Womens Fitness Clubs of Canada

Fantastic experience: Been coming since april, NEVER too busy, great staff, great personal trainers from what I’ve seen, and so so welcoming. Really good equipment and space. Lurvvv it :)

Positive experience: Great atmosphere to work out in. People are approachable, and stafd are very accommodating and kind. A great mix of classes and/of freestyle :) Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Very happy I sign up , friendly staff and very clean gym.

Fantastic experience: It saddens me to see some negative reviews about the Pickering location in regards to machines and cleanliness.... This place is clean! Beautifully clean. It has never had so much as a bad odor. There is ALWAYS someone cleaning (wiping machines, cleaning change room, showers, etc) I've rarely (if ever) had to wait for a machine. It's easy enough to choose another machine or bench for a few minutes until others come available. It's never THAT busy that you have to actually wait for any machines. I've never seen the sauna out of order (as mentioned by another reviewer).... nor have I seen machines broken for long periods of time. They seem very prompt in fixing anything broken. My only "complaint" is the hours of this location. However, I assume that is due to the location being in the mall since the Ajax location has after-hours access.

Fantastic experience: I love this fitness club! Everything is clean, tidy, and well-maintained. It's a great place to work out.

Fantastic experience: Staff is professional and helps pick the right plan according to your needs. I don’t live around the area and only here for a few days for an educational camp. They provided me with options to use the facility. The entire team that works here is great

Fantastic experience: I had a great first experience there with my daughter. Emma was working at the front desk and was very helpful with advising us on the different types of classes they have.

Fantastic experience: I have had a positive experience working with Meaghen as my personal trainer. She is an exceptional trainer who designs a fitness program tailored to my goals and needs. Her training sessions are always professional, challenging and motivational. As a result of training with Meaghen, my fitness level has significantly increased and I have never been stronger. I highly recommend her!

Negative experience: I have been coming to this gym for 10+ years. These last couple of years have been disappointing. All the machines are really old, some don't even, and some are rusty. The cable machine squeaks every time I use it. I always come up with a plan for the workouts but every time I get these, the machines I want to use are not working, so I always have to change my entire workout plan. The owners do not seem to care, I have made several requests to get new machines and get the broken ones fixed. They have the audacity to keep increasing the membership but do not want to offer anything. The machines are ALL old, classes are a joke, and the sauna is almost always “out of order.” The highest dumbbell this gym has is 50lbs which is not heavy, I have also requested to get more heavier dumbbells in the past but my request was ignored. The treadmills are also very old and slow, it takes forever for me to increase and decrease the speed. I am seriously considering going to a different gym that offers new/better machines, challenging classes, and better amenities.

Fantastic experience: Sick gym

Fantastic experience: I wrote a gym review recently about the very few instances; that the gym opened later, than their original time. Someone reached out to me to discuss my concerns, and I really appreciate her coming to talk to me. After our discussion it gave me a different perspective, that I decided to edit the review because the previous one was unfair. I’ve been going here since 2018, and I’ve had very few problems; and still come to this location because there are lot of positives about it. And I’ll continue to come for as long as I can. If I had a give recommendation to hopefully help this, I just wish there was a secondary contact we could use to get a better idea of what is happening. This may not be possible and sometimes accidents happen, but I still wanted to bring it up.

Fantastic experience: The best gym out there, everything is there.

Fantastic experience: I'm a member at Women's Fitness Club in Pickering. I would like to thank Chrisie Myers DeNobrega for her excellent customer service in helping me out secure a rental locker. Sounds easy, however, I ran into some challenges getting one. Thanks Chrisie for your excellent customer service. Thanks to Steph as well, the Manager for following up making sure we complete the process.

Fantastic experience: Attended a zumba class as a guest with a friend. The class was great! Lively and fun. The instructor was engaging and gave off a lot of high energy that motivated you to do the same. The facility is bigger than I expected. The change rooms were clean and maintained well. Don't forget a lock for the lockers and a towel if you need one.

Negative experience: My daughter (18) signed up for a 3 month trial membership in March 2023 (I was there with her) and her 3 month ended and she is still being charged. So my daughter who went off to college asked me to call and cancel on her behalf. Today I called and was told that my daughter signed up for a 3 month trial plus renewal membership (something like that anyway) and that it automatically goes into renewal and gym membership. I was there with her when she signed up and nothing of the sort was explained to her or us. Just be careful what you are signing, make sure it's explained. She's automatically being charged (not affordable for a college student) and can't even go to the gym.

