# X Fitness

> Niagara Region's original 24-hour teaching gym in Port Colborne, Ontario. A welcoming, judgment-free gym where members are shown exactly how to work out — no experience required.

X Fitness is a locally owned 24-hour access gym founded by Gino Arcaro. Unlike big-box gyms, X Fitness operates as a "teaching gym" — every member gets guidance on proper technique, programming, and progression. The facility includes free weights, machines, cardio equipment, functional training areas, private change rooms, and dedicated class spaces for HIIT and Minus Zero sessions. Members have 24/7 keycard access; staffed hours provide personal coaching and onboarding for beginners.

Location: Port Colborne, Niagara Region, Ontario, Canada.
