Beyond Fitness

Expérience fantastique: I have been going to Sarah-Jane’s Beyond Fitness for over 2 years now. It is an amazing environment to train in, with top notch equipment, well-trained staff and a positive, fun vibe. My trainer Aditya is outstanding! He is very knowledgeable, supportive and focused. He always comes to our sessions prepared with a new and challenging routine, and pushes me to better my ‘standard’. I also appreciate his willingness to teach and share his upto date knowledge of health and wellness. Thank you Aditya and Sarah-Jane.

Expérience fantastique: I’ve been going to Beyond Fitness for about 3 months now, working primarily with Kelly and Aditya. The gym is very welcoming and never feels overcrowded. I like the diverse clientele and that there are lots of other women my age that train there. I really enjoy working with both Aditya and Kelly and look forward to my sessions. I am also really pleased with how much stronger I feel, and how much less my joints hurt.

Expérience fantastique: Beyond Fitness is an excellent gym no matter what your goals are; the trainers are excellent at tailoring the work out to each clients needs. I have been so pleased with the progress that I have experienced in the last year, I can’t recommend Beyond Fitness enough.

Expérience fantastique: I started at Beyond Fitness a little over a year ago. It has made a tremendous difference to my physical and mental health. Even though my schedule only permits me to get in once a week it is enough to keep me honest and consistent as well as motivated to do more home workouts in my other days so that I see improvement in the gym. I usually see the same trainer every time but have occasionally had others fill in. Everyone I've worked with has been friendly, encouraging, and the right level of pushing for my abilities. Sarah-Jane does an amazing job bringing in the right people and having a wide variety of high quality equipment. I'm currently working with Aditya who has put in so much extra work to build me a home based program to further develop my strength, conditioning and flexibility, all things I need given my office work life. He is incredibly knowledgeable and really focuses on proper form and technique and building a plan suited to my personal goals. I highly encourage anyone considering it to give it a go.

Expérience fantastique: At 74, I found this the best gym for developing and maintaining functional fitness going forward. Aditya is a very knowledgeable and patient trainer, who encourages me to go "beyond" each session. Highly recommend!

Expérience fantastique: Great gym, very accommodating for disabilities.

Expérience fantastique: Coming up on 1 year of training with SJ and for the first time can actually say I love going to 'the gym'. After getting to the age of needing more regular body maintenance, I needed to add another activity into the weekly routine aside from cycling and trail running. When I started training at Beyond, couldn't do proper sit-ups and got killed on the assault bike. When the summer hit, sit-ups were no problem and I graduated from the assault bike to the ski-erg and I can't get enough of that thing! Instead of dropping the extra weight that I had when I first started, turned it into muscle and I'm looking to add another day during the week. Already looking forward to next years' review to see where I'm at pull-up wise (posting it here...10 straight by end of January seems like a good target?). That's the biggest takeaway for me, for a non goal-oriented personality. SJ has the great ability to get you motivated with achievable goals so that you want to show up every week.

Expérience fantastique: A clean and we'll appointed gym. Personal trainers are friendly, well trained and conscientious. Workouts are designed to suit your needs. I highly recommend Beyond Fitness.

Expérience fantastique: Sarah-Jane and the trainers at Beyond Fitness have been incredible for me in my fitness journey. I’m a woman in my 40s, I’ve never been a particular fan of gym workouts (more an outdoor bootcamper, runner) but ever since I joined 9 months ago I have felt challenged, the workouts are always unique, varied and interesting and I’ve seen results. I’m stronger, more toned and I love the time I spend each week training at Beyond Fitness. Sarah-Jane is a lovely human, she’s incredibly knowledgeable, warm and positive. She knows when to push me to the next level and I love her energy. All the trainers are amazing! I literally cannot recommend Beyond Fitness enough. The community of people who I see training in the gym are as inspiring as the trainers themselves. People of all ages crushing it and proving that fitness can be something to embrace at any age. If you’re looking for 1:1 personal training with excellent trainers, small group training, totally personalized service tailored to your fitness goals and just an amazing fitness community this is your place.

