Hands down best gym in the HRM. The owner (Sean) is one of the sweetest people I’ve met in the fitness industry, I beyond love what he stands for and the work he does. This gym is wonderful because it’s a place that fits everybody! Very welcoming, inclusive, very laid back atmosphere, and there isn’t a piece of equipment you won’t find here. Making the switch to this gym is one of the best decisions I have ever made! Would highly recommend this gym to anyone, no matter what your fitness goals are!

Gym closes very early. Weekend is earlier. Should close at 11 pm at least. Opening the gym at 5.30am is not feasible for many people. The many people who work full-time can come there between 7-10pm. The availability is a few hours for these people.

I’ve been going to this gym since September 2021, and it continues to be my favourite gym in the city. The staff are amazing, the trainers are experienced and knowledgeable and professional and Sean always goes above and beyond for gym goers, couldn’t appreciate him more! I spend atleast 2 hours a day here everyday, and have always felt safe and like I’m training in a respectful, clean, and fun environment! This gym is my home away from home & I couldn’t love it more :)

I’ve only been going to FX for an about a month but i’m absolutely loving it so far. staff is incredibly supportive and friendly and the gym its self is stunning. such an awesome, non-judgemental environment! I already feel like i’m apart of a community! also love the small rooms off of the main gym! great lighting and great for privacy (as pictured).

I cannot say enough good things about this gym. Unreal atmosphere, high quality machines, staff, as well as other gym members. It truly feels like family and everyone is SUPER supportive & knowledgeable. As an athlete that just competed their first body building show, this is the perfect gym for growth, looking up to other amazing athletes, and overall just enjoying a top notch training experience. brb while I pack my sleeping bag to have sleepovers at FX.

Great place, nice to have dumbbells that go over 100lbs instead of having to slam smaller weights into the hundreds and make it awkward to hold. Had no idea there was a powerlifting section in the back so that's nice to know. Power racking system only have bumper plates so you can only fit 4 plates on a bar, would be nice to have some normal plates around there so we don't have to go into the powerlifting area. Overall great experience, will be going back.

Me personally if you wanna start your gym journey and can’t find a place. You found the place, Fitness Fx is one of the best gym that I’ve been into and the staffs are really nice and the environment is great and this place is huge they have a lot of unique machines that I never seen in the other gym. The prices are affordable. 5/5 stars for me🫶

I used to really love this gym. Its a bit small with older equipment but it was quiet, no one bothered me, and not too busy which was always appreciated. This year I find the gym to be packed and the lack of gym etiquette that most of the gym-goers have makes it even harder to find available equipment. There are bars laying on the floor, weights not put back where they belong, and I find myself constantly struggling with having enough space for my workouts that don’t require a machine. The men at this gym also have an awful attitude towards women who work out here as well. Maybe it’s just me, but I can recall several times where a man has intruded on my space for his own workout, forcing me to move. I’ve caught quite a few older men staring at me while working out. The one day I was so uncomfortable with it I got up against a wall to avoid prying eyes and one man went as far as walking behind anyways even though there was no reason (or room) for that to occur. Their ability to properly clean the benches is also worrisome. These “men” have attitudes that make this gym feel unsafe and unclean. I know this isn’t an issue that can be directly fixed by management and it’s pretty much unavoidable at a gym without a women’s section but this wasn’t happening when I first started going in 2019, so why is it becoming a problem almost every time I go to the gym now?

Came here and bought a week pass as they have spin bikes in their cardio space. Most gyms lately only seem to have them for studio class use or in their studios. I paid for a week pass and came a handful of times. It was worth it. The gym is huge, has a lot of equipment. I only went in the morning so I’m not sure how crowded it gets. The weight room seems to have a lot of options, there’s lots of cardio equipment & the vibe is more serious. Which is what I love. Everyone there was polite & nice, kept to themselves with no issues. Huge change rooms with showers. Lots of parking out front. Don’t let it fool you- it’s a large facility. If I was a local I’d totally get a membership here.

The staff are some of the nicest and incredibly helpful people I’ve ever met, I tend to forget my belt in the gym a lot, when I do the staff have never failed to keep it aside, they even left a sticky note with my name😅❤️. Secondly the gym cover nearly everything when it comes to gym equipment. But it’s the people that brings me back.

