Mansfield Athletic Club

Thanks again Mansfield.

sent me to collections for 600 $ for not continuing with my membership. if you sign for a year you’re pretty much stuck with it. only ever went 5 times

I have been a member at Mansfield for 4 years. There are 3 locations. Downtown, west island and Brossard. It is expensive however the gym is everything you could hope for minus a pool. The staff and trainers are always very pleasant to deal with.

after confirmed via phone that they accept Crossfit drop ins they refused to sign me up since I couldn’t tell them the name of the person I spoke to. They value their bonus more than letting you actually work out…

By far, the best gym in Montréal. I have been a member of Mansfield for more than 5 years and I have only good things to say about the gym.
The gym is very cleaned and the equipments are always well placed. There are enough barbells and Dumbbells so that you never have to wait. Best of all, there is an open area dedicated to functional training (pushing sled, box jumps, skipping rope, wall climbing, hurdles, etc).
If you are into group classes, I highly recommend their Crossfit program. Classes are limited to 8 person, so you are sure to get the necessary attention from the coaches. I also recommend the yoga classes. The quality of the yoga instructors is just as good, if not better than most dedicated yoga studios. Try a class with Tom and you will know what I mean.
Many people complain about the price of a membership. But honestly, I can’t think of any other gym that can offer yoga, crossfit, towel services, steam room, sauna, professional staff for less than 200 $ per month.

The gym itself is wonderful. The architecture is phenomenal. Devices work very well with very high probability, and there are enough that one can find a working one. Staff are mostly really nice and helpful, and their spinning classes are really good. Their running classes are great as well. Their hours on the weekend can definitely be improved; 5pm is just ridiculous. My only problem with them was that they renewed my subscription automatically without letting me know, and locked me into paying even though I was going to be out of town.

Oh juste wouahou!!!
Quel luxe! Quelle place! Quelle service!
Tout est mis en place pour qu’on s’y sente bien et que l’on n’ait aucun inconvénient!
Plusieurs choix de machines de cardio ou de musculation, un très grands espaces (il s’agit d’un ancien théâtre), un bistrot pour se rassassier avant ou après sa séance de sport (peut-​être plutôt après), des pommes proposés à la réception pour donner un petit coup de fouet pour aller se défouler sur les machines, une plage horaire remplie de cours de fitness, yoga, spinning… Des vestiaires très propres, des piles de serviettes de bain mises à disposition, des sèches-​cheveux et des lisseurs accessibles à tout le monde, sauna et jaccuzi inclus, de grands casiers pour y mettre aisément ses affaires…
Tout est mis en place pour rendre la séance de sport agréable! Le slogan de ce gym que je proposerais serait:“Quand faire du sport est un plaisir”!

The staff will do whatever it takes to lock you in this shitty gym

W-​O-​W, I am somewhat surprised and very confused about these two reviews below! I’m sad that Jim J. came across such an awful employee. I understand these two men completely, but so far my experience has been totally different.
Here is my experience, I walked in for the first time and I was greeted I suppose nicely since I don’t remember anything out of the ordinary… I asked the reception if I could have a tour or look around and the head Trainer happened to be near me. He grabbed me and eagerly said sure. So after we chatted and looked at the training areas, he explained to me that I had to make an appointment with the Sales guy and I did conveniently for the following day.
The appointment with the sales guy was shorter then usual b/​c I had already seen most of the facility the day before. I enjoyed talking with him, at first it was like a lifestyle interview and I told him why I was there. I was very impressed with the whole place. The women’s dressing room is not smelly. There are fresheners everywhere. The showers, when I am there, are very clean. There’s not even hair caught in the drain, which is something I can barely tolerate.
98% of the time I get the exact cardio machine I want. There are TV’s with cable connected to most of the machines, requiring you to just plug in your earphones and you can watch TV while you workout. My one irk: these TV’s do not always work and this is annoying.
I am there 4 times a week for about 1.5 hours each visit. It IS very expensive, I pay a permanent $ 86 and some cents /​month for my membership — my rate will never go up. HOWEVER, your towels — they provide them and there are always plenty.
There is not one, but two hot sauna rooms available in the shower area.
Of cosmetic items they provide (and is included in the membership per month):
— Q-​tips, Cotton Balls;
— Body & Hand cream;
— Hair gel & spray;
— At least 8 hair-​dryers (there is usually always one available for me to use when I need it after a shower);
— Shaving cream (& disposable razors, by request);
— Shampoo & Conditioner (in the shower stalls);
So in the end I thought it was worth it although I haven’t needed to cancel anything yet. ;-)

Bravo b**ch at frontdesk with sh*** attitude! Thanks to you, Mansfield has lost one (or perhaps just another) potential client. I was just there to quickly take another look at this place as I had to take a decision between there and another gym. Well she made my decision unbelievably easy and I thank her for that. In an amazing demonstration of rudeness and attitude, that girl at front desk on November 11 at about 2:30pm had me literally running to MAA where I signed in on the spot.
I quote «This is a private club, we don’t let people walk around»…she said I had to sit down again with a sales rep and go thru the same questionnaire-​filling bs. All this with her mouth full of the lunch she was eating right at front desk… Oh ok, so that’s how you handle your prospective clients? I don’t even wanna start imagining how you treat actual clients, LMFAO! I guess I was lucky it was made so blatant for me to see. I actually feel for those getting ripped off day in and day out.
Besides…a weight room without even a basic pulley system, smelly locker rooms, charging $ 90/​mth plus fees? Kidding right?
