Reviews of The Westin Ottawa Health Club (Gym)

Cathy Arndt

Just what I needed after a few busy days in Ottawa!!! Relaxing, professional massage. Staff are awesome!! I'll be back.....????????????????????????

Charles Nadeau

Wonderful gym, convenient location, plenty of (new) LifeFitness treadmills and ellipticals, as well as Peloton bikes. The saltwater pool is great and very quiet during weekdays - a nice way to end your workout. The perspective from the main gym is amazing with panoramic views overlooking the National Art Centre, the Parliament buildings and the French Gothic architecture of the Chateau Laurier. The Health Club Manager, Carrie Brown, is always available to help and promptly responds to any questions, suggestions and requests for advice. I highly recommend.

Michelle is really great. I always wait to book with her.

Lily Rose

Great spot for a massage as you can use their fitness facility before and after your appointment.

Carl Cencig

I love the experience at this health club. The staff is friendly and very relatable. its very casual, but also quite professional. The services are excellent!

Ross Tavel

Love the facility! This is a hidden gem in Ottawa. In addition the masseuse was fantastic. She made me feel comfortable, asked lots of questions and did a really good job. I felt like a million bucks afterwards. Highly recommended!

Carol Bujeau

Who would think that working out could be such a pleasant experience? I love the Westin Health Club, with its stunning view of Parliament and the Chateau Laurier, and the silky warmth of its saltwater pool. Bliss!

The Westin is my favourite gym in Ottawa. They have brand new cardio equipment with Netflix built in, a couple Peleton bikes for spinners and roadies who hate winter, and above all else amazing towel service. It's an enlightening experience.

Marjorie Boies

I love being a member of the Westin Health Club. They have all the equipment one could wish for for a good weight or cardio workout session including a pool, hot tub and saunas. I like the new Peloton bikes! It is big and doesn’t feel crowded. The view is also quite nice!

Roger Langevin

Great massage therapy session.

Igor Kanshyn

It is probably the best hotel health club in Ottawa. The swimming pool is great, guy is perfect, sauna is the best in Ottawa for sure. They also have massage therapists.

Danielle Takacs

Great relaxing afternoon at the spa. Warm pool and large hot tub.

Charles Tam

I have a rule called n-1 (n-minus-1), for every day away from home when travelling, I must work out each night minus a day. The gym facilities at the Westin Ottawa are professional grade, large workout spaces, comfortable temperature, clean, generally low traffic as well. Excellent place to stay fit even if one's food choices while travelling are not the best.

Isabelle Mayrand

This is the best health club located downtown Ottawa. It is convenient in many aspects: - open 24 hours, towels are included, lockers, hair dryer, sauna, etc. It is never overcrowded. The new treadmills are certainly a great asset! Running looking out on Downtown Ottawa is quite an almost daily peaceful experience.

Nancy Bryans

It experienced a relaxing and soothing massage with just the right pressure of touch to sore muscles. Thank you.

Marco Cupido

Rooms were fair. Lobby was slightly outdated. The hotel could use some updating. Good location

Den Jack

My first experience with a Personal Trainer has far exceeded expectations. Referred by two existing happy clients was very worthwhile. Well laid out plans, professional instruction and follow-up has made exercise fun. The facilities are up to date and very clean. Well done.

Benjamin Bomberg

I come here fairly frequently for massages, and have nothing bad to say! The team here is excellent, the prices are quite reasonable, and the ability to relax in the pool/hot tub/sauna before and after one's massage is quite pleasant. I highly recommend coming here for a massage, or any other needs. (I am aware there is a fitness center but have never used it, although it seems quite well equipped).

Jocelyn Robert

When anyone is looking to join a gym there are always a series of steps they take; 1) Location 2) Equipment 3) Variety of services i.e. massages, private training, various activities like squash, basketball, pool, 4) Locker room, showers, towels and hours of operations etc. etc 5) Value for money 6) Management is the icing on the facility. In all cases the Westin club is superior to anyone else in Ottawa

Chris Moraes

I see Nicole every time I visit Ottawa. She is an amazing RMT who combines a number of techniques to make me feel great. Nicole can often find trouble spots that I cannot and I always leave my massage feeling noticeably better. I highly recommend her to anyone in the Ottawa area.

