The Westin Ottawa Health Club

Negative experience: Poor Customer Service. I have made a 15-min appointment to tour the facilities and then decide on what plan would suit my needs. Received a confirmation email with instructions to follow as to who and where to meet. Arrived 10 minutes earlier, checked in for access at the lobby. Went to the defined area and the person who was supposed to me meet me never showed up. That already tells me everything I needed to make a decision. For now, I won't be dealing with this and decided to sign up to other conventional gyms around the area. Maybe I will try in the future, but for now it is a NO.

Fantastic experience: Great facilities

Fantastic experience: Upscale downtown Ottawa hotel, in a great location.

Fantastic experience: Great experience. I had a massage and got to enjoy the facilities. The pool and hot tub were wonderful

Fantastic experience: Maddy's deep knowledge of advanced massage techniques helped to diminish stiffness and improve range of motion.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful king room at a very competitive price in the heart of downtown. Can't beat that! Will be back Westin!

Fantastic experience: Amazing view of the city! Solid selection of equipment

Positive experience: Not bad, but could be better.

Positive experience: Hotel is nice and the location is awesome. Pool facilities need some renovations.

Positive experience: Love the salt water spa.

Fantastic experience: Didn't try the machines but enjoyed the pool. Pool had some minor damage and the hitting was drained due to covid... But pool was nice. I think it was salt water.

Negative experience: Average gym

Positive experience: Rooms were fair. Lobby was slightly outdated. The hotel could use some updating. Good location

Fantastic experience: Westin Hotel is simply the Best, Pet friendly and simply amazing Staff and facilities.

Fantastic experience: While most of the health club is still closed due to COVID, the massage therapy is open. The whole experience was wonderful, friendly and professional from online booking to the end of the massage - I felt valued, my muscle pain was addressed and I re-booked again already - Well done Serah!

Fantastic experience: Gorgeous gym, never busy. Squash courts are great, pool is lovely and there is massage therapy!

Fantastic experience: Excellent staff, love the new equipment and especially the Peloton bikes, professionally run, and just terrific service!!!

Fantastic experience: Been having personal training here since earlier in the year--very happy with the results so far! Also, very good facilities in a great location.

Fantastic experience: I love the experience at this health club. The staff is friendly and very relatable. its very casual, but also quite professional. The services are excellent!

Fantastic experience: I have a rule called n-1 (n-minus-1), for every day away from home when travelling, I must work out each night minus a day. The gym facilities at the Westin Ottawa are professional grade, large workout spaces, comfortable temperature, clean, generally low traffic as well. Excellent place to stay fit even if one's food choices while travelling are not the best.

Fantastic experience: When anyone is looking to join a gym there are always a series of steps they take; 1) Location 2) Equipment 3) Variety of services i.e. massages, private training, various activities like squash, basketball, pool, 4) Locker room, showers, towels and hours of operations etc. etc 5) Value for money 6) Management is the icing on the facility. In all cases the Westin club is superior to anyone else in Ottawa

Fantastic experience: Been a client for years. Carrie is the best trainer ever. She's knowledgeable, considerate, has a great personality and works you hard. She even has fun alternate names for the exercises. Hilarious! Couldn't be happier.

Fantastic experience: The Westin is my favourite gym in Ottawa. They have brand new cardio equipment with Netflix built in, a couple Peleton bikes for spinners and roadies who hate winter, and above all else amazing towel service. It's an enlightening experience.

Fantastic experience: I've been enjoying the Westin gym for years now. I'm a big fan of the hot tub and sauna. They are the perfect reward after a workout. The peloton bikes are addictive and the new equipment is excellent. One of the best things about the gym is the location. The Rideau Centre is hub for Ottawa and Gatineau buses adn the LRT. I get off the bus from work, workout, think about what I need for dinner on the treadmill, get what I need from the supermarket in the basement and then catch my bus home. Perfect.

