Olympic Fitness

Expérience fantastique: Good gym with a solid range of equipment for both weight training and cardio. The place is clean and well maintained, and there’s plenty of space to work out without feeling cramped. Staff are approachable and the atmosphere is welcoming for all fitness levels. It’s been my safe haven during my stay in Duncan and a place I’ve always felt comfortable training in. Great option if you’re looking to stay active in town.

Expérience positive: The staff here are always friendly and helpful, and the gym itself has great equipment. That said, the sanitation process could really use improvement. The cleaning system relies on a few rags and spray bottles that are shared by everyone and only replaced once staff get to them, which feels unsanitary. The morning cleaning routine can also be disruptive, vacuuming is done right beside members while they are mid-set which can be a safety risk, and mop water has splashed onto personal items like gym bags if you keep it with you. A little more attention to timing and member safety during cleaning would make the environment much more welcoming and hygienic.

Expérience fantastique: I’ve never been to a gym where both the staff and members were this friendly and helpful. Thank you for such a great experience!

Expérience fantastique: Nice variety of machines and free weights. Overall a very practical gym, so it may not be good for people who want a big city gym with a juice bar and yoga classes. However, it will certainly do the job if you need a place to lift or run. Main reason for the 5 stars are for the guys who run the front end. Very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. They always make me feel welcome and they have given me excellent guidance in my fitness journey.

Expérience négative: I moved from the Mainland two years ago, where I used to pay $28/month—half of what I’m currently paying at Olympic. Despite the higher cost, the facilities here feel more cramped, with limited washroom space that often smells bad when someone uses it. That said, the people and management are friendly and respectful, which I really appreciate. Given that this town is growing and Olympic is the only gym open 24/7, I think it’s time for the management to consider expanding the facility. I wouldn’t mind paying more if the amenities actually matched the price and demand.

Expérience fantastique: Friendly staff and everything you need to have a great work out.

Expérience positive: I chose this gym for the 24 access and proximity to my home and work. The staff is friendly and helpful and it is staffed until 9pm weekdays. The building is old with low ceilings and less ventilation in the cardio area than I'd like. At peak times it gets quite busy, but there is a lot of parking available and plenty of equipment in the gym. The equipment seems well maintained and definitely well cleaned, but some of the upholstery is due to be repaired. Since posting this review at least two of the machines have had their upholstery repaired nicely.

Expérience fantastique: Friendly and helpful staff, and great atmosphere. Last month someone forgot their expensive wireless headphones in the changing room and they were there all week; no one took them. It’s that kind of place.

Expérience fantastique: Great gym, with good equipment and friendly staff. The fact that Olympic is open 24/7 is huge for me, or anyone who has a strange schedule. Combine this with friendly staff, nice equipment that is continually upgraded, and competitive pricing and I believe that makes Olympic the best all around gym in the Cowichan Valley area

Expérience fantastique: I went to this gym for a few months, and really enjoyed the experience at this gym. The way the people work with each other (equipment, courtesy and friendliness) were all so wonderful. I was hesitant and afraid to start going to a gym because I was self conscious and thought I’d get embarrassed with others around. Because of the atmosphere Olympic Fitness cultivates and maintains, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience. Gym members helped keep equipment clean, were more than understanding when you needed to work on an equipment they were working on, or just being courteous with questions or confusion. All employees were friendly and easy to approach with questions on how to use a machine or how to best use a machine for your specific target spot. Unfortunately, I moved and can no longer go to this gym. I wish there was one somewhere in Victoria. Amazing gym, incredible staff, fantastic atmosphere of all people focusing on their own needs so it’s a welcoming environment.

Expérience fantastique: Clean and friendly gym with supplement shop & 24 hour access to equipment. The staff and the people who go here are all very nice and welcoming. Good parking and accessible location as well.

Expérience fantastique: Ive been coming to this gym for a year and a half - friendly staff, solid equipment, and great vibes, nice way to get to know people! The TVs are a plus for anyone who is looking to watch sports. My only ask is if Olympic is thinking of adding equipment, PLEASE add the lying hamstring curl machine

Expérience négative: Dishonest Management. Oversold membership. Underhanded business practices.

Expérience fantastique: Good equipment and the best gym in Duncan. Always getting new equipment, it's clean and the staff are great!

