Burlington is one of the best gyms I have ever went to. It combines many different classes including their yoga studio. I love Maha classes, every time I go I feel her positive energy and enthusiasm. She is the best ????????????????

Alexis S

Best gym I’ve joined! They literally have everything you need. Annoying that with the price you pay towel service isn’t automatically included, and there’s no cotton swabs or cotton pads in the shower area.

Mattamas C

Amazing facility! So many different areas to workout. General area upstairs, women's only area downstairs. Both a general pool and women's pool. Jacuzzi, sauna, steam room. Great equipment. Very friendly staff! Great juice bar and lounge. And a pool table!

Charlie Thomson

Good facilities, nice equipment. Older staff are very friendly and helpful. Younger newer staff are rude and unhelpful. Very uncooperative and confrontational when it comes to problem solving. Bad experience.

Wendy Pole

Lots of great equipment and dynamic workout spaces. Front desk staff, classes, environment and trainers are awesome. So glad I joined.

Afroz Ghori

The equipment is world class, staff does their work. Nothing to complain.

Jennifer Cheddie

Starting to get overcrowded and showers aren't as clean as the used to be. When they first opened it was fantastic but i'm finding that it's becoming extremely over crowded lately and as mentioned the attention to detail with the showers are no where close to where it was. I'm not sure if they cut back on staff but it needs to be cleaned up more.

Farshad Parvin

Everything here is higher quality, you're well taken care of if you need anything. Overall very good atmosphere.

Monica Martinez

A very complete gym, very efficient classes, qualified trainers, I love ..

Whitney Grace

I like Movati gym! There's something for everyone - I have never had a negative experience, other than being a little bored by a certain yoga instructor, whos class I simply avoid now. Judging by the insane staff turn over at Goodlife I see online, I would certainly not bother with them. Nor do they have half the amenities that Movati has to offer.

Benita Etey

Best gym ever! They have the best Zumba instructors and group classes are fabulous! Would reccommend to anyone, and competitive prices.

Tina Rae

I have been a member at this club for the past year and I have enjoyed using the facilities which are well cared for. I've appreciated the staff who are welcoming, kind and helpful. I have also enjoyed the activities available for my family to participate in including family swims and Kids fitness classes.

John Carlett

Activated a 3-day pass online and went in only to be turned away since I need to "book an appointment". The mandatory appointment should be stressed to potential customers to avoid inconveniencing people.

sapideh zia (Saps_bailaybaladi)

Good gym overall! But the women's amenities are usually always closed even before covid Which is quite irritating But otherwise very clean and great service.

Kevin Pringle

Great new fitness place in burlington.

Nikki Marco

Best Club out there!!! from the variety of classes down to the amazing staff always so welcoming and cheerful want some great customer service ? Movati Athletic has it!!!

Xavier Stormsurge

Good gym and all but the "No Commitment" plan is a bit of a scam. They said you just needed to cancel ANYTIME before a certain date so they won't charge you an extra month. They never told me that you need to give a 30 days notice before you cancel AND that you need to cancel approximately 7 business days before that certain date so the banks can process it. None of that was said so there goes an extra monthly payment.

Warren

One of the ways I can thank Movati and the people who make this club so good is sharing my experience. Yesterday, November 14, 2020 at noon I joined Movati Mississauga's class via Zoom (At home) and it was awesome! Why? Because of of excellent instructors like Kasia K. She had setup perfectly, using a microphone headset that made it very clear to understand instructions. Her poses were easy to understand (challenging to do though, as it should be) and she gave very clear examples. Some of the positions I remember were 'cat/cow', gate pose, downward dog, sun salutations, rag doll, goddess pose, surfer lunge, and near the end a pose that required balance that I have yet to master. Movati, thank you for Kasia’s Yoga (Hatha) class online. I have to say not only did I enjoy my class with Kasia but the feeling stretched and a more relaxed mind made my day much better, especially though these challenging times. Well done!

W (FromStreetsVille)

I had the pleasure of doing Speed & Power with Michael G. S. on Saturday at 10 am and it was awesome! He has the best music, and is a great motivator to get you to push yourself to the max. He starts the class by showing everyone how to setup their bike. He also explains all the set rules on social distance and wearing masks. Also, if you think the lights are dim and he's not watching... Forget that! He's watching. This is a class for serious spinners. But if you are starting out just let him know as he always has time for new spinners. A great instructor! Thanks Mike!

Kelli Reynolds

I'm new to this location, But the staff immediately made me feel welcomed and I belonged!! Answered my countless questions, and made sure I knew I got all the information I wanted! a Special thank you to Thea, and Steve! I can't wait to evolve even more!!!! This is just day 1!

Zoran Karacic

Very pleased with the place: professional staff , knowledgeable trainers, wonderful greetings at the front. Great and updated equipment and the cleanliness are great. I hope people focus on all this than trying to find every little thing that can bother them.

Celse Dav

Gym is nice yes but not enough equipments for everybody to use. There is an actual line to use certain machines

Dipti Kapoor

Love the group classes. Michelle M ,Colleen B and Heather are all wonderful.

JaggSwag230

Lots of machines and lots of space

Afshin Fathi

Disappointed! Noting here is as it was in my previous Gyms. Don’t be fooled by the good reviews. The employees go around asking people to write about them! The truth is some of them are not nice or friendly, please go through the reviews with lower stars to find out about what is going on here! They will lie to you specially some of trainers, and their manager he is not helping you, he is one of them! In my experience It is the only place in Canada in which costumers are not valued. No respect for costumers! No honestly! It is not a place to invest your time and money! I saw a costumer today who was not happy about her training program and I saw the irresponsible response from trainers manager. The poor girl was not able to speak English so I translated for her and I was not able to believe the responses from the trainers manager! Let me tell you something, they DO NOT RESPECT costumers. Another important note: Do not sign any contract with trainers, if you do they will not accept their first condition which is cancelling before 10 days if you do it verbally! Write a letter, if you are doing it make sure the trainer manager will see it and will give you a note that he did accept it. The person who I was translating for called the trainer to cancel it and afterwards the trainer was denying the fact because it was done verbally. The trainer manager told me SO SHE DO NOT HAVE ANY EVIDENCE! Yes it is a part of what you are signing for it you want to go to this place. If you want to get a lawyer before! gather evidence :D do it because here you will need them to prove your words, because they do not trust you. And if they don't, why should you!

Nathan Johnston

Great Gym. Classy. Helpful. Staff care.

peter belizaire

Amazing gym amd great staff. Ask for Sarina if you need help! She is your go-to girl!!!

Harley M

Clean, friendly staff. Could use more paper towel stations though. Some dispensers are always empty.

Amani Mukbil

Clean, professional,

ásmán t

New luxury Gym

Kirsten Dahl [Staff]

Arvin is always friendly and welcoming at the front check in!

Julian Jakupi

I’m very disappointed with Movati Athletic Gym on Stone Road in Guelph. The equipment is unmaintained, almost always broken, worn out and not serviced. The gym atmosphere and decor resemble a library or office space. The mirrors are placed in areas not reflecting where the other gym equipment is. The music is absolutely horrific, there is absolutely no motivation to continue working out at this gym. Most of the google reviews are done by staff members, I can easily recognize the faces and names of quite a few of them. FAKE! If this was my first gym to workout in I would never workout again! Please save your time and money and go to another gym!

danyal yousefi

Lyana and Eric have helped me so much since I have started at Movati. They are so kind and friendly! Eric helped me with some exercises and Lyana got me on started on a membership! They are very professional and I highly recommend seeing them if you decide to go visit the gym.

Olga Rotchin

Higly reccomend this location, especially im happy with work if my trainer Yusuf. He is very educated, knows what he is doing and individually approaches each client

John Gregory

Clean , Friendly staff, good equipment.

Annemieke Smit-Roeland

Great all-in-one facility. Friendly staff, big variety of equipment, lot of & different group classes offered throughout the day, heated swimming pool and much more other options to relax. Definitely value for the membership rates.

Fatima Alhaan

Very clean and sophisticated environment. It's big place and very one is very friendly and helpful. The trainers are positive, hands-on and very patient with clients. The yoga studio is gorgeous! They have indoor pools with family time. They have a great all equipped women's only and worth it.

