MOVATI Athletic Manning: Opinions
Fantastic experience: The facility is nice, it's clean, and has a lot to offer. I've been coming here for a while now. And since day one, it's been consistent. Looking forward to the new year.
Negative experience: Nice gym, but the gym hours are awful they close early and have random staff events. Staff can be friendly, shower floors can be a little more cleaner.
Hi Brayden, The early closure was for a staff Christmas party. This is not a regular occurrence. There were 3 app notifications and signs posted for 2 weeks at the front desk informing members of the closure. If you have your app notifications turned on, we will be sure to keep you fully informed.
Fantastic experience: I'm eating McDonald's in your parking lot right now. Get used to it!
Negative experience: Decent gym, however just drove half an hour for it to be closed for a staff event. Paid for g access that I did not receive today. Also says it’s open online. Would have appreciated an email or notification on their own app. Wasted gas money, time and an off day. Saw several cars pull up to notice it was closed as well. Great care for your patrons what a tight knit community!! lol sad.
Hi Eve, we sent 3 push notifications through the app and placed signs at the front desk for 2 weeks prior to the closure. Please check to ensure you have the latest version of the app and the notifications are turned on.
Negative experience: Horrible hours. They will close early without any advance notice.
Hi Elly, any changes to the gym house are communicated through the app. For the closure of the gym for our staff party we sent 3 push notifications. Please ensure you have the latest version of the app with notifications turned on.
Negative experience: I called once just to ask a few ques about the membership but didnt want to sign up since its pricey and the reviews here, arent the best but every week or so, i get a phone call from them. i had to block the number but omg take a hint! are u that desperate for clients lol
Negative experience: Facilities are kept clean which I can appreciate. HOWEVER, the women’s only weight section is small - only 1 cable machine.. ridiculous. You also cannot get out of the membership once they’ve got you.. I signed up before they even opened, there were MANY advertisements about a reformer Pilates studio. I think many people assumed it would be included or at least fair pricing for the reformer Pilates.. not only are you paying ~$30 bi-weekly for your membership, your also paying about $30 PER CLASS. The sales associate suckered me into paying for a Pilates class bundle. The instructor didn’t know what she was doing, and then harassed you to sign up for more classes when you got to the end of your class package. Why would I pay for this when I can go to House of Lagree or Club Pilates for THE EXACT SAME or CHEAPER per class with no membership? At least the instructors would know what they’re doing…
Hi Jorja, along with our reformer Pilates studio which is a paid service you have 165 group fitness classes per week included with your membership. I would suggest your supplement the reformer program with the hot yoga, cycling, mat Pilates, aqua and many other classes to get the most out of your membership!
Negative experience: Crazy how you can’t cancel your membership when you’re in the 12 month contract. And that detail was never explained when I signed up to the gym. Now I feel like I need to be going there every day before I move to be getting my $$ worth. Not very demure, not very mindful.
Fantastic experience: Amazing gym that has everything in one place. Welcoming staff and very clean. There are many fitness classes to choose from. I really enjoy hot yoga classes and having access to a pool, hot tub and steam and dry sauna's. It feels like a spa!
Fantastic experience: I’ve had the pleasure of working with Jordan as my personal trainer, and I can’t recommend him enough! From the very beginning, he took the time to understand my fitness goals and created a personalized plan that was both challenging and achievable. Jordan’s expertise and motivation kept me on track, and I’ve seen incredible improvements in my strength, endurance, and overall fitness. Beyond his professional skills, Jordan is supportive, encouraging, and always brings a positive energy to each session. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares about your progress and pushes you to reach your full potential, Jordan is the trainer you want!
Fantastic experience: Randi is the best personal trainer I've had in the last 10 years. She has significantly improved my muscle strength and movements with my chronic SI joint pain without causing flare ups. The pain is almost non existent and I finally feel capable and confident in the gym and day to day life with heavier labor work. The facilities are very clean, well maintained and staff make everyone feel welcome. Love going here
Fantastic experience: I’m not sure where else I can give praise but hope it gets to the right person. Maryjun (Mj) is literally why I look forward to coming to Movati. I took my very first reformers Pilates class with a different instructor and felt super uncomfy and unwelcome, it felt like they were trying to make commission off me, rather than actually caring about my reformers journey. I tried one more class with MJ and I’ve been hooked ever since. Mj will truly make you feel like you’re capable of anything when it comes to fitness, she’s always smiling and truly cares about your journey, even if you only take one class with her. I’ve developed so many skills in her class and bought 30 sessions because of her! She treats you like her bestfriend, celebrates you in every way and does the absolute most for everyone in her classes. I will be doing all 30 sessions with her. If you are thinking about taking reformers, take a class with MJ you won’t regret it! This is what I expected from movati and she truly delivered.
Negative experience: Great gym but the membership you’re locked if you like it or not. Which is not fair. It’s either you find someone to take over your membership or you pay out your member ship which is a couple thousand depending how far you’re into your contract. Hopefully they change that soon.
