World Health - Richmond

So lucky I found this place. Has helped me become more fit, and I'm grateful to the kind helpful staff. I have a small child, so the kid's area is also a tremendous help (my son loves going there). Have had great experience with the class instructors and trainers, as well.

I joined the Richmond World Fitness Centre for the convenience. I had thought I’d get fit so worked out a few times a week. Then I met one of the instructors - Minoo, and everything changed . I’m now working out not just going through the motions. Yes I get the benefits of weight loss but the real gain is a sense of purpose and the satisfaction of great health.
‘Enough said!! Your turn to try it!

Honestly my favourite gym in Calgary! Everyone is extremely friendly and welcoming. I’ve been having personal trainings with Minoo and she is the greatest person. She makes her clients have the best time while working our butts off. If you ever feel insecure or intimidated by going to the gym, I guarantee you’ll feel differently once you try out a session with her. Also, props to Jesse for making my first few days very welcoming!

Great facility. A good age range of trainers for all ages to feel comfortable getting help or to ask questions. Awesome new state of the art equipment that is kept clean by the staff and patrons. Good location. Would be nice if the price of membership was better, but I also understand that quality comes with the higher price tag. Compare it to goodlife up the road in Richmond square, I'd happily pay the extra money!!!

I decided to go back to the gym after years of being away from it. I checked out every gym in the city. I decided to go with World Health Richmond after meeting their team and seeing how comfortable they make new people feel. It's a gym for every person and at every level of exercise. I wanted a trainer but someone who wasn't over the top. Alex Hutton is by far one of the best trainers and I'm already seeing results.

World Health Richmond is a fantastic gym that always motivates me to better myself! From the facilities to the staff, it's a wonderful place! Shoutout to Jesse who got me signed up. From start to finish he made sure I was in good care. Can't speak highly enough about him, he really cares about his work and the people he interacts with!

All the World Health locations are amazing. From staff to the people who go there to the cleanliness off the gym. The reason Richmond stands out for me is Jesse is a champ. I literally wouldn't go to the gym if it weren't for that kid. What a positive introduction to World Health. Someone give that kid a medal.

I was leery about joining a gym for a variety of reasons. After some research and checking around I found World Health got very positive reviews so I decided to join. It was the best thing I have done for myself in a very long time. The staff are friendly , helpful, and very knowledgeable . The place is always clean and well maintained with easy access to the equipment.
Jorge is an extraordinary trainer /coach with a wealth of experience and is committed to helping me reach my bodybuilding goals . I look forward to my workouts and this is all due to the incredible experience that going to World Health is. Thank you for making that possible !!!

One of the best decisions I have ever made was to join this gym! I just started six weeks ago and I am already seeing great results. ALL the staff are friendly, helpful, positive and encouraging. The Trainers I have worked with are very skilled and motivating. I spent my first six weeks doing the CRT circuit and building the habit of attending 3 or 4 times a week. I am now adding workouts with a Trainer, Minoo, and I am grateful to be working with her.

I am inspired by every person I encounter in this gym - both staff and clients. This gym isn't the least bit intimidating. My only regret is not doing this years ago. Thank you, Trevor, Minoo, and Team for helping me to start this amazing new journey in my life.

Wayne Loftus has been training us for several years with excellent result. For our training sessions, twice a week, Wayne helped us to set goals and he prepared detailed, customized exercise schedules. He then made sure that we executed the exercises in the correct and most effective way, to make us achieve these goals. Time and time again, it was amazing how Wayne was able to find the right tone to motivate us, with his expert knowledge, his choice of exercises and his personal approach. We're moving out of Calgary now and this is one of the things that we will certainly miss. Thank you so much Wayne, it's been a great pleasure. Robert & Mary Ann

Excellent facility and knowledgeable staff. I actually enjoy working out now!

I am writing this letter to acknowledge that Chris Holden has changed my life by showing me how to gain understanding of my physical appearance and given me the confidence to reach my fitness goals over the last two and a half years as my personal trainer.

When I first met Chris, I knew this was the guy for me. You could tell he has great passion for his job, good understanding of what your current fitness levels are and what you need to do to reach your goals. He will show you the best way to take your physique and health to the next level. His knowledge allowed me how to prepare balanced healthy meals and to know which foods fuel your body to build muscle and strength. Chris was instrumental in showing me how to live a healthy life style.

Chris would encourage me to strive to reach my potential when I didn’t think I had it in me to reach it. Chris was more then just a trainer; he was a great friend, we would talk about anything that came up during our workouts together. I will truly miss our time together as trainer and my best friend during his time at the Richmond location. Sometimes in life a certain person comes along at the right time and throws you a line and saves you from yourself. I am very thankful for Chris Holden’s friendship.

In conclusion: Your staff makes us feel so welcome every time we come through the doors, we are not just an ID number, we are family to them.

I would like to humbly ask head office to congratulate the staff at the Richmond location in Calgary for their hard work and dedication to excellent customer service. They truly make their members feel at home.

Sincerely yours,
Tyler Kiffiak

Decent Size, Decent equipement. Not overly busy. Could use a few more machines though and the group classes were Meh at best.

BEST GYM AROUND. WARNING! Staff are friendly, professional, hard working, motivational and down to earth. Equipment and floor etiquette is practiced and enforced.... Shown as a notice on the wall... I observe constant maintenance of workplace expectations and regulations including respect and a sense of humor among staff. I have thanked the management once already to which i felt the need to do again onward.

I jammed my finger between some weights and began to bleed. No biggie. Hopefully they will have a first aid kit in the front desk so i dont bleed all over the equipment. I went to the front desk and asked for a band aid - to which we laughed together and assured me it wasn't severe enough to need a band aid. I did not receive a band aid but a quick trip to the bathroom and wash cleared it right up. I guess its not hard being an adult sometimes. Thanks Eric!

I asked some questions about their policies to which they responded with " here let me help you with that" I couldn't make this up if I tried!!! Thanks Nina! you were so helpful.

I had a staff member allow me access to the sink even when he had made it first there and gave me a smile later in the changing room. such lovely people

I walk into World Health Richmond everyday and feel loved, motivated and taken care of. A very pleasant workout experience. a place worth $33 bi-weekly

High staff turnover.... I wonder why? I see new faces every week, they must have great part time opportunities for students. Front Desk usually sit and do their job, it seems that all they do is scan key cards but I do not work their and cannot judge on what happens behind the desk as that would make me extremely dense and judgmental.

I see staff smoking cigarettes in the parking lot and although i disagree with smoking, I am glad they feel comfortable enough around their peers to do as they please as independent adults. Their education in how to train is not influenced by their life decisions and always take advice when offered by professionals. You have all done such a good job representing your company!

I am moving to Good life Fitness next week where I will find worse services and etiquette for a mere $8 dollars less! thank you :)
