Reviews of Fitness FX (Gym)

G Fancy

The best members and atmosphere in the city!

Kurt Streit

Unlike in the corporate gyms (Goodlife), you can actually TALK with people in this friendly gym. Nice people all around and good trainers.

Mohammed AlMukhtar

Place is always clean, staff is friendly and they would always greet you when you come in. Classes variety and timings are great. Not a member as of now but planning to go back in the summer.

TheDoctorIsIn

The best gym in the city if you really need to get your real lift on. No posing, no pretension, just the iron game.

Den Oh

resonable

Great gym, super friendly staff at a super affordable price. For as long as I live in this city, I will have a Fitness FX membership.

julien foss

Awesome atmosphere, staff are welcoming and there is a great variety of equipment

Robert Parsons

Excellent and well used gym that won't pester you. Large amount of equipment (cardio, freeweights, machines, classes and personal trainers. Locker room has showers and a sauna. The staff is great and the patrons even better. Memberships are available as a prepay or monthly and run around $40 a month for a 6 month membership (student deals available). Simply a good gym

I'm not biased, i swear ;)

Paul Holmes

Love this gym! Sean and staff are friendly and helpful. Thanks for giving back to the community Sean!

Matthew Ward

Local no frills gym. Has everything you generally need, friendly gym-smart (ie. Good gym etiquette) members, and typically isn't too busy.

Frank Schmidt

Great atmosphere and all the equipment you could dream of. The owner/management truly cares about the gym from everything I have seen.

Liesl Harewood

The spin/TRX class on Saturday morning is a great way to kick start the weekend. I love that I can buy a 10 class pumch card...very economically priced...to use this gym. I pay for use of the gym and not a membership that I dont use!

Maxwell Payne

Great place for a workout!

Jacked__Josh

Love this gym one of my favorite gyms in the city really hard core old school style setup. if you want to lift heavy this is the place to go.

Nick Woodman

Best bang for your buck in the city when it comes to membership prices. The staff are great too. The owner Sean is super passionate about what he does.

Dave F

Enjoyed every session there. It's the type of gym that supplies lifting chalk.

Carol Dauphinee

I found this gym to be very dirty with older equipment jammed together. An inconsiderate person left the treadmill running and not noticing this, I stepped on it and needless to say went airborne, ripping my pants and hurting my knee and shoulder. Staff didn't even acknowledge. A dangerous place, stay away. The young girl at the desk was made aware of my experience and she offered me a free pass for the next day. I told her I wouldn't be back. I was told by a patron at the gym that people leave the treadmills running and how frustrating it is. Maybe your staff should be assessing more frequently.

Gena Crossman

A basic gym that could use a facelift, but does the trick. Everything you need for an affordable price. The fitness classes are excellent here, and the staff are very friendly and helpful.

Joshua Counsil

This place has always been special. And they've done a fantastic job with reopening post-quarantine. Everything is remodeled and looks great. Weights are organized. Sanitizing and cleanliness practices are tight. Well done.

Ila

I went to a Kettlebell HITT class with Lori as the instructor. I was extremely intimidated as I'd never used kettlebells before. Lori went above and beyond to give me thorough instruction and gave great positive reinforcement! From this expereince alone I would reccomend Fitness FX and can't wait to try more of their classes - if Lori is any indication of instructors, it's a great place to be.

Jana Forgrave

Needs updating. Has a musty smell about it.

Emanuel Serra

Great management, interesting classes, lots of options to mix it up.

Natasha Morrison

Best gym in Halifax in my opinion. Super friendly staff, all the equipment and facilities you could ever need. Would highly recommend.

Don

My doctor, Greg "Mutant" Doucette, prescribed me this gym. Thanks doc, I'm now able to DL 500 pounds with no belt or straps.

William Schwab

Old school no frills gym. ????

Shane Fewkes

Fitness FX is an incredible gym. Their equipment, although older, is in good working order, clean, and very wide-ranging in variety. Seriously, this place has a TON of equipment and options for newbies and those more experienced. Busiest times seem to be from 2pm to 7pm, and even then, I've been in way busier gyms. The owner Shawn is the best gym owner I have ever encountered (and I've been employed by a few). Good for all shapes and sizes, minor supplements and lifting gear available, and great hours!

