Global Fitness & Racquet Centre

Positive experience: I have been going to this gym for a few months now. It has a ton of machines, but not very organized and needs more space to do more free weights and workouts. The classes are great and the group fitness leaders always have such motivational energy. I just had a bad experience with a staff member at the front desk, so I believe some staff expectations should be gone over.

Negative experience: Lots of machine, great community. Give me a full day and 5 of your staff and I’ll rearrange the machine into sections that make more sense. Going around 2 floors looking for machines that should be near each other. You have the ability to be a 5 stars + gym. Some reorganization is required.

Fantastic experience: It’s a good gym but I’m leaving this review because of this blonde girl staff member. She was so nice to me and went above and beyond. I had forgotten something and it was already after hours and she stayed behind just to ensure I got my belongings back! I always felt welcomed here at the gym but now I feel especially cared for. Great place and even better staff.

Fantastic experience: This place is simply the best they even fix their roofs! And they listen to customer feedback

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym, has more than enough of what you need. Huge space. Staff is great. My go to gym in Kelowna Solid pricing too Would strongly recommend

Positive experience: Lots of squat racks, benches and deadlift platforms and tons of machines and free weights to use, this place will get the job done and has everything you need. Lots of equipment is old and worn however, taking away the eccentric portion of the movement, or there’s no tension or ROM. Not as inclined to use the sauna/hot tub because unclothed old men and the price is a little steep to me. That being said I love the gym and would say it’s a good place to go, the atmosphere and staff are excellent just needs a little updating.

Fantastic experience: The yoga classes at Global are fantastic! One of the instructors Kate is absolutely amazing. I love going to her weekly hatha classes. Darcia’s rope yoga is also a favourite. There’s a variety of yoga classes and it’s just a great gym overall. I recommend you check them out!

Positive experience: Expensive

Negative experience: Its a gym, its got equipment so that's a plus. But for the membership price you'd expect things like, new equipment, and stuff that's not constantly out of order. Or a water fountain that functions or at the very least isn't giving out warm water. Not to mention the constant leaking from the pipes, buckets everywhere when it rains. Overall its an ok gym but for over $50 per month its a little ridiculous

Positive experience: I like the gym but man could the equipment use an update. The cables don’t glide nicely and the machines are missing weight adjuster pins… some seats on machines are a struggle to adjust. The space is nice though, two floors is awesome and they do have lots of good amenities

Negative experience: Canceled my membership recently. Been training for 15 years, never have I seen a gym with more equipment and plumbing issues than this one. 60 bucks a month and I feel limited to what exercises I can do, what cardio machines I can use, and even the cleanliness of the facility. If I could give less than one star i would.

Fantastic experience: Good

Fantastic experience: They helped my IT solution!

Negative experience: It’s disappointing that I have to write this review as Ive tried to cancel my membership from October 2023 with valid government Id showing my address in Alberta. It's frustrating when a gym fails to honor cancellation requests, especially when providing valid identification. The persistent charges despite your efforts reflect poorly on their customer service and raise concerns about their business practices. I continue to get automatically charged to this date. In addiction, Ive called the gym numerous times to talk to the manager and was told the only way to contact is email.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, did a drop in over the holidays. Front end girl (blond girl) was super helpful and bubbly. Luv the space and size of the gym and all the equipment.

Fantastic experience: Great gym with fabulous classes. and very well priced.

Negative experience: Staff mock and ridicule gym goers AND THEIR OWN PERSONAL TRAINERS behind their back and don't have the decency to wait until they're out of earshot. Don't waste your time here, the equipment isn't good enough to justify the price.

Positive experience: It's like going back in time to the 1990s. Personally, I enjoy the classic vibe.

Fantastic experience: Huge, clean gym. Tonnes of great equipment. Friendly staff and clientele. Lots of fun classes available. Beautiful yoga space too

Fantastic experience: Chief instructor Mike, giving combative classes exclusively at Global fitness,book your free trial class and let's get you upgraded

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Definitely needs another pec deck machine *hint hint*

Fantastic experience: Amazing facility.

