“This is a wonderful safe place to work out. All the trainers and clients are so supportive. I’m in my late 50’s and the trainers help modifying the workout if it’s needed. It’s a 30 minute circuit so you don’t have to remember or come up with a routine. I highly recommend this wonderful place.”

“Sadly it seems they've closed their doors (I tried going today). Hopefully temporary and just moving or renovating. Was an awesome old school bodybuilding gym.”
“The atmosphere here makes it easy to stay consistent. The staff are friendly, the facility is always clean, and there’s a huge amount of equipment so you don’t have to wait for anything. I can actually focus on my workouts instead of working around crowds or busy machines.
What really stands out though is the sense of community. That’s hard to find in a gym, and it makes a big difference when you’re building a routine and sticking with it. ?”

“Zack is a passionate and capable trainer. With him I have been able to set new personal records in every lift after stagnating for several years. His spotting techniques are the best I have ever had the opportunity to see or experience. He can help you safely lift while pushing you to improve and get the most from every workout. I live abroad, but every time I am back in Nanaimo, I make sure to train with Zack!”

“I've been to dozens of gyms all over the world and this one was the cleanest of the lot. A good variety of machines from cables and cardio across to more targeted weight machines. One of the best Planet Fitness locations I've been to. (Props again to the cleaning team)”

“I'm new to Nanaimo and new to this gym, and it's been a fantastic experience so far. Amber and Sam have been incredibly welcoming, helpful, and supportive from day one. The facility is great, and the membership offers exceptional value for the price. I couldn't be happier with my decision to join. Thanks for making me feel so welcome!”
“I can’t say enough good things about this gym. I’ve always been active but over the last few years fell in a slump. Tried walking, other gyms but nothing motivated me until OTF. I look forward to going and get really annoyed when my plans get disrupted. From the moment I walk in I’m greeted by name by the lovely front desk folks (Rhonda is amazing!). The people waiting are all chatting and friendly - it’s a real community. But the workout and coaches are top notch. The energy, the music and the variety keeps me engaged the entire hour. I am no longer motivated by just losing weight. I’m motivated because my energy is way up and I can really see the way my body is getting toned. And I can now run longer and my recovery from the short bursts has improved drastically. What started as a short term strategy had now become my permanent lifestyle.”
