PCTF is awesome! Definitely recommend them if you are looking to increase physical ability, lose weight, or just become more healthy!

Renee Morais

Straightforward..takes the fuss out of doing everything right! After just a few weeks I was stronger and happier than I'd been in a long time. Thankful to have found Port City and the great staff!

Dan Patterson

Very fun fitness family. The instructors are knowledgeable and Owner Vicky B is the absolute best. She takes the time to really care and get to know her clients. Highly recommend! Love going there each and every morning.

This place is more than just a gym, it’s a place where everyone is welcome and you can feel comfortable in your own skin. The people that work there aren’t just staff they are your friends whom care about you and want to help you reach your goals. At Port City you get the whole package, you don’t just work out, you receive one on one help with a personal trainer in small classes, they can help you adapt your exercise due to need and make sure your form is proper so you are doing the work out safely and you get with an easy to follow meal plan. For me I need this, I need someone to keep me on track, to keep me accountable. I starting going to Port City Fitness because I didn’t know where to start, I’ve stayed because they’ve helped me get there and continue to support me.

I took the Port City Fitness 6 week challenge after hearing great things from a friend over the summer, and I'm so happy I did! I'd been trying to get my act together to live a healthier life, eat better, exercise more, but I wasn't getting anywhere on my own. It turns out I needed a little help, and a push to take things seriously, and get and stay motivated. Once I started the challenged I worried the meal plan would be too restrictive or I'd be hungry or crave junk food or I'd be eating bland food - I was wrong on all counts. With guidance and support from Vicky, I've kicked my junk food cravings and actually put the time and effort into eating healthier and staying full longer - no more hangry days! The other side of the challenge are classes at the gym itself. Vicky and her team are so creative and the classes are always great! Challenging sure, but a lot of fun. I really do love it (despite sometimes hating it in the moment - no one ever said working out it easy). The classes are small and you're given personal attention to make sure you've got the right form and appropriate weights. My last two weeks I've had an injury and moves I couldn't do were modified so I could still participate at my level. Vicky and Port City Fitness have helped me kick my butt into living a healthier life. I'm finished the challenge, and happily joined the gym to keep at it. If you've been thinking about making a change to get healthier, I strongly recommend checking out Port City Fitness!

I’ve been a member for about four years and highly recommend this boutique gym and coaching program. It’s like having my own personal trainer, every class. I have tried other gyms and they didn't work for me as my focus is not weight loss, but maintaining strength both physically and mentally as I age. I am pleased with my results due to Vicky’s program and her dedication to helping me with my specific fitness goals. Port city fitness is a fun and welcoming place to workout. It is a worthwhile investment in my physical and mental wellness.

Katie Ellsworth

The best gym I’ve ever been to. A really welcoming environment with great coaches. I’ve never been able to go to a gym on a regular basis before but there coaches are really encouraging and non judgmental! Great gym

Matthew Wallace

Amazing in every way!

Jaclyn Reinhart

I am so happy to be a part of this gym. It's more than a gym it's a community and a family. Every class I have taken has been inspiring and fun because the coaches always make you feel like you belong there and the other members do too. I can't say enough about how perfect I think this place is for anyone who is looking to make a healthy lifestyle and also have continued support from the team always.

ONLY good things to say about this place. Port city training and fitness will help you achieve your fitness goals and change your life for the better. Never have I been a part of something that made me feel like I was part of such a family. everyone encourages everyone, the trainers are down to earth, very real and motivating and help you stay on track even when you've strayed and you're feeling like what's the point? in all aspects. I feel bad for the people who are not a part of this place.

Nicole Renee Fitness

Amazing supportive place !! All trainers are very understanding and hold you accountable

Vanessa Briand

Never thought I'd be happy going to the gym 5 days a week but I am! Thanks to the coaches and other members for making this a highlight of my days! I have much more self confidencd now thanks to Vicky and the team! ????

Rachel Richardson

Fantastic coaches, fantastic atmosphere - wouldn't go anywhere else!