Fantastic experience: Pleasant staff members.

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, clean.

Negative experience: derelict shic. simple cashcow biz

Fantastic experience: Great place, good people.

Fantastic experience: Finally good gym no Lunk alarm tho

Fantastic experience: Great place, Asia Snook is awesome!

Negative experience: Terrible contracts. Old equipment. Everyone is always filming and wearing almost nothing.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Kelowna! Great yoga and fitness classes too

Negative experience: Not a fan of the equipment, old rusty machines that have seen better days

Fantastic experience: Excellent facility, tons of variety, staff is always easy to talk to and do their best to help!

Fantastic experience: Great Gym, great staff, and lots of work out machines and lots of spay

Fantastic experience: The biggest and best gym in Kelowna! I've been to them all and Global is number 1.

Negative experience: The worst run gym I have encountered in over 30 years! Dirty,unsafe, rules not enforced and a manager who clearly does not respond to issues dealing with disability.Avoid at all costs.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, very spacious, a lot of machines and equipments. Large changing rooms.

Positive experience: Good gym with a varied, but young, positive atmosphere. Staff are friendly and repairs are made relatively quickly.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, luv your staff (front-end girl named Faith always friendly & greets me with a smile, she makes awsome smoothies. Staff are super helpful. They have a big selection of gym equipment. Spin class is fun, a beautiful yoga area. Overall, it's a great gym. The general vibe is friendly.. all types there for sure.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Global for over a year now and I love it! The space is huge with multiple pieces of equipment and the classes are great! They go above and beyond for their clients as well, example being setting up bleacher seating for the squash tournament. Keep it up Global Staff!

Fantastic experience: Gym is sickkkk

Positive experience: Was not there

Positive experience: Lots of equipment and not so busy when I come

Negative experience: if you close at 7 on sundays, maybe don't close the door at 6?

Positive experience: Decent gym lots of very old equipment that needs so maintenance. Lots of redundant machines. Could use a few more peckdeck machines but side from that the gym is huge.

Negative experience: It’s a classic Kelowna gym. However, in comparison to other facilities now in the city it is severely lacking. Dirty. Old equipment. Bad layout. Unclear business model - if any. Building screams “it’ll work”

Negative experience: As a long time member, I resigned. Decent facility, however in need of a major facelift. The staff are generally horrible and unprofessional and robotic, bordering on creepy! Customer service is lacking managerial direction. Some staff are caring but that’s rare. Unfortunate that many people feel this is the best facility in Kelowna.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Kelowna. Clean workout space, multiple squash and tennis courts, friendly/welcoming staff. Two levels of equipment with turf upstairs for all you cross-fit people. Been coming to this gym since 2001 and has always been my go-to. Did I mention the steam room and dry sauna?

Fantastic experience: Great staff. Sure the facility is huge and the new updates are impressive, but it's the quality people on staff that really make this gym stand out. From the front desk staff to the personal trainers and class instructors, Global Fitness is a great place to be. On those days where you are 50/50 on working out, the atmosphere and people at Global makes you want to go.

Fantastic experience: Love this gym . I decided to go back to gym few months ago and team from GoodLife Kelowna was nothing but supportive, friendly faces at the front like Zoe, Maria signed me up and it was great experience, training with Jeff is great, he is wealth of knowledge in fitness and of course in my first week of working out , Christina and Noris and Jeff ( management) introduced themselves and offered their assistance in anything I would need ! Great job GoodLife keep the team spirit going . I’m

Fantastic experience: Love my gym!!

Fantastic experience: The greatest place to workout in Kelowna

Fantastic experience: I usually go to Global for Squash, and I really like it. Staff are very friendly, and the gym is always clean.

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best gym in town. The staff is super friendly and polite. They offer the best facilities. Probably have all the equipment x3 so never have to wait for anything even during busy hours. They have squash courts, ping pong tables and indoor tennis courts. If you don’t work out here you are missing out.

Positive experience: Really cool massive facility, so much equipment! Only complaint is no windows and the paint smell. One of the better gyms in town hands down!

