Despite the decent environment, I feel the staff are quite lazy and sometimes very hard to work with. Yesterday I was with my friends and we were in the Gymnasium playing some basketball. Badminton was allowed in the Gymnasium due to the fact that it was an "Open Gym." Me and my friends went the first time to ask the staff if we could have the badminton nets set up on half the side of the gym and the other side for basketball. The staff said that they would send the DM or Duty Manager down to set it up later. We were acceptable and patient while waiting in the Gymnasium. After maybe 15 minutes or so I went to ask again, this time they said it would be another 15 minutes before the DM would arrive to set up Badminton. I thanked the staff and returned to the Gymnasium after waiting a total of 30 minutes before asking again. I asked the staff at the counter and they proceeded to go inside and ask for a request for badminton. They came out and informed me the last time that the DM would be coming down "now." Of course that was false making me and my friends wait in the Gym for up to an hour, peering outside of the Gymnasium constantly, checking if the DM was going to arrive. Soon however the DM did arrive more than an hour later, she informed us that "The court was too full" and how "It would be too crowded having 13 people on one side of the court." I was acceptable and the DM informed us that she would be back in 30 minutes to check if it was more empty. However the statement of the Gymnasium being too crowded brought up a significant memory not a couple of weeks ago when a full family wanted to play badminton on one half of the court while basketball was on the other half. Apparently 13 was too full but I swear I definitely saw 21 people on one half playing basketball. We were not able to play basketball because of the people that wanted to play badminton. Yet the staff does not set up badminton when we ask but when a full family apparently comes with badminton rackets, they squeeze as many people as possible to the other side of the court. I was quite disappointed but not mad however. Now, going back to how lazy the employees and staff are, this event completely explains how bad it really is at Melcor. Of course, me and my friends went to play more basketball and played for up to 2 hours and the DM never really came back "after 30 minutes" to check if the courts were empty again. At this point we gave up going up to ask again and went up to workout. We later left the YMCA after working out and that was pretty much how I spent a day where I planned to be playing some Badminton into doing almost and only some of what I have planned going to the YMCA. Very Dissapointed Melcor, one star rating.

Due…read moreto an unforeseen injury (stress fracture on my foot), I moved away from Orangetheory and tried CrossFit, working out on my own at the YMCA, and other boutique studios in the city. During Covid I started homeschooling my kids. I quickly stopped making fitness a priority. I had been wresting with getting back to a gym when management reached out about coming back to try a class. All it took was one class - I forgot how much I loved it! A gal recently asked me why I returned, and I told her that I was now the slowest, weakest, and fattest I've been in years, so I decided to return to the place that I know gets the job done! With hard work, perseverance, and stellar coaching staff, I'm starting to see my body transform. This place brings out my inner athlete and my competitive side, but it's not about comparing myself to others - every time I look in the mirror it's me against me. I've promised myself that I'm going to keep coming until I see the person in the mirror who reflects the person I want to be. I want to give a shout out to Matt and Khrista (the studio owners). You not only fill your studios with motivating, caring trainers, you genuinely care about people's health and wellness. You have created a community that people are excited to be part of and a place they enjoy working out it. Michelle Parks

The best part is the recovery side, I think of it as napping while getting healthy. The Lymph massage, and the Red Light Bed are the best. Lots of compliments on my skin, and improved posture. And I can now arm wrestle my sister and win. I've struggled with my weight most of my life, and while not a quick fix, this is the first fitness place I've been able to, and want to, consistently attend. Mainly because I feel welcomed, and the whole napping thing I mentioned earlier. Short time working out hard, then the reward. Would recommend.

Upgrade Labs - Public Warning…read more After my cryogenic chamber session at Upgrade Labs Calgary Brookfield, I was bullied by management into accepting that burning myself was somehow MY fault--despite their complete failure in duty of care and safety protocols. Let me be crystal clear: I will make it my life's mission to expose the negligence and entitlement that allowed this to happen. What was supposed to heal me has instead damaged my health further, all because of inadequate protocols and the absence of trained health professionals. The manager at the Calgary Brookfield location is a racist, unprofessional individual who clearly operates above the law with zero accountability. Her ignorance of legal requirements and blatant personal biases are inexcusable. This establishment operates without proper safety measures or qualified healthcare staff, yet has the audacity to blame customers for their own failures. I will not stay silent. I will denounce this company through every channel available until there is accountability for what happened to me. Consider this your warning--do NOT trust Upgrade Labs with your health and safety. #UpgradeLabs #CustomerSafety #Negligence #Calgary #ConsumerWarning

Plus, from what I have seen so far, there is a minimal amount of douchy gym rats there! ;) Very nice change rooms and a couple of large showers. I guess the only down side is the size of the classroom, which limits the number of people who can take the classes. I see that as a good thing, because I prefer smaller classes, but it may get crowded.
