Fantastic experience: I have been going to this gym for a long time, maybe 15 or 20 years? Anyways, it is my kind of place. Everyone is welcome, the staff is friendly and obliging, and if anything breaks it gets promptly fixed. This is not a big city gym, it is Salt Spring's gym.

Positive experience: It's alright, just glad to have gym options on the island. Equipment is outdated and facilities are cramped and somewhat limited, but staff are nice and its convenient.

Hey Abe - thanks for the review. Since Jen and I purchased the gym in 2022 we've been working hard to up grade the equipment and space. If you have any ideas about what equipment you would like to see please let us know. Sean

Negative experience: This is a decent gym, not the best ventilation and quite cramped in the cardio room. Staff were pleasant. However, you should be warned that if you purchase a drop in pass, you will not get a refund even when life circumstances made the need for such out of your own control. Owners hold rigidly to this policy. I originally just posted the above but... Since the owner is deciding to respond is such a way, what happened is that I purchased a 10 punch pass, used one and then got evicted. Gym passes and trying to track down a refund was (of course) at the bottom of my list of priorities, as I believed I would get a reasonable response. I do not even live on Saltspring anymore and only know a few people and yet the owner thinks they are being generous to invite me to sell or transfer my pass. I responded respectfully to this owner, and did give clear communication (not a threat, a heads up) ahead of time that I would be offering an honest review about the rigidity of this policy. I hope the owner feels good about their free $70 and puts it to use helping someone else who needs it. The owner has decided to stick rigidly to their policy despite extenuating circumstances, and I believe that folks should understand that before buying a pass here. I managed to get someone else to use my sauna pass and stopped in this weekend while visiting to discuss the refund, at which point the staff gave me the owner's email.

This particular customer did not appreciate it when we when we would not refund her pass purchased over 5 months previous - a request I think most folks would agree is somewhat unreasonable. This customer also threatened a poor review should we not comply - we won't be threatened here at GF. I explained our policy and offered to honour the pass should she wish to sell it. This was not good enough for this customer. We are thankful for the hundreds of other wonderful members who frequent our establishment and honour us with their presence and treat us like family.

Positive experience: Extremely compact machine and weight room. Feels like a lot of the space could be used for the better.

Hey, thanks for the review. The business is under new ownership as of last year. We have been building up the business since and making changes. One consideration is how to best utilize the space. We too feel the cardio room is cramped. We have some ideas, curious about yours. Feel free to email us with ideas or concerns at [email protected].

Fantastic experience: Spent 5 months on SSI and loved going to Ganges Fitness everyday! Absolutely wonderful staff, super clean and they have all the equipment you might want or need. My favorite was doing a dance/aerobic routine in the large mirrored room to my favorite Motown music. Very grateful for all the support. Thank you Jen, Shawn, Janice, Kira and Erika!

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym but open at 6 and close at 7 or 8 would be epic

Hey There - thanks for your note. My name is Sean - I am one of the new owners here as of two weeks ago. Changes are in the works on many levels, but one is our hours. Over Covid the hours had to be drastically reduced. We are now expanding hours where we can and as fast as we can. We are open Wed / Thur until 8 now, and Sat until 4. We are working on early morning hours as well. What would work for you do you think, and the "working class" ? I would actually love to know what you think. Please email us at [email protected] - attn Sean. Thanks!

Thanks T Bone! Yes, body odour is occasionally a problem - its a touchy one, as sometimes the odour is a by product of chemo - therapy (but usually its just bad hygiene) if you are still on Saltspring and you mention it to Chris, we will see if we can have a word to the offender!
