It's good. It's better than NAC for powerlifting equipment. Only place in town with a platform. One of if not the only gym in nanaimo that allows chalk. Pool and sauna are nice, as well as the big changing room. I've been pretty jacked up in there and it's a good environment to be in. Members are usually supportive as opposed to complaint happy as I'm used to.There is a lack of variety when it comes to things such as bench presses or squat racks. But that is to be expected of a commercial gym. Sometimes I resort to doing dumbbell work or holding squats off later on in the workout. Staff is friendly, the prices are decent. I've been going for the last year or so (since I've moved back) and it's probably the best option for a clean, maintained, member oriented gym that isn't packed to the brim. More...

I was a bit nervous when I finally decided to go to a gym because I didn't know what to expect as I have never been before but I absolutely loved it! Lifestyles' makes you feel so comfortable and the other gym members are friendly and most importantly they were supportive. I can already see how my body is changing and that just makes me work out with more determination than before. I love this place and I would recommend to any of my friends! More...

Best gym in the city and I’ve been members at all of them. Good selection of hammer strength equipment, pool access, beautiful location and friendly staff. The only complaint would be that the cardio area is cramped and it can be hard to find free equipment at peak hours. If I ever move back I’ll be joining here. I ended up switching to harbour city fitness in my last few months in Nanaimo due to it being close to my place of work and I seriously regretted it. More...

Great spot with a nice, welcoming atmosphere that is not intimidating. Staff are friendly and take the time to get to know their regulars. Things are kept clean and in working order on the floor and the studio space upstairs is really beautiful. Although not something I use every time the pool, sauna, and steam room are awesome amenities. It’s not a big pool so if you’re serious about getting your distance in it’s not ideal, however, as a way to cool down after a workout or get a little variety in it’s awesome. Also, they have a deadlifting platform with bumper plates which is an awesome addition since it can be a real hassle at some places with not the right set up or that don’t allow a bit of chalk to be used. The way it’s position will be a no go for Olympic lifts or any overhead dropping of the barbell (too close to the dumbbell rack in the front and a main walking path right behind) but most people in general gyms have no business performing snatches or jerks, if you’re serious about that go to the CrossFit gym and train with the Hercules lifting team. You could definitely do cleans/power cleans though. If the location makes sense to you and you prefer a more laid back, calmer gym vibe (ie. classic rock vs electronic music) than this place should be on your list to check out. They offer a nice trial too so no reason not to check it out if you were thinking about it! More...