J. Tremblay

I've always wanted to get in better shape, trying to eat healthy, joining a regular gym, but never getting the results I was hoping for... until now. A couple of months ago I saw Port City Training and Fitness' ad on Facebook for a 6 week challenge, and WOW am I ever happy I messaged them! Vicky really knows what she is doing and helped me educate and motivate me! I have been wanting to make this healthy change for a long time now, and she made it all come together with the right nutrition and exercise plan. If you've been wanting to make a change, get in touch with Vicky - you'll be glad you did!! I was never hungry during the challenge, and the group workouts are a lot of fun with Vicky & Amy (first time trying this type of format). I have never pushed myself so hard or sweated so much! It's awesome to be so motivated! Seriously, a good boost to not only your physical but mental health as well!! Don't make excuses and put you and your health first :) (I made this challenge work between 75+ hours/week working nights and many visits to my dad who's in the hospital). I've signed up with Port City to continue my health transformation... I am excited to see the next set of progress pictures!

Stephanie Lord

This is the gym if you want a program and people who care about your progress. Whether it's maintaining, building muscle or loosing weight, Vicky is exceptional in supporting her members.

Amanda Emmerson

Great Gym with Fabulous Trainers!!

Stephanie McGarrigle

A great place to achieve your goals!????????

Janice Betteridge

They hold you accountable, take the time and adjust to your fitness level! I feel not only like I am a Gym Junkie for life!!! but that I gained Friends for life from the staff and the "gym Family". Port City is FAR different from any Gym out there don't wait book a consult today!!!!

Curtis Godin (Google Maps Editor)

This is a great facility to join up with because of the fact that they are training you in real time and keeping of your progress in order to be able to make sure that you are receiving the best possible program that is tailored to your needs and also to ensure that you are continuing to gain the best results possible for you to advance and continue to be able to track your progress. The prices are very fair and well worth the time and effort. They're very professional and very much experienced.

James Overton

Vicky and the team at Port City are extremely knowledgeable and able to focus on the individual while keeping their family atmosphere. They get results and are an excellent value for anyone who wants to invest in themselves. Love this team.

Zac Mcintyre

Great atmosphere. Trainers are excellent, informative and helpful. Great way to start the day! I have been a member for 7 months now and will probably attend for life.

Tish Fulton

Well the results are in after 6 weeks with Port City Training and Fitness Ltd. I have lost 16.5 inches, 19.1lbs, 6.3% body fat... and have gained so much more!! Vicky Buchan and Amy Sheldrick were so welcoming and supportive! In addition to an easy to follow meal plan, grocery & home workout tips, they offered the kick start I needed to get my momentum going. They were able to tailor the workouts to suit my abilities and cheered me on every step of the way. The members at Port City Training and Fitness have also been absolutely Great! Friendly, encouraging and have made every workout session so much fun! So happy to continue with a membership and the journey towards my goals! I have and will continue to recommend these guys to everyone!

Kaylee Gamblin

Definitely a place to go of you want actually results and amazing coaches. I started there in May 2019 and did the infamous "6 weeks challenge". After I was hooked and kept going. With a combined 26 pound weightloss since May, I would 100% make the recommendation for anyone to go.

Trisha Heppell

The staff of Port City Training & Fitness are amazing ! I have never enjoyed going to any gym before I joined here. Definitely worth every cent!

James Buchan

Great staff and clean establishment. When you want results this is the place to go.

Colin Mckay

I go. I sweat, a lot. I get yelled at. I feel better. I love it! They have everything ready to go, and they explain the routines in great detail every single time. If there's something I can't do, they provide an alternative. It's worth it. The small classes are great because you get to know everyone who traditionally attends at the same time, and that usually motivates me, plus we usually have a laugh.. in between tears of pain.... There is always encouragement, from EVERYONE. Port City is fantastic! If you're like me, and it's time to make a change to your health (I was waaay out of where I should have been on the fitness scale, I'm 41), it's never too late..

Katie Rice

I've been going to this gym for 1.5 years and this gym is a great environment, I have also met a lot friends here. The trainers know what they are talking about and help with modifications which has been key as I battle injuries. The class sizes are small which allows for attention to detail in your form. I give them a 5 Star and would suggest anybody visit this gym for a consult

Sandy Lindsay

Best gym evar

Heidi Burnham

Love this place! The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. The classes are small, well run and full of variety. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone!

Alicia Crichton

Whether your just starting out, or looking to challenge yourself, this gym is for you. Small classes allow for a really focused work out. I have never been pushed so hard or felt so good about my workouts! Love port city fitness!!

Pierrette Robichaud

I join Port City Fitness over a year ago and it's the best decision i ever made for myself! Honestly, i got so bored at regular gyms... but this one here is a little gem! The coaches are awesome....the workouts are awesome and super challenging!!! It's a pretty great place. Try it you'll see....you won't regret it.... Pierrette ❤

Alex White

I think five stars kinda says it all, don't you? The trainers are fantastic (even though I give them a bunch of trouble)lol , the support is incredible, and the results are clear!

