    There's good value for your money here. Update: They've renovated the steamroom and they did a great job. The men's showers still don't have curtains 5 months after my initial review. It's usually pretty empty during the day. There's a good selection of cardio equipment, and more than enough strengthening equipment. They also have other group exercise rooms, and free classes to join if you're into that. The pool is small, but looks relaxing. Staff are friendly enough. They have a dry sauna room, which is large, but not really warm enough to break a sweat unless you stay in for 15 min or more. The shower room is extremely old and in dire need of repair. For some bazaar reason, there's no shower curtains in the men's showers. I informed one of the staff that I had a creep watching me naked in the shower, which is why this review will stay 3 stars until the privacy issue gets resolved. Not sure why a gym would forget something so mandatory. Apparently they're also being renovated at some point, but don't count on it. Overall, I'm happy so far with the price and the experience, except for the showers... they're creepy as all hell...lol.

    Very friendly, family atmosphere along with dynamic and knowledgeable staff whom pride themselves in customer service , and knowing the clients names as well as their needs. Owners Joey and Julie , Gabby and her management team and the trainers are always looking out for their clients well being, always available should anyone have concerns or need help. Gym is kept very clean, offers numerous classes to fit everyone ‘s schedule and are open to any suggestions you may have. You never feel intimidated coming in like some of the other chain gyms .

    Professional and friendly staff, a good range of equipment. For someone with social anxiety, I feel very comfortable at Riverside Family Fitness. Took up some very basic lessons from Darci, she's very knowledgeable and accommodating. Loving my experience at this gym.

    Riverside Family Fitness is truly amazing. Staff is compassionate and truly care about everyone and are always eager to help you. There are lots of classes and exercise machines that you can choose from. They really keep this place clean and well kept. I can honestly say that personally it feels like a home away from home to me.

    I can’t say enough good things about Riverside Family Fitness and it’s staff! I have been getting personal training with Joey for almost 3 years now and have never felt better about myself or had more compliments. I also get FST stretching weekly with Eric. The gym is always clean and I am always welcomed by friendly staff. Highly recommend!

    Worst gym ever! Used it for a couple months and Covid hit. Gym closed. It opened but I did not feel comfortable going in plus they did not have any classes happening or the pool open, which is why I joined, so I wanted to put my membership on hold. I was on hold for 6 months but when I went in and asked for an extension they said no. So I basically Paid for a full year of membership for about 3 months of use......BUT.....if I had been on a month to month then I could have put it on an extended hold. Don't like their bysiness practices, don't like how I was treated. Will never go back. Will never recommend them to anyone!

    When I joined in late August, I was glad that they had a pool for exercise. The first time there, an employee was walking around without a mask, then she spoke with a client who had no mask and a child between them. Then she spoke with the GM about feet apart and no mask. The same employee was then walking around still without a mask. Clients were entering without a mask and other staff members. I advised the GM about the issue which I should not have had to do. On my second visit, there was no physical distancing between the tread mills or plexi glass between. When I asked the young man on duty he said that is okay everyone has they had their second shots. The mask policy was still in place and so was distancing. In the other room that was no distancing either as I had to go through for the bathroom that was no clean. I did report them to the board of health. I asked the company to cease my membership, but they are asking for the cancellation fee that is indicated in the agreement. This facility had no concern for my health or any other members. Why would I want to pay money to a company who again had no concern about the laws and my health. I asked the GM if I could speak to the owner. Her response was that she is aware of my emails, which I tend to doubt.

    I’ve been a member for less than a year and this gym has become my favourite place to be. The staff are so kind and welcoming, specifically Kyla. She’s made the gym atmosphere a positive place. When I first started working out I felt intimidated but as I started talking to her it’s made me more comfortable and confident. I recommend this gym anytime I get a chance.

    Everything was great as I entered the Gym, me and my friend were in windsor just for the weekend and we wanted to excercise . staff was really helpful and pleasing. They give us the tour of the Gym and we liked it. Equipments were good and clean, washrooms, sauna and steam rooms were great. Lockers were new and facility was really clean. We met the owner Joey and he helped us in explaining how to use equipment properly and to do proper stretches. Overall great experience and recommend this facility to everyone 👍

  • 1/5 he w. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is the worst place I have ever been. It takes advantage of people. I have been to here for half years, then I cancelled the account and PAID cancellation fee on 2019. Right now, I’m applying mortgage and surprised there’s a collection of around $500 from this gym. I called this gym and they said they can’t find anything about my account and ask me to call the collection. The collection said I’m owning 3 month monthly fee and cancellation fee and interest total around 470 or something. They said they tried to reach out to me and no answer. The truth is I NEVER received any mail nor email and this gym even didn’t give them my correct phone number. When I canceled my account, they didn’t give me any paperwork there’s only a machine receipt which no one would kept for three years. There’s tips for people who want to cancel the membership:1. Ask for paperwork for cancellation 2. CHECK YOUR CREDIT REPORT.

    Such an awesome gym. From the pool, to the classes, the steam rooms and the equipment everything is top notch. You can tell the owners love what they do and are constantly reinvesting in the facility.

    Riverside Family fitness is a great gym! It has everything you need, a friendly staff, a nice, clean pool, clean facilities, and an optional charge for daycare for kids! I’ve loved my time here so far, and can’t see myself going to any other gym as long as I live anywhere near this one.

    Staff at Riverside Family fitness is great, Rebecca at the front desk always greets you with a warm “hello” and a smile. Joey and Julie the owners are always ready to answer any question and get you started on your fitness goals. The clientele varies with all age groups which was something I was really looking for. I really enjoy the classes and the instructors are there to correct your form and push you when you need it. I also do personal training with Joey and I’ve never looked better.

    Friendly and informative staff did a great job throughout the gym tour. I'm just visiting but I would definitely go to this gym if I lived here!

  • 5/5 Lisa H. 1 year ago on Google
    A really special gym. I’ve been going to Riverside Family Fitness since fall 2015. The community is really welcoming and caters to the very beginner all the way to international level bodybuilding- without making the amateurs feel intimidated whatsoever. There are all ages, shapes and sizes of gym-goers and everyone seems to give great support to each other. I can go in and say hi to familiar faces, or on days where I’m not feeling as social, I can throw my headphones on and run in and out. The perfect blend. Since attending here I have done three fitness competitions under the training of owner Joey Flores, who also won Mr. Canada in 2016. I won the overall. Now I just go to stay healthy & fit, and really value the wonderful staff that always greets me with a smile. A special place that I can’t recommend enough. Thanks RFF! Lisa

    Great atmosphere and very friendly staff. Gym is clean and well maintained. Pool was great for doing laps in. The free weight section is neat and everything is put back in its place.

  • 5/5 Ulli M. 1 year ago on Google
    I trained with Darci with the primary goals of learning proper form for strength training and feeling confident with navigating the machines and equipment at the gym, to get the most of my membership and time. Got those boxes thoroughly checked and learned SO much more. From what compound exercises are and how to execute them correctly, to building my own strength training program, to what pushing myself really should look like, Darci is not to be underestimated. Highly recommend this vivacious beast of a trainer. I've been a member for several years, and wish I would have trained with Darci when I first signed up.

    Riverside Family Fitness is the best gym in the city. Very family friendly environment but also a great atmosphere to lock in and get a great workout. The staff are very warm and the owner is very personable. Everyone plays a big part in why this is the only gym I have worked out at since moving to Windsor 3 years ago. P.S. Kyla makes the best protein shakes
