The best of fitness in Calgary: discover all the highlights in Calgary

I’ve had such a great experience at Barre West! I started with their Mom and Baby Pilates class when I was about seven months postpartum, and it is the perfect way to ease back into gentle movement after having a baby. The class is welcoming, relaxed, and thoughtfully designed for new moms. I really appreciated that the babies are not just allowed but genuinely welcome—and that the instructors keep the door open for late arrivals, which, as any new mom knows, is incredibly helpful.

The class offers lots of modifications, which I found great. Personally, I had already returned to regular exercise by the time I joined, so it was a bit on the easier side for me, but still very enjoyable and a wonderful way to get out of the house with baby in tow.

Since then, I’ve been taking their Monday Ass & Abs class, and I can’t say enough good things about it. It’s been absolutely fantastic for helping me rebuild strength and re-establish that vital mind-muscle connection, especially in areas affected by pregnancy. I’ve felt real progress from these classes.

The instructors at Bar West are knowledgeable and attentive, offering clear form cues and always making sure everyone is moving safely and effectively. I’ve been to fitness classes elsewhere where people are doing entirely different things and the instructor doesn’t say a word—not the case here, which I really appreciate. They also provide options to make movements both easier and more challenging, all while maintaining a supportive and body-positive environment.

The studio itself has a great vibe, and the front desk staff are always friendly and welcoming. I genuinely look forward to every class. Highly recommend!

I’m currently in the trial period at Barre West, and I absolutely love these classes! From the moment I stepped in, I was welcomed by a vibrant energy and an uplifting atmosphere that makes each workout enjoyable. The instructors are incredibly motivating and create a supportive environment that encourages you to push your limits.

I’ve already started to feel a noticeable difference in my strength and flexibility after just a few sessions. The combination of Pilates, barre techniques, and energetic movements really targets those hard-to-reach muscles, and I can feel my body becoming stronger and more toned.

If you’re looking for a new training outlet that combines fun with effective workouts, I highly recommend giving Barre West a try. It’s been a fantastic addition to my fitness routine, and I can’t wait to see how much more progress I can make!

Barre West is absolutely amazing! The Pilates classes are both challenging and rewarding, with instructors who are incredibly knowledgeable, encouraging, and attentive to form. The studio has such a welcoming and motivating atmosphere, making every class a great experience. Whether you’re a beginner or more advanced, the workouts are designed to push you while still being accessible. I always leave feeling stronger and more energized. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great workout and a supportive community!

Doing the mom + Baby classes has been a game changer for my post partum recovery journey! Very grateful to be welcomed into a community that is so kind and supportive. I love that the mom + baby classes are flexible. I can show up late, leave early, feed and change my baby, in a judgment free environment! And meet some cool moms. When I go back to work I will get getting a membership!

I started coming to Barre West earlier this year and it continues to be the highlight of my workout routine! The instructors really care about getting to know you by name and seeing you improve. The workouts are challenging and fun every week, especially Booty church on Sundays. I look forward to going every week!

I have tried a few different studios in Calgary, and when I attended Barre West, I knew it was my place. I’m a bit on the introverted side, and really find going to work out alone nerve wracking, ESPECIALLY joining new studio. Not Barre West. Immediately, I felt welcome. The staff, the community – the whole space is inviting and put me at ease.

I have been going regularly for almost 6 months, and it has become more than a fitness studio. It’s done wonders for my wellness as a whole, both body and mind. It’s quickly become one of my favourite places and I feel excite to go and incredible when I leave.

If you’re look for a FUN, welcoming fitness experience, do yourself a favour and try a class!

think I’ve finally found the perfect place for my body and soul! The 50-minute classes are full of energy, guided by a vibrant and supportive instructor. Every session leaves me feeling stronger and more uplifted. I started with a 2-week unlimited pass, loved every moment of it, and I’m absolutely planning to keep coming back! 🙂

Elite has been an amazing experience. We signed up our daughter for Muay Thai and she is loving it. Nikki has amazing at helping us get all set up and following up. Logan has been absolutely fantastic with our daughter and such a great coach with all the kids. We have already recommended Elite to our friends.

