Has anyone gone into the presentation centre or checked out the layout online?

I currently go to Golds. I wasnt going to bother checking it out, but I got an offer which is half what I pay now, but I'm hesitant to sign up for a gym that isnt even open yet.

[ezol]

Hey Mike, I go to Golds as well. How much cheaper is steve nash? and is it for the whole term or a few months promo?

[Marioo1991]

Hey Mike, I go to Golds as well. How much cheaper is steve nash? and is it for the whole term or a few months promo?

i got this thing in the mail that said since i was a fromer fitness world member i can sign up for $24/mth, i pay almost twice that at Golds. They also waive the initation fee ($100+).

the contract is for a year, and I dont believe it goes up, but thats a good question i will ask that if i decide to switch.

[JSilver]

Golds is getting way too busy.

[Marioo1991]

Golds is getting way too busy.

I agree, its pretty bad now with the new year crowds, parking is horrible

When I signed up last weekend, they also told me if switching gyms they offer a rate of $29/mth

[JSilver]

Oh so your already signed up with Steve Nash Brentwood? How is the facility there?

I'm thinking of switching over but I have a feeling Steve Nash will get just as busy too.

[Marioo1991]

its not open yet, they said its not gonna open till April, but the membership will have access to all the other steve nash fitness world gyms.

it probably will be, but i'm only going to be paying roughly half the price as I was paying at golds.

[wuuhoo]

Do you know if the "promotion" is still going on?

I saw on their site, that it going to end soon.

Might call in later tonight or tmr morning

the $24/mth or $29/mth promotion?

I know that the $24/mth promotion for people who used to be members of fitness world is good till the end of this month. With this promotion the activation fee is waived, all you need to pay is the $15 card fee.

Not sure about the $29/mth for switching over. I know that the activation fee which is usually around $150 is reduced to $50 or something.

[mikemhg]

I go to gold's as well.

I was thinking about it, but they want you to sign up now, and start paying. The fucking gym isn't even opened yet, why would I start paying now for a gym that won't even be done until April?

So I can use other Steve Nash gyms, but none are even close to me in Burnaby.

Apparantly the price will go up to $69 if you sign up in April.

I don't know, I'm tempted, but the Nash won't have a steam room or anything like that.

yah i didnt like that either, but with me and my wife both switching we save around $50/mth. I had to give one months notice to golds, and since the steve nash fitness world is suppose to open in april, i only have about one month where i'll have to workout somewhere else. i can live with that if i'm saving about $500 for the year.

[wuuhoo]

Hmm I dont know if the office is still open, but mikeivb, do you know if the promotion is $24 - $28 per month? or is it that rate after the 2 year contract?

[Tegra_Devil]

hmmm, thats a good deal

I currently have a Steve Nash Fitness world membership, i have had it for a couple years...

and im currently paying $27 a month right now(taxes included). I just got btwn the Fitnessworld on Lougheed and North...or the one in north van, depending on which gym im closer to at the time

[Marioo1991]

Hmm I dont know if the office is still open, but mikeivb, do you know if the promotion is $24 - $28 per month? or is it that rate after the 2 year contract?

certain past members got a promotion for $24/mth starting right away, no activation/initiation fee, only extra thing you need to pay is for the $15 card fee. The contract is for one year, and the rate doesnt change after that. This promotion end January 31st.

My wife might not have fallen into this category, but since she's switching from Golds, they offer $29/mth, and i believe around $50 activation/initiation.

[dealt]

I signed up for $39/month + 1 time $54 sign up fee on 12 month contract + 3 months free because I paid it all at once.

The gym will open in April, during that time your membership WILL start, but the pass they give you allows you to go to any of the other fitness worlds EXCLUDING the Sports Clubs. They do however give you a 10day pass to use at the Sports Clubs.

what kind of facilities will they have at brentwood?

the warehouse is huge

I got the same promo in the mail and actually quit Gold's couple days ago and joined SNFitness. The deal is only valid with Steve Nash Fitness world locations and does not include the SN fitness center DT. The price of 24/month won't go up and really is a steal deal now days. Do It!

[Xnova86]

what if youre not a member and want to join the SN Fitness? how much would it be

they have several layouts of what its going to look like. I think the guy told me its around 30,000 sq/ft, similar size to Golds.

