Fit4Less

Positive experience: Clean and friendly place

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Adnin at the front desk was so helpful, thanks!

Fantastic experience: Very convenient location, but you can find cheaper elsewhere. It is crowded starting from 4PM to 8PM

Fantastic experience: Good place to workout, gets crowded during evenings and weekends

Negative experience: Be careful, got robed here. Took my bank card from my locker

Negative experience: My card declined at the entrance because of a mechanical issue at the revolving door, and there was no staff working to help resolve the problem. After planning all day to go to the gym at this hour, I was denied access and so was many others whom I later witnessed being unable to enter the gym. This sucks

Negative experience: Black card users said they can share it with friends. One person can only do it in one space ^^What kind of right is this to advertise? The manager doesn't listen to me. First, call the safety personnel. He's a scary person. He should never go.

Negative experience: VERY SMALL AND PARKING IS HARD TO FIND. DISABILITY & ACCESSIBILITY WISE HERE IS ZERO . ME AND MY SERVICE DOG GOT STUCK TRYING TO GO IN ………..LITERALLY TRAPED INSIDE THE DOORWAY FOR OVER 10 MIN. THIS WAS LAST THURSDAY AND WHEN I ASKED TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO USE THE STAFF DOOR THE ATTENDANT WHO FINALLY CAME SAID SHE IS NOT ALLOWED. SO LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT THERE IS A DOOR WIDE ENOUGH FOR WHEELCHAIRS BUT INSTEAD ME AND MY SERVICE DOG ARE STUCK IN BETWEEN DOORS INSTEAD AND YOU CANNOT GIVE ME ACCESS YET AS A TWO YEAR CUSTOMER I HAVE ACEESS TO ALL OTHER FIT4LESS HANDICAP ACEESS NO PROBLEM. FYI IT IS LITERALLY AGAINST THE LAW TO NOT DO SO. ## LAKING TRAINING>####WE NEED STRONGER DISABILITY LAWS

Positive experience: Very crowded

Negative experience: Gym was fine but one of the male managers was very disrespectful to one of the female workers right in front of me. Wish I had of said something but made me feel very uncomfortable.

Positive experience: Listen this gym is underwhelming. It has the bare minimum to pass for a fitness center. I recommend coming early in the morning or late evening. It however is a great convenience for any Black card holders who work downtown

Fantastic experience: You get what you pay for, I find the staff nice and enough space and equipment to get my workout in!

Positive experience: Great place when you are not busy, if you run out of water Pete’s or the cafe will fill it up for you, only downsides are that there is no form of swifter or mop for the stretch mats leaving them sandy and really gross, and that PIPES LEAK EVERYWHERE ALL THE TIME if you are hitting chest and using a bench pray you don’t get a drop in your eye!! Super gross otherwise not bad.

Positive experience: Pipes leaking and dripping water everywhere, poor ventilation leads to poor smell (strong B/O smell) sometimes. Overall nice selection of equipment though and friendly staff

Positive experience: Signed up with my boyfriend today. We had a fun time using all the machines and stretching and exercising together.

Fantastic experience: My fav gym!

Negative experience: This gym is frequented by people who don't wear deodorant. The BO stench is so bad during peak hours. I'm honestly going to switch gyms because of this.

Positive experience: Very quite and clean gym, but could use a water fountain .

Positive experience: Great gym for price and location, clean and friendly environment but missing barbell squat rack which is a necessity and so extra cables would be nice.

Negative experience: This place is rarely staffed when they say they will be. Even when it is sometimes it’s impossible to find a staff if you want to tan or use one of your “black card” perks. Staff will sit in the office on their phones ignoring people at the desk. DO NOT recommend going to this location

Negative experience: Came to Halifax from Newfoundland & purchased a black card membership expecting it to be like the one in St. John’s & it is literally the worst Fit4less I’ve ever been to. No blackroom (which in my opinion should be bolded when you’re signing up for this location because otherwise why buy a black card), the space is excessively small for such a densely populated city, & the gym has very minimal equipment. I cancelled my pass non refundable pass the day after getting it. I have no idea why anyone would go here. What a waste of money.