Kristin Colwell And John Lowe

Ive been a member since last fall and cannot say enough about this gym!!! Amazing gym, fabulous trainers, great workouts!!!

Kristen Taylor

I did the 6 week challenge and it changed my entire perspective on exercise and eating healthy. It was such a great experience and I stayed on at the gym after the challenge because the classes and trainers are amazing! I feel so much healthier and I'm so glad I walked in there. I recommend Port City Training and Fitness to everyone :)

Carol P

I cannot say enough about the quality of both trainers and the gym. The classes are small and personalized, Vicky genuinely cares about the well being of her clients. Its the gym that will ruin all others for you because none compare. Cannot recommend this place enough!

Kristi Stuart

I cannot express how amazing Port City Training and Fitness is; the work outs are incredible, the people are a supportive, delightfully fun and accepting group. Thank you for the wonderful community you have created.

Mary O

I have been a member since they opened almost 3 years ago and have had great results. Very positive environment with trainers that can modify exercises depending on your fitness level or physical limitations. The class sizes are small so you receive lots of individualized training. Great spot!

Laura Williams

Best gym I’ve ever been to by far. Supportive & Caring coaches and fun atmosphere, small class sizes. Love it there!!

KRISTA Dionne

This is such a welcoming and non judgemental environment. It's hard work but the atmosphere is wonderful and it makes going to the gym fun.

Breanna Mazerolle

This gym is the best thing that ever happened to me! I can’t say enough about it. The group class atmosphere is so motivating. The coaches are all amazing and they set you up so you have everything you need to succeed. I’ve been going to the gym for a few years now and I can’t see myself ever going without it!

I lost 7% body fat and 25 pounds in 6 weeks. Here's how. I had been seeing a lot of ads on Facebook and port city fitness was offering a 6 week challenge where you lose 25 pounds or 6% body fat if you do this you get your money back! It sounded too good to be true. The hardest part for me was walking in. I had been essentially working behind a desk for the last 9 months, working long hours and shoving whatever I could into my system to keep fed (even though my wife was packing me healthy lunches supper wasn't always planned). It had been almost 4 years since I've stepped into a gym. I Finally found something that works! After giving crossfit a try I found it too hard on the joints and heavy lifting wasn't getting me into the shape I wanted to be in. I met with Vicky Buchan and she showed me the facility and how they do things at Port city fitness. The first week was rough, but as I slowly got into it things became easier, push ups, chin ups, burpees and squats! Sticking to a designed meal plan was the most challenging as I constantly had to practice restraint while having "fast food fantasies" in my sleep. The healthy eating with the intense workouts gave me the tools to where I wanted to be. I have a 2 year old boy that I want to keep up with and I was tired of having to catch my breath after walking up stairs. I can happily do that and more. This is a game changer for me. I can say with 100% honesty that I am happy I walked through the doors at Port city fitness and training. I want to thank Vicky and Amy for constantly reminding me on my form and putting up with my enthusiasm. Thanks to my wife Cynthia who constantly reminded me of my #offdayworkouts and did almost all of the cooking for me (I tend to improvise when I cook and not the good kind). I will be doing a month to month with port city fitness. The flexibility will really work with my schedule and looking forward to hitting some more goals!

Linnae Olmstead

I joined their Six Week Challenge. Historically, I don't like the gym, but I like this one so much that I joined for a year. The group workouts are structured and guided, so it is like sharing a personal trainer. Alternative moves are provided for those with physical restrictions. There are no machines, it is all free weights, resistance and body weight focused, which makes off day workouts possible without the need for much equipment at home. Vicky and Amy are very enthusiastic, helpful and encouraging, and this makes the work far more bearable for those of us who don't like exercise for exercise sake. There is no judgement, only encouragement, which makes being there more relaxed and comfortable than any other gym I have tried, and because of this, effort is high, and results really happen!! LOVING IT!!

Gord Lucas

I joined with the 6 week challange and I was not going in with high hopes. I have been there now for almost 4 months and lost almost 40lbs!! I can not say enough great things about Port City and the trainers who work there!! TOP NOTCH!!

Matt Ross

Hands down the best gym in the city! Staff and members are awesome!!