[Xnova86]

fffffuuuu its $39/month for first timers.

i used to go to fitness world at dt but they said they cant do anything about that

How does the signup work as of now? Any promotions? How much per month and fees? Does it effect anything if your under 19

[teddyah]

The set up looks really nice :) similar to the one in Langley.

IHow does the signup work as of now? Any promotions? How much per month and fees? Does it effect anything if your under 19

The promotion i used was the $24 per month for certain previous members which expired at the end of january. The only other promotion i know of is $29 per mth if switching over from another gym.

I agree looks like theyre being effective with the space

Alright so I just signed up for a membership at the Brentwood location and I signed up for a $29/month on a year contract and I just had to pay $15 dollar card fee.
So each month I would just be paying $29/month correct?

People are saying there's hidden fees within that contract?
Anyone have experience with this stuff at fitness world?

[JSilver]

Hidden fees? Maybe you should thoroughly read the contract form you signed. I would also assume you'd be pay a little over $29/month due to tax.

I skimmed the contract over when I signed up, and i'm pretty sure you'll just be paying the $29+tax/month.

I was a member for 7 years, and never had an issue with this kind of stuff at fitness world.

[chin3se604]

how did you people get a 29.99 fitness world promotion?

i tried a 7 day pass with the fitness world in Burnaby and the sales rep said he would give me a special with an initiation fee of 124.99 dollars 44.99 dollars a month for 12 months access to all the fitness world

when i signed up they told me if i was switching over from another gym i could get that rate.

do you know when the new gym is going to open? they told me April, but it doesnt look like its going to open this month

[chin3se604]

the people at burnaby told me by next month

but the people at richmond told me it'll be a while, def not next month...

does anyone know how to get the steve nash sports club membership for a cheaper rate?

[Marioo1991]

Just confirmed with the general manager, it's scheduled to open early May

[Chronix]

I got mine for 30 per as well at the brentwood location. dude was trying to get me to sign the $39 per but I managed to negotiate to 30. the thing is that they dont have a set rate for each phases in fitness world. even if they have a higher "phase 2/3" rate, they will still go down to phase 1 prices. just need to negotiate them like crazy. they'd rather you sign up then walk away without anything.

[Marioo1991]

GM told me they have phase 2 presale membership going on now. $34/mth, but he said only till tomorrow

Gonna check it out today

[wuuhoo]

^tell us how it is!

[Marioo1991]

its pretty nice, still got that new smell lol. freeweight selection isnt bad too..

I thought parking was gonna be a nightmare but apparently fitness world members can park anywhere else around there, didnt have a problem getting a spot.

[Chronix]

was it packed? i like to work out with not a lot of ppl around

[Marioo1991]

not really, but it just opened on wednesday so who knows. I think its probably gonna get pretty busy soon.

[dealt]

If you're working out in the weights area, make sure to bring a water bottle because the closest water fountains are located at the other end of the gym (cardio area). Quite a huge annoyance for me, but I guess for some, they can check out the "view".

[dealt]

I went around 4pm yesterday and it was decent. Every machine I needed to use I didn't have to wait.

[teddyah]

Hows the eye candy ??

[Marioo1991]

Hows the eye candy ??

pretty good, and its not hard to see since the cardio machines are in between the weights and changeroom/water fountains

I agree with dealt though that its annoying that the water fountains are way on the other side. They should have at least put one by the free weights

[wuuhoo]

is there a swimming pool/sauna?

[Marioo1991]

is there a swimming pool/sauna?

nope.

[nns]

How many squat racks, is there a platform, and what do the DBs go up to?

[yellowpower]

someone name all the special facilities they have.. like boxing ring etc??

[nns]

Figured I'd answer my own questions:
-there are 2 squat racks; 1 half, and the other full
-the DBs go up to 120 LBs
-there is no platform for deadlifting

[suzuka84]

they also have a full compliment of kettle bells, a spin room and a general stretch/yoga room. They will not have punching bags.

What are you guys paying?

The girl offered 90 initiation fee and $50/month. It drops to $45 after 2 years for the basic package. For the tier 1 package with all the classes it's a $120 fee and $60/month dropping to $55 after 2 years.

The pricing scheme is nothing compared to Fitness World where it's $40/month for 2 years dropping to $20. The girl wouldn't budge on price so I'll be sticking to Golds where I pay $30/month.

