PISE (Pacific Institute for Sport Excellence)

Positive experience: Great place to workout, but I would like to find a couple of machines that are more effective and should be present in a gym

Positive experience: Parking is an issue but the facility is great

Negative experience: The most unorganized and unprofessional gym centre I’ve had the displeasure of dealing with. If you can, avoid at ALL COST!

Positive experience: Decent gym, with great staff. Lack of AC in the summer, shortage of benches and 45lb plates are the downside.

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym, fabulous staff...My personal trainer Allie is the best

Fantastic experience: Good facility. Nice field and viewing area for spectators

Fantastic experience: Super friendly staff and top notch equipment and coaches. This is where you need to go!

Positive experience: Cool place

Fantastic experience: Grad

Fantastic experience: Nice and new.

Fantastic experience: PISE is the most inclusive centre we have experienced in Victoria. I have 2 children with special needs, and after we were told that our children were no longer going to be supported at their local out of school care centre in late April last year, we were lost. We contacted PISE and their staff jumped on board to help us secure spaces for our kids for summer break when most camps had been full for several months already at that late stage. For the first time, our kids *wanted* to go to camp, they looked forward to it every morning and even today when we drive by, ask to go there. The staff are inclusive, supportive and empathetic. They asked thoughtful questions and went out of their way in order to provide the best environment for the kids to thrive in. After experiencing this inclusive atmosphere, I can't imagine sending my kids anywhere else. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: I was blown away by the kindness and consideration of the staff at PISE. I was managing my daughter’s soccer team and they were playing in three games back to back, in the pouring rain. The staff let us come inside and dry off between games and even put our jerseys in their dryer between the games!! Everyone was so welcoming and accommodating. Thank you!!

Fantastic experience: Great facilities with tonnes of parking. Easily accessible.

Fantastic experience: Excellent staff, nice facilities, no covid, would recommend

Fantastic experience: I am very impressed with the PISE gym and COVID19 protocols. It is so great to be back and to feel safe while working out. Great for the body and mind! Kudos to the team for all their efforts.

Fantastic experience: Amazing place for multiple sports and training !!!

Fantastic experience: The best COVID protocols in town!!!!!They really care and took this so seriously. Great staff. Great variety of equipment. Organized, triple cleaned and respectful spaces for all. The facility is fantastic!!!

Fantastic experience: Good place and they work to create a covid safe place to work out.

Fantastic experience: Taking care for Covid has been priority for PISE. Consequently the facility has seen much reduced use over the past months, hopefully we as a society can get past this. That said, the site is a great addition to the community.

Fantastic experience: Très bonnes installations

Fantastic experience: Athletic Therapy group very knowledgeable and helpful, a great choice for your road to recovery from your athletic injury!

Fantastic experience: Great gym! They have a lot of those 4-sided weight doohickeys (cable machines?), some lifting stuff and several treadmills. They don't have many of the extremely specific strength machines, but it's a good gym to go to for cardio.

Fantastic experience: Great place to go to school also the gym is really good! Good equipment and opportunity for personal trainers and some classes even! Awesome weight lifting equipment if your into that.

Fantastic experience: Nice coirt

Fantastic experience: Possibly the best gym in Victoria. Tons of equipment, both barbell and machine, cardio, Olympic platforms, more squat racks than you can count (actually about 5-6). The only reason this isn't my main gym is it's a little out of the way.

Fantastic experience: Local sports are where it's at

Fantastic experience: I sent my daughter to PISE summer day camp (9-4; with the option of extended care up to 5pm) this summer. Their facility is in excellent condition. Friendly front desk and camp staff. There isn't a published camp schedule that I can find online. However, I always picked up my child (horray) being super happy by the end of the day. I was also really impressed to see my kiddo picked up good sports techniques from PISE's camp. The PISE children summer camp starts indoor in the gym and you can also opt for lunch programme if you wish (this year is $10 tax included). If you are looking for a good summer camp for your active kids that has both quality indoor and outdoor time, go with PISE!

Fantastic experience: our daughter has used this facility for soccer games and it is one of the nicest in Victoria. Track around the field is in excellent condition.Always something going on here as the size allows for multiple venues. Gyms inside full size and weight room is up to date with everything you need

Positive experience: Nice facility. Unfortunate it’s out in the middle of nowhere. Rather than having a modern facility nearer downtown.

Positive experience: Great place! Parking isn't always available

Positive experience: Good workout gym. Sad someone lit it on fire. The hours are pretty good too. If you prefer a quiet gym to workout in, go in the evenings! The staff also play some hype music, which is a bonus if you forget headphones.

Positive experience: No free parking...but a nice gym.

Fantastic experience: Love the friendly atmosphere and the range of equipment!

Fantastic experience: Great place, great staff. Best gym in the city, hands down.

Positive experience: Very nice facility, staff very friendly. Bit pricey unfortunately

Positive experience: Excellent gym as well as turf fields. Friendly staff and pleasant shaded areas for cool-down. Somewhat expensive, but much more elite training than anywhere else in Victoria.

Fantastic experience: Big gym/workout area. Lots of programs to sign up for.

Fantastic experience: Canada's Olympic athletes train here! Oh, and people like me and my son, John.

Fantastic experience: Excellent equipment and staff. The weight room was spacious and not busy either. There is an outdoor track (400m) and a 100m incline track. Very nice facility.

Fantastic experience: While a gym membership can be expensive your paying for friendly knowledgeable staff that are ready to help. They also have a wide variety of programs for average populations and special populations. They have also been reaching out to the community to encourage physical activity. By the way, your guaranteed to see an olympic athlete if you enter the building.

Fantastic experience: first rate facility for weighlifting with great hours.

Fantastic experience: Excellent facilities, well laid out. And for lazy parents the heated coffee shop has great views of field. Coffee shop is closed on weekends

Positive experience: Good weightlifting/powerllifting equipment (ie. Bars, bumpers, change plates, blocks and platforms) as well as a good general selection of other gym equipment. Super friendly staff and great hours.

Positive experience: It has many squat racks and Olympic bars. Friendly staff and long operating hours. Discounts for students. The times I've gone hasn't been super busy.

Positive experience: Great facility.
