im enjoying going here everyday

I will definitely recommend this gym to my friends/relatives!!!they have great staffs, clean facility and specially they have 24/7 memeber access!and its close to my place.

I've had a membership at the women's Shapes location on Portage for over a year now, and my experience has been nothing less than great. I have never seen staff so willing to help you learn. In my experience, I have never had a bad instructor. If I have any questions they are always ready to listen after class. The machines are never full and I'm always capable of going on the one I want. I'm confused about the other reviews of unkind staff. Even the care taker of the facility constantly says hello and asks me how I'm doing. In my experiences losing my card, all I needed to do was give them my phone number and I would be good to go! The one problem I had with the payments was when I cancelled my membership over the summer and they had charged me for an extra month. As soon as it was brought to their attention, they repaid the funds and apologized thoroughly. Ive gone to many gyms and this has by far the most presentable facility, the greatest staff and the most accepting community I could ask for. I highly recommend Shapes to anyone!

I joined Shapes Fitness Centres about five years ago and have never regretted my decision. I usually work out at the 2535 McPhillips location. It is super clean. They keep the equipment up to date, it is really taken care of. You can always be guaranteed that shapes will have the latest equipment and trends in fitness. The staff are super friendly, helpful and always willing to help.
The personal trainers are professional and always motivating. I would recommend this gym to anyone.

As a member of shapes Fitness center for over 5 years I find the *** previous posts uphauling. The Fact of the matter is , Shapes has the best Quality of equipment /facilities/ and services for the price. Most of the previously posted reviews are bashing this company on issues which are caused by customer negligence. If you sign a contract at any business of course they are going to hold you to it, why are you complaining about having to pay for something you signed up for? *** The constant upgrades , renovations, additions and innovative ideas of the Shapes Staff are continuously adding more for the customer. The Fact that this company continues to add to your experience, proves that in the long run you can trust Shapes.

Love shapes! I have been a member for over a year. Hours are great, staff super nice and accommodating, equipment in great repair and awesome classes. Highly recommend it!

I really enjoy going to Shapes on McPhillips Street ! The Staff are very friendly. I look forward to the awesome Synergy and especially the Hot Yoga classes which are offered many times throughout the week. Fabulous instructors like Tally with Hot Yoga! Lots of parking and they are open 24 hours which is super convenient! They now have brand new flatscreen t.v.'s for your enjoyment during your cardio workouts. Garden City Shapes is a great fitness centre for me to work out, get rid of stress, feel really good, and have fun doing my weekly wellness routine.

I've been going to the Pembina location for a couple of months now, and so far I haven't had a problem. The new renovations are looking great, they have a good selection of machines, it's within my budget, and so far whom I've met from the staff have been really nice and really helpful. I also find the gym to be very well kept, clean and everything seems to be in good condition.

The reason my boyfriend and I chose shapes was mainly their hours, I have heard many horror stories from ex members, but the hours that they're open drew us in. We're both night people, and work full time at a job that has us there until 11:30PM, so with their hours, shapes is a great convenience for us. The bonus to working out later is not having to wait for machines, pretty much everything is available at the hours we're there.

Though I have met a couple of other staff members, we mainly deal with the woman who works the overnight shift. So far she has been extremely helpful, and has yet to disappoint. When we first signed up, she was sure to fully explain the contract, letting us know that it was a one year contract, that we could not cancel until the year was up. She also explained to us on how to freeze our memberships (say for example, you break a leg, you can freeze your membership for 3 months that you won't be able to work out. You still pay during those 3 months, but then pretty much get 3 months free once you unfreeze it (lets hope that made sense lol)). And although I am in a contract paying $20/bi-weekly, once I go back to school in January, they will allow me to switch to the cheaper student plan if it is still available then, or to my work plan once the work contract is renewed.

Of course I still am fairly new to the world of Shapes, if I do happen to find the experience taking a turn for the worst, I will definitely give my piece here. So far though, it's been a good experience for me, and for once I'm sticking to the whole world of exercise, the motivation is still there and going strong.