Karen Korody

Have had an excellent experince at Movati Burlington since it reopened in August. Staff is doing an awesome job of keeping the gym clean and sanitized. Instructors and trainers are excellent! Love Maha and all of her classes, Rhythm and Beats, 20-20-20, Powerbar and TRX.

dr.ghassan dulaimi

Very bad Gym, I agree with you they have a good facilities ,but they have limitation on numbers of lockers. The manger refuse to solve my problem ,and the customer service was not professional at all.They don't have any immediate solution for my problem. I am wandering here , is the reducing numbers of lockers will help with Covid-19 crisis. I don't think so because many of participants will not leave the locker room waiting for anyone coming and leave his locker empty,so more people in the same place.

Kamran Fotovat

Amazing gym! Very clean! Love the community feel. Their new app is amazing for reserving your time and getting into the gym without wait.

Sasha Goudzentchouk

Almost impossible to get into a class right now, yet they don't allow to cancel or hold a membership if you've been a member under a year. Not sure why I'm stuck paying $75/month when I can't use the gym to it's fullest capacity. I signed up originally because I wanted to do hot yoga and use the steam room -both which I can't do right now because the steam room is closed and the wait list for a class is always 5 people and then people cancel last minute and the class ends up not even being full. Either drop your fees or let people opt out of their membership if you want to be respectful to your clients.

D C

Not happy that Movati opened its locations after covid restrictions were lifted and didn't bother to tell its members. I only knew because I use a trainer.

Andrei “PrimeSeventyThree” Grichine

Really nice place for a workout. Spacious, clean and not too busy during the day. Excellent equipment selection and friendly staff.

Saleh Al Samarrai

Nice gym .. Excellent equipment.. The only dissappointment is no soap in the shower ..no towels available unless you pay for it. They need to pay more attention to the change room and keep it well maintained.

Nick Walters

Nice facility. Clean with lots of amenities. Sometimes very crowded and often broken equipment, however the equipment is usually fixed within a day and the crowds eventually leave

Vanna T

Clean and Safe place to workout. It has good workout classes and equipment as well.

Karam Nabahani

Terrible customer service from. I don't ever post negative reviews but this is not a way to treat members getting potential clients to the gym. The incident took place yesterday and myself and partner had joined the gym around two weeks ago. Two friends of mine came along to see the gym and consider whether or not they might want to join now or in the near future. I told my friends previously that all they had to do was come in and someone will show you around and they would get their tour and the opportunity to try the gym out. As we were arriving I found out from the representative that they needed to book in advance through the website at least a few days and arrange with someone for the tour (That was not the case when me and my partner registered). I mentioned that I did not know that and since we are here now can we still do a tour as an exception? The representative gave me two options ONLY and insisted we had no other options; 1 to pay $20 for each friend to get a day pass (This is at 8PM) or use my two week passes from my elite membership. We ended up paying since the gym was already scheduled in our plan and I was the one who toured them around the gym and showed them the facilities. This is not a way to treat members getting potential clients to the gym. This is not acceptable in any form for good customer service. If in anyway I was incorrect (Again this was not the case when we came in to try the gym) they should tailor solutions to special cases like this. On a side note gym equipment and facilities are great.

Ash

Great place! Lots to do, many classes, top notch equipment, caring staff! Best women's only area I ever seen. Other gyms are now gonna have to step it up to get my business back because I switched. The womens only pool blew my mind. They seem to really care about you as a person here.

Maisam Hasan

Aaisha was amazing! So helpful, professional. She went out of her way to help us and made us want to move to the gym because of her excellent customer service!

Spencer Moore

Gym facilities are quite nice & have lots of contemporary offerings including some unique ones. Steam rooms, Saunas, Yoga, etc. As others have noted they do request your personal banking information for your monthly payments as the only form of payment (which I find a bit bizarre). Please read your contract carefully & make a fully informed decision before signing & most importantly Stay Healthy!

Yannie Meletopoulos

This review is specifically for Yusuf, one of the personal trainers at Movati Mississauga. He is extremely professional and knowledgeable in the area of fitness and also nutrition. He has a holistic view of fitness and has excellent listening skills. As a client, I have been very impressed with how he listens to my needs and developing a workable plan that is achievable. Great results with Yusuf, and would highly, highly recommend asking for him by name when looking for a persoanl trainer. Hands down the best personal trainer I have had!!!

Stacy Power

I love it here. I have been to GoodLife and it didn't come close to comparing . This gym is always clean and the staff are super friendly. I couldn't be happier.

Laddy Syxomphou

It seems like this gym is only in it to make money. Customer service is probably one of the worse, no exceptions and everything is in fine print. Be careful what you sign up for.

Minerva Sanchez

Club has reopened and they are taking precautions to keep everyone safe. I appreciate the warm welcome, extra sanitizing stations, and distancing decals on the floor.

Kiwi N

The club is very nice, great equipment, great staff and very clean. Lyana is very professional, I was a little hesitant about the process she took her time to answer all my questions and made me feel a lot better proceeding. Lyana is very knowledgeable and experienced and I learned a lot from each conversation. Highly recommend!!

Salina Fox

Loving this new gym! It's so beautiful! 8 days open and I've done 10 classes? So inspired!!

Nuri Al-khazrag

The most amazing customer service in the world. The girls at the front desk are great .

Renjith Venugopal

Movati start charging me monthly charges since August and I tried to connect many times since August . At last connected with them mid last week and their response was lame. More over these unprecedented times they shouldn't charge their customers as default since every one going through situations. Anyways because of this unprofessional approach I wouldn't recommend Movati

Candace Raymond

Beautiful Space, attention to patrons needs, and offers the most extensive range of classes. Beginner, to Advanced, Yoga, Pilates, Circuit, Interval, Zumba, every day. The Women's section is secluded, and offers, pool, sauna, steam room, dressing rooms private studio, and private equipment room. All included in a low price of approx 25 every two weeks.

A G

My favourite instructor is Maha! She is an amazing teacher. She’s so enthusiastic and positive, and leads her class by setting an example. She offers modifications always, and continues to push everyone to their maximum effort. Tabata is my favourite class and Maha is my favourite instructor!

Khadijah El Banawy

It's simply the best gym there is. Starting from the front desk and the welcoming staff who are always trying their best to help out. Brett and Laura are always helpful and friendly, thank you for that. The gym itself has everything that anyone would possibly look for in a gym. They offer a wide range of classes that you can choose from, whatever is your preference. Hot yoga is fantastic. One of my priorities at choosing a gym, is its cleanliness and definitely Movati is the cleanest in Regards of the changing and wash rooms, pool, everything. My only comment is that there's no classes at a certain time of the day, I just wish it was all day long.

Lisa Bucher

One of my fav gyms because there are so many classes and the women`s only section is fantastic.

Cinthya Lucanas

awesome place

D M

Checked it out & for the price they want you to pay, you might as well join the YMCA

Gracia Mboko

Favorite instructor is Maha ! Her energy is contagious and she makes working out so much fun:)

Chantal Pastorek

I have been training at Movati for over 3 years now. This gym is by far the best gym compared to LA fitness, Goodlife, or any other large gym. It is so clean and you can always access the equipment you want during your work out. I have trained with both Nathan Carter and Denzil Ottley and had great experiences. Both have catered my training to my goals and have worked with me to achieve them. Denzil has also been an immense resource through his athletic therapy services. I have been to physio, message therapy and other trained professionals in the past but have not found someone who has been able to pinpoint and treat my injuries with the same degree of precision. I would highly recommend his services if you are treating any injury or rehabbing a persistent issue.

Jasmin Elliott

Worth every penny! They really took the time to create a great gym atmosphere. They MANY group fitness classes make it easy to find something anytime of the day. I LOVE the dedicated yoga zen area - just really goes to show that they understand what people want. Really greatly over the top!

Sue Paul

I do like the heated pool - and I love the steam room and the swimsuit dryer. Unfortunately - the steam room is always under repair - and the swimsuit dryer was removed, last time I was in. It is for this reason, I feel that what I am paying in fees is too much.