Fantastic experience: I have a Westin health club membership that I use weekly during my work breaks. The gym is convenient, clean and the brand new workout equipment is perfect! The hot tub and sauna are also great. Highly recommend this membership!

Fantastic experience: Who would think that working out could be such a pleasant experience? I love the Westin Health Club, with its stunning view of Parliament and the Chateau Laurier, and the silky warmth of its saltwater pool. Bliss!

Fantastic experience: My first experience with a Personal Trainer has far exceeded expectations. Referred by two existing happy clients was very worthwhile. Well laid out plans, professional instruction and follow-up has made exercise fun. The facilities are up to date and very clean. Well done.

Fantastic experience: Going to the Westin health club is like being able to go on a mini vacation multiple times a week. The fact that you can work out on top of the line equipment like the new Peloton bikes, but also enjoy the pool, sauna, hot tub, and just relax with a book by the deck is what makes it ultra special. The best part? They have towel service so you don't need to carry around a wet towel in your bag all day. Love this place.

Fantastic experience: It is probably the best hotel health club in Ottawa. The swimming pool is great, guy is perfect, sauna is the best in Ottawa for sure. They also have massage therapists.

Fantastic experience: I have been going happily to the Westin Health Club for many years. The club management and the size of the club create an atmosphere that is welcoming, encouraging and knowledgeable about personal fitness. Carrie Brown is an excellent, experienced trainer. She motivates and inspires me and is flexible and adaptable when personal circumstances indicate the need to modify my program.

Fantastic experience: This is the best health club located downtown Ottawa. It is convenient in many aspects: - open 24 hours, towels are included, lockers, hair dryer, sauna, etc. It is never overcrowded. The new treadmills are certainly a great asset! Running looking out on Downtown Ottawa is quite an almost daily peaceful experience.

Fantastic experience: I love being a member of the Westin Health Club. They have all the equipment one could wish for for a good weight or cardio workout session including a pool, hot tub and saunas. I like the new Peloton bikes! It is big and doesn’t feel crowded. The view is also quite nice!

Fantastic experience: Wonderful gym, convenient location, plenty of (new) LifeFitness treadmills and ellipticals, as well as Peloton bikes. The saltwater pool is great and very quiet during weekdays - a nice way to end your workout. The perspective from the main gym is amazing with panoramic views overlooking the National Art Centre, the Parliament buildings and the French Gothic architecture of the Chateau Laurier. The Health Club Manager, Carrie Brown, is always available to help and promptly responds to any questions, suggestions and requests for advice. I highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend the massage therapy at the Westin! My latest session with Lisa L. was extremely therapeutic and her professionalism and competence were exceptional. My previous RMT at the Westin, Elke, is also highly professional and her treatments were very effective over the years I was seeing her. I look forward to continuing treatment with Lisa and again I highly recommend this facility, not only for massage but also as a health and fitness facility.

Fantastic experience: I have a Westin health club membership that I use weekly during my work breaks. The gym is convenient, clean and the brand new workout equipment is perfect! The hot tub and sauna are also great. Highly recommend this membership!

Fantastic experience: Есть сауна и жакузи

Fantastic experience: Parmi les gyms que j’ai essayé à Ottawa, celui-ci est le mieux tenu. En général, les salles de conditionnement sont silencieuses bien que dernièrement, la musique dans le corridor de la salle de musculation vient perturber ce calme. Quant à moi, cette musique est totalement inutile. Les autres membres sont accueillants. Par contre, j’aime moins y aller les weekends parce qu’il y a trop de parents qui ne respectent pas les consignes quant à l’utilisation de la piscine, du tourbillon et du sauna

Positive experience: Bien équipé pour un gym d'hôtel... Sans plu$ !

Fantastic experience: Better than my local club!

Fantastic experience: beautiful place to train, simply magnificent...

Fantastic experience: This was awesome, so much better than expected I'd recommend this to my friends!

