Westcore Training Centre: Opinions
Fantastic experience: totally happy with the training, it brings out the best in me.
Fantastic experience: I've been a member of Westcore for over 3 years, starting on Johnson St, then Cook St. and now in Sidney. Joining was the best decision I've ever made for my health and wellness! I've always been active, but never this consistent. I'm a retiree and I've seen big improvements in my strength, cardio and functional movement. The things I love the most: -welcoming and skilled trainers who adapt workouts as needed -lots of instruction and feedback on my form -scheduling through online booking, so no waiting -private pods with all the equipment I need right there -planned workouts based on my abilities and needs -clean and spacious environment -friendly and inclusive gym community -easy parking and dog friendly! If you are looking for a safe, results oriented, friendly and professional gym experience, Westcore is the place!
Fantastic experience: Nothing but positives to say about my experience with Westcore! Every trainer I’ve worked with has been so knowledgeable, kind and encouraging, especially throughout my pregnancy/postpartum experience. 10/10 reccomend
Fantastic experience: After procrastinating as long as I could I finally joined the Westcore Sidney location in June. Why did I wait so long. I'm in my sixties and have all the usual aches and pains including a total knee replacement that was done over a year ago. Even though it hurts to move I know it's the right thing to do and Avery and her staff have tailor made a program specifically for my challenges. Thanks Mike for showing me " no pain no gain" and thanks Avery for your patience as I work myself back into shape. Couldn't be happier.
Fantastic experience: This gym finally made exercise a regular part of my life. The training programs are really well designed and evolve with you. Sean and Jordan are great trainers and Sean’s sports Physio background has helped manage any soreness that has developed. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Amazing staff that help you with proper form and adapting the workouts to your skill level/injury needs. It’s the longest I’ve ever stuck with a program!
Fantastic experience: Westcore has been nothing short of fantastic for me! The trainers are top notch and always give me the push I need to do more. The workouts are pre-planned (but adjustable depending on personal needs), so I don't even have to think about them - I just show up and have a great workout. I love the online booking system and the personal pods. I am so much stronger than when I started 6 months ago, and the thing I love most is probably that there is ZERO ego! Everyone is kind and down to earth. My husband and 77 year old mom also attend, and it's been a very positive experience for both of them as well. I'm so grateful that they opened a location in my community (Sidney).
Fantastic experience: So happy to have joined Westcore! I really appreciate the privacy of the pods and the warm support from the (semi)personal trainers. It’s a unique concept that works perfectly for my training needs. See you again real soon!
Negative experience: I would give 0 stars if I could.
Negative experience: I am not one to write public reviews, especially if they are negative as I do not want to impact the trainers or employees who I’m sure are pleasant people. Unfortunately, I had a lengthy, horrible experience with the owner of the Victoria location, Mike. Grieving a very recent loss, I had the arduous task to settle my loved one’s estate- starting off with cancelling memberships. The staff at Westcore knew about my sister’s battle with cancer, and I had the opportunity to speak to Mike on the phone explaining my family’s situation - at first a fine enough conversation (although unempathetic). Mike said he would look into providing a refund to her estate/family as the current membership was completely unused. After the initial conversation, Mike dodged my calls and e-mails for 2.5 months, never returning a call or e-mail the entire time. My family finally got the refund after a male family member took over correspondence with Mike. From my experience with this person, I would say he is extremely unprofessional and there is a significant deviation between how he treats male and female requests. I would suggest to those who are looking for a training experience to seek it elsewhere. Spend your money some place else where human decency, empathy, and compassion are valued. Mike, heinously and unapologetically, put my family in a role of debt collectors while we are tying to navigate our grief.
Fantastic experience: The owner, and staff are all amazing! They care about their clients, and are willing to work with you at any stage in your fitness journey. I love having a personal pod so you aren't waiting on equipment, or struggling to find space. They have worked with me at my peak shape as an athlete, returning after a broken foot, and through two pregnancies. No matter where I'm at physically I don't feel judged, or put in a situation where I'm being given workouts above my abilities. I have nothing but great things to say about this place. I suggest them for anyone looking for support in their fitness journey.
Fantastic experience: I couldn’t be happier with my decision to to try West Core Training Center. The facility is top-notch, featuring modern equipment, clean and welcoming atmosphere. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, always willing to help with a smile. I’ve particularly enjoyed that they have semi-private personal training. There’s something for everyone, whether you’re into high-intensity workouts or more relaxed sessions. Additionally, the gym’s commitment to maintaining a safe and clean environment is truly commendable. Overall, it has exceeded my expectations in every way.Highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere, everyone is kind and friendly. I feel way better about myself and my mind after going here for three months, I also feel as if I focus better as well. Great experience overall.
