CounterBalance Conditioning & Fitness Inc.: Opinions

Negative experience: Not a bad gym, nice selection of equipment. There are no private areas the gym is just one medium-large sized room packed with equipment and people. The main problems with this business is their terms of service and contract you have to agree to access the gym. The first issue is the fact that the contract states that if there are any closures or shut downs they don't owe you anythin: "THAT FROM TIME TO TIME TRAINERIZE MAY REMOVE THE SITE OR CEASE PROVIDING THE SERVICE FOR INDEFINITE PERIODS OF TIME WITHOUT NOTICE TO YOU, AND WITHOUT INCURRING ANY LIABILITY TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY." The limited liability is $100 max, which definately isn't enough when the regular 3 month all access membership is over $180. And also the contract says you waive your right to sue, and instead all disputes go to arbitration. Nobody reads the terms anyway, but the biggest thing that ticked me off is when I went looking for some sort of credit or accommodation after they shut down for half a month on of the employees told me they couldn't help me and that in the contract I'm not owed anything. One other thing I heard from a friend that when they were shut down a few years ago due to covid they were still asking their customers to keep paying for a membership, but they really didn't need it because they were getting a bunch of money and grants from the government. Once again my biggest gripe with the business is their scummy and unfair contract terms, that they expect nobody will read.

Negative experience: $37 for two weeks! Wow that's steep, it gets better when they demand another $25 for the luxury of signing up, and $10 to use a app(). $72+ taxes ($83) for a two week membership puts in in luxury gym territory, when it's just a hole in the wall with standard equipment. For added context, this would roughly be the cost of a 3 month membership in pretty much any other city in Canada. Let's hope the new rec center provides some real competition. It's wild how much places like this will overcharge just because they have a monopoly. Very sleezy and greedy owners taking advantage of the fact that locals pretty much have no other options.

Hi Jez, Our pricing in comparison to other gyms in our province is still far below industry standard. The $25 fingerprint fee is a one time access fee to enter you into our database. Any membership purchase after this is applied to your security fingerprint access. Our app is for membership check-in which is also a must for the safety and viability of our business. You will be hard pressed to find many gyms who don’t charge sign-up fees nationwide and we do not charge a sign-up fee… Further, we are currently in the process of expanding “our little hole in the wall” to close to 10,000 sq feet and doubling our gym capacity and equipment this fall. The owner and her team work very hard to provide the highest quality service on the island for space, equipment, and programming and education. Keep your eye on our pages for updates on our expansion and complete luxurious interior redesign. Cheers, Jez! Edit December 2024: Our “little hole in the wall” has undergone a massive transformation and we have officially re-opened our new luxuriously redesigned 10,000 sq foot facility in the Valley Mall. Check our newly uploaded photos on Google Maps. We hope you enjoy our new facility. Sincerely, Your NOT so Sleezy, Greedy, Local Business Owner ;)

Fantastic experience: Small and locally owned. Don’t be discouraged! This gym packs a punch. They have everything you need and enough space to accommodate most crowds, even during this Groundhog Day rolling covid restrictions world we are currently enduring… The equipment is always clean, and the staff are friendly. Renee always makes a point to greet regular customers and offers to help with anything you might need. The gym uses a finger print scanner for 24h access… She’s an annoying system. I say she, because I hear at least five times a visit that my access is denied and she can’t recognise my finger print! The price point is pretty much bang on what you’d expect to pay, though the contractual agreement is a bit stern. That being said, I do understand the need for this, especially come 1st of January when people go for a month and slowly fade away. I wish the gym had more cardio equipment, and maybe a few more specialised machines. But that’s just my personal preference. Oh, if you fancy wearing cologne, don’t do it here! Strict no smells policy in effect. Maybe post-covid, some fitness classes would be great!

Fantastic experience: I actually went there to get my flu shot! I don't know if the business is still open or not, but it's set up for flu vaccines. It's ummm, very spacious! LOL

CounterBalance Conditioning & Fitness Inc.

We did not disseminate any flu vaccines from our gym space. We are a fully operational gym. The flu vaccination place was NEXT DOOR to our gym. Ha. But thank you for the rave review nonetheless. Come in for a workout next time ;)
