Okay listen aside from the kind of, well, very high pressure sales tactics they used to get me in…read morehere, nothing they said was invalid and at the end of the day, they were mostly right about everything and I've been 100% happy with my experience. Every gym employs these same sales tactics so, at this point it's nothing new. And besides, if you didn't have someone telling you to get your butt to the gym you probably wouldn't go to start with. My story: I have a triple curve scoliosis in my spine. I've been living with back pain my whole adult life and it was starting to make me very miserable, chronic pain all the time. After chatting about this with my sales consultant they recommended Josh Deck as my personal trainer to address this issue and also my weight loss goals albeit they're the lesser of the two issues. I will say this, the small price I've paid to see him 12 times has resolved my daily back pain 100%. He's got me working hard but also being realistic about what I can manage in my day to day life and routine. It's been so helpful in fact I'm going to keep training with him for as long as I can. I cant say enough great things about Josh as a trainer but I am a special case, training may not be useful for everyone but certainly useful if you've got goals, timelines or a special case injury. The facility: has everything you need and the group classes are included in your very basic monthly membership and they have a very rich schedule to suit everyone's needs. Things are clean and there is always a cardio machine even at 5PM! ALSO - If you have kids, they have a day care facility right in the gym for a tiny little $4 fee for 2 hours. I came to this same Worldhealth in 2005 and left because at the time it was very male centric and desperately needed renos. Which now, the renos are great, layout is functional, they replace broken things quickly, change rooms are nice and honestly the staff know my name and are super helpful and friendly to me all the time. The price is competitive. The location is easy to get to. Free no hassle parking. All girls room which is nice for those awkward times. The demographic is also completely mixed in age, gender and body types. I'm happy and would recommend it to friends for sure :)

Please stay far FAR away from this gym…read more they have super deceptive business practices especially against young adults that will lock you into contracts and coaching you do NOT need. I had no idea what i was getting into years ago when i signed up for this gym, i thought i was getting a good deal on coaching and the place looks nice, but the payments will drown you. If you ever think about canceling, good luck. They will only freeze your account, and force you to pay the full years long term + some extra hidden fees. Save yourself the stress and go to literally any other gym in Calgary, hands down this is the worst one I've ever went to throughout my whole life.

I joined Evolve Strength with high hopes of reaching my fitness goals. However, my experience was disappointing due to the lack of certified trainers. It's concerning that the trainers at Evolve Strength do not have proper certification, as this raises doubts about their expertise and ability to guide clients safely and effectively. Without certified/ credited trainers, there's a significant risk of injuries, which is unacceptable for a fitness facility that prides itself on helping clients achieve their fitness goals! The reason I gave it 4 stars on google reviews and not one because if you put one star.. you won't be able to see your review anymore!!!! even with that you still wont be able to see it!

Here are my reasons: (1) absolutely no customer service as it relates to your policies. You have access to an email that goes to who knows where and no one really knows whats going on; (2) in connection with item #1, they adopt and enforce absolutely ridiculous policies. I was a member of the Vancouver branch and wanted to transfer to the Calgary branch. I was told this was impossible. Instead, my options were to "upgrade" my membership at double the monthly rate or cancel my Vancouver membership, re-enroll with Calgary and pay the initial joining fee again; (3) there's no water fountain. This one is actually extremely bizarre. How can it even be legal to permit people to work out in an environment where dehydration can only be mitigated by waiting for some guy to finish his business in the washroom so that you can desperately access to sink taps? I know its a "no frills" gym but, Fit 4 Less, is a water fountain really a "frill"? At this point, your members may even settle for a garden hose attached in the alley. Don't sign up with this gym. I realize the price point "appears" worth it, but trust, there are better ones out there with similar or the same prices. (World Gym in Calgary for one).

If you want to get serious about getting fit call Colin and show up, take that first step and he will keep you going until you hit that goal. I 100% recommend this trainer.

I went to the gym to avail the Black Friday deal that they offered one of my friend and because it was close to where I live. The person first told me that they don't have the same deal and offered me another deal which made me pay more. I told the guy that my friend was told it is still available and left the gym without signing the contract. I got a call from the gym during Box Day and told that a similar deal is now available but when I went to the gym at first they said that the deal has ended and then when I told them I got a call from the gym they reluctantly gave me a deal which was close to the original deal but still made me pay more. The guy told me it is a one year contract and after one year I can cancel the contract or it will auto renew. After I joined the gym I realized it was not Gold Standard as advertised. The equipment were old and frequently out of service. The personal training session were too costly and the locker rooms where dirty. So after one year and before my renewal I asked the gym to cancel my membership and I was told I still have to pay for another year of annual membership fees and any payment falling in 30 days which technically meant 3 bi-weekly payments. Even after telling the gym that it made no sense for me to pay to annual membership when I am informing you before my renewal date. At this the gym told me that I had signed a contract which says that I need to inform them 30 days in advance and refused to pay me back my money. Please don't go by the marketing campaigns and join another gym that gives you better value for your money.

I love that every Wednesday they have a maintenance crew that comes through and fixes all the machines or anything else that needs it so things are always working. I've been to gyms where equipment was broken down and not able to be used for months. This place is also extremely clean. Never seen any place with as many people in and out as this one gym or otherwise that is this clean all the time. The staff are the best part.

Also ladies, there is a full ladies gym, not one of those tiny ladies areas some gyms have a full sized club attached. I can't go in as a guy, but have heard all about it from some ladies that are members and it sounds like it's just as good as the co-Ed part I get to use there. Definitely recommend.
