Mountain Fitness Center

Negative experience: I used to love going to this place. But recently it has been over run with children. 2-4 kids lingering around each machine. Even the functional side, a haven for working people who just want to get a workout in (which is advertised as 19+) has been shut for classes of middle school aged children at 7pm.

Fantastic experience: Super clean, has every piece of equipment needed. Super spacious, not crowded. Only gym I could find in the area with a week pass, which is super clutch for staying in shape during climbing or biking trips into Squamish!

Fantastic experience: I am enjoying my membership so far. Staff are friendly and the gym is kept clean.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym, never lets me down not to busy. All the equipment you need.

Positive experience: it's a decent gym, it could be so much more but it gets the basic needs met when it's not packed or one dude is hogging all the machines

Negative experience: Not happy with their customer service, and their super high registration fee is crazy, and then a cancellation fee as well, every other gym will pause a membership but they charge you instead

Negative experience: Terrible customer service. They sold multiple passes prior to Covid then would only honour them in a very short window when the gyms opened up again. Follow up: Please don’t interpret concerns as an attack. In fact, I found your gym staff excellent people. This is not an attack but I am concerned as I spent hundreds of dollars for nothing. Unfortunately your comment “failed to reach out” as I was accused is not accurate. I did reach out timely. I went in person to discuss. That was not logged nor did you mention it in your post. I was also told your management would likely be able to help due to the circumstances. That didn’t happen. At no time did Mountain Fitness initiate nor did they reach out in any way regarding the matter. I finally had to reach out again after my visit. Using technology this time as a face to face was not an option made available to me. Furthermore,I have not asked for indefinite extensions. I paid full price in good faith. Not once have I asked for a hand out. Only to receive the services I paid for in full. I did not ask for special favours nor do I. I didn’t even ask for indefinite extensions as implied by your post. Please don’t portray paying customers as being difficult. The matter is closed. If you wish to discuss it, please reach out in private. I tried but I only received a corporate response. I attempted to discuss and come to an amicable solution and was shut down. I understand your mind is made but please don’t spin it. Be well as I genuinely wish you well. All the best to you and your business.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Squamish!

Positive experience: Nice gym but not enough free weight benches. Always busy and pretty crowded. Fairly expensive. Some staff are very friendly.

Positive experience: Edit: Added additional star since management sent me an email and looked into the situation. Pros: Good large gym, lots of equipment, and group classes. Competitive pricing with other gyms Cons: The hold policy (due to injury/life events ect.) are not competitive, nor flexible at all for any extensions or credits. The hold is only valid on 6 and 12 month contracts - nothing else. Not on punch pass or month to month or annual. Most businesses nowadays have some sort of arrangements, so not competitive in that aspect - even if it’s their policy. Lost 8/10 passes due to sprained ankle - I realize that’s on me, but still affects my experience. **Correction that I bought the pass online (not in personal like originally thought) and it does say this on their website now which is good**

Fantastic experience: Best gym around Awesome staff and owner

Negative experience: I’ve enjoyed the gym, and the employees service for years. But just had a frustrating experience with the gyms owner, Chris. After having some credits expire on a punch card, I called to ask if there’s a way to extend. I ended up in a crazy dialogue, with the owner confusing me with a different customer, who he was frustrated with, so he dove into chatting in a needlessly caustic manor. He insinuated that I could be lying about the injuries that prevented me from using my credits in the last year, without asking for, or providing a pathway for showing proof. He was frustrated I wasn’t proactive, even though I had called on the day of expiry. I wish he/they had some customer service training, and deescalation training, to avoid a 25 minute chaotic conversation, where I had to communicate their errors to them, and de-escalate the conversation. He offered me 5/10 credits, which I appreciate. I just wish we didn’t both have to burn so much time and stress to simply get there.

Fantastic experience: Mountain Fitness Center is a really great gym. It's very spacious and well-equipped with everything you need. There's plenty of squat racks and benches and free weights—I never felt like there was a shortage and felt like I could access everything I wanted to use. The staff are really kind. I love how they have plenty of spray bottles and cloths so you can bring them around with you to clean equipment. Really recommend this place!

