Great gym, love the atmosphere. The staff are both helpful and knowledgeable. Does a great job at keeping the gym clean. This gym is welcomeing to newcomers and has a great local, and personable vibe. Would highly recommend to people of all fitness levels.

Visiting Goodlife member looking for a good gym for a couple days. Drop in rate was reasonable, smallish floor space but not crammed, machines were clean and well maintained. Jacobs ladder was the best one I have ever used. Stair climbers are older tho. Very happy to have found this gym and would definitely be back.

Jayce D'Arcy

Great gym, great equipment, great staff, all around great place to workout!

Gregory Saunders

Great gym! Staff super friendly, clean, big airy rooms, tons of well maintained equipment, great large windows, separate spinning/stretching room. After traveling the world surprised to get such good quality in a small city.

Jeffrey Alderton

Best gym in the Pen, front desk staff super helpful.

Kenneth V. Moorman

Awesome place to work out!

Paramvinder Sidhu

This gym itself is a motivator ! ????

This the best gym in Penticton. Bob works at the front desk and is the nicest guy I have ever met. A real class act. It is worth going to the gym just to get a chance to talk to Bob.

Shanell Armstrong

Highly recommend!! If you are looking a a great workout experience look no further! Great prices for the experience you will have here with the friendly and knowledgeable staff this is the best gym in Penticton! The management is excellent and the equipment is updated and well maintained.

Raj

Dishonorable business. Be careful! I wanted this to be a positive review, but it isn't. I had a member ship at the gym when the previous owners ran the place. Loved it. But after a car accident I was unable to use the gym for years and lost all the $ I'd spent on the year. Upon returning years later, Ty offered me a discount for another year which I really appreciated. But when I moved away only halfway into my membership they wouldn't refund any of it. So that "great deal" ended up costing me a ton. Be wary. DO NOT pay in advance. The only reason the gym is surviving is because the competition in town isn't great either.

Harish Menon

Very amazing place. Most welcoming Gym and amazing things to work out with. Just a week in to it and you already feel so much of passion to get into a good and healthy lifestyle. Owner and the staff are always helpful.

Troy Mack

Great gym! Clean, friendly staff and good equipment. Best place to work out in Penticton.

Sean Whyte

Penticton's top gym. Wide range and depth of equipment, and staff are both personable and knowledgeable.

Kat Atomic

A great place to start if you are overweight/obese. There are big cardio machines that are newer and have 350+lb weight limits. There is a variety of people working out- young and old, big and small, male and female- which makes it less intimidating. Watch for membership specials that can save you some if you are on a tight budget. Staff is knowledgeable, owner is present often and clearly invests in the quality of the facility. Rooms are bright and well lit. Cross fit equipment available for those who are able to create their own crossfit programs. Large, clean locker room (female, I have not seen the male side) with plenty of lockers. Shower stall and large counter/mirror area for doing hair etc. post workout. Only drawback is the weekend hours, not very accommodating for people who work outside of a typical 9-5 job. The Gym carries a decent supplement line if you require a one stop shop, however, the products are slightly overpriced and comparable products can be found online for cheaper. I cannot compare tanning or drop in classes as I have not invested in those experiences yet. All around, well done and keep up the good work.

Christine Lawrence

Started going here couple of weeks ago. Might not renew, equipment is kind of dirty, not a lot of space around equipment, staff just seem unhappy, and the space needs some AC or more fans. On the other hand, there is lots of variety in equipment, some of the patrons are quite nice, and I do appreciate the cleanliness of the change rooms.

Alene Wong

I really enjoyed going to this gym during my time living in the Okanagan. I honestly miss it now that I'm back to the community gym life in Vancouver. The staff were always super friendly! This gym has a pretty good selection of free weights, weight machines, and cardio machines to choose from depending on what you focus on. On non busy days it's really equipment is usually pretty accessible. I didn't really like the floor plan of the gym. When it gets busy it's hard to find a place to place a mat down and stretch and sometimes. For example when people are using the punching bag in the exercise room or deciding to do walking lunges back and forth the room. Also, it can be frustrating when waiting to use a squat rack as there are no sign up times to use it so people can use them for as long as they like. It can be intimidating to approach some gym users (the really beefy big folk, sorry!) to ask if you can use the rack/machines after them. Pricing is pretty good for the gym if you're a student or if you purchase a month to month membership. Otherwise, drop-ins will burn a hole in your wallet.