L Josh

Love the gym and massage. For massage ask for Michelle Maroes, you won't be disappointed, she is a great massage therapist my back and shoulders always feel better because of her massage.

Phil s

Didn't try the machines but enjoyed the pool. Pool had some minor damage and the hitting was drained due to covid... But pool was nice. I think it was salt water.

Carla De Ciccio

Going to the Westin health club is like being able to go on a mini vacation multiple times a week. The fact that you can work out on top of the line equipment like the new Peloton bikes, but also enjoy the pool, sauna, hot tub, and just relax with a book by the deck is what makes it ultra special. The best part? They have towel service so you don't need to carry around a wet towel in your bag all day. Love this place.

Kerri Robins

My daughter and I each had a massage. I asked for a relaxation massage but received nothing more than a gentle rub. There was no light kneading into my muscles at all. My daughter is a rugby player and asked for a full body therapeutic massage. All she received was an upper body light kneading that did nothing for her sore muscles. Her lower body was ignored. We were both disappointed, and while the RMTs were courteous and professional, the massage was sub-par. It’s a disgrace to have to pay for a bad massage.

Joe Keith

I have been seeing Michelle Moraes for massage therapy. She has been very professional and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend her.

Maria Ash

Experienced and professional RMTs. Would definitely recommend! Michelle Morales was amazing.

Gilda Ciamprone

Very good massage services. I have never ever been disappointed once. All of the R.M. T's are excellent! Great to soak in the hot tub before and/after treatment. Thanks to R.M.T Jennifer for an awesome massage!

Manjula Fernando

I have been visiting the westin health club for years and have no complaints. Very professional and amazing service.

Nicole Settimi

I really liked the neck techniques that Wanrapa used, she made me feel relaxed and I don't feel any tension or soreness today.

Martyn B

Not very good for weights but okay for cardio. Relatively new cardio equipment but not a varied selection

Melissa Cohen

The westin health club is a fantastic place to get massages. I looked around Ottawa for a while before I found this place. They allow 15 minutes before your massage in order for you to get ready, use the washroom etc, so that you’re not rushed. Ive has massages with Michelle, Nicole and Elke, depending on what time I book, and are all very talented massage therapists. The facilities are also awesome.. they have a nice pool & very relaxing jacuzzi. And the gym is great. Would highly recommend! Have been for my birthday and other special occasions, when me and the boyfriend want to relax on a day off.

Jason Ayer

This was awesome, so much better than expected I'd recommend this to my friends!

Sheila Mendonca

I have been going happily to the Westin Health Club for many years. The club management and the size of the club create an atmosphere that is welcoming, encouraging and knowledgeable about personal fitness. Carrie Brown is an excellent, experienced trainer. She motivates and inspires me and is flexible and adaptable when personal circumstances indicate the need to modify my program.

DOUGLAS WARD

Wanrapa (Kung) is a marvelous therapist! I experienced another wonderful massage by her yesterday. I hope she stays at the Westin Ottawa forever!

Denise Eisner

Very professional therapeutic massage in relaxing, spa-like environment. I rely on their services for sports-related injuries or when I just need a bit of destressing.

Albert Lee

Average gym

Bahaeddine Maaroufi

beautiful place to train, simply magnificent...

David Frere

Been a client for years. Carrie is the best trainer ever. She's knowledgeable, considerate, has a great personality and works you hard. She even has fun alternate names for the exercises. Hilarious! Couldn't be happier.

Eric Marques

Great Massage, registered RMT and you can use the facilities before or after

shaun jaberolansar

Wanrapa is a great massage therapist. The sauna and gym are a great plus after a massage.

Jerry Grey

Nicolle is an excellent masseuse. She is knowlegeable and considerate.

Jacquelyn Page

Used the gym 4 times during my stay. It is better than most hotel gyms, but could use some more barbells. I also had a massage by Nicole, RMT, which was awesome. I loved that this service was offered in a hotel gym.

