Is the facility accessible outside of staffed hours?

Yes. The facility is accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week through personal entry codes issued to all members. This means you can train whenever it suits your schedule, without being limited to staffed hours. Staff are not on-site around the clock, but the facility is fully available to members at all times using their unique access code.

What is the difference between individual, partner, and trio personal training sessions?

Individual sessions are one trainer working exclusively with one client at $75 per session. Partner sessions involve two participants training together at $65 per person, which lowers the individual cost. Trio sessions bring three participants together at $55 per person, reducing the cost further while still providing professional coaching in a small, focused setting. Multi-session packs are available for individual training to reduce the per-session rate even more.

Do I need any prior fitness experience to join?

No prior experience is required. One on One Fitness is specifically designed to be welcoming to people who are just starting out, returning after a long break, or who have felt intimidated in commercial gym environments. The coaching approach focuses on building physical literacy from the ground up, so you learn how to move well regardless of where you are starting from.

What is Ferg's Weightlifting Club and who can join?

Ferg's Weightlifting Club is a small group weightlifting programme that runs on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays from 1:30 to 3:00 pm. It focuses on weightlifting fundamentals and physical literacy. While the club is particularly popular with seniors, it is open to everyone. It also offers a social component that many members find valuable alongside the physical training.

What payment methods are accepted?

One on One Fitness accepts cash, debit, and e-transfer. Credit cards are not accepted. This is a deliberate operational choice to keep costs low and avoid passing processing fees on to members.

Can I try the gym or a personal training session before committing?

Yes. New clients can try their first personal training session free of charge. If you are interested in a gym membership, a free one-week trial is available so you can experience the facility before signing up. Both options are designed to lower the barrier to entry and let the quality of the space and coaching speak for itself.

Does One on One Fitness offer training for youth and young athletes?

One on One Fitness has been a fixture in the Qualicum Beach fitness community since its founding. What has kept people coming back for 25 years is straightforward: genuine coaching, a private studio environment, and a commitment to building client independence rather than dependency. We teach you how to train, not just what to do today. That philosophy, combined with 24/7 facility access through personal entry codes, means your schedule never has to determine whether you get your workout in. This is one on one fitness coaching the way it should be: personal, honest, and focused on long-term results.

A lot of trainers keep clients coming back by keeping them guessing. That is not how we work. At One on One Fitness, the goal is to give you the physical literacy to train confidently on your own. We focus on teaching the why behind every movement so that over time you feel capable and in control, whether a trainer is present or not. This approach is what sets our private fitness studio in Qualicum Beach apart from both large commercial gyms and high-premium boutique studios. You get professional equipment, expert guidance, and the freedom that comes with truly understanding your own body.
