New Equipment at Jim's Gym
Jim's Gym has introduced a new, state-of-the-art, 12 station circuit training facility. Our members are able to participate in a complete workout in just 30 minutes.

Jim's Gym "Big Bike" Team one of top fund-raisers for Heart and Stroke Foundation in Parksville
We would like to thank all our members and friends who participated in the Big Bike Ride to raise funds for the Heart & Stroke Foundation. The riders had a great time screaming their way around Parksville city centre. We even almost got stuck coming up the hill from the Parksville Beach -- but luckily our very fit team managed to get off and push the Big Bike over the top!
The Jim's Gym Bike Bike team topped the list of teams raising funds for the Heart & Stroke Foundaion and for that we are all extremely grateful. Through your efforts and generosity, our team raised in excess of $3674.00!
Enjoy the photos!
