Imagine an abyssal darkness surrounding you. Within that abyssal darkness, imagine a spark of…read moreiridescent light. That light is Elizabeth, who works at the front counter. Elizabeth is always nice to me, and has gotten me to start going back to gyms after a 2 year hiatus to pursue calisthenics. When Shakespeare wrote of the transcendental beauty of Olivia in Twelfth Night, it was highly likely the mental image he conjured up was that of Elizabeth. I get sad when I don't get to see Elizabeth. In fact, the customer service she has provided has been second to none. If I was an employer, I would model my entire employee training structure around how well she handles customers. Frankly, I would be surprised if Elizabeth did not find herself rapidly ascending the ranks of MNP and taking on a very high level position. It would be a discredit to MNP if that did not happen. Elizabeth is absolutely 100% amazing. The GOAT. I think Michael Jordan writes Elizabeth fan mail. I could go on. But I won't. But I could. You get the picture. You BETTER get the picture. Elizabeth -- you are the freaking coolest, and if you read this I hope you know that seeing you really is a highlight of my week.

This is a beautiful new facility! They have a great pool and library. The library is a little…read moresmaller tan the other Calgary Public Libraries that I have been to in the city but none the less it is still a good library. The only thing I think that this library does not have is the stationary computers that you can print fro because with you library card you get $5.00 of free printing a month and I couldn't find a printer for that here. Also their kid zone is a little smaller than the others. They have great programs. One program that I went to on a Thursday was the science program that is in the afternoon and they did a segment on optical illusions!

The Remington YMCA features a gym, workout area, indoor track and swimming pools. Each area is…read more bright with natural light. They also have a universal locker space which is shared by all genders and ages. The YMCA offers plenty of swim classes, but relatively low number of options for land classes given the price of the memberships. The Remington YMCA building is also home to the Quarry Park library which is quite lovely. You do not need a membership with the YMCA to access it.

I used to take swimming lessons here! However, recently I have been going to the YMCA in Quarry…read morePark. I used to always love this YMCA but recently I have been feeling unsafe here as the train station is so close by I think a lot of homeless people come here as I have seen people sleeping inside before. As well, the high school is attached so I do't necessarily enjoy going here during the day. It is so busy and impossible to get parking. Quarry Park is a new beautiful location and is not near a train station and does not have a high school attached.

Woke up and felt the need to open my lungs and pump my heart after a weekend of eating! =O hahah…read more So, I pulled out my complementary day pass for YMCA and headed out to step class. The step class was great! It wasn't too crowded so I had tons of space and they also provided towels. Being a beginner, I totally thought I would miss many steps but the instructor gave great instructions which were easy to follow. Overall, the staff here are friendly and helpful - especially the girl at the front desk who, when I was asking about membership, asked how old I was?!?!?! I'm well past the age of 18 which is an adult memebership! lol. I guess I coulda gotten a teen membership?!?! The building is connected right beside the Calgary Public Library. It's clean and nice & separated into two floors. They have all the usuals here. A pool, a fitness area, a weight circuit, stretch area, & gym. The locker room is fairly long with ample lockers for usage. They provide locks too! If you need a lock, make sure you get one at the entrance gate (they'll ask for a card with your name on it to hold it). There are a LOT of machines upstairs in the fitness/weight area. The machines are newer and fancy with lots of variety. I even saw one that simulated moving uphill on cross country ski's - it was cool. I was there at 10am and it was BUSY! For the busier weight machines, I had to wait my turn.... which was kinda awkward since the machines are kinda close together with only room between them for traffic flow, so I felt like I was in the way of traffic while waiting. One last thing... they provide 'wet wipes' for you to clean the equipment after your usage which makes me happy cuz I know that they care about not spreading germs. =)

I'm visiting Calgary and friends who live here took me to dinner last night at the Glencoe Club…read more The restaurants is called Argyle kitchen, if I remember correctly. Many Calgary restaurants close on Mondays so the club turned out to be a great alternative. I have bad memories of mediocre food at clubs around the world. The don't seem to have enough business to keep creative chefs. The meal last night at Glencoe was excellent. One of my friends and I both had risotto with seafood. It was as good as any risotto I've eaten outside of Italy. The other friend had perfectly grilled salmon. It looked yummy. He ate every bite. The three of us split two desserts. Both were great. The service was very good. While the room was full, but the tables had enough that we could catch up with each other after 25 years. Everyone at Glencoe from the receptionist to the other patrons was very both friendly and helpful.

The staff is amazing too with being available for thing like last minute printing and even supplying name tags. Everything is professional and follows my banquet event order perfectly. Lastly, the acoustics are great and our and the having 3 screens available gives us lots of visual options.

What a fantastic facility!…read more I play in a recreational sports league called "SuperJocks", where 5 teams of women play a different sport each week. Many of our games are booked at the Calgary Jewish Center, so after a number of years in this league, I am quite impressed with this facility. I haven't seen the entire centre, but the area that I frequent has a very large gym, well-equipped change rooms, and our games are played in a fully stocked gymasium, where we play volleyball, basketball, dodgeball, floor hockey and soccer. I have also taken some yoga classes there, and their yoga studio is very impressive as well! If you live in the SW, definately check out the programs at this center. It is open to all to take fitness classes!

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.

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.