Started a work placement in 2018 at Fitness Fx, as my post military occupation I was pursuing was to be a personal trainer. I was extremely nervous as all I knew was the military after 15 years. I can confidently say everyone welcomed me like a family and made it an extremely easy transition. I’ve travelled across Canada and have trained in gyms from coast to coast. No gym compares when it comes to atmosphere, hospitality and the equipment. Fitness Fx is extremely diverse when it comes to training. You can literally achieve any fitness goal at this facility. The new facility is bar none the nicest gym I’ve ever stepped foot into.

Don't let your preconceived notions of this place hold you back. Yes - It's a bodybuilder's playground. But I have never felt so welcome at a gym as I have at FX - both through their customer service on social media, and upon walking into the gym for the first time. They truly go above and beyond to make this a safe space for everyone and no matter your goal - you'll achieve it here. If you're still at the big box gyms - you're missing out.

The personal trainer here was really unprofessional. Edit: I reached out to the owner of this gym. It turned out that the owner is a very responsible person who takes care of his business. It's just some of his employees were cutting corner (ending personal training sessions early). He spoke with the personal trainer to ensure that these issues would not happen again. I added 1 star to my review for the owner's professionalism.

I have always loved working out at Fx and now that I work in Halifax ,I got a full time membership and it’s the best decision I made, the staff is amazing and always make you feel welcome no matter what your fitness level is. I’m so happy to be part of the fx community this is great move for Sean he is an amazing owner and I’m very proud of his success. This facility is just what I need to prep for my first ifbb pro show thank you FX

This location, Fitness FX(previously Goodlife) has never disappointed. Usually, there is more than enough space for me to complete my workout sets, and it's a pleasure working out with trained professionals. The amount of body building talent is an added motivational factor, and from my personal experience(and others), there is no judged at this gym.

I’m such a gym gypsy, always traveling and finding new gyms. This gym was AMAZING. my husband and I didn’t bring our own towels, but they managed to get us some! SUCH amazing service. Plus the equipment at this gym is next level.

I took a day pass to check out this gym and my experience at this gym was outstanding. The top-notch facilities, cleanliness, knowledgeable staff, motivating atmosphere, and additional amenities combined to create a fitness haven. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned gym-goer, this establishment caters to all fitness levels and provides the necessary resources for success. I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking to embark on a fulfilling fitness journey in a supportive and well-equipped environment.

Had the opportunity to visit this gym for four days while attending a powerlifting meet. The staff, the atmosphere, and the equipment are the nicest I've seen. If you're on the fence about checking out this gym, trust me, you will not regret it. The equipment at this gym is by-far the best in Nova Scotia. Pendulum Squats, Pullover Machine, and some other rare pieces make this gym the Mecca of Bodybuilding & Fitness. The hospitality shown by the staff was incredible. We will definitely be back!

Best gym in Halifax. They have the most useful assortment of equipment, you aren't shamed or harassed for big noisy lifts - in fact it's encouraged (in the power-lifting room), Owner and staff are super friendly and it has a pleasant and respectful vibe. I strongly recommend this gym to anyone in Halifax, beginner, intermediate or advanced lifter or even someone looking for a casual workout.

If you actually want to see results at another level and join a community of serious lifters and athletes, you’re going to want to join FX. There is literally a space and every type of equipment for every type of athlete. The versatility is unmatched and the staff like it’s clientele are respect, inviting and approachable. I’m glad I made the switch from good life and looking forward to all the PRs I am going to hit moving forward

In the area for the next 6 weeks. Stopped in yesterday to check it out. Beautiful gym and first workout was free. Which was great so I got to try it out. Signed up today with their new bi-weekly deal.

Fitness FX is a clean facility with top of the line equipment and knowledgeable staff. No slamming and crashing weights or people sitting on equipment using their phones. Alix is a fantastic trainer with knowledge and experience to help you reach or even surpass your fitness/ nutrition goals.

The Mecca of the East did not disappoint. Was in town visiting for a few days and had to check out the new location. Caught up with some old friends and had two great sessions. Loved the atmosphere. Staff welcoming, members friendly, really cool space. Happy to see the private gym resurgence well under way. A “Real “Gym”. Highly recommend anyone who is serious about training to check out Fitness Fx. I’ll be back😎

Tried out this gym for the first time this morning and it was amazing! I moved here a few months ago, and this is the nicest gym I have ever been to. Super clean, bright and spacious. The equipment is in very good condition and the staff are super nice :) I originally bought a month membership to try it out and happy to say I’ll be signing up once my month is up!

Took a break from GoodLife to check this gym out. The equipment is much better and at a lower price, I was impressed. Change room bathrooms are a little rough but I can overlook that. Will be making the switch!