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Squamish

Negative experience: Half the treadmills don't work, most of the classes are in the middle of the day during the week, and there are no change rooms. The gym is small, and on some machines you have to pause your reps so people can walk around you. Honestly don't get the hype hah.

Fantastic experience: *** Amazing Gym *** Has a huge range of resistance machines, spotlessly clean bathrooms, a great cross-fit area, and tons of cardio equipment. Free parking, EV chargers, very reasonable pricing & flexible plans, and a really cool vibe. Helpful staff & friendly clientele. MTN Fitness offers FREE group fitness classes ranging from full-body circuit training to spinning, to yoga and even kickboxing-cardio style classes. I took several awesome circuit and spinning classes hosted by a great instructor; who is also a very accomplished competitive athlete. Really impressed; the best fitness classes I’ve taken. Great facility - thanks for letting me visit during my time in Squamish.

Negative experience: Tried this gym for quite some time. It is full of highschool teens and others who are not aware of proper gym etiquette. They tried to address this with an email sent out reminding users of gym etiquette like not camping a bench on their phone or yapping with a friend for 20 minutes, but it did not work unfortunately. Nice enough facility but quite small for the volume of people at all hours of the day. Unfortunately going to have to change to a bigger less busy gym

Fantastic experience: Great gym. They open very late on the weekends which is not ideal but they have good equipment and ambiance is motivating

Negative experience: Careful, expensive gym with sleezy practices. Paid for a 6 month plan, was charged for a seventh and denied any refund despite not using the gym in the last month. Was also double charged for my key fob and denied a refund despite providing proof.

Fantastic experience: Best Gym in Squamish. Great trainers and staff. Good vibe.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member at Mountain Fitness for 6 years and I can honestly say it’s the best environment to train, stay healthy and be in community. The gym itself has everything you need and more to strength train, cardio, functional train and also recover. The layout allows classes to take place without disrupting any individuals workout. Aside from the high quality equipment, fantastic layout and where the gym is located, the environment the management and training team have created is welcoming, fun, encouraging and safe. The staff are friendly and the management team, including Chris go above and beyond to ensure you can get everything you need out of your training journey. I have met many friends at Mountain Fitness that are now life long friends. The fun and friendly environment at the gym allows you to meet likeminded people. The views during the summer are spectacular, when the doors are all open you get floor to ceiling views of the surrounding mountains. I want to thank Chris and the Mountain Fitness team for continuing to run the best gym in town!

Fantastic experience: Excellent instructors and staff

Fantastic experience: Staff is extremely helpful and friendly ! They also have a great range of machines & the trainers are amazing and truly want whats best for you and push you to put everything you have into each workout. They make sure you’re doing each exercise properly and are very helpful with finding alternatives or substitutions if needed. I can see why this gym is the best in Squamish!

Fantastic experience: This is the best gym I’ve ever been to! It’s become my happy place :) the staff are so friendly, and I have an amazing trainer who has really helped me feel amazing in my body. Definitely the best choice in Squamish for a gym to go to regularly.

Negative experience: Nice facility. Strange policies around membership. Staff was unapproachable when I inquired about a policy that wasn't explained well enough and resulted in me paying double the drop in rate per visit. Not willing to help out a client that felt they were misguided and misinformed. Basically shown the door. Likely won't return to this facility.

Fantastic experience: BEST gym in the sea to sky!

Fantastic experience: This gym has everything I need and more. The functional fitness side is where I spend most of my time, the staff are very cool and it's kept nice and clean. My husband trains there and my in-laws use their personal trainers to help stay healthy & fit. My favourite part is when it's super warm outside and they roll up the big bay doors to let the cool mountain breeze in :)

Fantastic experience: Beautiful and well-equipped facility, friendly staff and atmosphere, overall an awesome gym! Always love coming back here when I’m home.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to mountain fitness for over 5 years. It feels safe, inclusive and has a sense of community. The classes are amazing - especially Emily’s strength training class. I’ve never once felt uncomfortable working out here.

Fantastic experience: Largest and best equipped gym in Squamish. Everything one could need to stay fit their way. CrossFit/ cross-training area, Olympic Lifting platforms, loads of cardio equipment, free weights, all the traditional machines, space to stretch and roll. Overall a very well maintained and organized gym.