Robert Sampson

I've been enjoying the Westin gym for years now. I'm a big fan of the hot tub and sauna. They are the perfect reward after a workout. The peloton bikes are addictive and the new equipment is excellent. One of the best things about the gym is the location. The Rideau Centre is hub for Ottawa and Gatineau buses adn the LRT. I get off the bus from work, workout, think about what I need for dinner on the treadmill, get what I need from the supermarket in the basement and then catch my bus home. Perfect.

Joshua Mathias

Love the salt water spa.

Chris Baidoun

I originally started going to the executive fitness leaders for massage to take advantage of the gym facility. That was 4 years ago and though the gym facility is an added bonus, the trained and educated massage therapists are exceptional. I've seen Michelle Moraes a few times now and couldn't be happier.

Joanne Jordan

While most of the health club is still closed due to COVID, the massage therapy is open. The whole experience was wonderful, friendly and professional from online booking to the end of the massage - I felt valued, my muscle pain was addressed and I re-booked again already - Well done Serah!

Zulfiqar Shah

Westin Hotel is simply the Best, Pet friendly and simply amazing Staff and facilities.

Léa Saliba

I have a Westin health club membership that I use weekly during my work breaks. The gym is convenient, clean and the brand new workout equipment is perfect! The hot tub and sauna are also great. Highly recommend this membership!

Sherry McPhail

Lovely place to work out overlooking the best of the Ottawa skyline, and a really good massage by Lisa at the Massage Therapy Centre.

Rick Kovacs

Friendly, competent staff who take the time to ease aches and pains.

Fiona Serez

Michelle Moraes is the best Massage therapist I've ever come across! Will always recommend

Garth Cookshaw

Thanks for the great massage! My back feels much better.

Greg Anderson

Cant say enough about the set up and facilities offered at the westin. Pool was perfect for running some laps or bouncing around with kids. The exercise room was clean and the equipment was excellent. Very cool view of the city when running on treadmills. Access also to squash courts and a basketball court. Nice change rooms and fresh towels. Well done Westin.

Shannon Sethuram

Clean, professional, relaxing and the best massage services with outstanding massage therapists.

Andrew Epoo

I have herniated discs pinching nerves in my neck and lower back. I normally take nabilone for pain managment and alternating cortisone shots. I attened a confrnce for a week when I had forgotted my meds. A quick massage during lunch was able to get me back on my fee for the rest of the week. The worker was very knowlagable.

Laura Pothier

Another amazing experience! Never dissapoints. Will continue to reccomend

Steve Blake

Highly recommend the massage therapy at the Westin! My latest session with Lisa L. was extremely therapeutic and her professionalism and competence were exceptional. My previous RMT at the Westin, Elke, is also highly professional and her treatments were very effective over the years I was seeing her. I look forward to continuing treatment with Lisa and again I highly recommend this facility, not only for massage but also as a health and fitness facility.

Carly F

great massage by wonderful staff! I also love that there is complementary use of the pool/hot tub included in the price of the massage.

Pascal

Great massage and very relaxing place. Would definitely recommend it!

Selena Karkash

I always book with Nicole for my massages. She is absolutely amazing and can find the source of any physical pain I've been feeling even if it seems unrelated. I leave feeling so great and I would never go see anyone else!

Iryna Pryhara

Michelle is an excellent massage therapist!

Martha Lipinski

Both my daughter and I had massages that were excellent. We felt Aromatherapy should be included in the massage. Bring your own sandals or slippers. The sauna after is wonderful. Quiet , clean and comfortable.

Anisa Ali Senussi

Nicole is an amazing therapist and I always leave feeling relaxed and rejuvenated . Highly recommend her services

Hotel is nice and the location is awesome. Pool facilities need some renovations.

Jose is one of the best! Very attentive and responsive to the issues.

Bridget O'Grady

Michelle provided excellent service and was extremely accommodating and professional. A wonderful experience and service.

Levi Ishulutaq

It was soothing I think I feel asleep but I regret about the time slot I went for as I didn't know what to expect from the massager
