Norfolk Fitness Centre

Negative experience: No hot tub, run down, false advertisement. Well maybe you should remove it from your photo the hot tub pic

Positive experience: Cheap, but you get what you pay for. They sell you on the features, but the pools shut down half the time. The sauna is usually broken, and the hot tub is now nonexistent. They dont offer any classes, and equipment is becoming very out of date. But again it is affordable.

Negative experience: They closed over half an hour early. Showed up at 7: 25 and was denied access. What a joke.

Positive experience: I'm from Calgary, just in town for work but I will say this place has 5 star staff, super friendly and helpful, and keep the place as clean as possible, even greet me by name when I come in and make me feel at home. But a critique is that the membership price is far too high for the outdated quality of equipment and hours of operation. Friday/Weekend hours are too short, especially if you have a busy schedule. But if you just need to get a quick lift in and go home, it's one of the only places nearby to do it, so fair play.

Fantastic experience: Great place to go swimming with

Fantastic experience: The staff this year has been awesome. I enjoy the pool so much . Everything is kept nice and clean . Thank you .

Negative experience: The gym has had its "upgrades" but this review is long overdue. I find it extremely frustrating that you are charging $75 for outdated rusted equipment. The sauna is also working 50 percent of the time. Moving on to your hours of operation on the weekend where MOST PEOPLE have off. Please tell me why is it that your earliest open time is 8:00 am on Saturday and you close at 3:00pm on Sundays? If you are charging $75.00 I would consider staying open longer on weekends. Lastly, the elderly men here are absolutely vile and unhinged. I understand it's been centuries since you've seen a young women but the level inappropriate staring and commentary that goes on is beyond uncomfortable.

Negative experience: the staff are great and the place is kept very cleand, that’s the only reason they’re getting 2 stars. showers are luke warm at best with timer valves lasting 20 seconds at most, machines are out dated but the duct tape on the cushions and lack of indicators on the weights makes that obvious, parking can either be good or chaotic as it’s not lined out. Steam room has been out of order forever with no intent to have it fixed. No ‘referral’ or ‘bring a friend’ offers available which is pretty standard for most places at this point and if you want to take part in their morning classes, it’s extra. But the worst part is that they’re charging $75/month for a membership, which would be fine if everything worked as it should. However, after hearing the same complaints from other members I have to say it’s complete thievery . After going here for a year I can say that I’m ONLY going here because of the lack of options in my area with all the extras (pool/sauna/squash court) if you’re looking for a well priced, basic gym, this is NOT it. It’s pretty disgusting how much the gym makes and how little goes back into the gym itself

Negative experience: Overpriced, small town charm. For 5x the cost of a gym in the city, you can have all the same amenities. They know there aren't many options in simcoe, and take advantage of that. They do offer outdated racquetball courts. A steam room that has been out of order for years. A hot tub in the same condition and not usable. Once in a while the sauna works. And yet, the price stays the same, if not climbs. So if you are stuck, I can't blame you for going here. If you have any other options, save your money.

Fantastic experience: Super friendly staff, I take my daughter here to swim one day a week

Fantastic experience: Great place for fitness, good equipment .

Positive experience: I found the tiles a bit slippery; and the hot tub was not in service.

Fantastic experience: Love this gym, they have everything you need including the old school equipment you don't see at commercials gym. Wasn't too busy in the morning, highly recommended gym.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to this gym for 9 months now, if I could give 6 stars I would! The staff here are very respectful and welcoming. The people there are also very friendly, I’ve never had a bad experience while working out. I’ve gotten advice for working out and even advice for life from the people in there. I couldn’t surround myself with a better crowd.The overall feel of the gym is very friendly and was a great way to start my fitness journey, I’ve been to many gyms since I started here but nothing has quite felt the same. This gym has helped me overcome obstacles in my life I never imagined would be possible. I would recommend this gym over any other around this area, it’s genuinely the best gym you’ll find.

Negative experience: Used as a drop in a couple of times before and after the pandemic. Has the potential to be a good gym, but first impressions are not good. The equipment is old, and in need of maintenance. The steam room I think has been abandoned as the out of order sign has been up every time I’ve gone. It was one of the reasons I liked coming to this gym. Nothing like a good sweat after a workout. Also when you try to phone the gym, nobody ever answers, and your redirected to the hotel desk. It’s unfortunate that there is very limited choice for gyms in Norfolk county.

Fantastic experience: Love this gym, they have everything you need including the old school equipment you don't see at commercials gym. Wasn't too busy in the morning, highly recommended gym.