Fantastic experience: I love this gym. I’ve been a member since they opened and it is by far the best gym I’ve been to. There are a few things that set this gym apart. The team: The staff are amazing—everyone is friendly and kind and you’re always greeted when you walk in the door. The class instructors are also amazing—I especially enjoy taking classes with Marcy, Savana, Seniha, and Anton. The classes: I LOVE the variety and number of classes offered at Movati. The instructors are all great. The workouts are challenging but doable for beginners or more experienced folks, and they’re really fun. This is the main type of workout I do and I never get bored. Some classes do fill up quickly, but there are always lots of options. And the booking system through the app works well. The facilities: This is a really modern, clean, big gym with so many options. The pool, the steam room and sauna, the equipment, and the different spaces are all so great. Plus it doesn’t usually feel that busy/crowded. And the level of cleanliness is truly impressive. Overall, if you’re considering joining, I would say do it!
Fantastic experience: Enrolled in a six week group training program designed by coach Anton called Kickstart Your Fitness Journey. It provided a full picture of what successful training looks like and how to do it safely. It helped give me the knowledge and confidence to start my journey of reaching my fitness goals. As for the facility and staff, 5 stars as well. The facility is Clean, well maintained and lots of equipment and services. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. The selection of personal trainers and classes a great.
Negative experience: I have been a member at the othe windermere location of Movati for more than 3 years. Wanted to workout at the North location but denied entry as I hold classic membership. So nothing based on Lotalti for a someone who is a member at Movati for more than 3 years. The supervisor (Jay) I spoke to demanding $15 entry fee. What a HORRIBLE customer service and so cheap of Movati to be like this with a long time member. Shame!!
Hi Aziz, if you want to access all Movati locations you can upgrade your membership for all club access. The team member at the front was simply enforcing the policy consistent with your membership type.
Fantastic experience: Honestly pretty good I've been going there and people are more friendly I find them the other gyms I've tried
Positive experience: The facility is great and they have lot to offer for the price. The trainers and staff are also very respectful and helpful. The only reason I don't give a 5 star rating is due to inconsistencies in what they say they offer during the sales pitch, which I later find out they stopped doing shortly after I signed up. One example is their referral program, which they stopped and did not give the rewards even after members had already referred people to sign up. I love working put there, I just hope they keep they keep to the promises they make during the sales pitch.
Fantastic experience: This is going to be a long review, but worth a read when signing up for this gym as it will help you have the best experience :) Let's start off with staff members, who you should definitely go to from the minute you walk in. RAWAN - She is one of the friendliest, hard working sales person there. Anything you need she will help you with and she cares for what you need in a gym and will always make sure to make you comfortable there and feel welcomed. She's always happy and smiling and definitely makes you feel like you are family when you walk in and she's there. I hope one day she becomes a supervisor, she deserves it!! She takes pride in her work and it shows!!! If you need a membership make sure to go to her! If she isn't available go see KUNAL, He's always very passionate about his job and will make sure you get whatever is best for you! JAY - BY FAR THE BEST SUPERVISOR THERE!!!! I honestly think he needs to be the new GM for the new Albany location, from the first day they opened Jay has always asked me if I'm happy with the gym, if I need anything or if there's anything that needs to be changed. He constantly cares about the members and always makes sure he knows the members by name and greats them whenever we walk in or out. Any concern you have he resolves it instantly without making you feel like you are a bother, and when I say this man works day and night to make sure the staff has the help they need is an understatement, he's always there to make sure everyone is happy! Highly recommend going to jay about anything you need. He's truly a gem! Front Staff - Michelle, Elisha, Brian, Rakan & Ola - AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!!! They are truly the nicest people, they see over 200 people walk in there everyday and they always talk to me, and treat me like I'm part of their family. By far the best front end staff I've ever seen at any gym. Personal Trainers I've never had a personal trainer there but the staff always help me if I need someone to spot me or check my form, they correct me if need be and always say hi. I highly recommend - Pierre & Jordan Last but not least the GM Mark, I've never seen someone with the highest position in a corporation help his staff the way Mark does. Instead of bossing everyone around he goes out of his way to do the job with them to show everyone is equal, he is literally on his hands and knees cleaning up the gym and make sure the place is spotless. He speaks to each member that walks in and makes sure the staff members are happy. I've also seen that he takes pride in his employees and encourages them to always try and become better and achieve higher positions/goals. He will stand with his staff until they make it to their goals, it's rare to see a GM work closely with his staff and is always present, so definitely nice to see. Overall the gym is amazing, I've been going there since they opened and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this gym to everyone! The doors are always open to everyone and you will always feel welcomed. 15 years of going to the gym and this is by far the best experience I've ever had. If you are thinking of finding a new gym or wanting to start the gym this is absolutely the place to be. Thank you to everyone there, even on the days I don't want to go to the gym the staff members definitely make it easier to show up! I appreciate you all :)
Fantastic experience: Thank you to everyone today at the front desk. Your help with my account is much appreciated. Great training on customer service and looks like a great work environment.
Negative experience: Nice gym but the sales person lied to us just to get the sale. Not impressed.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing Carrie for the last couple of months and I can say without a doubt it’s been the best decision I’ve made in my fitness journey.
