24/7 Athletic Kulture

Fantastic experience: Been going to this gym for about 3 years. Due to distance I stopped coming for a couple months but every other gym I tried was not the same family and kulture. After visiting with a bring a friend pass with a member Breen, I decided that it was time Make the drive to be in a gym environment that made me comfortable and showed me the most progress.

Fantastic experience: Great experience with all staff, very helpful whenever I have an issue, always gets me ice Very clean facility, has cute little basket in the women’s room for hygiene products! Love the free tanning and sauna. Always going above and beyond to create a new and better experiences for members. Totally worth the money and just started to cut down their prices! I’m so excited to see more faces joining our amazing :)

Fantastic experience: This gym has me in a chokehold. Ive been going here since i moved to Barrie ( almost 2 years ago now) and recently switched to another gym closer to home. Literally nothing compares, i have tried two other gyms in Barrie and I constantly think about how they don’t compare. Switching back to AK, the staff, the atmosphere, the machines, the music, cleanliness, all of it, AMAZING. wouldn’t suggest a diff gym for someone who’s passionate about lifting to go to. This is my #1

Fantastic experience: I signed up at Athletic Kulture in December after taking advantage of one of their promotions, and I can honestly say it’s been nothing short of amazing ever since. The facility is incredible — red light therapy, spotless bathrooms and change rooms, a dedicated women’s workout area, and a great cardio section. Everything is clean, modern, and well taken care of. But what truly sets this gym apart is the customer service and Youth Care. It is, hands down, some of the best service I’ve ever received — not just compared to other gyms, but to any service in general. Recently, I signed up with a personal trainer, and Samuel was outstanding in helping make that happen. The front desk staff, Patrick and Tyler, are always welcoming and helpful — and Tyler even greeted me by my name the other day, which genuinely caught me off guard in the best way. There is also a lovely woman at the front desk whose name I unfortunately can’t remember, but she is always incredibly kind and friendly. I’ve also met with Ashley and Ryan, and they are both extremely professional, knowledgeable trainers who clearly know what they’re doing. As a mom of two little ones, this gym has made it possible for me to focus on myself again, and I truly couldn’t be doing this without them. I actually look forward to coming here — which is something I never thought I’d say about a gym. Highly, highly recommend Athletic Kulture. ❤️

Fantastic experience: Love it here, all the staff are super kind, clean gym with great equipment. The smoothie bar is amazing and has a lot of amenities.

Fantastic experience: Love this gym ! All the staff are super friendly and personable, the equipment is top notch and the facility is always clean ! Would highly recommend to anyone looking to join a solid community

Fantastic experience: Best gym by far! Community and equipment is unmatched. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Been to a few different gyms in Barrie and have to say this is the best. The location, the hours , the staff .. all amazing and friendly, knowledgeable , very welcoming . The atmosphere . The supplement store with the selection and competitively priced. Would highly recommend checking it out !

Fantastic experience: Joining AK was an incredible choice. Amazing energy, equipment, and staff- I haven’t stopped raving about AK for the past 2 years.

Fantastic experience: Joined again and really glad I did. This gym is always clean, the members abd staff are welcoming and I'm never without the equipment I want to use. Tyler has been a great help, addressed a billing concern I had and was very satisfied with the outcome.

Positive experience: Price is expensive. A gym is a gym so not joining AK

Negative experience: You cant enter with service animal discriminate

Negative experience: I’m leaving this review to warn anyone thinking about prepaying for a membership here. I joined Athletic Kulture in June 2025 and paid for a full year up front. The main reason I signed up was a quiet, more private area upstairs that I was shown on my tour. It had almost everything I needed and was the only reason I chose this gym over others. A few months later, I showed up and discovered that area had been converted into a ladies-only section. That change was not mentioned when I joined, and it completely changed what I was paying for. Since then, I’ve only been in a couple of times because the part of the gym I signed up for simply no longer exists for me. I contacted the gym, explained the situation, and asked for a refund of the remaining months. I pointed out that their own contract says: “The Member may cancel this contract… if there is a material change in the services provided by the club.” In my view, removing the only area I joined for is a material change. The response I received acknowledged the change (they explained it was now a women’s-only section and that member demographics had shifted), but they told me they do not refund paid-in-full memberships after activation. In other words, they will cancel, but in my experience, they keep your money if you prepaid, even when they change the facility in a way that makes it unusable for you. They also advertise that you can “cancel anytime,” but my experience is that if you’ve prepaid, the cancellation doesn’t come with any refund, even when the gym changes in a significant way after you sign. I had enjoyed the gym (Equipment is great) before this and didn’t set out to speak badly about it, but I think it’s only fair to share my experience so others can make an informed decision (Towel service is very spotty and are sand paper). My advice to anyone considering this gym: • Do not prepay for a full year unless you’re comfortable with the risk that they may change the layout/services and you may not get your money back. • If you join, consider month-to-month instead of paid-in-full, so you’re not locked in if the club changes in a way that doesn’t work for you. This review is based solely on my personal experience as a paying member.

