Was my first time at this location…read more Was working out with a buddy(who happens to have his personal training certificate) and was confronted by the so-called "Personal Training Manager" who asked my friend if he was a personal trainer, to which he replied "yes", then the manager stated we could not work out there, as he assumed my friend was training me, however this was not the case. This ordeal wouldn't have been an issue, if the manager had a little bit more tact and politeness about how he confronted this situation, however it was a let down, and he made us feel like we were unwelcome there. The manager seemed very sarcastic, not very direct and/or clear when answering us in regards to if we could continue to workout together. Overall, this put a damper on our workout session, and we felt we were being constantly watched by this manager. Needless to say, I will probably not workout at this location again...

Came to Barre Body Studio for the first time this weekend as part of Yelp's Club Fit!…read more The facility was beautiful with Barre studios (one larger than the other). The atmosphere was beautiful, bright, and clean! Glow Juicery is just inside to the left for a pre or post workout treat! I love that everything is made right in front of you and totally customizable! I love ANYTHING with ginger and kale - Yummy! Erin was the instructor for my class - super friendly and knowledgeable. She gave alternatives for lower impact options when it came to the cardio section. I was really surprised at the intensity of the class given the small movement/range of motion. I am confident the class could kick the fittest butt around as well as being modifiable for someone just starting to work out. Class was broken up into warm up, upper body with weights, lower body with a squishy ball, cardio, and ab work on eco friendly mats. They provide everything you need, including lockers with a key! They sell special footy socks that help you grip the floor if you like. I noticed on the wall that they were in the midst of a 30 day challenge, too! There were three large washrooms and beautiful vanity sink area complete with personal hygiene items if you needed to freshen up. If you are looking for a women only fitness class, definitely give Barre Body Studio a try!

Originally I got my membership at this location but I never had a chance to go work out there till this weekend. I believe this is the best location compare to all locations that I have seen in Edmonton and Calgary. I enjoyed the atmosphere. Even if it's busy, it has a lot of things and you don't need to wait for anything. The equipments are new and awesome and they have some machines that I haven't seen them in other locations. The change room and bathrooms were very clean. This location is my number one location!

My…read morefirst time at an indoor cycling studio was fantastic! ‍ The studio was very very nice and new looking on the inside, complete with showers, keyless lockers, a little boutique at the front, and a sweet waiting/changing area in the back by the spin room. I so loved the inspirational wall in the waiting room! Gotta first back and take one to read every single line lol! The red accent wall with sparkling silver writing gives the quick details for the class/studio, with a little spot for posing with your besties after an intense sweaty ride (lol). They have about 50 bikes , and the light show is pretty sweet! Everything timed out to songs, lights and ride intensity, with empowering and energetic instructors! Shoes can also be provided upon registering for your class online, which is great (since I have no spin shoes ). I love that it's great cross-training for those with elevated fitness/training goals! Great cardio and they incorporate arms and other body part exercises while busting those thighs Spin it up!

The class I did was a combination of pilates, yoga, and cardio, which got the heart pumping in the 30 min introduction. It was fun, but at a hefty monthly fee of $160 a month, it's a little out of my price range. That, and it's located pretty far south (8708 51 Ave) for a northsider. They do offer a newcomer promo for $40 for 2 weeks, and then you can decide whether this workout is for you. Check out their website (http://thesurfstudio.ca/), as they offer a bunch of different classes. I came here at night, and the place was really easy to miss. Ample free parking out front.

Oh! Wow... this is WAY harder then I thought it would be, but such a novel and really neat way to…read morework out and get in shape. At first I thought this would just be a easy and fun way to get a little workout in, but after doing it a few times I am really blown away by how this is a complete, full body work out that you really work hard at - but not in that "I hate this" kind of way. The studio itself is really beautiful and gives you that "I just rolled into Southern California" vibe. With cool blues and Hawaii/Cali chic decor. And then there is not enough amazing things I can say about the owner, Natasha. She is cool, fun, positive and amazing at Surf Set fitness. I caught the tail end of one of the kids classes; amazing! Kids from 3 - 10 were woking out and having a blast - this is definitely a wonderful way for children to work out in a small class setting. Time to Hang 10 Edmonton!

Everything you need at a gym!…read more Hot yoga at this location has fabulous instructors who do a great job facilitating and leading the practice, it is not included with membership though. This newer gym has pretty decent layout and has all the basics - machines,free weights, squat racks, 3 bench press stations, and one of my favorite a turf section that has sleds to push/ pull. There is also a private section just for personal trainers so you don't have to worry about how busy the gym is when you got a personal training session. Tons of cardio machines The spin class and workout room both have a virtual function that has a drop-down projector screen and a select your own virtual trainer/workout just in case there is no trainer booked when you need your workout. They have massage therapy clinic and free to use massage chairs OMG ( they're very epic). I believe there's a health/ nutrition consultant as well. The vending machine there has protein bars and powder , pre workout, snacks and tanning oils for there two tanning rooms on site ( stand up and lie down) I would probably boost to a five star if there was an Olympic lift section...

