Our comment from FitFit Canada about Gym Nation:
Gym Nation, located in Fort McMurray, is renowned for its exceptional facilities and community spirit. Many users have praised the friendly and dedicated staff, highlighting the welcoming atmosphere created by staff members like Maci, Macey, and Brittany, who are noted for their delicious smoothies and excellent customer service.

Cleanliness is a consistent point of appreciation, with many users noting that the gym is always tidy and well-kept.
However, there are some areas for improvement. A few users reported issues with certain cardio machines being outdated or out of order, leading to suggestions for upgrades to the equipment. Additionally, parking can sometimes be a hassle due to its location, and some have mentioned the need for better air circulation within the gym.

Gym Nation: Opinions
Negative experience: This is the worst gym I have ever been to in my years of training they won’t turn the ac on so it’s 100 degrees all the time it’s always packed they have so much eqipment that never gets used so there is line ups at everything you want to use the staff is rude and not helpful at all I went for 1 week and left angry everytime!
Fantastic experience: Great comfortable vibe in this place, smuly staff that are cool and great equipment. Pleasure to use your facility. Good. Good, Good..
Fantastic experience: Awesome equipment. Great atmosphere, probably the best gym I've been to.
Negative experience: $24 for drop in is outrageous. The layout is very odd and it is so cramped in there, you can barely get by some of the machines. Lots of pads and handles were ripped and in need of repair. It also smells terrible and is incredibly hot inside…you will be sweating bullets after your first set from the heat. Do yourself a favour and just head over to Mac island for a much better experience
Fantastic experience: Reese at gym nation has the best customer service that I have experienced at any gym. She is alway willing to help out if a any issue arises.
Fantastic experience: Lot's of respect for this establishment and its member base. The last several months I have been working with a friend and helping him rehabilitate through a very serious stroke. Once I felt ready enough to take him to the gym, our journey started at gym nation. It's only been a few months in the club, yet, I am incredibly impressed with the staff (they're always so friendly), management (clearly the culture they want is showing), and the member base. My friend uses a cane to get around the gym, and at times can be quite slow(good ole leg day), yet, members don't seem bothered by it. Its frequent that members will actually come and talk with the two of us for a bit before continuing on. I truly love the culture and people at this gym. I 100% recommend this facility to anyone.
Fantastic experience: I received some of the sweetest customer service today by Maci. She made me a very delicious smoothie and put a smile on my face! god love her
Fantastic experience: Macey was the best person to deal with she was very nice and professional at her job.made me an amazing smoothie!
Fantastic experience: Been here about a month definitely best gym in the city
Negative experience: I used to workout in gym nation training 2 girls, and recently a third. I train the girls without doing the workout, so I did not register. The receptionist allowed it and that’s why the girls registered. After 2 weeks, we were asked to leave the gym, or I would have to pay- even though I am NOT working out. I refused to make a payment and I was abruptly asked to leave the gym. At that moment we had to leave even though the girls paid for the full month. This is unfair, unjust and racist.
Hey Reem, unfortunately to be a trainer at the gym you must be employed with Gym Nation. Our facility has standards and when it comes to training and having members put trust in someone using our facility. There are proper routes to take to become and insured trainer and those were not taken. It states in the waiver and membership contract our training policy. Sorry for the misunderstanding with reception. Have a great day
Fantastic experience: Approachable and helpful members… Great, friend and approachable staff members… Clean, tidy, well-maintained equipments, Some hiccups with some threadmills but overall, machines are maintained Clean restroom
Thank you Mae! We appreciate your honest input regarding the cardio equipment. We're currently assessing our equipment and planning updates to ensure everything meets our high standards. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us make improvements.
Fantastic experience: Great gym but desperately needs fans/some sort of air circulation
Fantastic experience: Here's a draft for your Google review of Gym Nation: --- ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gym Nation is an exceptional gym that truly embodies a sense of family and community. I was nervous when starting thinking it was only for bodybuilders, I was wrong. I have met so many great people and everyone is excepting and willing to help. From the moment you walk in, you are greeted by the happy and kind staff who always go out of their way to make you feel welcome. The facility is always clean and well-maintained, making it a pleasure to work out here. Highly recommend! --- Feel free to adjust it as needed to better match your personal experience.
Thank you Chelsey ! We adore our members and strive to provide the best environment for growth and confidence building!