Fantastic experience: Love it here! The morning staff is just so amazing, Rokiya and Natasha are very nice and helpful. Rokiya gave me the tour on the women’s section, had to get a membership immediately!
Negative experience: I have been a member of Movati for almost two years, having previously attended a different location. Recently, I received an email about Reformer Pilates, mentioning a cost of $20 for up to 12 sessions. To get some clarification, I called the front desk. Unfortunately, Matt, who answered my call, was unhelpful and condescending. When I asked to speak with someone from the Reformer Pilates department, he became defensive, insisting he was the right person to talk to. As the conversation continued, his tone became increasingly rude. There is a much more respectful way to communicate, and I’ve noticed that a few individuals at this location seem ill-suited for customer service.
Fantastic experience: There are individuals in this world that "work hard" (no pun intended) at making your time "working out" an INCREDIBLE experience. And that lady is ADDI PUSKAS. My daughter & son-in- law convinced me, an old (71 year old) out of shape and overweight man to join Movati, as they were members at the Windermere gym. I joined the Manning location prior to it even being constructed. In the "introduction" interview they asked me what I wanted from this gym. After a number of other questions, Movati suggested that "my requirements" would best be filled by Addi. Addi is an INCREDIBLE young lady. Probably the BEST PERSONAL TRAINER north of the equator!!! She ALWAYS encourages you, ALWAYS gives you positive feedback, ALWAYS tells you "you can do it - 2 more" and/or "you got this" and/or "good work". And she shows interest in other aspects of a persons life, thus making her training sessions, ABSOLUTELY fun. She's the BEST. The other trainers are all very willing to help out on days when I go and do a solo workout. Oh ya the Manning gym is a first class facility. PS - Addi even asked what music I liked and guess what- at our next session, that's what she had playing. PERFECT. And I've given her a nickname - ADDA WEIGHT ADDI - as she was always encouraging me to do more. So many times I'd see her "sneakily" adding another weight to the bar or bringing a heavier dumbell. So you know, she has your well being in mind. FANTASTIC PERSONAL TRAINER.
Fantastic experience: I purchased a membership here. Part of the membership included a “game plan session” with a performance coach. I was scheduled with Pierre who right off the bat was extremely personable, friendly, and so knowledgeable! He helped me discover areas to focus on when working out and then even offered an additional session! There was also a promotion happening in September for 3 personal training sessions. I took advantage of this with Pierre and he made me feel so at ease, helped me become aquainted with machines and taught me how to use them. Additionally, he was super encouraging and non-judgmental!! I really loved learning from him, and that he would also challenge me to push myself. I would HIGHLY recommend booking with him!! He’s overall just a really professional, qualified guy who will help you achieve your goals and keep you accountable :) I also had the pleasure of meeting other personal trainers who were equally as knowledgeable and helpful! Amhilkar (I’m so sorry if I spelled that wrong) would definitely be such a great person to train with as well. He seemed to have a great energy and is so nice!
Fantastic experience: I am absolutely loving my membership with Movati. I love that there’s so many different options when you go to the gym. You can go swimming, do classes, you can train. There’s lots of options for cardio. I’ve loved every class that I’ve done and I especially enjoy yoga with Ninoy! She is an expert in her field and a really great instructor who’s always giving me great tips!! I’ve done a training class with Carrie too, and really enjoyed it and her expertise!
Fantastic experience: Love the facility it’s clean and modern and so many classes The Dance class with Amida is so much fun . I can’t dance but she makes it fun for everyone! I go with my daughter who can dance and we both have a blast! Would highly recommend !
Fantastic experience: Shoutout to Ismaeel El-Hakim I’ve always had a sporadic history with working out largely due to getting sick often. After talking with Ish about my Fitness goals, I realized how much I’d benefit from one-on-one training. Taking the opportunity to train with him has been the best decision I’ve made. A month in, I’ve already seen improvements in my recovery, strength, and overall health — and I have Ish to thank for that. One of the many things that I admire about Ish is his passion. His knowledge isn’t just limited to personal training; his expertise extends to all areas of health, wellness and fitness. His dedication shows through his investment with staying up to date with current developments within the health and fitness field. He shares this with his clients by sending helpful articles and podcasts, encouraging me to learn both in and out of the gym. His passion for what he does consistently shines through in every session. Not only is he motivated and driven but also incredibly entertaining and understanding — one minute you’re laughing at something he’s said, the next he’s pushing you to do 3 extra reps. My favourite thing about Ish is that he brings enough energy and enthusiasm for two. On days when I’m not feeling my best or struggling with progress, he’s celebrating my wins and reminding me of how far I’ve made it. You can count on Ish for his contagious enthusiasm, and unwavering support to uplift you and keep you motivated. Plus, he’s somehow tolerated my endless sarcasm, so that’s worth a 5 stars review alone. His versatility, approachability and flexibility make training with him so easy on me especially as a university student. Ish is always open to adjusting and changing my program along the way and adapts quickly to any setbacks. He’s got an endless reservoir of patience. Whether you’re new or experienced, Ish knows how to meet you where you are and push you to where you want to be. Ish has a genuine desire to see his clients succeed in every aspect of their fitness journey. Knowing I have a trainer who has my back, is unbelievably empathetic and shares valuable insights every step of the way makes a world of a difference. I look forward to seeing the many milestones I’ll hit as I continue my fitness journey with Ish. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an exceptional trainer.
