I love this place. If you're looking for a gym with a community feel, look no further. People socialize with each other, the gym puts on community events, coaches are actively engaged with members, and more. The gym has a great location downtown and is a very clean facility. The equipment is great (even learned about kilos!) and the coaches are very knowledgeable and available for questions or help during your workout sessions. The class packages are very fair priced and class schedules are great. I will (and have) recommended to all my friends in the area. This gym accommodates beginners, amateurs, and enthusiasts all at once. There is no intimidation by competition with other members like other gyms. My only regret is not having joined sooner! 100/100

Wheelhouse is a really unique concept for trainer-led group classes. Luan mixes a variety of training concepts, most notably x-fit style intensity with a martial arts notion of fluidity of motion. …