Negative experience: There's a male instructor named Gerald who made me feel very uncomfortable and was inappropriate. Never attending his yoga class again. Edit: I am fully aware of the few male instructors that are permitted to facilitate classes at the gym. Gerald's strange behaviour was unacceptable and, as stated before, I will not be returning to the gym.

Positive experience: I’ve been training with Rosi since January 2023 and am pleased with her enthusiasm and ability to pivot routines and exercises to accommodate injury and desire to focus on goals. The gym is clean, well attended and has the necessary equipment to meet my needs.

Fantastic experience: Womens fitness is an excellent gym. It is a very welcoming environment and is filled with very friendly staff and people. I have had nothing but positive experiences, and I would recommend it to any woman looking for a gym to join. Meaghen is an amazing personal trainer! I immediately felt comfortable with her. She is super friendly, motivational, and fun to work with. You can tell that she gives all her clients her full attention. She has helped me improve in so many ways. She is very knowledgeable and it is very easy to trust that she will successfully assist you in achieving your goals. My PT sessions are my favourite part of my week and I would 100% recommend Meaghen as a personal trainer!

Positive experience: Been going to this gym for a while now and I love going. It's never too crowded and the club members are all nice and respectful. I wish they're dumbbells went past 50 lbs and my main complaint about this gym is how dirty the weights and plates are, I always have to be careful what I wear here because this black grime is all over and rubs off on my hands and clothes. I've had to toss a couple of leggings as a result since it doesn't always come out

Fantastic experience: Excellent staff, very helpful they make you feel Welcome and very comfortable. I enjoy going to pickering location.

Fantastic experience: Rosi is an outstanding trainer. She is patient, motivational and she totally gets you. There were times where I’d be like I just can’t do that and want to give up but she pushes you by being your cheerleader and rooting you along. I highly recommend her she’s an awesome trainer she won’t let you down. Jen and the rest of the staff are amazing too

Fantastic experience: I have been a member in the Pickering location since they opened. I have always found the facilities to be clean and well maintained. I recently joined the Zumba classes and although I don’t always get the steps right, the Instructor is always reassuring and welcoming. It is a fun way to get exercise. The desk staff are approachable, friendly, and helpful in any dealings that I have had with them.

Fantastic experience: My sister and I have been going for over a year now. The facilities are always clean, the staff are welcoming and the instructors are very personable. Most will go out of thier way to learn your name. There's a good amount of equipment here as well

Negative experience: If I could, I would give less than one star! Women's Fitness club is an establishment full of shady practices. They sell you 3-month plans of personal training. In normal circumstances, if you don't use all the sessions, they should be carried forward and you should not be charged until all the sessions are used, but instead, they kept charging my CC without even checking how many sessions were used actually. And then denied to give a refund when i moved to a different city. They forced me to take online sessions, which I didn't want because things had gotten back to normal in person sessions. In addition to the pending personal training money, they continued charging me membership fees to my CC even when i verbally confirmed and signed forms that I wont be coming to the gym anymore much in advance before I actually moved. We never got reponses in time, had to continuously follow-up and still haven't gotten the refund on unused sessions. Nobody has cared to even check or reach out to us since then.

Positive experience: I have been going to this gym for years and always had a good experience. It is conveniently located inside the Pickering mall, the staff is very friendly and when I asked the manager a question or to do something for me I got a prompt response. I noticed they had added more free weights recently and would like to see a fresh coat of paint on the outdated walls’ color.

Negative experience: Worst experience...I can't get to cancel my membership. All I'm asking is to cancel my membership and the Manager a MAN keeps telling me about a hold. The gym itself is fine, no issues but when it's time to cancel they are giving you such a difficult time. Can you imagine I owe nothing, my card keeps getting charged, and my contract says I can cancel anytime but I'm not getting the opportunity to cancel a simple membership? And telling me my membership is ending feb 2022 , like charge me and my 2 daughters for 4 months for no reason and not reimbursing the money back ! it’s a shame so many complaining about them doing that

Fantastic experience: Been going to woman’s fitness club of Canada for 2 years now! It’s great quiet and clean gym! Love the customer service and the staff!