Expérience fantastique: I can’t rave enough about Beyond Fitness and SJ in particular. My sister and I have been working out with SJ for 9 months now and every session is such an awesome challenge. She’s a great coach, very supportive and understanding, super knowledgeable and adapts the workouts to each person’s individual needs. We’ve had an opportunity to work out with a number of other trainers there as well and no matter who the trainer is we always come away feeling challenged but still laughing and smiling. My sessions are a highlight of my week. The gym itself is clean and spacious with a wide range of equipment. Do yourselves a favour a book a training session at this gym - you won’t regret it!

Expérience fantastique: Training at Beyond Fitness has been positively life changing! Sarah-Jane's gym is extremely well equipped, and there's always a positive, energetic and supportive vibe amongst all the trainers. Spencer is a brilliant trainer. I'm so happy with my progression over the past four months and look forward to building more strength, balance and flexibility. Our training sessions are always different, and the hour flies by. Beyond Fitness is beyond amazing.

Expérience fantastique: I have never been a gym person and was nervous to try something new. I would totally recommend Beyond Fitness! Yemi has been an awesome trainer! He is great about sharing his knowledge and explaining everything we’re doing and working on. I have learned so much and grown in strength and confidence.

Expérience fantastique: I have been going to Scott Sparrow, at Beyond Fitness…coach extraordinare for approx 2 months. During that time he has been successful in reducing pain in knees and hips and strengthen my body! He is so knowledgeable about the body, explaining why and how my body works. With a kinesiology and physiotherapy degrees he knows what works to strengthen my core, glutes, thighs …basically my whole body and has given me a new lease on life!

Expérience positive: Alex’ expertise in how the body works is evident, as was his ability to explain various concepts. His willingness to engage me, answer questions, and his ability to adapt the training to meet my specific needs while maintaining professionalism was appreciated. I feel more confident & prepared as a result of his training & look forward to build on what I have learned. I would not hesitate to recommend Alex to anyone seeking to strengthen their body, and/or to increase their flexibility & mobility

Expérience fantastique: Five stars for personal and individual training sessions! A great gym with a wide variety of equipment! Professional and experienced Trainers! I was specifically matched with my trainer Alex who I can’t say enough good things about! He constantly checked in with me to make sure my expectations and goals were being met! He changes the exercises often and pushes me just the right amount! I look forward to going because he makes interesting and challenging! Plus he’s a great person in general! Thank you Alex! I highly recommend Beyond Fitness!

Expérience fantastique: It took me a long time to find a trainer who understood the needs of an aging person! I feel fortunate to have found Dezerai who is a superb trainer and a kinesiologist. Working out with her has made me stronger both physically and mentally. She has helped me set realistic and achievable goals. I have more confidence in my abilities which is a gift.

Expérience fantastique: I can't recommend Beyond Fitness, and the owner, Sarah-Jane, enough. I have been training with Sarah-Jane for several months and I am finally reaching my fitness goals, thanks to her. She is extremely knowledgeable and applies a holistic approach to health and fitness. I walk away from every training session feeling stronger and more informed. She is kind and fun and training doesn't seem like work with her. Feeling comfortable with a trainer is huge for me and she has a knack for making me feel accepted as I am, while pushing me to work hard and test my limits in a safe way. This is the best investment I have made in a long time. You won't be disappointed!

Expérience fantastique: The best gym in Victoria! The owner is lovely and if I could give 10 stars I would! Beyond Fitness is an amazing environment to train and there is no judgement whatsoever. If you want the best personal training in Victoria go to Beyond Fitness!

Expérience fantastique: My wife and I have been training with Laurence at Beyond Fitness. The facility is extremely clean and contains all the equipment you’ll need for a great workout. Laurence is a kinesiologist in addition to being a personal trainer, and he has a comprehensive understanding of the science behind the various exercises he prescribes. We are very happy to recommend him and Beyond Fitness.

Expérience fantastique: Laurence’s kinesiology knowledge alongside his athletic background make him an outstanding personal trainer—the perfect combination of knowledgeable and get-the-job-done. He has created a flexible program where each workout is both interesting and demanding. Two months in and I've already surpassed my goals for building function, strength, capacity, and balance. Highly recommend!!

