    Give everyone some background about this business and how they dealt with me. So disappointed! At first, I was introduced to this business through a friend of mine, and I liked the fact they are a family business introducing a new way of working out. We did know each other, and I wanted to support them, especially since I like sports and enjoy working out ( I had my regular members at that time ), so I accepted their invitation for a trial session, and I came for it, and it wasn't too bad. I wasn't sure if it was for me, especially since I mentioned it might not work out with my schedule, but I wanted to try it. They asked me to pay upfront fees while we were setting, and they started taking my information and asked me to sign a waiver and what ended up being a contract with a cancellation policy. I was never told about such a policy, and it was only mentioned to me once I wanted to cancel my membership. I didn't ask any questions and signed. A few days later, I told them I wouldn't be a bit to make it to the training, so lets pause and re- assess in mid-July. I reached back around that time, and I told them. Unfortunately, I couldn't commit to the training and would like to cancel my membership. Once I said that, they turned out to be all about a business transaction, and I have no choice but to pay for the next 3 months, and if not, they will send my contract to a debt collector. My biggest disappointment remains my intentions versus how they dealt with the situation. Why I came to them in the first place and how they treated me. If you have such a policy, why didn't you disclose that to me?? Why I didn't know about it until I wanted to cancel. I have yet to use their gym for a single session, excluding my trial one, and now they want to take over $1500 for something that I didn't and won't use. I wanted to support your business, but now that you only care about money, I will never step in your business again. That matter is now with the Nova Scotia consumer protection Act. And I am they won't let that fly.

    A really unique and fun experience. Workouts are both simple and intense at the same time and the staff there are simply fantastic. The trainers work closely with you to help you meet your needs while creating a very welcoming environment. After just a few sessions I feel like I am both seeing and feeling results. Loving it!

    I have been a member here since January 2023 and I’ve been enjoying the workouts. Being postpartum after a twin pregnancy I needed lots of work on my abs and pelvic muscles especially. Nataly has helped me with regaining strength and the workouts have been tailored so that I maintain my milk supply. I especially like the one to one training, the environment and the facilities. I do feel that Nataly is pushing me and also advising me on how to make healthier every day choices. I have been recommending this to all my friends. Although I’ve only been doing two exercise sessions per week I am already seeing results. I also find the team very accommodating and my babies sometimes come with us during our workouts. Try it out, you won’t be disappointed!

    I love everything about this gym! Nataly, Marlon and Stephan are awesome, each with their own style with many routines. I really feel that they are invested in my fitness journey. After only a few months of bi weekly work outs I lost over 10lbs without dieting and lost 5% body fat but more importantly I gained 5% muscle mass. As a 58 year oud woman I was thrilled to see my waist shrank by 3" in my second body scan. The interiors make you feel very comfortable, far more than you would normally expect from a gym, all the amenities and then some. I highly recommend Best Secret Fitness!

    I have been coming to Best Secret Fitness for over 3 months now; 2 sessions a week consistently and I have seen a significant improvement in tone, strength and overall fitness. Each session is tailored to ME, my needs & my weak points therefore the results speak for themselves! I will keep coming back especially as the service is impeccable, the sophisticated facilities and the expert trainers who have what seems limitless knowledge & experience to help reach your goal. Thank you for making fitness fun & easy :)

    BestSecret Fitness offers a new workout technique that is quick and easy, making it an excellent option for those who don't have the time to go to the gym regularly. The small family-run business provides exceptional customer service and fitness training. If you enjoy cardio workouts - Try the virtual reality option! It's a game-changer! The complete body workout takes only 25 minutes, leaving me feeling like I've been at the gym for hours. Shoutout to Nataly, Stephan, and Marlon! Keep up the great work!

    Well this is definitely my favorite place and favorite people in Halifax :) I can't say how much I enjoy every single session and how this is helping me with my condition. If you are looking for a place where you will have the chance to take care of your body and soul, this is the place to be❤️

    Excellent gym. One of the friendliest groups of trainers I have ever worked with and so professional. BestSecret is great. Highly recommend if you are looking for personal trainers!

  • 5/5 Carolyn T. 8 months ago on Google
    I love these workouts, it’s so much fun and only 25 minutes, which passes super quickly. In this short amount of time I’m getting a complete body workout and feel amazing afterwards. I also like the virtual reality option, which gives me an unbelievable cardio workout, with the suit on, so building muscle at the same time. And it goes by so quickly because I’m completely focused on the workout, and I can’t believe I burned all those calories. I’ve only been doing this for five weeks and my whole body is getting really toned, my waist is shrinking, and I’m so happy with how it’s working! Plus having very knowledgeable and motivating trainers, as well the beautifully decorated gym makes it a complete and wonderful experience.