We tried the 2 free trial classes at the Shepard location with my Son in the kids parented class and my Daughter in the Teens class. Logan and Betty were really friendly and encouraging coaches. It wasn’t intimidating at all to jump in even though we had no prior experience at all. I really appreciated that Logan makes an effort to know all the kids names and involve them all in the class. The second Teens class was really busy and I noticed the adult coaches jumped in to help out. Seems like a really great atmosphere. Nikki was also a great help, answering my many questions over email and coordinating the whole process. Both kids decided to sign up.

I signed my 6 year old son up for classes at Elite and ended up signing myself up shortly after because of how fun the classes looked! The children’s classes are fantastic, my son loves them and has gained so much confidence and love for Muay Thai. All of the instructors are incredibly welcoming and skilled, making it a great experience for both kids and adults. Highly recommend!

Coach Betty is absolutely amazing! She’s incredibly patient and kind with the children. Her teaching style is engaging and fun, which keeps the kids excited to learn every week. You can tell she genuinely cares and puts a lot of thought into making each class enjoyable and meaningful. We feel so lucky to have her as our Muay Thai coach!

This place has the best customer service (Nikki is amazing), best pricing, and quality of classes. If you’re looking for an interactive class, look no further. My son did the trial classes, and there was no time for him just to sit around. I love the parental involvement in class. Coach Logan is very friendly, very kind, and he knows how to work with kids. He also has an assistant, so no kids will be left with no instructions. After the 2nd trial class, I asked my son if he enjoyed it, and he said «I want to come here everytime this place is open!» That’s how much he loves the class, and this is his first time doing any martial arts training. Love it!

We decided on Elite Martial Arts Academy after an extensive google search, reading all the reviews and speaking with Nikki the choice was easy. My son is special needs and they are very accommodating and helpful in teaching and ensuring that he feels included. We tried our first class this weekend and felt very welcomed the minute we walked in the door. My son is one to usually sit on the sidelines until he is comfortable enough to start interacting. Betty was amazing at getting him to join in right away. The smiles on his face the entire time and the laughter was all I needed to know we were in the right place. I love that this is a parent involved class as well.

This place is top notch! Our kids have been training since the beginning of the year in group classes and on a one on one basis with Logan and Kevin at the Sheppard location and they are both loving it! Both instructors are well trained and keep the kids engaged and having fun while also getting a good sweat on. Definitely recommend!

I can’t say enough good things about my experience working with Christine at Jensen Fitness!

I have been working with Christine virtually for over a year now and have learnt so much from her. I love having all of my workouts planned out and personalized for me, all I had to do was show up to the gym and execute.

Having Christine as a coach has made it easy to stay accountable and complete my workouts every week. Christine is so prompt in answering questions, and is incredibly experienced and knowledgeable when it comes to fitness and diet.

When I started the program, I was 6 months post hip surgery and I credit Christine’s coaching and personalized programming for helping me recover. With Christine’s help I now feel stronger than ever – we have built muscle, improved my flexibility and mobility, improved my posture and lost fat.

I also had a great experience working with their dietician. Christine and Rachelle had a very balanced approach to food and I never felt hungry or deprived. I’m now equipped with some healthy, easy meals that I continue to reach for.

Thank you so much Christine for helping me create a sustainable, healthy lifestyle. I’m so happy with the results I have seen and am excited to continue working with Jensen Fitness in the future!

I completed 3 months of personal training with Nick and it was well worth the time and money. I came into the process having very little experience working out and wanted to learn how to properly utilize weights and equipment. Nick was so great and making me feel comfortable and demonstrating the proper form and cues of each exercise, and in a way that I still remember how to do them even after completing my training! I highly recommend this facility and Nick as a trainer as I was able to achieve my goal of feeling confident going to the gym with a tailored exercise routine.

I have been going to Jensen Fitness for about 2 weeks now and I couldn’t recommend them enough!

Coming from someone who consistently was doing cardio and not eating properly I had no idea how to properly fuel my body and effectively work out through strength training. With the help of Olenka, I have already started feeling more confident in my strength training and look forward to going to the gym! She is personable, always has an amazing energy that puts me at ease during my workouts while also pushing me to do more than I thought I was capable of 🙂

Rachelle’s meal plans have also been amazing as I feel so much more full and energized before and after my workouts and throughout the rest of the day.

