Fitness & Gyms in Barrie, ON

“I highly recommend Crossfit Insight. Amazing coaches and amazing members!!! They are very welcoming, knowledgeable and will help you kick you fitness and health up to a new level!! Have fun and feel amazing!!!”

“I am so happy that I joined Somos CrossFit gym and community. Being new at a gym can be intimidating; especially CrossFit for the first time. I was welcomed by everyone including members, trainers and owners. The work outs are explained and there is always time for questions. They are challenging, fun and a huge group effort. I love the members and being surrounded by like minded people. There are always lots of laughs with the 6am crowd. The workout are different everyday and accommodate any modifications and different levels. I can't imagine starting my day any other way. Thank you Somos!”

“Dr. Delaney is great! She is passionate, knowledgable, and kind. You can tell that she truly cares about her patients and wants the best for them. She is great at educating and deciding what is best for your specific needs.”

“Goodlife closed. Been a member for 12 years. Been seeing AK through friends on Insta, decided to come by late tonight and I met J.R at the front desk. Very welcoming, professional and awesome. Joined right away. The smoothie bar open 24/7 is fantastic. Gym is awesome, equipment is great. 5 star.”

“Hotbod is perfect for any women looking for a safe, positive, challenging environment filled with like minded ladies and experienced instructors. The work outs are amazing and results driven. My favorite part is the people I work out with. Recently, we have had 2 new instructors (Caley and Keri) join the Hotbod family and I love the energy they both bring. I am a 6am'er and always greeted with an amazing smile and energy. I absolutely recommend joining this community. It is for all fitness levels and I look forward to each day and different challenge.”

“One of the best gyms I have ever been a part of. The owners are genuinely passionate about getting you fit but also making you feel great!They back up their talk with incredible hard work and a focus on growth and improvement in both themselves and their clients.The amazing attitude flows through the gym space and the members every day and every single person is made to feel welcome and motivated.You can’t do any better. Simple.”

“Looking to learn more in my fitness journey and get out of my comfort zone of working out at home for two years, I decided to try CrossFit. The Cabin happened to be local to me, which is why I choose them, but I'm glad I did. The coaches I've met so far, (I'm about 10 weeks in), have been so great. They are supportive, encouraging, helpful and are there to help you succeed. The members have been very welcoming and friendly. I'm not a hugely social person and I wondered how I would 'fit in' to the 'CrossFit community'. but it's totally fine. It is a nonjudgmental environment. Even though I had a lot of learning to do (and still do), they have been helping me learn in a positive way, every step of the way. I have a co-worker that joined a different CrossFit gym in Barrie and pays the same I do monthly but is only allowed to go 3x a week (which seems counterintuitive to me). The Cabin wants you to come in and give your best, as much as you want. The also have Intro classes to help noobs like myself. It's also very family supporting atmosphere.Can't say enough good things, and I'm glad I decided to join. If you're considering CrossFit, I encourage you to come to The Cabin CrossFit, and check them out for yourself.”

“Very clean facility, staff are very helpful and friendly! Megan is great, she has answers to any questions I have about workouts or the gym amenities. Easy 5 star review here.”

“One star missing only due to the fact towel service is unavailable at this location. Otherwise there are no complaints this gym is near perfect especially the staff. They are extremely friendly helpful and create a great environment.”

“I was super impressed with the ability of my son's strength & conditioning coach to assess and quickly determine what sort of program would get the results he was looking for. Isaiah was extremely knowledgeable to my son's needs, while still retaining the ability to connect with other athletes in this personalized program mean to meet personal goals. Administrators have been very helpful along the way. Very impressed!”

“I’m a type of person who hates walking into a gym and being watched. But Duane made me feel comfortable by showing me what I’m doing wrong on a machine or whatever I need. And that is what a true rep or person part of the gym should be like! He cares and listens to what you need.Carol is my personal trainer and the first time I met her I explained that I need someone to push me. Well I definitely got what I asked for and I couldn’t be more happy with my results. Also she is very outgoing and bubbly very easy to talk to but gets the job done. She makes you want to come back everyday and enjoy your workout it’s not a chore. I highly recommend this gym. The staff are amazing.”

