"The Gym on Fennell is an extremely clean, unique, and intimate gym experience"
"This gym is very clean, the equipment is fairly new and generally in good working order and the unisex change room serves its purpose with convenient lock and key provided"
"Agree with my friend Dalton"
"This gym is amazing!! I've only been a member for a short time but from the moment I walked in I fell in love with the atmosphere of this beautiful gym"
"Absolutely love this gym, I intended to sign up for a few short months while my CrossFit gym was shut down and as it happens I never left! It’s just too good working out here"
The Gym on Fennell is an extremely clean, unique, and intimate gym experience. I cannot emphasize the cleanliness of this gym enough... Between guests required to wear indoor shoes only, everybody wiping equipment after use and staff constantly sweeping / mopping it is by far the cleanest gym I've ever attended. Another huge plus is that even during peak hours the gym never feels crowded or overwhelming at all. They have all the equipment you need to target any muscle you want, as well as offering a yoga / warm up / body weight workout room. The Gym on Fennell also offers some of the best treadmill / stationary bike / rowing machines I’ve come across, with them offering custom renderings of you on a track to make the workout more immersive, or straight 1on1 videos of a trainer motivating you. The changing area and showers are always well kept and tidy. All of the staff are extremely friendly and knowledgeable on any fitness / nutrition questions you may have, especially Sean! The hydro massage tables they offer are a game changer after a hard workout. The gym on Fennell is definitely worth a look at, especially if you despise the crowd and ambience of big box store gyms, which I know I do!
This gym is very clean, the equipment is fairly new and generally in good working order and the unisex change room serves its purpose with convenient lock and key provided. It is typically empty in the evenings when I go which is great for the availability of machines. What keeps me from giving it five stars is a few missing key pieces of equipment/weights that most gyms carry. In particular, stand alone squat racks and bench/incline press stations (they only have 2 smith machine stations), and stand alone barbells or a barbell rack. I also find the stretch room insufficiently small and more than 2 people at a time prevents the ability to jump rope or do movements that require space. I also find the membership price all over the place based on what the comments say ($45? $50?), I currently pay $62 monthly so not sure where this stands with others. Overall I would say it's decent value for money and located in a good spot with convenient access to parking. It's 24/7 availability and open on Holidays is also a bonus. I agree with the 4.6 rating it has online, and I wouldn't go lower or higher.
Agree with my friend Dalton. Signed up back in July 2022, and have been a consistent Gym On Fennell go-er ever since. The staff I've acquainted myself with so far such as Sean, Ben, and Adriana are all chill and very diligent. Some even work to extremely late hours to accommodate the 24/7-ness of the gym. The members who've culminated here all have similarly friendly mindsets and have helped me a lot too. All of this happened to someone who's not that extroverted either. It's really that comfortable here. Because members are limited and entry is by card access, even heading into the gym makes you feel like someone heading into a special, secret organization, lol. That's something I unexpectedly found motivating me to stop by even more. For the first gym I've ever been to, I can't be happier to know the closest gym to my home turned out to be the most perfect one. I look forward to gaining more memories in this place, and bringing my sister back here to get in shape next year too!
This gym is amazing!! I've only been a member for a short time but from the moment I walked in I fell in love with the atmosphere of this beautiful gym. I had an appointment for a tour with Ben, he was beyond kind, very friendly, made me feel welcome, gave me a tour and went over all the equipment and different areas of the gym. I highly recommend spending some time with Ben. He was amazing!! Ben also introduced me to a trainer Jacqueline. I got to spend an hour with her, and was blown away with her knowledge, her compassion, patience and understanding to my health and fitness goals. It was a life changing hour and im truly thankful to her and Ben for helping me get started and making me feel so welcome. All the staff has been super friendly and I've been having the best workouts I've ever had. Im in love with this gym and would highly recommend checking it out. Thanks so much to the staff at Gym on fennell !