I absolutely love Jensen Fitness and look forward to continuing to learn and grow throughout my fitness journey!

When I started with Christine I was a menopausal mess. I had zero energy, I wasn’t sleeping and I could eat lettuce for lunch and gain 10 pounds by dinner. I had tried everything (on my own) to try to breakout of the downward spiral but nothing helped.
I found Jensen Fitness through a Google search, was encouraged by the amazing reviews and started an incredible journey to healing and feeling so much better.
Not only did I have an amazing trainer in Christine but I also also had the support of a registered dietitian. What a team, they have taught me so much about how to train and support that training with personalized meal plans.
Thanks to Rachelle and Christine, I now have a better relationship with food (I don’t run screaming from carbs) and I have so much energy to maximize my workouts and feel energized after. I also sleep so much better.
I am so very glad that I found Christine and Jensen Fitness, the support has been amazing and the whole experience has been life changing.

My wife started training at Jensen Fitness around 2 months ago. She has made so many great strides towards improving her overall fitness and health. Her and her trainer Olenka have created an amazing partnership in the gym. I feel that that is key for the success, she has motivated her and has made it comfortable in an environment that previous to this experience was very uncomfortable. The biggest thing I notice is when she looks at herself in the mirror I see the self confidence within her at an all time high. After watching her struggle with the public gym route I knew this was a great fit for her. I joined in on the initial consult and we felt comfortable as soon and we walked in their facility. I’m so proud of my wife for taking the leap into Jensen, this has been an amazing experience and that’s thanks to the owners, staff and especially her trainer Olenka.

I’ve been a member since mid-January and have noticed a significant change in strength, fitness and energy. I’m sleeping better, mostly due to Sophia kicking my butt each work out, but she also takes care of my injuries and limitations, and she finds ways to work around them safely without causing further injury. I would highly recommend Jensen if you are looking for work outs with great trainers and to have a complete nutrition component as an add on option also with Rachelle, the awesome dietitian.
All the trainers at Jensen are excellent and each one has been absolutely great, Sophia, Brody, Olenka, Serhii and Evan. I have all trained with each one and they are all knowledgeable, professional and exceptional trainers.

Great place to work, check Jensen out the next chance you get!!!!

Hey Everyone!

I’m not sure whether to give Jensen a terrible review or an amazing one! I want to tell you all it’s terrible so we can keep the gym all to ourselves… BECAUSE ITS SO AWESOME!

Have you ever walked into a gym without any idea what to do? Or maybe you had a specific workout you wanted to try but the machines you need are all busy with other people?

We have… Jensen removed all that uncertainty for us. It’s amazing to show up and have a workout already selected for the day AND the only other people in the gym are being trained by the staff… No more mental energy spent on planning what to do or if you’re even doing it right!

(PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU’RE DOING IT RIGHT OR YOU’LL HURT YOURSELF!)

Our Story:

We started training here in March 2022 with Keana (who is also a Kenisiologist). Right from the start she’s been so professional and also personal. She’s been so great at helping us continually reach new workout goals and live the lifestyle we want to live so that when we get older we are still fit!

Each workout is tailer made for us as individuals based on our goals and bodies. Keana is great at setting up workouts that are enough routine to enjoy but different enough that your body doesn’t always do the same motions day in and day out.

When we started here my heaviest bench press was just around 150lb, I’m now over 200lb!
I’ve also swapped over 10lb of fat for muscle and feel great!

We definitely recommend you take the plunge and go with Jensen Fitness and Keana. We can’t say enough about them.

Never tried bouldering till today!

This place is super cool. Staff helped me and my dad with the waiver which took 2 minutes. We paid for a day pass + climbing shoes for each of us. We got changed in the bathroom which has a shower + changing section. A little tight but understandable. There are lockers inside too. I kept my wallet and any other valuables inside but not necessary, this place was really safe and proper. People leaving phones whenever and no one doing anything inappropriate.