Alice Schmidt

The ignite boxing with Sheri or Patrick is amazing! You will sweat and have fun while working out

Angelo Kurbanali

Love this place! Matthew Lee is especially helpful. I've seen major improvements in my performance and ability through his helpful advice, in depth knowledge and thorough stretches. Definitely recommend!

John Watson

I have to admit, I'm surprised at some of the negative reviews I've read since I haven't shared any of these bad experiences at Movati Athletic. As a result, I feel it's important to add my voice to those who like this gym. My wife and I joined in January of 2014. In December 2014, they went through extensive renovations and the decor now looks fresh, modern and clean. Several new machines were added as well. I've always found the staff to be friendly, both when I'm arriving and leaving. There are a massive number of classes available but the only group classes I attend are in the Yoga Studio. The instructors are excellent and the equipment as well as heat and steam equipment are in great shape. Why 4 stars then, instead of 5? I'd like to see equipment which needs repair to be fixed a bit more quickly (eg Jacob's Ladder) - however, lately this appears to be improving. Why do I REALLY like Movati? Since August 2014, I'm working out twice a week with a personal trainer, Heather McIsaac. She is absolutely fantastic and she gives me a new workout regime every time I work with her, thus keeping ahead of muscle adaptation. She is also a former Canadian champion in boxing and is able to push me as hard as I am willing to train. Fitness consultant Anthony Janicas was very thorough, checks in with me on a regular basis and is always very positive and motivating. At the end of the day, it's about results. My increase in muscle mass and loss of body fat since working out here is noticeable and I'm loving the results. The combination of pleasant environment, friendly staff and awesome trainer make this a gym I'm happy to come to on a regular basis - and that equals a healthy body.

Matt Smith

Was a member there for 2 years they put rates up and reduced their hours. The gym is usually clean, has good weights and equipment. Rates are pretty high my wife and I pay $100 a month for the two of us. The showers soap dispensers, and paper towel on the floor is usually empty. I go to this gym minimum six days a week and have been member for about 1.5 years. I am thinking about switching to other gyms that have lower rates and are truly 24/7 such as Gold Gym or Good Life. Basically I expect more when paying this much a month.

Ryan Williams

Movati Burlington has always managed to exceed my expectations when I visit. The friendly staff and the clean environment has always made me feel welcome upon my arrival. Matt is an exceptional employee at Movati as he always greets the clients and gives friendly reminders to follow the Covid-19 protocols. He always manages to make everyone feel comfortable in the environment and is a great leader at Movati. Keep it up!

Ross MacHattie

Fabulous instructors like Maha!

Elizabeth Cruickshank

Another challenging and fun Rythem and Beats with Liza M. Geat club. Friendly staff. A good value.

Jennifer Crumb

The best part of Movati is the Personal Trainer my husband and I I work with. Liliana D is professional, knowledgeable and always a positive person. She makes workouts fun while challenging us at the same time. Whether training virtually or in person, she challenges us to be our best and do our best. She understands and applies her knowledge in kinesiology and is always in tune with how training affects us, being sure that we are training correctly by correcting posture as needed. Put simply, she is the best there is!!

Reza Alirezaei

Overall a good gym and fairly well managed. Since the re-opening I’ve noticed there is less attention to keep the pool and the pool area clean and hygienic. It’s clear that overnight cleaning is not happening and the existing staff in charge of cleaning can’t keep up with the workload. I have to give the guy who is in charge of cleaning men’s room a lot of credit though. He works hard and he’s super clean. This is just a shortage of staff situation and more a management issue than particular cleaning man or lady issue.

Roohi Beg

I have 2 things to say about this gym: 1) I truly appreciate all the extra effort taken by the staff to maintain the cleanliness of the equipment, lockers, studios, etc. I feel more confident in booking a workout because the staff and the members are making a conscious effort to be safe. Thank you for doing a great job! 2) If you’re at the gym and looking to get yourself back in shape but need help - you have to look for Yusuf, my trainer. He is invested in your goals, and wants to make sure you’re getting a great workout in each time. He is super knowledgeable and was able to design a tailored food plan that worked for me and it’s never been so easy to eat. He motivates me even when I want to give up. You want his energy around 100%. I look forward to every session.

Long bald Man

It's not only a gym but a whole community that has everything with in.. Sauna, steam, swimming pool, hot yoga, basketball court.. and above all place is so clean and uncrowded your your daily work out:)

Yousef S.

Truly top notch gym. Clean, friendly staff, non judgmental. If you are looking for a premium club experience look no further!!

Duane McKay

Beautiful facility. Great equipment. My disappointment comes from space given to training in the free weight and machine area. There doesn't seem to much thought in the placement of the machines, nor do I believe they have given enough square footage for the area. I believe the majority of members will spend their time in this area and will lead to overcrowding. Space should be given accordingly to areas where the majority of members will use. I've seen too many gyms that create large specific areas which aren't high usage.

Johnny Mentero

Best gym/club in town, hands down. Joey is the best employee; he keeps the place impeccable.

Steve Yang

Personal training experience is beyond awful, my trainer left the gym after 5 training session. The gym did not give me a single call or email to acknowledge me about his leave.

Jitter Daoc

Air conditioned and always clean and has a large selection of machines. Rating, 5stars!

Kimberly Coleman

Pool, towel service, lots of machines, and personal trainers. Very nice inside.

Thankful that the gym is open again, I'm having a really good experience so far. I'm able to do my heavy Squats, Bench, and Deadlifts and not be bothered. They also have a lot of machines you can use as accessories movements. They do not allow chalk however so if you are lifting heavy you have to bring straps and do accessory work for grip seperate than barbells.

The facility is extremely clean and the staff are very knowledgeable and friendly, especially personal trainer Ben and Liza

I had a bad injury in 2013, that resulted in nerve damage and multiple back surgeries. Recently I began Facial Stretch Therapy with Personal Trainer Amanada Sirio. I cannot praise Amanda enough for what she has achieved with my injuries, basically I was Humpty Dumpty and she put me back together again!! Amanda is not only highly knowledgeable and skilled (better than Chiropractor), but an amazingly caring person as well, I could talk with her all day. Thanks for all your help Amanda :)

I pay 28.50 a month at crunch on Erin mills and Millcreek and they have all the same stuff as this gym and it allows me to go to all the gyms across Ontario. Goodlife has Eleiko bars, platforms and plates if you’re a “serious” lifter or an actual power or oly. lifter. Meadowvale community centre has been completely renovated head to toe and has terrific classes, brand new weight training equipment, Olympic size swimming pool and a full size basket ball court; all at a fraction of the cost to what this gym is offering. The only thing I can’t think of that’s in a 5 km radius of my house is a spin studio, like a soul cycle, that this Movati has. I worked out this gym once and I can already tell how toxic this gym is going to be to go to, I rather put up with the same antics for 50% less. Also the machines at this Movati aren’t as varied as the one in Burlington; this point really bugged me since the one in Burlington has amazing machines that I’ve never seen before. The crunch at Millcreek and Erin Mills is probably better suited for you if you’re a body builder since they have more barbells, more racks, more benchs’ and way more machines. Idk why anyone would go here other than: for newer equipment, they really don’t know that a gym is a gym no matter where you go (i.e. you’re just starting out) and clearly you haven’t checked out the dozens of community centres in Mississauga or the GTA. Save your money, put it towards healthier food, which is also expensive, add a small routine that you can do at home without equipment, go for more walks and pour through the countless fitness videos on YouTube. As a personal trainer for 4 years a new gym doesn’t mean motivation for better results, more often it means money wasted. A transformation that will stick can take 10 years to achieve. Inform yourself with google first and thank me later.

If you cancel your membership, make sure to check, they will likely not follow through with the request and continue to steal money from your bank account.

Johnny Oliveira

I came from a hard core gym, went to a high class gym, and now I found the perfect amalgamation of the two. Very clean, extremely high quality equipment and facility. Very inviting for people of all fitness levels and ages no matter the goal.

Lillian K

Lyana is so friendly and welcoming. The facility was so pretty and clean, I had the best experience there! Thank you Lyana!