Positive experience: Love this gym but so does everyone else in squamish. It's gotten busy during peak times but I've been fortunate enough to adjust my schedule to avoid the busy times. Staff are incredible. Facilities are great. Awesome community of members too.

Positive experience: Love this gym, clean, great equipment selection, good staff.

Fantastic experience: I struggle to find a gym that compares, amazing facility

Negative experience: Not a fan of this place anymore, especially the classes and the way some of the instructors manipulate the "first come first serve" reservation system. It says first come first serve, so if I've signed up before others, then I shouldn't be removed so someone on the waitlist can join. Thought I was going crazy but started taking screenshots of when I'd signed up. Anyway super dodgy behaviour and not cool. Also, the equipment is constantly broken (often with no signs) and you end up (for a class) having to kick someone off of the bikes in order to use them... this should be done the by instructor but a better idea is to have the class times posted up stairs so folks know when the spin bikes will need to be used... easy win here and mentioned soo many times to staff but nothing becomes of it.

Fantastic experience: We were visiting Squamish and got a weekly pass at mountain fitness center. It was a great experience. The gym was clean and well-maintained and the staff was friendly. They have variety of equipments were available.

Negative experience: Been be a member of This gym since November 2020. Gym did well with all precautionary measures with the pandemic which i respected and appreciated. Unfortunately however, over the last year I have found my appreciation of the gym decline. Seeing recent reviews I’m comforted to know that I’m not the only one, and perhaps there are many that don’t post reviews. I’m also hopeful that management will make changes after seeing member comments. Recently they sent out an email outlining “gym etiquette’. Good idea but I think that goes both ways for management; this morning i came to gym to find only 2 of 3 stationary bikes available working as one was broken, with no sign saying as such. Also 4 of 6 treadmills were broken. I feel this gym is operating beyond its capacities, perhaps management should consider re-evaluating how to maintain service delivery while looking to make more profit.

Negative experience: UPDATED 1/4/23: While cleanliness has improved, the etiquette is still pretty poor. Biggest gripe would be the personal trainers/contractors who repeatedly take up multiple racks and when you ask if you can use one, you’re told “no we are personal training” one trainer repeatedly does this, takes up a huge chunk of the turf side, and make you feel like you’re in the way. This behaviour is not only unprofessional but casts a poor light on the facility. I have given up and will not renew my pass when the time comes in the next few months. ———- I’ve been coming to this gym for a few years and today I reached my limit of frustrations. I got to the gym 2 hours after opening, no sanitizing bottle available even though the gym was not full, I was unable to use equipment due to lack of sanitizer. Signs all say to wipe down equipment when done. Weights are all over the place, not on racks, not in any sort of order. Staff standing around or working out. I have emailed in the past about car exhaust in the gym when the roller doors are open in the summer, but never heard back as well.

Positive experience: Joined in Summer 2022. At that time it was pretty good, not huge crowds, the open bay doors are a nice vibe. Fast forward to now and memberships have been oversold. The amount of volume in this gym between 3:00pm-9:00pm is bad....like really bad. Besides it being over capacity there is no gym etiquette. At times you are surrounded by high school students chilling on equipment, playing on their phones, and having no clue what they are actually trying to do. It reminds me of a community centre, or PE class in grade 10. The more you look around its apparent the gym has become a hangout, so many people aren't even in athletic attire. There are many ways to prevent a gym turning into something like this..... I will continue to go for now, but once my yearly membership is up for renewal I'll likely reconsider.

Fantastic experience: Great equipment and friendly staff one of the best gyms I’ve been to

Fantastic experience: I love this gym! Popular, but super high ceilings and great energy. I am excited to try the classes they offer as well! Would reccomend :)

Positive experience: Was okay. Some Faulty equipment, bubbling on the floor and holes in the wall. 20 dollars for a drop in seemed steep

Negative experience: Pros: -The hours are really good -It is relatively easy to find. -The week drop in pass is an ok deal for out of towners -ample parking -diverse amount of equipment -not very busy in the morning Cons: -everything about this space is cramped -the main floor has 2x as many machines as it should -navigating between machines is awkward -no locks for lockers, despite stickers inside indicating to return keys -cardio equipment is limited and upstairs, making dumbbell circuit training impossible -most of the bike are recumbent and only two ellipticals -the bathroom/change rooms are not very private and lack space to change or properly shower

Fantastic experience: This is by far the best gym in Squamish in my opinion. Great stuff ,clean spot lots of great up-to-date equipment.