Much apprecaited Tim ! Thank you for taking the time to review. Much like our staff, we have the best members ! Brittany makes a mean shake as well... Best in Fort McMurray I would say
Negative experience: I got a three month trial to this gym. Was subject to atrocious, disgusting remarks about my body and appearance by several male patrons, as well as personal and professional attacks and defamation. I reported it to management and the response I got was apathetic to say the least. Won't be renewing my membership.
Hey Serena, As the only manager, we have not spoken but feel free to reach out to me. I am here 9am to 4pm Monday to Friday to discuss any issues as this is the first I am hearing. This is not something that has ever been an issue here so I would love to stop it as soon as possible. Chat soon !
Fantastic experience: Very nice staff and gym and great atmosphere as well as awesome smoothies.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend! Very motivating and uplifting environment that makes me want to keep coming back.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, lots of equipment, friestqff, good protein smoothies
Fantastic experience: Love the diversity and atmosphere of this gym! Great variety of equipment. A big thank you to the hard working staff who manage the desk well and keep the place very tidy. Love the yoga class with Kait. I wish there were more classes. She has a great class that's included for members. I'm surprised more members don't attend. A big part of training is stretching it out.
Positive experience: Best gym in town. Amazing equipment. But if you are here short term for work they gouge you, $25 to drop in or $115 a month vs $70 a month if you commit lol.
Fantastic experience: Love this place
Fantastic experience: Great equipment and wicked staff
Fantastic experience: Great environment, solid music choice.
Fantastic experience: great gym tons of equipment great selection of dumbbells
Fantastic experience: Best gym in fort Mac by far, there's nowhere I'd rather work out at !
Fantastic experience: Came here from Edmonton to work. Came to this solid gym. Quite enjoyed the experience lots of equipment and weight. Would 100% come back for another sick pump!!
Positive experience: It's a nice space with a wide variety of machines alot of the machines are wore out the pads are cracked, there's resistance on the cable machines all the cardio machines are out of date and not in proper working order, for the price you pay to use this gym they should update their cardio machine all the steppers are trash treadmills have broken handles the exercises bikes the touch screens don't work..there's not many spray bottles or clothes around to wipe down equipment
Positive experience: Tonnes of equipment, great if you’re into bodybuilding. Bathrooms needs work though.
Positive experience: Rope kinda speaks for itself. $60/month plus admin and annual fees. Several others mentioned the lack of maintenance on the equipment.
Negative experience: Zero maintenance, 3 decent employees, half the cardio machines are broken and washroom urinals have been down for weeks. Cables pins are loose and will give out with enough weight. Come see for yourself what the most expensive gym in fort mac has to offer
Fantastic experience: Best shakes, even better staff
Fantastic experience: super fun loving environment, with amazing staff!!
Fantastic experience: Awesome facility, and fantastic staff!!!
Fantastic experience: Excellent range of equipment. Good people. Great gym.
Fantastic experience: Maddy and Brittany gave some amazing service, my favourite gym- definitely recommend getting your membership here if you looking at new gyms to sign up for
Negative experience: If I didn’t live so close being convenient after work I would go to Mac Island. Cable machines been broken for months on end, hamstring machines - the back rest has been loose for months. Most expensive gym with 0 maintenance. Bunch of roid heads who do not care about these things. Where is our membership money going??
Fantastic experience: I’ve had nothing but good experiences at the Nation! The Staff ~ Maddy, Brittany, Pam, Nicole and all the other amazing staff are always welcoming with a smile and encouraging you to show up for yourself. If you ever need help with something (whether you can’t figure out a machine, or simply need a workout idea) they will always be there to help you. The Machines ~ There is a very large selection of good quality machines! Even during busy times there is still lots of availability for things! The Environment ~ I love how open this gym is, it’s large and has lots of windows so it’s so nice and bright inside unlike some other gyms in town. It’s also always so clean! Doesn’t matter the time of day you go, I’ve found I always see an employee making sure it’s in great condition. The Gym-goers ~ This gym can get very busy, I’ve found this is mainly after shift changes. But the other people that go there are always friendly and willing to lend a hand to help you achieve your best workout.
Negative experience: This is the worst gym ever I have been to with mostly broken machines. Me and my wife tried 3 machines and landed on 4th one which was noisy and were out in 10 mins. 10 years old machines and they are not doing anything about it. They will charge you before even looking at the gym and will try to bind you with a contract of 12 months. We were charged 58$ as drop in charges for going in and coming back in 10 minutes because of broken machines as we were there for cardio and upon asking for refunds they never want to refund us as they say it’s already in the system. We want to support local but if the local deals like this our beautiful town and people doesn’t deserve this sort of scamming. I wish the owner reads this and invests on this gym and uses my 58$ to fix the machines atleast
Negative experience: Not gonna lie it smells and is really expensive for how poorly it's maintained. Willing to make the drive to Mac Island over this place.
Fantastic experience: pam, nicole, abby, and the ginger, are some of the coolest folk i’ve had the absolute pleasure of meeting. this gym is at its best around 9:30 pm, please give my best to paul

