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.

It's taken me a few good years to really commit to a gym. The last time I did was at World Heath…read moreand it was such a horrible experience I thought I would never do it again. Downtown gyms are really horrible. Just let me get that out first. I finally chose Anytime because they ARE NOT/DO NOT HAVE: Absurd prices, crowds, Iinitiation fee, activation fee, towel fee, pushy sales people. What do they have? 24 hr access, towel service, individual shower rooms, awesome trainers that know you by first name, yoga studio with video workouts, tvs, good looking people, and free parking. All downtown. Yes, it's true. Good amount of cardio equipment, and more weights than you can imagine. My gym buddies have also commented that they have more machines than most locations. The shower and bathrooms are also really new and clean, no gross tiles with the weird swampy smells, and rusty metal stuff. and because it's on 1st street, you can grab a bite just about anywhere along this street because you had a great workout and you deserve it! It's been sort of counter productive for me, but I assume I'm the only one with no willpower.

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.

Edgemont Athletic is truly one of the best gyms I've ever experienced. The space itself is…read moreabsolutely beautiful and clean, modern, and so thoughtfully designed that it actually makes you want to be there. The group classes are a huge highlight for me. The instructors are motivating, knowledgeable, and create such a positive, energizing atmosphere. Every class feels like a great workout without ever feeling intimidating. What really sets this place apart, though, is the kids club. As a parent, it's such a game changer to know my kids are happy, safe, and well cared for while I take time for myself. It makes working out feel easy and enjoyable instead of stressful. On top of all that, the people are amazing both staff and members. There's such a welcoming, friendly vibe that makes it feel more like a community than just a gym. And the location couldn't be better. If you're looking for a gym that checks every box such as beautiful space, incredible classes, family-friendly, and genuinely great people. Edgemont Athletic is it.

HORRIBLE treatment by staff today, NOT luxury service, AVOID…read more I had asked to be connected to the manager of the club during the phone call to Adress the situation privately but Raeann said over the phone he (manager?) was on vacation for a long time and refused. I wanted to address the horrible treatment i received today not only from Raeann, but from the front desk girl as well as the one that called me in to the office upon arrival. I signed up through the mind body app, and scheduled my yoga class through there. I got to the desk 10 mins before the class as that is what the class description said. I was then told to wait and have some other girl frantically tell me shes so rushed now to get me registered, which i thought was done already through the app. This meeting she all but blamed me and made me feel as though i was a burden to her, and that this was not how it was supposed to be. Again, nowhere does this say this when booking through mind body that there needs to be a tour and such prior to me scheduling anything. After class, i left, and checked if i had a phone number for the facility, i only had a text from Raeann, which i have attached here, again, no mention of a 1 hr needed for tour and processing etc. In her text, i will note however, in the berating phone call after, she did lie and say she had called so many times and explained over voicemail, which did not happen. I texted Raeann back as attached below, to which she berated me (in her calm, soft spoken voice as she continued to say, while talking down to me) talk over me, and say she didn't want me in her club when i asked to speak to a manager because her behaviour was an insane way to treat anyone, let alone a new member. She then back peddled and again, blamed me for having a bad day and was taking it out on her (when she called me to seemingly blame a new member with a valid concern that i calmly, privately tried to address ?) She lied saying she called multiple times, when she called once and texted me. She also lied about her manager being on vacation, as when i called the front desk, they said he would be in on Monday. Her attitude over the phone was horrible, her condescending way of speaking was uncalled for and her threats of telling everyone about me, and not letting anyone else speak to me, is absolutely insane. I would like to speak to anyone above her as soon as possible. Thanks. If this is how this place is run, DO NOT GO HERE.

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)