Expérience fantastique: This is one of the nicest, well equipped gyms on the Island. There is a great assortment of equipment, all in pristine condition. The bathrooms are very nice and the entire gym is spotless and well maintained.

Expérience fantastique: Finding beyond fitness to work on getting in shape was a gift. Sarah Jane’s attitude for fitness welcomes all levels and goals. She is a great person and a real professional, which reflects in the quality of the facility and the quality of her trainers. I’ve always looked forward to my workouts at BF, which hasn’t been the case at other gyms.

Expérience fantastique: This is my first experience at a Personal Training gym but it really is worth it. The gym itself is of the highest quality in terms of equipment & atmosphere. I never experienced a situation where it was too busy so you can be sure you'll have the chance to use any equipment throughout your training plan. I had the pleasure to work with 3 different trainers & each of them taught me plenty, pushed me further than I expected of myself, and were extremely supportive along the way. If you're looking for a PT-only gym, I highly recommend Beyond Fitness!

Expérience fantastique: I'll admit I was a little intimidated by the Beyond Fitness website.  The profiles showed trainers who are all extremely fit, and while I am very physically active, I find gyms intimidating by nature and wondered if I was fit enough to fit in.  However, within minutes of arriving at the gym and interacting with Sarah-Jane and her staff I knew I had no reason to worry.  Beyond Fitness is the most welcoming, inclusive, relaxed and well organized gym I've ever been to.  Clients and staff are friendly, and the space itself is beautiful -- clean, spacious and full of top of the line equipment.  The programming is also incredible -- physically challenging (but tailored to each client and where they are in their fitness journey), mentally stimulating, and a tonne of fun.  I always leave feeling better than when I came in.  I cannot recommend Beyond Fitness enough!

Expérience fantastique: A phenomenal personal training experience. Passionate, knowledgeable, great equipment, friendly and fun. Strongly recommended!

Expérience fantastique: After researching "best gym in Victoria BC", and reading all the reviews, Beyond Fitness was a clear-cut winner for me. I was looking to kickstart my fitness routine after many (many many) years , and knew that having 1-on-1 time with a personal trainer was the only way it was going to happen. I have been lucky enough to be trained by owner Sarah-Jane Chilton, who is the most positive, creative, supportive trainer I could imagine. She is a genius at creating sessions that are challenging and fun, and she is able to tweak things according to any physical issues I might be having that day if need be! I've been there for about two months now, and it is easily the best gym I've belonged to. All the members are happy to be there, and super friendly. The equipment is top-notch, and the cleanliness is a 10/10. And there is free parking! Which was a big drawcard, as paid parking adds up downtown, where I had been looking. (Added bonus: there is also an amazing cafe/deli called The Fig Deli in the same complex, and a great thrift store too.) My gym sessions are such an important part of my week now, and I've never felt more excited to see how far I can push my body as I get older, with Sarah Jane guiding me! If you're looking for a gym where you will be treated like a valuable member of the community, be guaranteed a solid workout, and feel supported in where you are now and where you want to go, this is it!

Expérience fantastique: My experience with Sarah-Jane and her staff @Beyond has been an amazing time. Sarah-Jane taught me how to get the results I was seeking physically in a very safe and efficient way. I have spent more than half of my life training with top level athletes or martial artists, and this training changed my life in a very good way. She showed me how to get results and not injure myself. What better investment is there to make than into one's own vehicle ( body ) !!! Love you guys !!

Expérience fantastique: At the age of 74, years of regular (3/week, each up to 3000m) lap swimming has not been enough to prevent the usual age-related decline in muscle mass (called sarcopenia). I wanted to add resistance exercise to maintain strength and improve balance, since falls are an increasing risk as we get older. I have tried PISE, 5 different Recreation Centre Gyms, and introductory individual training at three of those. Checking out other facilities online, I came across Beyond Fitness and dropped by for a look. It has a convenient location, usually ample free parking, and clean well-maintained equipment and facilities. Sarah-Jane is a remarkable trainer and I have had good experiences with two of the other trainers, when she was unavailable. The floor plan is well laid out and the trainers can build an individualized program, synchronized with other users, so there is no waiting for a machine to be available. The atmosphere is pleasant and friendly, with the clients appearing clearly motivated to improve their health and fitness. I look forward to the twice weekly workouts and marvel at how Sarah-Jane keeps it interesting with variety and encourages me to steadily work on improvements, while monitoring body mechanics to avoid injury. She has an InBody body composition analyzer and a recent re-test confirmed that in 3 months it has been possible to rebuild muscle mass and reduce fat content. Following a Whole Food, Plant-Based Diet has worked well in promoting resilient recovery after a workout. No supplements used except creatine. Thanks so much to the team at Beyond Fitness for providing such an excellent fitness training facility!