Negative experience: Great staff… however.. Machines need tune ups, small selection in weights, all machines and racks are in front of walls - hard to work on form when you can’t see yourself. Also please update gym hours on Google. It’s been over a year now of incorrect hours

Positive experience: Old rusty equipment, noisy machines could do better .

Negative experience: club is not being properly cleaned the machines are covered in dust and grime , machines not functioning properly , , machines in need of service are not being attended to in a timely fashion. this club is not up to the previous standards, since covid the the club has deteried and when concerns are being brought to the attention of the persons in charge , nothing is being done to resolve the situation. They continue to collect your dues but do little to keep the club in good standing. They have reduced the hours of the cleaning staff to compensate for the loss in membership revenue due to c-ovid This has resulted in the poor level of services . Complaints are daily , but front office staff , (not reception sign in, as they have no authority) ignore ,and do nothing to improve the situation . Perhaps a visit from the health department. Would help as the management do not seem to understand that dust and dirt breed bacteria and possibly mould that are extremely harmful to people with any type of respiratory or nasal issues. I hope the owners and operators of this club read this and realize they have a responsibility to the membership I will come forward and fix the situation. Thank you for your response and your quick and efficient action to the , situation as noted above. it was in fact not a "bitter " experience but a sad and unnecessary one , had the persons at the club listened and took action earlier this would not have been necessary, not only was it brought to their attention a number of times but pictures of the dirt and grime that were wiped of the machine , were shown to them , the cloth used showed black residue from the surface of only one of the many machines that needed attention, but a week went by and no action was taken. After working under WFC for 8 plus years I had and still have a great deal of respect for the owners of WFC Pickering club , they have always up held strong standards in there clubs. I am confident now that they were not properly kept informed of the issues in question . In future should I need to clear up any other questions or concerns I might have , I will direct them to the owners . The fast and efficient action the owners took to clear up the situation has fully restored my faith in WFC , and I hope to remain a member for many years to come. Thank you to all who participated in the time and effort taken to clean the machines , coming in on the Monday morning and seeing the job done was AWESOME. Thank you Diane Izzett

Fantastic experience: Great classes and fun people to be around!

Positive experience: Very good experience.

Positive experience: Enjoy Heidi's Zumba class. So much positive energy!

Fantastic experience: Have been a member here for years - always enjoyable, and they go beyond with safety and cleaning measures

Fantastic experience: Good

Negative experience: They charge you during the pandemic without letting you know even though you can’t go to the gym. They don’t even have the decency to inform you they are charging you! Ridiculous scam

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym and really friend staff! The gym is very clean and they have a range of equipment.

Fantastic experience: I've been working with my Personal Fitness Trainer, Rosi, for several years. Recently we moved to using LIFT workouts online and they have been a lifesaver! You don't have to have fancy equipment at home. Rosi customizes workouts to my personal health and fitness level, always checking-in to see how I am on workout day. She gives lots of encouragement and offers goals to strive for. Thank you WFCC Pickering!

Negative experience: Worst experience...I can't get to cancel my membership. All I'm asking is to cancel my membership and the Manager a MAN keeps telling me about a hold. The gym itself is fine, no issues but when it's time to cancel they are giving you such a difficult time. Can you imagine I owe nothing, my card keeps getting charged, and my contract says I can cancel anytime but I'm not getting the opportunity to cancel a simple membership? This is such a shame. I don't recommend signing any contract with them or signing up for any membership programs I'm so disappointed. I have small kids to feed instead of keep paying for a membership I can't use. Should I call in the media? This is ridiculous.