Fantastic experience: Great local gym with great training programs. Mike & the staff are great & very helpful.
Negative experience: Won’t go back. Very unprofessional in keeping the bookings I had. Drive there multiple times and my trainer was not there or coming.
Fantastic experience: Westcore Training has been excellent to treat chronic pain. I have severe scoliosis and was almost bedridden when I started at Westcore. Since then, I’ve been able to lose 2 sizes, 3 prescription drugs and increase my ability to lead a normal life. After one year at Westcore, I have returned to school/work after a 12 year hiatus dictated by chronic pain. I have been surprised by how much movement the staff can coax out of my body. It’s the perfect level of intervention, as on bad days I get more support and on good days minimal support. It is a safe way to work out, because you’ll never do too much or make the wrong movement, someone is always there with a tip to make things work. The trainers are excellent, the pod structure makes workouts very streamlined (no waiting for equipment or space). The workouts have improved posture and mobility and I now get to go out on a kayak. Westcore has been able to tailor my exercise from days when I get barely get out of bed to when I’m able to add cardio to the weights. It is such a lovely and supportive way to treat pain. I can’t recommend this program enough for people who suffer from accidents, scoliosis, chronic pain, or any other medical issue. It takes all of the guesswork out of what you can do, what you should do, and how much to challenge yourself safely. It is such a safe way to add exercise to life, especially for those suffering medical issues or have bodily damage. Westcore training also takes out the boredom of weightlifting by switching things up often. The best part is that I don’t have to think about anything, I just show up and they take it from there. I’ll never go to a public gym again! Ange 42, Victoria
Fantastic experience: My partner and I started at Westcore in February 2024 and all the trainers at the Cook street location have been fantastic. Very knowledgeable and they come up with some great workouts. We both have been feeling stronger since the first week we started.
Fantastic experience: Trainers are great. Dave is always switching up the workouts. Btw still hate cardio Dave
Fantastic experience: Nothing but positive things to say about Westcore in Victoria. The trainers are incredible, the workouts are well planned and challenge you perfectly based on your current fitness level. It’s a warm and welcoming gym for all fitness levels. Huge shoutouts to Sean, Maddie, Scott, Avery, Adelène, Marissa and, of course, Phil for your expertise and for making working out fun!
Fantastic experience: Jess at the Langford location has been absolutely amazing. I have lots of medical issues and limitations that needed to be considered with my training and knew it would be a long journey for me. She has not only helped the physical side but has boosted my mental side with her encouragement and understanding. I am a month in and already seeing dramatic improvements. This gym is so warm and inviting and everyone is so helpful. Jess, I am forever thankful I found you, I honestly did not think I would stick with it….but you make me want to show up. I always thought gyms are for the younger crowd, however everyone at this location makes you feel like you belong. So young, old, fat, thin, good shape or totally out of shape this is the place for you. Check it out you will not be disappointed!!!
Fantastic experience: If you are someone who struggles with consistency, motivation, getting overwhelmed in the gym, or are recovering from an injury, this is the place for you. Maddi, Shawn, and Scott are such great trainers - super friendly, really knowledgable, and so encouraging. Awesome environment, great, supportive design, and fun workouts. Truly worth every penny!
Fantastic experience: Always a good experience here. The workouts are created by the trainers to meet you at whatever level you are at. Not only has my fitness improved so much since joining, I've really improved my knowledge of form to continue to weight train safely without injury. The team of trainers are All-stars!
Fantastic experience: I love Westcore Training Centre and the model of semi private personal training. This model worked great for me in another city I used to live in, and when I found out Westcore offered it here in Victoria I was really excited! Mike was extremely kind and attentive in learning and understanding my goals in the onboarding process. All the trainers are wonderful but extra shout out to Dave who is able to articulate movements, form, and the body in a way that makes sense to my brain and in a way that my body can engage the exercise the way it's supposed to so I can see and feel the progress! I've been dedicated in my training for the past 5 months and just love showing up for myself in an environment that is supportive, encouraging, and most importantly - fun! Thanks WTC team! See you Monday ;)
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Westcore for 2 years now and would definitely recommend! Whether you’re just starting out or advancing your skills the highly skilled, knowledgeable trainers are amazing at helping you hit your goals !
Fantastic experience: I am so happy I joined this gym . The programs are excellent. The trainers are very supportive. I am smashing my goals !!!
