The Trekfit gym in Griffintown has been operating under the Bonaventure Expressway at the southern end of Peel Street for two years and it is growing in size and popularity.
As many people cut back on luxuries to save a little money, like their health clubs and gym memberships, that doesn’t need to be the case at the Trekfit gym in Griffintown.
The outdoor facility has been operating under the Bonaventure Expressway at the southern end of Peel Street for two years and it is growing in size and popularity.
From cardiovascular workouts to heavy-weight training, this gym has almost all the equipment literally under one roof.
One of the biggest selling points is the price — there is no charge. The free workout space really caters to those who are on fixed incomes or people who don’t have any revenues at all.
“Here, they can come anytime in the day and they can do their thing,” Youri Juteau, a fitness enthusiast, told Global News.
Juteau made some of the permanent exercise structures himself and spent thousands of dollars of his own money to provide the workout equipment.
“It’s simple but for me, it’s like a life project to share with people,” he said.
His investments and efforts are paying off.