Positive experience: Quality workout classes, individual areas, equipment, and shower facilities.

Fantastic experience: Great gym lots of equipment if you find the right time with little people you can get an amazing workout in.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, very well equipped, lots of space

Fantastic experience: Probably the most comprehensive gym in town. Super clean and with both gym and studio spaces as well..

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym. It has a variety of equipment and a great atmosphere and vibe. It’s a legit bodybuilder’s / athlete’s gym. It’s the kind of facility you’d see in the city. This gym is way better than it’s competitors in town.

Fantastic experience: My favourite gym in Squamish

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Especially for the price. Lots of different equipment. Even have a CrossFit style side. Now I just have to go more than once....

Fantastic experience: Really good gym with nice equipment variety and cleanliness. Also a good view to workout too! Will be back again.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, keep it a secret so the price doesn't go up. I really appreciate the Rogue powerlifting bars, rubber plates, and Deadlift platform.

Fantastic experience: Awesome fitness community. This is a well equipped gym with lots of space and tonnes of equipment. I’ve always had a great experience with my workouts and the staff, and like to thank Chris and his team for always welcoming me back!

Positive experience: My son is a member and thoroughly enjoys it!

Negative experience: WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE... did not anticipate the rude cussing of the girl working at the front counter when politely asked instructions on how use a weight machine for my kid..

Negative experience: Terrible staff that will treat you like garbage. Don't recommend.

Fantastic experience: Great facility, excellent equipment, courteous staff. Drop ins welcomed. Highly recommended. I wish this was my local gym.

Fantastic experience: I love this gym. Welcoming vibe. Something for everyone. Great Classes & Amazing trainers. I highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: Its a big Place with many machine that you can workout with the people here are very nice its a really good gym

Fantastic experience: This is by far the best gym in Squamish. The staff are all very helpful and friendly, just like the users of the gym itself! I really like the large amount of space in the gym because it never gets too crowded even with more than 20 people in the gym. I would also like to note that all of the equipment is top tier quality and that there is not a lot of wear on the machines as they are basically still brand new.

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere and staff. The classes are are challenging and always changing. The equipment is all in great condition. Stoked on this gym :)

Fantastic experience: My favorite gym that I've ever been to. They have everything you could need. Very sad that now that I've moved I can't go to this gym anymore.

Fantastic experience: 3 years at this amazing gym with excellent staff. The vibe is welcoming and modern. Mountain Fitness has been a key component in my life for personal and physical growth. Thank you Mountain Fitness!!

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Very organized, modern, nice people, good equipment...

Fantastic experience: Without a doubt the best gym in Squamish! the equipment, staff, and hours of operation are all on point. Thanks (:

Fantastic experience: Smoothies, awesome equipment, nice separate area for stretching/circuits, enough squat racks to go around, and Olympic lift platforms! What more could you want? Oh yeah, and the staff are great too

Fantastic experience: Great space in a convenient location. Plenty of options for free weights, machines, or stretching and body weight exercises. Friendly staff are very helpful and happy to answer questions. Nice aesthetic and clean. And they have a smoothie bar! For climbers in Squamish looking to train this is excellent as it is right next to the climbing gym. Would recommend.

Fantastic experience: Best gym for the price in Squamish. When we were members the were in the middle of an expansion which I believe was going to be a +19 area. Pretty cool merch, great operating hours, clean, and a smoothie bar make this gym the best in Squamish by far.

Fantastic experience: The functional fitness zone is incredible. It has everything that you need to get in shape. The rest of the gym has awesome top of line equipment.

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, great facility, and super clean. There are several different areas to accomodate groups of friends or solo folks wanting some space. Huge variety of classes offered throughout the day.

