Club 16 Trevor Linden Fitness
Reviews
I should post pictures, but they won't be for the faint hearted, shockingly appalling conditions unless you enjoy filth & decay! ...From Very limited equipment (still no pecdeck in most locations etc!), to un-fit ignorant extremely Lazy staff, filthy unkept evrything-dressing rooms constant broken washrooms & equipment (shake bottles being left lying around rotting for weeks!), & the few machines they have are Always broken... We joke about the ghastly burnaby location but really its no laughing matter...I guess mr Linden is busy making sure his useless cunucks attempt to squeak into the playoffs to worry about his gyms! I go there Only because its the closest gym near me, but Wow they could use a major overhaul from their management on! On a brighter note, after going to Every location I found 2TWO friendly staff members (at the downtown location, sorry bunaby) who seem slightly knowledgeable! Good job Trevor, but please fix your forgotten Burnaby location, its treated like the neglected middle child, undeniably the worst kept maintained and supplied of ALL locations!
Recently signed up for a regular membership; in my opinion this place isn't bad as what others think. I am starting to workout so I am not a Hulk yet or not even close to be one of them but all the trainers and staffs are really nice. Other people seem to be nice too. I haven't talk to other people yet but they won't bother you if you don't bother them. Well, that's just how I see it. It may be suck for other people but if you are beginner and need someone to help you improve your health and get fits than go here. That's all I got to say. Thanks for reading.
There is a mandatory "Fitness Assessment" meeting when you sign up. It's $30 + tax, it takes 25 minutes where they measure your weight, print it off and give it to you, then spend the other 24 minutes trying to convince you to pay an additional $20/month for them to check in with you from time to time. They will not do anything for you in this mandatory meeting, it's a money grab. I asked for any tips, they said to get my lunch costs down by 1 dollar a day to justify paying the gym the additional $20/month. I was very offended. There is also a $40 annual fee payable in May.
I was told when joining that I was required to set up an appointment with a "health coach" which would be an additional $30 to the fees to join. I was very naive in thinking that this would be a time to be shown how to use the equipment, be given advice for a workout or diet helps. Only to find out this morning that it is only a time to hear a sales pitch to pay an additional $19.99 a month to receive any help or support. Never during the time was there any encouragement given to being at the gym to begin with. Nice gym, too bad you must play the game of hidden costs and commercial programs.
This gym is so crowded that you have to wait 15-20 mins for every equipment...i have tried all different times morning, afternoon and evening, all the times are very crowded...for serious people who are into working out this gym is not for you...i am really disappointed with this gym..i payed in advance for full year otherwise i would have been at a different gym...