Love the environment & equipment at Fitness FX. It’s different than the other gyms I’ve been to around here & I always have great workouts! On top of that, the owner is super nice and I love the fact that I was able to shoot content in the gym. Definitely recommend to anyone looking to take their training to the next level, get around other like minded people or just have a safe space to create content.

If you want to workout at a place that is invested in your success, has great equipment, staff and an encouraging community Fitness FX is the place to go! That all starts at the top with the owner Sean who sees you as more than just a number. He is creating an amazing environment where anyone from beginners to the most experienced bodybuilders/powerlifters can thrive. Since I’ve joined he’s been an awesome encouragement and support as I work towards my training goals. Then you have Brian, Austin, Ally and the rest of the staff at the front desk who are always asking what the workout for the day is or answering any questions you might have. Finally the support within the community is unmatched. It doesn’t matter if you are in there trying to loose weight or get ready for a body building show people see and acknowledge the hard work you are putting in!

Amazing gym. As someone who has extreme gym anxiety I was supper anxious to enter my first time. I was blown away by how welcoming everyone is. Everyone at FX wants everyone to succeed in whatever their going for. Amazing machines you won’t find else where and an amazing community. Honestly the fx community is becoming a second family to me I look forward to going in and seeing everyone

I went to FitnessFX last week and can’t say enough good things about it and would highly recommend to anyone. The machines were top quality, the staff was very friendly and to me most importantly the gym was clean and sanitary. The space is way bigger than I suspected from the outside. I will definitely be going back using there day passes and depending on my gym journey I would love and thrive being a member with FitnessFX

Fitness FX is a fantastic gym. It is SO spacious. The sense of community is strong. The staff members are passionate about training and from What I’ve experienced is that they are open to chatting about mindset, diet, training styles and are there to hype up the community in general. I love this gym because weather you are a content creator, coach, or are there to train and record, filming is welcome, which for me personally is important to track progress, develop my form and send to my online coach. It feels really safe. The equipment is awesome. SOO many great machines, a powerlifting room, posing room, boxing room, quiet back room with dumbbells, mats and slam/medicine balls, multiple squat racks, endless choices for cardio….It’s set up to train for almost anything! They also play hype music all throughout the gym. Fun perk, The separate training rooms have systems to hook up your own music. Check it out. It’s a damn inspiring place to be in.

First time at the new Diggs but it didn't disappoint, large gym with alot of great equipment. It doesn't matter where this gym is it always feels like home to me. The best gym in the maritimes, hands down.

Amazing gym and staff. Biggest gym I’ve been to, and I made use of as much equipment as I could before I left. Particularly enjoyed the punching bags, and having gloves available was very helpful. Just about everything you could possibly need in a gym all at one place.

Simply put: Fitness FX is in a league of its own. From the friendly front desk staff, knowledgeable trainers, to the abundance of great equipment you won’t find anywheres else. Locally owned and operated Sean (owner) is just a great person. How many other gym owners greet you on your way in/out by your first name and ask you how your workout went? If you are on the fence, or intimidated to go in -reach out to Sean. I guarantee you will not regret it!

Man where do I even start, I love everything about Fitness FX, easily the best gym in HRM, I've tried GoodLife, the Y, Fit4Less, you name it, no other gym is as good as Fitness FX. Been going here since July 2021 and have enjoyed every moment. The price is good, staff are very friendly, it has any machine you can think of, everyone's nice and there's no stiff feeling/vibe, the dumbbells are old school which I love, and having two floors definitely makes it feel pretty big. There's not a single con about Fitness FX and I could go on and on about how good it is. Day passes are only 10 dollars compared to GoodLife which somehow charges 27, I would honestly pay more than GoodLife for Fitness FX. I joined when I was only 13, almost 15 now, it was definitely nerve-racking going the first couple times, it can be pretty intimidating, but the trainer I had for my first session (Chris) was super nice and taught me the basics super well. Again, I could go on and on about how good this gym is but this review is already super long. Excited for the move but definitely going to miss the original location. 10/10 across the board.

Affordable, great atmosphere and you really can work out without feeling intimidated or that you "don't belong". Friendly staff and clients! I wished more gyms were like Fitness FX

just as the website says " the workout you need, for the price you deserve" no false advertising here.

Awesome equipment and friendly that always says hi and welcomes you every time you visit. Great equipment, and the boxing room and power lifting room and great inclusions.