Muscle Max

Awesome gym, clean, friendly staff, state of art equipment, varsity of angles to all muscle groups, huge cardio machine area and a turf filed.

Surbhi Kumar

I personally love that it has co Ed classes and also a private gym , pool and class only For women. I alternate between all of them And love it. The staff is friendly and helpful. The facility is very clean and well maintained. Money well spent!!

S.A.M Maq

I wish I could give you guys zero ⭐️ and I could cancel my membership And the employees in here they don’t have common sense, it was my favourite place and now it’s not I hate it coming here anymore And I want to cancel my membership with you guys and I don’t want to be the member of movati anymore, the reason im not happy with them is because when I signed up they give me a value of $100 promotional gift card which I used only $15 in 2 months as I didn’t need anything to buy from them but when today I wanted to buy something they said my card is expired and there is no way I can get my money. They didn’t even mention about expiration when I got the card. That’s so disappointing being here as a member and they don’t treat you they way you are supposed to be treated. And I can find a good fitness gym I am sure.

B. Lefort

Best Gym in Windsor and Essex County. Compared to their main local "competitor", their membership price is less for more, with most updated equipment in a spa-like relaxing environment, with steam rooms and 2 large pools on top of that. Many classes to choose from, ftom 6am to close. Also, Movati has an awesome app with at-home or gym workouts, class scheduling, challenges, health tracking and so much more. The cleanliness and attention to detail is top notch.

Meerkat M

Attitude change before and after you sign up. Ghosted by personal trainer multiple times

Rustam Shirinov

Everything is good until you are trying to cancel membership. My parents were a long term visitors here, and I got membership for them. After 8 month of enjoying gym they have to go back, because my father got cancer diagnose and they moved back for emergency treatment. Movati's manager declined to cancel membership, because they need real letter form my parents from their country. So, I am so happy you can use my money when someone need it to save their life! Thank you very much! I will never come to Movati again!

Chaode Wu

It is a good gym , stuff at front desk are always help. Only disappointed thing here is group classes are not scheduled very well, the person who manages it needs more skills.

Daria Korsun

Not worth the money spend. Dirty pool with floating particles (seen people complain) and steam room constantly not working. Constantly infrastructure issues and renovations. Lack of cleanliness in change rooms and sauna which is basic thing to ask.

AD Nahal

This place is good compare to one close to my house. Aaisha is so awesome!!! She is always so welcoming and greets everyone with smile...

amanda h

Awful service from staff at the front. Reconsidering ever wanting to go there.

Carla Johnston

Movati is a great gym! So many amenities. I have also worked with a personal trainer, Maysah Eid, who is wonderful. She helped me set attainable goals, and has pushed me to reach them in an encouraging way. She is also really professional and knowledgeable.

Matthew V

Great gym. Little pricier but you get what you pay for. In this case, I think it's worth it. Way better atmosphere and more equipment, plus a pool!

Bruno D'Antonio

Nothing but good things to say about Movati. I've been a member for over 2 years. Cleaning staff is always present and keeping the facility is in top notch shape. The gym has a massive variety of equipment for all levels of members. The equipment and facility are maintained very well. The staff is always nice, helpful and very open to feedback. There's a large variety of group fitness classes. Looking forward to increasing the amount of classes as well as opening and closing times of the gym (to pre-Covid hours). The instructors are the best... always enthusiastic, they constantly challenge you. They adapt the classes to ensure everyone from novice to advanced members achieve their goals. I especially like that they get to know the members/students. Love all my past and present instructors ':^)

chaitanya sai kumar

Pretty good place to workout with lots of equipment, basketball, two types of sauna and a pool. But they are totally unable to handle the capacity of the people that's rising beyond the capacity of accommodation. Hope they get a solution for that soon.

Mike Marchand

I joined as a member this past May. I've been a member ever since and plan to continue my membership On my cursory visit I was treated with every professional courtesy and this has continued on every visit since. the staff are helpful, cheerful, and encouraging no matter what your body type or fitness goals. The facilities are kept nigh immaculate, and there is an excellent variety of classes and equipment. Every member is well-mannered. The offer of a month to month membership is great. Honestly, I can't say enough positive things about my experiences here and encourage anyone shopping around for a gym membership to strongly consider coming here.

Oliver Stevens [Staff]

Seems like every time I go to use the co-ed pool/hot tub its full of kids doing swim lessons and hanging out in the hot tub. I checked with the front desk and there are swim lessons from 4:30 to 8:45 most nights. This is not even posted on the schedule. Why not? Joined for the state of the art Flight spin classes. However, none of the instructors seem to know how to use it! Apparently they were trained on it last weekend, still no Flight today. Just a large blank screen. You have a beautiful Ferrari in the garage, lets take it out for a spin! Would also suggest adding some advanced level spin classes. Aside from the that the gym is amazing, great staff and facilities. Hope they figure it out soon.

Sanaa Baddou

They were supposed to open on April 2020.they re-opened 24 August 2020 due to Covid-19 without any prior notice and they charged all enrolled people. Now Iam trying to cancel this membership and nobody is picking up the phone or answering my emails.Are these people thieves? They can't force me to work out with mask on !! and they can't just take payments without my consent.

Delton Clarke-Brighton

Best gym in town! Friendly staff, equipment and change rooms are always clean.

Saleh Hasib

Nice gym but very poor customer service! This gym policy is try hard to make you signup for 12 months commitment even though your are already a member form past year . I guess they don’t believe in customer service ! a good customer service can bring back gym members again again year after year .

Teresa Edwards

It is the worst customer service ever. They have rigid policies that do not value faithful customers. It is a shame. They need to change the managers and review their corporate philosophy.

Patricia Sestari

Amazing gym ! Complete with top of the line equipment, friendly staff and the best classes ! They have a huge offering of classes, enough machines that you never have to wait. The pools are incredible and always clean. It is a little bit more expansive than other local gyms, but worth every penny! I have been to a lot of gyms in my life, and have honestly never seen anything like this one. Top quality in all aspects!

Jonathan Kuhlmann

Great gym, it has amazing amenities, such as a sauna steam room etc, although some are closed due to covid. I rate a 3 star review due to their sudden no gym bag rule. I find it very strange that they give you a complementary gym bag upon signing up, and unexpectedly create a rule to prohibit them from all areas but the change rooms. This rule is not listed in the agreement terms. The prohibition is enforced not due to covid, cleanliness, or hygiene issues. I can regognize if it is due to health and hygiene reasons, such as not being able to sanitize the bag. However the rule is being enforced due to a “ tripping hazard” when people are supposed to be 6ft away, and theft. Why not provide a clear plastic draw string Movati bag if theft is an issue? This type of bag can also be sanitized on the out side. I find cleanliness will deteriorate as people, such as myself who uses bands, lifting belts wraps and other exercise tools, and masks ( as they are optional when on equipment or stationary) will be left sporadically around the gym, on other equipment and the floor, not contained. Great move for hygiene during Covid Movati. The contradictory concept of providing a gym bag with the membership to be told we can not use it is unusual and misleading. I would like to highlight that this rule is only enforced at the Windsor location, our home gym. Although the fees we pay to have cross member ships to other locations, such as Guelph and kingsville, where this regulation is not implemented. Movati, I hope you find a solution to these issues, as members are likely to leave or not join due to the lack of consistency, illogical rules, and lackadaisical approach to hygiene.

Bronwyn Blakley

I'm new to Movati Waterloo, but I want to take a moment to appreciate the care they've taken setting me up so far. I came in with a friend a week ago and spoke to Bailey from the sales team. She was awesome. She set me up with a free 7-day trial and was respectful of my wishes to make a decision on my own. Once the trial was over, Bailey sent me a message to ask how I enjoyed my experience and that if I want to sign up, I was just in time for the holiday pricing. I came in today to officially sign up, and the care that was taken was once again really awesome. Bailey is patient, kind, and relatable. But the staff in general have also so far been incredible. I am not a highly athletic person. I have had a membership to Crunch for years that I barely use because the facilities and service aren't/isn't great. I wanted to find a new gym that made me want to be there, so I checked out Movati. As someone new to running, I want to keep myself running in the winter, and I need a space that will help me stay motivated. My experience at Movati Waterloo so far has been above and beyond what I expect when it comes to essential customer service and customer care. Additionally, their facilities are clean and easy to use. This might be a long review, but I think it's warranted. If you're looking for a new gym and need a positive space, I highly recommend trying out Movati Waterloo. It's not always just about the price. It's about how you're treated and how you feel.

