Fairwinds Wellness Club

Expérience négative: Took off for a weekend at the Fairwinds resort near Nanoose Bay. Not cheap, but we were really loving the unit, the excellent restaurant, and the setting. This morning we went to workout at their gym ("Wellness Centre"), knowing there would be a charge. THIRTY-EIGHT DOLLARS PER PERSON!? We're not cheap, but we're careful. Nowhere on the Fairwinds website is this fee listed. We waited at the front registration desk for several minutes but no employee ever appeared, so we just went in. We could have just walked out without paying, but we're honest folks. Our reward.... ... no apology, multi-page forms to complete, and a bill for $76.

Expérience fantastique: I trained for a full Ironman in the pool here. Staff are amazing (they put a little note out to encourage me on race day)! And the pool will be completely refurbished soon. It's great for swimmers of all levels.

Expérience fantastique: Such a beautiful space! It was heaven to do easy-going laps without the public pool mayhem. Sublime! Linda was also a total gem. Thank you . Loved the sauna and hot tub too. ‍♂️

Expérience positive: Great aquacize classes, expensive though.

Expérience positive: Really nice facility with a nice setting, clean equipment, and relaxed atmosphere.

Expérience positive: They are now asking for 250. before getting a membership. The money will be used for improvement of the facility. They ask up to 150. per month for membership, which is quite high compared to other facilities.

Expérience fantastique: Great atmosphere - great staff. A real pleasure to attend even through these most difficult times.

Expérience fantastique: Amazing facilities and staff make sure to keep it very clean and organized! :)

Expérience fantastique: Nice place, I tried the sauna for the first time at it was pretty nice. I like the heat if you like the sun you should try it.

Expérience fantastique: Staff are friendly, real and caring. The facilities are well maintained and it feels like hanging out at a resort. Very welcoming environment and the tea selection, rocks.

Expérience positive: Small facility mostly used by locals

Expérience fantastique: Great classes, lovely pool, and gymnasium hosts many classes plus drop in recreational and competitive pickleball. We are trying to get volleyball on the schedule. The Yoga, spin class, fitness classes and aquacize all have amazing teachers. Haven't used the tennis or hiking trails but the setting is beautiful and well maintained.

Expérience fantastique: Great facility and typically not too busy.

Expérience positive: They've got decent equipment, but oddly places between two rooms. It's too bad you have to purchase a membership instead of dropping in.
