Fantastic experience: I've been coming here and training with Hannah for a few months now. Hannah is great, really cares about her clients, and makes sessions fun. I don't feel intimidated or out of place here because the staff makes the space feel welcoming to everyone. Hannah has helped me improve my form and pays attention to all aspects of movement, I really feel the difference. Thanks!

Fantastic experience: Chill atmosphere with knowledgeable, passionate staff who actually care about you. And sometimes there’s dogs for cuddles!

Fantastic experience: I signed up for 1:1 sessions with Leeland (the owner) and they've been amazing so far, I plan to continue at this gym for years to come, his cost is affordable and the program he created for me is targeting all the goals I have. It's been only 1.5 months and I already feel a lot stronger and I'm seeing physical results with two sessions a week. He's extremely educated and very encouraging during our sessions; he pushes me to see my true strength and not give up when it gets hard. The environment is welcoming and everyone in the gym makes an effort to say hello. I always look forward to my sessions because Leeland makes them enjoyable, they include good conversation, hard work and support. It's an awesome little community to be a part of and I feel really grateful to be supported by private fitness. Also, bonus, they have the cutest sweetest doggies that offer additional moral support when the work outs feel like torture ;)

Negative experience: Don't waste your money. I used to train with the owner and he was great when he showed up, but he had a habit of being terrible with communication and now showing up to appointments. He'd occasionally ignore my messages for multiple months at a time. This got worse over the years and despite trying to train on most weekends in both 2023 and 2024, I only managed to train with him 9 times in 2023 and 6 times in 2024. The rest of the time he would either delay the sessions, not show up to a scheduled appointment, or just ignore my messages entirely. This got worse in the second half of 2024 and he stopped responding to my messages entirely. I still have a lot of prepaid private training sessions that I bought years ago, but it seems like he isn't going to bother to fulfill them.

Negative experience: Owner or employee constantly has their minimally trained large off leash dog on the public sidewalk and lets it greet dogs and people freely. Their dog is not always friendly and I’ve had to pull them away from attacking my dog. Asked to put on a leash and they are back again daily not on leash. Reported to animal services who stated they had other complaints and will ticket you next time. Stop being an irresponsible dog owner

Positive experience: My partner and I signed up for a free intro session with Colin not really knowing what to expect, but he is a knowledgeable trainer and is passionate about working with clients to help them obtain optimal strength and mobility. He has great energy and you can tell he wants the best for his clients! I think this gym would be a good place for those who are looking to get into fitness but have little to no experience and want 1 on 1 coaching.

Adrienne Murphy 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Immediate improvement - I worked with Colin around a previous shoulder injury and after an hour and a half session felt major improvements in both mobility and comfort. He does a great job of explaining the moves and the process behind how things work. A+ session.

Jack Mijatovic 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Just moved into town, let me use the gym for a workout at no charge! Friendly, welcoming spot. Definitely a good place to checkout regarding overall well being!

Sofia Hanley 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I had an incredible first experience at Private Fitness. Trainer Colin is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. He meets you where you are at. His approach makes you feel comfortable to ask questions and he breaks everything down into easy to digest steps. I learned so much in just one session. What a wonderful environment for learning and evolving your fitness goals at any level!

Cherstene R 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I am a CPA athlete. In prep last year I had intense back pain and I was looking for solutions. I went to private fitness a couple times working with Colin and with his knowledge, workouts and stretching I was back to hitting weights in no time! Many thank youz ✨

Fantastic experience: I feel right at home here. Great atmosphere and great trainers. No vitamins or food upselling. Perfect!

Sarah Corea 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: After one session, my hips felt 5 years younger, and I felt like I could stand properly for the first time. Fixed my squat, centered my posture, in one session. Gained lots of valuable insight as well on the body, as them all the questions you have! These guys are a chiropractor, physiotherapist, life coach, and personal trainer all in one. Will be coming back with friends

Fantastic experience: I’ve been working with Maddie for 3 months now and I’m incredibly impressed with how much progress we’ve made. Maddie is extremely knowledgeable, and always finds a way to make workouts fun & enjoyable. I’ve been hesitant to track my measurements, food, etc, but Maddie always finds a way to support me through it. Her patience and dedication to her clients is so inspiring. If you’re looking for someone who can make the gym less scary and more fun, I highly suggest working with Maddie. Super grateful for her and the entire private fitness team.