The climbing was really fun. Super easy and chill to find a spot and go for it. The system involves taking turns while you are waiting/taking a break to recover. tons of nice and chill people all around to help with any questions. The back corner also has a small gym section for building your grip strength and finger strength. That was fun to see people doing all kinds of craziness in that corner.

I love this place and I will definitely be back.

Great setting at bolder, friendly community and good music to get psyched on. It gets quite busy at peak hours!

This is a great place. I started rock climbing not so long ago. And it’s a really cool pastime, especially if you have like-minded people. It’s much more fun in great company.

I just started climbing just under a month ago and fell in love. I really like how friendly everyone is. The community aspect is why I always come back, too.

The resets are also perfect too I think, long enough for you to do a project if you’re working on one, but soon enough for you not to get bored.

I also recently got my membership too and I am excited to come back here consistently!!

I wish there was more room between the mats, especially when it gets filled with people waiting to climb.
Overall – great atmosphere, energy and people.

Great gym! Good setting (a little soft imo), friendly staff, fine workout and seating areas. Resetting is frequent, and they seem to put on events quite frequently! They have a good variety of beverages and climbing products for sale as well.

A moonboard, and a good spray wall with community-set problems on the Stokt app put the cherry on top of this gym, making it one of the best in Calgary.

One critique: the bass level of their acoustic system is deafening.

My husband and I just finished a 2 day intro to bolder class and I have to say it was awesome. Reagan the owner is a great teacher. We learned many skills that we can go out and use to problem solve the walls. We look forward to continuing our growth with boldering and top/lead rope climbing. We generally go to the other location as it’s close to home and has the sauna.

I haven’t done many yoga classes before and I have never felt out of place at Breathe Hot Yoga. Such a welcoming atmosphere with amazing teachers and classes that I always look forward to! Walking out of class you feel rejuvenated and reset, it’s a great practice at the end of a long day. So far my favourite classes have been Foundations and Yang Yin as someone who is a bit newer to Yoga. I would recommend any of their locations to new or experienced Yogi’s!

I absolutely love Breathe Hot Yoga! The atmosphere is so welcoming and peaceful, making it the perfect place to escape and focus on my practice. The studio itself is always clean, warm, and inviting, creating the ideal environment for hot yoga. The instructors are incredible—each one brings a unique energy to the class, offering clear guidance while also encouraging personal growth and mindfulness. I always leave feeling rejuvenated and centered. Whether you’re new to yoga or a seasoned practitioner, I highly recommend giving Breathe Hot Yoga a try!

This is my first legit hot yoga studio I’ve ever joined and I love it. The atmosphere of all 3 locations are consistent. Facilities clean, calming. I have yet to try all classes but so far love them. Specifically the foundations class if you are just starting out like me. Many of all levels, but still able to take it slow and controlled.

Breathe Hot Yoga is amazing! The studio is clean, welcoming, and has the perfect heat level to deepen your practice without feeling overwhelming. The instructors are knowledgeable, supportive, and great at guiding all levels. There’s a great mix of classes, and the community is so friendly and encouraging. Whether you’re looking to challenge yourself or just unwind, this is the place to be. Highly recommend!

Breathe Hot Yoga is such an amazing place. Everyone is so welcoming and always greets you with a smile! My sister and I have been doing the restorative class on Wednesday’s every once in a while when we are feeling like we need to release some emotion and just feel grounded. We lost our brother a year and a half ago and that’s when we first started these classes. We always feel refreshed and connected with him after we do these classes! Highly recommend Breathe Hot Yoga McKenzie ❤️

Breathe Studios are a welcoming space – fabulous energy – inclusive and congenial. I love the multiple styles of yoga offered. All staff ask you before approaching – whether that is healing touch or cooling lemongrass cloth. The instructors are fantastic – providing options and prompted guidance. Community and location and schedule are the three key criteria for me with a yoga studio and Breathe offers that 5/5 star. Namaste.

I signed up for the $70 new member one-month unlimited pass and it’s been totally worth it! You get access to all three locations, which is amazing — I rotate between Britannia and Avenida depending on my schedule, and both studios are wonderful. A little extra preference for Avenida for the harder flooring in the yoga room. The heat in the rooms is perfect — warm enough to get a great sweat but never overwhelming. Every teacher I’ve practiced with has been fantastic — knowledgeable, welcoming, and great at offering options for all levels. Whether you’re new to yoga or a regular on the mat, you’ll feel right at home here. Highly recommend!

