I got a day pass to work out and they ended up giving me a pass for the next day free. The dumbbells went up to 130 lb which was surprising for a ymca. They had a great area for dead lifting as well. Had a wonderful workout there and will for sure go back next time I'm in Edmonton. Thank you to the staff there for being awesome

I have never seen a business deal with a problem so quickly. Thanks to Tyler, who got it all sorted…read moreout, and Joyce, who showed me around, I am now a happy patron of this establishment - meaning I love this gym! This place keeps the equipment in good shape and there is enough space and enough variety to allow all the people there to do their own thing. Also, the change rooms are clean and well set up. I have a one-month membership, with no credit card on file, and I look forward to renewing it regularly.

I've been training here with Devon Chang for a while and I definitely enjoy it. It has been…read moredifficult for me to get back into going to the gym these days, but having a trainer makes a huge difference. One thing that is great about it is that if you're into cardio (like me) you will never have an issue finding a cardio machine because everyone there weight lifts. It's also never too busy so that is a plus, especially during this time. In terms of COVID safety, I think they're doing well. Masks and sanitizer everywhere as well as barriers between all the machines. I feel safe enough.

I came for a group trial class last month and loved it!…read more If I lived southside I would be looking at drop in passes or membership here no doubt! The owner, Shara, taught us a group class and I loved it! She asked us about any injuries and took the time to come around and check in with us during our circuits for any modifications required. You'd be surprised how 30 second stations can kick challenge you yet leave you with enough energy to keep going. The warm up with the bands around our ankels, knees, and thighs was super challenging but also somehow stabilizing and didn't both my knees or back one bit! I loved the teamwork and atmosphere. The location is a bit off the beaten track in an industrial area but not a big deal. The inside is absolutely gorgeous! I noticed a sign that they also have "cold baths" and a "sauna." Sounds like the perfect way to end a workout here! I would absolutely recommend SVPT to anyone looking to challenge their fitness routine!

The other morning after some local MMA fights (and maybe a bit of overindulgence in the Strongbow…read moredepartment) I dragged my face off my pillow and joined my partner and other local mma fighter at SVPT to see what the hype is all about. I train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at Complete Martial Arts and Fitness alongside some of the best MMA fighters in the city, including a couple UFC fighters - they all do personal training at SVPT and only say the best things about owner Shara Vigeant and her facility. Upon my 9am arrival at the centre, I was greeted at the door by 2014 Global Women of Vision 2014 award recipient Shara herself. She was bright eyed and bushy tailed with a smile and showed me where to put my things. After taking a gander at the walls lined with signed glossies of winning athletes singing Shara and her trainers' praises, she had me sign a waiver and get right out on the turf. Our session started with a warmup. We did a bit of foam rolling, some stretches, box jumps, chucked a medicine ball around. I started breaking a sweat right away, but I wasnt uncomfortable. As we were working, Shara asked me about previous experience with working out, the gym, my jiu jitsu classes, etc. I am a complete beginner and have never experienced any form of serious gym workout or personal training. I was in for a treat! I had a great time sweating my ass of and hauling my weight around. I was amazed to see the strength and stamina of the athletes I was working alongside. The workout was quick paced and interesting. Absolutely challenging and even fun. I learned how to swing a kettle bell around, use some resistance bands, do squats with an elevated leg (tough one!) and even pushed a weighted sled back and forth - all the while thinking: My ass is gonna look great. The SVPT facility is incredible. Larger than I thought it would be and Immaculately clean. The air is fresh and moving, clean towels and access to water bottle refill station are available to clients. I'm no expert on what makes for up to date things at the gym, but the equipment seemed new, modern and well maintained. Half of the floor is green astroturf (all the better to push a sled across, i guess!) The garage style door at the back allows for natural light to come in as the sun comes up. After my session, I mopped the sweat from my head and headed towards the change room to shower and change. The beautiful modern change rooms were like walking into a washroom in a showhome - except times six! A line of sparkling showers with temperature controlled taps (not like the push-button, lukewarm and timed showers at gyms and pools) were closed in their own cubicles with private changing area. Clean sinks and well lit mirrors (even a little basket with some toiletries you may have forgotten) would make SVPT a great place to start your day and still be able to freshen up before work and taking on your day. (did I mention how clean it is? You know me... I like my public places clean!) All in all, I have to say I'm actually shocked that I appear to be the first review of this place! I had a great time, have nothing but great things to say about SVPT. Shara was an enormous help every step of the way, ensuring my posture was correct and pushing me to move forward. It was definitely a treat to see what all the fuss is about! I will make a habit out of this.

