Damian Warner Fitness Centre North: Opinions
Negative experience: I went to Damian Warner and took a tour around the gym. The guy at the front desk took me for the tour like he was not paid for it. I would have joined this gym if I had better customer service. Other gyms in London have very proactive team members.
Hey Jude, we apologize for this and we are surpirsed to hear ths as we often are told great feedback about our teams. If you could reach out to us to give us more details, we'd also like to make this right with you and help you out. Please email [email protected] and we will be in touch soon! Thank you,
Fantastic experience: First of all Very Clean and well maintained.No waiting for machines..quite busy at the peak hours but still no rush.Mornings are more peaceful.weekends are all yours and very less crowded during the weekends.
Fantastic experience: A complete work out area, everything you need to get in shape.
Hey Ahmed, thank you for your feedback, we are happy that you are enjoying the gym!
Fantastic experience: It’s a good gym as far as commercial gyms go. Lots of equipment selection, never super busy, a women’s only area. Workout classes and a pool. Therapy services. A CrossFit style area. It really has everything you could ask for at a very reasonable price.
Hey Carrie, thank you so much for your feedback! We are happy that you are enjoying everything that we have to offer!
Positive experience: Equipment are good enough, really nice to have someone always cleaning the gym. Shower room is clean and tidy. However, the sauna room in the pool’s washroom is not always on. Most of the front desks staffs are really welcome and helpful, but there is one who is not really polite and kind of mean. Every time I go there in the morning makes me little bit stressful.
Hey Mia, thanks for the review, please let us know if there is anything that could turn your 4-stars into 5!
Negative experience: Do not go here! Gym has been taking money out of my account without permission for months! I found out I was pregnant in November 2023, I called and spoke to staff who told me I had to go in and speak in person to a manager. I explained that I could not do this as I worked 7-5pm and the manager was not in at that time, and I was about to be put on bedrest for my pregnancy. I called and spoke to the manager himself and explained my situation to him. Told him I was working, pregnant, did not need my membership anymore so I wanted to cancel and also wasn't allowing them to take out anymore payments. The Manager (Brody) told me he understood. They have continued to take out money without my permission. Now in July 2024, I have been charged 3 payments this month, July 2nd, 15th and 30th. They sent me an email stating I owe $200 in back pay for my membership. I am sitting at home with a newborn baby and this company is stealing my money. Worst experience I have ever had with a gym. I do not recommend this gym to anyone.
We would never take money from someone that has not signed up for a membership - Bethany purchased a 12-month commitment membership contract and wanted to end her contract early. We understand that things come up but we do make our membership options clear at the time of sign up, and we of course have to be fair to our members who opted to pay more for the no-commitment plan that can be cancelled any time for reasons like this, so we gave her options (membership holds, membership contract transfers, etc). We cancelled her membership for the upcoming end of her commitment period and waived a portion of her overdue balance to help her out, but she did not respond and left this review instead. The 3 payments in July was because she decided to pay biweekly (every other Monday) and the payment schedule for that membership type falls on Monday July 1, Monday July 15, and Monday July 29. No payments outside of what she agreed to have been charged and we are always willing to work with our members and provide options if they are unhappy!
Fantastic experience: Excelente!! No pido mas
Thank you Edeliz!!
Fantastic experience: Every time I visit here, there is a staff member named Matt who always greets me with kindness and a smile, so I have a great time working out. He really seems to be the best staff member.
Hey Chiok, thank you so much for the great review, we will be sure to let Matt know!! Thank you,
Fantastic experience: I've been attending the facility for as long as it has been a gym -- going back to 1997! Now that the space is Damien Warner Fitness Center, I am loving it more than ever. There is so much equipment, so much space on multiple floors, great energy staff, popular classes, and an all-around good vibe. Thank you to Southside, DW, Vito, and all who have made this place so great in the post-Covid era. DWFC will be my big-box gym of choice in London for years to come.
Hey B.J., thank you so much for your kind words and the great review, we are happy to have you here as a member!