Fantastic experience: This gym has all the benefits of a high-end establishment with customized workouts, personal trainers and private areas to train, but the friendliness and personality of a small business. Mike the owner knows every client by name and is almost always there to greet you when you arrive. I have seen a huge improvement in my fitness since I joined Westcore. I can't recommend this place enough.
Thanks for taking the time to write this Lizzy! We appreciate you. See you soon! :)
Fantastic experience: After turning 50 I knew I needed to find a new health and fitness routine. The WestCore team has been amazing. It’s been decades since I did any form of strength training. Because the program is personalized, I’m challenged but not to the point of injury. The trainers know their stuff and provide guidance and adjustments as needed. 8 months on and I’m still motivated to continue.
Thank you for the kinda words Hoku. Keep up the good work! :)
Negative experience: The owner is creepy and will charge your card after you have asked him not to. He seems to only care about himself
We are really sorry you feel this way Katrina and have looked into this for you. We have no record of you ever paying or being charged anything. Perhaps this review was meant for someone else.
Fantastic experience: So pleased that I joined Westcore. The fact that the set up ensures you are not competing with others for space is awesome but even better is the attention that the trainers pay to your specific circumstances in designing your workouts. I joined Westcore as I was recovering from a shoulder injury resulting in pain and weakness and the exercises given to me have significantly improved my shoulder. Big shout out to Dave as he has been super thoughtful about which exercises i should be doing.
Thank you for taking the time to write these kind words Jordan, we appreciate you! :)
Fantastic experience: Mike and his team have worked endlessley to create awesome and inspiring programs that cater to a variety of people. He helped me, specifically training my son in jijitsu, and the positive impression he had on the kids was immeasurable. Highly recommend
Thank you for the kind words Casey!
Fantastic experience: Started with Westcore about 6 months ago and the only thing I regret is not starting sooner! You get amazing support and guidance. Being out of shape and not making myself a priority for years made it a hard taking the first step. The team at Westcore will not let you down. If your curious and want a healthier you message them and check it out. ❤️
Negative experience: Owner isn’t even certified.
Hi Dalton! Everyone of our coaches are highly educated, certified and experienced. We only employ the best of the best :)
Fantastic experience: Great training sessions with wonderful trainers! Workouts are tailored to your needs, and trainers are always around for guidance and ensure you’re doing it right. Had some issues with not being able to complete the program and the owner refunded me and resolved the issue. Very responsive!
Fantastic experience: My happy place! The pod system is great and the semi personal training is a perfect fit for me. All the trainers are so great and I actually look forward to working out! Thank you, guys!
Negative experience: Seeing the type of responses from the owner is appalling. Almost as bad as the owner of grilled cheese please
Fantastic experience: I've been going to this Gym for the past 4 months and have had the opportunity to work with all their trainers and they are fantastic! Everyone took their time with me and are very patient (especially Jess, ha!). A special thank you to Mike, Jess, Dave, Morgan, Marissa, Adelene and Melanie - you guys are amazing, thanks for whipping me into shape, I very much appreciate it!
Thanks for the kind words Danilo! See you soon :)
Fantastic experience: Best....gym....ever. I've been to a lot of different gyms and Westcore has them all beat. The workouts are tailored to your individual needs and wants. You'll get the equivalent of personal training for the every session with your customized workout and a trainer assisting you. Actually, three trainers because all trainers on duty will provide support and guidance. It's very friendly and personal and there is no waiting for equipment or cardio machines. This is my happy place.
Fantastic experience: I have always been intimidated by going to the gym. That is why I joined Westcore. It is such a safe and non-intimidating space. The semi private personal training model is awesome. You book your time, show up and get to work. Your workout pod is set up and trainers are making their way around the room to help when you need. It has been such a catalyst in my life. I have lost 25lbs, gained healthy muscle mass, I meal prep and I am very comfortable lifting now. Thank you Westcore!
Fantastic experience: Friendly atmosphere with great fitness programs for any level of experience
Fantastic experience: Both my husband and I started training here about a year ago after at least a decade of avoiding gyms! We were both out of shape and intimidated to start working out. Mike assured us that he could help us and tailor workouts to our needs. He delivered on that promise 100%. Westcore makes going to workout easy! When you show up you're greeted with a smile, and are provided with a workout plan for the session. Trainers are always close by to explain unfamiliar exercises or help you improve your technique. The trainers also keep a close eye on how you're progressing and are amazing at pushing you to step out of your comfort zone. I can't say enough good things about this place! Training at Westcore is an awesome investment in my health & wellness!