Positive experience: Good gym love being a member here

Negative experience: I'm not quite sure how to review this gym, there is nothing particularly wrong with their classes or their machines. In fact some of the instructors I've had were great. The facility is also relatively clean. As for appearance, it is a little dingy/stuffy since it sits in the basement of the mall but it gets the job done. What prompted a 2 star review is their current practice and how they have handled the pandemic. I opted not to return to the gym, like many, but since I paid for a year-in-full they refused to compensate me for the remainder of the year or prorate the months I went. Instead I was offered an extension on my membership and personally this does not seem appropriate, if I want to resume going in the new year I'll commit at that time. While I do recognize many businesses are struggling as a result of what has occurred this year, I cannot justify paying $299 + tax to use a gym for 2.5 months. For reference I attempted to contact the manager at the Pickering location and thereafter was told to speak to another associate by the name of Dana at another location. Additionally, my registration fee was double billed. I have been asking for these funds back since October/November of last year As of this review the club has informed me my cheque is finally available for pick-up, for reference this is 10 months after their error. When everyone warns you to not pay up front or provide your cc (where possible) to a gym, heed the advice.

Negative experience: I loved the concept of this gym. I was a bit upset about the charging structure of the gym during the pandemic but after I called the gym unhappy, the owner called me personally and tried to resolve the issue best as he could. I appreciate the customer service. I don’t think many gyms would go to that extent which is why people are so wary of joining. Update in 2021 Guess what - they did still charge me … a year later. They said because I had no evidence I spoke to the manager I would still be charged for the months since Sept 2021, but how would I have evidence we spoke on the phone a year ago? Seems like their teams didn’t communicate to each other and of course that was my wallets fault. Manager is also very rude and will try to condescend/make it very difficult for you to cancel membership. I understand COVID has made it hard for gyms but the manager does not listen at all and will try to legalese his way into $22 a month. I’d have stayed if this place didn’t screw me over twice.

Fantastic experience: Stuffs very friendly and gym very clean

Negative experience: I have been going to woman’s fitness for almost 10 years now and until now have had no issues. I have never had to deal with management and customer service representatives very much before because I never disagree or had any problems really. Due to the pandemic the gym had closed March 16th(that’s the message I had gotten). When reopened a few weeks back I put my account on hold through email with Mathew Offman who assured me it was put on hold. I simply couldn’t afford it just yet with everything going on and didn’t feel the most comfortable with the new protocols. I was still charged. I was also receiving calls saying I owed them money and was confused. After a few days of trying, I got ahold of Mathew Offman by phone who then told me my sessions we not put on hold(?) and they we’re separate from my membership( that in was still charged for??) and that I owed them this money for the session from March 20th(gym closed March 16?). To shorten this a bit he pretty much told me to pound salt and was really rude and condescending. He threatened to take me to collections but I was only just told about this different charge and had tried for two days to get ahold of someone to explain..After ten years of being a member and seeing how they were handling people during the pandemic I decided I wanted to cancel my membership. I had called and spoke to another lady who had told me that would be fine but I would still have to pay this remaining balence for the unused session. (Ok. Fine..) when I emailed to cancel I was told I then couldn’t cancel until the charge was paid for ..the charge for the 20th ..when they closed on the 16th ..for the session that was never used...So I now will keep racking up a higher balance until I am able to afford this charge(but earlier I was told the sessions and membership are two different sections and charged separately). I spoke to another girl in his office who repeated what he had said ...pretty sure they had me on speaker and then got a number for a representative that works at a different location. I dint feel like any of this make sense or is okay ..I understand business owners are panicking to make back revenue after the pandemic but their members are having a hard time as-well ..would have been nice to at the very least been given accurate information and be properly informed about what would be going on. Really frustrated and confused and disappointed..

Fantastic experience: I am humbled and missing my tribe, I had the honor of a 5 day pass that reminded me of the strong amazing instructors at this location....they raise you up to be stronger than you can be, they raise the bar... I love the mall, they each have a gift individual to themselves..special mention to Len, Maureen, Lynda, Heidi, Nella, Sherri, the ladies their energy and encouragement are more than I can say in words...love love this club

Negative experience: I’ve called the gym and they don’t answer their phone. I have emailed them and have received no reply. I personally walked into the gym to take a look around and there are 4 staff members behind the counter and said there is no one to show you around you. If this is the service before becoming a member not sure I really want to become a member.

Positive experience: It's my go-to place to release tension.

Fantastic experience: Just love the enthusiasm. Great staff. Do nice to work out Ina place that's not a "MEET MARKET" . Peaceful place to make your body beautiful within and without.

Positive experience: Love it here.