Positive experience: The dude who picks up at the front desk sounds like he's high.. not professional at all. Good gym overall exactly the same as athletic club or movati
Fantastic experience: First gym I’ve actually stayed consistent with and enjoy going to. Such a positive environment, the staff are very friendly, attentive and so helpful when I ask questions pertaining my goals :)
Fantastic experience: Great
Hey Mustafa! Thanks for the 5-star review :)
Fantastic experience: Very nice facility. Love the stuff and the people that work out are very respectful!
Thank you Andres!!
Fantastic experience: solid gym! clean, spacious, and great equipment. tons of hammer strength plate-loaded machines available and all really good. something for everyone!
Thank you Alexandra!!
Fantastic experience: Joined one month ago and I have been very impressed! Well cared for facilities, friendly staff, and a good variety of equipment. Pool access and all classes are included in the base biweekly membership fee, so it is excellent value for money when compared to other similar gyms in the area.
Hey Joey, thank you so much for your positive feedback and for your 5-star review!!
Positive experience: What you typically see first is an upper and lower area of a typical gym format. But what's surprising is an awesome new giant modern functional fitness room at the back of the club that brings a cross-fit vibe with dedicated weights, cardio, and artificial grass turf for functional mobility workouts. Add as well another smaller version of a functional room nearby that also has a turf for additional unique workout experiences, a large indoor pool, a giant new fitness class room, various smaller rooms for classes, and a private woman's only area. This place is gigantic. Televisions, audio hardware, paint, and other items in certain areas await improvements since the Damian Warner Group took over the gym. The previous club Movati didn't seem to invest much into upgrading this location in the last 10+ years. Staff members are welcoming, friendly, and the presence of maintenance and cleaning professionals is far more evident here than at other gyms. Well worth the membership fee if you plan to utilize the features.
Hey Greg, thank you for your positive review!! We are currently working to upgrade as much as we can - you'll be happy to know that currently the paint and machine upholstry is being addressed! Thanks again
Fantastic experience: I've never joined a gym before so shopped around before committing, especially being a first timer who knows nothing about exercising lol. Such a welcoming, diverse, comfortable place to be. Classes are immeasurable (my favourite part), pool is perfect, rooms/machines/options are endless, staff is outstanding - especially front desk. Have made so many friends already and got to meet Damian himself today. Absolutely love going and look forward to continuing my health journey at Damian Warner.
Hey Lauren, thank you so much for your 5-star review!! We are happy to have you part of our community here at DWFC.
Fantastic experience: Good service always clean but waters are always little bit too cold. Cleaners and staffs are super friendly
Hey Selina, thanks for the 5-star review, we are happy to have you here as a member! We keep our pools consistently between 84-86 degrees F, but we did recently increase the air temperature of the room due to the colder weather outdoors. This may make the water feel cooler compared to the warm air! Thanks again.
Negative experience: Place is soooooo old and run down. Machines are old with ripped seats and handles that are missing grips, dumbells have painted on numbers and are never organized, weights are all over the place, the only good thing is they have a pool, good life is waaayyyyy better.
Fantastic experience: Great gym !!
Thank you Matt!!
Positive experience: I wish they would open 24/7
Fantastic experience: Good costumer service :l
Negative experience: My mom visited (well tried to visit) this location for the first time with a 3-day pass without an expiry date. It was an absolute waste of her time and gas. The staff claimed the pass expired which is clearly not true (photos attached) and refused entry. Usually gyms at least give a free trial so people can try it out but they wouldn't even offer that. Yikes. What an unwise business decision. Obviously lost a potential member here.
Hello Heeseo! I tried searching your name in our system but I can't find you to contact you. We apologize, this was definitely a mistake and the pass should have been honoured - I believe our staff may have been confused. We'd like to help your mother out, could you have her contact our management team at [email protected] or 519-914-5280. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Been a member since its beginning. Great experience. Their small group classes are good too:
Hey Rajbinder! Thanks for your 5-star review, we are glad that you have been enjoying our small group training!
Fantastic experience: My son went to do visitor pass and the front staff desk were helpful and great do work work. He enjoyed the facility. Thank you.
