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!

Amanda & Guilherme De Castilho 2 years ago

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.

Sidney Pickrell 2 years ago

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.

Robert Lewis 2 years ago

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.

Sophia Leblanc 2 years ago

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.

Kayla Madalena 2 years ago

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.

Julia Truswell 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality 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.

Joyce Penner 2 years ago

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.

Erin Bosworth 2 years ago

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.

Nicholas Zachary 2 years ago

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.

Jean Medland - Victoria BC 2 years ago

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!!

Claire Frazer 2 years ago

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 :)

Richelle Moriarty 2 years ago

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

Celine Van Eeckhout 2 years ago

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!.

Jenna Rae 2 years ago

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!

Kayl Doble 2 years ago

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!

Andrea Nesdoly 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality 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

Anna Wunder 2 years ago

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.

tom mueller 2 years ago

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!!

Margo Ross 2 years ago

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.

Kendra Martin 2 years ago

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

Lisa Smith 2 years ago

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!

Nate Bailey 2 years ago

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!

Dan Comeau 2 years ago

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!

Marilyn MacLeod 2 years ago

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!

Teiamo Pita 2 years ago

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.

Jackie Dewey 2 years ago

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.

Glen Joneson 2 years ago

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 .

Ron Caissie 2 years ago

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

Jazz Bamra 3 years ago

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.

stephanie marchand 4 years ago

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.

Jouelle Brick 4 years ago

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.

Stephanie H 4 years ago

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!!!!!

Shane Blaq 4 years ago

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.

Amanda Star 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been training at Westcore with personal trainers and have tried all of their classes. I highly recommend Westcore Training for the community, atmosphere, vibe and professionalism. All the staff are very professional and fun! The workouts are offered at great times throughout the day and are for all fitness levels. For the overall experience, equipment and classes that are offered the price is awesome!!!

Manpreet Kandola 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Been working out here for over a year now. Probably over 200 Personal training sessions. They alway fit my very busy schedule. Enjoy variety with my trainer and its never too busy. Clean facilities. Free hour parking across street. Best value for personal training in town by far. Of course, owner want to sell you a membership. It's his business. But you are not locked into long terms like other gyms. I had a horrible experience with a different gym in town. Even though I moved away and they said if I move, can cancel. Forced me to pay dues and sent me to collections. EVEN THOUGH I SHOWED THEM I MOVED. Looking forward to this year at Westcore! My time is valuable so I pick my gym carefully.

Katie Husak 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Very knowledgeable and kind personal trainers. Came to Westcore in October 2017 for a free trial and felt very comfortable since day one. The owner really took the time to understand my goals and set me up with the right trainer. I find the prices to be affordable compared to other personal training gyms after doing some shopping around. Chill atmosphere and good music is always on! I would recommend Westcore for sure. Also, I've never been in better shape! Just wanted to send some love!

Jeremy Martin 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: After many years of doing the same old gym routine on my own with limited results and approaching the big 50, I thought I would invest some time and money in myself and give the personal trainer approach a try. I’m going on 16 months now at Westcore and have benefited from the experience, energy and encouragement from the 3 awesome trainers who have worked with me. I always feel welcomed on arrival and energized after a workout session. Give it a try!

Daniella Corlazzoli 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Amazing training studio!! Joining Westcore was the best decision I made to help me achieve a healthier lifestyle. All of the staff are very knowledgeable, friendly and very motivating!! You will never get bored with your workout at Westcore. The group classes are always different and they always have amazing music that pumps you up!

May Demoskoff 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: The best gym I've ever belonged to! The personal trainers are all very knowledgeable, professional and supportive. It's a really welcoming environment no matter what you age or fitness level. I love working one on one with a trainer to achieve the results I'm looking for!

Carrie Sullivan 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: This is hands down the best gym that I've been to in Victoria. I love the classes and the smaller, engaging programs. I especially love the Party Fit class. Great music, choreography and the instructors are knowledgeable and friendly. I burned over 600 calories in the last Party Fit class I attended. Amazing! Highly recommended.

Krista McCullough 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I was recommended Westcore by two of my friends, who each go to different classes. I was not the most fit person and was a little hesitant to sign up. From the first time I walked into the gym, I felt welcomed. I signed up for personal training and felt myself getting stronger and more confident. I was encouraged to try classes I never thought I would be able to do, like spin, and really enjoyed it. The staff are amazing. They are friendly. knowledgeable, supportive and encouraging. I was fortunate enough to train with Avery, who I can't recommend enough. They have a variety of classes from partyfit to bootcamp and offer modifications for everyone. I live out in the West Shore and would drive into town multiple times a week to train and take classes. This is more than just a gym, it is a community. I would recommend this Westcore to anyone who is completely out of shape and looking to make a change to someone who is very fit and wanting to maintain or enhance their fitness even further.

kyla meyer 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Westcore Training Centre to everyone! I've tried out a few gyms in Victoria and this is by far my favourite! I've never felt so motivated to work out and truly enjoy it. Amazing staff, classes and atmosphere! No hesitation needed, it will be the best decision you've ever made for your health and wellbeing, joining such an amazing group of people. Some may think it's more expensive than other gyms but I quickly realized spending a little extra to get the result you want, be happy and stay dedicated is 100% worth it instead of paying monthly fees in a locked in contract to a gym you never go to. Treat yourself and give yourself everything you deserve! This gym has got it! See you around :)

Sandy Demelo 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been a member at Westcore for a little over a year. Having been a gym rat for the better part of my life I can honestly say that it's the best gym I've been a member of. The main reason being, it's unlike any of the other ones! The personal training is amazing and truly will get you the results you want. Also there group fitness classes whether it be bootcamp or spinning, are incredibly high energy and motivating. You cant help but feel great after one of there classes. I'd highly recommend this place to anyone who's bored of there regular routines and is looking for a kick in the ***!

Taryn McMahCree 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Simply put, this is THE workout hub for dynamic classes and motivating personal training sessions. The crew are incredibly warm and inviting and welcome you as soon as you walk in by your first name. After a two month backpacking trip, I walked right on in and felt the genuine care and interest from each staff member! The timing of the night classes are right on schedule with my own and my personal training sessions are individually tailored to take into account past injuries, my extra curricular sport activities, and my upcoming backpacking and hiking goals. I would highly recommend Westcore training centre!

Nikki M 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Flexible and accommodating. The staff at Westcore treat everyone like a good friend. Nothing but positivity and smiles every time we're there. My daughter has been doing the jujitsu program for kids and is loving it. She went from shy and reserved to confident and determined. Westcore beats any gym I've been to on so many levels. Stay awesome guys!

Melina Keep 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I saw results within a couple weeks of training at Westcore! I have been to so many gyms in Victoria, but the classes at Westcore are by far the best! The staff/personal trainers are so welcoming and motivating.They truly care about you and your goals and take time to sit down with you and find a fitness plan that works around any schedule. There are so many different classes offered to keep things interesting and to not get bored, which was something I really needed. I recommend Westcore Training Centre to anyone. Best group training in Victoria!