Andrew Shackleton

Really clean, lots of equipment, great staff

Sukh Singh

Yusuf has been my trainer for some time now and he has been a great trainer to work with. He's helped me understand how to get to my goals and what needs to be done to achieve them. He is very knowledgeable and working with him has allowed me to see results !

Vik's World

Best of All Gym in Kitchener and Waterloo location. Very clean environment! 5 Star rating....

Anum y shah

My experience has been the best at movati Burlington location. The trainers are amazing and my favourite is my Tuesday spin class at 9:30 with Maha. She’s awesome , energetic and brings in this crazy vibe which honestly motivates me to come in the mornings every Tuesdays for her class. Thank you Maha and continue to be this awesome person that you are :)

Saul Heddokheel

When I signed up initially in March 2016, I only needed a membership for 3 months. The saleswoman told me that after 3 months the gym will find me someone to take my contract and transfer it over to them. Unfortunately, there is much more to it than that as well as tons of extra fees, and the gym will not help find anyone to take the membership either. I feel like I have been robbed and am stuck with a gym membership I barely use and just to make things worse, I bring my cousin to work out with me and the gym tries to charge you $15 for bringing a guest.

Elizabeth A Kennedy

1/22/2018 I went here to check it out and the place seemed very new, bright and airy, with pool, weights, yoga spaces.

Amer Jamal

It’s a great gym but there isn’t any cables grabber

Iftikhar Mir

Well well well, really surprised to read negative comments about Movati. My family and i have been going to Movati for the past 5 years and we have never witnessed any of the staff members behaving in any bad manner other than complete professionalism. There is no comparison between Goodlife and Movati. Movati takes the cake.

Zainab Abdel-Majid

The cleanliness, communication, and professionalism of Movati is unlike any other gym I've been to. 20-20-20 with Maha is my favourite class, she's energenic and fun. It's definitely a full body workout!

Husam H

Great facility, Wonderful staff, and a special shoutout for the trainer Matthew. I have had three trainers from various gyms in the past and Matthew went above and beyond anything that i have had in the past. Would recommend 10/10 the results that we achieved at the end of our training has allowed me to be confident in my body and in any gym

Benny Rathwell

Pools new equipment shakes. Obnoxious price though.

Elena Rotestan

Great new gym with great facilities and all the group classes one can think of.

Katie Penner

Literal nightmare trying to cancel my membership. Was told one thing by manager on phone, but didn't right down her name. I expressed frustration that not all of their staff are on the same page about policies, their response was that I must be lying about what I was told on the phone! Took weeks to sort out, had to end up putting a stop on my bank account. I had a good experience while a member, and was only cancelling as I was moving away for a year. Wouldn't sign up again due to this bad experience.

Benito Zefferino

Expensive, but you pay for what you get! Premium equipment and service. Awesome steam room and has a public pool as well. Women's only side, which also has it's own pool. Highly recommend!

Daniel R.

I signed up well before the gym opened up. Been going regularly since the grand opening (a little over 3 months now). The equipment is state of the art. The gym is always extremely clean & has a fantastic lounge area where you can unwind for a game of pool. Very friendly staff. It’s never too busy (which I absolutely LOVE). I’ve trained in just about every gym in Ontario over the years; and this one is by far my favourite. A few pet peeves they could improve on: In the cardio area please enable close caption on all the large TV’s & on all the cardio equipment; every other gym has this-it would be nice to be able to read about what’s playing on TV since we can’t hear it. The internet/wifi speed for members is far too slow (practically useless) when the gym gets busy. Please increase the speed available to the members so we can actually use the internet (many other gyms do this much better). Those pet-peeves aside; this is a perfect gym for me!

Chris M

Been a member for many months. Bathrooms etc. are clean as mentioned. The have a very nice pool. Equipment is never cleaned by staff once in the whole time I've been here, several machines (a very small percentage) are broken for months. I mentioned all this to staff a couple of months ago and it never changes. They have a lot of nice equipment and tons of it but for a high end place you would it expect it to be taken care of and cleaned. I visited another major gym to be sure my expectations weren't too high and everything was spotless.

Alan Green

Small group training is excellent, especially Mark! Great pool and kids swimming lessons. Always very clean!

May M

dirty

Jan-Marie Morgan

Movati burlington is absolutely the finest gym I have ever been a part of. My personal trainer Fil Owczarzak is amazing and has helped me so much over the past several years to manage my MS and stay as strong as possible.

LiKe DyNaMiTe

Super clean and nice environment. Staffs are so polite. I love their group classes, specially Power Yoga with Ghazal .She is very professional and caring and I enjoy any classes she teaches .

Darryl Verduyn

I went to this gym as it was only a 2 min walk from my house. Its a typical big gym but you pay allot more. They need 2 hot water heaters as the one they have breaks down tons. Should not have to take a freezing cold shower when you pay a premium for the gym.

Julie Awsner

January of this year I started coming to this gym in hopes of just being able to walk normally due to Osteoarthritis in my knees and losing a couple pounds. Here I am a year later and working classes and seeing my trainer a few times a month, weight loss and muscle building are now my thing looking so forward to the next year of this transformation.. Thanks to the customer service team at the front who make me and my Partner feel like FAMILY and to "MITCH" my trainer for the hard life lessons about diet and working out right.. this gym is ware it is at.... Thanks

yeonjun

Will literally do anything to squeeze every penny out of you. So shameless and disgusting. Its like signing your soul away to the devil. would def NOT recommend. EVEN DURING COVID, ONLY CONCERN IS MONEY. THEY DONT CARE ABOUT YOU, JUST YOUR MONEY. AVOID

Michelle Panopoulos

I'm a newer member at Movati and I am really pleased with my experience so far! The gym is always clean, and the women's only area is quiet, and the pool is amazing. The staff I have dealt with so far have been polite, nice and friendly. The equipment is clean, easy to use and someone is always available to show you how to use the machines. The women's change room is great, and there is always a locker or shower available. My personal trainer has been great so far, and I look forward to working with her over the next year. Overall, I'm extremely happy with the experience at Movati so far, and the price is extremely resonable for all the services you get. I would definitely recommend this gym.

Sara Abu-Ghnaim

Awesome women's o Ly workout area, pool, sauna, and steam room

Rawan Ghuneim

MOVATI Burlington is like my second home! I’m there 5-6 days a week and I’ve never seen anything but respect, quality, cleanliness, professionalism and new friendships. Shout out to Mike, Mark, Mark 2, Ephraim, Nathan, Ayla, Margo, David, Denz, Sheryl, Marion and so many more! Thank you for making the gym a great place for all of us! Selena ????☺️

Bob Nixon

Friendly professional staff, clean facility, awesome!

John Fish

If you can afford it, best gym in Waterloo. Really top notch staff, excellent facilities, but it's pricey for a gym membership.

Yazz Mean

Awesome facilities and well maintained

DatBoiKash Mane

I'm a regular gym user and sadly its one of the worst rip offs I've had, ex: its not 24/7, you can't go to any of the studios unless there's a class, some of the trainers are retards that don't know what their talking about, staff that doesn't know how to great athletes but instead have attitude, lot of the machines out of order, you pay $70 a month but will pay extra for towel service, the pool is small, and mid day parking is a struggle, gym looks big but once ur inside you will realize that you have access to 1/5th of the gym, coming from a pro powerlifter.

Ryan Park

Great gym! Excellent atmosphere!

Mahmoud Yassin

Great gym ????

Brian Brand

Great gym, clean and has everything.

Cheryl Flamenco Steiner

Friendly staff, clean facilities, warm environment, with not fuzz feel. Love the place! I'm glad we have a Movati Club in town.

Britt Dixon

I love the group classes at Movati Burlington! They are fun and challenging! Maha is the best and always kicks my butt! ????????