Positive experience: Love the gym best decision I've ever made, the staff is terrific,friendly and nice. I take Shari's class twice a week it's great and Christina's on Friday morning love it!!! Only problem I have is the shower area which really needs to be addressed especially when I'm in there three to four times a week. I keep hearing it's going to to cleaned up but its been several months now still waiting!!! The problem is not the construction at the mall it's the mold and scummy showers and peeling paint that need to be addressed it's not healthy for anyone !!!

Fantastic experience: Inspired to keep fit more

Fantastic experience: Love the staff and instructors everyone is very welcoming and kind! Great equipment and very clean!

Fantastic experience: I really enjoy working out at this gym. I like how there is a sense of privacy which makes me feel more comfortable. The staff members are really nice and welcoming. I’ve tried many classes (most are included in the membership) and I thoroughly enjoyed them. The instructors have very upbeat and energetic personalities even at 6 AM. All in all I really like my gym. Would recommend! :)

Fantastic experience: Hi My friend Heather joined the gym almost a year ago and it was the best thing I have done for my health. We do Sherri’s yoga dance every Tuesday and Thursday 10:30 classes, it’s an awesome class and it’s such a wonderful, positive class. Sherri is such a great fun loving lady who encourages one and all with such an amazing positive outlook of each of our individual abilities. When Sherri decided to start up the chair exercise class there was no question that we were going to join. It doesn’t matter how sore or down we are going into Sherri’s class we come out laughing and smiling ear to ear, that’s just how she makes you feel. Sherri’s a great instructor and I would sign up for any class she was teaching.

Fantastic experience: Great place to work out and kids love the daycare here too :)

Fantastic experience: I am so happy to have joined the women’s fitness gym in Pickering. I met two people that have made a significant difference in helping me reach my health and fitness goals. My personal trainer Anmareen keeps me on feet and makes my workout fun and challenging. I took a nutrition course with Rosi and she taught me a wealth of information on how to choose better foods for my health. During Rosi’s 8-week program, along with working out with Anmareen, I lost 4.8 pounds of fat, 2.5% body fat, 1.5" from waist, 2" from tummy. THANK YOU, LADIES, YOU BOTH ROCK!

Fantastic experience: I love that gym. People is kind. Very clean, good organization and a good schedule for many directed activities all inclusive. Even you can take a shower after your workout. Very comfortable place.

Negative experience: Fellow reviewer - Itz potato......I agree with you. These frauds deserve O stars. These 5 star reviews are highly questionable. Never in my life have I experienced such down right disgusting and objectionable customer service. Unbeknownst to me as I am an associate card holder (the primary card holder was out of town for 4 months) these unscrupulous people charged my credit card for 4 months for two memberships without authorization to do so There was no contracts signed. I found out that my credit card was being charged when the primary card holder came back into town and reviewed her credit card statements. I immediately contacted Women's Fitness Club Pickering and was connected to someone in Membership. In an utterly obnoxious and loathsome display of unprofessionalism, a representative of Women's Fitness Club of Canada (sadly I did not get her name or else I would have posted it here) not only had the audacity to start yelling at me she shamelessly accused me of lying about not knowing that I had a membership. It was only when I said I was on my way over to settle the manner in person did she seem to simmer down. I was in such shock at this woman's behaviour that I attempted to with some marginal success record part of the conversation. If I could upload it here I would so customers can see the how utterly unprofessional these people are. I was promised to get a full refund in 3 - 4 days. It is going on 2 weeks and I am still waiting. I about to escalate the complaint process. You people should be ashamed of yourselves. As a establishment for women, I believe we deserve better. I have had questionable services from gyms in the past but this far surpasses any bad experience I have ever had. SHAME!!!

Positive experience: My only complaint ( or more of a request) would be more boot camp type classes for free in evening. Like Good life has Les Mills Body Pump and boxing. It seems you have to pay a separate fee for these types of classes at Women’s Fitness. Other than that, I’m very happy with the facility over all.

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Rosi Vandherheijden since I started the gym many years ago. Everything came to a halt when the pandemic started aprx 2 years ago. I was lucky enough that Rosi reached out to me to train with her via Lyft program which I love. You can see what you are doing it is like looking in the mirror when training. She corrects any errors that I am doing, gives me options when I cannot do a certain exercise. Since I have been using the Lyft program I found better strength in my upper body. Rosi gives you homework and you may also go back and train on your own by watching the sessions that you have completed. I would highly recommend this program to any one.

