West Coast Fitness

I have a membership to the barbell area of the gym, and the equipment is excellent.I can train for both powerlifting and conditioning easily and safely, and in the two years I've been going regularly, I've never had to wait to use a squat rack, which is pretty much unheard of for a gym so reasonably priced.If you are looking for a place to lift in St. John's, I think this is it.

I highly recommend West Coast Fitness. I’ve lived in the areas for a few years but recently joined a couple of months ago to continue rehabbing a bad knee. I was apprehensive prior to joining, assuming it would be like any other box gym I’ve been to. Not so! The staff are friendly and motivated and happy to see you! Devon teaching U Jam is an absolute rockstar. She made that class such a fun experience. Her energy is contagious! Stephanie Singer’s morning hot yoga is delicious! And experience that is SO worth the early rise. I took a spin class with Jan this morning - what a workout! She got the bike all set up for me and kept the whole class going all hour. She is super fun but you also know she means business!!This gym has far exceeded any of my expectations. The facility is clean and fair priced for all the offerings.If you haven’t already met Janna, go see her for your In Body scan and consult. Hanging out with Janna is like meeting a good friend before you even know her! She is so lovely and it’s clear that she really enjoys what she does.

It's a decent gym. I like supporting local business, and I'm a resident in St. John's so it was convenient for me to join this gym. The quality equipment is in a special access room that comes at a higher monthly rate, which is pretty silly. They have everything you need for strength and conditioning, and at $42 a month, thats not bad.Edit: The equipment I was complaining about has received repair. Thank you!Pros: Very quiet in the morning / Plenty of equipment / local / spacious / Nice staffCons: odd layout / cost extra for the updated equipment

My wife and I joined WCF mid year and have thoroughly enjoyed the facility. After years off from lifting weights, and many injuries and scar tissue/ joint and pain, my journey began. Having an understanding of just heavy compound exercises under my belt from 20 years prior, I felt something else needed to change. Everytime I worked out, I'd have old injuries flair up.I started working with trainer Jacob Piho and immediately I knew what I had been lacking for my fitness goals, a balanced approach!He has greatly helped me find a sustainable methodology in nutrition, flexibility, core, and a nuanced attention to detail in helping correct what I believed was already good form. He knows his stuff folks!I can't recommend highly enough, Jacob and the always friendly staff at West Coast Fitness. I recieved the kick start so desperately needed, and an encouraging mental perspective to a balanced approach to training and nutrition. A true professional in a great professional environment.Jacob, truly, THANK YOU!!

West Coast Fitness is a quality gym located in the St. John's area of Portland. They have a nice variety of equipment that is well maintained. Jacob Piho is an amazing personal trainer and fitness instructor. He teaches the Fat Burnin' Circuit class on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Because I was totally impressed by my improved core body strength, agility and coordination from the class, I told my husband and signed him up for 5 training sessions with Jacob. My husband had severe back and hip pain for 3 months and had been referred to a neurosurgeon to schedule 3rd back surgery. After 3 training sessions, my husband's pain went away and he was thrilled to able to cancel his surgery. We still met with the neurosurgeon who was happy the pain went away. He said that the back surgery treats the pain, not the back. This can lead to more surgery down the road because it removes parts of the vertebrae that support the back.These days, my husband is back to playing tennis and riding his bike to work. He makes sure to do the exercises that Jacob taught him because that's what keeps his back and hip muscles strong and pain-free.Jacob - we can't say enough good things about you! You helped us maintain a healthy lifestyle.

I appreciate the sauna and steam room as well as the ability to shower. I didn't get that from my last neighborhood gym. I haven't had to wait on any equipment or area that I wanted to visit and have started many good habits here.

Trainer Jacob Piho teaches Senior Class.I like to recommend Jacob as a excellent trainer in our lower impact Class: He is always there to help with our flexibility & stretching and to help relieve pain & aches such as knee, hips & back. He very knowledgeable about our body .He help me so much with my Bursitis is all well now . Thanks Jacob

Love having a local gym that I can walk to. They have all the free weights, equipment and classes to satisfy anyone. It's also not overly busy, especially when you go during non peak hours. I had a 24 hour fitness membership for 15 years and gave it up 5 years ago for West Coast and have never regretted it.

I have been a member of West Coast Fitness for almost a year. There is always space on both weight and aerobic equipment to work out. There are lots of classes to choose from as well. Staff is very friendly. They also have trainers on staff. If you are looking for one, I would highly recommend Jacob Piho. He is always prepared with a plan for the session but is willing to adapt it if needed, sometimes creating a new plan for the day. I am working with him currently, and he is doing an excellent job of addressing muscle imbalances in a way that carries is over into my other activities. He's a really knowledgeable trainer. Great gym. Great trainer.

West Coast Fitness has a wide variety of friendly classes for all ability levels and needs, with good instructors and good equipment. There is plenty of space for both weights and aerobic activity. For that little bit of extra help, they have excellent trainers. I highly recommend Jacob Piho for his patience and his attention and evaluation of individual needs. His experience, knowledge and detailed planning of exercises for strengthening my weaknesses is making a positive notable difference in my balance, strength and posture. At age 75, that is important.