“This gym is a hidden gem in Barrie. I absolutely love this facility. The place is always clean. And looking good. The staff at finest are top notch and caring people. Including all the trainers (whom are very approachable and knowledgeable) will happily assist you with any questions regarding your health and wellness. I appreciate the fact that employees here are like family, they all seem to enjoy their jobs and make an effort to get to know people, it's a nice touch that I didn't get at other gyms. The facility is generally not super busy, it's perfect if you're someone like me who doesn't like people or working out with 20 dudes all flexing for each other in the mirror (looking at you AK). The other features that make this gym stand out is they have an outdoor area to get a workout done. It's surprisingly alot nicer to do my sets in the sun! And my absolute favorite part of this business is that members can bring their dogs! I always have the best days after I work out with a canine companion! It's soo cool they let us do that! They even let me blast drum n bass over the speakers when it's not too busy. Overall I'm extremely happy with signing up to this gym. I can't imagine going elsewhere anytime soon. If you're considering signing up to a gym you cannot go wrong with finest fitness.Also note: over the past 6 years I've tried several other gyms in Barrie and surrounding areas and this place is easily the best overall.”

“They mislead me into signing up for a personal training membership on top of my boyfriend and I’s pre existing gym membership. Pretty sure Devon, the personal trainer— forged my signature in places and told me that I was only signing a contract for “liability” purposes for the “complimentary” personal training session i did with him which was included in the original gym membership. I never received a copy of the contract, receipt, or an email afterwards to schedule/book a session. They charged my boyfriend’s credit card 383$ without his authorization alongside 2 other fraudulent charges. Tyler and Nicole, the so called “managers” will not cancel either of our memberships until it’s investigated and we told all the managers there that we were moving away from Barrie, therefore it all needs to be cancelled. Nicole kept disappearing when I adamantly told her I needed my membership cancelled. Tyler laughed in my face and kept making rude and demeaning comments when I tried to work things out and settle this so I asked him if I should contact my lawyer. He then proceeded to tell me if I “can’t afford to pay for my current memberships then how am I gunna afford a lawyer”. He acted like that is any of his business anyway? Regardless, it is extremely shady and the kind of business they are running over there is dirty. Tyler then proceeded to tell me that LA fitnesses legal team has the best lawyers around and they are unbeatable & wished me luck— in an attempt to create fear within me I assume? He clearly has no idea who I am but I wish you guys the best. I truly hope you guys all feel good about taking advantage of two 21 year olds who are just starting out in life and are struggling financially to begin with. Absolutely sickening. The only reason I rated this place 1 star was due to the blatant disrespect, lack of professionalism, lack of compassion, lack of awareness, and scam these people are supporting. Otherwise it is an amazing facility with good equipment, a basketball court and pool/sauna/hot tub. Something seriously needs to change with this location. I am conflicted in whether this is a management issue or an overall cooperation issue with regards to the way they are training their employees. I don’t know who the hiring manager was for Nicole and Tyler but it is probably in their best interest to reevaluate their decision on letting these two run the facility. It breaks my heart to see something so positive and motivating at the start when we first joined LA fitness, get ruined for my boyfriend and I because of the way we were treated by Devon, Tyler, and Nicole. I hope this is some sort of awakening for you three and I pray for the healing of your sick minds. UPDATE: I’ve updated this review from 1 star to 5 for the sole purpose of Wyatt. If it wasn’t for Wyatt and his professionalism in handling this situation, I would’ve taken legal action. Thank you Wyatt, you’re a godsend and truly deserve a raise. Thank you for refunding and cancelling the personal training membership with no questions asked. When i was explaining to Wyatt what happened the day my boyfriend and I came in— Tyler’s petty comments towards me — some employee who looked like he was in high school, and I’ve never seen before, had the nerve to say “I don’t think Tyler said that”. Wyatt shut down the employees remark immediately and apologized for his words and actions. If anything, Wyatt should be overseeing all the managers and employees at the south end location in Barrie. LA fitness was out of control until Wyatt came in to handle things with pure compassion, grace and professionalism. Props to you Wyatt, you’re a beauty. Stay blessed.”

“Love this gym. It is such a great environment for personal growth. Always clean and well mantain. Great place to meet and make new friends. But most importantly, the way people respect one another is so magical in itself. Everybody is there for one purpose and one purpose only. To get fit and healthy and live a good life. ? ??”

“This isn't my home gym but it is one I stop by time from time. It's never full and always has little to no wait time. Im not sure how it was but it's full of machines now and I have no complaints. I work out and head out. I never had a wait for the hydro massage either.”

“Lakshay at World Gym on Bayfield St was extremely helpful and efficient when helping me with my membership and a new membership for my daughter. This place is fantastic. Have been a member here for years. Thank you Lakshay!”