Great gym in penticton!!

ted cotter

Great staff great equipment...clean clean clean

Roxy D

I went in because they had a sign out for 5$ Friday’s and they told they were no longer doing that and I had to pay full price for drop in even though the sign was still up which is false advertising...not impressed

Robert Carter

A great place for a work out. The friendly staff make you so welcome

Carolz M

Good selection of equipment ????????

Michael

I've been coming here for years. Fantastic staff, trainers, and good equipment. The hours aren't for everyone, but if they work for you - this is the best place in town to train. They have supplements, tanning, childcare.

Trevor DCFlooringSupplies

Awesome Gym, very friendly people!

Florian P

Staff are knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Very comprehensive gymnasium with attention to details, Saunas, vitamin D lighting, filtered water (includes showers) (the drinking fountain has some of the best tasting water I have ever had). Air purification system in place, competitive rates and a GREAT atmosphere to work out! Also has underground free parking. Very easy to get addicted to working out when you use this place and how cool is that!

Terry Vandament

Trainer's available

Ken Barnes

Excellent range & quality of equipment, friendly staff.

Coltyn Hedlund

Best gym in penticton but something has to be said about the Friday hours. Saturday-Sunday might make sense for early close, but Friday is a weekday and should have weekday hours. Outside of that it's a great gym - really the best gym in the area.

Grey Hearts Denim

Part of our weekly routine, always helpful staff, and great selection of equipment.

Jennifer LaGuardia

Absolutely AWESOME gym!!! This place is my favorite part of being in Penticton, BC! My husband and I love the motivating atmosphere, outstanding equipment and wonderful staff.... Highly recommend this gym for anyone excited about living a healthy lifestyle! 5 stars!

Melanie Evenson

Really nice gym with SUPER friendly staff. Felt very welcomed, would recommend to any local in Penticton or as a drop in for people passing by !

Jesse Hudson

Recent resigned member but came to this facility when it was brand new. Good variety of equipment and lots of space to work out. Good ab area and diverse cardio options. Front counter staff is friendly and manager is very nice. It would have been nice to receive a training session or at least an orientation when I signed up for the year and my review would be 5 stars instead of 4.

Julia McKibbon

Always awesome! Clean, friendly, great staff awesome classes!

Scott Rowlands

If you're looking for a trainer, I would highly recommend Angelo. He started training me and we hit it off. Angelo is a very personable person and you can tell that he loves training and helping people reach their goals and making the client accountable. His system works for me and the proof is that I have dropped 30 pounds and gained way more muscle than I ever thought possible. The physical changes and the mental changes are a testament to Angelo's program and his ability to push me in the right way to push myself to reach my goals. I can't say enough about how grateful I am for meeting Angelo. He is a excellent trainer and now a good friend. Thanks Angelo!

Gerry Del Frari

Lots of equipment - good mix of free weights and machines. A little tight, but there's something for everyone... including the juice bar ????

David Case

Excellent facilities friendly and helpful staff. New equipment.

Flying V Cards & Breaks

Best gym in Penticton!

Teresa Fry

Equipment is good, staff is friendly, clean facility. Music is an issue doesn’t appeal to all audiences.

Yury Rassokhin

Good location. A bit disappointed about working hours on weekends. Cleanliness is ok.

Chris Morisseau

I switched to The Gym Eternal few month ago and I really like it. The staff is friendly, there is a good atmosphere, the place is clean and all the equipment needed is there. A big Bonus: it is very well priced and the location is good too. So I recommend it without any hesitation. Thank you guys for helping me reaching my fitness goals. :)

Tyler70 Wilson

Best gym I've ever been to. Great staff, great equipment, clean, professional, no judgements and people are always willing to help each other.

Aaron Baisarowicz

Gym is ok better equipment than most not enough space. Too much unused cardio equipment. Prices are a little high.

Bobbie Jo Brucker

This gym is owned and run by people with a passion for health,fitness,nutrition but most of all,a passion for people.Equipment is up to date and there are some really fun and challenging pieces,including The Jacob's Ladder.This gym offers personal trainers,classes,tanning,a juice bar,supplements and much more.Child play room on site.Bathrooms,showers,lockers,equipment and general environment is clean.All around great place to achieve your goals!