Absolutely love this gym, I intended to sign up for a few short months while my CrossFit gym was shut down and as it happens I never left! It’s just too good working out here. The gym is beautiful, quiet, and you never need to wait for a machine. The ownership is always looking critically at the equipment on the floor to switch it up for clients - if a machine is very popular or is not used very much changes are made quickly to ensure that clients have what they need and love to workout with. The staff is fantastic, Sean has coached me 1 on 1 and given me great general tips to get the most out the time I put in at the gym. I particular enjoy the wellness room here, you can get really great data on your progress and body composition at a fraction of the cost you would spend getting this information via a registered dietician or clinic. Really thankful I stumbled across this little gem!
i have been a member of The Gym On Fennel for almost 4 months. the managers and staff are always ready to help anyone!! if you need help with a workout routine, like i did, when i first started weight training, the personal trainers were very knowledgeable. i go to the gym 6 days a week, as that`s what one needs to do to allow the body to recover from a week lighting weights!! i like to think of Pete and Stefan as friends, and go to them when ever need to know how to operate some of the machines i use for my weight training. another thing i love about The Gym On Fennel, is the privacy the gym offers from being a members only gym. i`ve never felt more secure in an environment such as The Gym On Fennel!!
Excellent gym. I have had memberships at many gyms over the last 23 years and this one is quite different and I love it. It is very clean, well maintained and it is not over crowded. On top of that there is plenty of parking and it is actually 24/7 (not sorta 24/7 like other places). The only thing that stops me from giving it 5 stars is that the music they play is oldies rock. I wish they would play more modern and higher energy music but I just bring my earbuds and play my own music on Spotify. Besides the music it is a great gym! EDIT: I bumped my review up to 5 stars because they play much better music now and they keep improving the equipment!
Update - they brought in a free bar!! Fantastic gym, been there a week so far and it’s never busy. ‘Busy’ is somewhere around 12 people, which, if you’ve been to Goodlife or 5star it really isn’t much. Extremely clean and well kept with tons of equipment. I love that they have a Peloton too! Other members are respectful and wipe everything down after use as well. Would’ve given 5 stars but my biggest complaint is they don’t have a barbell, which I understand is likely because it’s a 24/7 gym and staff may not be around after hours in case of injury. Overall one of the nicest gyms I’ve been to!
I attended this wonderful location for about a year during the corvid pandemic, and the times it was allowed to open - i had no complaints whatsoever. Price was fair ($45-60) for 24h access, good security, because of my hectic work period i only ever visited the gym very early in the morning or really late in the evening (11pm onwards), but no matter the time - place was immaculate. Sanitation wipes readily available and night time crew cleanup (even as late as 1am!). No free-form bars! but don't let that deter you, as the machines there still allow for a good workout. Will certainly be back!
This gym is being managed by someone name Sean, he brings so much more than just knowledge, his energy, his motivation and Wise knowledge for the human body and mind. Thank you Sir for making me BETTER. To be completely honest, I have been training in gyms for 15 years and I’ve never been happy to pay for my membership, except, at the fennell gym. I am extremely happy to continue paying and to continue being a member. professional environment, extremely clean equipment, friendly staff and trainers. Thank you. See you SOON
I was a member here, Yes they have lot of machines and it’s nice because it’s open 24 hours. But they never told on the day when I started about i need to have 30 days notice for cancelation or do pause. And once i called and told to pause my membership but they don’t and they don’t said anything, just say ok but still money gone from my account and when i asked they said you need to call us before one month minimum but why they don’t said on the day when i called before. But Finally a month before it canceled. Thank god.
This gym has always felt like a 2nd home. The staff is very friendly and the facility is always clean and well kept. They have some unique equipment that you don't see in too many gyms so you can switch things up or keep it fun and exciting. The look and vibe of the gym has always felt like a big hug, something you really don't get from most big box commercial gyms. I would 10/10 recommend this gym to anyone who wants a great gym to stay focused and to feel a sense of community while they're accomplishing their goals.