Fantastic experience: I love the classes taught at Movati Manning and especially like Zumba, Movati Dance and Movati Drums. Amida is an exceptional instructor and makes everyone laugh and truly makes the class enjoyable. I wish there were more classes with Amida teaching. I wish they would bring back the Zumba class on Tuesdays at 8pm. Why was this class cancelled? Chelsea is a phenomenal instructor.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member at Movati Manning for several months now and my experience has been exceptional. The facilities are beautiful, always clean, and equipped with everything you need for a great workout. The variety of classes available caters to all fitness levels and interests, making it easy to find something that suits your needs. What really sets Movati apart is the staff – especially my performance coach ,Tristan. Tristan’s expertise and personalized approach have elevated my gym experience; he takes the time to understand my goals, makes suggestions, and designs workouts that are both challenging and enjoyable. His support and motivation make each session something I genuinely look forward to. If you’re looking for a gym that offers a welcoming atmosphere, excellent facilities, and outstanding trainers like Tristan, Movati Manning is the perfect choice!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this gym!!! It has changed my life. I joined when it opened in April. I was hesitant at first. But it has proven to be one of my best decisions ever. I took advantage of the personal training promotion they had at the time I joined. That is where I was introduced to my phenomenal trainer, Ismaeel El-hakin. Since working with Ish, I have dropped almost 30 pounds. He is very supportive, non judgemental, and kind. He puts in just as much work as his clients in planning the proper programming. I have never had such a positive experience in my weight loss journey. I highly recommend Ish if you are ready to start your weight loss journey. I also love the classes and staff at Movati!!!
Negative experience: Amida E. lets late people in when Movati has a no late policy. So, she ends up starting class 5-8 mins late. She has no respect for other people’s time, for those who arrive early. Amida E. is also unprofessional. There were people lined up for her class, but what she did was call out the names of the people she knew from the class so they could go in first. She was so rude about it as people were standing near the door, but she looked around and shouted the names of the people she knew. I have never seen an instructor do this even if they knew people. I hope she respects people’s time and people more, or even just be professional about it. She makes it feel like her class is a private club for those she knows.
Fantastic experience: The facility is beautiful, modern and clean. Staff are very friendly and I enjoy the variety of classes on offer, but what I’ve enjoyed most is working with my trainer, Carrie K. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, focuses her training on what is most important to the client and tailors training sessions accordingly. I’ve never been a “gym person”, and after working with Carrie I feel I have the knowledge and skills to workout on my own as well as with a trainer. Bonuses are the workouts and meal plans available in the personal training app, InBody muscle measurement to see your progress, and those fancy massage boots after a tough session.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member of Manning Movati since it opened. 2 months ago I started working with a personal trainer, Tristian. He is great. We had an in depth conversation of my goals and he is helping me work towards achieving them. He is supportive and respectful and I would 100% recommend him to anyone. All the staff is very kind and friendly. Movati is also very clean. There is always someone cleaning no matter what time of day it is. It’s a great environment to be in.
Positive experience: My trainer, Carrie Knudson, goes above and beyond with my training program. Not every day is a good day, but Carrie always finds a way to have fun while making me work. She is knowledgeable and, if presented with a challenge, will always have a way to work through the challenge. And - nobody can work the bands like she can
Positive experience: Probably the most beautiful gym in the city. However, the weekend and holiday hours make me keep my GoodLife membership. Secondly, the juicebar not accepting cash is bs. Folks like me always carry cash. So I don’t buy from there anymore, if I’m wanting something. I just sneak over to the Poppeye’s store, down the parking lot.
Fantastic experience: I just wanted to give a big shout-out to Anton L. and Heather's classes. The energy they brought into their classes was amazing. Of course, all the other group classes and instructors are great too!
Fantastic experience: This gym has changed my life. I have finally found a love for something and makes me super happy. Special shout out to Kieran Kelly for helping me set up my membership here, a super kind and energetic guy!
Fantastic experience: Very friendly staff and super clean, best fitness facility in the city
Fantastic experience: These guys are always cleaning so the gym is beautiful. The facility is awesome, they've got squat racks for days, and the staff are incredible
Fantastic experience: BEST facility in the city! All the amenities you need, great staff and super Clean.
Fantastic experience: Movati athletic is the best gym out there!! You get all of the amenities that you need to get an amazing workout all in one place! All of the staff are very helpful especially Rawan at the front desk! She is so patient and goes out of her way to give everyone the best experience☺️
Fantastic experience: Carrie has been my personal trainer and has help tremendously! She's Rockstar of fitness!