Daniel Desjardins

I couldn’t say enough good things about this place!!!! The trainers are A1, knowledgeable from experience in competition, don’t just make you do the same workouts over and over or a machine circuit, free weights only! The trainers aren’t the only ones, the other members are also fantastic! The whole environment is supportive and amazing!!

Kim Laird

Very expensive. Did not go back

Robyn Johnson

By far the best gym I have ever been to with the best trainers in the city!!! Highly recommend to anyone of any fitness level.

Jarred Crawford

Great atmosphere, fantastic coaching, and a down to earth family like feel that keeps you motivated and accountable to meet you fitness goals. I did a 6 week challenge there that pushed my limits and helped kick start me to take care of my whole self.

Stefanie R

Life changing! The support and knowledge from the trainers is unparallel!!! The workouts are never boring and the people who go to the classes are great too. Lots of positive energy, but never fake. Highly recommend.

Martin Poirier

This was my first experience doing a 6 weeks Challenge. I have to say the results are Amazing !!! At 37 yrs old , I felt like I needed a change, I've been a member of Goodlife Fitness for the last 10 yrs , been physically actif , playing hockey , golf and everything else..but I couldn't achieve the results I was looking for. I am very proud to say that this gym is the best in the city. Awesome Staff / trainers, great atmosphere, really nice facility. I couldn't believed how much Vicky and Amy were dedicated to help us achieved our goal. With the right meal plan , the fun exercises 3 times a weeks or more and your commitment to stick to Vicky rules ... Anybody could get awsome results during this 6 weeks Challenge. I strongly recommend this gym to everyone. Thank you very much to both of you Vicky and Amy for everything you did for me during those 6 weeks. Marty

Ashley Lockhart

I started at the gym 6 weeks ago. It's a great atmosphere and the instructors are great. I lost 20 pounds and 7.4% body fat during the six week challenge. Anyone looking for a gym should try here.

Dale Murphy

The gym is a great atmosphere and fun. They trainers know what they are doing and make sure you do things the right way. I did a 6 week challenge and would gladly recommend it to anyone else. Small class give you more of a one on one feeling.

Karen Gillcrist-Gibson

Joined this gym in May of 2019. I cannot say enough good about the people who go here or the staff. They are so helpful and encouraging. I've gotten further here with my health and wellness than I have at any gym in my life. I'd recommend this gym to any one of my friends and family. <3 it!!!

Kyra Marks

The small group training you receive from Vicky and the trainers at Port City Fitness is second to none. There is no other program that I’ve ever been part of that has increased my strength and helped me lose weight like Port City. Give it a try. You won’t regret it!

Tiff C

I've been a member since the beginning of August. I have to admit I was skeptical about joining a gym and trying the "6 week challenge," but I am so glad I made the plunge. I'm currently 24 lbs lighter and have a community of FUNNY, energetic, welcoming people that I get to work out with every day. No one ever judges you for what you can or can not do, the trainers are able to make adjustments for any problem areas you have and did I mention they're FUN? This gym is worth every penny. If Vicky (and Amy and Robyn) can make me want to work out at 5:30 am every day, she can make anyone want to do it!

henry lee

Good training center

Chris Wall

Been a member for over a year, couldn’t imagine going anywhere else. Classes are awesome. Staff is great Will continue being a member

At 10 months postpartum, I weighed exactly the same as the first day I delivered my baby, I didn't lose a pound since the delivery. I was pretty desperate after tons of attempt to try to lose weight (meeting a dietetitian, going to big fitness clubs..) all in vain. I was lucky to hear about the challenge at Port city training and fitness, and it was THE thing I should have done from the start, it's a life changer. The challenge is a complete program, the meal plan, the training, the coaches ... Well, as far as the meals, it was not that easy at the begining, but not because I was hungry, it was because I had to change my habits. Once I got used to the new habits, I actually enjoyed the process. The coaches are professional, supportive, and very friendly, the workouts change up a lot, you never get bored. I am a shy person, I don't ask a lot of questions, but Vicky was there every week to ask me how I was doing and trying to gauge how I was feeling about the whole thing ... I appreciate that a lot... If you are lost, and you don't know what to do to keep yourself on track ---> Port city training and fitness' team is there for you.

Chrissy Jones

Joining Port City training was one of the best things I have done for myself in a long time! I was a little nervous my first day but that feeling faded very quickly once I seen how friendly everyone was. The coaches are amazing, knowledgeable and very supportive! They genuinely care about everyone and the progress they make! I would highly recommend this gym to everyone!