Expérience fantastique: Beyond Fitness actually earns 10 out of 5 stars. I’ve worked out my whole adult life, but I’ve never been in better shape since I started training with Sarah-Jane. There is absolutely no ego in this gym they accept everyone at any fitness level. Making an investment in your self is actually priceless when you seeing results. All the trainers are professional, knowledgeable, accommodating, and make sure to challenge you in ways you never thought possible. Highly recommend Beyond Fitness.

Expérience fantastique: Really enjoyable experience with a constant supply of varied exercises that’s helped me take some steps to gain back some fitness and provide motivation to succeed.

Expérience fantastique: This is the type of fitness facility I was looking for when I first came to Victoria years ago and couldn’t find! Coming out of the pandemic I was looking for a place that could get me back in shape - with an emphasis on functional fitness. Sarah-Jane has created a terrific facility and has great trainers. She understood what I was looking for and matched me with a great trainer. Nicky has challenged me and ensures the exercises I do are appropriate for how I’m feeling that day and my particular issues. I work more in one hour than I would do in two hours on my own and come away tired but inspired. I also appreciate that every body type and fitness level are accommodated and I don’t feel out of place. The staff and clients are all supportive and I actually look forward to going! If you want to make an investment in yourself this is a great place to do that!

Expérience fantastique: I've been training here since Jan 2021, and started bringing my partner with me for couple's training in Dec 2021. I love training here! It's a very relaxed training gym with a great assortment of equipment, and really friendly trainers. We love Sarah-Jane, and highly recommend Beyond Fitness!

Expérience fantastique: Professional staff, clean facility with exceptional Covid-19 Protocols.

Expérience fantastique: I joined Beyond Fitness a couple of months ago, I have always been a gym person but never on this level! Sarah Jane is AMAZING!! She is very professional, knowledgeable and caring. She creates a new unique program to fit ones individual needs! I’m always greeted with a warm happy welcome from all the staff.The environment is sparkly clean with excellent equipment. Personal training is an amazing way to go to get the results you need/want to push you a little harder out of that comfort zone. Best part of my week hands down. Addicted! LOVE Beyond Fitness.

Expérience fantastique: This gym means so much to me for many reasons. From the moment you walk in you are welcomed into a friendly, motivating, and clean environment by an amazing community. The trainers are all knowledgeable and always willing to help and support their clients, and Sarah-Jane is an incredible gym owner and trainer who goes out of her way to ensure that clients get the best possible experience at her gym! This gym is for anyone, beginner or expert, who wants efficient, challenging, and enjoyable workouts in a high-end facility. There is a large variety of equipment to give you the best session, from functional training to bodybuilding to rehabilitation. And on top of that, there is a wonderful community of people who support one another. You will walk out of every session with a sweaty smile (: Couldn't recommend enough!

Expérience positive: Great workout, great team.

Expérience fantastique: I love it!! Such unique, exclusive, high caliber facility. Sarah-Jane, owner, is extraordinary, Beyond Fitness Victoria is one of a kind...

Expérience fantastique: I always feel welcome as soon as I step into Beyond Fitness. The atmosphere the owner and staff create for you, builds and encourages you to succeed with your personal goals. The equipment chosen for the space is very thoughtful and strategic, which offers a higher level of service and commitment to clients. Stop standing still or idle, stop procrastinating, let the owner and staff at Beyond Fitness help you with your fitness journey. Thank you, Beyond Fitness, for being awesome!

