For bouldering I would say this is probably the best gym in Calgary (went to all three CCC and they don't compare to here) they also set up a competition section of their gym once in a while which is sweet!

You wouldn't know it, but I secretly love rock climbing. I haven't done it a lot, but when I have…read moreit is always fun. The first place I ever tried indoor rock-climbing was at the Stronghold just of Centre Street. I think one of the reasons I loved it so much was that I immediately felt like I was walking into a community. Everyone seem to know you and they were excited that there was someone new to bring into the fold. Now since I'm not an expert climber, I can't really comment on the "courses" that are set up, but as a beginner I had a great time climbing. They were easy, but challenging. The staff really seemed like a coherent team and were willing to take time to teach you properly, after all it is their jobs. And if you don't have anyone to go with, don't worry. They have a machine that help you climb by yourself! Seems a bit sketchy, but it totally worked! As the winter months get closer and closer, you might want to look into Stronghold!

Each class is different, no matter which instructor that go and see. After just 3 months of training I ran the spartan race for the second time. And this year I was able to beat my previous time by 50 whole minutes. This place has completely changed my outlook on working out. Where it used be a task to go to the gym, now I find I am excited to go to it. And days that I don't go I feel I would rather be there. I would suggest this place to anyone that is looking for a change in their workout routine. Or are just starting out and looking for a great place to get a good workout.

There is a serious need for places like this for OCR racers to train year round. When I heard about…read moreit I was excited for my next trip south to check it out! When registering I went to their website and tried to sign in but it wasn't working. So I called and left a message about it. I got a call back the next day from Sandra saying I could register over the phone. They were in the middle of changing their booking service over to the Mindbody system at the time. Registering with the app is super easy now. I find it a little pricey at $30 for drop in tho. The place is in the middle of an industrial area but it was well marked and I was able to find it in the dark just fine. When arriving I was greeted right away by Jesse who was teaching the class. They have a seating area to chill and chat. The change room area was a little rough around the edges. It's a unisex area with box cubbies for your things, no lockers. the change rooms are individual rooms and two unisex washrooms with showers. Just bring your own towel and soaps. The gym itself is an adult playground. It's hard to find something they haven't thought of. All of your universal obstacles are built that you'll find in most races. There's a turf area as well and a few rowing machines. For the class we did a quick warm up on the rowing machines and then of course, burpees. After that there was what Jesse called "12 days of Christmas" workout written on the board. 12 different exercises to get through while working your way back through the ones you already did each round. It was great in that it used the whole space so in between you were running and it gave you many attempts at each one to practice and get better. We had a 40 min cap to get through all 12 before cool down. Anything we had questions about he went over and would show techniques otherwise he just let us go at our own pace while offering lots of high fives and encouragement. The course included: 1.rope climb 2. crawls 3. tire flip 4. 4ft wall 5. burpees x5 6. 6 ft wall 7. push ups x7 8. 8 ft wall 9. box jumps x9 10. KB squats x10 11. turf sprint 12. monkey bars It was so much fun and inspired friendly competition with those in the class like a race. Though everyone was so welcoming and encouraging. We offered each other tips and encouragement. It was a great atmosphere. After time was up we did our own cool down. I was able to catch some time to play on a few of the other obstacles and try for the first time while not in an actual race. The others said they class is never the same and changes up so you never get bored and can train to be well rounded in all obstacles. Hopefully they successfully expand and get one of these gyms in Edmonton. I would sign up for a membership right away. If you want to get into OCR or are just one of those people who get bored with conventional workouts this place is literally an adult playground. And for those who race regularly its a great indoor facility to keep your bruises year round!

It's a tier 1 facility which means drop in fees/memberships are cheaper than the tier 2 facilities and you can also use your tier 2 membership/passes here if you have one. They have a smaller 18.25m 4 lane pool that's in a half-basement with a nice sauna. The shorter pool might not be best for hardcore training but you do get to say you've done way more laps than you normally would and it is also amazingly deserted for a City of Calgary pool. I hate swimming in crowded lanes and it's usually very empty here. They also have drop in classes and programs of all varieties for children and adults alike. There is a respectable fitness centre with some free weighs as well as machines and regular cardio machines. The outdoor rock climbing wall is also now open! You can climb as long as you've done a belay lesson and signed a waiver and there are auto-belays for you to climb unsupervised. Definitely recommend checking this place out; I think it's way better value than most gyms and I love the variety of activities available! The staff are also super friendly and helpful!

The staff are friendly and the constant presence of lifeguards make me feel safe. The pool is clean although I've seen the occasional bandaid at the bottom. There's a constant flow of swimmers who take advantage of the lane swim times. There's a dive tank and a hot tub too. The gym is small but has what you need for a productive workout. I like building up a sweat and cooling down in the pool after. The change rooms could be cleaner but that's understandable because it's so busy. Just don't look at the floor. The lockers require quarters but some lockers are free for you to use your own lock. The rates are SO CHEAP compared to Vivo and YMCA. I bought a 30x pass that never expires for $170. That comes to just under $6/entry compared to $14 drop in at the aforementioned facilities. Drop in rates and 10x passes are also City of Calgary's website along with their pool schedules. If you're not close to Thornhill, other City of Calgary facilities are dotted around the city that offer the same rates.

I've been here in the daytime and also the evening and the attendance is quite varied. Some days it is very busy and others it's very quiet. The facility is a little bit older and not as well maintained as the other city pools. The centre does have a good sized weight room. The big disappointment is the change room facilities. They have a dark dingy feel to them. Water pools around the built in tiles benches, making you want to avoid the puddles. Now they do make the effort to clean them at the end of the night, but they could wait until the patrons have left so that they don't have to walk barefoot over cleaning solution on the floor.
