The community this gym has created is incredible and has kept me consistently going. The coaches are super fun, and the music is always changing. I’ve never been apart of such a supportive and encouraging space! ❤️

Huge fan! A really wonderful community with super fun, challenging workouts. The owner and trainers are all awesome: kind, professional, fun, welcoming. I’ve never been stronger or more engaged in my fitness and TFA is a huge reason why. The first few classes can be intimidating but if your experience is like mine, you’ll be welcomed by kind humans cheering you on as you get better and stronger. 10/10 recommend.

If you're looking for a gym that truly stands out, TFA is the place to be. Under its new ownership, the transformation this gym has undergone is nothing short of incredible. Forget about the reviews from three years ago – this is a completely different experience with a team that’s passionate about helping you thrive.

The coaches are genuinely invested in your success, offering guidance, encouragement, and personalized feedback that makes every session feel purposeful. The workout programming is meticulously curated, ensuring a balanced and progressive approach to fitness. There are dedicated days for legs, upper body, and glutes, so you can focus on targeted strength and development. And of course, there’s the crowd-favorite “Unbreakable” full-body workout twice a week, which is not only challenging but leaves you feeling empowered.

What really sets TFA apart is its inclusivity and attention to detail. Whether you're new to fitness or a seasoned athlete, the environment is welcoming, supportive, and motivating. They’ve even gone the extra mile with a chiropractor-led Mobility Sunday, ensuring you can recover and perform at your best.

This gym is more than just a place to work out – it’s a community, and the dedication to quality and member care is unmatched. Highly recommend giving TFA a try!

Just got back from my first class. Was promptly welcomed when I entered the gym by the coach, Zack. Gave me a quick intro into what was going to happen, then introduced me to another classmate who was a regular at the gym. This quickly eased the nerves of being in a new unfamiliar place. The class was great, (I participated in the “Upper Body” work out) 6 stations with 2 different exercises, 6 mins a station. Everything is written out for you on the mirror for quick reference. The class allows for flexibility in skill and fitness level. I’ll be back soon!

This gym is like a family, I've been a member for 3+ years. Great place to train, amazing coaches and instructors, and awesome members. They know that physical fitness is an essential part of being healthy, physically and mentally. I fully support their decision to not discriminate and I stand with them. 100000%

I was visiting Victoria for the weekend and found TFA on ClassPass. I am SO glad that I did because I had an amazing experience here! The work out was top notch and the people were even better. Zachary and Rob took awesome care of us. I will be back next time I’m in Victoria! Do yourself a favor and check this place out while you’re in town!

TFA is such an inspiring gym and community to be part of. When I first entered, Rob promptly said “welcome home”, which I thought was corny at first but it’s a pretty special environment that he and the other coaches have curated. I always leave class feeling like I’ve worked my butt off and it’s really motivating to see everyone around you working super hard. As an ex athlete, I gravitate towards a supportive team environment and TFA checks all the boxes. Highly recommend!

I cannot rave enough about my experience at The Fitness Academy.
I recently completed the two week intro offer to the gym. From day one, I was made to feel like one of the team. Everyone is super friendly and encouraging. The trainers are very knowledgable and there is a good focus on correct form when completing exercises. I truly found the gym to be a welcoming environment for all fitness levels. They play awesome music and you can have a great time while also dying from a kickass workout! Would recommend!
