Reviews of OPTIMIIIZE Fitness (Gym)

Jaffer Yoga

Nothing better than feeling Optimiiized :) workouts are the perfect balance. Left feeling accomplished and energized. Scott is a great trainer, super knowledgeable and love the small group environment he provides. Everything is set up for you including your weights. All you have to do is show up! Convenient, efficient and fun. Can’t wait to go back! Maybe expand cross country? ????????‍♂️ could use something like this in Toronto ????

Every single workout at Optimiiize leaves me feeling strong & revitalized. Also, I'm getting wicked personal training with a fun, upbeat team at a fraction of the cost. You can't find any better value for personal training in Kelowna! Scott and his team are attentive, genuine, considerate, and want nothing more than for you to crush your goals. I'm so stoked to have this gym and the workouts they create for me in my life!! Thank you Optimiiize!

Amanda Price

What I love about Optimiiize is that the trainers are familiar with my training preferences, thresholds, and injuries. It is really convenient to find a time to train that works with your schedule. Even when I haven't been around for awhile, I always feel welcomed back and Scott remembers what has been going on in my life.

Just adding on to the five star reviews with a little description on how optimize works. Tl;dr this place is clean and perfect for anyone who wants personal training at fitness club prices. At your first visit, Scott tests your mobility to see where you are at and what can be improved. He gets your full history on injuries and such. After that a customized plan is made depending on your goals and abilities that you work on each class. Classes are a maximum of 3 people for each trainer. Both trainers I've had (Scott and kip) are incredibly personable, they really do want you to succeed. They have the knowledge and attention to make sure you're doing the exercise correctly. Worried about some swoll dude pushing you to the point of tears? Worry not, these two are here to help you at whatever level you're at, and they are looking to teach you how to do things right, even if it takes a number of tries. The facilities themselves are extremely clean and tidy, with free lockers for your belongings and a station to refill your water bottles. Price wise, it sits somewhere between a work out class at a similarly nice gym and personal training. If you are into things like kombucha or protein powder, you should know that membership comes with a discount on these items, and I understand that soon enough a fun little loyalty program will be giving some of these things out free as a bonus. If you're in the market for a new gym, optimize deserves your attention.

I've been working with Scott and Kip at Optimiiize for a few months now to improve my general fitness and also to help rehabilitate an old back injury. The team are knowledgeable, friendly and I feel confident in spite of my injury that they won't ask me to (or let me!) do anything that would aggravate or worsen the injury. Massage services have also been helpful for times when my injury has been giving me trouble. Thanks to Scott and the rest of the team at Optimiiize!

Optimiiize, the team and the equipment are the best in town. Forget about horrible gym environment, pretentious and loud. Optimiiize is quiet, people is there for the right reasons. There is max 4 ppl in the gym at the time so it’s quiet. Personalized training and the experience of the coaches is evident and such a a plus...without the high price tag of 1on1 training.

I can't say enough good things about Optimiiize! Everyone there is amazing, friendly, and supportive. The trainers are knowledgeable and motivating. I'm always corrected when i'm doing something wrong and doing things the right way is a clear priority. The gym is so clean, and all of the equipment is in good condition. They also follow Covid guidelines properly so I feel safe working out. I can't believe the value offered by Optimiiize - I tell everyone I know about them. The best part is never having to think about what I need to do at the gym, my workouts are programmed for me. I just need to show up! I'll probably never go to a normal gym again!!! Do the trial, you won't be disappointed!

If you are someone who would like some accountability to keep you on track with your fitness look no further! Scott and his team operate a judgment free personal training gym in the District Mall that will cater to your needs. I worked out there several times and have only had the greatest experience. Scott is creative in his approach and ensures you are doing the exercises correctly and is always happy to help. Even if you have never touched a weight before in your life you can be assured you are in great hands. The facility is sleek, clean, and very comfy. The pricing is super reasonable and I would recommend Optimiiize to anyone looking to get in shape but unsure how to start. Give it a try, you have nothing to lose!