Fantastic experience: I like this gym,staff was very kind :)

Positive experience: It's fine to get some workout and privilege of getting in as a blackcard member. Unfortunately, its size speaks itself, no blackcard exclusive room. I think it needs improvement in order to serve better.

Fantastic experience: Really good gym in a great location with friendly staff and cool folks working out. You can shop, work out, and dine, without leaving the building.

Positive experience: I am finding it very hard to keep going to this location because it's so hot in there. I asked staff about AC and they said they don't control it. With the sun beaming into the weight area it's like a sauna. How can there not be AC blasting for people working out?

Positive experience: Quite a clean place and staff is very helpful.

Positive experience: Cheap spot, best for students. Kind of congested and could get sweaty during peak hours. 24*7 working hour is a bonus for working professionals.

Fantastic experience: Great location,, very clean and has wide range of equipment for cardio n weights

Positive experience: Would rate higher but they’ve had machines needing repairs for over a month. Gross toilets and could have better range of weights.

Positive experience: It would be great if you could accommodate battle ropes

Positive experience: Hate how theres no proper water dispenser, you have to get it from the washroom sink tap. Love the new equipments tho.

Positive experience: I’ve been going to this gym for half a year now and I’ve never had a complaint. It’s open 24x7 and hence makes life much easier for people who are busy through the day! The only change I would want this place to implement is a machines that aren’t available in this gym. Otherwise, the other machines do the base job so it’s not a complaint, just a suggestion.

Negative experience: Very limited equipment for a gym of this popularity, very limited floor space, not nearly enough racks for use. NO free weight barbell racks. As per usual another gym with mostly unused cardio equipment ... wish people would learn how to build a decent gym. Washrooms here are almost always disgusting. Only good thing I can say is the hours are good.

Negative experience: No squat rack

Fantastic experience: Mostly clean and the atmosphere is great! People who goes to this location are mostly regulars and very serious about their trainings. If you are committed to a good motivational gym this is it!

Negative experience: Limited equipment, floor space, racks, recovery equipment. Missing the essential stairmaster. Good hours and cheap. Going to be cancelling my black card. 2022/10/25 edit: Still no Olympic platforms, still no free-weight barbell racks, still no abdominal wheel. Wish there was any improvement....

Negative experience: Tried to cancel a membership because I’m moving to a different country… took 2 weeks of calling and messaging. Every time I went to the gym there is no staff. There’s no notice of staff hours either now. I tried messaging fit4less on sns account, usually they reply, but because I mentioned canceling they avoided me. Not to mention after all of this I have to pay for another 30 days. Black card membership is pretty much pointless now because half off the perks before are gone. They should add the cancel option back online if they aren’t going to have much staff in the store….

Fantastic experience: Amazing value for the money. Great staff.

Fantastic experience: Good

Negative experience: I have an annual membership and it’s “ok”. Moderately well equipped gym. But as I come 5times a week I see disgusting washrooms. I saw this yesterday and today as well, which means nobody took care of it in the last 24 hours… After the previous post, the problem still exists! Literally nobody is cleaning here, it’s disgusting!

Negative experience: Showers are disgusting, I bring my own cleaning supplies since none are available in there. Staff seem to always be hiding in back. Cheap membership but not worth it! Would rather pay a bit more for a clean facility and staff that want to help you.

Fantastic experience: Smaller gym, but they do well with the space they have. Customer service is fantastic.

Fantastic experience: Good machine and everything

Fantastic experience: I love fit4less because it is open 24/7 so I go wee hours in the early morning and do my workout with no holdups.Daytime some people are on there phones holding up equipment when others are there to train.Very disrespectful my opinion.

Positive experience: Small gym compared to other fit4less gyms. Lacking a water fountain Bring your own bottle if you don’t have to pay for the drinks!

Negative experience: Did not have staff without notice and I couldn’t get in without a pass.

Positive experience: Good gym for price, could always have more of the popular equipment at busy hours (cable machine, free weight benches), but overall good gym.