Don Manning 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’m a newcomer to Private Fitness and have been impressed by the professionalism, especially the attention to teaching and continually reinforcing correct form. As a 78 year old senior, who hadn’t seen the inside of a gym for far too long, I appreciate how Susan and Colin have tailored a program to my needs. Private Fitness is an excellent fit with my objective in retirement: Always Be Learning & Moving.

Monica Friesen 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Never feel like you can't build muscle & mind/body strength! I've been partner training with my dear friend for 18 months. Colin's approach to heal/correct/release previous injuries or mindsets is beyond anyone I've ever met. The functional fitness program he lives and breathes challenges us daily and we cant wait to return for another session! Come and meet him and if you're shy, grab your bestie and get after it!! We love it here!!

Fantastic experience: Private Fitness has changed my life!! After a long sports career with numerous injuries and too many surgeries to list, I met Colin after a major knee operation 2 years ago. What started out as rehabilitation on my knee turned into a complete overhaul on my entire body to begin the process of undoing years of abuse, and the start of building it back with strength and mobility. The holistic approach and knowledge has been nothing short of phenomenal. Colins attention to detail in his trained fields of fitness and well being has made me fit, pain free, mobile, and stronger than I ever could have imagined at 48 years young!! The facility and culture that Leeland and Colin have built is something special. Private Fitness is a place that is comfortable and accommodating for everyone. I love the environment when elite athletes all the way to people in their senior years just trying to stay mobile can co-exist and inspire each other daily. The versatility of Private Fitness is impressive. Whether you are coming in for a quiet mobility sessions to clear your head, and nice table stretch with Colin and a sauna, or open the doors and crank tunes to crush an intense training session, I always leave feeling accomplished and 1% better with a clearer head space. Private Fitness.........."Where there are no Strangers, just great people and friends you haven't met yet."

Fantastic experience: Tired of big, corporate gyms that treat you just like everybody else??? Private Fitness is, by far, the best gym in Victoria...and believe me, I've tried a number! Great space, up-to-date equipment, knowledgable trainers and most important, big enough to have what you need, and small enough to actually care about your progress. Support Local! Try Private Fitness!

Trusted Trove 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Private Fitness is such an amazing gym. The staff are so chill. The space is clean and sheik. Really the whole vibe is just great. It gives me that extra incentive to commit to the gym instead of burning out from the thought of being around too many people like at a public gym. Definitely would recommend!

Jake Goode 2 years ago

Corey Schlatter 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I went in for an assessment with Colin to work on my mobility. He is extremely knowledgeable about the human body & all the factors that play into the area you are working toward improving. The assessment was super fun but also produced results. Whether you're a beginner in the gym or a seasoned vet, I recommend a session with Colin!

Christina Torrez 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’m so grateful to private fitness for allowing a welcoming and comfortable environment. Leeland is amazing and provides something I have never been able to find with just a regular routine or trainers in other gyms. It’s been the first time I’ve been able to love my fitness journey because of all the support I get. Can’t recommend it enough!

Carmel Curtis 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Private Fitness changed my life, and that’s not an exaggeration. I was always intimated to go to the gym. Being surrounded by beautiful, strong, super fit people sounded like a good way to lose all my motivation. I had ONE meeting with Leeland and knew right away that this was the place for me. Having a personal trainer that understands that mental health is a major part of fitness made a HUGE difference for me. I started coming twice a week (before work! Sounds fake, I know) and felt instantly more confident and had way more energy. If you’re thinking about trying out Private Fitness, don’t wait. Do it now. It’ll change your life, and only for the better. I’m so grateful I did.

Private Fitness

We’re so grateful to have you and so happy you have made so much progress! Congratulations Carmel

Fantastic experience: This the best gym in town! Amazing facility and great staff. Always keeps me motivated and excited to learn new things. I always feel comfortable in this space and would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a great environment with great people! :)

Oressa Mathers-Cyr 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Colin is INCREDIBLE. I swear that man works magic! I was in a serious vehicle accident, I couldn’t even walk to the end of my driveway without triggering a migraine. He helped me get back in touch with my body and taught me about intuitively listening to what my body is telling me. I would walk into a session with him with no hope or faith and I would leave feeling 100x better & confident with my plan moving forwards. I could barely stretch my hands past my knees and after a session I could touch my toes. He is not a regular personal trainer and his education, skills and strategies are what differentiate him. I would recommend him to absolutely anyone no matter what your goals are, Colin can help with everything.

Private Fitness

Colin is the best! Thank you for your review Oressa, we’re so happy you’ve had such tremendous success.