Thank you Elizabeth! We hope your son enjoyed his time here!
Fantastic experience: New member here, great facilities! Clean, friendly good Vibes all around. Time to get in vacation shape!
Thank you Stephanie!
Fantastic experience: Awesome spot to get your workout in! I'm on the 5 days for $5 in Aug deal. Has everything you could possibly want/need. I'm a swimmer so having a pool is huge for me. Great gym, great vibe Looking forward to signing up for a full membership in September!
Thank you for the feedback David! We hope to have you as a member soon!
Positive experience: Staff are all very welcoming...the gym is so so...it's closer to home and had the equipment I need...but if it had a sauna,(they do have a steamer) would be nice.
Hello Shaharyar! Thank you for your feedback! If you are ever in the area of the South club, be sure to stop in and try out the dry sauna there!
Fantastic experience: Plenty of parking spots. Clean, always get the facility you need even at 5 pm. No unstopping promotions from personal trainers.
Thank you for your feedback, Wen!
Fantastic experience: Spacious gym with lots of equipment. Staffs are friendly and helpful.
Thank you Trinh for the 5-star review!
Fantastic experience: Amazing gym with incredible staff and programs!
Thank you so much for your feedback!
Fantastic experience: Great gym, good classes, love the sauna/steam room and pool. Staff are so helpful and the facility is always clean!
Thank you for your positive feedback Luisa!
Fantastic experience: Nice gym, has a good variety of classes, and good space for workouts. Very clean !!
Hello Gloria, thank you so much for the 5-star review!
Negative experience: I wish that staff could monitor people whether they take a shower before going into the pool. I find that most of the pool users do not shower, which is quite disgusting. It is a kinds safety hazard.
Hello K! We definitely agree that everyone should shower before entering the pool and it is our policy. We find it very hard to monitor this without having staff to watch people in the changerooms/showers. If you have a complaint about any individuals in particular who are not following any policy, our front desk staff would be happy to give them a friendly reminder! Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Clean, bright and well-equipped!
Thank you Duncan!
Fantastic experience: I’m happy with the layout and the equipment. Staff are all very nice and helpful. I wish they could add a bit of classic rock to the music they play, but overall it’s a great place to workout
Hello Bry! Thank you for the 5-star review! We are definitely a bit limited in our music options and we hope to improve this soon!
Fantastic experience: Best gym in London hands down! Top notch equipment, cleanest facility and largest variety of work out options available hands down!
Thank you Nicole for your 5-star review!!
Positive experience: Staff are supportive and very friendly. I am never waiting to use a machine as there are a number of each machine.
Thank you Cindy!
Fantastic experience: I really enjoy going to this gym and especially like the women's only gym and pool. It was neat to meet Damian Warner too.
Thank you Tina!!
Fantastic experience: the best gym ever! and great staff!
Thank you Esther!
Fantastic experience: Damien Warner is a great gym with fantastic classes I really enjoy Lucas's classes he works you hard but they are doable He should start a dance class He's an amazing dancer
Fantastic experience: Clean and friendly environment
Fantastic experience: Great gym, you get what you pay for here plus all the members and staff are always great to the members. Switched over recently from another gym and honestly I am very happy with Damian Warner Fitness all around!
Fantastic experience: Great space to train. Friendly staff! Thanks Hamada Matthew!!
Fantastic experience: Staff is so very friendly:)
Fantastic experience: Erratta: The name should say Zora’s brother Dr. John Jan Drozd. I am not an imposter I love Damian Warner for reopening and renovating the Movati (I was an original Athletic Club member, originally was a car dealership building) fitness clubs in London, Ontario. Working out and swimming is my forte but there is also squash and free classes. I love the Aquafit classes. I am reading Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Bodybuilding Bible book and the Damian Warner Fitness Club equips me to do these exercises to get fit and healthy. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Great workout areas. Staff are helpful too.
