West-End Cavendish Athletic Club

The West End Athletic Cavendish Club is a hidden fitness gem. It’s friendly, cozy, clean and well equipped. It’s a safe workout zone for body construction or re-construction projects of all types. I mention safe because during the freak-out height of the pandemic, I was looking for a new gym because I felt mine was not taking enough precautions. The West End gym, when allowed to open, had staff cleaning machines regularly and took all the other measures which made me feel safe, which is why I changed.When I say safe, I am also referring to the varied machines (while not new) they are maintained and cleaned regularly. There are no frayed cables or belts to worry about.The machines are plentiful and there’s enough equipment redundancy that you can adjust on the fly without ruining momentum. It is not a hard core screaming pumper palace, but there is enough free weights and Olympic bars to go old school crazy if that is your thing.When I say cozy, it’s because the gym, while not small, is neither cavernous, just the right size. And while there are lots of machines, I never feel crowded, like someone is right on top of me as I’m training.When I say friendly, the staff are polite and you always get a “have a good workout,” which is nice because I can use all the help I can get. The gym member friendliness is also just right. Kindly hellos and nods, great advice on occasion, provides just enough socializing to motivate but not too much as to hinder your work out. Another bonus is you can learn plenty by watching other people work out, including the trainers.What I like most is that I feel so totally comfortable doing my own thing. I lost 40 pounds at that gym last year, (intermittent fasting had a lot to do with it), and I felt just as comfortable working out pre and post weight loss. The gym is welcoming to all body types and ages, from the ultra fit to the muscular to the just-happy–to-get-a-work-out-done types like me.If you’re considering a change of fitness venue in the New Year, consider a visit to the West End Athletic Cavendish Club to see if it’s right for you too. Have a good work out!

Awesome gym with very clean facilities. Staff is extremely friendly, and the classes are a great bonus. Highly recommended!

West End Cavendish is beautiful and quiet! I love that the staff is so personable and helpful! I’ve worked out at other, more popular gyms and I can absolutely feel the difference. You’re paying for quality and access to clean, well kept machines! I also LOVE that they have a pool and different types of classes! Definitely the best gym I’ve experienced so far!

Great value, homey and warm feel to the place. The management is hands on and lots of choices in equipment, classes and there's even a pool. I highly recommend!

I've been visiting this gym for a very long time. The experience has always been great, friendly atmosphere, welcoming staff, well maintained and clean equipment. I will continue training in WEC and I highly recommend it to anybody who wants to improve their health and performance!

Gotta get with the times and upgrade their system, after all these years they still use old outdated payment systems. It’s a shame and I was very disappointed to have to leave and go sign up for another gym because this gym has potential. Also be careful in the parking lot as the pot holes are over a foot deep.

The staff is great and the gym has everything- many activities to choose from and the gym is fully equipped with high end equipment. Also you never have to wait for a machine even during peak hours because the club is huge and spacious.

Horrible gym, rude and dishonest staff. They state they don't offer" a 30-day trial but it is not their choice. It is YOUR RIGHT. However the rude girl called Marge told me directly that they take 2 payments to make sure you cannot exercise your right. Furthermore it's in their contract and they fail to even understand what it means. Check the Consumer Protection Office to know your rights and recourse against gyms like this. Because they will not tell you or abide by the governing law unless it benefits them. Read your contract!! Know your rights!!"

Hahaha I used to be a member at the old location in CSL shopping center. Not a place for everyone but this iteration of the gym suits me fine. It was Good to see coach Dobri maintaining the culture and integrity of weight training. If you want to accomplish your goals related to strength, or power, or bodybuilding, or rehab you should seek him out.

West end is one of the best gyms I’ve ever been to. I just moved to cote st Luc, and in my search for a gym I wanted something that is better quality and more diversified than other gyms around in the area, and I have happily found it.The equipments is amazing, the place is always clean, and the staff is continuously kind and courteous. Even when I need a spot members are kind to offer it without hesitation. It’s like a community in there and I always feel welcome.
