This little gym was my home away from home when I lived on Gabriola. The owners are the loveliest people, the training sessions were super helpful, and I still use them today at my current gym. I still buy a drop in pass when I visit - GFC I miss you!

Jo-Jeff and Tasha have definitely created -- maybe more so 'nurtured' into existence -- a wonderful space and place and (one of) my happy place(s) on Gabriola. And more than being just a 'bricks and mortar' site, they have managed to not just bring the community into the gym, but to make it feel like the gym and the programs, classes and events are infused into the community, too. It's such a safe, welcoming, non-judgemental place to improve fitness.

Not always staffed, but management made it easy to organise to get in. Small but great use of the space. It's got almost everything you need. Good quality, old school plate loaded machines. Great quality rogue barbells and rogue bumper plates, and dumbbells going up to 100lbs. I appreciated the massive amount of equipment in the functional area especially the ballet bar. I'll be back!

I’ve been a member for over 4 years since moving to Gabriola and have found it to be an awesome gym to workout at on the island. The owners Jo-Jeff and Tasha are lovely people, there’s a variety of equipment, and there’s usually a lot of room when I workout so it doesn’t feel cramped. Grateful for the Gabriola Fitness Centre and its positive impact on the community.

The online classes at Gabriola Fitness Centre are absolutely top-notch! There is a great variety of live classes to attend, as well as a huge library of recorded classes. Tasha-Mae is a very talented instructor who makes showing up to work out an absolute joy. She delivers workouts suitable to all fitness levels and really cares about meeting the needs of each person in class. These online classes feel very personal - full of warmth, laughter, and great music. Further, I find the monthly membership for unlimited live and recorded classes to be very well priced, cheaper than attending classes at my local urban community centre. I love working out at home while staying safe and saving on travel time and childcare costs. Total win!