Fantastic experience: A special shoutout to Carrie Knudson who is an outstanding trainer. Her dedication to helping her clients is unlike any trainer I’ve met. She truly cares about each person she trains and works with, only ever uplifts others in private and in public. In only 10 sessions so far, I have had a massive transformation that she pushed me through. I feel more knowledgeable and confident at the end of each session, and inspired to stay on track. Carrie has a way with uplifting whoever she is around and making you feel like you can achieve anything. Highly recommend not only the facility, but to request Carrie if you’re looking for a trainer. Her infectious positivity and grit would make a great team leader :)
Fantastic experience: Definitely the cleanest gym in the city. Has all the machines you could ever need and so many classes!
Fantastic experience: I’ve being waiting for this gym to open for the past 9 months now and get active. I have been attending 4 days a week since its opening and I am certainly reaching my goals I set myself at the beginning on the year. Signing up at the front desk was super easy as I was greeted with a huge smile from Kieran Kelly. Kieran is always jolly and brings a great atmosphere around the gym.
Fantastic experience: Great gym, facilities are top class. Special shout out to Kieran who made sure I was looked after and provided exceptional service - so friendly and helpful! Easiest 5 stars
Fantastic experience: I enjoy going to Movati to workout! Beautiful facility, well taken care of and great staff! Carrie Knudson is a BEAST of a trainer. She is extremely dedicated to helping you become stronger physically and mentally! I enjoy my hour with her! Best trainer ever!
Fantastic experience: Started this month with Carrie as my trainer. I’ve never worked with one at other gyms before because I couldn’t find one that I felt a good connection with or didn’t make me feel like just another paying customer. From our first consultation Carrie made me feel safe, heard, valid and extremely motivated for my fitness journey. I walked out of that consultation more hopeful than ever that my dream fitness level was attainable. And our sessions have not disappointed. I’m not just going through movements but understanding the knowledge behind each and every exercise and how it connects to my overall fitness goals (mobility, strength training and running). And the best part, I feel so much more confident in the gym on my solo days. She is always available to help with any questions or concerns I have and checks in with me as well. I genuinely believe changing gyms to MOVATI and working with Carrie has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my fitness journey. Also love the variety of classes they have as well! Overall a clean, great facility, great amenities, and great staff! 10/10 would recommend!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely love it at Movati Manning! It has everything, and some in regards to equipment and ways to get your fitness on(like the endless group fitness options).
Fantastic experience: Wow wow wow is all I can say about this new facility that has recently opened in my local area! I wanted to get out of my comfort zone so I decided to sign up to the gym and I’m so happy I did! I was expertly greeted by Kieran Kelly who catered to all my needs as a new gym goer! Kieran knows his stuff in the gym and definitely left me quite sweaty after my first session. I can’t wait to get back in for session no.2! Thanks Kieran!!
Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough about Carrie Knudson at MOVATI! From the moment I started working with her, it was clear that she wasn’t just my personal trainer, but a true partner in achieving my fitness goals. She is always asking if I’m satisfied with my workouts and keeps me on track to meet my objectives. She challenges me without overwhelming me. She is genuinely invested in my goals and even takes time from her personal time to send me recipes for more protein!! Her expertise and experience keeps our workouts productive and interesting. I 1000% recommend Carrie!
Fantastic experience: Movati is the best! Gopal the manager is the best! I love Movati!
Fantastic experience: Great environment to workout in, new and clean machines, endless amenities that fits anyone’s workout plan and goals!
Fantastic experience: Really great place to workout – clean all the way from the start of the day to the end!
Fantastic experience: In comparison to other Edmonton gyms, this is the best quality gym by far. The staff are always attentive to your every need and the classes are challenging and fun. The gym is incredibly clean. The machines are new and state-of-the-art. The atmosphere is welcoming to new users and long-term lifters. There is also a smoothie bar full of healthy options so you can get your macros in before or after your workout. And the music selection is great, older music and not simply top 40s. The spa like amenities also make me spend more of my time there.
Fantastic experience: Great place to workout and Excellent customer service from the people that works there! All equipment are top notch! Really the best out there! Love the idea of a women's only area and the Smoothies in the Cafe are must haves!
Fantastic experience: So many classes to choose from! This the best gym on the north side! My favs are rhythm & beats! The Zen lounge is the perfect place to find peace! Hot yoga room is amazing ! I love everything about this facility!
Fantastic experience: Very clean gym and friendly staff who often go above and beyond. Great positive atmosphere for a good workout. Elisha at the front desk is very helpful and funny, always a great chat to end the workout and my day!
Fantastic experience: An absolute beautiful facility, has everything from 3 different workout areas, 5 different group areas an entire large section for Women only including it's own Group Fitness Room, Weight room and pool (sauna and steam room) Staff are so welcoming and some of the most knowledgeable Personal Trainer Performance Coaches around. The level of education is untouchable. 1 stop shop!! It's a must to check out
Fantastic experience: I absolutely adore this Fitness Facility. The staff are always ecstatic at the front desk when I check in! I am a firm believer that Movati is the BEST gym in all of Alberta! I love that the Hot Yoga is included with any of their membership options. 10/10
Fantastic experience: Best club, cleanest facility, workout spaces are big and equipment is high quality, swimming pool is a plus and women's only is a bonus!