Tracy Johnson

I highly recommend Optimiiize Kelowna! Working out there has been an awesome experience that has been even better than I anticipated. I was very impressed with the initial assessment, where I met privately with Scott. We discussed my goals and concerns and he assessed my initial fitness and limitations. Scott set me up with a personalized program, and by the end of my intro offer I was hooked! I was looking for a kind and unintimidating atmosphere, while receiving educated, positive direction and encouragement to push myself, and Optimiiize has been fantastic for that. I am feeling great, and enjoying my journey to steadily improving body and mental fitness. The facility itself is fantastic. You are never in a session with more than two other people, in your own fully equipped work station, doing your own personalized, tailored program, with a personal trainer supervising. They have a full array of clean, current and well-maintained equipment, a very cool InBody Body Composition Analyzer, a nutrition platform that you can tap into and an app to use to book your sessions. The place is inviting and sparkling clean, has upbeat music, and is just very comfortable and inviting. I am so happy I found this gem, I have never been happier to be going to the gym and now look forward to working out

As a super busy entrepreneur, the less I have to think about planning out my workouts, the better. I love that I can just come to my session and not have to think - just exercise. AND my workouts are customized for me. I also love that the space is beautiful and the staff are exceptionally friendly. It's a fantastic option for personal training, but without the crazy high price.

Christina Muller

Hands-down the best decision I have made for my physical & mental health. The team at Optimiiize are so kind, courteous & helpful, which made getting into a new routine so much more approachable. If you’re reading these reviews & debating signing up for the intro offer - do it now. Seriously. It’ll be the best thing you’ve done all week. I love that I get a personalized workout plan specific to my fitness goals. I would always dread “workout day” because I didn’t have the motivation or really see results, but these sessions always fly by & within a month I already started to see noticeable results. Scott will keep you laughing the entire workout, while pushing you to do your best. Plus, you will instantly be in a better mood when you walk in the doors to see the ever-smiling Chantal & her adorable pup Mocha.

I have been a member at Optimiiize Kelowna for the past 2 months and can't emphasize enough how much I've enjoyed the training sessions! The semi-personal training format ensures you are executing movements properly, while at the same time improving your mobility. Plus, you're not breaking the bank; classes are reasonably priced for the high level of expertise and attention you get to meet your fitness goals. The trainers (Scott and Chelsey) are amazing - knowledgable, friendly, and they definitely motivate you to push yourself to excel. They listen to your goals and build the program(s) to fit. If you are looking for a tailored training program that has variety (e.g. weights, kettlebells, TRX, bands, and more), this is the gym for you. As you may have guessed, I would HIGHLY recommend you check out Optimiiize Kelowna to meet the team and experience a personal training session with Scott or Chelsey! Enjoy! :))

Allison Swanson

I absolutely love this place! The trainers are incredible - not only do they build a program suited to your goals and needs, but they really help you get there. They're so knowledgable and always make proper form a top priority. It was amazing to see such quick progression in my strength and mobility. I love how the program changes every 4 weeks so you're constantly challenging your body and improving with each workout! My partner, who's never been a "gym guy" was VERY reluctant to try this out with me but after a couple sessions, he was all about it! As much as I love it for myself, it's great to get some fitness in with your partner. You're side by side but working on your individual programs! It's just the best. Go see Scott and his team! You won't be disappointed!

Allan Dieckmann

I have been working out at Optimiiize since they opened. I have never had such a good gym experience. The team's attention to my mobility and strength issues has made all the difference in my ability to increase my performance physically.

Colleen Becker

Fabulous training facility! Scott is so good at managing his clients needs. The programs are designed on an individual basis , taking into account prior injuries or any concerns you have. There is an incentive to show up for your workouts. You feel the individualized attention here! The office manager, Chantal is so friendly and always there for any questions or concerns. There is a dietician available for advice (with great recipes posted) and a massage therapist.

Erika Dowell

I just visited Scott for a RMT treatment after having a sore back from moving. Scott was professional and supportive throughout the whole treatment. It was nice to go in as a new patient and he made me feel like I had been seeing him for treatments for years. Definitely recommend!

Rose Sexsmith

I started at Optimize right after they opened. I love it there. I’d recommend Optimize 100%. Scott is awesome, kind, knowledgeable and I’m so grateful that he opened Optimize I Kelowna. I’m turning 70 soon, I just got my 50 yr old son going and I’m hoping my 24 yr old grandson will join us. Optimize is for all ages

The team at OPTIMIIIZE is a delight to work with and I look forward to each and every session! From the welcoming “hello!” through the thoughtful combination of a multi-service gym that promotes success by design, Scott and the team have aimed to remove roadblocks and barriers to help everyone reach their health and fitness goals. From fully stocked stations in the gym, a comprehensive app to help you plan your next session or appointment, to the small-group format, and driven team who celebrate your successes with you, I highly recommend stopping by to discover this gem downtown!

Storyline

The workout space has an upbeat, positive vibe, the equipment is high quality, all organized by personal stations and its light, airy and clean. Scott has the academic background at a masters level, experience not only in personal training but also as a Registered Massage Therapist. I have a bachelors in Kinesiology, and as a former national team rower, age group national triathlon team member, I have been through plenty of workouts, trainers and programs as well as been a trainer myself. I find Scott’s approach to be high quality, professionally structured, and highly effective. I finally have stability in my shoulders and a nagging rotator cuff injury is no longer painful. Thanks Scott!!!