Fantastic experience: Global 4 life

Fantastic experience: LOVE THIS GYM

Fantastic experience: Awesome. Thx!

Fantastic experience: First class facilities operated by a dedicated and caring staff

Fantastic experience: Tons of room, great staff, clean facility. Multiple stories for all workout regimes

Negative experience: The management of this Gym is terrible by changing so many rules of tennis booking. They said something today and change next day. Don't trust what they say . It will be changed next day.

Positive experience: great gym, love working out there. every machine you could want, great gym for the price!

Negative experience: So "Due to COVID" I cannot drop in, one time, or do a week long trial to try a gym i've never been too, BUT, if i PAY a $100 dollar sign-up fee, PLUS a $68 dollar monthly fee, I am MORE than welcome to come and spread my germs as much as I want for an entire month, no questions asked? "because we have to be careful?" Logic is absent here, but the money speaks clearly.

Positive experience: It is great to be back at Global. Although there is a few added restrictions due to the pandemic, it is still a great place to go for a workout. There is more than enough equipment and the staff are always friendly and willing to assist.

Fantastic experience: Recently switched to this gym after growing tired of the long lines and overcrowding at World Gym. It's a bit more expensive, but Global Fitness offers a student rate and has a vast assortment of machines and free-weights. During non-peak hours I able to access whatever machine I want without waiting, which is a top priority for me when working out.

Negative experience: One time we all arrive at 5:30 only to find the front doors locked. No one was there. It was the least professional situation I have ever encountered. Now they have a very disrespectful front desk staff. It used to be pretty good but Alex is beyond the pale terrible at customer service. I forgot my boots and had to wear my clean indoor shoes from the cramped parking lot to the gym on a dry day. After I entered the gym she asked I change my shoes even though the shoes are clean and dry. Global Gym selectively enforces their rules. They let their favorite instagram customers do whatever they want such as slamming weights around for no reason. Regular people are treated poorly in my experience.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member for 3 years, and this place is amazing in every possible way

Fantastic experience: Great gym with a good staff. Always clean. Some equipment is getting a little older but still functional.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym. Great staff and the few members I've interacted with are Friendly and welcoming. Excellent facility, two floors of weight equipment and enough treadmill equipment to go around.

Fantastic experience: The gym has huge space with lots of different activities/equipments for everyone's interest, would highly recommend especially if you want to get into new things!

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym has everything u need especially if ur new great equipment and great staff great showers and very clean

Fantastic experience: Man, talk about a HUGE gym!! The staff are great (cori & asia are amazing) 12/10 would workout legs here again

Fantastic experience: If I could rate this club more than 5 stars I would. It's the best in Kelowna by far. Great atmosphere and extremely friendly staff. I've also made a few friends, from going here, and continue meeting really nice people all the time while using the facility. The juice bar is awesome and prices are great also. Love this gym a lot!

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best gym in kelowna!! Staff is awesome and the place is huge.

Fantastic experience: I have been coming here since moving back, they keep the facility clean and organized. I feel safe working out here, the time slots work for me and happy the showers are back open. I really like the amount of space and equipment this gym offers and the allowance for Med Ball Slams

Fantastic experience: Global has great hours and I love the huge variety of options for fitness they have available. Tons of cardio and weight equipment so always something available. And a great smoothie and coffee bar!

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Kelowna. I've been working out at this gym for the last 5 years. They follow an excellent route cleaning schedule and being open until 10:30pm works great with my schedule. The gym has lots of space and fitness equipment on both floors. The machines are well maintained and always available to be used. All the staffing are awesome, Nick and Jordan are super friendly and knowledgeable behind the desk. 10/10

Fantastic experience: Really good gym lots of machines to workout on hot tub is warm and nice has multiple showers over all an amazing gym for a good price. With an amazing group of staff

Fantastic experience: Global Fitness is an incredible asset to the residents of Kelowna. It is extremely professionally managed, and the atmosphere is very welcoming for people of all athletic abilities. In particular, the squash group is always happy to see new members getting into the sport. No other facility in Kelowna even comes close to offering the range of options for keeping fit well having a great time!