Fantastic experience: Love the facility. Always super clean, staff is super friendly and has more than enough equipment for any kind of workout
Fantastic experience: Excellent facility! Movati Manning is an amazing health club that has everything that you need in one convenient place! Would recommend to any of my friends or family members!
Fantastic experience: Movati Gym is an absolute gem in the fitness world! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a vibrant atmosphere that motivates you to push yourself to new limits. The facilities are top-notch, with state-of-the-art equipment that caters to all fitness levels. The variety of classes offered is exceptional, ensuring there's always something exciting to try. The staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to assist and support your fitness journey. Gopal was one staff member who really stood out, giving me a wonderful tour of the gym and great advice for my fitness journey. The cleanliness and organization of the gym are impeccable, creating a comfortable and inviting space to work out. Movati Gym truly goes above and beyond to provide a fantastic fitness experience for its members. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to achieve their fitness goals in a welcoming and inspiring environment!
Fantastic experience: This is the best gym I have been too. The staff are very professional. Gopal gave me a tour of the gym and showed me all of the amenities.
Fantastic experience: I've been coming since mid July, this is a beautiful gym. I'm a mommy of 2 and I have sadly put me on the backburner. I bit the bullet and got a personal trainer. Her name is Carrie, when I tell you the workouts I have with her have me feeling like I could pick up world and squat! Haha! I'm not a huge fan of the gym, I was worried about my shape, who is there, how scared I'd be blah blah, when I'm with Carrie, its like nobody else is around, she makes me feel like it's just us and I can do anything. I have so much motivation and I'm feeling so much better about my new lifestyle journey. If you're on the edge of "should I, shouldn't I" just take the leap. Carrie is amazing, I couldn't ask for a better trainer ❤️
Fantastic experience: I really love coming to Movati. The staff at the front are always so friendly and it really makes my day! I do wish the hours could be extended in the future. As a shift worker I often can't make it to the gym on the weekends.
Negative experience: I've been a member at Movati Manning for a while and generally enjoy the facilities, but I recently had an experience that left me a bit disappointed. I noticed they have compression recovery boots that I was really interested in trying out. When I asked about testing it for a few minutes to see if it's something I'd like to invest in, I was informed by the fitness manager, Kyle, that this wasn't possible unless I purchased 25 personal training sessions. I understand that this machine is located in the personal training area and is likely intended for use with those services, but being told that I had to commit to 25 sessions just to try it out felt a bit excessive. It left me questioning whether this is the minimum requirement for members to explore different upgrade options. This approach doesn’t seem like a great sales tactic to get members interested in personal training sessions. In fact, it had the opposite effect on me—I’m now turned off from ever wanting to purchase those sessions. It felt like an opportunity was missed to create a positive experience and potentially gain a long-term customer for those services. I still think Movati has a lot to offer, but this particular policy doesn't seem very welcoming to members who might be curious about trying new amenities.
Fantastic experience: Loved this gym. Very clean and staff was very welcoming and professional. I was helped by Gopal who kindly gave me a tour of the whole facility. Would definitely recommend!
Positive experience: I’ve been a member at Movati Manning for a little while now, and I have to say, this gym is amazing. The variety of amenities is top-notch, from the state-of-the-art equipment to the diverse selection of classes that cater to all fitness levels. Whether you’re into yoga, HIIT, or strength training, there’s something here for everyone. The staff are incredibly friendly and always ready to help, creating a welcoming environment that makes working out enjoyable. The facility is consistently clean, which is something I really appreciate. The spacious layout also means that even during peak times, you never feel crowded. However, I do have one concern. While the gym offers so much, it’s disappointing that the women’s change room does not provide feminine hygiene products for those times when they’re needed. It’s a basic necessity that can easily be overlooked, but it would make a significant difference if these products were available. Sometimes we forget or run out of our personal supply, and it’s unfortunate that there isn’t an alternative on hand. Overall, Movati Manning is a fantastic gym with so much to offer. It would be even better if they addressed this small but important detail to ensure all members feel fully supported.
Fantastic experience: I have to say going to the right gym that welcomes everyone with all sorts of abilities is extremely important and #Movati does this so well, also teaming up with the right coach makes all the difference, I am having some great progress, but with out a coach like Tristan Connor I would not have had 25% of the progress i have seen. Thank you Tristan and Movati Athletic Manning !!
Fantastic experience: Been a member for Movati Windermere since last year and moved to Manning. Love it! Classes are fun and lots of classes to choose from!
Fantastic experience: Great experience at the gym. The facility is always clean and equipment is well maintained. Kunal is super helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. He’s always willing and ready to help out wherever he can.
