Everlast Gyms

Best Gym in Halifax by miles as recently renovated! Definitely recommend joining up if you haven’t already! Staff are friendly & helpful at all times no complaints whatsoever! The equipment is pretty impressive from what it was initially when signed up! Lovely facilities & spacious! P.S LIVE DJ in the gym to top your workout now that is classy 🔥 😎

I have been treated very poorly by both managers named Sophie at the gym. When I entered the gym, the sales manager, Sophie, approached me in an unfriendly manner, telling me that I couldn't let myself in. I responded in a similar tone, as I did not appreciate her rudeness. It was evident that both she and the other Sophie were displeased with my assertiveness. As I was leaving the gym, I informed the sales manager, Sophie, that the gym needed better cleaning and showed her some attached pictures (the dust doesn't accumulate overnight). I also expressed my discomfort with her approach and recommended that, as a sales manager, she consider changing her style of communication. As I was leaving, she made a joke about me being a sales manager, which I overheard. I returned to tell her that her behavior was inappropriate and rude. I explained that I couldn't access the app and still needed to walk in, yet she did nothing to assist me. The other manager, also named Sophie, accused me of shouting at a member and told me to leave. This was incredibly poor management, and I’ve never felt so embarrassed in my life. After a bad day we expect coming to the gym for a nice experience, not to be treated like that. I do not recommend this gym.

I really love the gym overall and the refurb was definitely much-needed. It looks great and is genuinely appreciated! I only have a couple of small issues. Before the refurb, there used to be a functional matted area tucked away in a quieter corner. Now the new matted space is labeled strictly for “recovery” and sits right in front of the treadmills and the Hyrox station. It can feel a bit daunting and distracting for anyone trying to move slowly and with control on the mats while there’s intense Hyrox training happening directly in front of them. With the gym now being much more open plan and “on show,” it adds to the feeling of being a little too exposed. My second (and biggest) issue is the music. It’s way, way too loud. The funny thing is most people are already wearing headphones, or at least trying to listen to their own music. The volume makes any workout, whether it’s something intense or something slower like Pilates or stretching, feel overly intense and overstimulating. I’ve spoken to others who feel the same. Other than that, the equipment is fantastic and the changing rooms look really sleek.

I recently visited Everlast for a trial as I was looking for a new gym and ended up joining straight after. I was really impressed with the facilities, but the staff were the real standout — super friendly, smiley and have been so happy to help. Such a welcoming atmosphere, highly recommend.

As a five day a week swimmer I have to comment on the condition of the Halifax pool. Now the temperature of the water is always the same and is perfect for the younger swimmers as well as the older members. The staff, and particularly Michael, need to be commended for their efforts.
