Poor excuse for excercise! I bought a living social deal for bootcamp classes at 403 fitness and…read morewas so disappointed. First of all it was hard to find as their sign doesn't say 403 fitness. Second the inside looks like a garage. With little equipment the "trainers" set up like 10 stations and after a lame warm up where the "trainers" pretend to be militant standing there and yell orders at u. U go through the stations for a min. Or 45 seconds. After u do this a couple times they go right into a stretch and don't bother doing a cooldown. This totals 45 min. That doesn't even get ur heart rate up long enough to burn fat. Don't waste ur $$$$

I disagree completely with the previous reviewer. This is a great boot camp for those of us who…read morehave been intimidated by the stark atmosphere of traditional gyms. My mother and I both started at this boot camp six months ago and love the easy-going atmosphere. The trainers are very personable and never bark orders at anyone. They make you feel comfortable, whether you're in great shape or haven't worked out in months! I have asthma and it's essential I have a good warm up before I exercise, and I can tell you I've never had a problem with it at these camps. I always feel warm when we start the workout. The trainers are very creative with the workouts, pulling something new out of their hats every day. They include a great mix of circuit stations, obstacle courses, crossfit-style training and all sorts of variations of interval training. They even do a fitness test every 5 or 6 weeks (I believe) so you can see how much you're progressing. The equipment they use is very basic, but they get great results with simple supplies like skipping ropes and medicine balls. I always leave feeling like I had a great workout, and usually with a smile on my face! I can tell you that this camp has changed my life. I've never been a "gym" person, and I had never done a boot camp before, but I am addicted to this class. I now go 4 or 5 days a week -- and so does my 52-year-old mother -- and I'm stronger than I have ever been in my life. Some say the building is tricky to find, but if you check their website they clearly say that the boot camp is in the facility for No Limits AFC. We found it quite easily. I love this boot camp and highly recommend it to anyone who likes to have a little laugh while they're working out in a group!

I've been to Kensington Fitness a few times with a friend who has been a member for a couple of…read moreyears. She loves the personal training and the friendly atmosphere. I couldn't agree more. The staff literally know the name of everyone who comes in. The gym is quite small, there are no extras (hot tub, pool, running track, etc.), but they have all of the equipment I could ever need. Some of the cardio equipment is a bit old, but I think they are upgrading it soon. My most recent visit was on Tuesday evening for the Boot Camp class. I've been to a few other boot camp style classes before, some at bigger gyms, and some held by private trainers outdoors. The boot camp at Kensington Fitness was more expensive (for non-members it's $25 per class if you pre-buy 6 classes, or $30 per drop-in class) but worth the price if you are looking for personalized attention. There was only three of us that day, so it felt more like a group personal training session because the trainer was able to watch all of us and give us our own feedback. In one hour we worked through 5 stations, each with 3 sets of 3 activities. I had done a few of the basic activities before on my own, but most were modifications to basics that I will continue to incorporate into my future work outs. I haven't become a member yet because I get a free gym pass at the University. But I'm thinking of getting the 6-pass for the boot camp. Even just to go every couple of weeks and learn some new moves :)

This is probably the least pushy gym I have ever been to. I went in a few months back to pay for a…read moredrop-in session and came out impressed. I have gone back a number of times since then. The staff is particularly nice. They don't both you and tend to stay out of your way unless you need them and then they're as friendly as ever. The gym itself is relatively small but the amount of equipment in there is amazing. There is actually a designated space to do pylometrics and free weights which I greatly appreciate. Cardio machines, weight machines, accessories (ankle and arm weights, steps, mats, medicine balls, exercise balls, etc.) are all available. I have never had trouble with the gym being crowded or equipment being unavailable. Showers and change rooms are quite clean (hairdryers and small toiletries are available in the change rooms); lockers are available (bring your own lock); and the gym equipment is quite clean as well. They have a smoothie bar for your post-workout snacks and I've seen many clients stay and chat with staff for a few minutes before leaving. I haven't seen any pervy guys here (hurruh!) and clients are typically quite polite. Bonus features: Free towel service Low fees ($10 drop-in fee, approx $720 for a year-long membership) Free parking Staff is accommodating to customers (not vice versa a la World Health)

I am beyond impressed with this place!…read more I moved to Calgary from Vancouver looking for a gym with flexible hours. This place offers 24hr FITNESS and TANNING. It is staffed during the day and early evenings which means you can make an appointment with a trainer, or have questions answered. Rob, the owner, is AMAZING. He really makes an effort to get to know all of the members, and is incredible at building rapport. ALL business owners could learn from him! Also, the staff is incredible. All very friendly and nonjudgmental, ready to answer questions pertaining to health at anytime. The other patrons of the gym are also very friendly. Ages range from late teens to early 70s- I never feel out of place or uncomfortable. This gym offers a variety of cardio equipment (you NEVER have to wait for a machine), has a weight circuit, a large free weight area, and a mid-size 'studio' area. Also, for those who tan, it offers one tanning bed which is NEW and LARGE. I work shift work and tend to be a night owl, sometimes THE ONLY time I have to get a work out/tan in is at 3am- this place TOTALLY meet my needs. For UNLIMITED tanning and Gym access I pay around $63.00, without the tanning it would be about $18 less- VERY REASONABLE. Also, they offer month to month plans so you don't have to sign a contract if it's not for you. I urge anyone who is considering joining a gym in the SW to stop in and take a look around, if you awesome fitness amenities don't win you over the friendly staff totally will.