Fantastic experience: The knowledgeable staff have helped me improve my lifting form and technique, setting the stage for lean, usable muscle growth. During my time here I've lost 20lbs of fat while increasing my size, strength and cardiovascular endurance. The easy-to-follow programs made all of this possible while being very convenient.
Fantastic experience: I've never really been a gym person, but I honestly love going to Westcore! I started going earlier this year, and its been the best decision ever! Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. I love being able to just show up & do the work because all my workouts are pre-planned for me. The workouts are challenging but I always leave wanting to come back for more. Scheduling & cancelling is a breeze through their website, and they have a variety of times to choose from to fit everyones schedules.
Fantastic experience: I’m a senior citizen and I had never had a gym membership much less help from a trainer before in my life. Over the last 18 months, going to Westcore three days a week and under the guidance of Avery I have lost almost 20 lbs and put on visible muscle (so I’ve lost more than 20 lbs of fat) and I was already in pretty good aerobic shape (running, walking, and cycling). I can’t recommend Westcore enough.
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Westcore Training for a few months. I was looking to get back into shape and feel better about myself. Hands down the best choice I’ve made in years training at Westcore! It’s been a breath of fresh air! Great workouts with happy people! The personal trainers are super knowledgeable, professional and supportive. The workouts are designed and based on my needs, limitations and strengths. The training team shows a great deal of patience, very professional and very knowledgeable. The workouts are fun, the vibe is great and the music is awesome. Very friendly team who actually make me want to go train! The gym is complete, safe and clean. Non-intimidating atmosphere for all levels of fitness. Never boring. I love this place! It feel more personal and very welcoming. I highly recommend to anyone! So glad I did. Great energy, staff and feel. Positive all around experience.
Fantastic experience: I have learned so much about how to properly train for the results I am after; turns out you don't need to do a gazillion hours of cardio to feel lean and strong (such a relief). The team is knowledgeable, supportive and meet you at your level. This is a great place to go if you are ready to make a change but are finding you need support and motivation.
Fantastic experience: Mike and his team have been nothing but amazing. They are professional, knowledgable and Keep you motivated. If you are looking for a supportive environment to help with meeting your fitness needs, check them out.

Fantastic experience: Joining Westcore Training Centre was one of the best decisions I ever made. The setup is ideal for having a great workout. The trainers plan and monitor every workout in a very professional way. In the past 8 months I have lost 60 lbs, gained a great deal of muscle strength and flexibility. Thank you to everyone at Westcore for making every workout a great experience.
Fantastic experience: Westcore is the only gym I have ever actually enjoyed going to! And I owe it all to Mike, Avery and the team. They not only listen to your needs and wants for your workout, but they challenge you, give you an amazing (and sweaty) workout, all while being so friendly. It honestly feels like I'm walking into a gym with all my friends! Such a fun and professional environment.
Fantastic experience: Best semi-private personal training in Victoria, life changer. I started working out with Westcore at the beginning of the year in January. I took a leap of faith, and it changed my life. My body is much stronger and flexible than when I first started. I feel better mentally and emotionally because I work out consistently and enjoy the workout. This positive energy transfers into my everyday life. The staff are welcoming and friendly. The facility and music system are excellent, and you get a trainer and your own personal space for your workout. Give it a shot. You won't regret it.
Fantastic experience: One of the best decisions I ever made. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Facility has everything you need, and the atmosphere is encouraging. Seeing great results so far!
Fantastic experience: Very creative and economical personal training one can get in victoria. Staff is very knowledgeable, environment is always friendly and uplifting ♂️
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Westcore for about 3 weeks now and I already am feeling so much stronger! Will highly be recommending to all my friends.
Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I hadn't worked out in a long time. Mike and his crew make it their goal to ensure the training does not lead to injury and progresses at a good pace. I see all age ranges at the gym, which is fantastic! I can get in and out in under an hour and booking a spot can be done in advance or even last minute. I love this gym!!
Fantastic experience: Awesome trainers. Awesome vibe. Non intimidating. Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: Top notch one on one training. Very knowledgeable and friendly. The atmosphere is perfect for this one on one training. I recommend Westcore to everyone.
