Westbrook Spa Lady

I LOVE this gym ! I have a free membership at the University gym but I find its too much of a meat market — I love that Spa Lady is only women you don’t have to feel uncomfortable or worried about getting hit on by some juice head guy.
The equipment is nice and all new and the classes are all fantastic.
I signed up for personal training and its changed my life! So worth the money to have that extra motivation and to have someone pushing you. I find the membership and personal training prices are a bit better than a lot of the other gyms as well.
The only reason they lost a star is because some of the members of the front desk staff leave a bit to be desired — they can be rude and unhelpful.

I have been with Spa Lady since 2009… I have enjoyed my time there even back in the «dungeon» days before the amazing reno’s but now it’s a WOW gym.
I’ve been training 3 times a week with the best Trainer Kim Windsor since October 2012. She inspires and encourages me along. I look forward to this time, and find it’s been worth every penny.
The new equipment is incredible .
I love that the memberships are so affordable that I was able to also sign up my 16 daughter as a member.

I’m so glad the renos are done here cause honestly it was hard to come here when everything was out of sorts. The upgrade was much needed and the whole place looks great. I really like that a lot of the new equipment has tvs attached so you can watch a show while your doing cardio instead of painfully watching the time tick by.
I have been coming to gym for 8 years and I have stayed loyal because the staff is great and the rates are much better compared to other gyms. Plus I can use my membership in the SE when I’m over on that end of the city which is nice. The change rooms have way more space to put your bags and lockers galore! They also put in a vanity with plug ins for hair dryers and whatever so that women can do their hair /​makeup with more room and out of the way of people coming in and out.
They lost one star because lately the front desk staff hasn’t been very receptive. I see them openly out on their phones all the time. It shows me that their more interested in texting than working and the last time I checked people didn’t get paid to text. The one girl who would always greet me or say goodbye when I left has fallen victim to this bad bad habit. It’s nice to be acknowledged with a friendly hello or a have a nice day when you leave it makes you feel less invisable. That’s just me though!

Spa Lady… Not a bad place to go for just women, however, here are a few things to consider before you join.
I find it very hard every day to be able to get on equipment. The location I go to has horrible parking. There is a pub beside it, another gym and a movie theatre all in same complex.
The same one I go to is not able to provide the same type of programs as the other locations do because they are not «big enough». Very small area to work out and it’s cramped. In order to go to another location which offers the programs I want, I will have to travel 30 minutes (from one end of the city to the other) just for a 1 hour program.
Also, are you willing to pay monthly for 2 years in a contract?
There is no way out of it unless the follow conditions apply: 1) a medical condition which renders you unable to use the club for the entire remaining initial term and such condition is verified in writing by a physician licensed to practice medicine. 2) If you move further than 30kms from a Spa Lady club you must provide 2 pieces to support this with your name and new address on it. The contract is non-​transferable.
Also a cancellation Fee of $ 150.00 will apply for «either» reason to cancel and must be paid along with your Dr.‘s note or proof of new address documents and your letter stating you want to cancel in writing before processing the cancellation request.
Since I started schooling and working full time (it also takes an hour to get to and from work), I have no time to go to the gym, and it is a waste of my money.