Chris Reinstead

The thing I love about this gym the most is all the natural light. The staff is friendly, the equipment is great. Its a big gym for a small town.

Coby Gill

The Gym has great space to carry out all aspects of a workout and the equipment is in pretty good shape. I found the staff not very helpful or personable. I was not shown around when I signed on and felt too much ego coming off the experts.

Todd Terry

We always workout while in town . Great atmosphere, amazing trainers and clean.

Jake Keller

Coming from Vancouver I thought I wouldn't find a gym in Penticton that offers everything. This gym does. Excellent equipment, great variety. The staff are friendly.

Matt Bergh

Lovely gym with amazing members and hard working & kind staff. Large variety of high quality equipment. Would recommend this place 100% as the best gym in Penticton :)

Alex M

I just have to start by saying how disgusted I am with the post by "North Duo". You should be ashamed of yourself. I am overwhelmed by the generosity from this gym. During COVID the gym stopped taking my monthly payments from my bank account and paused my membership. When they re-opened I was shocked to learn they actually added time back onto my membership that I missed due to them being closed...for ALL members at no cost to me. In all my life I have rarely seen a business treat its customers with so much thought and compassion. We're all going through tough times and I can only imagine how stressful it has been for small businesses to keep afloat. I would recommend this gym to anyone, not only for being fair, but for being a great place to workout.

Best gym in Penticton...hands down!

Chris Newton

Bob Jones

Nice equipment and very clean

fraser deacon

Clean and organized. ????

James Kooistra

Dirty, lack of maintenance on machines. It basically looks like the owners gave up. Not a good place to workout whatsoever. I was a member here from day 1 of opening and loved the atmosphere when Troy was owner. Every square inch was cleaned everything ran smoothly When the new owners took over things changed and things have taken a dive ever since. Equipment is dirty and so is the facility. I even spoke with the owner in 2016 regarding the state of the facility and he failed to take ownership of the issue and blamed his staff and their new system for the issues I wrote the original review in 2016, and it took the owner 4 years to respond, and their response was “our records show you have never been here”. There is still no accountability in 2020, clearly. PURE fitness in the lakeside is by far the superior fitness facility in Penticton. Friendly staff, great owners, great equipment and spotless workout areas.

Jeff Forrest

Great gym with lots of natural light. Never have to wait for machines

Luke R

One of the best gyms I've ever been too. Friendly staff, huge assortment of high quality free weights and machines, smoothie bar, change rooms with showers

Ty Mack

Award winning Gym. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Gym is clean, great equipment, good personal trainers, and good selection of supplements.

Garth Johnson

The Gym Eternal is great. Its clean, organized, has new equipment and the staff are very friendly. The personal training provided by Tony is the best!

Alice Thomas

Amazing staff, welcoming and friendly:) The sanitizing blower is awesome and makes everyone feel extra safe during these strange times! Soo much great new equipment and is never too busy to get in a good workout.

Alfonzo De la cruz

(Translated) A great atmosphere and great attention, greetings (Original) Un gran ambiente y gran atencion saludos

Taylor T.

Nothing but good things to say about this gym! I always love training here. Tons of good people and great supplement prices!

Larry N

The equipment was dirty, the front staff was friendly but trainers and staff throughout the gym were not. And why are trainers getting their clients to do deadlifts at the squat rig?!?! No! Then tell me to use the smith machine- um no! Also, $12.50 drop in is too expensive for what you get.

Graham Lyle

Great gym. They are always updating the equipment and the staff is awesome. I highly recommend it.

Richelle Caldwell

Great gym. Delicious protein shakes. Some unique machines that really make you sweat! The Helix Lateral Trainer is awesome - works your core, glutes, outter thigh and more awesome machine. Jacobs ladder, ropes, the premium stairmaster to name a few more awesome pieces. Staff are great, knowledgable and friendly. Can be crowded if you come at prime time but that's like any gym really.

Michael Andreychuk

Great equipment and stellar environment...

Tony C.