Fantastic experience: Great service

Positive experience: I have tried many difference gyms over the years and have never really been too happy with most of them. This one is totally different. The staff are very helpful, you never feel as if you are bothering them, tons of machines so even if someone is on the one you want to use there are many others. The pool, hot tub, sauna and steam room are all very nice and clean. The only thing that held it back from being a 5 star for me is the wash room/change rooms. They are very clean and well kept however they are starting to get out dated and old and are rather small compared to the size of the gym. But I was told last night that they are in the works to change/update them so when that happens it will definitely be a 5 star gym

Fantastic experience: Nice polite and informative.

Fantastic experience: Clean sparkling and well run , staff is amazing , helpful and goes out of their way to make the experience perfect

Fantastic experience: Este gimnasio es muy bueno, la verdad no estaba muy animado en inscribirme pero ya entrando me sentí muy a gusto la verdad les recomiendo vayan y entrenen en el !

Fantastic experience: Great little space. Lots of equipment and space. People horde the sanitizer for machines so some people can't wipe then down after. Locker rooms are a decent size too

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality

Fantastic experience: NFC is awesome. They are doing EVERYTHING right during the pandemic. Keeping members safe is their top priority.

Negative experience: Terrible

Fantastic experience: I love the pool here. I am disabled and don't go upstairs to the gym, it is next to impossible for me, but I have been and they have a lot of free weights, machines & cardio equipment. There are coaches & many different classes. The staff is friendly & kind, they make the experience even better, this includes the cleaning and maintenance staff. During the last year they have renovated the men's & women's change rooms, making things modern and super clean. Keep in mind that they are still in process of doing this. My only wish would be that they had a membership plan that was for the pool only because paying for something i can't get full use of really bothers me. Yet this pool has probably saved my life, they keep it between 84 & 88 degrees so it is beneficial to anyone with arthritis.

Fantastic experience: Like all the equipment there, just hope they can open later on weekends

Positive experience: Good variety of equipment and large variety of classes. Some plates feel as if they are different weights and benches feel crooked. Could use a uniform weight set as plates can be mixed and matched. Great changeroom, appears to be recently renovated. Being a shift worker means no gym on friday Saturday or sunday due to restricted hours.

Positive experience: The staff are awesome here! Older equipment, could definitely use some upgrades because it's on the higher end of monthly gym fee's. Sauna, steam room, hot tub and pool amenities included in gym pricing. Not much competition around this area and I feel the price truly reflects that.

Positive experience: The equipment in the gym is a bit old. It’s nice that they have a squat rack and lots of free weights. Can get kind of crowded at peak hours of the day. They are under staffed. As for pricing it’s also not the best but there aren’t many options in simcoe and this the cheapest option

Fantastic experience: When I first went to see the Gym the staff was so helpful and friendly. They answered all my questions and made me feel very comfortable. The gym is very clean they have towels and cleaner at every station to wipe down the machines when you are done. The bathrooms are very clean. If you want to work out with very few people the best times to go are around 730 800 at night and 6 am in the morning.

Negative experience: I went there with my friend because I was thinking about signing up when I was approached by the trainer named Tiana. She was EXTREMELY rude to me and my friend. Accusing me of training my friend when all I did was show her one exercise that I enjoy but currently could not do because I hurt my collar bone. I told the front desk and they did nothing about it. I emailed the trainer asking for an apology and she never replied. TERRIBLE customer service!! I've never been so disgusted by a gym and I've been working out for 6 years and I've been to countless gyms!

Fantastic experience: Best Gym in town. Front staff and trainers are super nice and helpful. Definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: it 've swimming pool inside spa,the hot room not always working

Fantastic experience: Love the new change rooms

Fantastic experience: This is a review specifically for a trainer at this gym. Her name is Chrissy and she is amazing. I had been training by myself for the past 4 months to get myself ready for the Special Constable physical fitness test. Now I hate going to the gym and lifting weights because I get bored easily so I mainly did Calisthenics to prepare for my test. But the issue was that even though I made some progress by myself I began to plateau and I couldn't get my body 100% ready for the test. So I joined the Norfolk Fitness Centre and got myself a trainer to get over that last hurdle so that I could pass my test. The main issue was that my test was in 3 weeks, and I was worried I wouldn't be able to pass. So I met with Chrissy and I explained to her what my problem was, and right away she began giving me great advice on fixing my diet and sleeping habits, and she told me she would do her best to help me. And let me tell you, in just 3 weeks, Chrissy trained me hard, and she helped me get to a 100%. Seriously, she is very good at what she does. And as an added benefit, I now see the value in lifting weights and Chrissy even gave me the workout plan she used for me so that I would keep following it on my own. If you need help getting in shape or just need to get over your own hurdles, ask for Chrissy. Great trainer, and great gym.
