MOVATI Athletic Thunder Bay - Thunder Bay, Ontario

I’d just like to point out that this is a great facility, it highlights something for everybody. It is easily the cleanest facility in town because they have staff constantly keeping it tidy and from what I’ve seen, the members are respectful and wipe down.

They have done numerous renovations lately: new flooring, machines, weights, lighting, sauna updates etc. I view this as a responsible business move, to keep its current members happy and attract others!

A big part of this membership is the numerous classes they also offer! As a member, all you need to do is sign up for the class of your choice, at the available times. The all around services they offer is unmatched. People will argue that it’s expensive, but, if you’re serious about getting into shape and maintaining your health, the price is actually pretty cheap. Considering buying a day pass for most places is anywhere from $15-$30. You got ten times and… well, you do the math.

I don’t typically write these reviews, but I thought I’d clear up some of the negative reviews because they honestly just seem malicious. Maybe it’s just me or someone had a bad experience, but, the negative reviews DO NOT reflect the quality of this gym.

PS, the four stars is only because they aren’t 24/7 anymore.

Worst movati I’ve ever been to. Equipment is all old, staff are terribly rude. The general manager, Jen, should not be in charge of any facility. Lacks empathy and is incredibly rude. I NEED to carry around a bag with medical supplies, and was told I’m not allowed to and no exceptions were allowed and I need to put in a small clear bag. What? Like I have a choice I’ve been to lots of other Movatis and they’re great! I get the no bag rule, but for literal life saving medical supplies? That’s insane. Just this one location specifically is terrible, I’ve had bad exchanges on two occasions now with staff members. I only come here when I have to (like twice a year). Never had a bad experience at any other movati and I go daily so that should say something. Avoid at all costs

It's such a great environment 👏
The front desk employees are always so kind & encouraging. The classes are my favorite, because they are fun & inclusive.
There is something for everyone at this gym. Exercise is so important & coming here makes it easy to be active.

You like to be on the more spa and pampered side of fitness then you are looking at the right gym. Beautiful equipment and machines and enough free weights for the jacked business man that want to steam and sauna after the workout. Be for you hit the road, treat yourself to a tasty protein drink or bar. Staff was friendly with me and warming. You got a solid gym guys ! OUTSTANDING !

Wonderful group of staff who know their members by name and make an effort to make them feel welcome every time we walk in. I always have the most friendly interactions with everyone working there and have never had a single complaint in the 5 years I’ve been going!

Extremely clean and well maintained, and any suggestions for improvements or new equipment ideas are all handled with grace and thoughtful consideration.

Highly recommend this gym!

Quite a nice facility, very clean and the staff are all friendly. I've been greeted as I walk in every time with a genuine smile. There is a wide range of people who workout here so I feel very comfortable and not intimidated. The pool, steam rooms and saunas are a nice bonus.