Positive experience: Value for money place for gym Free parking at basement In lively downtown area

Positive experience: I like how they use there space, it's not a big place, but its very well laid out. Its at a good price point at around $14 taxes in every 2 weeks, like you probably spend more on beer.

Fantastic experience: Best bang for your buck gym in the city. Highly recommend for anyone from beginners to experienced lifters!

Negative experience: worst gym in Halifax downtown. Elevator not working properly, Entrance scanner not working, Parking operator in gym not working, parking lot Intercom staff so rude. Please verify properly before enroll.

Positive experience: I like it a lot.. its clean and low profile. At first staff weren’t too friendly. I has everything you need to exercise

Negative experience: I've been to this gym before and it's pretty decent. But trying to cancel my membership here has been a hassle. I've tried calling multiple times and no one picks up. I can't go to the location in person as I'm out of province now and there is no email address listed for them.

Negative experience: Beth - your staff being paid minimum wage is not a good enough excuse for being rude and unprofessional towards the customers. You are not empowering them to deal with difficult customers. You are empowering them to be bullies. Just because you say you don't care about google reviews doesn't mean that burying your head in the sand is the solution to people's complaints on here. I was taken aback by how arrogant your staff were until I talked to you. Then I was like, ah so that's where they get their attitude from.

Negative experience: Unprofessional management that does not understand how to run a productive and safe business environment for staff and customers. The low cost comes at a high price...

Negative experience: The staff at night aren't checking vaccination status and don't answer the phone despite sitting in the back room. They leave the main door locked (not the door you use your card to open) and you can only get in once someone else leaves - it's like this whether or not they're at capacity. Five people walked out before I could reach the door and then I had to wait 10 mins till someone else left to get in.

Negative experience: Very unprofessional staff and they are disturbing in between the workout like they do clean the mirrors during the workout and manager should need to deal with these issues and they need to set a separate schedule for the cleaning. Especially for the mirrors.

Fantastic experience: Nice gym had no problems parking in the weekend

Negative experience: Rude staff who seem to take offence when asked clarifying questions even though they constantly give out conflicting information. Probably the most peculiar front desk service I've ever received. When staff did not do their job right and provide the wrong information and you correct them, you have to sugarcoat your complaint in order to not hurt their feelings otherwise they will walk away leaving you confused. Staff definitely throw their weight around way too much. Judging based on the google reviews here, i'm not the only one who felt this way. Cheap gym though, can't beat the price.

Positive experience: It's OK but pretty busy and no water fountain!

Positive experience: Ive read the reviews here and wondered why it ranked so low. Honestly from what I read, I personally can say that the staff I had no issues with. Someone was sitting at the door verifying proof of vaccination prior to entering and they seemed welcoming. The washrooms/change rooms seemed clean despite’s it being a very busy gym (went on a Saturday at 11 to see how busy it really got). Plenty of lockers to keep your personal items in. The gym, I find big enough but lack of some equipment. I was going in there with the hopes that there would be a squat rack or deadlift station but all they had was smith machines. I didn’t find a row machine but there’s a lot of treadmills. My biggest issue while being there was a lot of people (I realize I went at a busy time) and lack of space in the weight are to workout due to having so many people. For the price, I would recommend this location. If you are very picky with your gym layout/personal space while working out, then this one I don’t feel would suite your needs but again, cannot go wrong with the price. The black card membership is also good at any locations and me coming from BC, It was an easy go when I found this gym.

Negative experience: Horrible workers they don’t wear their masks they demand everyone to wear their mask and a few of them are just plain rude! And the office door is always closed because they are always on their phones feet up and maskless,

Positive experience: It's a decent gym, especially for the price. I just wish they had similar structure for all their locations. The one on Dresdon is quite crammed and doesn't have as many machines as the one in Clayton park/Dartmouth.

Fantastic experience: 5 stars if you are not looking for a gym with fitness classes or personal trainer. Definitely a well equipped gym with almost all the necessary work out equipment and weights, plus perks with black card membership like massage chairs, tanning room, 1/2 price cooler drinks etc. The price for membership can not be beaten; $5.99 every two weeks for regular membership with one location access and $11.99 every two weeks for black card membership with access to all locations plus the above perks. Free underground parking is a plus. The only issue I see, is the tight space, the gym easily gets congested.