    Best Secret Fitness is an absolute game-changer! I've been amazed by the results I've achieved in such a short time. The personalized Electro-Muscle Stimulation (EMS) training is incredibly effective and efficient. In just a few 25-minute sessions, I've felt my strength and endurance increase significantly. The trainers at Best Secret Fitness are exceptional. They provide focused attention throughout the workout, ensuring proper form and maximum impact. The facility is clean, modern, and well-equipped, creating a comfortable and motivating environment. I appreciate how convenient and time-saving EMS workouts are – perfect for anyone with a busy schedule. If you're looking for an innovative and results-driven approach to fitness, Best Secret Fitness is the place to be. Highly recommend!

    Best customer service in town. Love the one on one service. If your struggling to get in shape this is the place for you. Try it once and you will keep coming back.

    Joining Best Secret Fitness is one of the best decisions I’ve made! I’ve been a member for almost a year now and the amount of strength and confidence I’ve gained is amazing. Every session is tailored to meet your goals, which makes it a completely personalized approach. EMS is such a fun workout and it doesn’t take long until you see results. The gym itself is beautifully designed and the atmosphere is always SO welcoming. Nataly, Stephan and Marlon truly treat you like family.

    EMS is amazing ! Not only am I getting great results the staff is beyond fabulous and such a beautiful atmosphere 👌

  • 5/5 Terri B. 1 year ago on Google
    I never thought I would see a difference after only a handful of sessions but that’s exactly what happened. I appreciate the personalized training and Nat and Stephan are knowledgeable, welcoming and always making sure you get your best workout.

    I would like to recommend NS Best Secret Fitness / Personal Training. I first walked into the gym, curious, as I had walked by a few times. I had recently sprained my ankle and was frustrated at a further fitness setback a year after breaking my leg. I was greeted by Stephan who was extremely welcoming and friendly, immediately putting me at ease. He talked me through the process and showed me around the gym and facilities, which are amazing with beautifully decorated changing rooms and shower facilities. I signed up for the free training session to see what I thought, no pressure. The first session was with Nataly and she explained the process and set me up. She gave me a personal training session and really worked me, explaining the process and was very encouraging. I happily signed up for the two week trail and Marlon patiently showed me how to use the app. There was a 360 body scan, and this could have been an horrific experience, but Marlon and Nataly were kind and not remotely judgemental with the results. And the two week trial started, immediately after that I signed up for membership, it was an easy decision. The sessions are always fun, sometimes so fun you don't realise you are working hard until you are done, I always work harder than I expect, always feel encouraged, motivated, always laugh and always leave feeling great. And of course my jeans fit better already! I have had problems with an eating disorder in the past, and weight loss has sometimes been hard for me when struggling with it. The biggest recommendation I can give for Best Secret fitness is the personal care that is shown by the team. They all treat you like family, this makes difficult conversations so much easier. Nataly has sat with me numerous times and we have talked about diet, triggers and solutions. There is never judgement, always encouragement and your success is their number one concern. I have never been to a gym that is so invested in your success. I couldn't be happier that I walked in that day. I can't recommend them highly enough.

    I was certainly sceptical when I signed up, but the results speak for themselves. This is such a personalized experience, and unlike any other workout I have done. There is care taken with each session to work toward your goals and also consideration for any limitations you might have. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Best Secret to anyone looking for a boutique fitness experience.

  • 5/5 sneha a. 1 year ago on Google
    I went here to redeem my free session offered when we sign up. It was a great place with amazing amenities. The instructor is fun to work with, it's a workout that is advanced and you might want to check out if you want to shed weight faster. The only draw back is they have these body suits which we need to pay for and that's around 250$, apart from the biweekly purchase plan.

  • 5/5 Rebecca G. 1 year ago on Google
    I would give 6 stars if I could! I felt apprehensive about getting back into fitness after a long hiatus but the team at Best Secret could not have made it a more positive experience! I truly look forward to every session and leave in a better mood than I came! I feel stronger than I have in years. Would recommend to anyone looking for a unique and personalized fitness experience.

  • 5/5 Adina G. 1 year ago on Google
    BestSecret is my favourite location! I’m not a gym person and I don’t have a lot of free time so the program they offer is exactly what I needed. After the 25 minutes of intense workout I feel stronger, more energetic and happier. It’s also ideal for those who want to see results in a short time frame! I’m going to BestSecret after an overwhelming day just because the time spent here is a refresh for my mind and body. The instructors and staff are great people and we always have a lot of fun during the workout. After trying the first free workout when they opened, I asked “how do I sign up?” and I’ve been a member ever since.🏋️‍♀️
