After
1
year
at
Movati
here's
my
experience.
Staff:
The
front
staff
are
a
mixed
bag.
I
get
it,
it's
good
to
be
social,
however,
spending
more
time
gabbing
and
giving
partial
attention
to
clients
is
not
professional.
Again,
not
all
staff,
some
are
professional,
sweet,
and
focused,
others
are
just
grumpy
and
a
tad
standoff'ish.
Is
customer
service
a
luxury,
nowadays?
Ground
floor
gym:
I
only
come
for
the
ground
floor
gym.
Open,
spacious,
it's
amazing!
Worth
the
membership,
since
there's
so
many
squat
racks.
No
one
comes
here
too,
so
you
can
take
your
time
and
punch
the
punching
bags
all
day.
Big
PLUS!
Ambiance:
There's
always
some
cheap
tech-house
playing
on
loud
speakers.
It's
even
in
the
change
room.
Also,
there
are
literally
20
TV's
fighting
for
your
attention
while
doing
cardio
(+
tech
house
music!!).
Feeling
like
a
test
patient
at
a
brainwashing
facility,
lol.
I
don't
need
silence/pitch
black
darkness,
but
this
place
is
OVER-stimulating
as
heck.
Need
a
quite
spot
to
stretch?
Good
luck,
the
tech-house
ghost
follows
you
in
every
room
(sorry,
but
I
don't
like
blasting
my
ear-pods
to
outweigh
the
gym
speakers).
The
upstairs
cross
fit
area
is
poorly
located.
Layout:
The
design
of
the
weight
room
is
lack
luster.
Good
luck
finding
a
machine
during
peak
hour.
**
Folks
always
wipe
down
equipment
which
is
really
good,
I
appreciate
this!!
Parking
is
a
nightmare,
esp.
with
folks'
driving/parking
etiquette.
Crowd:
It's
a
great
crowd.
Respectable,
easy
going.
Not
too
many
'camera
tripod'
divas/bros.
I
have
an
issue
with
the
'intense/provocative
workout
gear'
lady's
rock
here.
I
get
it,
but
at
the
same
time,
it's
straight
up
vulgar,
are
there
any
standards?
(It's
more
intense
here
than
other
gyms
I've
been
to
in
the
city).
Sorry,
I'm
a
dude,
it's
hard
to
focus,
sue
me!
Why
is
everyone
wearing
Crocs
&
squatting
barefoot?
Some
people
have
a
knack
for
playing
their
'trap
music'
on
a
bluetooth
speaker
like
they
own
the
place.
There
needs
to
be
staff
walking
around
to
keep
the
gym
etiquette
in
check!!
**
Sauna/Steam:
No
complaints.
Love
it.
Just
'tech
obsessed'
folks
need
to
learn
to
turn
OFF
their
music.
This
is
the
only
place
one
can
find
silence
and
peace
after
a
workout.
No
nudity,
which
is
a
good
thing
<3
**
Pool/Hot
tub:
I
never
use
these
facilities,
but
when
I
do,
it's
pretty
awesome
<3
Though,
folks
have
a
full
purview
of
you,
as
they
sit
and
read
a
book.
Am
I
the
only
one
that
doesn't
like
being
watched?
lol
**
There's
a
pool
table
for
chilling
after
your
work
out.
Classy
<3
**
Lady's
personal
fitness
area:
Lady's
get
their
own
training
and
swimming
pool.
This
is
huge,
and
I'm
sure
is
really
appreciated!
Locker
room:
It's
poorly
designed,
so
you're
too
close
to
people
no
matter
where
you
are.
Lockers
seem
secure
though.
They
have
great
hair
dryers
(seriously,
they're
damn
good!)
Price:
Honestly,
after
a
couple
of
months,
I
realized
I
was
happier
at
a
lower
tier
gym
but
was
LOCKED
for
a
year.
Be
careful
don't
make
a
jump
if
you're
not
100%
sure
you
can
dish
out
($900-$1200)/annum.
They
have
freeze
and
towel
options,
but
really,
other
gyms
would
be
a
better
gamble.
***
Yoga
studio:
This
alone
is
worth
the
membership,
except
it's
a
Western
twist
on
yoga.
I
prefer
no
music
at
all,
but
we
got
pop
music,
Lululemon
style
yoga.
The
teachers
are
great,
and
the
room
get's
toasty.
Plus
cold
towels
after.
Overall,
it
wasn't
the
best
experience,
but
this
location
is
the
best
of
all
the
Movati's
(as
I'm
told).
I'm
a
strongly
opinionated
guy,
I
prefer
a
bare
bones
and
clean
gym.
That's
it.
Maybe
this
wasn't
a
good
fit.
Happy
I
came
and
met
the
people
I
did
though.
Thanks
for
hearing
me
complain
^^
