Movati Athletic

Nice Gym, price should be reduced if you can't utilize every service they offer. For $60 a month as the cheapest plan it isn't the most wallet friendly. Would be nice if they were open later than 9:30pm... seems early for a "premium" facility.

Great gym, it has amazing amenities, such as a sauna steam room etc, although some are closed due to covid.
I rate a 3 star review due to their sudden no gym bag rule. I find it very strange that they give you a complementary gym bag upon signing up, and unexpectedly create a rule to prohibit them from all areas but the change rooms. This rule is not listed in the agreement terms. The prohibition is enforced not due to covid, cleanliness, or hygiene issues. I can regognize if it is due to health and hygiene reasons, such as not being able to sanitize the bag. However the rule is being enforced due to a “ tripping hazard” when people are supposed to be 6ft away, and theft.
Why not provide a clear plastic draw string Movati bag if theft is an issue? This type of bag can also be sanitized on the out side. I find cleanliness will deteriorate as people, such as myself who uses bands, lifting belts wraps and other exercise tools, and masks ( as they are optional when on equipment or stationary) will be left sporadically around the gym, on other equipment and the floor, not contained. Great move for hygiene during Covid Movati. The contradictory concept of providing a gym bag with the membership to be told we can not use it is unusual and misleading. I would like to highlight that this rule is only enforced at the Windsor location, our home gym. Although the fees we pay to have cross member ships to other locations, such as Guelph and kingsville, where this regulation is not implemented. Movati, I hope you find a solution to these issues, as members are likely to leave or not join due to the lack of consistency, illogical rules, and lackadaisical approach to hygiene.

I enjoy the gym a lot for my accessory work, the unlimited training time is also great but my biggest pet peeve currently is the fact you can't bring even a small stringer bag to hold your equipment such as a belt, wraps, wrist wraps, sleeves etc. I've been told it's apparently due to a tripping hazard or theft of their equipment. I understand the tripping hazard but during these times everyone should be staying 6 feet away from eachother so no one should be tripping on any bags. Also as for the stealing maybe implement the use of clear bags, or bag checks once leaving the facility. If this was sorted out the gym would be excellent. Thank you.