Fantastic experience: Very awesome gym best in kelowna that I've tried.. two floors and loads of machines and reasonable prices aswell!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been working out at Global for over a year now and I have recommended it to everyone I know! I love the culture, the amount of machines they’ve got, the staff are great, as well as the amenities you get for a great price! Keep up the good work Global!

Fantastic experience: I have went to Global for about 5 years and it has always been a pleasure. I switched from another gym in town and would never go back. It has tons of space and the staff do a great job. I would definitely recommend it.

Fantastic experience: I switched from Body and soul gym to Global and what a difference! Amazingly clean gym. Has literally everything you need. Staff couldn’t be more professional or helpful. If something is broken they fix it immediately. Other patrons are focused and considerate, especially with the covid laws. They have a room you can book to be mask free in. If there’s a better gym anywhere in the world, I’d be surprised! The only thing I could think of to make it better would be if it was lake front so we could swim after a workout.

Fantastic experience: Gym is always very clean. I usually come at the busy hours of the day and there’s so much area and equipment that there is always room to workout and use whatever you want. Been to gyms all over Canada and nothing seems to quite compare after spending years here.

Fantastic experience: Ive been going to Global for over a year now and its been great! The front end staff are always helpful and say hi to everyone who walks in the door. The juice bar has lots of options and they always have some great options for healthy meals and protein snacks. Would highly recommend Global to any of my friends :)

Fantastic experience: THE ABSOLUTE BEST GYM IN KELOWNA!! Besides being the biggest gym with the most class options in Kelowna, they also have tennis, pickleball, and basketball courts for member use. The team they have in place is nothing less than exceptional, always there to help and provide any information needed. They have dealt with everything that is Covid-19 with the highest standards possible, and were able to allow us to get back to "normal" with a smooth transition back into the gym. The change rooms are always cleaned and fully stocked with a sauna and hot tub to use while you're there!! I genuinely look forward to my daily workouts at this facility! Keep up the great work Darcia, Asia and the entire team at Global Gym!

Fantastic experience: A gym thats finally for the members! The most friendly staff the second you walk in to the best equipment! Everything is always up-kept and the gym is clean. Not just Kelowna, but one of the top Canadian gyms period!

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Kelowna! Huge selection of different equiptment and everything is doubled which means you never have to wait to use a machine. To top it off the staff is full of amazing people that are super friendly and always ready to help out! 100% recommend

Fantastic experience: I had signed up for a 3 month membership before the pandemic hit. Once it hit and the gym closed down I had only used 1.5 months of my membership. Due to some injury and life happening I haven't been able to get back until recently. I had been emailing the GM and was asking questions about my membership as it had already been paid for she assured that i could continue to use my 1.5 month almost a year later. I am so grateful for the incredible service and clear communication. Not only that but I love the facility.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, lots of space and not a lot of people. Reasonable memberships as well

Fantastic experience: Great experience! Gym COVID procedures are awesome and is always being throughly cleaned. Feel very safe working out here

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to this gym for about 3-4 years and wouldn’t consider any other gym. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Plus the atmosphere is great. Nice equipment and don’t always have to wait to get on something. Love it here.

Fantastic experience: Super clean. Bald guy is always cleaning give that man a raise! Huge workout areas, very spacious. Awesome gym.

Fantastic experience: I have been training for around the last 6 years and in the past 2 or so it has become my life. When I made the switch over I knew immediately that this was the perfect gym. The overall size and amount of activities available is fantastic. It is by far the best gym in the Okanagan whether you are a body builder or simply want to get in better shape. The staff is super friendly and professional. They make you feel like you are part of the family and belong at the gym no matter who you are. I highly recommend this gym and so far have had many friends change over and they have no plans of leaving anytime soon

Fantastic experience: Love Global, amazing staff and classes.

Fantastic experience: Big gym and good machines!

Fantastic experience: Awesome place to workout 100% recommend

Fantastic experience: Great gym awesome staff

Positive experience: Indoor racquet sports and all the equipment you would need at a gym