Negative experience: **Gross Hygiene, Barefoot Users, and No Air Conditioning: A $70+ Gym Nightmare** UPDATE October 3rd, 2024 LOTS of Dirty bare feet, Still NO AC & now Toothpicks on the floor. DO NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS GYM!! NOT WORTH THE MONEY!!! ........... I have been a member of this gym since it opened in April, and I must say I am incredibly disappointed. For a membership fee of over $70 a month, I expected far better. The conditions I’ve encountered have been nothing short of appalling. Firstly, the hygiene in the women’s workout area is downright disgusting. I’ve repeatedly observed members using equipment without shoes and, even worse, not wiping down the machines afterward. This is completely unacceptable and unsanitary. Is there not a rule that proper workout shoes are necessary? The fact that people are walking around barefoot in a public gym is beyond gross, and it’s a clear health hazard. To make matters worse, I’ve seen some people wearing Crocs, which are hardly appropriate or safe footwear for a gym setting. This lack of proper footwear is an accident waiting to happen. Next, let’s address the issue of the air conditioning—or rather, the complete lack thereof. The gym is essentially a hot sauna due to the absence of effective air circulation. The few fans in the ceiling do nothing to alleviate the stifling heat, making workouts unbearably uncomfortable. Given the premium price we are paying, this is a major letdown. Additionally, the equipment maintenance is subpar. The leg press machine was malfunctioning within the first few weeks of opening and has been out of order several times since. This constant downtime for equipment is frustrating and reflects poorly on the gym's commitment to maintaining their facilities. If I weren’t locked into a year-long contract, I would have already found a new gym. For the price we are paying, the quality and management of this gym fall far short of expectations. It is not worth the high membership fee.
Hi Riley, cleanliness is very important to our business. We have a full time facility attendant team dedicated to keeping the facility 5 star clean. We also have a full time facility and maintenance tech who work to keep the equipment fully functional. Any issues with the HVAC units were resolved 2 weeks after we opened. If you see anything that requires attention please bring it to the front desk so we can action it immediately.
Fantastic experience: This gym is spotless, well organized and has every amenity gym goers could ask for. The cost of the membership is worth every penny.
Negative experience: I'm quite disappointed with my experience at this new gym. I switched to this gym after hearing many positive things, and initially, I was told that I would have 10 days to try it out for free and switch my membership if needed. Based on this, I upgraded to the $60 membership plan, which allowed me to bring two guests. After bringing the guests, they signed up, so I decided to downgrade to the classic regular membership plan within the 10-day period. When I first signed up, a representative assured me that downgrading would be fine and that I wouldn't incur any extra charges. However, I received a call today informing me that I would be charged an additional $7 to process the change. This is a red flag for me, especially after a bad experience with my previous gym with similar problems of additional charges and hidden costs I wasn’t aware of. I was hoping this new gym would be different, but being lied to and misled right from the start is shocking. And even though it’s just 7 dollars- It's not about the $7; it's about the principle. I felt upset, and despite expressing this, they didn't offer any alternatives, compensation, or even a simple apology. There was no offer of a credit on my account, a complimentary drink from their smoothie bar (which I love), or a refund for the amount they plan to charge. Given this lack of communication and consideration, I'm now considering canceling my membership altogether. I'm not sure if they care, but I hope others read this and proceed with caution.
Fantastic experience: Came to Edmonton from Vancouver to visit some fam and thought I have seen it all, til I stepped into Movati…Have you ever been to a candy store or an icecream or even a supplement store depending on the audience of this review and wanted to try everything? Or did you ever go to your own gym and thought “I wish they had this machine or that machine…” or even thought I wish I can get some gains, take a dip and just relax…Welcome to Movati. This place has it all. I came here to do a simple back and biceps workout and wanted to do more because of all the fantabulous equipment they have. I hit the free weights and then saw another piece of equipment that can help my gains and saw another and another…what turned out as a back and biceps workout became a full body because Movati has everything you would want and pushes you mentally and physically to hit those fitness goals, I just might have to move here from Vancouver to hit all my fitness goals in one place instead of splitting between 2-3 gyms in Van.
Fantastic experience: Meryem was amazing in giving my partner and I the tour and helping me sign up for my membership. The facilities, smoothie bar and group classes are excellent.
Fantastic experience: Steven did a great job
Fantastic experience: What a great club! Thank you to the staff for all the help at the front desk. Changerooms are super clean, equipment is amazing.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to the facility for a couple months now and am thoroughly impressed with the attention to detail and over all atmosphere of the gym! I’ve been bringing my sister in as well and occasionally we treat ourselves to shakes from the cafe in the lobby. I wanted to give massive praise to one of the employees who works there for customizing our order with matching nicknames! Made the experience that much more enjoyable and definitely a $$$ idea to make patrons feel special. No doubt in my mind that someone would want to come back just for the nickname and bright smile! Not sure what her name is but she has bright red hair and is quite lovely! Hope management can figure it out.
Fantastic experience: Clean gym. Nice equipment. I like their free classes. To the person who expects a smoothie, lol! That’s hilarious.
Fantastic experience: Awesome facility! Clean and new, with a room for everything. Love that there are many women’s only spaces as well. The Sky Studio for yoga is gorgeous - with a full wall of windows that open. Instructors have all been wonderful so far.