I've spent the better part of 20 years going to various gyms from here (hamilton) to British Columbia. This gym thinks outside the box. With limited membership the gym is never packed full, the staff are amazing and clearly the owner knows and understands fitness and quality as all of their equipment is top notch. The trainers are very qualified and the gym staff keeps the place spotless. It's like going to the gym in a very fancy loft. This gym is next level and I 100% recommend it!
Recently joined and loving everything about this gym. It’s very well equipped, really clean and has amazing staff! I appreciate being able to ask questions and not feeling like a burden. The place feels very judgment free and everyone goes with the purpose to be better. Sean is a good guy who has your best interest in mind. Hydro massage beds are pretty great, Especially for $15 a month. Definitely a top notch place to join and have already got my fiancé on board as well.
Just joined up last night. Bruce stuck around after his shift ended to accomodate me and my schedule, which was extremely nice of him. The club itself is immaculate. Beautiful hardwood floors and brick walls like a Manhattan style loft. State of the art equiptment that is kept in top condition, and limitations on memberships so you're never stuck waiting around for a machine. Shout out to Ben as well for answering my emails so promptly!
Great gym. Clean, well maintained equipment and a good variety of machines and free weights. Staff are very friendly, helpful and welcoming. The other gym users are respectful and friendly as well. I had some personal training sessions with Sean and it was a good experience. He works with you to achieve your goals, recognizes your limits and pushes you to work hard. He also taught me some boxing basics which was fun and a great workout.
Love the atmosphere in this gym!! I like to keep my workouts fresh. I enjoy the variety of equipment including the stretching room. Pete is very knowledgeable with demonstrating exercises to prevent injury while still building muscle to support the body. He is always supportive of his members goals. I have not had a chance to meet all his staff but they seem very friendly and encouraging when I see them training other members.
No expense has been spared in the equipment and decor of this gym. As seniors, my husband and are so impressed with the professionalism, friendliness, and encouragement of all the staff we have met. Our trainer, Matias, is outstanding. He provides us with programs geared to each of us and our needs and always offers positive suggestions. From the owner, to Sean, and all the employees we can only say thank you and - kudos!
I have been to at least half a dozen gyms over the past 10 years and this is without a doubt the best one in terms of equipment, cleanliness, and professional staff. A good variety of cardio equipment including treadmills, ergs, and a peloton. Everyone is respectful of covid precautions, and I often the have place almost to myself...the beauty of going late at night to a 24/7 gym. Highly recommend the gym on fennel!
Just signed up!! I've worked out for almost 20 years and this is one of the most beautiful gyms I have been too. Wonderful staff and a wonderful facility. Been going since November 2021. Still a wonderful facility. I did go around 7:30 PM tonight and it was busy to the point where I had to modify my workout and wait for specific machines (first time I experienced this). Most other times have been great.
My partner uses this gym. I was with her when she signed up and got the tour. Well maintained, clean, very professional. Additional amenities beyond just the machines and weights. 24/7 access is a bonus. The proprietor was friendly, informative, and seemed knowledgeable. His energy and motivation were great in helping her get back into her routine after some health issues.
I have never been a gym enthusiast and honestly did not expect to enjoy it at all. This gym made all the difference. The modern decor and cleanliness made a good first impression but the fact that it’s never crowded and members are there to work out not socialize, tying up the machines is what kept me going. Truly enjoying my gym experience for the first time in my life.
the gym is a great place to work out. i go during the day and so far it's not busy or crowded. a nice environment esp if you're first starting out like i am. feel comfortable and usually am able to access all the machines within a reasonable time! highly recommend, if what you're looking for is privacy (compared to a commercial gym) and the price is reasonable as well
Small, clean, new equipment and nothings ever broken. Members and staff are all very pleasant. Personal change rooms and open area lockers on camera. Perhaps not the first gym I'd recommend to someone looking to powerlift and slam weights around, but if you're looking for a gym you want to spend time at because it's nicer than your apartment, this is it it!