Leny Fernandez

This place is rad!! The gym has it all, it has a classic gym vibe which was super cool and it has 4 different rooms for classes. They even have a kickboxing room which was exactly what I was looking for and the staff there is extra nice (Canadians and more specifically Nova Scotians are the best). Ask for the gym tour if you're a first timer, trust me.. you will enjoy it!! Best gym in town

Jack Luke

This is the best gym in Halifax! There is a nice mix of old and new equipment from machines to free weights and cardio machines on the main floor. In the basement FX has a power lifting section, cardio room, boxing area, and cycling room. I would definitely recommend this gym to anyone who is looking to push themselves and feel comfortable in a welcoming environment!

Destroying The Limits Apparel

Hands down best gym in the HRM

J B

Great gym for price. Has everything you need for most intermediate programs. Kind and knowledgable staff. Some equipment is dated in comparison to big chains but true lifters will feel at home. :)

Darko Stasevic

Best gym in the city! Knowledgeable staff! All the members are very nice and will go out of there way to help you. Gets busy at times but never too busy to complete a workout. Sean (the owner) and his staff are all amazing people. Definitely check out Fitness FX!

Georgia Kalaitzoglou

I love this place!!they guys it's so friendly!!!enjoy to go there!!!

Ann Noddin

Very friendly

MarKo Hubert

People are kind to fat guys like me. No one diminish the effort one does. Very different from the big branded gyms.

Andrés Mauricio Machetá Mendivelso

Good service customer and the machines are clean and work properly.

Jan MacDonald

Working outside

Olivia Thorne-Sparks

Good atmosphere in the classes. Great instructors.

Andrew Leonard

fitness fx is the place to work out, staff are friendly and they have a wide range of weights and equipment.

Anton Dounts

The price is great, the staff is very friendly, and the gym is fully stocked. Overall, if you exclude the grimy locker rooms, this is an affordable no frills option that lets you do everything you need to do.

Richard Berrigan

Friendly staff, a huge range of equipment and their COVID measures are spot on.

Karl Nordin

I started working out at this location in 1984,it was called World Gym at the time. I continued to workout here on and off right up to today. In all my years not one owner has done or cared as much about this place as Sean does. He puts his heart into it,always awesome to deal with and has great staff too, willing to help when needed. I would highly recommend this place for getting some great workouts in a friendly environment.

Jessica Gosse (Jess)

Affordable, great atmosphere and you really can work out without feeling intimidated or that you "don't belong". Friendly staff and clients! I wished more gyms were like Fitness FX

Andy Lilly

This is the kind of gym all gyms should aspire to be. It's a little rough around the edges, but it has all the equipment you could ever need, and both the staff and the gym regulars are extremely friendly and helpful.

Alexander Kulakevich

As they reopened after Covid they said on the phone they are allowing day passes. Arrived there and they were forcing me to get get 6 or 12 month membership. Inform your workers and stop being greedy.

Eleanor Power

An older gym very well managed- great fitness classes

Emily White

This gym is great if you live around Quinpool because it's easy to get in and open for most hours of the day. The downside is that it smells really bad, the machines are run down, and it's really catered to a more experienced gym goer. As a shorter women, I had a hard time reaching some of the machines and getting weights on them. Also, there was always a machine broken such as an elliptical so often times you would have to wait.

Jennifer Fougère

Best gym in HRM!

Frank Johnson

Feel the burn

Nigel P. Jenkins

Best gym in Halifax!

Corey Kinsman

Been a member since 2003.

Jeremy Rintoul

Nice place to work out, a little on the warm side.

Micheal Green

One of the best gyms in Halifax

Egil Alexander Karlsen

Great gym, they've done a great job transitioning to the new normal of Coronavirus.

Dave Keeping

There are pretty looking gyms, but you won’t find one with better value. Lots of top notch equipment, friendly staff and classes aren’t extra.

caleb browett

just as the website says " the workout you need, for the price you deserve" no false advertising here.

