Orangetheory Fitness Victoria

Ok trainers. I recently joined after being away from fitness for a year due to injuries and health issues. I am a certified trainer who has put on a good 15lbs in my times way. This is my issue - the trainers saying "wow.. you know how to do a squat.. good for you". Just because a person is new to your gym and a little overweight please don't assume they have never worked out in their life. It is de-motivating. People need to stop discriminating.
Also being locked into the payments is gross. Come 10 times a month or you are charged and no way to get out of contract. There is no freedom and ease of workout. Plus the getting there early and then waiting around. Not a great experience and brutally over priced. Join the Y for $40 buck a month and get on with it.

After clicking a link to potentially sign up I was called continuously for a week straight asking why I had not shown up to class yet. As of this morning I received a text message with the clear intention of guilting me into paying for classes. This attempt to use guilt into securing a profit is so blatant and concerning. They assume that if you dont use there gym then you are an unhealthy and unfit person. I cant believe a place such as this, which preaches inclusivity and teamwork, would use guilt to single out new customers. Bellow is the message I received.

I was in town for a wedding so decided to stop in for a session as I am a member at the Edmonton Jasper Gates studio. The staff working that day were so friendly and the coach Shanell taught an excellent class. I love how upbeat she was! It made the tough parts a little more enjoyable. Hope to be back soon!