Negative experience: Be aware from these scammers. All Fake reviews. They are ripping customers.they keep Charged me over payment every month even after cancellation membership, very rude and bad customer service the lady name “jenny” hang up the call couple times during conversation without listening and solving payment issue. Keep showing bad behaviour, attitude. seems Like customers has no values or respect for her. Very disappointed.

Fantastic experience: I've joined recently but trust me it's a great place for workout. Staff is nice n I enjoy different types of classes .

Fantastic experience: I joined Womens Fitness in November 2018 and have been enjoying it since. Erin signed me up and is an absolute joy to converse with, always smiling! Before Nyasha paired me with a personal trainer we discussed lifestyle, injuries/areas of concern, goals, and the body composition analyzer; she did not push me towards a personal trainer but was very helpful in educating and reassuring my concerns. Alanna is my personal trainer, she is always in a good mood, very knowledgeable, and pays attention to my form. I’ve met with Rola for a couple FST sessions and they were pleasant experiences, she is very knowledgeable and super friendly! I felt a difference in range of motion after a session. I’ve been to several different classes and they’re great. All of the teachers are friendly and they always provide different intensity levels.

Fantastic experience: I am currently taking the Barre It class. It is a wonderful class made even better by the instructor Shari Coulter. She is amazing. For the most part the class follows a routine, however Shari adds different moves and exercises every week. My physical ability has increased and at the age of 75 that is very imortant for me. Shari’s knowledge and experience regarding the human body is phenomenal and adds credibility to what Shari is teaching.

Fantastic experience: Have been with this gym for approximately 2 years. Love it! Very welcoming, clean, comfortable environment. Excellent, knowledgeable trainers & all the equipment, free weights, balls and classes you need. I have OA and have been working with Shari as a trainer. She's a great motivator and wonderful at developing and modifying routines to meet my needs. Recently I tried Shari's Chair Fitness class....wonderful alternative workout if you want to take pressure off your knees but still work through a wide range of stretches and yoga poses. Her yoga dance class is also excellent.

Fantastic experience: Shari Coulter's barre class is AMAZING!! For all levels! Love it!!

Fantastic experience: Extremely happy to join this club! I enjoy my group classes and find that all the instructors are passionate and caring. I was very happy to meet the PT Director Nyasha who took her time to first listen to my interests, and then explained to me how I can have fun working out. Thank you Nyasha this was my first time ever to have one on one conversation about my health goals and you were awesome in guiding me through it.

Fantastic experience: Recently rejoined the Pickering club after a few years of being away, one of the best decisions I’ve made. I recently met with Nyasha to discuss my goals and how to achieve them. She was very knowledgeable and friendly. The overall vibe of the club is welcoming, warm and most importantly always clean! :)

Positive experience: Work in progress. Hoping it will feel better in the coming months.

Fantastic experience: You're not just lifting weights or doing cardio, it's a mix of both. Both Nella & Maureen, two of the many amazing instructors, are very intense & push me to my limits. I Love the way they frequently change up their routine to keep you motivated, challenged & see results

Fantastic experience: This club is so clean, friendly, and the staff are fantastic. Really enjoyed my assessment with Nyasha and got some great info. Recommend checking it out for sure!

Fantastic experience: Located in Pickering Town Centre. This is a fantastic gym. It was my regular spot before they opened up their Ajax location (this closer to where I love) but I still come here for the weekly Socafit class (Saturday at 8:30am). I'm alway greeted by friendly, and very welcoming patrons. It's a great place to workout if you're looking for a change.

Fantastic experience: This is the first gym that I have been motivated to dedicate time to go to each week. The facilities are great and clean and the staff is very nice. My trainer Rola is great! She definitely encourages me to work really hard during my workouts and pushes me to reach new goals. I rate this gym two thumbs up for sure.