Quiet, clean, friendly and such a nice facility to get away to. As a 'larger' person, I never feel judged or out of place. They have some of the best equipment around, and its cleaned and properly maintained. Good luck finding anything in this city that comes even close to either the Gym on Fennel or the Gym on Locke, in both facilities and staff!!
New to the area and decided it was finally time to get back to the gym. When I had a tour of the gym I honestly thought a membership would be out of my price range. But the prices are so great. Clean equipment, health and wellness center and hydrotherapy massage beds. The staff did a great job at welcoming me to their gym and to the neighborhood.
My favourite gym in Hamilton. It has all the equipment I need to get in a great workout, always clean, chill atmosphere, and never overly busy, especially comparing it to other gyms I've been to. I also love the staff - very friendly and personable people. Also appreciate how on top of things they are if something needs to be fixed/replaced.
Fantastic gym. I’ve been with GoodLife and Crunch fitness and you simply cannot compare them. If you’re looking for something clean, quiet and professional this is the gym to go too. The policies are clear and you’re given a tour before you sign up with an opportunity to ask questions. The only non 5 star reviews are cause by arrogance.
This gym is incredible. It is a safe space to workout as you do not feel judged by others. The staff is more than happy to help you with anything you need and will support you along the way. Equipment is top notch and very clean. If you're thinking of getting your first gym membership or switching gyms, choose the Gym On Fennell!
The Gym On Fennell is a superior gym. It is immaculately clean, beautifully designed, has state-of-the-art equipment, and is never crowded. If you are hesitant about joining, rest assured this is not your typical big-box gym. You will see and feel the difference immediately upon entering the facility. I absolutely love this gym!
The Gym On Fennell is not your average gym. It is impeccably clean and never crowded. It is a safe and comfortable environment to work out in. The staff are super friendly and always willing to help. The equipment is top notch and they have some gems that you would not find at most gyms. I highly recommend this gym to anyone.
Great enviroment. Always have access to the machines wanted. I have personal experience working out with Sean and he's been a huge help to my success and staying disciplined. I've previsouly been at the Goodlifes in town and this is far more enjoyable and accessible gym to work out. Highly recommend giving it a shot!
Very great club! The equipment is always in good shape and there's a sense of tranquility you get from having access 24/7. No contracts or commitment, and very good amenities to go with it. Unfortunately the guest policy is not the best, So if you're going to get a membership I suggest you get it in pairs.
Best gym I’ve been a part of by far. Everyone is so friendly and encouraging. The gym is very clean, organized, private and the best part is nothing is ever broken!! It’s very well taken care of by the employees and members. Sad to be leaving because of relocation but planning on returning :)
This place is amazing! Truly a completely different feeling environment from a typical corporate chain chain (*cough GoodLife cough*) this place feels like coming home… could not recommend this gym and their trainers more!!! What are you doing, get off this review and sign up for this gym…
Great gym, very clean and never super busy as they only allow a certain amount of memberships. Lots of different machines and tons of weights. Staff and personal trainers are friendly and knowledgeable. As someone who had never felt comfortable at a gym, they made me feel at home.
Amazing gym. It's open 24/7, never busy, and has a great selection of equipment. Everything is super clean. It's also amazing for selfies - really aesthetic, great lighting, and great selfie spots LOL . So happy I cancelled my membership with a big box gym and came here instead
A beautiful gym! Brand new equipment and clean space. Friendly and helpful staff, and seriously convenient for those who want access anytime. It's also great that they cap the number of memberships, so the gym is never busy. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to join!
This was the first gym that I ever signed up for, I was super anxious about my fitness journey - but the atmosphere and staff made this place amazing. The big commercial gyms lack the personable staff, the cleanliness, and the great equipment. Love everything about this gym!!