Fantastic experience: Great massage therapy session.

Fantastic experience: Jose is one of the best! Very attentive and responsive to the issues.

Fantastic experience: love it

Fantastic experience: Wanrapa is a great massage therapist. The sauna and gym are a great plus after a massage.

Fantastic experience: Wanrapa (Kung) is a marvelous therapist! I experienced another wonderful massage by her yesterday. I hope she stays at the Westin Ottawa forever!

Fantastic experience: Nicole is an amazing therapist and I always leave feeling relaxed and rejuvenated . Highly recommend her services

Fantastic experience: Lovely place to work out overlooking the best of the Ottawa skyline, and a really good massage by Lisa at the Massage Therapy Centre.

Fantastic experience: Great spot for a massage as you can use their fitness facility before and after your appointment.

Fantastic experience: I have been visiting the westin health club for years and have no complaints. Very professional and amazing service.

Fantastic experience: Cool pour les enfants

Fantastic experience: Awesomeness.

Fantastic experience: Cant say enough about the set up and facilities offered at the westin. Pool was perfect for running some laps or bouncing around with kids. The exercise room was clean and the equipment was excellent. Very cool view of the city when running on treadmills. Access also to squash courts and a basketball court. Nice change rooms and fresh towels. Well done Westin.

Fantastic experience: I come here fairly frequently for massages, and have nothing bad to say! The team here is excellent, the prices are quite reasonable, and the ability to relax in the pool/hot tub/sauna before and after one's massage is quite pleasant. I highly recommend coming here for a massage, or any other needs. (I am aware there is a fitness center but have never used it, although it seems quite well equipped).

Fantastic experience: Very good massage services. I have never ever been disappointed once. All of the R.M. T's are excellent! Great to soak in the hot tub before and/after treatment. Thanks to R.M.T Jennifer for an awesome massage!

Fantastic experience: Friendly, competent staff who take the time to ease aches and pains.

Negative experience: Les gamins qui viennent se baigner avec les couches sous leurs maillot de bain....les parents en short ...aucun contrôle n'est fait sur les tenues...ya du chlore certes, mais qd même. Quand j'ai vu le gamin sortir du jacuzzi avec sa couche sous son maillot de bain....inutile de dire que je n'y ai pas mis les pieds !!!!!

Fantastic experience: Excellent facilities

Fantastic experience: Everything you want in a fitness center

Positive experience: Not very good for weights but okay for cardio. Relatively new cardio equipment but not a varied selection

Fantastic experience: Awesome pool

Fantastic experience: Nice gym, as hotel gyms go

Fantastic experience: Great staff. Very helpful and friendly

Fantastic experience: great massage by wonderful staff! I also love that there is complementary use of the pool/hot tub included in the price of the massage.

Fantastic experience: I see Nicole every time I visit Ottawa. She is an amazing RMT who combines a number of techniques to make me feel great. Nicole can often find trouble spots that I cannot and I always leave my massage feeling noticeably better. I highly recommend her to anyone in the Ottawa area.

Fantastic experience: Michelle Moraes is the best Massage therapist I've ever come across! Will always recommend

Fantastic experience: I have herniated discs pinching nerves in my neck and lower back. I normally take nabilone for pain managment and alternating cortisone shots. I attened a confrnce for a week when I had forgotted my meds. A quick massage during lunch was able to get me back on my fee for the rest of the week. The worker was very knowlagable.

Fantastic experience: Used the gym 4 times during my stay. It is better than most hotel gyms, but could use some more barbells. I also had a massage by Nicole, RMT, which was awesome. I loved that this service was offered in a hotel gym.

Fantastic experience: Experienced and professional RMTs. Would definitely recommend! Michelle Morales was amazing.

Fantastic experience: Michelle is an excellent RMT—so sweet and personable! The use of the pool and facilities is a great added bonus!

Fantastic experience: Just what I needed after a few busy days in Ottawa!!! Relaxing, professional massage. Staff are awesome!! I'll be back.....

