Forever Young Fitness Center - Corner Brook, Newfoundland and Labrador

Scott&Allison S.

Forever Young Fitness Center used to be a standout in the local fitness community. For years, it had the right mix of equipment, atmosphere, and a solid community of members who genuinely cared about health and wellness. Unfortunately, that reputation is quickly becoming a thing of the past—largely due to the mismanagement and lack of leadership from the owner.
But it’s become painfully clear that the leadership is not only ineffective but actively harmful to the gym’s future. The poor business decisions and inability to manage staff, facilities, and customer relations are dragging this once-thriving gym into the ground.

Here’s what’s going wrong:

Maintenance and Cleanliness: Equipment is constantly breaking down and left unrepaired for weeks, sometimes months. Showers and locker rooms are barely cleaned, and hygiene standards have dropped drastically. For a place that once prided itself on cleanliness, this is a huge red flag.

Communication and Customer Service: Members are often left in the dark about schedule changes, closures, or policy updates. Attempts to get answers or raise concerns are usually ignored or met with vague promises that never materialize. Management is often unavailable or dismissive when approached directly.

Staff Turnover and Morale: Good trainers and staff are leaving, and it’s no surprise why. There’s a clear lack of support, direction, and accountability. New hires seem undertrained and unmotivated, and there's zero consistency in service.

Facility Decline: What was once a well-maintained, modern facility now feels neglected. From outdated equipment to basic amenities falling apart, it’s obvious the gym isn’t reinvesting in itself and it’s members who are paying the price.

No Vision or Growth: There’s no innovation, no community-building, no improvements. It feels like the gym is coasting—badly—on its past reputation. While other gyms evolve and respond to their members’ needs, Forever Young is stuck in neutral, if not reverse.

The tragedy here is that this gym could be great. It was great. But Management's failure to lead with vision, discipline, and care is turning Forever Young into a cautionary tale rather than a success story. Instead of investing in his members and facility, they are watching it deteriorate under their own management.

If Management doesn’t change course—or better yet, hand the reins over to someone capable—Forever Young Fitness Center won’t be around much longer. And that’s a shame, because the community deserves better.

I have had a membership and this gym off and on for years. I have found the owners of this gym exceptionally kind and friendly. I love the size and atmosphere at this gym. I have been to other ones in CB and have found that although the equipment may be newer there is very little space to workout. The only negative thing I can say is that the hours of operating are lacking and are such a disappointment. Opening up at 9am makes no sense given the fact it is a gym and there are pleny of people who like to work out prior to starting their work day. Please consider changing your hours to accommodate those who want to give your gym business but can't because of your operating hours. 7 am opening would be great 😉

Simple! At this point, all I want to see are 2024 membership rates. SR

Good gym, good price and has everything I’m looking for in gym at this time. Like that it’s a bit more open and spread out than the other gyms in town.

Reasonably priced with everything you need for a quality workout and a dry sauna to boot. Only 1 power rack is bit of a hinderance on crowded days.

Great facility. Sauna is awesome, showers are good too. Tracy makes the experience she's a doll.

This is a fantastic facility. The sauna and showers are amazing, and Tracy at the front desk was incredibly friendly and helpful 🙂