This is a comparative review with Pure Gym by Lakeside, since those two gyms are the ones I have the most experience with. The Gym is clean enough, but Pure Gym (being newer) is cleaner. The Gym has great hours except for Friday, the weekend, and the holidays. Pure Gym is truly 24/7/365 with the purchase of an all-access key fob. The Gym stuff is knowledgeable, but they are not overly friendly. They can come across as standoffish (the girls less so). Once you get to know them they'll become more friendly. Pure Gym folks are less buff and perhaps even knowledgeable, but they compensate for it by almost throwing you a party when you arrive. What I like better about The Gym is that it's in a central location (closer to my house). A lot of fit people workout here, something that I find to be motivational. Finally, they have more room and equipment available.

Tyron

This gym owner has a complete lack of integrity and does not care to run his business in alignment with his actual views. I spoke with him personally and know for a fact that he does not agree with any of the government mandates relating to masks and vaccines, says he believes in freedom of choice and bodily autonomy, yet chooses to bend over and implement proof of vaccine requirements on members. They feel this is a “personal issue” for the individual and that it’s not a small businesses responsibility to stand against something they do not believe in. Absolutely weak, cowardly and spineless to choose to not use their voice against measures that they know are a very real threat to our freedoms. This will not end well for them.

Chris Cusack

Grubby. Poor choice of machines and equipment. No adherence to covid protocols. I'm not sure if/when they clean this place.

Devin Gee

Great gym, all the equipment you need to get jacked ????????????

Derek Qualtier (DQ)

The GYM is Penticton's most equipped gym for anyone looking to get fit and be healthy. They have many different services including: personal training, a smoothie bar, supplements and advice, and a variety of fitness classes. The GYM provides a great experience with a motivating atmosphere. Whenever I go to The GYM, I am always greeted with great, smiling and helpful staff. Got kids? Bring them! They have an awesome playroom area, which is accessible 7 days per week, with on-site, active supervision during the weekdays. My children are just as excited to go to The GYM as I am. At The GYM Eternal, everyone is welcome; from beginners like me, just figuring things out, to the competitive lifters, looking to fine tune their workouts.

Darren Schwartz

Good workout

Theo Budrow

The Gym eternal ticks all the boxes. Well laid out. Friendly Staff. Well maintained. A huge variety of equipment. The atmosphere is awesome. priced well considering what you get.

Offred Atwood

Been coming here since I moved to Penticton. Best gym I have ever been to. Owner, manager, and other staff are amazing. The place is huge, has all the equipment I need, and is always clean. Thank you for being awesome! ♥️

Rob Herron

Best gym in town.????????

Graham Black

Great gym definitely recommend

Aboodi B

Gym is good with a good equipment variety, BUT with all honesty your friday, saturday, and sunday open time hours are very inconvenient. I basically cant come to the gym on these 3 days because of the inconvenient hours. Would highly appreciate the gym hours on these days to be extended till 11 or 10 pm at night.

Sheila Ducholke

The Gym Eternal is a great place to workout! I have a personal trainer as well as attend the fitness classes included with my membership. All of the staff members /trainers are friendly and professional. I would and have recommended this gym to family and friends!

Cheralynn Breton

great gym friendly knowledgeable plus u can win monthly money on ogologo screen wow thanks

Nicole

I have trained at many gyms and this is one of the best! Great variety of equipment, lots of space, awesome staff and also a great kids’ club! It has a kind community feeling and all the members are super friendly! I never have an issue finding the equipment I need for my workouts. I look forward to my gym time everyday! I would highly recommend :)

Tristan Jacobson

Great atmosphere, great equipment, friendly staff, good pricing lots of parking

Brent Steele

Drop in fee: The Gym: $ 12.60 Penticton Community Centre weight room: $ 6.50 (60+: $ 4.50)

Tarryn F

If you are looking for the best gym in Penticton, you could go around and try them all out but let me save you the time. This is it. This Gym is hands down the most well equipped, and has the best staff and trainers to match. Despite being the obvious choice for serious lifters and athletes, the community here seems to leave all ego at the door which makes it a super welcoming and positive environment to come and better yourself. It's a great mix of young, old, seasoned, and gym newbies. Super awesome gym. Join and you won't regret it. ????

kenny bishop

Incredible variety of machines and supplements. Smooth/shake bar and child care. This place has it all.

Lindsay Castler

I was intimidated initially as its the biggest gym in town. But I quickly felt comfortable here. The gym has lots of different areas to train in. Prices are right on point.

Talon

Best gym in all of penticton and summerland

Juanita Wasienko

Visiting from Calgary, I wish we had this gym at home. very friendly staff, awesome environment. great equipment