Fantastic experience: Clean, professional, relaxing and the best massage services with outstanding massage therapists.

Fantastic experience: Love the gym and massage. For massage ask for Michelle Maroes, you won't be disappointed, she is a great massage therapist my back and shoulders always feel better because of her massage.

Fantastic experience: I always book with Nicole for my massages. She is absolutely amazing and can find the source of any physical pain I've been feeling even if it seems unrelated. I leave feeling so great and I would never go see anyone else!

Fantastic experience: The westin health club is a fantastic place to get massages. I looked around Ottawa for a while before I found this place. They allow 15 minutes before your massage in order for you to get ready, use the washroom etc, so that you’re not rushed. Ive has massages with Michelle, Nicole and Elke, depending on what time I book, and are all very talented massage therapists. The facilities are also awesome.. they have a nice pool & very relaxing jacuzzi. And the gym is great. Would highly recommend! Have been for my birthday and other special occasions, when me and the boyfriend want to relax on a day off.

Fantastic experience: Love the facility! This is a hidden gem in Ottawa. In addition the masseuse was fantastic. She made me feel comfortable, asked lots of questions and did a really good job. I felt like a million bucks afterwards. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Michelle provided excellent service and was extremely accommodating and professional. A wonderful experience and service.

Positive experience: excellent place for massage

Negative experience: My daughter and I each had a massage. I asked for a relaxation massage but received nothing more than a gentle rub. There was no light kneading into my muscles at all. My daughter is a rugby player and asked for a full body therapeutic massage. All she received was an upper body light kneading that did nothing for her sore muscles. Her lower body was ignored. We were both disappointed, and while the RMTs were courteous and professional, the massage was sub-par. It’s a disgrace to have to pay for a bad massage.

Fantastic experience: Thanks for the great massage! My back feels much better.

Fantastic experience: Serah is wonderful!

Fantastic experience: I recommend it.

Fantastic experience: Wery good service And professionnel! Thanks

Fantastic experience: Michelle is really great. I always wait to book with her.

Fantastic experience: It experienced a relaxing and soothing massage with just the right pressure of touch to sore muscles. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: Very professional therapeutic massage in relaxing, spa-like environment. I rely on their services for sports-related injuries or when I just need a bit of destressing.

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Michelle Moraes for massage therapy. She has been very professional and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend her.

Fantastic experience: I really liked the neck techniques that Wanrapa used, she made me feel relaxed and I don't feel any tension or soreness today.

Fantastic experience: Great massage and very relaxing place. Would definitely recommend it!

Fantastic experience: I originally started going to the executive fitness leaders for massage to take advantage of the gym facility. That was 4 years ago and though the gym facility is an added bonus, the trained and educated massage therapists are exceptional. I've seen Michelle Moraes a few times now and couldn't be happier.

Fantastic experience: Nicolle is an excellent masseuse. She is knowlegeable and considerate.

Positive experience: Both my daughter and I had massages that were excellent. We felt Aromatherapy should be included in the massage. Bring your own sandals or slippers. The sauna after is wonderful. Quiet , clean and comfortable.

Fantastic experience: Great Massage, registered RMT and you can use the facilities before or after

Fantastic experience: Terrific therapist, very knowledgeable....

Positive experience: I'm an occasional user of this space primarily from the spa services angle. While access to the health club is included with a massage, the quality of the service to access the health club has gone down. A new company has taken over this part of the business. It used to include towels and a robe and someone would be at the desk at the 6th floor to greet you etc. Now massage is only 1 day a week (ok fine) but no robes or towels are offered and access card is collected from the front desk. Just not as smooth and welcoming and "spa service" as it used to be. The masseuse is absolutely lovely though, but she is at other locations too so...

Positive experience: It was soothing I think I feel asleep but I regret about the time slot I went for as I didn't know what to expect from the massager