Val M

Their class reservations system does not work. Don't bother reserving classes. They don't respect the reservations.

Jennifer Howard

Terrible experience. The young punk at the reception only had time to look at the little girls walking around. Not willing to even show me the gym. Lost a potential client and I am a Personal Trainer!

Relative FrencH20

The pool creeps me out ... I don't like swimming in a fish bowl which is why I left this gym to go to one with a more private pool where everyone is the lobby is full of men ten feet away and staring at the people ... girls ... in the pool.

Kelly Marie

Amazing staff and an amazing facility

Injla Khan

The gym is the best one I have been to so far and I have been to many chain gyms, studios, boot-camp gyms etc. The facilities are top notch and services are exceptional. One of the reasons I would highly recommend is for the amazing trainers here. I started with small group training with Liliana, and saw a major change in my energy levels, overall fitness and I was reaching my goals faster than with other classes and training on my own. One of the surprising things was, despite her not being my PT, she remembered the weights and endurance from previous sessions and would gradually push me more and more. I eventually signed up for PT with her and I am seeing great results. Not only does she help with training but is also very compassionate about my entire fitness journey, including nutrition. We come up with strategies based on my composition, lifestyle and the best training options for my routine and having that support from someone who knows the process has been great.

Alireza Aliabadi

Just read their contract before you join. They rip you off if you want to get out for any reason.

Lydia Lato

Best gym in town

Annabelle Poulin

If you are looking for a competent, knowledgeable trainer who really cares about you, ask for Yusuf. He is the best personal trainer I have ever had. The needs of his clients come first and he is a great listener. He has extensive knowledge in different areas and he really cares that his clients achieve their goals. It is rare to find such a good trainer, do not hesitate to contact him.

Valeria Rigler

I highly recommend choosing Movati Watetloo as your fitness centre. I have had great experiences taking group classes and using the women’s only pool after workouts. Lately I especially enjoy working with Liliana as my personal trainer. She knows exactly what I want to improve without me even having to tell her and her happy and cheerful personality motivates me through the toughest of workouts!

Madhu Sharma

Good place but expesive

Jody Stojcic

Lot’s of great gym’s in Windsor and here’s another. This gym is stunning and offer everything you would you need.

Jessica C

Movati only officially opened a few weeks ago but it is surprising not too busy. The gym is large and split up into different sections which is smart because it keeps the gym feel not overly populated. There are areas for the pool, weights, machines and rooms for classes and even a zen area for yoga and meditation. The women's only section features its own area for weights and machines as well as a room for classes. I've been coming here 3 times a week and there are a variety of classes I am looking forward to joining.

Cristian Oprea

The place is okay, clean, a lot of sanitation stations, employees are obeying the recommendations from Health Department but let's say around 80% of the customers are don't obey any recommendations, people are working on three working stations, jumping from one to another, don't sanitize the equipment and the weights after what they finished to use them, and to don't talk about the mask. But how I said the employees are doing their best.

Darren Powlett

I have worked out at all the major gym chains, LA Fitness, also at Canadian Body Works before LA Fitness bought it out, Goodlife, World Gym and Crunch Fitness. This gym is hands down the best gym in terms of cleanliness, space, lighting, variety of machines, quantity of machines, TRX cross training equipment and space, cardio equipment. I cannot speak for the staff expertise as I've been working out for 20 years and have never reached out to staff for assistance but the staff is very friendly, the playroom staff is also very friendly , helpful, and the playroom itself rivals most pay to play gyms for young children. If you are just looking for a basic gym to get a sweat on, the pricing of this gym may not appeal to you, if you are looking for an entire fitness experience, with the ability to expand your physical abilities without feeling intimidated or inadequate this gym is the best option for you. The TRX basement area is by far my favorite as it is a little "hideaway" so to speak where you can do squats, pull-ups, rings, elevated planks, sled pulls/pushes, tire throws, without having to have some staff member try to sell you on classes or explain how to use the equipment. Goodlife has a TRX area, much smaller but the staff would always try to sell you on enrolling in classes which is very annoying. I can say this gym is worth the price of admission, price will always be the main factor for most when joining a gym, but Movati Burlington is more of a fitness Oasis than a gym.

Angus

A consistently positive experience! Clean + friendly, helpful staff

Rebeca N

The gym is clean and I feel safe during these Covid times we are living. The staff is always friendly and helpful, especially front desk stafff and in particular Liza. She makes members feel valued and welcomed. Her customer services skills are excellent. I am happy that MOVATI decided to open in Mississauga, there is no gym like it , in my opinion . Good job MOVATI!!

Marlee Armour

I absolutely love doing Maha’s Rhythm and Beats spin class! She’s full of energy and makes the class so fun! My mom and I look forward to her class every week :)

BAshlyn

Ayla was amazing for my first time coming back to the gym. She knows so much and took her time explaining everything to me. I love this club and recommend her as a trainer for all fitness levels and any type of person!

Pamela Beharry

This review is specifically for my Personal Trainer, Liliana, with whom I have been working for nearly 3 years. She is terrific! I'm a 70+ woman in good general health, and I've had weekly 1/2-hour sessions during all this time, except for the recent COVID interruption. We have been able to resume since Movati began allowing their trainers to offer virtual sessions. Both before and since, Liliana has provided workouts that are perfectly matched to what I need. She designs routines that are interesting and varied, and provides excellent feedback about form. She has always pushed me enough and not too much, and has been so encouraging that it makes me feel as though I am doing a good job (which may not always be the case!). She has adapted our routines effectively to my home space and more limited equipment, even giving feedback about better placement of my iPad so she can see what I'm doing and how I'm doing it. Lilliana is knowledgeable, warm, and funny, and it's a pleasure to work with her. I hope Movati recognizes that she is a real "gem", and a great representative of their organization!

Maria

It's worth visiting here.

Nono Waseem

Love it!

Colton

I am very impressed with the effort and attention placed on the clients. Very positively honoured to be here, at this gym.

Yousaf Jamshed

Great club to join! Very friendly staff! Clean overall facility. Good value for money. Aaisha the membership coordinator was awesome, she helped me set my membership up and is super helpful even after I’ve already joined. I definitely recommend this gym!

Bashar Hadla

Terrible overall experience. I used to be a member here and that ended once I moved out of Guelph. Given the circumstances, I have moved back to Guelph as I have established a business here last year. I have reached out via phone, left a voicemail or two to get a corporate or group signed up including myself and no luck whatsoever. Fair enough, visited in person twice and left my contact information at reception / welcome desk for someone to reach out to me but no luck either. Overall, it’s such a poor communication and rudeness at the front desk which I experienced at the Guelph location. Oh well

Dahlia Hall

After floating through most of the gyms Ontario could give me, I finally found my stop here at Movati. It's 24 hours, it has an independent woman's section and pool alongside a common area with tons of variety in machines. The staff are very nice and easy to ask for help (there's always someone at the desk and around the gym). The classes are loads of fun and there's a great diversity of class types. The facility is always clean, is wheelchair accessible and there's a section dedicated to SQUASH! There's also a daycare center. So far it's been a year and I don't consider leaving anytime soon. Downfalls? Not enough locations I guess. The membership is a great deal considering what it offers (when compared to other gyms). Five stars, cheers!

Claire Freedman

Great gym however the sauna has been out of order for a month and is kept at a very low temp (even for infrared) if you're looking for a gym with spa facilities try LA or the YMCA but for $100/month this place is definitely not worth the money. Will be looking to sell off my membership

Carson Meloche

A lot of people but a nice gym

Carshella A

Best Gym experience, equipment, atmosphere and cleanliness wish they would bring back the "spa" music

Dr.JagCobra

My stepmom got a membership for us here a long time ago. I liked going here and they also have really good and healthy smoothies and other delicious and healthy stuff. Definitely recommend for anyone who’s looking for a good gym

Geordiz

I have been a member at Movati since the club opened. I have worked with 3 Personal Trainers and they were all great. I have been with Amanda for the past year and she is terrific. She is conscientious and definitely knows her stuff. I have absolute confidence in her. I would highly highly recommend Amanda

Haroon Malik

Great gym.. It's good to be back after quarantine

Wardah M

Just got the gym membership and it’s amazing. Love how theres a separate section for women only gym and swimming pool. But just a few things: 1) The lighting in the women’s gym and changing room is too bright, the white colour is very bright. It would be amazing if it can be changed to a yellowish colour how it’s upstairs in the workout area. 2) The music in the women’s changing room is very loud and it sounds sad. Can it please be changed to normal songs or even radio music and turned a bit down. Other than that, everything is amazing!

