Movati Athletic

Very aggressive marketing. Did a trial for one day and received a text message every week since. Nice enough gym but very expensive and not worth the hassle. I would suggest Push (similar price but more relaxed) or the Canada Games Centre (much cheaper, has all you need)

I payed $10 for a drop in which is standard but when I went and asked for a towel after my workout and they said I needed to pay another $1.50 in order to get one, so I had to walk all the way back to my locker just to grab my vredit card for a towel after I already paid $10. The floors in the shower area were disgusting I would suggest having sandals if you go in there. Also the staff was very blah and did not smile. Definitely would not recommend this gym.

I would never recommend this gym to anyone in Thunder Bay. The membership prices alone are very unreasonable, not to mention the bully/ instructor I had. I got a membership because I wanted to start yoga. My first class, was a horrible experience. My instructor, Dorothy, had a lisp which is totally fine, however I couldn't understand her which is a problem when your trying to listen to her instructions. My friends have had similar problems with this instructor, which I only found out after buying a membership:( Dorothy also singled me out throughout class if I wasn't doing it 'properly' which was totally unprofessional. I am naturally flexible, confident, very petite, and fit. I could tell this really made Dorothy insecure and jelous of me. I feel bad that she is intimidated by young, confident women...however, she is an adult and should know how to deal with these feelings at her age. Dorothy, this is a gym, not a high school. After this class, I told the managers my complaint, and got my membership refunded. I now happily go to the college for yoga classes, with wonderful instructors and a pleasant atmosphere!! Save yourself the disappointment, and don't go here.

I believe this is a great place to workout. I just moved from Calgary and this gym offers most of the same activities as the facilities in the big city. Movati has a "big city" gym atmosphere. The classes are well run and the instructors are fit, enthusiastic and motivating. The amenities, like the sauna, steam room, pool, jacuzzi and beverage bar, as well as the workout area and fitness classes, all make the membership fee more than acceptable and a affordable. I would recommend Movati to anyone who is looking for place to workout.

Just joined and so far I am impressed.everyone that works here are very friendly and helpful. Everything is clean and seems to be well maintained. Without even asking the coaches come over to help when I am using the equipment for the first time. Daniel gave me a great tour showing me where I could swim and the various departments and classes. There seems to be a variety of things going on all the time.

I've been a member for almost a year now. I pay 63$ per month. Here are my observations: 1. Zero wait times at non-peak hours (5AM to 4PM and 8:30PM onwards on Weekdays). You literally feel like you own the gym at these times. I've never been here at peak hours so I cannot comment on equipment availability. 2. Good members : Everyone sanitizes after using the weights/machines. You will never find weights lying around out of place. Save a few incidents, members just do their thing and leave the gym. Once in a while a group or two comes in, occupy squat rack area, talk loudly for an hour but its rare, like once in 30 days rare. 3. Really spacious and open. You can do your own thing without wondering if others are watching you(specially for beginners) since the machines are spaced really well and do not feel congested. 4. Free Full Body composition analysis. I've had 3 done since I've joined. This was a game changer for me and helped me formulate a plan and be consistent. Visualization of your data is a HUGE game changer if you want to be consistent and stick to the fitness lifestyle. 5. The ventilation is really efficient! There is no puffiness in the air like in some gyms even after peak hours. Majority of the Staff members are phenomenal and awesome (shout out to Ms. Cathy). They offer great advice, encouragement and genuinely care about your results. ________________________________________________________________________ Feel free to ask me ANY questions, I will answer honestly and to the best of my knowledge.

Signed up for a pass. When I got there they said I wasn’t eligible because I didn’t live in the area. Now I keep getting txts from them about their promos.