Hands down, the friendliest, most caring team of fitness professionals at this location. When…read morethere was an error processing my membership this team came in to make it all right again. Every time you step in to the gym at this location, one of the trainers will greet you. Every single time. They make you feel comfortable and like you belong there. And you'll always be able to speak to at least one trainer during staffed hours. You never have to wait around to speak to someone about a concern or general fitness. If you're looking to join a community made up of competent and caring individuals committed to your health, go here. The morning crowd (both trainers and gym-goers alike) is exceptionally enthusiastic and pumped! Which is helpful at 6am on a Monday morning.

I've been twice now and I like it…read more At first, the lack of mirrors really through me off. How was I supposed to check my form? The second time I went back, I attended the Basics class and it was great. They started with low weight to help me "feel" my form and then built up from there. What I like about it: - A great range of equipment, - energetic classmates and instructors, - it's half way between my place and my boyfriends so it's convenient for both of us - there's parking and I don't have to pay to park there - I like that workouts get switched up daily and I feel like I'll be fitter and stronger two weeks from now. What I don't like about it: - I still sort of want the mirrors but this is a big no=no in cross fit - it was a tiny bit intimidating at first but I think that's the case with every new gym I've ever tried. Seriously. I just need to get over that.

I've been meaning to write this review for quite sometime but it slipped my mind. I started at RCR…read morein 2013 after being introduced to the gym through a friend who coached at the gym at the time Ben. Immediately I felt welcomed by the coaching staff who spent much more time with me then they had to. I remember one instance within my first two months where coaches and owners Ken and Bryan spent over an hour after class working with me on my snatch, I must have gone through over 100 reps in that hour and I learned so much about positioning and speed. Coach Dylan did the same thing for me with muscle ups the following month and eventually I got one. It's hard to remember all the times that coaches spent extra time with me after or before class(and we would be here all day if I told you), but I can tell you that had to be hundreds during my nearly 3 years at Ramsay. The Classes at Ramsay are a hour long each but often you'll find people show up quite early to stretch and socialize with other members. The format generally consists of a warm up then a strength or skill portion followed by a Metcon. The strength portion and metcons are almost always programmed as a part of a bigger picture with a focus on certain skills whether it be Olympic lifting, Gymnastics, Conditioning or any combination of those and I saw very consistent and steady improvements during my time at Ramsay. If your looking to get into Olympic weightlifting RCR also has a barbell club which is fantastic. I spent the majority of my last year with RCR working on Olympic lifting with coach Geoff. He also led me through my first weightlifting competition which was a blast. The barbell club has to be one of the funnest group I've ever had the pleasure to train with and I've made some great friends through the club. If I had one final thing to say about RCR I would say that most people walk through the doors hoping to get fit but the reason most people stick around is because of the community, I made a lot of great friends during my time at RCR and had some great experience as a result of my time there.

If this gym were not so inconveniently located for those coming from downtown after work, I'd…read moreprobably still be going. I've only tried the CrossFit classes here, but they also offer various martial arts such as Muay Thai and Brazilian Jujitsu. The facility is divided between a very large floor mat sparring area, a full sized fighting octagon, and a functional fitness area for CrossFit (pull up bars, barbell racks, jumping boxes, etc.). The men's "change room" consists of a small semi-closed off cluster of lockers in the main gym area. The women have an actual room. Being located in an industrial park, there is plenty for parking. The CrossFit classes at this location differ from the others I have tried insofar as they tend to be consistently focused on constant high rep, high intensity intuitive exercises (e.g. box jumps, kipping pull ups, push up pyramids, crunches) and a few barbell moves. This is in contrast to some other CrossFits where you can spend a significant portion of a class working on developing a particular "functional" movement like a headstand, barbell combos, or some kettle bell manoeuvre. If you're looking for an efficient calorie burning, stamina building workout class you can dive into without much of a learning curve, try this place.

My teenage son just joined this gym. He took full advantage of the 7 day free trial. Which really…read morehelped him decide this was the place for him. From the first time he walked in the owner, Tim was so friendly and welcoming. I expected a bunch of crazy juice monkeys. Boy was I wrong. A big mix of people train here. Kids to grandmas and top athletes in between. Everyone has completely welcomed my son and encouraged him to stick with it. I'm excited to see my son progress and gain strength and stamina for his future in criminology. My son has taken advantage of their cross/cage fit classes in the morning. And his membership includes Jujitsu (or Muay Thai) which he'll start soon. We highly recommend this gym.