It was nice cause there were one ten members so it wasn't over crowded. The instructor was great at warming everyone up before jumping straight into vinyasa flow. My only complaint is that the floors of this gym really need to be vacuumed, there seems to be rocks, hair and dust throughout the change rooms, gym floors and yoga room. It would be also nice to see some basic amenities in the change room such as hair ties, q-tips and face wipes. I will keep coming as it is a super convenient location just steps from the Clareview lrt station.

I joined this club because my friend, Lydia, had been going there for years. As you can see by her…read morereviews here and on other Edmonton OTFs, she has definitely drunk the kool-aid. She challenged me to do their Transformation Challenge. She had won it a few years ago and thought I could too. I did everything they asked of me, including shift to a social media campaign to get the most likes. To many of the members surprise, they changed some of the "parameters" during the contest. I won but it wasn't a fair competition...I would have never joined if I knew it was ultimately a popularity contest. They never did recognize us, all the women who worked hard for our wins. I was asked not to attend to the celebration party. I was one of the two grand prize winners but it was all kept secret because of their failure to manage the contest honorably. I realized this is a very shady company that is much more interested in ego and money than doing the right thing by the members. The entire thing was crazy-making and uber-stressful. They deleted the entire women's contest and trying to cover up their mismanagement in the end...after they got their free social media marketing at our expense. If you want the proof, it's all right here: http://whereshegoes.net/blog/2019/03/28/red-theory-of-orange-theory-from-fitness-to-fight-club/ Make your own opinion. It was pretty embarrassing to watch a company that says it's all about community and health chose such a lowly, dishonorable path. Most of the members I was able to speak to before I was censored were shocked and upset by their (lack of) corporate direction on hate speech, harassment, and cyberbullying. I know a good dozen who actually quit because of this and many more said they would never set foot in an OTF. There are a couple of good coaches that I liked. I feel sorry for them but good people will never stay around here long. From what I see and hear, OTF treat their staff like crap. The HIIT workouts were decent though their "scientific workout data" is flawed and inaccurate. Ultimately, I know how important it is to support good companies so when I find one so completely toxic I can't be a part of that energy. Sooner or later it ends up hurting you...for me, it was sooner. Seems that OTF Edmonton just looks the other way if it gets them publicity. This is from the top. Blake, the president of OTF Canada treated me with total disregard and didn't even bother to hear me out. We had a 2 on 1 phone call where he and his marketing manager who both continually interrupted and spoke over me. They repeatedly commanded me to "get over it" and "move on" but refused to work with me to help me get there. I was stunned by Blake's lack of interest in what had happened in his little empire. It was clear through the 30 min conversation he had no idea what had transpired but kept spouting the same "let's sweep this under the rug" BS. They were completely unwilling to take responsibility and make it right. Management and ownership of the Edmonton OTF group are negligent and show zero integrity. You have been warned.

I frequent several OT locations in the Edmonton area, and this is my least favourite location…read moremainly because of the poor layout. This is probably the busiest OT location (no surprise being in the University/Whyte Ave area), but man is it squishy in there! When you first walk in the door, you'll notice right away there's a huge area for the desk and the seating area where everyone waits to get in for their session, but the area where the lockers are and where people often get changed is teeny. Seems counterintuitive to me, like you want to be mashed together like sweaty sardines while everyone (that's people finishing a session AND those coming in for the next session) tries to get into their locker at the same time. Similarly the 'floor' section (where one does weights, body weight, TRX etc) is quite small and squishy, so if you're doing a session where you run back & forth to the rowers, you risk getting an elbow in the face as you wind your way back to your floor station. It's positively claustrophobic in there. I also find the cleanliness of this OT to be the worst I've seen. I don't know how often these places get a proper clean, i.e. - floors and walls washed, and I think they rely on the orange lighting to hide the fact that things are stained and dirty. But when I hopped in the shower and noticed an inch of mould on the bottom of the shower curtain, and that the hair dryer absolutely caked with dust and whatever else, I was more than a little disgusted. I'd suggest going to a different location if you have the option, because the workouts are the same everywhere. I only go to this location when my usual is booked up and when it makes sense in terms of my other plans. Jasper Gates is the closest alternative - much larger and a lot less busy.