Fantastic experience: Great staff
Negative experience: I called in to cancel my membership because I was going away for a few weeks and then would be unable to continue going to the gym upon my return. They said I needed to come in person. I said I couldn't because I was leaving out of town and she agreed to cancel it or sign off on my behalf so it could be cancelled... Fast forward to now and there have been 6 charges from Damien Warner from my bank. I called and asked them to refund the amount and they are refusing to do so. They have record the day I called, put my account on hold for 2 weeks that day and then resumed charging me. I've now talked to or emailed 3 different people in the organization and they keep telling me I should have called once I noticed the first charge and are refusing a refund.... Irrespective of how many incorrect charges there are. I shouldn't be paying for anything that I asked to stop paying for. I feel it very reasonable to be repaid the 6 charges they took from my account after I asked them to cancel it and they said they would. Completely ridiculous
Positive experience: good gym, good price, just wish the ladies area wasn’t moved and condensed. main reason why i come to this gym is for the women’s only. they have basically made it 1/3 the size of the old ladies only and have removed a ton of cardio machines. doesn’t even have a treadmill.
Fantastic experience: This is not really a review about the gym but more about the people. The gym was good, showers were great but the people are amazing. My five star goes to Sara and Eric. I am from out of town and do not have a membership for this gym. My son was in london Hospital and had a procedure done that was about 5 hrs. I went to a different gym and they wouldn't let me work out. I needed to burn off some steam and get my mind right for when I saw my son. Sara greeted me, understood my situation and was absolutely amazing. She got me set up and let me work out. Very kind, very compassionate person. Eric must have overheard my story and he treated me the same way. What a great couple of people. When you have the privilege of meeting those 2, let them know how wonderful they are. They both have 6 stars in my book. If I lived in London, this is the only place I would go.
Fantastic experience: Inclusive gym with many amenities. The functional gym area is very well laid out and has all the amenities to get a great workout.
Thank you Benito for the 5-star review, we are glad you like the functional spaces!
Positive experience: Nice staff. The machines could be updated.
Thanks Cicero, we are working on updating everything possible!!
Fantastic experience: Can't wait to get started. The facility is lovely and the offerings perfect for me. They have a pool, acqua fit, many kinds of yoga , a women's only area and so much equipment! I was very impressed with Brody the Manager who toured me around
Hello Kate, thanks so much for the 5-star review, we are glad to have you as a member!
Negative experience: It’s too bad it didn’t reopen without that one creepy personal trainer. It’s a decent gym otherwise, but some of the behaviours can quickly change your mind about that.
Hi Evan, we are glad that you do think we have a nice gym. It is unfortunate that you chose to leave a 1-star review for a local business based on the people who attend the gym - something we have no control over. If you did have any sort incident with anyone in the building you are welcome to discuss with us privately.
Fantastic experience: Best gym I’ve ever been, it has every machine or equipment you can ever think of, the staff it’s really nice and friendly and they also offer protein food, snacks and shakes. The gym also has a pool, massage room, multiple weightlifting room, big washrooms and change rooms, even an only girls gym and some other things but for the price is probably one of the best gyms ever.
Thank you so much Mateo for the great review!!
Fantastic experience: The BEST gym in London why !? Bc - even when super busy they have enough machines for everyone !!!! - they have everything you need and more from - steam sauna - dry sauna that actually stay working 365 days a year - pool - hot tub - cross function class - personal training 1v1 - personal training class - member perk program discounts at other local business for being a gym member !!! - women only area no men looking at you ! - cold showers !!!!! Freezing cold !!! - lockers !!!! Lockers for everyone legit everyone and than some !! - protein shake bar for 6 bucks each - coffee and pre workout bar All of this and more for only 24 ish buck bi weekly !
Fantastic experience: Es un ambiente muy agradable, los espacios están bien distribuidos, hay muchas clases disponibles que se incluyen en la cuota y el personal es muy amable.
Fantastic experience: Best gym ever !
Positive experience: Hasn't really changed since it was Movati but still a fairly good gym
Fantastic experience: Good equipment and friendly staff. I really enjoy this gym
Positive experience: Great location!! I walk to Damian Warner every day. It would be awesome if one of the squash courts had a basketball net there!