Fantastic experience: Have been going to the club for 3 years and just love it. People are extremely friendly. Instructors are awesome! Linda bursts with energy in the spin classes, keeping everyone smiling and focused and the Hot yoga class with Gerald is the best!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend...love the classes with Linda and my personal trainer Rosie V. All the staff and women are very friendly and make my exercise fun. I joined this gym over two years ago and never had joined a gym previously. I was in my 50’s and was gaining weight and had a goal to get healthier and build my strength/stamina. I didn’t know how to exercise at a gym so I hired a personal trainer at the gym named Rosie V. She was interested in my life goals and worked with me to build a customized program to meet my abilities when I started while developing me against my goals. In my first year Rosie motivated me to keep going and kept evolving my program as I built capabilities. She gave me insight of what I needed to do to achieve my goals. The first year I lost 40 pounds and built strength and stamina. I joined some of the classes at the gym as they were more fun than exercising on my own. In my second year I got more serious and joined the spinning class with Linda that I just love as well as maintaining my personal training with Rosie V. This year I have lost 75 pounds and built my strength and stamina to have the confidence to go tree trekking with work colleagues as well as joining other physical activities that I would never have done in the past. My personal trainer continues to customize my program to my abilities and keeps me motivated. All the staff and other women at this gym are very welcoming and I love the classes. Attending the Pickering Women’s Fitness Clubs of Canada doesn’t feel like exercise but a fun environment that improved my health. I highly recommend !

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of this club since 2012. I have been with my trainer, Rosi V since I joined. My overall strength has increased dramatically, so has my bone density! My training program is never the same with Rosi. She is able to put together a variety of challenges for me for my overall fitness and wellbeing and ensures that I am never bored. I am so happy to have joined Women's Fitness, and to have Rosi as part of my fitness team. I have been training with Rosi Vanderheijden since 2012 at the gym in Pickering. The pandemic caused a hiatus in everyone's training sessions, but fortunately the gym came to the rescue with the LEAD program. I have participated in this program from home with Rosi as my guide. I am so thankful for the opportunity to return to a fitness schedule and improve my overall health. BRAVO Women's Fitness Clubs, and a big thank you to Rosi who never gives up on me and changes the programme to meet my needs.

Fantastic experience: I go to the gym to do zumba class every thursday. Amanda is an excellent instructor and nice lady.I also enjoy the music she puts on...a great way to stay in shape.. she is # 1 (numero 1)

Fantastic experience: Excellent instructors. I really enjoy spinning, Yoga dance, Cardiogroove and Pilates. The yoga classes are really good too.

Fantastic experience: Entering my 8th month at the gym with consistent attendance. It's to do with the friendly atmosphere, no competition, no judgement, wide variety of classes led by positive instructors and members and it's fun!! Looking forward to continuing being part of a great Womens Fitness Club in the Pickering Town Center Mall !!! Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Nice and clean gym and very friendly staff, I had a great experience with one of the consulting staff members Nyasha who consulted me about my goals and short and long term health and fitness plan, she is very knowledgeable and takes her time to explain everything I needed to know in detail!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member at this gym for over and year and work very close by the pickering location. Due to other personal commitments, I haven’t been able to take full advantage of my membership. I met this wonderful lady, Nyasha Sharpe (new fitness director) one late evening at the new Ajax location. She was extremely professional and very personable and was able to identify areas of improvement in terms of fitness and wellbeing. She stressed the importance of fitness and consistency and has most certainly helped create the motivation to get back into the gym on a regular basis for me. As a result, I decided not to cancel my memebership fee. She is incredibly hard working and is always working back and forth at both Ajax and pickering gyms. Highly recommend to reach out to Nyasha for direction on fitness, personal training or even motivational therapy!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Rola, our new Fascia Stretch Therapist. Rola managed to work around my many issues (low back, hip and shoulders) to give me a pain free wonderful stretch. Will definitely book her again!

Fantastic experience: Tonight, I had a schedule consultation session with Nyasha Sharpe. She is very informative and provided an excellent guideline to enable me start achieving my health and wellness goals

Fantastic experience: I love the all women's gym. My trainer shannon is the best. She makes my sessions fun and challenging .

Fantastic experience: Positive environment , great classes and great space!

Fantastic experience: Been coming here for years, super convenient location with great staff to match!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic equipment and you Never have to wait! Super friendly and knowledable staff! GREAT gym

Positive experience: Feeling so sad. Yet again we loose another fantastic instructor Michelle "Box fit". Do to her other commitments she can no longer do her Wednesday night 5:30pm class. Would go to one of her classes in almost any time slot she is that good. There are now no good muscle classes on the schedule and any of the good classes are now scheduled late in the evening. Would love to see more good classes at 5:30-6:00 slot.