Negative experience: I had won a "100 gift card" on facebook which equaled the price of a "free trial". Went down and went through with the trial. As soon as it was finished the owner gave a sales pitch and wanted me to pay more than $1000 to sign up. Asked me to sign a contract and asked for my credit card. I did not have one at the time and I said I would go home to think about it. Continued harassing me through facebook messages. I finally told him I was not interested and couldn't afford it at the time and had to block him on facebook. OBVIOUS SCAM and it's also quite obvious that the majority of these "positive reviews" are paid for, when they are from throwaway accounts, with only one like, yet the negative reviews have several likes, accompanied by rude or completely inappropriate and unprofessional comments from the owner. All ego, it seems. Take your scam some place else. Edit: LOL I should have known you were going to hit me with an oh-so-clever comeback within 30 minutes of my review. Again, the professionalism! I guess that's why you have so many great reviews, and yet enough time on your hands to read through my other reviews as well as reply to every single one you get, even going as far as accusing one user of using drugs at your facility because you didn't like their review. I didn't say anywhere in my review that you didn't honor the $100 card but that it was just a scam to get people to sign up. Best of luck with your business during the pandemic. I'm sure getting scammed out of thousands of dollars is the top priority of many people right now! Cheers.
HI, we have no record of you ever being here and think you might be mistaken. If you won a $100 gift card, we would have honoured that. Our programs cost more than $100 so you wouldv'e had to pay any difference, just like a gift card at a restaurant. The $100 gift card is a promotion that we do once in a while and most people appreciate the $100 discount and use it to kick start their training program and are not trying to get something for free. We have monthly options as well as paid in full options and can meet anyones budget. By the sounds of it, you may not have been the best fit around here and things wouldn't have worked out well anyway. We have never paid for a review and all of these reviews are from current or past clients who are VERY happy with us. Everyone who has ever invested in to a training program here have been very happy with the results and experience. This is why we have so many GREAT reviews. I consider that assumption to be a compliment and thank you for thinking about us on your Saturday and taking the time to write about us. I can also tell by your other reviews that you are a very pleasant person with lots of good things to say about everyone. I wish you well and hope you get your fitness together. Edit: That person that wrote that review was a street person smoking meth on the sidewalk and we asked her to move along as meth and fitness don't go well together.
Fantastic experience: The semi-private personal training niche Westcore has carved out makes so much sense! I don't ever have to think about what to do and when to do it - everything is customized to your fitness level / goals, and planned out in advance. It's super convenient to book, cancel, or reschedule my own training times online... so they always suit my schedule, 100%. The trainers don't let me stay in my comfort zone either - as soon it appears I'm finding the sets to easy... on to the next level! Thanks for the killer workouts, guys :)
Fantastic experience: I have been a totally happy and healthy client for almost 3 years! Westcore has the best trainers, who work closely with you and find the perfect workout for you. The time they take with you gives you the motive to keep going ...I am truly grateful and thankful for walking through westcore doors. The staff there are the best...but Avery Lynn truly gives it her all...if she has her coffee
Fantastic experience: This gym has truly been the best I've attended yet. The trainers are extremely dedicated and even provided me with exercises that are safe for my ankle injury (low impact)... I can still get fit and be safe! They also are super COVID19 safe - great settup. I highly recommend Westcore!.
Fantastic experience: WestCore has been professional and proactive in how they've dealt with the ever evolving guidelines from the provincial government. The equipment is cleaned with a natural sanitizer, and the trainers give great instruction while keeping their distance. They truly have a great set up for the times we're in! While working through injuries and imbalances safely, they've helped me achieve and crush my fitness goals. They've also helped to keep many people, including myself mentally stable through physical activity. Social distancing and isolation is difficult, I couldn't imagine not being part of this community through this pandemic. Thank you WestCore for adapting so well!
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend giving this gym a try. It's super inclusive to all fitness levels and has a non intimidating environment. The trainers are very skilled and super helpful and definitely care about your success. Each workout is dynamic and interesting and designed for your specific needs. It really keeps you motivated, constantly learning new things and making real progress!
Thank you for the kind words Rachel! :)
Fantastic experience: With Covid stamping out my motivation, Westcore has both kept me accountable and challenged me. Their mix of independence and support during my training has helped me finally workout without pain, and improved my endurance and climbing! 100% recommend
Fantastic experience: I’ve been a regular member of Westcore for a few years now. I love the set up with different pre-written or customized for you workout sets every day. It’s easier to stay committed and engaged when you don’t have to worry about what exactly you are going to do each day, but just follow the exercises in a set under the trainers’ supervision. I do a combination of strength training and cardio, and it works really well for me. I highly recommend Westcore if you want to get results and are looking for a way to be more engaged and consistent with your exercise routine.
Fantastic experience: Since joining Westcore a few months ago I have gained more than strength and lost unwanted lbs. My posture has improved and in general I have become more active. I feel better and have so much more stamina. Would recommend this to anyone!!