Wade Smith

Best gym in metro Halifax

Ben Hillard

I attended the Kickbox Power Hour on June 1st whilst passing through town & loved it! Having been involved with martial arts for the past 20yrs it was immediately obvious that Sonny is the genuine article as far as instructors go, & everyone in the class were very welcoming. If I ever find myself in Halifax again I'll be sure to drop in to remind myself how unfit I am! Highly recommended :-)

Mutlu Yilmaz

Gym closes very early. Weekend is earlier. Should close at 11 pm at least. Opening the gym at 5.30am is not feasible for many people. The many people who work full-time can come there between 7-10pm. The availability is a few hours for these people.

Jesse Joyce

Joined the gym for their classes, when I went to them I was thoroughly displeased. The ceilings were covered in thick dust and grime and the instructor would typically cut the classes short because he would rather be doing something else. I was glad I only bought a month long membership from them.

Charles Marques

Best gym in town

Ruth Vandergeest

The hours are great and it never really feels like it is too busy to get what you need to done. There are a range of people from body builders to average trying to be better. I would say try it out once or twice before buying a membership. Those prices can't be beat. And the staff are super friendly and helpful.

Sreejata Chatterjee

Its not that the gym is affordable, and they have tons of great classes and lots of equipment that makes it 5 star. It's the people, the owner and every employee and the instructors are all awesome and make you feel included!

Rough真爱与自由

Professional gym.

Matthew Gullion

Awesome equipment and friendly that always says hi and welcomes you every time you visit. Great equipment, and the boxing room and power lifting room and great inclusions.

Richard Dias

The perfect no frills gym. Plenty of weights and machines and cardio stations. The PTs are great too, or at least mine is. The app to book your spot is super easy too. All in all, a very good gym for the price.

Lisa B

I don’t understand how this place is still in business let’s start with the lady at the reception very rude stuck up not friendly at all we went there just for a day trial and it was a complete waste of time and look very old rundown All the machines we tried to use did not work kind a looked like they found all the machines in a dumpster somewhere would definitely not go back

Tony Rinaldo

Best gym & staff in the city!

Repare Klarswe

I have found this gym to be a disappointment. It is generally unclean and smells bad. Many of the machines aren't plugged in. The only saving point is that it is cheap. If you don't mind these problems, you may still like it.

Jordan MacLeod

Arguably the best gym in the city. Staff is always very friendly and the prices cant be beat, especially with the student deals available. Equipment works great and is plentiful so you will rarely be waiting for anything except perhaps at peak times. There is also a smoothie bar where you can get some delicious post workout drinks. Parking can be found at the McDonalds beside the gym, I have never had a problem finding a spot. Can not recommend this gym enough to someone looking for a new or their first gym.

Joe Cas

Amazing gym and great people!

Dan Hendricken

Started working out here after moving from the South End and really love it. The staff is cool and it is a great spot to work out. Way better price point than Good Life. Not as flashy or as shiny, but the weights are all the same so who cares. Gym goers all seem pretty great as well. Been going for awhile and have had nothing but great interactions. Really glad I switched gyms

Christina LeGay

I have only ever been to the fitness classes there as my friends are trainers and/or take part in the classes. The kickboxing class is one of the best group fitness classes I have ever attended and I've been to group classes in Halifax, Calgary, and Winnipeg. It's an intense cardio workout, with lots of time hitting the bag, body weight exercises, trainers that push you, and great music! The location is small, but it's very convenient to get to and doesn't ever seem to be too jam packed/busy. I highly recommend taking advantage of the fitness classes! There are TRX and kettle bell workouts too!

Danika Wagner

Great atmosphere. Owners are very friendly.

Mack Dack

Went there when I lived in Halifax years ago. Sean and staff are awesome. Clean, professional and had an awesome vibe for serious lifters. The gym is one of my best memories of Halifax.

John Kirk

I have been coming to this gym for the past four years. It has a great community feel to it, with a variety of ages and athletic abilities. The owner (Sean) is a "hands-on" person who really cares about the services offered, and he is supported by some terrific staff. In Covid times I feel very safe there, with excellent measures taken to protect gym-goers. Reasonable rates, older (but well-maintained) equipment, and solid management make this a great place to work out.

peter ghosn

Great classes and great people!
