MOVATI Athletic Burlington - Burlington, Ontario

Been a member for 5+ years and this is easily the best gym I ever been to in Halton region. Wide selection of equipment for weight training and cardio. The downstairs area has ample amount of squat racks, huge cage, and a nice turf area. Locker rooms are always well maintained and cleaned multiple times per day. Steam room, hot tub, dry sauna, and swimming pool is amazing. Super friendly staff, never had any issues with anything in all my time here.

I really like this gym. Not overly crowded. Very clean and well maintained. Variety of different equipment depending on your goals. The Fuel Room has unique things for those who want to take their training to the next level.

Of all the gyms i’ve been to, their change room and shower area is the cleanest and nicest.

Have been a member at Movati in Burlington since 2018 and one of the best clubs has everything. Best part of the club is the pool hot tub sauna & steam room really relaxing and the maintenance team really takes care of the club even the smallest issues. Specially Steve who really goes out of his way to keep everything clean organized at the club everyone in the maintenance department really works hard. Have done most of the classes specially yoga, Aura, Emile, Amelia Allison Monika & Michelle who have been practicing yoga with the longest with are all amazing teachers have different ways & techniques for teaching yoga every instructor is really good & have also done meditation with Aura & Michelle feel peace of mind after meditation with both of them. I have also have been spinning with Katherine & Nicole both awesome spin instructors love there classes wish Nicole would get more spin classes. Mat Pilates is a lot of fun with Allison and really good instructor. Also have been with Elizabeth few times she is really good too really enjoy Pilates the most popular class. TRX is a good workout Sandra really gives a tough workout. I bought 24 personal training sessions with David see a big change in me David as a lot of knowledge & along background years of experience. Everyone at the front desk is fantastic including managers they really go out of their way for members. Gloria Christina Hallie & Evan everyone else at the front desk & juice bar really work hard & do amazing job. Ariana front desk manager really kind hard working really cares about the club & members. Out of all the clubs I have been a member Movati is the best one & really hope Movati expands to Calgary & Vancouver in future.

First and foremost I do not understand the bad reviews! This gym is super welcoming, Aidan signed me up and he was a joy to deal with. He was very upfront and honest and didn’t try to pressure me at all. He made the whole process so easy going and to be honest I wouldn’t have joined if he wasn’t signing me up because he was honest and straight to the point and wasn’t pushy at all, he was very interested in showing me how things work and all the amenities they have. I love how welcoming he was and how he cared about me actually going to the gym. The gym itself is HUGE AND SO CLEAN! I also don’t understand the issue with the sauna or jacuzzi cause both of those were working and they were super clean. Love this gym and I’m excited to start going. The amount of chill spots and the fact that it was well air conditioned and didn’t feel so hot and sweaty in there was amazing! They even have reformer Pilates which I got an amazing deal for and the women’s change room is like a salon!

EDIT: Movati just ruined the sauna in the women’s change room. It’s no longer infrared, removed seating areas & installed uncomfortable seats. Why am I paying $150 a month for this? Half way through my 1 year commitment.

1. Towels frayed with holes
2. Lockers missing hooks
3. Women’s side squat racks have no mirrors. This is actually a safety hazard.
4. Fuel area fans are aggressive and I can’t fully open my eyes. Also, why are the lights so bright now?
5. Pool - murky water on weekends and the temperature range is 75-85. When I came for the walk through I was promised 86. When I asked after signing up, they said “it’s a range.”
6. Pool - aqua fit people take over the pool one hour before class on weekends making the pool unusable from 8:30am-12pm.
7. Sauna - why is the light so bright? It use to be a peaceful place and now it increases cortisol
8. Showers - will the boiler ever be fixed? It’s been since December now that the temps are all over the place.
9. Hot yoga is just warm yoga.
10. The phone use in the women’s change room, sauna, showers and pool is out of control. If I wanted to be on camera I’d go to pure muscle and fitness

Also, I’ve provided feedback to Movati and not only did they not call me back they also have not made any improvements in months

I advise any woman who wants to join to find a better place to care for her health. When I joined, they told me i can pause my membership during my pregnancy however, when I got pregnant and not able to go. I asked to pause my membership however they said we dont have this policy. They will keep taking their fees and not pause your membership. Also, my year membership has been over and they still keep the membership. I have been charged for 3 months worth of fees while not even going once.

I don’t usually leave reviews, but after today I felt compelled to. I’ve been a long-time member at Movati Burlington and I just assumed that the Mississauga location would be even better — bigger city, higher population, and I thought the gym would look more impressive. But I was wrong. My visit to Mississauga made it so clear how differently that location operates compared to Burlington.

At Mississauga, I felt so uncomfortable that I actually canceled a class I had booked there, just so I could head back to Burlington on my way home. That’s how big the difference is. The Mississauga facility might look nice on the surface, but the upkeep and overall vibe just don’t compare. Meanwhile, Burlington is spotless, organized, and welcoming. There’s always someone cleaning, the lockers and bathrooms are fresh, and the environment feels like a true club — not just a gym. Hats off to the manager at Burlington, because the standard set here is exceptional.

I don’t think I’ll ever be returning to Mississauga unless I really, really have to. Burlington has raised the bar so high that it’s the only Movati location I trust and enjoy. Thank you to the Burlington team for making every visit worth it.

The front desk connected me with Mark Filice who runs a small group strength training program for women. This is an excellent program and a great value. I went into this class never having touched a barbell and now one year into the program am comfortable doing things like deadlifts, pushing heavy sleds and can even do a chin up! In this program I also got to meet two other trainers; Tyler and Adam, both of whom are excellent. I would highly recommend the small group strength training program run by Mark. I don’t think any other gym in the area offers a program like this.