Fantastic experience: My fiance and I went to 2 of the open house days for free workouts and we loved the gym! The space is HUGE and offers way more equipment than I would've thought from just driving by. Never was a member at Movati so it's a brand new experience for me this location, not sure why people are comparing the 2 anyways it's a brand new gym! The locker rooms are spacious and clean, sauna is right in the locker room. The pool is a great size and clean. The women's only section is actually a great size and I love that dumbbells in there go up to 50lb and aren't limited to tiny dumbbells. The multiple turf areas are great for functional movements. There is a great variety of new and old equipment, welcoming and friendly staff and so far the times I've gone the gym hasn't been very busy at all. We both ended up signing up at the end of our 2nd visit. Overall we really enjoyed the gym and can't wait to come here everyday! Only thing I wish was different was that it was 24 hours :)
Fantastic experience: Very happy with this location. The staff are kind and helpful, the facility is clean and well spaced out, and the hours are great for flexibility and availability. A great location to just slip in, work out, and continue on, which is what's really needed for people with a busy lifestyle. There is only one negative that I can see thus far, which is that the change rooms are one level down from the main floor, which can be a bit of a challenge, as you do need to go up and down a pretty hefty flight of stairs if all you're doing is cardio and some weight machines.
Negative experience: I want to love this place like I used to love Movati, but unfortunately the gym no longer offers value for what I'm looking for in an exercise facility. The women's only area has been moved into a closet sized space that no longer provides an adequate choice of equipment, particularly for the upper body and cardio. In addition, the exercise classes have been significantly reduced in variety and time options. The one class I was attending, recently disappeared from the schedule with no explanation. Lastly, not everything is included in the advertised price. I'm paying more money now for less than was offered when it was Movati. The good things about this gym: the staff are friendly, it's clean and the location is convenient.
Hello Kim! Thanks for the feedback! We are working to fill our group fitness schedule as efficiently as possible, we are hoping to find some more great instructors ASAP! I wouldn't necessarily see this as "reducing the schedule" from the previous tenant in these buildings, but instead we are working hard starting from scratch and building up a schedule after recently opening! I'm happy to hear that your experiences with our staff were positive. Our only extra services not included in the base price are Squash, towels, or personal training classes, which is pretty standard for our price point. Thanks again, we will absolutely focus on adding to our group fitness schedule as a priority. :)
Fantastic experience: Love it.
Fantastic experience: This is a great gym, not too busy and has a great assortment of different equipment. Plus the protein shakes are amazing.
Thanks Lachlan, we are happy to have you here as a member!
Positive experience: Great facility, staff are usually kind and welcoming. Only downside is a lot of people record themselves (including in change rooms) and don't care about your privacy when you're half naked trying to get dressed. Having to dodge people who literally bring tripods to record their workout is rather annoying. Please consider implementing rules/restrictions in that regard.
Hey Matteo! Thank you for the great review and for the feedback! I apologize - filming or photography in any changeroom or washroom is against our policies, and we will ensure to monitor this closely but feel free to also report this to our front desk or management team in the moment and we will be happy to handle it. Thanks again!
Positive experience: Become open 24Hours or open earlier
Negative experience: It's not a biweekly membership unless you cancelled 10 day before the end of it!!! This is a scam and it doesn't make any sense! I was forced to extend my membership for another period to be cancelled. because on the first day I told the staff member I'm not giving my bank information because I want to try it out but he didn't inform me that I have to ask for cancellation 10 days before the end of the period. A new place has to make exceptions and be nice to their customers and solve their problems, but I guess they just want to make money out of us. It's clear on their website the "membership rate is $23.95 biweekly before tax" and another member beside came in while talking and he confirmed that, then the lady informed both of us again that you have to request the cancellation 10 days before the end of it. Which is hidden somewhere in the term and conditions you sign on! Funny.
Hello Ahmed, thanks for your feedback! Our memberships do have to be cancelled within the first 10 days to be eligible for a refund, but after the first 10 days we do not have a commitment on our biweekly or monthly memberships, we only require 30-days notice to cancel! Feel free to discuss further with your club manager, we'd be happy to give you any further information!