Fantastic experience: I don’t have any negative to say it is all positive on the location you ( members) get more out of the price ( swimming pool, more classes, always clean and you see all levels of staff from management down to janitors are helping out on cleaning , amazing equipment and amazing people also facility)
Positive experience: Update: Was called about a refund which is good, it is pending for now will update review once received. Refund has been received. Misinformed by one of their employees when they were first opening. She offered extra classes for $200 and said we could get a refund anytime if I chose not to take the classes. Management said that a refund is not possible.
Positive experience: Would’ve been a 5 star review, but the hot tub’s jets are super weak, you can barely feel anything. Raised the concern to the front desk, they said they’ll look into it, been a week, pressure is still the same, very low, you can’t even tell they’re on. Other than that everything else is amazing.
Fantastic experience: Wow! What an amazing experience! I injured my knee in the past and with all the Yoga classes and workout machines available to use it’s a great routine for my mind, body and soul in the morning before I go to work. My body feels refreshed after every workout or class! Just updated this comment and yes, it still stands true, what I said the yoga teachers at this facility are state of the art and you are definitely going to find some gain and rejuvenation after one session! I literally feel like Superman refreshed by the Sun! (Aug 30 2024)
Negative experience: Closing at 5 on a holiday??!?? Are you serious!?? I pay 120 a month for my membership
Fantastic experience: Extraordinary gym I've been going to gyms inconsistently for over 20 years and this is hands down the best bang for your buck, when compared to any big brand/decent gyms like Gold's/Goodlife. There are soooo many amenities, a plethora of classes from early morning to late night w/ really skilled instructors, a full private sauna/pool/jacuzzi for women along with their own separate large workout and studio area. So far I've had a wonderful experience. Staff and instructors are really friendly and approachable, the place is always kept in pristine condition (thanks to the amazing staff who are constantly cleaning), and no matter if I worked out in the co-ed or women's area, I felt safe/comfortable. To me this is more of a lifestyle to stay fit, healthy, and happy... You gotta invest a little in yourself
Fantastic experience: The classes are amazing, the place is always clean, the staff is always nice, 10/10.
Fantastic experience: The staff is super respectful and always providing a positive experience. Facility is neat and squeaky clean. Bunch of group classes to attend. Lots of parking space is available as well. Machines are well maintained as well!
Fantastic experience: It’s like a playground for adults! It has every class and lots of space - including a women’s only section with its own pool
Positive experience: Im a very new member and really enjoying the experiences so far. The things they need to work out: weekend classes, Ive noticed they end up cancelling pre booked classes often. Why are there so few classes Friday-Saturday- Sunday? Why is there no explanation for cancelled classes?
Fantastic experience: ITS SHOWTIME from coast to coast and at Movati......you will get the most
Fantastic experience: Nothing short of phenomenal. Don’t be intimidated by the parking lot. People are often in classes leaving plenty of room in the cardio or weight areas if that’s what you’re here for. Movati is clean and has plenty of new equipment. The best part is the culture. I get a genuine feel from the staff that they enjoy being at Movati and as such they take pride in their role. This make visiting and conversing much more enjoyable than most other gyms I’ve been to. I’ll recommend anyone I know to come to Movati. I’m looking forward to seeing what they’re bringing to Edmonton and area in the coming years.
Negative experience: Tried telling the front staff about issues, and spoke to Gopel the "manager". He was so incredibly arrogant and rude I can't believe he was hired. I've given them 2 weeks since my last heads up that hooks are broken, weights are missing, lights are flickering to a dangerous point. He smirked at me and said "well I'm not a woman, I can't go in and see". So women aren't getting the same service because a man is their manager? The hooks are still broken, the lights are still flickering because it is an electrical issue, not a bulb issue. They were posting fake classes until I reminded them of the consumer protection act and said I was watching. Than poof, all the fake classes gone and I can get into the classes I want. The "suits" ,as we have come to call them, are arrogant and useless. Not sure their purpose other than to make members feel meaningless. I'm not sure who actually runs this place but I can tell by the dwindling reviews that in the month it's been open theyve done little but relish in their own ego.
Fantastic experience: I always enjoy my time at Movati Manning. Front desk staff on Mondays and Tuesdays during day are so friendly and always greet when coming in and say “have a nice day” when leaving ✨ there’s always a staff cleaning the ladies locker rooms. The showers have rain heads and the Shark hair blow dryers are strong. Fitness instructors are always smiling and classes are easy to book on the app 73hrs beforehand. I love it so far✨
Negative experience: While I appreciate the cleanliness and variety of classes at Movati Gym Manning, my experience with their membership promises left much to be desired. During the signup process, a staff member assured me of a $10 discount on select memberships, which was a deciding factor for me. However, when my second payment came around, the promised discount was nowhere to be found. Despite confirming twice during the contract signing that the discount would apply to each payment, I was met with denial when I raised the issue. The lack of accountability from the staff, particularly the response that "I have been doing this for a long time and I don't make mistakes," was disheartening and left me feeling misled. It's a shame that such a great facility is tarnished by misleading practices.