Taryn Young

Such a clean gym. I absolutely love it. No reservations and amazing classes Maha A’s spin class is so good

1/22/2018 I went here to check it out and the place seemed very new, bright and airy, with pool, weights, yoga spaces.

Burlington Movati has the best staff. Always welcoming and helpful and energetic to keep us motivated. My personal trainer is Ayla Haytaoglu, who is very dedicated to making sure I have the best workout program that is right for me, and makes it fun to be there.

Dimitri Kovacic

Pricey, but very nice gym. Spots book up fast due to COVID19

Unherd Promotions

Overall good gym and has everything required! The cleaning during winter season of pool and sauna facilities could be improved.

Julia Porcellato

Love this gym.....

TONY SPANOGRECO

Upscale gym. Clean and in great shape

Tacocat4642

Smaller gym with many features.

Owen Roseborough

Came to this gym for the hot tub - it's great and so is the pool for recovering after your workout. Good selection of free weights and machines. Large stretching area. Nice rowing machines. Would recommend it to anyone who wanted to workout.

Alana Wagner

This is a high end facility. It is a bit pricey but you get what you pay for. Has absolutely everything I need and the staff and atmosphere are great. No pretentious tat and drama club here, just mature people who want to improve their health.

Valentina Morasky

Truly a place where you'll feel welcome, feel comfortable, and feel HAPPY! From the staff to the club itself, I rate it THE BEST! The ambience created from the minute you step out of your car in the enormous parking lot, to entering this beautiful place, you'll feel an instant feeling of joy!

Allison Mistakidis

Beautiful club!

Mashelle Fahim

When I joined I thought it was a lovely place. The equipment was clean and the environment was very nice and made me want to go to the gym. However I didn't like the the people who worked there are rude. The group activities are upsetting because they work with the people who are better. A couple of times I've been to one of the activities and no one helped me into what I was doing. The employes stare and you and aren't very helpful.

I tried out this movati with a friend for a free trial. The facility is beyond amazing and includes everything from co-ed to women only gyms, fitness studios, yoga studios, spin classes, turf zone, 2 pools, suana, child care, smoothie bar, and patio. Unfortunately the price is extremely prohibiting to me coming here.

Killsaurus

Used to be completely in love with everything about Movati, but im extremely upset with what I just experienced. You have to call in looking to cancel your membership and SUDDENLY you have a magical option to just 'freeze' the account till you want to come back. I haven't stepped foot in this club since the pandemic hit yet have been charged accordingly. If freezing an account is that easy for you, why would you do the exact opposite and start charging with no notice during a GLOBAL PANDEMIC. Some of the most shifty business I've seen during this, you should be ashamed of the money you're stealing from people

Matt Rudland

Movati has done a great job since reopening with spreading out machines, cleaning the facility and making everyone feel welcome/safe.

Sadaf E

Every time I come here the girl at the front desk Liza is super helpful and friendly! Makes it a good experience every time because of her I would recommend movati to anyone

Sarah Wilde (IronBarbie)

Absolutely beautiful gym. So spacious , amazing class options, staff are friendly. The gym has lots of room and the best equipment. Whenever I’m in Burlington I visit. Great atmosphere

John Koollj

Amazing gym lots of equipment covid-friendly highly recommended

Shay

I recently joined this location, and wanted to take a moment to thank Account Representative Jordan H. for helping me throughout the sign-up process. He was extremely personable, helpful and supportive. Due to his positive energy I felt confident and excited to sign up as a new member and come back the next day to use the gym for the first time. He gave an engaging tour, and provided me with a great array of options to maximize my experience. He took the time to get to know me, my fitness goals, past fitness experiences and what brought me to Movati. The sign-up experience was great, he answered all of my questions and provided amble opportunity for me to assess my commitment and I didn’t feel pressured. Joining a new gym can be scary, but Jordan provided great customer service and I hope others get to interact with him in the future!

Shelly Scott-England

Warm, welcoming staff! Clean, organized facility. Exciting, flexible (and creative) whole-body workout classes daily. One of the very best environments conducive to cultivating or maintaining a total wellness lifestyle- they have all the tools available to get you started or keep you pushing your limits. I've found other gyms intimidating and sometimes discouraging but since joining I actually look forward to at least an hour of keeping my body in motion AND I'm no gym bunny????. This gym caters to the very varied spectrum of fitness levels!

Melanie Frijters

I have to note the cleanliness of this athletic club. The service is also exceptional. I love this gym:) definitely a wonderful warm and friendly gym!

Kristin Cunningham

Premium gym, definitely worth the money. Kicks goodlife and any other competition out of the park. If you're a parent looking for good child minding while you're working out, movati's childcare team is amazing. They're qualified and paid staff, not random volunteers just putting time in for community service hours for school. As for the gym, 2 pools, a women's area, co-ed, Crossfit-like section, many studios for different types of exercise classes, a zen lounge including a hot yoga studio and sky studio (entire back wall opens up to the outdoors on the second floor). VERY CLEAN gym. Also, tons of equipment to compensate for the busiest of times.

Aman Bal

Great environment with a price tag.

Lori Wright

The gym is beautiful and offers many choices for a great workout however, I am never able to reach anyone on the phone. I don't live in the city so if I need to get answers to a question, I have to drive to the location. I was told phone aren't working yet but I called another location out of curiosity and got the same recording...

Official Guy

Fresh clean environment, friendly staff, modern machinery.

Andrea Warren

I love this place! I have been a client for 2.5 years. I have never felt more comfortable at a gym. I have tried Goodlife and Madamoselle when it was still around. At Movati the staff AND clients are warm, welcoming, helpful and non judgemental. I usually go around 4:30pm and will admit that the odd time I have gone in earlier I have found the staff to be a little standoffish, but the afternoon team is amazing! I have been a client both with no issues and with an injury. The entire team has always offered me support, especially when I was in recovery from my back issue. I know that I can ask the training staff, CSA and managers any questions I have and they will always provide help and find answers for me. The only wish I have is that personal training wasn't so expensive. However, I guess it is worth the price to have a trainer who is properly trained and didn't just take a weekend course.

Robert Sipthorpe

Top rated facilities

Jessie Henry

Amazing facility. Clean. Professional staff that greet you as you arrive and leave. Great classes. Always a machine available. Not over crowded. Highly recommend especially the Barre Class.

Sno Pros

Best gym Ive ever step foot in. Period.

Lexus Man

Rude and arrogant General Manager, we got billed months after cancellation, the issue was clear cut but she said that the cancellation was my opinion despite the fact that offering multiple months time credit is a literal acknowledgement that it was wrongly billed. WATCH OUT CANCELLING WITH THESE GUYS

Amy Orr

I have been a Movati member for a long time, and have been seeing Amanda in the PT department for a few years. Amanda is AWESOME - would give 10 stars if I could! Movati is one of the few places in the city that offers fascial stretch therapy, and I would genuinely struggle to replace this service (or this gym) if it weren't available. Amanda is incredibly knowledgeable and flexible, working with me through health issues to find exercises and routines that work for me. I am significantly healthier because of her help! The facility as a whole is professional and the amenities are unbeaten in KW - particularly for women's only fitness, hot yoga and pools. Their safety protocols during C19 are excellent. 10/10, would recommend, will never go anywhere else!

Roger Baker

Great gym and it’s close to home. Wife enjoys it also.

Rai M

For a "high end spa and exercise club" they certainly dont operate like one. Ex. If a facility you know people use is down, but you have a sign it's only down until the 28th, but today is the 29th, perhaps you can make a post and communicate that before someone drives here, without proper gear to workout in a different area facility. Now I am livid once again, after cancelling my membership once before for unhygienic reasons, is it that hard to run a business well?