I have been coming to this gym for the past four years. It has a great community feel to it, with a variety of ages and athletic abilities. The owner (Sean) is a "hands-on" person who really cares about the services offered, and he is supported by some terrific staff. In Covid times I feel very safe there, with excellent measures taken to protect gym-goers. Reasonable rates, older (but well-maintained) equipment, and solid management make this a great place to work out.

Unlike in the corporate gyms (Goodlife), you can actually TALK with people in this friendly gym. Nice people all around and good trainers.

Great gym for price. Has everything you need for most intermediate programs. Kind and knowledgable staff. Some equipment is dated in comparison to big chains but true lifters will feel at home. :)

I started working out at this location in 1984,it was called World Gym at the time. I continued to workout here on and off right up to today. In all my years not one owner has done or cared as much about this place as Sean does. He puts his heart into it,always awesome to deal with and has great staff too, willing to help when needed. I would highly recommend this place for getting some great workouts in a friendly environment.

I have been training for 24 years at gyms in the HRM. Fitness FX sits at the top of the heap for many reasons. The equipment is outstanding, the atmosphere is second to none and since going back after a few years away, I have been not only encouraged daily by the owner (Sean), but am constantly motivated to be better by those who train there. Don’t hesitate, go train there today!

The staff was really helpful and friendly. Also really enjoyed the old school powerlifting section along with a variety of machines that you don't always find in gyms. Had a great experience !

This gym has CHANGED training for me. I am finally excited to train again because of the environment that this gym, staff and community has provided. So many amazing people that train here that do nothing but motivate you. The staff is super friendly and actually involved in fitness. The personal trainers are some of the most knowledgeable people within the fitness community that I have heard of as well. The equipment selection in the gym is amazing too. HIGHLY recommend this gym to anybody from just getting started with their fitness journey to advanced lifters.

I'm a larger woman who signed up last week. My first day was yesterday, my second today. I was worried alot of I would feel comfortable and I have to say - I feel extremely comfortable. I'm slowly getting to learn the machines and if I need assistance, the staff if willing to assist. I can't wait to continue my journey there.

Was visting from out west for a week and did a few drop ins. Really enjoyed the old school vibe and wide range of equipment. Only thing I would like to see different is maybe the inside of the lockers re painted

Fitness FX by far has the best gear in Halifax, when I first moved here I tried all the gyms and by far this one had the best atmosphere and gear. Can’t beat hammer strength.

Great gym. Looks great, feels great. Did a day pass to check it out. However, it's got the same problem as every gym right now. It's packed at peak hours. Don't let this discourage you, as this is a beautiful gym, especially for its low price tag.

favourite gym ive ever had a membership at! until it moved locations… 🥲

The best gym in the city. Locally owned, friendly staff and equipment for all of your needs. As a person with a disability they have provided ample assistance to make life easier. From easy to reach wipe dispensers, to additional pads for seats all the way to step stools. You can feel the genuine feeling of unity and passion this gym, it’s staff and members all have. I cannot wait to see them keep growing and expanding further!

Being surrounded by likeminded supportive people that are people you look up too is something this gym offers that not all gyms do. Yes the facility is amazing but the true factor that this gym brings to the table is the community! Thanks FX for pushing me to be better while also being the first person to Pat us on the back. Highly recommend this gym!

I've been training for about 16 years now and I can confidently say the new Fitness FX is the nicest gym I've ever been to. Whether you're looking for strength training, cardio, powerlifting, bodybuilding, kickboxing, or athletic equipment this gym has everything you need to reach your goals. The new space offers so much in terms of space and freedom for any kind of workout. An excellent mix of free weights, old school machines and new machines anyone at any level can make their fitness goals a reality with Fitness FX.💪Strongest Gym in Nova Scotia!

I’m sort of a gym “newbie”, so I was slightly intimidated going to such a large gym - but let me tell you right now, I wasn’t in the door 5 minutes and Sean (the owner) immediately came out to give me a tour of the gym and get to know me. He is so passionate about what he does and it truly shows in this space. It’s extremely clean, the staff are so kind and willing to help, and the members are some of the nicest people I’ve ever met. I can’t forget to mention the AMAZING amount of equipment/machines this place has. After my first work out at this gym, I didn’t look back. Immediately cancelled my old gym membership and now you can find me working on my gains/goals with like minded people who are respectful and positive. I have no words for how happy I am at Fitness FX! Seriously my happy place. I’m so happy for Sean and his team, and proud to be a FX member.
