GYMVMT Fitness Club - Kensington

Negative experience: Came in looking to sign up for a membership. Just wanted to walk around the gym and see what they had. I was told I had to pay a 20$ drop in just to look at the gym, or come back in 3 hours. Person at front didn’t bother telling me anything they offer or even what amenities they had. Went to another gym and was happily given a tour. Save yourself the time and money and go somewhere they actually care.

Fantastic experience: Great place great staff. Nicely set up.

Negative experience: I would NEVER recommend this gym. When I signed up, I was NEVER told about a $99 cancellation fee. If I had known, I wouldn’t have joined in the first place. Now when I tried to cancel, they tried to charge me and acted like it was my fault. The staff on the phone basically called me a liar, saying “all their workers always tell customers” — which is simply not true in my case. Very unprofessional, dismissive, and shady business practices. They care more about squeezing money out of people than being honest and transparent. Do yourself a favor and take your business somewhere that actually respects its members.

Fantastic experience: I would like to thank all the guys I met in the Gymvmt for the warm welcoming from the first day NAOD thanks I didn’t want to leave but the day has come wishing you bright future all of there

Positive experience: Passable

Negative experience: Sure is a lot of nice FAKE reviews written lately! If you think you're being greeted by anything other than a bossy woman ready to hassle you at the front counter, you're in for a surprise. Did she ignore you? Don't worry, she was belating someone else at the time but she'll come find you during your work out. Ready to share your banking information with her several times and still not have her enter it into their system properly on your next visit? Paid up to date and she's still a nightmare. It's clear there is no data security for customer information. No wonder this place has such high turn over (customers and staff). I keep trying every few months because the location is ideal but this attitude from the desk girl is unreasonable and unrelenting.

Negative experience: Horrible experience and terrible customer service.

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to this gym for 12 years and I am satisfied with the gym, it’s a great gym. The staff, like Bernice, are helpful :)

Positive experience: Affordable gym, equipment works and great atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful and friendly staff; as you walk in, you are greeted by a beautiful smile from the lady at the front desk and a wide range of activities. Up-to-date equipment and easy-to-use, also an easy membership sign-up—it's just overall a welcoming atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: The gym is really nice, I love the fact that you’re greeted with respect and manners at the front desk and that makes training there even easier

Fantastic experience: Very polite staff! Questions were answered very clearly and she was super patient on the phone with me so much appreciated customer service!

Fantastic experience: I called recently asking some questions about the gym and Jessica was amazing! She showed kindness and patience ensuring I had all my questions answered clearly and was very helpful. Definitely a new favorite here, thank you again Jessica!

Fantastic experience: Phenomenal Staff, top-notch equipment, and enough motivation in the air to make you think you could actually enjoy leg day. Shout out to Chance, Bernice, Isabella, Aisha, Akellia, Jessica, Naod... and all the personal trainers!

Fantastic experience: I called for inquiries and Jessica was incredibly helpful in answering all my questions. Definitely gonna check out this location more!!!

Fantastic experience: This gym is amazing! Best gym in city!! Great yoga classes !!

Fantastic experience: Great gym and an even better staff + community. I'm always happy to be here !!

Fantastic experience: Amazing facility with friendly staff!

Fantastic experience: Started working out in November last year and it’s been one of the best experiences I’ve had… the vibes overall just 10/10

Fantastic experience: Very friendly staff, great selection of equipment and the recovery room is top notch! Economical prices and the personal trainers are very helpful

Fantastic experience: I've been here for a while and have never had a problem the workers are very nice and they keep this gym so clean. As well when you ask for something they look into it and fix it asap!

Fantastic experience: Great people and workers!

Fantastic experience: I love this gym so many amazing people and the staff is awesome! All the ladies at the front are so sweet!

Negative experience: Half the equipment is broken half the time, and they take a month to fix it. Not worth the cost vs experience.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym. Great price point. They have enough equipment to always have something available within your workout. Great variety and layout of equipment and facilities. Love the staff, extremely friendly and helpful, nothing like the reviews I'm reading, sounds like the 1 star attitudes are beyond inflated. I would definitely recommend this location.

Negative experience: Canceled my membership approximately 2 months ago and they have still been taking out the 28 dollars every two weeks, had to put a stop payment on them for my bank, and they reached out to me a week ago again saying my balance is overdue, I emailed them back saying that I had canceled the membership and that they've taken out enough payments to cover the cancelation fee, they told me that the cancelation wasn't input properly even though I had to go back to cancel two separate times, they then emailed me back saying it was canceled and that I still have to pay the cancelation fee even though they've taken approximately 112 dollars from my bank since the cancelation. On top of that to begin with I wanted to subscribe monthly so that if I wanted to cancel there wouldn't be a fee no commitment, but was pressured by employees at this location to do the year plan and that's where they get you. Be very careful of charges with this gym and keep a close eye on your bank account after cancelation.

Negative experience: I just can’t stand this gym and the people work their

Negative experience: Don't sign up for this gym. It's a waste of time and money.