Expérience fantastique: Fantastic space with wonderful people, and committed to safety and transparency. I've been seeing Sarah Jane for a couple weeks now and she has been awesome; she pushes me hard and makes sure we are having fun! Great schedule flexibility and a reasonable rate as well. Absolutely would recommend Beyond Fitness and Sarah Jane to anyone who is looking for a great personal training experience.

Expérience fantastique: We absolutely love Beyond Fitness! My teenage sons and I have been going there for a while now. They are extremely professional, engaging, and fun! The gym has everything one needs to get in shape/get in better shape with a whole lot of cool equipment that makes it impossible for you to get bored. The owners and the trainers are amazing, and I am extremely grateful for all the amazing support everyone at the gym has given us these past few months. You cannot go wrong if you decide to go there, trust me!

Expérience fantastique: This place welcomed me with open arms when I called and stated I've never had personal training and I haven't worked out for 3 months. I was set up with Sarah Jane and she made a flexible training schedule with me and fit my budget. She pushes me harder than I could push myself. If you have thought personal training isn't for you due to confidence, ability or money, reconsider! And come here :)

Expérience fantastique: 4 months ago, I couldn't walk a block and a half. I couldn't believe things had gotten away from me so bad. 37 years old, 355lbs, and it felt like I was going to lose my mobility at any moment. I was so scared. When I met with Sarah - Jane and the staff, it took everything I had to walk in. It wasn't all rainbows, but it wasn't judgemental. I've managed everything in my life, except my health. And I was more scared of judgement than I was of losing my mobility. And I was scared they (nor anyone) could help a critical case like me. The last four months have been nothing short of a dramatic partnership. I'm moving. I'm not scared. I DO feel judged when I'm working out, sometimes, but that's MY stuff. You know who helps me through that? My trainer. It's not cheerleading, it's support while I'm little and learning. While I'm new to this. I get support for stretches and activities for when I'm away from the gym. I get support with my food so that I'm not fad dieting. I have experts in my life, I don't have to discern right from wrong on the internet. I don't have to figure anything out. I used to hate trying gyms and trainers and diets and exercises... Invest in yourself. It's hard and scary, but you're worth it, RIGHT NOW. Before you have even lifted a finger. You're worth it. I'm still learning how to trust myself, my health and my body. But I trust this club. I'm running stairs. I'm functionally fit. I have a growing victory list. And I'm worth it, I learned that at Beyond Fitness. From the bottom of my heart, please believe me, and get into a partnership on your health with this club. I

Expérience fantastique: This is a fantastic gym, the trainers are incredibly knowledgable and supportive and the facility and equipment are top of the line. My workouts here are the most challenging and the most rewarding I've ever done, and I cannot recommend Sarah-Jane and the Beyond Fitness team enough.

Expérience fantastique: It’s always superb. The best equipment an environment in Victoria if your an aspiring athlete!

Expérience fantastique: Immaculately clean, very well equipped, friendly and deeply knowledgeable trainers. What else could one want or need in a gym?! Plus, convenient and free parking. The owner (also one of the trainers) Sarah-Jane, is very passionate about fitness and it shows-it's a very motivating and welcoming space. They also seem to have a trainer to suit everyone's individual needs/goals/styles. If you're in the market for a space to train-especially during Covid restrictions, I would consider Beyond Fitness first.

Expérience fantastique: High-caliber gym run by extremely knowledgeable and friendly people. Options, equipment and trainers capable of working with elite athletes to Weekend warriors to people just starting their journey to become healthier and happier version of themself. I will continue to refer friends and family here.

Expérience fantastique: Best gym ever! It's clean, amazing equipment and the owner is absolutely fantastic. 10 out 10 all around.

Expérience fantastique: I am no athlete, but I like being active and did not want to be limited in what I can do because of pain or a general lack of conditioning. Beyond Fitness offers a boutique, individualized gym experience, which is exactly what I needed. As a trainer, Sarah Jane is so positive, encouraging, and attentive, making adjustments here and there to ensure I'm working out at an appropriate intensity. She has created a program for me that targets my weak areas (there are many) in a way that supports the activities I already enjoy doing. And each week offers something different, which means I never grow bored of the routine. I always look forward to my weekly sessions with SJ!

