Fantastic experience: It’s my first time going to the gym. I like that this gym has separate areas for what you want to do (cardio, weights and stuff) and the admin/front was super helpful and friendly. I purchased their 15 punch cards and will definitely buy the monthly pass!

Fantastic experience: why do you always close an hour and a half early edit: i misunderstood the staffed hours and i apologize. it has always been a pleasure to be a member of this gym :)

Fantastic experience: Came to FSJ for a week of work and stumbled upon this gem of a local gym. Good size weight room with separate rooms for cardio and classes. Flexible memberships as well (I was able to get a one week pass for a good price). Gym is clean, other gymgoers are super friendly, and the staff are awesome. Super cool culture here as well. I absolutely will be back the next time I’m in town.

Thank you so much! We are glad you liked it! We are like family around here! Please come back anytime!

Positive experience: The gym has all the equipment you need, including a ton of leg machines which is usually a weak spot at most gyms. Decent prices and soon to be 24/7. Also the vibe is what I like the most, 99% of people here work out, rather than take pictures of themselves for the gram every 2 mins.

Positive experience: The staff are excellent. The gym has everything you need. There are benches that need to be restored or discarded. There is a lot of equipment in a tight area, so you may notice clutter at times. I'm a patient man and I'm told renovations are underway.

Fantastic experience: This is FSJ’s “old school” gym: no flashiness, no marketing schemes or gimmicks, just good old-fashioned iron. People come here to TRAIN!

Fantastic experience: I really enjoy working out and purchasing supplements and meals here when I'm visiting Fort St. John. Contrary to what some are saying on here, I really enjoy that there isn't loud music at The Gym. I find my exercise time personal and meditative, so sometimes I like things quiet. Otherwise, I like to throw on my own headphones and workout to the music I like. The only reason the place lost a star for me is the cardio equipment is older and many of the cardio machines don't work. Also some of the treadmills have a gnarly habit of shocking you while you're running. Even so, I will continue coming here as I prefer local gyms over big chains :) Edit: Literally the day after I posted this, the staff let me know that new cardio equipment would be arriving the next week, so I added the 5th star.

Positive experience: Has a lot of equipment, but some are out of order. Could use a better/motivating atmosphere. (Better/loud music and whatever) and Wi-Fi definitely! But overall, quite a good gym

Negative experience: Used to buy my supplements there but the staffs attitudes were the worst towards me, - sorry if I just come in to buy protein powder once a month and don't take out a membership but you could at least try to greet potential customers with a fake smile and cheerful hello. This isn't L.A.,heck,it's not even Van and you're not celebrity trainers so lose the snobbish attitude,or lose business.
