Ali was excellent. He took his time to break everything membership options down, what works best for me and how I can achieve what I need at the right cost. Most are dismissive if you seek extra help especially with big clubs like Movati but I got lucky.
Thanks Ali
About MOVATI Athletic Barrhaven
At Movati Athletic Barrhaven, there is a welcoming environment supported by state-of-the-art equipment, resort-like facilities, and a variety of group fitness classes and activities. The staff is friendly and helpful, with a strong emphasis on professionalism from the front desk to the custodial team. Many appreciate the club's cleanliness and maintenance, which contribute to an enjoyable fitness experience. While the gym can get busy, especially during peak times, the membership experience remains decent, with good equipment available. However, some members note that gym etiquette could improve, as younger staff and clients often socialize instead of focusing on their workouts.
Additionally, some amenities, such as the dry sauna, could use an update, and there are suggestions for clearer rules and reminders for new members about respecting others. Parking is another concern, as the current spaces may not suffice for the number of visitors. The single entrance and exit have raised safety issues, particularly during busy times, highlighting the need for re-evaluation of the facility's design. Overall, Movati offers a solid fitness experience, but there is certainly room for improvement in areas such as parking and customer etiquette.

I’ve had such a positive experience with my personal trainer, Kamand, at MOVATI. She is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely invested in helping me reach my goals. Despite being young, she has an impressive level of expertise and brings so much energy, enthusiasm, and positivity to every session.
What I appreciate most is that she takes the time to understand my needs and always makes sure the exercises are appropriate, challenging, and done with proper technique. She is encouraging without being overwhelming, and I always leave my workouts feeling motivated and accomplished.
I’m also very grateful to Mehran Emadi for all his support. I am happy… read full review
Love this gym, don't see myself switching anytime soon. Very clean with kind staff and quality machines.
On a side note; my trainer Jeremiah is just the best! Have made tons of progress in just a few weeks. Also such a kind soul.