Thank you Haris! Appreciate the good words and we are extremely proud of the fitness community here are Gym Nation. The support is phenomenal and respect always
Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this gym; there's a wide range of equipment, lots of friendly people and it's a great environment to be in!
Positive experience: Decent gym, however the equipment is not well maintained, many of the machine are not in good condition and they don’t bother repairing them. It’s also overcrowded, too many machines and the layout is super tight, not safe.
Fantastic experience: What more can you ask for? A place to feel accepted as you are. We all are here for the same reason...to better ourselves. Take it from me, looking for a knowledgeable, topnotch life changing experience? Hit coach Brittany up. She fixed my gut issues; helped me gain muscle, lose body fat and gave me a new chance at adding years to my life by guiding me to a healthier lifestyle. Weight loss to date...168 lbs. If I can do it, you can too! All the staff here gives me a reason to Need and desire to come to the gym. Besides I am kind of partial, its where I met the love of my life.
Thank you! Brittany is a great coach :) We are proud of all your accomplishments!
Negative experience: Most of the equipment don't work, the touch screen on most of the equipments is not working. it's been like that for a few months and they haven't fixed it, the maintenance is on low level. The design and air circulation is very poor, the second floor is significantly hotter than the first floor. So you sweat profusely on the second floor and then when you get to the first floor you are hit with cold air from the entrance door. Moreover, the layout of the equipments is not very safe, as some of them are located too close to each other or to the stairs
Thanks Anna, sorry about the inconvenience! We are expecting a new maintenance guy this week for cardio equipment which has been challenging to get someone up here. Currently looking at new cardio pieces as well as it is time to update. We cant redesign our space unfortunately and the layout we usually receive praise for with everything sectioned but we do appreciate the feedback
Negative experience: Worst management I've ever dealt with, gym smells like a sweaty a**crack and the machines are junk and broken. For 700$ a year I'd expect better. And make sure you don't have to cancel because you'll still be charged no matter the circumstances.... even if your dad passes and you move 7hrs to take care of your mom. Worst experience if I could give it negative stars I would
Fantastic experience: Absolutely love the environment that is built here, feels like one big family with how friendly all staff and members are. The equipment is the most in town, with a great variety for all areas of the body! Never want to leave when I get into the groove here
Positive experience: Very well equipped friendly people decent rates
Fantastic experience: Travel for work and always enjoy my workouts at this gym!! Great staff as well!
Fantastic experience: Lots of equipment. And lots of selection. It's got it's super busy times and slow times. But all in all a great gym
Negative experience: The good: -Helpful friendly staff -Lots of equipment, yes it’s probably the best gym in town, but that bar is set low to be honest. The bad: -Parking is trash as it’s in a busy mall right next to a sports bar. The only time is not bad is early morning. -Hours could be longer, especially earlier on weekends, it Fort Mac, you’d think you could get a workout before you shift on a weekend. Why not 24 hours? -Space is too small for the amount of equipment, at times it’s like trying to workout while shimmying past someone to get to the bathroom on a dash-8 turboprop -It’s usually a scavenger hunt to find the sanitizing bottles as there isn’t enough and no one returns then to the cleaning station, so some members don’t bother wiping down the equipment after use -The change room is way too small and your either tripping over people to get to your locker or standing and waiting for a little space, and it smells like the elephant pens at the Calgary zoo. -Lack of maintenance on the equipment and poor quality when the maintenance is done. -Poor lighting in several areas and the air conditioning is either nonexistent or not working. You will sweat from the heat before you’ll break a sweat from your workout.
Fantastic experience: Just started going tanning here and the workers are super nice!! You can tell the bed lights actually get changed frequently cause they’re really hot. It’s a good price for tanning because you don’t need to go in long to get results!

Positive experience: Great staff, very positive atmosphere
Negative experience: manipulative when it comes to prices, 1 year contract for 60 dollars a month but if you want monthly contract 160 that is crazy. Run away