Fantastic experience: Amazing place!!!!

Fantastic experience: Went in for a free day pass last Saturday, and walked out with a membership, been a few years since I’ve trained so it was incredible to step into this gym. Staff was super friendly, vibes are at an all time high, if there’s one thing I wish was better it’s the sauna situation (a bigger one or multiple would be nice) granted I know space is an issue. Nonetheless this is a fantastic gym and will be training here for years to come

Fantastic experience: best customer service i have ever seen in my life. I went to go ask the front to charge my headphones and the kind young man, (i think his name is tyler) at the front willingly unplugged his phone so that he could plug in my headphones. Chivalry is still alive and well at this place 11/10

Fantastic experience: The customer service at Athletic Kulture is the absolute best. Tyler is phenomenal. It is also worth noting that the front desk staff always makes you feel welcome. A great place to workout.

Negative experience: Green Room has been eliminated in favour of a women’s only space. Not against a women’s only space whatsoever, but the Green Room was a great place to come workout silently with more AC. Policy has also been updated to limit the amount of towels per person to 1 a person. This may be a problem for some people who use one towel to workout and one to do cardio afterwards. Sauna has also always been very sub-par if that matters to you (despite rumours it will be upgraded it never has been). For the price, with these recent changes, and considerations, it’s best to consider all of your options.

Negative experience: Super unfortunate about the green room change… I’ll be back when it fails

Fantastic experience: I have lived all over Canada, been bodybuilding for 11 years, and tried every gym you could name. AK is the BEST gym I have ever been to. They have all the best equipment you could get and its well maintained+clean. The cleaning staff are all very nice and do a great job. A dedicated posing room is so nice to have. Everyone is respectful in there and makes sure to give you space. And they have cardio on the top floor so I dont have to think about doing it lol. They have a womens only room which is great if you're shy. And they have child care. Washroom/change rooms are very large, clean, and even have hygiene products which is a nice touch. The clothing they have is fair priced and worth it. They have a wide range of supplements and energy drinks. I haven't had the food yet as its pretty expensive, but it looks good and has amazing macros. Plus Jordan is my favourite person ever. Im very to myself but he makes me come out of my shell. He makes me feel welcome and I always have a smile on my face before I workout. I do wish more of the gym flooring was rubber mats because my feet slip all the time. But thats the only con I can think of. But they make up for it as first responders and military get a discount

Fantastic experience: Great gym amazing team !

Fantastic experience: Really nice and helpful staff :) great place :) got some excellent protein powder and a big mixer :)

Negative experience: I’ve been a member for a few years now. When I asked this morning (Thursday-6am) for a second towel the front desk staff said they only provide one per member. The odd time I’ll ask for 2 as the towels are so over-washed they feel like paper towel that’s why I asked for a second one, which they usually accommodate. This time was different, and when I said I was going to cancel my membership because of that, the front desk staff said “Sounds like a plan.” with no hesitation. I wonder if a second towel costs more than the $100 monthly fee they’re collecting from me. I’ll be joining Pure Athletic as of next week.

Fantastic experience: I can honestly say it’s been an incredible experience! The facilities are top-notch—spotless, spacious, and equipped with all the latest gear. From the strength training area to the cardio machines, everything is well-maintained and readily available. What really stands out is the staff. Every trainer is knowledgeable, approachable, and passionate about helping you meet your fitness goals. The classes are fun and challenging, and I always feel supported, whether I’m doing yoga, HIIT, or strength training. The personal trainers are top-tier, tailoring programs to fit your unique needs and pushing you to be your best. ILOVE Todd,Tyler, AJ

Fantastic experience: Best gym I’ve been to, amazing clean facility with lots of amenities and super friendly staff.