Fantastic experience: I have been a client at Westcore for over two years. I joined with a specific goal - to rehike the West Coast Trail. Being in my mid-fifties, I was concerned I might not have the strength and stamina I had when I was younger. After training with Avery and the team for a few months, I was more than ready and felt super strong the entire hike. Goal accomplished. Am now starting year 3 with Westcore and continue to strive for new goals. Things I specifically like include the instructors’ close attention to detail to ensure proper technique; the accountability that comes from having booked sessions and dedicated staff who know you; constantly updated training plans so workouts never seem stale; a very fun range of classes; and snuggle sessions with Penelope and Finnegan - two of the sweetest dogs you’ll ever meet. Also very impressed with Westcore’s covid plan. Avery, Mike and team have gone above and beyond to keep clients and staff safe at the gym, and to provide additional online options for group classes. They have been innovative and have kept us all healthy and moving during these challenging times. A huge thank you to everyone at Westcore.
Fantastic experience: Have been training at this gym since May 2020, best personal trainers I have ever worked with. Pricing is very reasonable the more often you go the cheaper it is, I typically workout 3-4 times a week. This Gym is very clean and Covid-19 safe with sanitation after every person. The other members are very respectful of everyone else. This is a Queer safe gym and body safe gym. If you like dogs come during the afternoon as the owners 2 dogs are around for emotional support . There are 3 types of Training available to suite your needs, I personally recommend the Simi private training as its the middle of the price range and you get personal training that at your pace. As someone who had major abdominal surgery in Feb 2020 and a old shoulder injury they have built a program around my needs to strength my core and upper body. Parking is cheap in the Johnson St parkaid, and there is a bus stop outside the gym so easy access. New members also get 200$ credit when signing up for 10 months. Thats how I found out about this gym. I recommend it to anyone that wants a safe respectful place to get into shape. Kendra Posted - November 9th 2020
Fantastic experience: I first learned about Westcore through good friends who had discovered a way to exercise in a meaningful and consistent way while working shift work- and it was Fun ! As someone who historically finds gyms intimidating, it was easy to find my stride. Everyone- the team and the gym goers are welcoming. This lends to a relaxed vibe where everyone is focused on their own path while being happy that others are in pursuit of their goals too. As a healthcare worker (and human) I really appreciate the safety measures in these Covid times. As isolating as these days are, it’s nice to feel part of the community in this way. Going to westcore has now become part of my routine, if I didn’t go I’d really miss it. Would highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: I started at Westcore Training Centre almost 2 years ago and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Prior to this time, I did not enjoy going to a typical gym and I had zero motivation to work out on my own. Since training at Westcore, I have strengthened my mind and body, found the discipline to continue training on a regular basis and have gained confidence in my body. The Trainers are very knowledgeable and provide excellent motivation. They are there to ensure you are exercising the correct way in order to avoid injury. Prior to Covid, I enjoyed circuit training and utilizing the various stations offered throughout the space but management has done a fantastic job coming up with individual work-out pods to continue training throughout this difficult time. I highly recommend trying Westcore Training Centre to get you on your way to a healthy, happy and harmonious lifestyle!
Fantastic experience: Been going to Westcore Fitness for about 3 months now and I have been so happy with everything! The trainers that I've worked with know their stuff, truly personalize the experience and believe in your ability to succeed. The owner always greets everyone by name as they walk in and creates a positive and safe place to work out!
Thanks Dan! We appreciate your kind words. :)
Fantastic experience: **2021feb** Im back again at westcore and never been happier. Since this pandemic hit us they have tirelessly adapted and never stopped the good energy! I feel lucky to be able to work out safely in person in sanitary pod conditions and also they make online classes available if your schedule gets crazy! The trainers are a lovely group of people and work very hard alongside us! *never been to a gym before and these lovely people made it super easy to want to commit to a long term health plan! Every session I feel welcomed and they really do love what they do and are very knowledgable! Super worth checking them out!
Fantastic experience: I trained with Westcore for 12 months and really enjoyed the training sessions. My goal was to be more active, tone up and generally feel good. I walked into Westcore with the hopes of having a trainer guide me and push me towards my fitness goals. The trainers were welcoming and knowledgeable! They go through the exercises and correct technique to prevent injuries. Overall I feel healthy, im stronger and motivated to stay active.