Fantastic experience: Chris is fantastic. 10/10. Love the gym just started there a few weeks ago and loving it.

Fantastic experience: I have registered in GYMVMT on April. There was a really really pleasant lady named “Sarah Gabramaskal“ who is a really supportive lady at the gym. She is so kind, supportive, honest, and reliable staff at the gym. If you get any issues or even if you have any concerns, I would recommend talking to her only. She is the best and the reason I'm still at the gym movement is because of her nice behaviour. If I want to write a good review I would love to write a letter to the main office managers that they have to look at these staff. They deserve to be granted and get a good award. All the best wishes for her and GYMMVT…

Fantastic experience: Great gym with great people working there. It has everything you need when it comes to equipment. Highly recommend anyone that’s looking for a gym to train here. Won’t be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: Best gym ever especially the workers: salah does not miss a chance to show excellent customer service and always helps people improve even when he is not on the shift. Most selfless guy ever

Fantastic experience: This gym is great has all the equipment needed very clean and friendly staff who help you reach goals

Fantastic experience: The gym is phenomenal! Customer service is on point(Hey) :) Recommend to everyone.

Fantastic experience: The best gym ever! Makes working out actually enjoyable. Amazing staff

Negative experience: While the gym space and equipment were top-notch, my experience took a frustrating turn after spinal surgery. Trying to quit the gym became a complete nightmare. Despite my medical condition, they insisted I had to show up in person to cancel my membership, making an already difficult situation even worse. Why is it so hard to cancel a gym membership? This lack of flexibility and customer care overshadowed what could have been a positive experience.

Fantastic experience: Good assortment of machines, pretty quiet and clean!

Negative experience: Needs air conditioning! Really hard to workout when it’s a sauna in the gym!! Needs to invest in new equipment. So much of the equipment is really old and not properly working

Fantastic experience: SARA WAS A REALLY BIG HELP, IF YOUR CONSIDERING A GYM, THIS IS THE PLACE, ID RECOMMEND SARA TO HELP YOU GET STARTED!!

Fantastic experience: Sarah was very helpful and nice, she showed me and my friend around and overall was a great first experience

Fantastic experience: Best gym in the city. All they employees are great.

Fantastic experience: This has been my gym for almost twenty years... I can't even imagine going anyplace else! Other places come and go but GYMVMT, even under a different name, will always be there!

Negative experience: FOR THE LOVE OF GOD FIX YOUR AC AT KENSINGTON LOCATION. It's been years and we get told they're working on it. The gym is too hot to be in. My friends and I are about to move elsewhere.

Fantastic experience: Gymvmt Kensington best gym on earth hands down. The members are the nicest people as well as the staff. Huge thanks to Emma for finding a way to fix every broken machine in the gym and thanks to Julia for having the sweetest smile and never fails to greet everyone. I love you guys ☺

Fantastic experience: Great staff good atmosphere in the morning Emma is a joy to be around

Fantastic experience: Great gym !! Love the classes they organise!! Great environment!!

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Front desk lady emma is so knowledgeable and friendly!

Negative experience: This is an embarrassment of a gym. Gymvmt is World Health Club rebranded after going broke - the same management is committed to bankrupting gymvmt as well. There is no AC because they are extremely cheap. They are running floor fans (back home style) causing everyone to stink. Avoid avoid avoid

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience at GYMVMT. The place is super clean and trainers are awesome. I would recommend to anyone…

Fantastic experience: Enjoy going to GYMVMT, the staff there nice people. Emma is great and goes above and beyond for all of the members

Negative experience: My experience with this gym has been wordy. I joined not long ago but never went. They keep charging me and won't let me cancel without going in person. Not recommended and I hated it

Fantastic experience: Great gym & layout. Friendly staff & the group exercise trainers are great! You never feel intimidated and everyone is welcome.

Positive experience: Good gym. I have been a client for 2 years. Gym itself is kept quite clean but the clientele is terrible with public washroom cleanliness, surprising when we are all grown adults. I find myself picking up tp left on the floor in the stalls as well as pt left on the counters quite often. This issue is beyond the staff as they have cleaners on site daily. The odd piece of equipment needs to be multiplied. Ex, every gym should have more than one smith machine (this one could use at least 3). Despite those things, this remains my favorite gym in the area (I've tried them all). The staff is always friendly, especially Emma, she is always smiling and is a great part of the team here.

Positive experience: Great place Most of the staff and trainers are welcoming and personable....also some great equipment.

Fantastic experience: Came in from out of town and got a day pass. Had everything I needed and then some. Great place. If I'm ever in town again I'll be back.

Positive experience: I held a membership at this Gymvmt location for over a year; however, swapped recently to a competitor. The staff at this gym are quite knowledgeable but the equipment and machine are all slowly aging out. The treadmills are continuously broken and out of service for days and require a technician for repair. Once repaired, they are out of services within a few short days after.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member for about a year now, and I’ve never had a negative experience. The gym is always clean and the staff are super friendly and helpful. Plus Caitlin and Lori have the best spin classes so I’d highly recommend trying their classes! They cater their classes to all skill levels so whether you’re new to spin or a regular their classes are for you :)

Fantastic experience: Great business and great staff good gym experience

Fantastic experience: Amazing place to train, staff are very helpful and friendly they even know me by name (shout out to Nelson Cassiy and Bailey). Also very clean.