I decided to start CrossFit to improve my mental health, and from the very beginning, I was amazed by how supportive the CrossFit Sunalta team is. It’s truly a community where everyone encourages you to do your best and move your body. Whether you’re an expert or a beginner, whether you’re fit or just starting out, you’ll always receive support to complete the workout. Sometimes it’s tough to push through, but once you do, you feel incredibly proud of yourself! The coaches pay close attention to the small details, helping you improve every day. Going to CrossFit Sunalta has definitely become one of the highlights of my day.

CrossFit Sunalta is the best place to go for a good workout and get a good sweat going. The facility, the equipment and the coaches are all top notch and the workouts will make you push yourself to your very best. I’ve been going to CrossFit for 7yrs and I wouldn’t trade my membership for anything. You’ll get the best experience great exercising and if you are new to the gym no worries the coaches and members will help you and give the best tips from their own experience. If you’re ever in town or making a quick trip check out CrossFit Sunalta Calgary and have yourself a fun and awesome time

CrossFit Sunalta is hands-down one of the best boxes in Calgary. The coaches are knowledgeable, motivating, and always prioritize proper form and safety. The programming is well-balanced with a good mix of strength, conditioning, and skill work. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a solid CrossFit gym in the city!

I was completely new to CrossFit and had been curious for a while. I was initially intimidated about trying a class, but I decided to take the dive. I was relieved to find the atmosphere extremely welcoming and friendly, not just from coaches but from fellow members. Big shout out to coach Greg from whom I’ve learned so much from about proper form and managing intensity. It’s been really fun learning new skills and lifts from him that I never thought I could do. Thank you coaches Greg, Lise, and Calder for making my CrossFit experience so fulfilling.

Had a super experience training with the team at CrossFit Sunalta whilst abroad! Travelling in from Australia for a few days the team were welcoming, encouraging and supportive and the vibe was cool & chilled. Definitely recommend for CrossFitters of all levels – beginner to advanced! Thanks for having me. ☺️

I started at Crossfit Sunalta in January and haven’t missed a class yet! I truly look forward to going to the gym and getting my workout in. The coaches are great and make sure you can accomplish everything no matter what your skill level is. I would definitely recommend it to anyone considering it.

Went for my first ever CrossFit class this weekend and it was AMAZING! Coach Rod was great and the owners came for a hello. We practiced all the movements before starting the workout which I loved. No injuries here! Great gym and great crowd! Will be back!! 🙂

We went to Affinity while visiting Calgary. The instructors were wonderful, and the other students were great to train with. For our kids we recommend this gym.

Im a black belt bjj instructor/coach from Philadelphia. I was in Calgary to visit family and was looking for a place to train while I was in town. Coach Avery at the Varsity location was very welcoming and I had a great time training there. The instruction is top-notch and the facility was great. Would definitely recommend.

I’ve had a fantastic time in the tiny ninjas program with my son. We have completed two intakes and it has been superb. The instructors are kind and engaging.
My son also loves rolling/wrestling with dad every Saturday morning!

I was just passing through Calgary when I decided to spend the little time I had doing Jiu Jitsu here. Met some really welcoming people, had good rolls, and the coaches were more than willing to teach me a thing or two. 100% worth it.

I did a drop-in class today, everyone I met was super friendly and I had some fun rolls. I really enjoyed the style of instruction. I listen to the BJJ Mental Models podcast and it was really cool to experience a class focused on Rob Biernacki’s concept of Alignment. I will definitely come visit again.

My children have been attending Affinity Academy since April 2022, and from day one, it’s been nothing short of fantastic! They absolutely adored their classes. The dedication and passion of both the staff and the coaches truly shine through, thanks to their amazing support and encouragement. It’s clear that the entire team is committed to providing an outstanding educational experience.Thank you, Affinity Academy, for making such a positive impact on my children’s lives!