Fantastic experience: This gym has been my saving grace. I realized the difference between going to a regular gym without the direction, vs being in a place that is specifically geared towards core strength, weight loss and cardio improvement. It takes the headache out of thinking/wondering if you're doing the right exercises. Someone is always there to show you your moves and make alterations if necessary. The difference in this experience is that you are so much more capable than you think and it feels so great to see the improvements week to week. Also, the premises are clean, following strict COVID-19 regulations. In no way do I feel anxious about it. All equipment is frequently cleaned. You're given your own pod that is completely walled up. The trainers are amazing, encouraging and care about your results. There is no other place i would go. 10/10.
Fantastic experience: Westcore team are very attentive to your overall health condition. They focus on your personal needs to improve your overall health. I have been going for over a year and my mobility has improved and my overall strength is excellent for my mountain biking trips. It’s a upbeat clean environment for working out in and excellent tunes to get your grove on . Thanks to the crew my overall health is improving at 60 .
Fantastic experience: I have never liked working out, going to the gym, cardio, any of it…… until I started training at Westcore Training. I feel like every time I go there I feel like I’m coming home/ or to my friends place. I still don’t like working out but I feel great and feel healthier for doing it at WestcoreTraining. Thank you Westcore!!! And I’ve lost 20lbs in 3.5 months
Fantastic experience: Excellent care and attention, friendly staff and a clean safe place to train, would recommend.
Fantastic experience: I love Westcore! Although I am a self conscious person, I have always felt welcomed and encouraged at this very special workout place. They have the best staff!
Fantastic experience: Best place to get shredded in Vic!! Great atmosphere, good tunes, and the program is perfect for my lifestyle. Also, their COVID safety protocols are on point. 5 dumbbells out of 5
Fantastic experience: The personalized pods are perfect for working out during COVID-19 and the personalized program helps me reach my workout goals! Friendly, motivated staff are helpful but not overly pushy- just what I want in a work out!!
Fantastic experience: Amazing trainers, knowledgeable and friendly. The training centre is extremely clean and it is a very safe place to workout! Best training I have every had!
Fantastic experience: I love going to Westcore! Very clean and they took the time to teach me how to gain strength in my lower back and now I'm finally pain free! Great motivation to get you where you want to be
Negative experience: STAY AWAY from this place. I went there for a free trial. It is quite obvious the owner's interest on getting money from you. I felt extremely uncomfortable. After a few words on the free trial, he quickly asked me for my credit card; I said I did not bring it. He insisted numerous times on me sending him a picture of my credit card by email as soon as I got home. I said I needed to think if I was actually interested, it was just supposed to be a free trial, right? When I did not provide my credit card, he clearly showed dislike. Immediately, he wanted me to SIGN a document! He never asked me to read what I was supposed to sign, never told me if I was okay or if I wanted to continue with any program. I obviously rejected to sign, as I realized he was going to make me commit to something. I am sure if I had signed, he would have put me in trouble probably by agreeing to something he did not put into my knowledge. PLEASE BE AWARE OF THIS PLACE !
Negative experience: Extremely rude to public and potential clientele!!! Would take the one star off if I could. Do not recommend and will be telling friends, family and anyone who'll listen about the dissapointing interaction with this establishment. You should not own a business if you do not have professionalism as the forefront. I just had a chance to read your reply to my review. If you do not have any record of me stepping into your facility or ever dealing with your staff than how do you know it was actually me that was out front of your facility. Quite the accusation and quite frankly you just seem upset that you got a bad review. Your statements plainly come across as snarky and uncalled for. Hence, the bad review. Once again, as the business owner, you should try for a little more professionalism.
Hi Krista, thank you for taking the time to write a review. However, we have no record of you ever stepping into our facility or ever dealing with our staff. We do however have a record and video of you smoking something illegal in our doorway this morning. We kindly asked you to move down the street to smoke whatever it was that you were smoking (crack or Meth) as you were blocking our doorway. You clearly didn't like us asking you to take your unhealthy habits elsewhere and so now you have attempted to taint our reviews with this ridiculous accusation. We wish you all the best in the New Year and would happily give you a discount on our program should you decide to make some healthy changes this year. Happy New Year Krista!
Fantastic experience: I love working out at westcore! Such a great atmosphere, equipment , and training. Such a good work out. Shout out to all the trainers, always a smiling face when you rock in :)
Fantastic experience: Really helpful, motivated, and enthusiastic trainers who tailor a program specially for you with flexibility on scheduling. Super good for me with a schedule that changes/rotates every week.
Fantastic experience: Super accessible and reasonably affordable way to feel like you're really making improvements. You just book your time, show up, and do your personalized workout - no extra thinking necessary! Really lovely and enthusiastic trainers who are great at keeping you motivated and answering all your questions too. Loving this semi-private model.