Fantastic experience: Great gym to attend. They a good selection of equipment and free weights. I highly recommend attending the group fitness classes as all the instructor are amazing.

Negative experience: I've started working out this year at gymvmt. I love the staff here, they always greet me with a smile. Nevertheless, I find Emma different from the others she doesn't greet me or look at me. I would appriciate if her personality can change.

Fantastic experience: I only come here for kristen and emma, truly the lights of gymvmt.

Fantastic experience: The staff is very friendly!! Look forward to coming to the classes getting results!

Fantastic experience: Kensington YEG location!! The staff are always inviting and helpful and this place is kept SUPER clean. Best location in YEG

Fantastic experience: Genuinely love this location, Emma always greets with a warm welcome and staff is extremely friendly with everyone!

Fantastic experience: David is the best dude in the biz! Friendly and always smiling! Recommend to anyone and everyone!

Fantastic experience: This is a great gym environment, community, and the receptionists Julia and Mia are very kind and welcoming.

Fantastic experience: Love this gym people are so friendly! Emma is so sweet and always brings a smile every morning when I come at 5am!

Fantastic experience: I love this gym location. Great environment with a large variety of equipment. Julia, Mia, David, and Jhadina are very friendly and welcoming.

Fantastic experience: Great place to workout, Emma is always super friendly and goes out of her way to remember clients names. Awesome atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: This gym is absolutely fantastic I’ve been coming here for well over 2 years now and everyone is super welcoming and friendly. Special shout out to Mia for being a very responsive front desk employee!

Fantastic experience: Great gym environment! A vast majority of staff are nice and always interactive. Wide variety of machines

Fantastic experience: Such a nice place, has the enough equipment for enjoy my workouts. Everything is always clean and organized. The staff around is pretty kind.

Fantastic experience: This is hands down the best gym I've ever attended. I've been going to Gold's Gym for near half a year now, I've tried a cramped community gym, and another large chain-brand gym, Fitness World, and I've trained at home as best I could for years before I could afford a gym membership, but GYMMVT has stuck in my mind as a fond memory, and I was only there for a month. Five stars, give 'er a try, and I can guarantee you, you will not be disappointed by GYMMVT. P.S. Local to Alberta, too!

Fantastic experience: Gymvmt Northgate one of the Beautiful ladies gym. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted with a welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff. Overall, Gymvmt provides a welcoming and inclusive environment where members can pursue their fitness journey with confidence and support.

Fantastic experience: Staff are so sweet! David was really helpful when I was asking about upgrading my membership!! Mia & Julia are amazing receptionist’s !! They also have a really cool drink fridge!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of this gym since it opened. It has everything I need equipment wise, it is close to home and the hours suit my schedule. They have a variety of group classes and you can also sign up for personal training if you want. And the staff are very friendly and helpful if you have questions!

Fantastic experience: Great gym with large variety of equipment and amazing classes available! Employees are always super friendly and go above and beyond for all members. Love the spin studio!

Fantastic experience: This gym has been my home for 5+ years and I love every bit of it. It’s my home away from home. Garrett is the manager and he is fantastic. Handles all problems with ease and quickness. The girls to sign you up are also always sweet and amazing ♥️

Positive experience: Long time member but concerned about the culture here. Lots of great people and staff overall, but I’ve heard racist rants against minorities and Jews, and wild conspiracy theories about COVID. Manager informed but she said people had a "right to their opinions." But these opinions have descended into violence and even police presence. New manager seems better so hopefully zero tolerance in future.

Fantastic experience: Great facility! Big and plenty of space to work out and not feel crammed. Great class selection too! I’ve done PT with Stephanie and Dylan and really enjoyed both and definitely say results!

Fantastic experience: Best gym period, warm welcome, great people, the ABSOLUTE BEST staff of all time, and ALOT of benches. would 100% recommend this gym GYMVMT . . . Also Emma & Mia? best receptionists quote me

Negative experience: The gym is nice, however, canceling your membership is a nightmare! 4 months of emailing and phone calls, requested cancellation forms and to pay the cancelation fee multiple times while they drag things out as long as possible to get as much money as they can from you. They're crooks, 100%.

Fantastic experience: Her Gymvmt Beacon is one of the most beautiful all women's gyms in Calgary. When you walk in you are greeted by smiling faces at the front desk. The gym is stylishly designed with state of the art workout equipment, with a special area just for the booty! The gym is open, bright, spacious and clean. The best part are the people just enjoying their workout. There is a sense of community where the focus is on womans health, wellness and strength training. The fitness consultants and personal trainers are kind, caring, knowledgeable professionals who are willing to help you to be your best no matter what your goals. Oh and if you want classes they have those too, from Zumba, yoga, to full throttle strength and more