Also, zero hotties

I've been at Golds for a few years and was paying about 45-50/mth, but before that I was with fitness world paying 20/mth. They let me sign back up for 24/mth + 50 initiation fee.

[nguyen]

Paying 29/mth + waived initiation fee since me and my girl signed up.

Whoa parking is disgusting after 3. You literally has no space to park and if you do its tight as hell. Will probably not go at this time anymore.

Do you guys know when it will be empty/less busy?

Also, bring your own locks. Free locker to use!

early morning - to the afternoon and before 2pm?

I lefted at 2pm, and there was plenty of parking

evenings is pretty bad too

yea im gonna go at 6 in the morning tmr. fuck it lol.

anyone seen the asian receptionist in the gym. shes cute. :troll:

No she's invisible. They are all invisible.

That's ridiculous. Considering how cheap Club 16 is. IMO, Club 16 and Sports Nash Fitness is on the same calibre in what they have to offer, except Nash charges like 3-4 times the price.

A gym is a gym, you go there to workout, and to improve your health, not to go there to be seen or be involved with groupie shit while taking up time and space on exercise equipment that others are waiting to use. A gym is not a place to social.

If being seen or "in" is that important to you, go sign up at Steve Nash Sports Club.

i think i expressed myself wrong, what i meant is that the heatbags in that area are probably going to be the ones socializing, thinking theyre nuts hogging the bench 3 people at a time. I hate it when fuckers do that at Bonsor or any rec gym, it takes up my time and takes up the space in the gym.

this gym is growing on me, however there are tons of heatbags lol. also the parking is wack. i went once at 5pm, and i didnt feel like waiting in line for a parking spot so i just bounced. granted, that was for an interview with a sales rep.

tons of hot girls tho

[willystyle]

what are heatbags? douchebags? lol

[Chronix]

4pm-6pm is like prime time. there will not be any parking at those time.

think guys who gel their hair, wear armani/ufc tight shirts to work out. sometimes still wearing the murse on them. usually flex their fatty arms in the mirror for 10 minutes between sets. only do upper bodies workout.

:troll:

[see.lai]

The only thing this gym needs are more squat racks, but other than that, I really like this gym.
Parking is really crucial though; from 4-9, I could say that's when it's really bad.
There are many types of cardio machines, so you won't have to worry about signing up for a time or waiting too long before getting on one.
Most of the people here are pretty nice as well. For instance, we had 5 people going on one squat rack, all of whom we do not know. This is way better than those usual community centres, who would hog the rack until they are finished.

[sam0m0]

offered 20 month there when it was phase 1,2, no contract cuz i was previously a member. Don't like how there is only one area for water fountain and its the opposite side of the weights, prefer not to lug a water bottle around.

[truth]

got offered 6 months free if i prepay for a 12 month contract which works out to be about $30 a month (for 18 months). is this a "promo" or is it normal? can anyone chime in? currently working out at a community centre

[Honyoung]

normal i got it too

[truth]

thanks for your quick reply, was told the promo ends tomorrow morning, but I felt like it was just a strategy to get me to sign. How's your experience there so far? Positive?

[Honyoung]

pretty good i went to golds before and i prefer steve nash but as said before parking is a joke.
now about the promo they told me the "offer" ends end of the month too so im not actually sure if its a promo or not. i only say its normal cuase i know alot of people who said they got the same "deal" as i did. Sorry if this confused you. Im sure if you talk to the manager he can work something out for you

I prepaid a year and got one year free for the sportsclub. Tell them that's the only way you will sign up. And don't believe the expiration date of a "promo", it's just a sales tactic.

how much is your monthly rate? and would your deal work out to be 2 years total then? or does the one year sportsclub overlap?

did you guys have to pay "initiation fee" with those deals?

[vafanculo]

I did my prepay after my 2 yr expired.. Was payin like $65/mth cause it's the sportsclub. They wanted to charge me initiation again but I fought for that, told them WTF I've been a member for 2 years, and u want me to pay a joining fee??

My prepay was around $800 for 2 years, and includes all the sportsclub, except downtown. Works out to be like $34/mth.

If you guys want that deal, msg me, il see if I can get you that deal with no hassle thru the guy i signed up with. Plus that way I get a referral too.