Tanner Coutts

I don't normally comment on things but just randomly read some reviews and thought wow, some people just love to complain - Movati is great! I've been a member for years, things are clean and the staff is so nice.

Yash Saxena

Probably one of the cleanest gyms in Waterloo. Saying this after working out at Goodlife, Laurier, World Gym and LA fitness. I haven’t seen any feces or bacteria on equipment like other reviews suggest. The machines are also always available. I never have to wait for anything. I see people complaining about canceling memberships and not getting their money back. That’s unfortunate, it’s important they read their contracts before signing and paying. Expecting sympathy should not be a default. Contracts exist to overcome unfortunate circumstances that could happen to anyone. A business still needs to run to support the thousand others that use the facility. Just because there are thousands of members doesn’t mean the gym has money to throw around. Most of these businesses are barely profitable, especially during covid. Sympathize with them as well. I also see people complaining about wearing a mask. Yes, it is a little silly to have to wear one while working out. But people need to realize that they are blessed to be able to workout during covid. In the US you literally can’t. Wearing a mask isn’t going to kill you. All public facilities are doing this to make sure they don’t become the source of a virus spreading and to show that they are taking it seriously and keeping the environment safe for older people who are in more danger. I would give Movati 5 stars, but the only issue is the bench presses. What is going on there. Why does that thing slide out. Just get regular benches, or at least 1 regular bench. I bet you will notice people using the regular bench over the fancy ones you have now.

Marjan Mogharrabi

I've been a member for over 2 years and I absolutely love it! Very open and spacious environment, and class times any time I want. I especially am a fan of the variety of yoga classes they offer, all throughout the day and evening. Thanks to the club for putting my current membership on hold during this time, as my schedule is different from prior to the closure and I'm not able to make it in right now. So helpful and I so appreciate that! :)

Michael Ayton

I joined Movati last fall because they have a really great swimming pool, steam room, sauna and great private showers with lots of hot water. I also find it never really crowded, and I always have my own lane for my laps, I generally swim for 45 minutes, six days a week. The staff are always very friendly, and Kelsey who works on the front desk is exceedingly professional, polished and kind. Andrew who works on weekends is great to talk with, loves astronomy, as I do too, and he makes my trips to the club that much better. I have tried many other clubs in London, Movati is further for me to drive but worth it, you get what you pay for and then some.

Liana Lipari

My fiancée and I just started working out with Eric as our personal trainer and we are sooo impressed. My legs may be sore but I am super optimistic that he will get us to our goals. Thank you to Daniel for matching us with such an awesome trainer and all the team at Movati for being so nice and accommodating. Shout out to Lyana as well, she’s also great.

Ivana

I attended today's opening day and I thoroughly enjoyed my experience! I am unsure why people are having a problem with the women's only area, when everything offered there is offered in co-ed, but I guess there will always be something to complain about if you look for it. It's a great space, tons of classes offered, everyone I spoke with seemed friendly and helpful. So all in all, a very positive experience. And yes, I did spend most of my time in the women's only, and I will continue to do so as it is, what I deem, a very considerate and refreshing space provided by this establishment.

Isam Khatib

Our instructor maha was incredible, had a great workout that was fun and rewarding. Will surely come back to train with Maha every time..

Giles Hofacer

Great gym, very well maintained, lots of equipment, good classes and nice staff

Carl Korody

The staff is always very helpful and the environment is extremely clean. I love Maha and all of her classes!!

Jauher Ahmad

Friendly staff, easy registration. Forgot to tell me about 2 free protein shakes until after I paid for one. Great facilities, lots of water fountains and santiizng wipes to clean machines. Vast selection of cardio/machines/freeweights. There's a channel on cardio machines where you watch your kids in the daycare, super convenient. Pool, hot tub, steam and sauna look great. $6 to replace lost tag which seems excessive. Look forward to my next visit for family swim.

Mark Seufert

Nice place to work out

Dima Balbisi

This was the most fun I’ve had for a while . Maha did an amazing amazing job making sure the class was fun , safe and it flew so by that I almost forgot it was a workout! Amazing amazing job Maha ❤️

LeidyBug

Just an amazing club! Me, my daughter and son are all members and we are over the moon with the facilities, we love the snack bar with all the delicious and healthy options. I also love taking Zumba and Drums with Valentina, her energy is amazing!

Wojtek K

Staff is very helpful and friendly. It’s a little tight around the free weights area and could use some more benches. Other than that, it’s very clean and well cared for.

Mićo Radulović

Love this gym and have been a member for years. Unfortunately the weekend hours are a bit ridiculous! Normally Saturdays they are open until 8pm (should be till 10pm at least) but I just came back from vacation and decided to go at 6pm and turns out now they close at 5pm! What's the point of having a membership if I can't use it? I hope they change this soon or I'll be changing gyms ????

Tony Batista

Only place in town with proper equipment.

Alvaro Gil

Nice new gym

Sukhvinder S Malhotra

Very clean, great work out equipments.

Lilita Esthetics Inc.

Love this Gym , and my amazing group trainer Liliana .She s always happy , knowledgeable and helpful.I love people who I train with them as well .cant wait till this Covid gone and take more classes and use the pool .

Nicole McK

Clean, beautiful gym, with everything you would want in a gym! Even a women's only pool! Loved it here.

G.R.D.

By far the best around. This new facility has everything I personally wanted from location to equipment! Extremally clean, organized & maintained that way !! I am certainly satisfied thus far and would especially like to show my appreciation for the fabulous service I receive from Sarah every time I enter your facility. The attitude of staff is there for all to see and as such, a positive attitude conveys to customers that Movati is interested in them and their Health & fitness goals. We always want to keep coming back to people / businesses who always make us feel special & Sarah along with the rest of the Movati team never miss a beat! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Movati to anyone! Check them out and see for yourself! :)

vicky olson

Excellent trainers and instructors!

Rares Finatan

Great, open environment with top-notch equipment. Luxurious feel all around.

Elodie K

Great gym. A bit expensive, but large choice of material and classes (yoga, zumba, cycling etc.), nice and helpful employees, pool, jacuzzi, clean changing rooms and other facilities.

Tay Mary

I’m honestly confused at how there’s any good reviews of this gym location. Staff. Front staff desk folks, I think they forget their job is customer service based. Meg is always pleasant, however the rest of the girls up front can’t seem to crack a smile or say hello. Equipment. Extremely outdated.. the weight machines on the women’s side is right from 1997. The cardio equipment on the main side has been garbage since they redid the flooring, most of the treadmills have a huge slant. Cleanliness. I often see the same garbage sitting around areas of the club for days at a time before its actually cleaned up, ridiculous considering they have full time cleaning staff.. the man and woman on the day shift cleaning are frequently not actually working, but rather hidden away in the back talking. Amenities. Realistically, lack there of. Pool either has swimming lessons, classes or lane swims.. Very difficult to actually find free time to utilize it. The studios are a complete waste. You can’t even use them- they’re “only for classes”. Then there’s the “Personal Training Studio” again, not really for use unless your paying EXTRA- or your a personal trainer. Sorry, but how does it make sense that the members are the ones paying for the memberships, supplying the funds for upkeep and everything- yet we don’t benefit from it. Everything is a free for all if your a personal trainer there.. otherwise your slumming it. In conclusion, this gym is extremely overpriced.. everything about it has been made out to be some exclusive, high end club and it’s the furthest thing from it. If your considering joining, take your time and shop around the area. Fit4Less is much less expensive, better rates and all new clean equipment.

Sean Arani

I visited the gym during a short stay in Guelph. Had a tour with a Katie. She took the time to explain everything clearly and I found the gym clean and pretty good overall.

Vee Gee

Love this gym. Clean with great staff and trainers, they make sure all members are welcomed and acknowledged. I have an amazing experience with Liliana for more than a year now. She’s dedicated and pushes me to improve my exercises, always smiling and committed to my goals. Thanks to her, I always leave Movati happy!

Amanda Volpato

Beautiful gym, good equipments, a lot of options and not too expensive!

Joey Dietrich

Extremly rude staff. Preppy gym, waste of money.
