The Fitness Academy: Opinions

5/5 (55 Opinions)

Fantastic experience: I don't often leave google reviews so this says a lot. I can't say enough great things about TFA. I recently joined with their 2 week intro package (which I highly recommend) and afterwards immediately continued with their monthly packages. Such a cool environment. The trainers are all extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and know how to lead a fun, and most importantly motivating class. In the past I would often leave the gym feeling like I wasn't satisfied, or didn't push myself hard enough. That is no longer the case. If anyone is looking for a new gym, this is it!

Fantastic experience: TFA has CHANGED MY LIFE! The trainers at both locations are very knowledgeable. They will teach you the movements, support you with positive critiques, and encourage you to push harder, because they know you've got it in you. Clean and organized. It's like a ritual after each class. I've been a member since September 2017 and if it wasn't for TFA, I'd still be struggling with many things in life. Regardless of what's happening in the world, if I need a place to train, they do the best they can to make it happen. Mental health is everything today. EVERYTHING! Don't let yourself or anyone else get in your way from feeling the best you can.

As soon as you walk through those doors, you’re greeted with a warm welcome. It truly is like home! The knowledge that you get from the trainers here is like no other, the workouts all have their focus and they are eager to help and will always take time with you. They get to know and understand all those that enter their gym and what they’re striving for and they WILL get you there and push you even further than you ever thought you could, all while having fun.

Fantastic experience: TFA is unlike any other gym I’ve been a part of. Having just moved to Victoria I was nervous to join, however I immediately was accepted and felt like part of the family. I have never seen a more dedicated group of instructors! The constant high energy that fuels every class makes you keep coming back. It becomes so much more than a gym. Going to class has become a lifestyle and the people become trusted friends. Dave runs TFA with intense passion; he is constantly working to ensure the gym is on point with its organization, professionalism, cleanliness and that everyone feels challenged in their fitness journey, but always accepted. During an uncertain time, this gym has proven to be a safe space helping many of us not only with fitness but with stabilizing and maintaining the mental health and well-being if it’s members. We are forever grateful Dave!!!

Fantastic experience: I have been attending boxing classes at Fitness Academy for the past month or so and have loved my experience so far. Dave, Cassius, and James are all great teachers and even better guys! They will put you through a killer workout while still teaching proper technique and boxing skills. The atmosphere in the gym is always friendly and up-beat; I've felt like a part of the family since day one. 10/10 would recommend!

sharon evans 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: The Fitness Academy was just the type of gym I was looking for. I wanted a gym with variety, different work outs all the time, that had a trainer leading the work outs so you never feel lost or unsure of what your doing. I also wanted a gym that welcomed all age groups, and all fitness levels. I loved the team atmosphere, seeing everyone push each other, really made me push myself, which is really important to me because I find it hard to motivate myself!! I am so glad I found this place!!

Makaila Nichols Personal 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: The only gym I have ever been to that possesses such a positive and motivating atmosphere! Since my first visit at the Fitness Academy I have felt comfortable and welcomed by both coaches and members. The workouts are functional, athletic and are always a good challenge! I have never left the gym feeling unaccomplished. If you are looking for a fresh start in your fitness journey and are feeling ready to start accomplishing your 2020 fitness goals I highly suggest TFA!!!

Jillian Brown 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Dave and Graham are amazing coaches! I'd only attempted kickboxing once almost a decade ago and within 1 class I was hooked. The workout is hard but fun and the vibe in the gym is amazing. Not only are the guys so supportive and motivating but every single person who attends the classes is the same way. If you have every been intimidated at trying new classes or gyms don't fret this place will make you feel like family the moment you walk in the door and you'll get fit and strong in the process.

Fantastic experience: I find that with fitness variety is the key to staying motivated, that’s exactly what you get when you join the The Fitness Academy. The coaches are extremely dedicated and passionate and work hard to keep workouts fresh; everyday is different and keeps the body guessing. If you’re looking for a challenge and are prepared to work hard then take advantage of one of their free drop in classes. This gym exceeds all others and in just a few months I’m seeing HUGE differences in my body, my energy and fitness levels but more importantly my mind. This gym breeds a positive and very motivating culture, I guarantee you’ll meet some great people and see some great results whatever your fitness goals may be