I have been going to Optimiiize for almost 4 months now, and I have never felt better! Scott and Jane are excellent personal trainers who motivate you to push yourself while making sure your form is on point. You are also given several workouts through personal training, which you can do on your own time at the gym as well. I feel so much stronger both physically and mentally, and you can't beat the price. I truly have never enjoyed working out in a gym but now I finally do. Thank you Optimiiize!

Jordin H

I always enjoy my workouts with Scott. His facility is always clean and tidy with excellent equipment. Scott is a very knowledgeable guy and I wouldn’t recommend going anywhere else for personal training, or for massage therapy as well!

Ammi

OPTIMIIIZE is a Game Changer!! There is nothing quite like how they "mocha" you feel :D Scott and team always push me to try my hardest and are there to cheer me on the whole time. I love the format of this personal training gym and I fully intend to be a long time customer!

Ryan Fisher

Scott and his staff are awesome. Super friendly and clean environment. Love the personalized workouts.

Madeleine Dupuis

I absolutely LOVE this place. Since joining Optimiiize last November, I've always felt that Scott and his team cared about me, my journey and my goals. He makes a customized program for me based on my goals, initial assessment and In-body assessment. These programs change every 3-4 weeks for me (based on how many times I go per week) to keep the workouts fun, challenging and keeping me in line with my goals. Scott is also very aware and knowledgeable about supporting me and tailoring exercises to accommodate an ankle injury that I have. In the small group settings, It has become very obvious to me that Scott cares about all of his members but also his community - he has made it apart of his brand to support and team up with other local businesses (Go check out their Instagram page @optimiiize.kelowna). So happy to be apart of this community!

I was recommended to come here by a friend and I am so happy I did! I love the atmosphere and trainers. They are very knowledgeable and really pay attention to you. The space is clean and well laid out. I also love that the classes are small so they can help you more one on one. I highly recommend checking it out!

Denise S

I have been really impressed with the level of expertise and training I have received. The small group personal training gives the advantage of having a trainer but at a lesser price. The trainers are pleasant and pay attention to detail.

Oscar Duran

A must try for anyone looking or a hybrid between personal training and fitness classes. Things I like about this place: - you share a personal trainer between a small group, so you get a lot of personal attention per class and helps keep costs down. - everyone follows their own individual workout based on their goals. - your own workout station, so no need to fight over equipment anymore ????. (this is probably the best part) I really like the concept of working out as a group but still following my own program based on my goals. As a triathlete, I want to put a lot of focus on my strength training but personal training is too expensive. Optimiiize Fitness is a great place were I’m confident I will get results.

Juan Rincon

I have been going to Optimize for 4 months and gotten great results! The set up is great to make the most of your time at the GYM since you don't have to share equipment. The personal training is probably one of the most affordable in the city and the environment is super welcoming. Highly recommend checking out Scott and his team.

Ophelia Snow

It’s taken me 2 years to write a review about Optimiiize gym, and I genuinely feel bad because it’s such an awesome place! Optimiiize has been a regular part of my life since I moved here, and has done so much to help me achieve my fitness goals. I look forward to my workouts now because they’ve been specifically geared towards me; and this comes from a person who dreaded the gym. Dreaded!! The introductory offer of $40/4 personalized sessions drew me in and I was hooked! It’s a small place that just operates differently. The set-up is to provide you with the personal trainer experience without having to pay for it. Beyond & above anything tho, and what truly sets this place apart is Scott; the owner and head trainer. He will feel like your friend from the first interaction you have with him; kind, genuine and so so knowledgeable of his craft! Him and his team really make you want to show up and do the work. And once you do, the results are quick and evident. At least they were for me :) Optimiiize is a notch above; you should definitely give it a try!

Rachel B

Optimiize Kelowna is an inclusive, challenging and fun environment. I worked out here for 3 months before moving and I really enjoyed my time. Thank you so much to the Optimiize trainers and staff for making me feel so welcome.

Kristian de Pont

Great space and even better trainers! Optimiiize is the Cadillac of health and fitness.

J Dreyer

Love this gym! I have been coming in for about three months and am noticing a difference already. Scott and Chelsey are amazing trainers :)

Caroline Bye

Scott and his team offer personalized training in a small group environment. There to show you how to do an exercise on your program and make corrections when you're in the wrong position. Also can modifications on the fly when needed. Super helpful. If you're looking for that one on one support, this is the place.