Expérience fantastique: My wife and I have been members here for over 3 years and we love this gym. The staff is welcoming, the clientele is friendly, and Joel is continually making improvements to the place. We highly recommend going here!

Expérience fantastique: Well run gym, supportive staff.. Good equipment. Fairly synergetic environment. I worked out at this location long enough to see myself become the villain.

Expérience fantastique: Very busy place, but a good one to attend. Go get your sweat on

Expérience positive: Great friendly staff but I wish they would use paper towel to wipe down the machines instead of reused wet soiled rags. I wish there was hand sanitizer stations as well throughout the gym. I'm not a germophobe but I don't like picking up a wet rag that has other people's sweat on it and then using that to clean the equipment I just used. Also, I wish there was more room to perform floor exercises such as ab workouts. Lots of different machines, some outdated but then some new :)

Expérience fantastique: Best place to workout and the owners are fabulous

Expérience fantastique: Great gym, good equipment, the guys that run the place are awesome… been going here for a few years. It is quite busy these days, but they are planning on expanding, and it’s busy for a reason!

Expérience fantastique: I’ve been to almost every gym in Duncan. This is the best one. The staff is friendly and the gym is always clean :)

Expérience fantastique: This gym is fantastic. very clean And super friendly staff. Lots of different gym equipment Super nice people once u get to know them. Biggest gym in Duncan.

Expérience fantastique: Great place to go and get the hard work done. If you are serious about training and you don't go for the mirror photo ops. Great ownership. Wouldn't go to any other gym.

Expérience fantastique: Fantastic gym! There is a great variety of equipment with plenty of dumbbells and plates. Gym space is a little tight, but it's workable. 24 hour access with a FOB, supplements and proteins for sale, discount on your birthday, friendly staff, great regulars... I cant say enough good things. If I could make one suggestion it would be to improve circulation especially in the evening. After hours the gym gets quite stuffy and moist. But overall five stars and a million times better than the rec center gym. Equipment is also calibrated correctly unlike the rec center.

Expérience fantastique: Great gym

Expérience fantastique: Friendly staff relaxed atmosphere good quality equipment

Expérience fantastique:

Expérience fantastique: Great gym. Never too crowded, friendly staff, all the equipment needed, open stretch area + sanitary wipes. Thank you

Expérience fantastique: Best gym in Duncan. 24 hour access and good equipment selection. Staff and members are really nice and approachable.

Expérience fantastique: Great gym! Super nice people who work there

Expérience fantastique: My daughter lost her precious ring at the gym. The owner very helpful to her. I was very grateful.

Expérience positive: Nice gym but severely over crowded in my opinion...tried a membership several times and just not for me. Attending anytime between 3pm and 8pm expect to wait in line for half of the equipment at least. Found myself having to upgrade to the 24/7 option and going around 11pm. But just was not practical for my schedule.

Expérience fantastique: Friendly people, good equipment. I feel it's the best gym in Duncan

Expérience positive: + Great free weights. + Lot's of great machines to choose from. + Recently expanded. + Air conditioning and dehumidifiers. + 24 hour access. - Some of the machines are inefficient or redundant, wasting space. - The staff aren't always the friendliest. Place can feel kind of cliquey. - Not much room to move around and gets busy. - Stretching area can only fit 2-3 people. - Repetitive music that is played too loud at all times. - High priced supplements. I would prefer to buy them here but I can't justify it. - Men's bathroom is gloomy, has low privacy, and smells bad. - Still no SSB in 2025. - Feels commercialized compared to how it was pre-pandemic. With some culling of underutilized equipment, optimization of layout, increased attention to amenities, some sensory-friendly hours, and maybe a bit of a return to the welcoming and traditional feel of this gym, I would enjoy coming here a lot more.

Expérience positive: The equipment and staff are great however this gym is often overcrowded and there are certain members that just stand around the squat racks for as long as 30 minutes barely using them. They need to move to a larger building to accommodate for the quantity of members as they are way beyond capacity.

Expérience fantastique: By far the best equipment and facilities, very clean. Not only are the staff outstanding, but most of the time fellow members are as well. Everyone is helpful and positive. Definitely the Best Gym in the Cowichan Valley.