Fantastic experience: Amazing love them always positive, clean, fabulous atmosphere. I schedule my day & time I show up and my workout us already figured out. They always ask how you are & how your body feels well worth it to me
Fantastic experience: Amazing staff and services, the trainers will work with you to achieve your fitness goals. With the variety of classes offered, such as boxing, spin, party fit and personal training to name a few.... Westcore is a motivating, fun and supportive environment. I have been a member for 2 years and have seen amazing improvements within myself. I highly recommend Westcore, whether you're first time at the gym or getting back into your routine let Westcore help shape you to be your best. I've been a member for 5 years- I love the variety of classes and am amazed at the results. Thank you westcore for helping me achieve my optimum fitness level. See the results yourself - sign up today!
Fantastic experience: This is almost my home away from home (and work). It is a great place to get a sweat on. This is a warm and friendly gym that trains all levels. The trainer's are all fantastic at what they do. They are knowledgeable, approachable and friendly and really take the time to get to know you and what you can do. The workouts are geared towards developing you and not just putting together a standard workout for you to go off and do. I have been going to this gym on a near-daily basis for about four months now and I am really happy with the decision to join. I have never trained this intensely before and the facilities and trainers are a big part of why I keep coming back. There are a lot of gums in Victoria, but this is the best one. The cost is very reasonable considering you are getting one-on-one training. I would recommend this gym to anybody looking to get into shape or looking to for improvements.
Fantastic experience: Definitely workout with a feeling of accomplishment after each workout! Best training I have ever had. They keep you motivated and can't thank them enough!
Fantastic experience: Westcore has a great atmosphere. Grace and Avery are amazing instructors. They make the workouts fun with the perfect amount of challenge.
Fantastic experience: Nice, clean facility with a great atmosphere. The trainers are very knowledgeable and the circuit training is a great way to get pointers on your form without having to splurge on 1-on-1 sessions. Can't recommend Westcore enough!
Fantastic experience: Our family (wife and 2 boys in the Little Ninja/Jujitsu classes) has been with Westcore for about 18 months. Our membership started out for just our older son (now 6.5yo) to learn a martial art. Then I started doing the circuit training during his class. Then my wife started to get into the circuit trg and Sat fitness class. Last fall, our youngest started the Little Ninjas class. Now Westcore has become a family affair for us. With the flexible schedule, we are able to choose to go to the classes that fit into our busy family schedule.
Fantastic experience: Classes are awesome here! Love the upbeat vibe and fun tunes. So much fun but also a really intense workout. Staff are all amazing and friendly. Would highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: It’s a super comfortable and welcoming environment especially for a total beginner like myself !
Fantastic experience: I’ve been attending west core training for approx. 4 months, on average 4 days a week. I have had great results! Overall my athleticism has improved, I feel stronger and more confident. The environment is welcoming, and the staff are very friendly and accommodating to your needs. Would recommend to anyone looking for a positive change in their health and well-being.
Fantastic experience: Outstanding gym! The little ninjas class is adorable to watch and the teachers know how to manage a room full of tiny warriors. The equipment is well maintained and the gym is VERY clean. The best feature of the gym however is the sense of community; all levels are welcome and because of the style of training they offer everyone is getting the support to suit their goals. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: West core has been AMAZING for me and I am so happy I found this place!!! I used to HATE working out and would drag myself to the gym and leave feeling less motivated for the next time ...I then found westcore and wouldn’t go anywhere else! Every time I go there the instructors make each work out fun and leave me wanting to go back so bad that I get impatient waiting for my next workout!!! The instructors make the journey for a healthy lifestyle fun and motivating which is what I need and wouldn’t dream of going anywhere else!!! I owe them a huge thanks for getting back on track and for loving the gym again!!!!!
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Westcore for three months now, and I can not say enough good things about the place! After years of wasting time and money on gym memberships where they just give you a pass and send you on your way, I was feeling really discouraged while also becoming more and more out of shape, because I couldn't stick to it at these other places. The Westcore program has kept me motivated and consistent, to the point where I CRAVE my next workout, A feeling I never thought I'd have. The atmosphere is fun and energetic, The trainers are all extremely knowledgeable, and having Penny (the resident doggo) around really makes the place feel like home. I even got my daughter into Jujitsu there and she loves it! Sensei Mike is great with the kids and has really helped her build confidence and strength that she didn't know she has. I'd give it ten stars if I could! If you're looking for a comfortable, affordable place to actually learn how to get in shape and keep it that way, I highly recommend Westcore.
Fantastic experience: been there since I moved to Victoria. Love Westcore!!!