Fantastic experience: W workers

Negative experience: I came to the gym with my friend to try out the gym. They wouldn’t let me in for a free trial and they said it was only free tomorrow. They have lost the chance for me to join and anyone I know. We were more than welcomed to have a free trial at pure athletic club instead and had a great time!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Athletic Kulture almost every day for a while now and honestly, I love it. Everyone’s friendly, it’s clean, and the staff are great. Big shoutout to Tyler and JR for always keeping the energy up and being genuinely good people. I don’t think I’d be dragging myself to the gym at 5am if it wasn’t for this place.

Positive experience: I have tried almost every commercial gym in Barrie (LA, GoodLife, fit4less etc.), so this time I decided to try private and Athletic Kulture really is a step above. The facilities are always well maintained and clean, the staff is friendly, the equipment is great, there’s literally a machine for every muscle you can think of, and I’ve been at all times during the day (morning, afternoon and night) and it never feels super crowded or pushy. My one downside is there’s usually someone filming/ taking photos. Whether it’s an influencer with a tripod or a professional film/photo crew doing advertising, as someone who’s a little more self conscious it can feel like a game of “dodge the camera” somedays. Overall the best gym I’ve been to in Barrie and highly recommend giving it a try!

Fantastic experience: I've been with this gym for a couple of years now. Absolutely recommend for those interested in weight lifting. Amazing staff and equipment.

Fantastic experience: Day made! Instead of just sauntering out of the gym after a fabulous workout with Dale, I was treated to the expertise and incredible customer service of Kyra and Zander Who refueled my day and my enthusiasm level for this fabulous facility!

Fantastic experience: My favourite gym I’ve ever been to, been going since they opened and will never change. My son also loves the child care and has been going since he was 6 months old.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to Athletic Kulture for a while now, and I have to say, it’s a great place to work out. The facilities are always clean, and they have everything I need to get a solid workout in. A special shoutout to Jake at the front desk – he’s always so friendly and welcoming every time I walk in. He really makes the experience even better! Highly recommend this gym to anyone looking for a great place to train.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym easily the best gym in Barrie and worth coming to in every way. Good community staff and trainers can confidently say coming to a gym with high quality equipment and atmosphere makes it feel like an second home and Would have not had the same enjoyment in my fitness journey if I had picked any other gym no other gym stands out in the way athletic Kulture does.

Fantastic experience: The staff and the gymgoers here are all great people. The price is on the higher end, but for what else is available in town, it's pretty well justified and represents a good value. I think if you place importance on the quality of your workout, there isn't a better place to be. The gym is exceptionally clean as well.

Negative experience: I have a week off for the holidays and I decided to try out a few of the big gyms over my break. I came into Athletic Kulture today to try out their facility and I got rejected. They are keeping the gym to members only for this day, nothing was posted online or on their social media about this. I drove over an hour and a half to get here and now I have to drive all the way back. I respect reducing the gym to members only keep out all the “new years resolutions” or whatever but at least publicly display it so I don’t have to waste my time. Hopefully I can enjoy this gym in the near future.

Fantastic experience: Good vibes, amazing workout music and most importantly quality machines.

Fantastic experience: This is one of the best facilities in Simcoe County. This place does need a bigger sauna.

Positive experience: It's a great gym. Worth the price if you use the tanning phcilaty. I do not use it, so it's too overpriced

Negative experience: Terrible customer service, never reply their emails , can't speak to anyone management wise in person "everything is done online " there's no way to cancel my membership without having them reply my email(how convenient), have been trying to get a hold of someone through email and in person for over a month , for the amount of money they bring in you'd think their facilities would be better reshape , equipment is worn and faulty and they never care to replace it .

Fantastic experience: Love love the gym and it has all the equipment you need from Bodybuilding, Strongman and Powerlifting!! Awesome!