Positive experience: Good gym, decent equipment and price, I do wish they would put hand sanitizer in more places than the front desk. People have to keep touching their masks without sanitizing their hands and it's not very hygenic.

Fantastic experience: A great gym

Fantastic experience: parking is the only issue. $3 every time for 1 hr parking . its more than what we pay for gym

Negative experience: I am ending my membership here. The restrictions and services under COVID are terrible. I booked an appointment online from 2pm to 3pm today. When I reached there at 2:20pm. I was refused to enter and told that I need to re-book the appointment because I was 20 mins late?? Then the next available appointment is at 3:30?? Nothing was mention online about this rule. Unbelievable restrictions and service. Waste of my F time. Never come back to here again.

Negative experience: No judgement doesn’t exist here, staff is extremely rude. Not like the other locations, the only thing I look forward to was ruined as they made me hate my workout at this location.

Positive experience: Difficult to deal with when trying to cancel membership

Fantastic experience: Great value for the cost. Clean with a decent selection of equipment. Definitely one of their smaller locations

Positive experience: Staff is not friendly..I understand it's a no frills gym but aleast they can be slightly helpful or I would settle for nice...the gym is atleast clean

Negative experience: I saw something that looks like bedbug at the gym. The whole gym should be inspected so that people won’t unknowingly take bedbug to their homes. Now I am scared to go back to the gym. Also, the hip abduction machine has been broken down for a year now and it has not being fixed till now. Poor management

Positive experience: I love this gym and love the staff. They leave me alone to do my workout but are there if I need anything. It is not an overpriced gym with loads of staff on, so you do have to track them down at times, but they are so easy going and helpful. Equipment: For the price you pay to go to this gym (compared to pretty much anywhere else), they've got more than enough equipment for any type of workout/ exercise. And most of it is new and works perfectly. Sometimes there's a wait, but people are usually willing to share. Or, you can just go use something else in the meantime. Mirrors: There are only about 4 mirrors and they are all clustered in one little section, as a result, you get a lot of people crammed into a small section of the gym trying to watch their form. You can usually find room though. Pro: areas without mirrors are usually a LOT less cluttered. Water fountain: there is none. For less than $30 a month for all the gym I need, I'll bring my own water. Showers: I haven't used them but I'm pretty they're open 24/7. (I'd confirm that with the staff though). Tanning beds: seriously, these are fantastic. Such a nice bonus if you can squeeze it in before/ after your workout. The location is perfect for me, and I find the gym cleaner than, pretty much, anywhere else I go daily in the city.

Negative experience: The Staff do not enforce the zero tolerance mask policy. I go in there frequently and see people walking around without their masks on. I know that you are likely healthy if you are going to the gym, but I do not like the risk. I have left early because at least 50% of the people walking around (not using machines) were without mask. please enforce your policies during this global crisis. Many "mask exemptions" are BS.

Positive experience: Very nice place , has all the required equipment that one needs. Front desk is really helpful. Have to wear a mask when walking around then can get some air when stationed in one place. Give it a look

Positive experience: Nice place to work out, if you know how to use the equipment. There is broken equipment however there are other equipment that can compensate for the broken one. The staff is rude. Not everyone though. Heard from some folks that they don't go back because they feel intimidated by the rude behavior. Cleanliness is improving. As for online booking.. there is never a slot or a day available..

Fantastic experience: I like this gym.

Negative experience: Never ever sign up with them. I signed up for a month to month contract, cancelled it but they keep charging me. When I told them about this, they said they had by accidentally enrolled me in a year program and couldn’t cancel it. They would keep charging me even though it was THEIR mistake. Absolutely atrocious. Please don’t give them your money or bank information, you will come to regret it.

Fantastic experience: Well maintained but the equipments are too close and have less space around.

Negative experience: Poor staffing attitude like no one wants to be there, want to cancel or call anyone? Good luck, wanna take my money though? They'll be right at my door.