Expérience fantastique: This was my first foray into personal training, after meeting with the owner/operator Sarah-Jane and talking about what my goals were I felt inspired and excited to begin. The gym environment that Sarah-Jane has put together is intimate enough to feel you are getting a personalized session but it has all the top notch equipment you could ask for. Cait my trainer was amazing, I really felt I was in good hands and she always tailored my workouts to how I was doing physically, she always made herself aware of any issues. If you are looking for the perfect place to begin your journey to better health and fitness, I highly recommend starting here. From the facility, to the business, to the people working there, every part of the experience is positive and supportive!

Expérience fantastique: I have had personal training, and been to many gyms in the past. Beyond Fitness and Sarah-Jane Chilton are by far the best personal training experience I have ever had! She brings enthusiasm and expertise to every session and I’ve brought my fitness to another level. The space is beautiful and equipped with functional training machines that help make every session unique. I would highly recommend Beyond to anyone looking for personal training services!

Expérience négative: It was good at first but some Trainers can't deal with clients with Mental Health Problems.

Expérience fantastique: This place welcomed me with open arms when I called and stated I've never had personal training and I haven't worked out for 3 months. I was set up with Sarah Jane and she made a flexible training schedule with me and fit my budget. She pushes me harder than I could push myself. If you have thought personal training isn't for you due to confidence, ability or money, reconsider! And come here :)

Expérience négative: Attempted to call this business many times - no one ever picks up the phone.

Expérience fantastique: Beyond Fitness is a beautiful private gym with a wide variety of top-notch equipment. This is more than just an average gym. It’s impossible to not catch the positive vibes at fills it! The exceptional trainers are passionate about fitness & health and deeply care for their clients. My favourite gym to train out of, hands down!!

Expérience fantastique: Great place to work!! Worth all the initial uncertainty and stress associated with starting your own business.

Expérience fantastique: Not only has this been a great place for me to train my clients, Lee has helped my grow my personal training business. If you're considering starting your own PT business I highly recommend starting here.

Expérience fantastique: I LOVE this gym! And I love the people and trainers - all super inspiring! It's Sunday night, and already can't wait for the new week to start so I can get back! If you're looking to meet your next challenge - whether that's finding yourself again, or meeting a new personal best, this is the place!

Expérience fantastique: My husband and I just started getting athletic therapy here, and it's amazing! Beautiful facility, friendly and uplifting atmosphere, and wonderful humans. Chantelle is inspiring, thorough, and excellent at her job. If you want a great program tailored to your needs, especially if you have injuries or are struggling to get back into fitness, this is the place to be!

Expérience fantastique: Beyond Fitness has a great feel to it. It’s clean and organized with Good attention to detail. The staff are very welcoming and of course very knowledgeable. It feels good to work out there. Looking forward to my next work out.

Expérience fantastique: I started working out with Sarah Jane at Beyond Fitness last month and love it. I am very impressed with the level of knowledge and professionalism of the trainers, and the equipment, set up and cleanliness of the facility. 100% Recommend!

Expérience fantastique: Such an amazing gym! Trainers are super friendly and inspiring as well as professional and focussed. I am pretty out of shape since having my son 3 years ago. They were meticulous in my assessment and building me a program that meets me where I am in my fitness today with the stepping stones and support to get me where I want to be. So glad I took the plunge and incredibly excited to be on this journey to get strong and healthy with an amazing team! Oh and the facility is gorgeous - great equipment, clean, and perfect amenities :)

Expérience fantastique: Been seeing Jamie about my shoulder for a couple months and can honestly say he knows his stuff. He's Extremely knowledgable and thorough in his craft. The studio has everything you need from rehab needs to getting back into fitness! Would recommend this place to anyone!

Expérience fantastique: Amazing and unique gym! Best personal training I have ever had. I am in the best shape I have ever been in and I credit that to my trainer’s diverse programming, positive attitude and never give up mentality. I love Beyond Fitness!

Expérience fantastique: The staff are so inspiring!!! I Sm out of shape and they made me feel welcome and optimistic about my future fitness. They made me feel everything is possible . Reasonable prices for the services provided!!
