VO2Max

I wanted to come and write a review even though I haven't been back since Covid lockdowns. bought home equipment I wanted to give a shout out to staff and owners for being helpful, motivational and friendly. They would always answer questions or come over and correct you if you were doing something improperly. Even if they aren't your trainer they always made time to help. The gym has alot of space with up to date equipment and lots of it. Even though it's been a couple years and I wasn't very social while I was there, the staff and owners still wave and say "hi" if they see me around town. I think that says a lot about a staff and ownership group. Most gyms owners don't recognize their clients. That being said I saw a couple reviews about inclusiveness and racism. In my experience there I never noticed any such thing. There was a multitude of ethnicities and everyone seemed to be treated equal.

Sadly there are many racist members in this gym. Not a place for people of color. Steer Clear, save your dignity!!! I was in this gym for 1 month, I was: 1rudely asked by a one of the members here to not use the equipment. MULTIPLE TIMES! I even mentioned this to one of the coaches but he did nothing. He proceeded to say that I was overreacting and that it was “in my head”. Gaslighting! 2everyone was giving me weird looks and making me feel out of place. People are not very friendly or accommodating here. 3I was asked to “speak English”, probably because of my accent.

I have been lifting weights for many years. I have worked out in gyms all over Canada. But there is no gym that compares to vo2 max. From day one I was welcomed with open arms and treated as an equal. As somone with my ethnic background this is something that is not to common in todays world. The staff are incredible, the coaches are the definition of professional. The community has help push me to become the best version of my self. The facility it’s self is very clean and organized with a open floor plan that has very well thought out. I highly recommend this facility to anyone and everyone!

I have been going to VO2 for ten years. Every time I walk in I feel at home. From the owners to the trainers and administrative staff, everyone is professional and welcoming. The clientele are a cut above the rest. Anyone can walk up to another and have a full 30min conversation. Even if you don't know the person. A quick introduction and you've basically made a new friend. Everyone is there for the same purpose, to improve in some capacity of their life, so it is an extremely motivating place. If you are away from the gym for a while and haven't been seen, people take notice. VO2 goes out of their way to make you feel apart of the family, but they do so without it feeling fake. It is a genuine passion for health and community that the owners and trainers have exemplified and it shows through in their clientele. I have been to many gyms and nothing compares to the level of cleanliness VO2 has. They clean the entire facility three times a day, at a minimum.

Unfortunately I have to say that this gym seems to be filled with a lot of RACIST/PREJUDICED members. I could not believe it when I've overheard some of the Caucasian regulars here so casually using the N-word or calling brown people p-ki. Great equipment but I DO NOT recommend this place, it's not a good place to be if you are not white. And it's no wonder that there are barely any minorities/poc's in this gym.

Been training there for over 10 years, tons of knowledgeable staff, friendly and overall great environment for someone looking to take their fitness seriously. Every walk of life is welcomed and embraced no matter what level you start at. Truly one of a kind facility

Hands down the best gym in town. The people are truly what make this place amazing, it’s such a positive community and culture.

I've been lifting weights for 10 years and never really felt apart of in any of the gyms I entered. V02 is legit the real deal. All the trainers are very knowledgable and easy to work with. The owners are fantastic and great trainers also. Front desk staff and childminding staff all amazing. We are super excited to have made the decision to become members.

Super friendly and knowledgeable coaches, incredible facility. Programming is excellent. Just spent 3 days here visiting and had an amazing experience with these guys. Great all around attention to detail at the gym, complete with spin and yoga classes. Brett’s coaching second to none. Thanks guys!