I went from being too nervous to go to the gym to now looking forward to going! The gym is super clean and never too busy at one time with the limited memberships. Upon joining I was able to meet with one of the wonders and got a workout designed for me! Definitely recommend
This gym is amazing! I have been to a couple and nothing compares to the cleanliness and quietness of this gym with top of the line equipment. All the employees are always willing to help and are always super nice in addition. No problem getting spaces, this gym is awesome.
The facilities were always clean and the equipment well maintained. The staff always were polite and greeted us on arrival. There was always plenty of space to complete our workout. It never felt like we were going to be bumping into other people or get in eachother's way
The Gym on Fennell is an incredibly clean, stress-free, calm gym. In all my time as a member, it has never been too crowded … always able to get the equipment or workout machine I want. I love the low lighting and how spaced out the equipment is. Highly recommend it!!
Definitely a well kept gym, but very small, and pricey. Has some cool machines, but no free weight squat racks or bars. It doesnt get very busy, so if you like a small knit gym, and can afford 44 and change month, then i would definitely recommend gym on fennell!
The gym it's really good, they have limited membership so it's perfect cause it doesn't get busy, I went at 5pm one day expecting it to be really crowded but it wasn't, I completed my exercise without waiting for the machines. The staff is friendly and it's 24/7.
Hands down to the best gym in town, very clean and will maintained the staff is super friendly. I canceled my membership cuz im moving i wish they branch out in different cities that would be great because once you go there you wont like any gym. …
I joined up shortly after they opened up. I was more than a little disappointed with other gyms on the Mountain that were overcrowded and dirty. The Gym On Fennell has a good vibe. It is well maintained, the equipment newer, and it is not crowded.
This is a great little gym. With excellent well taken care of equipment. Great decor. Somewhat of a boutique gym. I love it. Limited memberships. 24 hour, 7 days a week access. Never a crowd. Showers, lockers and great staff. Pete knows his stuff.
I've worked out at this gym since March 2022 and would definitely say it's the best gym I've been to in Hamilton. Super clean, solid variety of new equipment's, and super helpful owner & staff! All you need is right here at The Gym on Fennell!
I’ve been coming to this gym for about a year and a half now, I switched from GoodLife to here and I’m so happy I did! I love the low key setting, everyone is so nice. I’ve never not had a good workout! So happy to be apart of this gym
Best gym I have ever been to, let alone been a member of. While they offer top quality with for all of the standard services that you would expect from a gym (plenty of free weights, comprehensive weight machines and cardio equipment,
I was at this gym for almost two years. The first year it was great, I used to come here and not have any issues with getting a machine. You have a key card that grants access and its not too expensive for a membership. They also had
Ive only been to gyms like fit4less/crunch and the comparison is unreal, this place is clean, professional and the best part is that it’s never really busy! The staff are also very nice and actually take the time to get to know you.
This is easily the best gym I have joined. Quiet, clean, well laid out. Terrific equipment. Great vibe and warm, helpful staff. Nobody pressure selling and the fees are low. It’s a community, not just a business. Highly recommend.
Amazing atmosphere, gorgeous facility. The staff is amazing, kind, and super knowledgable about workouts. The owner Pete is a pleasure to talk to, and is always around to answer questions. This is by far the best gym I've been to.
Sean was very welcoming and a great manager! They had every equipment I needed. The gym is very clean and it was also never too busy or crowded. My husband and I work out daily here and have always had a great work out.
Great gym with really friendly and helpful staff. They keep the membership numbers limited so it never gets too busy and there's plenty of weights and machines. Very reasonably priced too. Thoroughly recommended.
Awesome staff - great atmosphere. Always positive energy and good vibes when I walk in! Top notch equipment is not the average you’ll find in most gyms these days imo. Definitely not basic. Check it out!
Clean, well-equipped, and has wonderful staff members! Also a welcoming and positive environment unlike other bigger gym franchises. Would recommend Gym on Fennell to my patients, friends, and family.
