Fit4Less

This gym needs a lot of updates and leaves a great deal to be desired.Pros: Wide range of equipment.Cons:- Equipment is outdated and breaks down often or has damage.- Gym is not staffed 24/7. As a result, weight plates are commonly left on equipment. Garbage is commonly left on floor and equipment. Equipment is rarely cleaned by gym users and never cleaned by staff.- locker area and washrooms are dirty and messy.- The temperature at this gym is VERY warm. It makes for difficultly working out and has caused me to feel nauseous and has made myself and friends need to cut our workouts short.- I’ve been charged unfair costs due to company policy. When I explained my situation to the owner, she made excuses up and did not refund as a courtesy.- The employees I dealt with were not knowledgeable when I came in asking for help with my account.Overall, I would not recommend this gym and would recommend traveling into Oshawa for better gym options.

This is one of the better fit 4 less locations, they have plenty squat racks, cable machines, dumbbell’s and a variety of machines. Compared to other locations it’s very spacious and clean. Im surprised At all the negative reviews. At the price you pay here your getting so much, definitely a hidden gem

Was very pleased with this fit4less, It has the foundation of a premium gym. Large selection of equipment, a proper black card room, and gym etiquette. I did go around noon so the time is a contributing factor, very clean and nice. I would recommend it.

UPDATE: Mar 3, 2023I'm updating my rating to 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️'s!I have been coming to this gym for 20 years now. With the pandemic behind us, the overall cleanliness and overall membership have improved.NOTE: Management needs to BAN those members who are caught defacing the facility, including the state of the men's change room, where some very unsavory things have taken place. I won't mention it here, but they certainly would NOT leave it on the floor of their shower at home.UPDATE: Jan 2, 2023Things have improved post-pandemic. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️on a couple of fronts.Staffing has increased along with attentiveness to the overall appearance of the gym.Though it would be nice if some members treat the gym like they would their own home in a better fashion; cleanliness.Show some respect to the gym from the attendees. It will encourage the staff to do better.

The equipment is great when the staff get around to maintaining and fixing the broken machines! However there is one particular staff member who is probably the most disrespectful person I’ve ever met! He has no compassion and judges the people working out for absolutely no reason, he is almost always on his phone at the front desk and ignore people walking past as if it is not his job to help them. A friend of mine and I asked to use the massage chairs, unaware they were shut off at 9:30 at a location that was supposed to have services available until 10pm. The staff member looked at us and proceeded to say “yes you can use them!” He was nice at first but his entire demeanour changed and with unnecessary attitude said “ but In the morning. It’s 9:39 at night, they close at 9:30” i completely understand not allowing us to use them as they were shut off but the attitude and the way he looked us was very aggressive and intimidating, and due to that staff member this is not a place I enjoy being anymore!

Probably the worst gym in Bowmanville. Machines are constantly broken, customer service is horrendous and no one is ever at the front desk. If you accidentally leave something in your car and need to go back out and get it, don’t even think about coming back in to workout, you won’t be able to scan your card again for another couple of hours and NO ONE is at the front desk to answer the speaker/buzzer. I would not recommend wasting your money at this gym.

Nice space, lots of natural light. Disappointed that nothing seems to get repaired. When you join there is an expectation you have contract. You commit to pay and they commit to provide services. When those services are not made available there is an expectation that the service will return in a reasonable time frame. When it was Goodlife the maintenance team was on site regularly. Bikes that have been out of order for months. Cables that should have been replaced long before they break takes the equipment out of service. Surely a company the size of Goodlife, and don't forget this is the same owner, has an inventory of bikes they could swap out and take the broken bike back for repair. Also, how can they not have inventory on ready to go cables that can quickly be swapped out.Overall, disappointing which forces customers to consider other options. At this location the Less" in Fit4Less is certainly the level of service we have seen in the past from this location."

The gym itself isn’t bad, depending on the time you go. If you try to go after 3 then good luck. All it consists of is groups of arrogant high school kids that just sit around and socialize and flex and take pictures of themselves in the mirrors. Pretty funny to watch and shake your head it, but makes attempting to work out frustrating. Management at this location is also incredibly rude and unprofessional, and no where to be found (clearly reflecting other reviews). The black card area has been closed for 2 weeks, and when I called to ask how much longer, the kid that works the front desk started giving attitude before just hanging up. Also, instead of offering refunds for an amenity that you can’t even use, their logic was “just drive to Oshawa to work out at the fit4less there”. I’m not driving an extra 25 minutes to work out at an even worse gym that doesn’t even offer a change room.Overall just save your money, and avoid the headache that this poorly run gym will give you.

Possibly the worst customer service by management, and staffing that I have ever experienced. My goods were stolen out of my locker days ago, and I recieved nothing but ignorance, rude backlash, and lack of compassion from a specific employee/management. My goods were later found randomly in the bathroom stall the very next day ironically, and I was banned because I was frustrated that a specific employee did not take matters seriously during the time of the event. I had no car keys, coat, or belongings with me because they were taken from my locker, and the employee did not care and said that it's not his problem. On the clock or off the clock, an illegal matter should be taken seriously when an employee is still lingering onsite. I used specific language f@!^ing i!@t, which resulted in me getting banned. As the vicitm, I feel like I was treated like the perpetrator. I do not recommend that anyone attends this gym due to the lack of compassion/care that their employees offer towards customers. This also is not the first incident, I am sure. I have heard many folk complain about the poor customer service that this gym offers. I, myself will not ever be going back to a fit4less, and I do not recommend anyone takes the risk to sign up at this location. Biggest joke of a location I have ever encountered.

Not a bad setup for a Fit4less. This must have been a Goodlife location before as the equipment is better than most other Fit4less locations.