I went to Affinity while I was visiting Calgary. The instructors were wonderful, and the other students were welcoming, and great to train with. As a woman, it can be very intimidating going to a martial arts gym, but I would absolutely recommend Affinity to any woman that would like to give BJJ, or kickboxing, a try. I can’t say enough good things about them.

After nearly 20 years of practicing hot yoga at various studios across Calgary, I can confidently say that Meta Hot Yoga is where I’ve finally settled — and that says a lot. The classes here are consistently welcoming, supportive, and thoughtfully led. The instructors are warm and knowledgeable, creating an atmosphere that feels both safe and motivating. While the classes are suitable for all levels, I especially recommend Metta to beginners or older individuals who might be hesitant to try hot yoga. This is a place where you can truly feel taken care of, no matter your experience level.

This is truly the best hot yoga studio! The atmosphere is incredibly inclusive, and I always feel genuinely welcome. The instructors are exceptional, creating a supportive and enjoyable environment. The studio offers a wide variety of class options at excellent prices, catering to different preferences and schedules. Having explored numerous yoga studios, I can confidently say this one stands out for its warm and non-cliquey vibe. Highly recommended!

Love this studio:)

Bring a towel! It’s hot!

It’s been a while since i had a studio that i could call my yogi home and i am happy to say Metta Calgary has filled the void:)

Loads of great teachers that are always happy to serve.

The Metta sequence is varied enough to keep things fresh and I feel fully rinsed out and rejuvenated after every class, in all the right ways.

The fact they have a 6am class is great too.

Definitely recommend.

I have really been enjoying my time at Metta. I loved my prenatal classes as well as the hot classes. Studio is clean and inviting and staff members are all so friendly. Teachers are knowledgeable and they make they classes feel like they welcome all skill levels. Yoga is for everyone and I feel like this studio embodies that!

I’ve been practicing at Metta Yoga for two months, and I absolutely love it! The classes are challenging, with a great variety that keeps me engaged and always pushes me to improve. The teachers are fantastic—knowledgeable, supportive, and attentive to all levels. Their guidance helps me progress safely and confidently. I highly recommend Metta Yoga to anyone looking for a challenging yet welcoming yoga studio!

I love the studio and the amazing instructors! I’ve done almost all the classes but really enjoy metta hot yoga. I also did the prenatal classes and thought they were great. Highly recommend.

Meta Yoga has been a truly transformative experience for me. The studio has a peaceful, welcoming vibe that instantly puts you at ease. Every instructor is kind, skilled, and brings their own special energy to the practice. I’ve felt stronger, more grounded, and more connected since joining. I’m so grateful to be part of this beautiful community.

I’ve always had an excellent experience at Connect Performance! The entire team is friendly, professional, and truly committed to patient care. Dr. Adam is incredibly knowledgeable and takes the time to explain each adjustment and how it helps. I felt immediate relief and continued improvement over time. Lindsay, the physio was just as impressive—tailoring a rehab program specifically for my ACL injury and guiding me through every step with encouragement and expertise. I’ve seen real progress thanks to their hands-on approach and attention to detail. The entire team is filled with hardworking and lovely professionals and they got your back no matter what.

Highly recommend this clinic to anyone dealing with sports injuries or chronic pain!

I love Connect! Dr Adam is the only chiro I trust to treat my pain and injuries. His extensive knowledge, patience, and kindness are incredible.
I also attend the seniors weight training classes with Bianca, she also keeps me strong!
The entire staff is always warm and welcoming, it’s a positive environment, good vibes, and last but not least, I appreciate how clean and tidy the whole facility is kept!

Dr. Robinson is one of the most genuine, honest, and knowledgeable chiropractors I’ve ever had. He truly listens, remembers concerns from past visits, and cares not just about the treatment but about you as a person.

I’ve also had the pleasure of seeing Lindsay, and she is beyond amazing! In just five minutes, you can learn so much from her. My 13-year-old son saw her and walked out saying, ‘Wow, she was really cool’—which, coming from a teenage boy, is a huge compliment!

I’m so grateful for the entire team at Connect Performance. They are simply the best!

