I am almost 50 and needed to reclaim my health, and after 1 month, I feel like l am on the right path, thanks to the team of coaches and the great group of people that participate in the variety of classes they offer.

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.

Fitset???!!! If you…read morehaven't tried it you must! Imagine yourself driving down your neighborhood think "hmm... I would love to try that Barre studio, or that yoga place... Wait crossfit what's that about? Well if you had a fitset membership you could go to all those places and more. I love my fitset membership because not only do you get to try new things, you have the opportunity to meet new people and get more involved in the community. The best part about Fitset is that they give you a free trial so you can experience it before you decide to commit yourself to a month or more. O did I mention no contract? The Fitset team are everywhere from hosting fun events to pop ups in Lululemon or special affairs like FitFest. If you need technical support involving your membership they are quick with resolve. Yes I highly recommend just trying the free trial, you never know you might get addicted to being healthy and having fun ;)

After a really bad fail trying to get into another gym, (see S&M Fitness review) I drive away…read moreagitated, and stumble across this little gem! Located in the basement of an old looking building, this well kept, well appointed fitness centre feels like a broken in pair of boots that you've taken really good care of, oiled the leather, replaced the soles, and now you couldn't imagine life without them. Owned for the last 12 years by a super nice and friendly woman, all the kinks have been worked out, they have pretty much everything a person would want in a gym, and it's all spaced nicely with good amounts of room to perform exercises. I did circuit work a couple days, heavier lifting a couple days, so I used pretty much everything there except cardio equipment since the weather was nice and I ran around outside. Everything I used functioned perfectly, with plenty of attachments for all the machines. I've reviewed lots of gyms, but I've never seen the benches and machines they have at adrenaline. They use Magnum and Equalizer equipment. (80's TV show theme?) Nothing fancy or complicated, but always nice to work on something a little new and different. They offer free towel service, and sell water and Gatorade out of a bar fridge by the desk. I went to buy water on two occasions, but both times the person working (once the owner, once a staff member) gave it to me free, despite my having talked to them and them knowing I was just passing through town. They have a reasonably priced $6.00 drop in, or ten visits which don't expire for $50.00 - when I explained I was only in town for a week, the owner offered to sell me a "half ten visit pass" for $25.00. Really felt like they tried to give me good value for what I had come to do. The woman who owns the place is super great. Single mom, running a gym, we talked about the challenges of running a business and getting by. There's an older man and a young girl who is recovering from a major illness who also work there, I think that's about it for staff. The young woman is also really friendly, a wife and mother. Didn't talk as much with the guy, but he gave me one of the free waters, so obviously also a nice person. This is definitely my choice in Camrose, I'll give them my business 100% of the time. Thanks, Adrenaline Gym!

I'm already a fan of Vacancy Hall even though the day I went only had two businesses open…read more Leprechaun FX was open and their store is right at the back of the hall and specializes in boutique guitar pedals. I had in fact heard of them just because my husband is a massive music nerd and loves all the gear that comes along with guitars. Next to them is Saraswati Designs with a beautifully laid out space displaying so much jewellery! Such variety, I was in there for ages! And, they have a sale table with some great deals! The hall itself is found underneath the Mercer building. Enter the Rostizado entrance but head downstairs to a cool quirky communal studio space. They make a point of hosting upcoming designers and local entrepreneurs. I want to go back and enjoy all the stalls they have set up in there, especially the one who makes those 'Still In Edmonton'Shirts. This place is definitely worth checking out if you find yourself downtown, or looking for an unusual gift, or just wanna know about some cool happenings in our great city!

Vacancy hall is in the basement of the Mercer building. When you go down the stairs there is a…read morerestaurant on your left (used to be a coffee shop) and a retail store on your right (door is usually closed which prevents customers from entering IMO). Once you go past these two businesses there is a small foyer where the bathrooms can be accessed then double doors going into Vacancy Hall. Within the Hall there are walls and garage door style doors for 6-7 separate businesses. They're all on the side which creates a central space for events. Since it's a basement the ceilings feel a little low but it's actually quite practical. Exposed tubes, pipes, and ducts give it some ambiance as does the painted mural on the far back wall. The communal event space can be used to throw parties, concerts, charity events, etc. Most of your equipment will need to be brought in though. They have a few tables, lighting, and garbage cans you can use which is thoughtful. Any audio equipment, seating, and decorations would need to be brought it. The legal capacity is 195 people but the 2 bathrooms available are single use locking doors which wouldn't work for a group that size. I don't know each of the stores that have rented spaces in the Hall but each location probably deserves it's own Yelp profile so I guess that's a job for another day!