Fantastic experience: Great place great atmosphere

Positive experience: I currently have a membership paying $15/month at the purple and yellow place (you know which one) and for various reasons I wanted to try something different and better suited to me. I bought a day pass to AK and Amy at the front desk was pleasant and answered all my questions and was happy to help. When I first walked onto the workout floor I couldn't help but feel really intimidated by all the machines and intermediate gym goers (and I'm not a newby at a gym but I'm also not the bodybuilder type either) just to put things into perspective. That feeling wore off pretty quickly as I got acclimated to the new/better vibe and environment. I must say that I was super impressed about the cleanliness of the gym and the men's lockerroom, better than any other gym I've been to. The only gripe I have and reason why I rated it a 4 star instead of 5 is obviously due to the price of $100/month with no other membership level to choose from. I do understand it is a business and it's obvious the membership prices reflect the quality of amenities and machines, I just wished you guys had a lower level option that didn't include, say, towel service and tanning for example and making the bi-weekly fee $35 (or even $75 monthly). A lot of pros for sure but I'd love to see more membership options with less amenities included. I asked about getting a few friends together and joining AK to see if that would lower the cost but apparently it changed and that discount is now only for people who live at the same residence now. All in all, it's a top notch gym and community I'd love to be a member at someday, I just hope there will be a promotion in the near future to be able to join. Keep up the good work AK!

Fantastic experience: I was a member at La Fitness for 8 + years before making the switch to AK. The music is insanely GOOD, even better than my own! AK is a clean, dark, cool air conditioned place with ample space to perform. This kukture is “in the zone hard working”. You don’t see too many people standing around you see everyone working hard on their own goals and that’s what I love. At first I was intimated of working at Ak because of all the equipment, but the staff and everyone at AK help make you comfortable and make the transition so easy. I can not stress enough how amazing this gym is, they literally have everything to help take you from mediocre to extraordinary. 24/7 gym makes it even easier and takes the worry away. Make the switch today you will not be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: Zander was very nice and made me a great smoothie

Fantastic experience: Amy is amazing she makes the gym flow with her attitude!

Fantastic experience: Andrew is such a helpful worker, he recommended a good pre workout and gave me a tip for deadlifting!

Fantastic experience: First time there today, Staff was so kind from when I entered and got me a $34 day pass. I was only here for a day, everyone in the gym seemed nice and super switched on. I recorded few clips of my content and it was easy to navigate the gym and it’s so huge.. amazing equipments, lots of space and they even had a posing room. When I left the staff was so kind and warmed up my post workout meal. I even took advantange of their supp shop and got some cream of rice. this is the gym you wanna be a member of if u live in the area. Will def be back

Fantastic experience: I love everything about this gym. The staff is always amazing and helpful, the smoothie bar is 24/7! It is a huge gym so even during peak hrs you're able to find a nice spot to work out. The atmosphere is really motivating and professional, you really wanna be there everyday.

Fantastic experience: Outstanding gym with outstanding staff. Always brining in new equipment and keeping things up to date. Wide variety of supplement’s and snacks. If you’re in before 6am, Jordan is a great way to start your day, always smiles and positivity!

Negative experience: You can’t workout anywhere in the gym without someone being within 4-6ft of you, until recently upstairs allowed more space now they have more equipment upstairs eliminating the ability to use free weights if someone is using said equipment. When I first joined I loved it, the cafe was reasonably priced and offered breakfast and healthy snacks now it’s just sweets and dinner meals (unfortunately now it’s pretty expensive $18 for a meal). They had classes in the green room which is no longer a thing as they only lasted a very short period. If you don’t have any regard for personal space and enjoy using lots of different machines then this gym would work for you as long as you don't mind strategically navigating around the equipment especially when it’s in use as it will come into your walking path. There’s minimal room for stretching due to equipment overload, people workout on the stretching turf often which I don’t blame them for as there’s ZERO opportunity to have personal space even off of peak times. They're also only open 24/7 when it’s not a holiday/long weekend which is a huge downside for shift workers, compared to other 24/7 gyms. Their definition of “24/6” during holidays if offering very limited hours on holidays and the days just before. But I will say it’s a very clean gym.

Fantastic experience: Been going for over 2 years and it’s like home! Shout out to Kyra and Nicole; welcoming smiles, love chatting with them and very knowledgeable supplement advice. 10/10 smoothie makers too!