Positive experience: The price is great for what you get, lots of cardio equipment however weights section there may be a bit of wait while you work out as this area is always busy with ppl.

Fantastic experience: Good facility

Fantastic experience: 3 days now and the overall experience is good, nice staff and friendly environment, I can't complain

Positive experience: Wasn't has bad as some of these reviews say, some machines are down but its seemed from people legit breaking the metal off things ‍♂️ Good vibes and freadly staff for sure

Negative experience: Pros: cheap, location Cons: crowded, limited machines, takes literally months for any machine to be repaired. Good luck booking a gym time that works for you.

Negative experience: I went that location for new membership and when I buzzer the guest ring one lady came and she didn’t allow me to come inside she said that you can’t come inside you have to wait for 30 minutes for any new membership I wear the mask also but without any reason when I try to ask her about why I have to wait for 30 minutes then she just run away and she use f word for me she said I can’t do any thing I have membership in Ontario before but I didn’t see this type of customer service and rudeness any where i chose not to go on that location and I went to another location that happened yesterday hope some one see this comment so that no body else have that rude attitude given by that girl I went yesterday at 2 pm on 5 of October 2020

Positive experience: Pretty quiet. Didn't have to wait for any equipment to free up. -1 star for not having a deadlift station (or at least one I could find)

Negative experience: The gym is overall good, but since I joined I have just seen the number of machines out of order rising and none being fixed! It was the same before covid-19 too. Even a few of the staff members are very unfriendly. Except that, I like the gym.

Negative experience: I paid for a 24 hour gym, now it closes at 10pm, and think they can keep charging me until the end of the original contract. Wasn't worth the money before covid either.

Negative experience: Walked in did a set and walked out no equipment. it's packed full, no parking. And if theirs AC it definately wasn't on when I was their. I gusse you get what you pay for do yourself a favour and just go somewhere else

Negative experience: No water fountain or free source of drinking water. Usually a little bit on the dirty side. I kept tabs on a banana peel hanging out of a locker for like a month until it disappeared. Now I can't even go out for my twilight hour workouts, so I don't really see the appeal in going right now at all. Haven't been to the location in about 6 months, but I am/have been stuck paying for my membership despite this for the whole pandemic, while getting spammed with home workout ideas as if that equates to the cost of my membership.

Fantastic experience: Now it’s safer

Positive experience: It is honestly a good gym at very cheap price. Even it's cheaper than India. The only downside is no trainer but come on, Who'd expect trainer on these prices. So, I would suggest this gym if you know how to exercise otherwise a common guy should have training first as how to lift weight is important than how much to weight. Staff is also good, Friendly and cheerful. The last thing I'd say is traffic in gym, that's too much so the lines are during covid time but I got to know that a new gym is also opening at Clayton Park soon.

Positive experience: Convenient, pretty good for the price

Fantastic experience: It is exactly what it is fit for less showers are available when staff are on sight in this 24 hour gym that do to its downtown halifax location is a very busy spot and sometimes hard to get on some of the machines

Positive experience: Overcrowded

Negative experience: Given the membership price, my expectations are in line. But over the past 6 months this specific club has seen a decline. Staff seem unfriendly, unmotivated, and the place is always dirty - especially changing rooms and the washrooms. Equipment requiring service takes weeks to repair, and this club has no water fountain period.

Negative experience: I signed up for fit4less less than 2 months ago as a black card member. The gym is so bad I ended up buying a second membership at goodlife. The staff are not helpful and also rude (on dresden row). I left my card out of province and had to get my friend to send it back to me in the mail and the staff told me I was a nuisance and that I should pay for a new card after explaining i’d be getting my card back within the week. the cards don’t even come in a key chain size so they are easy to lose. The equipment is awful and limited. There is no space. There are barely any mirrors and one broken mirror. There are no water fountains. The lockers are tiny and the change rooms are few so sometimes you have to wait a while. 10/10 do not recommend.

Fantastic experience: Good, humble. Nothing fancy, just plain workout and fitness.
