Didn't have to wait for anything I needed (although I did come a bit later in the evening and wrapped up close to closing time). I love how clean this place is, and that they provide towels to wipe things down rather than wipes or paper towels. If I lived in Canmore, I would be a member at this gym. Will definitely be back if I'm in the area again!

This local size neighborhood (plenty of space, not crowded together) gym was next to the resort (joke gym) I was staying at with my pro level fitness competitor fiancé. I was tasked with the job of finding a gym to meet her needs. After talking to Chad (owner) we walked over and met with him. He is very proud of his facility and for good reason. CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN, well maintained, great equipment for cardio and resistance training and very large open space/area(rubber floor) for stretching and plyometrics. We did a 1 week deal at a reasonable price with 24 hour access. Cardio equipment is situated facing large windows with views of Three Sisters Peaks. All machines were functioning 100% and clean. Resistance training area- Rogue Free weights and benches, dumbbells up to 150LBS. Lots of Hammer Strength selectorized machines. Basically anything a serious gym rat would want. All in like new condition. For the woman everything and more you need for glutes and legs! YES 2 squat racks and one Smith! Leg presses,hacks ........ Only missing members required to use/bring a sweat towel. Wish I had a gym like this in my home town.

Want to experience heaven on earth? I did…read more Picture this: Sitting outside in the hot springs. There are only a couple of other people in here as well. You're sitting there, watching the steam rise into the fresh, brisk air. The springs are lit by the moon and the stars and it starts to snow. Your body is perfectly warm and comfortable and one by one, snowflakes fall into your hair. The steam continues to rise and you look up and make a wish on a shooting star. All is right in the world. This was one of my many experiences in the hot springs at the Aquatic Centre at The Banff Springs Hotel. When you first walk in, are greeted by a 32 metre indoor pool (which is 7 metres longer than an Olympic sized pool I'll have you know). There is also an indoor hot tub located at the side and it's surrounded by rock walls, so it makes you feel like it's a hot tub inside a mountain. Then, you go outside, and are welcomed by the indescribable hot springs which are surrounded by The Rockies. It's NEVER too crowded here, it's clean and it's truly heaven on earth. I cannot even describe how it feels to sit outside in the moonlit hot springs. The springs don't close until 10pm, so you've got a good number of hours to soak it all in. The locker rooms are pristine and they offer all products for their guests. Bath-sized towels, hair products, bath wash, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, hair dryers, you name it. Everything is kept clean and the crowd is monitored so that the hot springs are always welcoming and clean. I love it here. Truly. When I'm thinking of heaven on earth, I daydream of these hot springs and all my problems melt away.

Lovely yoga studio in Canmore, located on the main street of the town (which also happens to be…read morecalled Main Street, ha!). It's a flight of stairs from street level, but the view from the studio is simply breathtaking. Different types of yoga are taught, and teachers all have their expertise. Even though one can get used to the sight of the snow-capped Rockies after a few weeks in the region, nobody can really stay cold to the mountain panorama that can be seen through a ceiling-high window. Make sure to come to a class that starts before sunset so you can fully enjoy the view! The studio is small and cozy, which makes the practice much more calming, and the hardwood floor adds a homely touch to the whole studio. If you're more of an outdoors person, teachers often offer outdoors classes directly on the mountains, especially in the summer. As for any yoga studio, drop-in class fees are $18, and there is no student discount. There is a monthly trial package if you're new to the studio, but since you won't be disappointed, the best deal is obviously the yearly subscription. Mat rentals are cheap ($1).

If the monthly fee is cheaper than another gym, then they will get you back with extra fees and unannounced payments. Called them over a year and a half ago to cancel my membership and was told it would be easier to put it on freeze in case I wanted to one day come back. No end date was discussed for the freeze. A year and a half later i am now receiving emails mentioning an overdue account because they reactivated my membership. Perhaps a mistake so called and was transferred to what sounded like the owner who was INCREDIBLY RUDE. Told him about the situation and right off the bat he was terribly condescending. Told me he could waive some months but not others and sounded like he was just randomly coming up with number to settle this which was very frustrating. I ended up paying 50$ to cancel. Nothing in my contract mentions a 50$ cancellation fee so go figure. Ended up calling ABC financial (they deal with the billing) to resolve this and thank goodness for their lovely staff.