Fantastic experience: This past weekend I had the pleasure of visiting Athletic Kulture Barrie for a 3 day pass, like any (in)sane person would given the opportunity I went each one of those 3 days (twice a day) to get the most out of this experience and hit everything I could, To say my expectations were met is a understatement, from the variety of machines to clean gym and professional atmosphere I was beyond impressed, the gym’s equipment choices were clearly made not by just a company trying to open a gym but a team of experienced athletes who know what machines your average lifter wants. The supplement store and upper mezzanine area with cardio equipment, a quieter free weights zone and “posing room” are additions to AK that bring this facility one step above the rest, If you are in Barrie I would 100% recommend checking out this amazing facility, I know I look forward to making it a regular part of my fitness routine,

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Barrie and Adam Houle is the best personal trainer around. Make sure you ask for Adam to motivate you, get you in the best shape, and keep you in the game!

Fantastic experience: Staff, management and enviroment is great. It has all the equipment you need from Bodybuilding, Strongman and Powerlifting!

Negative experience: Tried to sign up, Wellness living website says Athletic Kulture website inactive not able to sign up. Lovely.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely the best and most motivating gym I’ve ever been to in Canada. Brand new equipment, amazing friendly staff, great protein bar and shop. Highly recommended to anyone looking to take their workout to a higher level !

Negative experience: Regret to give one star. Coz i loved this gym. Been with them for few years. Had an incident 2-3 days ago where a new roommate used my membership card without my knowledge twice. I called the gym the next day and wrote an email explained them. But they still decide to ban me instead. Expected management to be a little understanding. Even offered to pay them for 2 day passes for the time he used my card. I know it’s against rule but it happened when i wasn’t even aware about it. Thankyou

Fantastic experience: Easily my favorite gym in the gta/simcoe area! It has its flaws but if it wasn't for the great staff, environment and equipment i’d probably give it a 4. Some consecutive criticism; The saunas are pretty bad, too cold and too small, mens one has been broken for month's. Definitely a residential sauna, not meant for commercial use imo. Not enough water fountains/warm water (nbd tbh) Biggest issue being the Prices, i miss the $60 basic plan and $80 for the tanning/towel’s. Considering a lot of ppl don't tan and shower at home, or bring a towel (like my self) it doesn't seem worth it. Luckily i got it at a good deal back in early days but my gf wont join because $100 a month is a little much considering the cost to hit macros is already insane now a days

Fantastic experience: Best gym in simcoe county. Top tier.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, fantastic atmosphere and top notch equipment. Also home of the Moose so an all out great experience.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Ontario by far. The atmosphere and accommodations are top-tier. Super high energy facility. Being a member eliminates that " not feeling like going to the gym today " feeling. Always ready to hit up AK

Fantastic experience: I've been working out at AK since they opened and have been loving it! I worked out here comfortably during my whole pregnancy and have returned now post partum. My son has been attending their youth care since he was 4 months old, this was the first place I ever left him without family and has been loving every second of it. I always pick him up with a big smile on his face and the girls make you feel so comfortable with leaving your baby there!

Fantastic experience: Goodlife closed. Been a member for 12 years. Been seeing AK through friends on Insta, decided to come by late tonight and I met J.R at the front desk. Very welcoming, professional and awesome. Joined right away. The smoothie bar open 24/7 is fantastic. Gym is awesome, equipment is great. 5 star.

Fantastic experience: Well equipped, clean gym. Best equipment and freindly staff. JR was especially helpful at front desk. Will definitely come back again!

Fantastic experience: So I Came To 24/7 Athletic Kulture To Check It Out In Hopes Of Falling In Love With Fitness Again As My Desire To Go To A Gym Was Gone, Not Only Do I Love The Feel Of The Atmosphere & The Layout & Options The Club Offers I Really Hope If You Guys Ever Decide To Expand You Open A Location In Newmarket / Aurora ( Leslie & Wellington ) ( Old Rona Store ) Like They Say….. If You Build It They Will Come. “ Field Of Dreams “ AMAZING GYM !!!

Fantastic experience: One the very best gyms I have been to. When it comes to authenticity. It's almost decorated like the fusion gyms. It's a club with a lot of very strong athletes who are just looking to get social and work out. Big names like Mitchell hooper, whom I worked out with once before. Always playing great music and amazing helpful staff. If you're ever in Barrie, check this gym out.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym and equipment. My son and I took advantage of the 7 day free trial. AK is. Now my favourite gym. The machines are so nice the staff was friendly and accommodating. They made the best smoothie ever. We love the store and cafe. Thank you. By the way we drive in from Newmarket because it’s so good.