Expérience fantastique: Reasonable price, nice gym, awesome staff. Would highly recommend!

Expérience fantastique: In town for a week.10 out of 10.Great equipment,really clean,air conditioned,friendly environment. IT doesnt get any better that this place.If you live in Duncan you're lucky to have this place.Go join.

Expérience positive: The facility seems clean and has lots of good equipment. When I came in to inquire about a membership I didn't get the feeling that they wanted my business. When asking about the facility, hours etc it seemed difficult to get any info from the employee. They did tell me to go look around and handed me a price list as I left. I will go back and look again in a week or so after checking a few other local gyms.

Expérience fantastique: My first time there amazing I have to say

Expérience fantastique: Great place everyone is friendly

Expérience fantastique: Dropped in twice during a temp stay, friendly front desk guy. Well stocked gym, all the equipment works well and is clean.

Expérience positive: Awesome gym! The best in the area. Staff is friendly and helpful! Just need another flat bench press, they only have the one and its always in use, usually by a group of people, and with covid you can't join in for sets. Could use the squat racks for bench press but I feel that's kind of unfair to people wanting to squat. Also, outside safety is of mild concern. The gym is in a sketchy part of town and the parking lot is pitch black at night. I'm constantly worrying about my car getting broken into or something like that. Probably just paranoid but something to consider if you go after hours.

Expérience fantastique: Health and fitness a must

Expérience fantastique: Great gym, lots of experience around to help you out if you have any questions and 24 hours. They also have a supplement store which I highly recommend. Talk with the guys at the front desk about what you are trying to achieve, they won’t try and sell you on stuff you don’t need.

Expérience fantastique: Good facility, friendly staff and owner

Expérience fantastique: I wanted to briefly comment on how well I believe the management of Olympic Fitness have managed the covid situation in terms of excellent customer/member communication and in keeping the club operating in a safe and responsible manner during these challenging times .. well done Bobby,Joel et al...

Expérience fantastique: Perfect size and everything you need for a great workout

Expérience fantastique: Best gym in Duncan! If you're looking for a good atmosphere and friendly people to help you reach your goals then this is the best gym for you.

Expérience fantastique: 100% got my money’s worth! Amazing staff and a very clean and organized facility. I’ve never had a bad experience here.

Expérience positive: Awesome gym! only annoying would be the guy with rebar calves in the ANIMAL shirt with a bad, bad attitude, using 6-8 machines not allowing others on.

Expérience positive: Just been 2 times with my step daughter and it's a real great work ...social distancing is also very important...also get your own towel and spray to wipe down equipment...another plus ...only 15 people at the time another plus...

Expérience fantastique: Olympic Fitness has great equipment. A great selection and well maintained. It is clean. The staff is great. They are very friendly. They are knowledgeable about the supplements they sell. If you any questions about the equipment or you are doing something wrong, they will take the time to help you out. Olympic, has a wild diversity of clientele. It is not just a men's grunt gym,. Women and seniors work out there, as well. The way they have the equipment laid out; it isn't intimidating.

Expérience fantastique: My gym. Nothing but results.

Expérience fantastique: A clean, well equipped gym with amazing staff there! A safe, non intimidating atmosphere.

Expérience fantastique: Great gym and good prices. I really enjoy the free weights here and there are multiple of everything so you dont have to wait often for a free station. I buy a 20 visit punch pass which I use on my days off from my regular gym. Because this is my backup gym, the price per visit is really reasonable. Cant testify to monthly member rate. 24 hour access with use of key fob (extra one time cost) that they let me have even though I just do the punch pass. Only complaint is the club music always playing but theres free wifi so I can drown it out with heavy metal easy enough (not a real complaint)

Expérience fantastique: Good selection of equipment including squat racks and bench press, 24 hour access, reasonably priced

Expérience fantastique: Best gym on the island!! Awesome equipment and a great atmosphere. The cleaning has been amazing!

Expérience fantastique: Nice place to workout

Expérience fantastique: A real gym, leave your excuses at home

Expérience fantastique: Great place

Expérience fantastique: Best gym in town ran by a local family who have been in the cowichan valley for almost 30 years, they are full of information for health and fitness. They also have a full supplement store!

Expérience fantastique: Great place and people! My second home!

Expérience fantastique: Best gym in town