Fantastic experience: Excellent club! I’ve been a member since 2007 and it meets all my needs plus more. Instructors are top notch - constantly changing their routines and music (love it!). Friendly and welcoming environment.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful club! So convenient being in the mall. The staff is amazing. They’re so helpful!

Fantastic experience: This is a great club to work out at. I love the convenience of the mall, the staff are amazing and the classes are fun and motivating.

Fantastic experience: It's pricey, but I did really like it there.

Positive experience: Amazing gym at a convenient location as I work in the mall. Helpful friendly staff, always clean and plenty of equiptment to use. Music and tvs always on but empty studios you can use if you want peace. Some cons are its in a basement so no natural light, kinda feels like a dungeon, classes arent mid day, either early morning or late at night so i can never attend. All mall doors do not open till 6:30 and the only option unless you drive is to walk around the whole mall outside in the dark to get to the only open door.

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Andrea for the last month or so. She is doing a great job and makes me feel really good about myself. She introduced me to kick boxing. I LOVE it. Thank you Andrea.

Fantastic experience: I train with Rosi Vanderheijden and look forward to my training, at the beginning of our training she always ask if I have any issues with previous injuries and will modify the routine if needed. Rosi is always upbeat, positive and gives 100% attention. She also gives tips on nutrition and the newest health and fitness studies. Rosi will push me because I need it and change up the routine from week to week so I don't get bored. I enjoy working out with Rosi because she practices what she teaches (a healthy lifestyle), very inspirational.

Fantastic experience: I joined Women's Fitness in April 2009, just prior to my 55th birthday, determined to become fit after 30 years of sitting at a desk. I needed to lose 20 lbs., gain strength and lose body fat. After 5 months of working out in classes and on my own I had made some progress. I decided to "kick it up a notch" and began training with Rosi Vanderheijden. This was the best decision I have ever made regarding my health and wellness. Training once per week with Rosi accelerated my progress and I reached my goal in February 2010. I am stronger and fitter than I have ever been. I'm still training with Rosi once per week. She has encouraged me to run and at age 60 I did a 10 km fun run as well as a 5 km chip timed run. In the latter I came in first in my age group and 3rd in the "masters" (women 40 and over). Rosi has been unfailingly helpful throughout this time, ensuring that I am continuously challenged while teaching me to be mindful of my body and its limitations. With her coaching I have been able to work out through injuries and I have no doubt that I will continue to be fit and healthy in my retirement. In addition to personal training I also take classes in Yoga and Pilates. I have worked with Tina, Nikki, Desta, Kat, Christina, Re and Danielle. All very different and excellent instructors. WFCC is a great place for anyone who wants to invest in their fitness future. Susan L (age 61)

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Women's Fitness for the last three years and I absolutely love it! Everyone is extremely welcoming and the personnel really cultivate an atmosphere where you feel empowered to better yourself. If you really want a good workout, look to attend Lynda Kirow and Nella Mauro's classes - both ladies are extremely fun, motivating, and tough. Love them both! Special thanks to the ladies at the front as well! They are always so helpful and friendly no matter what! Makes going to the gym easy :)

Fantastic experience: Everything about this club has made my transition back into working out regularly a great experience. Everyone is very friendly and helpful all the time, no exceptions. The best part however, is the Personal Trainer I have been working with - Rosi Vanderheijden. She is motivating, positive, funny...and challenging. Every day that I work out with Rosi is a great day. I recommend her to all of my friends and clients at all fitness levels.

Fantastic experience: I have trained with Michelle Steele at the gym for a few months now on different occasions. She is a great motivator. I love how she is very concerned with what you eat and explains to you that if you want to see results.... you have to eat the right stuff. She is also flexible when my fitness goals have changed which is great.

Fantastic experience: Been a member of the gym since it opened. First year did the machines. Then Rosi Vanderheijden talk to me about personal training. We have been doing so twice a week since 2009. She is outstanding trainer, varies the workouts, shows me what to do and is very personable. Club has everything you need and I find it clean. Definitely worth the time and money.