Fantastic experience: Great workout space, equipment is in flawless shape. Good value for money if you make use of the classes which are included in membership. Changing rooms are not very spacious, but oh well

Fantastic experience: Been going to this gym since it opened. It's an incredibly well stocked, clean gym with a huge array of equipment from free weights, machines, to modern spin bikes and classes. If you're looking for something talk to the front desk they probably have it. Hours are ridiculous. Holiday and wanna work out? They are probably open.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. The main area is a little crowded with machines but there's some great classes and the functional training area is amazing (occasionally closed for programs). Everyone has been really friendly so far!

Fantastic experience: Best gym I've ever been too:)

Fantastic experience: Plenty of space plus all the equipment you could ask for and more. Pretty much the dream gym!

Positive experience: The best gym in Squamish. I’ve been coming here for a week and it’s great. Would recommend.

Positive experience: It’s a good, I enjoy coming here often because it’s not too crowded and I can get my workout done without having to share equipment,

Fantastic experience: Haleigh is awesome! Great gym.

Fantastic experience: It’s good

Fantastic experience: Very clean nice equipment

Fantastic experience: Best place to workout

Fantastic experience: The staff is super friendly and helpful. Plus their smoothies are amazing!!

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough good stuff about this place. The vibe of this gym is friendly, professional and welcoming to any skill level. The equipment is new, and the space is kept clean and organized. I have also been attending various classes they provide with membership, and every different trainer has brought positive and fun classes and something unique to their sessions. Very happy to have found a gym of this caliber for such a reasonable membership price, and I’m stoked on their upcoming expansion!

Fantastic experience: Got the Garibaldi sunrise smoothie twice now: both times staff were really friendly and made the best smoothies in squamish!

Fantastic experience: Excellent staff, I'm an early riser and they're always there on time. Perfect space for the size of the community. The gear is new which is pretty great. I took a chance on the place when I first moved to Squamish (it was fairly new too) and I don't think I would go anywhere else.

Fantastic experience: Very clean, up do date gym. Never too busy. Bathrooms huge step up from any other gym I've been too. Equipment is all new and well cared for.

Fantastic experience: Super cool gym, well thought out layout and equipment choices. I travel often and always try out new gyms and this is one of the best I have ever been too. $2 dollar drop in after 930 on weekdays is a sweet deal. Props to the big guy with the glasses, he provided good service and offered to change the music for me.

Fantastic experience: Great gym and staff. Equipment is clean and has pretty much everything you could need.

Fantastic experience: After doing week long trials at the other gyms in Squamish, Mountain Fitness is hands down the best. Best facilities, best staff, and best rates.

Fantastic experience: Great gym with everything you need and friendly staff. I love that they open the big warehouse doors in the back so that you can have some fresh air and not miss out on nice weather :)

Fantastic experience: Very well maintained gym with a great atmosphere and an even better staff! Definitely would recommend.

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to Mountain fitness for over a year. I enjoy this facility because it has all the equipment you could ever need as well it offers work out classes for free. I now go to the classes as well as do free weights. They even now offer yoga classes. For the price you pay you cannot beat the ammenities and services. They even have a juice bar for after your workout. All the staff are very friendly and no major Egos here either. Great positive environment to work out in Highly recommend it.

Fantastic experience: Great facility even amazing staff. They are always looking for ways to help in whatever is necessary. Best gym in the sea to sky!

Fantastic experience: Mountain Fitness is a great facility with friendly and knowledgeable staff. It has a wide range of workout equipment and a welcoming environment!

Fantastic experience: Excellent front desk staff and personal trainers. I participate in the fitness classes and have many choices, convenient schedules and I am happy with the results. I did rehabilitation exercises after an injury and have made a full recovery. A well stocked training facility. Merv

Positive experience: Decent Little gym , they let you train in peach and ok ish' equipment. Pretty positive but 15$ drop in is over priced.

Fantastic experience: Great local gym!!

Fantastic experience: Super cool gym, well thought out layout and equipment choices. I travel often and always try out new gyms and this is one of the best I have ever been too. $2 dollar drop in after 930 on weekdays is a sweet deal.