I cannot recommend Connect enough! I started coming 6 months ago after having recurrent back injuries which were preventing me from exercising and even at times functioning day to day. I started with Jeff and Dr. Robinson and immediately started to have relief. I continued with Connect and am now doing group fitness training three times a week and it has been a game changer for me. I’ve learned so much about how to exercise and I’ve already seen improvements. I have not had another back injury since starting. Not only that, I went on a week long bike trip and have never felt better on my bike. Jeff has taught me how to train smarter. I truly enjoy going to each session and am motivated by the progress I’m making. Everyone at the gym is welcoming and like-minded. It’s an all in one place for anyone who is active and wants some guidance on injury treatment, prevention and improving athletic performance. Joining the Connect community has been one of the best things I’ve done for my health and wellness!

Could not recommend connect enough, I’ve been attending group fitness at connect 3x a week for the past 10 weeks & it’s honestly been a game-changer. The experience here has completely transformed my fitness journey in ways I didn’t expect both physically and mentally.

First, the group sizes are smaller than traditional gyms, which I absolutely love. It creates a more intimate and personalized atmosphere, and the sense of community is amazing. Everyone is so supportive, and it’s really motivating to train alongside people who encourage each other.

Jeff, my trainer, is incredible. He’s always there to guide me through the workouts, offering encouragement and making sure my form is on point. The workouts are genuinely tailored to each individual; we track the weights we use for specific exercises, and Jeff is great at modifying them if needed to suit personal needs.

The gym itself is beautiful—clean, well-maintained, and filled with new, cool equipment. Every workout feels unique and exciting, thanks to the variety of equipment and exercises Jeff incorporates into the routine. I’m never bored!

Nicole, who works evenings at the front desk, is the absolute sweetest and
is so welcoming when I’m coming in for a workout.

One last thing that stands out is how well-stocked the bathrooms are with all of my favorite Saje products, which is a small but thoughtful touch that really adds to the experience. Plus, there’s always plenty of parking, which makes getting in and out so easy.

All in all, this gym has truly changed my life. It’s not just a place to work out—it’s a place where I’ve found community, support, and real progress. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a more personalized and motivating gym experience!

I can’t recommend the Postnatal Foundations class at Connect Performance enough! I took it twice—first with Rachelle at 2 months postpartum, then again with Alex at 6 months—and both were amazing. The class helped me safely ease back into working out, taught me how to properly engage my pelvic floor while exercising, and gave me a chance to meet other moms. Plus, getting to bring my baby along made it so much easier. A huge bonus: the classes are covered by physio benefits. If you’re looking for a supportive and knowledgeable team to help you feel strong again postpartum, this is the place!

I see Lindsay Fraser for physiotherapy and Maddie Colton for massage therapy. Both of them are very good at what they do. They are so knowledgeable and take the time to give focused and effective treatment. Hana is also great, she greets me by name every time I come in. They are all just lovely and kind people.

I’ve been a longtime Lagree fan and have attended almost 200 classes. Kim is an absolute gem of a human and the Lagree experience has been fantastic. This is consistently a challenging workout that supports my other athletic pursuits. The low impact nature of Lagree has been great when I have been dealing with minor injuries. Every instructor has been so welcoming and they make classes so fun. I also love that the focus is always on building strength, endurance, and flexibility and taught without emphasis on ‘bikini bodies’ or weight loss. Highly recommend!

Sara is an awesome instructor! I fell in love with Lagree from the moment I walked in because of the great atmosphere. Everyone was kind, welcoming and helpful. I tried the Light-Full Body and found it very accessible considering I am uncoordinated and used to doing yoga not gym exercises.

My favourite strength workout to keep me in shape especially for downhill skiing and mountain biking. Love the eccentric muscle loading with the slow returns. I also really appreciate the ability to buy multi-pack passes without the set monthly renewal fees.

Love Lagree studio, the vibe, the energy and most of all the instructors!

Absolutely love! The classes are so challenging but so rewarding & Tracy is my favourite instructor, she’s amazing!

If you love your workouts and have never tried this, you need to go! Such a hard workout in such a different way and also great for rehab and injury prevention.

Had a great first experience and Pilates class here. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Facilities were modern and clean. Engaging and motivating workout that really targeted the core and stability.
