Decent gym but hygiene issues persist

As a long-time member, I've noticed significant changes at the gym since COVID. It used to have a premium feel, complete with higher prices, complimentary workout plans, and a friendly atmosphere, but now it offers a more affordable model that has resulted in some unsupportive and unfriendly members. The hygiene standards have declined as well. On the plus side, the trainers are knowledgeable, and with just four experienced ones available, I recommend investing in personal training to maximize your results and make the most of your workouts during the busy evening hours. They charge 18,000 LKR for six sessions, which seems reasonable. Hygiene is a major concern for me. Water cans are stored in the men's bathroom, which doesn’t feel clean. The floors often show sweat marks, the mirrors are dirty, and general maintenance is lacking. Even the common areas outside the gym are poorly kept, contributing to the impression that cleanliness isn’t a priority. There are also no hand wash stations or hand sanitizers available, likely due to cost-cutting, so it’s wise to bring your own sanitizer. Recently, two treadmills were out of order, leading to some wait times during peak hours, but I appreciate that they addressed the issue and fixed most of the machines. Having a trainer around during busy times can help you stay on track with your workouts. Overall, it’s a decent gym if you opt for personal training, but the hygiene and maintenance aspects definitely need more focus.

Lack of Female Instructors Disappoints

I was a member for three months but had to quit due to the absence of female instructors in the ladies' section during evening hours. They only have one lady instructor in the morning, and she mainly just uses her phone to gossip. The ladies' gym area is in desperate need of renewal, as many machines and pieces of equipment are broken. There are no proper female instructors in the ladies-only section. I hope the owner and gym team can address these issues soon.

Room for Improvement at the Gym

Two trainers here really need to be let go; they behave as if we owe them something. The gym would definitely be better off without them. The other trainers are alright. It gets quite crowded, but the equipment is decent. However, they're raising prices four times a year, which is frustrating.

Poor service and unprofessional staff

Unless you’re getting personal training from Julia, she won’t show any concern for you. I signed up for an annual membership and when I approached her at the gym to ask about an exercise, she responded rudely with an angry expression, telling me to go find the person who provided me with the chart. Additionally, I noticed the manager gossiping and laughing with clients, which is unprofessional.

Incredible Trainer at Marine Fitness

As a visitor from the Maldives, I wanted to keep up with my gym routine during my recent trip to Lanka, so I joined Marine Fitness. There, I met an instructor named Shashi ❤️. She is an outstanding gym instructor who is incredibly motivating, supportive, and truly cares about helping me reach my fitness goals. Her positive energy inspires me to improve with each session. She clearly explains everything and patiently corrects my form. What really distinguishes her is her willingness to assist not just her assigned students but everyone around her, always ready to lend a hand with workouts. Even in just three weeks, the progress I've made is remarkable, thanks to her dedication and support. I highly recommend her to anyone in search of a trainer who genuinely makes a difference! Thank you so much, Shashi and the Marine Fitness team ❤️🏋️‍♂️💪

Excellent Training Experience

Training with Sashi has been fantastic – incredibly supportive and encouraging. The gym is nicely air-conditioned and equipped with plenty of machines, and I'm already noticing weight loss progress. I highly recommend it.

Great gym experience in the morning

This gym offers a great balance. There’s plenty of equipment to satisfy most gym enthusiasts, and the trainers are incredibly friendly. The best time to visit is in the morning when the gym is nearly empty; at this time, trainers are easily accessible and eager to assist in any way possible!