I'm a bit obsessed with Fitset. It's no contract, which is amazing, and if you're like me and you…read moreneed variety in your workouts (sometimes climbing, sometimes yoga, sometimes weight training, etc), it's almost definitely cheaper than having separate memberships (or scouring Groupon for gyms like I used to do before I found Fitset). You have access to normal things like spin and barre, and then fun weird things like surfing, aerial yoga, pole classes, trampoline fitness... I've been a member for almost a year and I'm constantly impressed with the new additions to the schedule. I highly recommend giving it a try (which is easy, since they have a free trial period)!

Coach Keenan was very passive aggressive, slightly rude and you could tell took every opportunity…read moreto do skills rather than actually teach. He was not encouraging and focused on the things that we could not do. A lot of the equipment was quite run down and taped together with duct tape, etc. Others coaches were fairly nice and encouraging. I definitely think Keenan and the other female coach took it way too seriously.

The MacEwan sports centre, which is located downtown, just east of some of the university admin…read more buildings, is a great place to work out or meet for a game of badminton or tennis. Parking's a bit of an issue, but if you're lucky enough to get a meter spot close to the entrance from the back at around 105 St, then you've got it made. The badminton courts are usually half-full, so just bring a racquet and shoes and you're ready to go. The work-out facilities are good, and the price is right. It's a great alternative for both students and the rest of the commmunity to membership at a private club or older city facilities. This sports centre is fairly new and has everything you need to get in a good, fast workout in a clean, spacious environment, without all the testosterone or intimidating buffness of more serious gyms.

When I went to MacEwan I loved using this gym. They have everything you need, weights, cardio…read moreequipment, a pool. They do have peak hours and non-peak hours, and students are only allowed during a certain time. The best time is during the day around 2 or 3pm. It was least busy at these times so you didn't have to worry about waiting to use some equipment since the place is smaller than you would expect. If you are a student here you should definitely take advantage of the facility.

Yes, absolutely, this club is a Hidden Gem. The other reviewer, Samson, said it, and so did my wife…read morewhen I first brought her and showed her around. The coolest thing to do it walk a new person around the gym and see their face, because it just keeps on going! Cliff and the staff are awesome and they keep the gym in excellent condition. If something is down - it's address right away. I've been coming here on and off for over a decade. If I move out of the city for a while and then come back, one of the first things I do is call Cliff, the manager, and ask, "Hey Cliff, can I come back?" The answer is always an exuberant "yes." The thing about this club, many of the members here have been members for a long, long time. As you train, you will make friends, and they will razz you if you miss a day. It definitely is a second home.

This is a hidden gem on the south side of Edmonton. If you're looking for a 20 000 sq ft venue on…read morethe south side that has a pool, squash courts and a full gym this is the place. I've been coming here for over a decade, and one of the most important things is that it never seems full. In fact I was debating whether or not to put it onto Yelp! It's got one of the best steam rooms I've been in , it's a full blast of detoxifying steam that makes me head there even when I'm hungover. It's got two full sized gyms. What's nice is that they have a mixed gym and a guys only gym . This plus the "no attitude" attitude of the staff there makes the main gym a meat - head free zone. Best things about this gym? 1. Great mix of equipment 2. Really Fantastic staff 3. The ability to mix things up, gym/swimming/squash in my routine Worst things? 1. No classes 2. No lockers you can pay to rent for the day, it's either bring a lock or buy a lock 3. Brain teasers. What kind of gym has brain teasers?! As if working out wasn't hard enough.