Excellent facility… Love the cleanliness and the boutique atmosphere, as well as the industrial ambience… The staff is amazing and extremely helpful. Highly recommend this facility !! …
Amazing gym! It’s super clean and never busy! No matter what time I come in at, I always get a great workout. It’s never overcrowded. The equipment is great! Sean is super friendly and helpful!
Best Gym in town! Very inclusive environment. Clean, well managed. Machines are always in the best working condition. Staff are super friendly and polite! Don't hesitate to be a member here.
This gym is one of a kind. The staff is amazing and the facilitie is always spotless. Great selection of equipment. The Gym on Fennell is definitely worth going to.. Keep up the great work.
nice gym and quiet. tvs on the treadmills are often blurry, parking is a pain esp. if you have a truck like me. gym is clean. music played is often quite loud. all in all i like it there.
I have worked out at many gyms in the past 40 years. I just joined a short while ago and I am very impressed with the facility. Better then any of the ones I belonged to in the past.
Sean did an excellent job helping my wife, mother in law and myself get involved and registered at the gym. Super clean and the equipment is in fantastic shape. Highly recommended.
Gym has excellent equipment and also very helpful staff. Atmosphere is subdued and very pleasing. And of course being accessible 24 hours is a big plus. Highly recommended !
The Gym on Fennell is a great place to get active. Friendly staff, clean gym/equipment/change rooms and a wide selection of workout equipment to fit your needs is provided.
Great gym. Joined in Nov and haven't had any issues. Nice and quiet all the time, never have to wait for machines. Staff are friendly, helpful, and follow covid protocols.
I’ve been going for nearly a month now ! Everything is always neat and tidy very clean , equipment is taken very good care of ! Plenty of room and machines ! Great gym
I spent about a year at Gym on Fennel and really enjoyed the gym space and equipment. Sean, Matias and all the other trainers we're super friendly and knowledgeable.
Great community gym, it's a true 24/7 gym.. the staff/owners and fellow member's are friendly and helpful! Equipment is top notch and the facility is always clean.
Would highly recommend this gym! The staff are so friendly and the gym is is very clean and organized. It is also nice if you are a busy person as it is 24 hours.
Amazing 24hr gym. They have limited memberships so it doesn't get too busy. They have also special equipment to track your weight and a 3d image of your body.
Amazing gym, highly recommended. I am moving, and the gym is too far now, but I loved this gym. Nice and quiet , never too busy and just all around good vibe.
Great gym, quality equipment and Sean’s pretty great always get prompt responses whenever something isn’t right. Never busy when i go between 2am-4am.
100% recommend. Super friendly and helpful staff. Any questions or help I needed, Shawn was able to help me. Super clean gym and friendly atmosphere.
Great facility and very clean. I love that it's private, I feel safe and comfortable when working out and I never have to wait for any equipment.
We’ll kept gym very clean and no long waits for machines or free weights! Would recommend for anyone looking for a more private gym environment.
Gym is fairly empty most of the time. Management is amazing. Ben and Sean keep the place mint and are easy to talk to about anything.
Best gym around! Clean, high-end facilities. Latest equipment. Worth every penny!! I feel like I'm part of an elite, private club.
This gym is great! It's quiet, not too busy, and clean. It has all the equipment you would need. The staff are also very friendly.
Great location! Very clean, and great employees. Somewhat small, but way less foot traffic than other gyms. 100% recommend.
Great gym. I spent a lot of time here before moving and really enjoyed it. Would recommend it to anyone in the area.
Great place to work out. Clean, great equip, and changerooms looked after very well. Worth every dollar
Nice, clean, ego-free gym. Music isn't too loud, warm lighting, relaxing atmosphere. Recommended.
Love this place I’ve been here for so long I always feel comfortable going here!
Love this gym! Will be starting personal training with Ben!!
I love this place .cleanest gym I’ve ever been too .
