If you are looking for a personal trainer, but don't want the typical gym experience, Korezone is…read moreyour place and Ciara and Angela are your go-to girls. I have not reviewed Korezone before now as I was a contract yoga instructor in their old facility and it would have been conflict of interest to pump them up. But I'm breaking the silence now because the Korezone team has moved - into the Pure Potential house on 122 St (+102 Ave) - and I am currently not working with them. Why does the world need to know about Korezone? What they offer, as people, as trainers and as health experts is so high-quality, so personalized, and so full of heart, you won't find a better guided fitness experience in the city. Everyone wants to get in shape after Christmas and before bikini season. Gym memberships sell like mad in the new year and at the end of winter but attendance drops off in February and the summer. These girls and the whole team of trainers at Korezone understand the barriers to true transformation from the inside-out and how to support clients through the burn-out phase of a fitness program. They go above and beyond, and treat you like family, and it is impossible not to thrive and discover your full potential under their wing. Finally, Korezone offers a boutique-style experience that includes an in-house massage service, offered by Tupelo Flo, which has moved with them into the Pure Potential house. The quarters are smaller than their first home in Oliver Square behind Safeway, however with less overhead and house-keeping duties, Korezone is free to do what it does best - help people help themselves be the best they can be.

Korozone is not just a gym or personal trainers, they truly care about their clients.read more

I normally go to the 9Round in Leduc but found it closed on a day I wanted to get my sweat on so I…read morethought I'd check out Beaumont's 9Round. I paid the drop in fee and got my sweat on! For those of you who haven't ever been to a 9Round before, it isn't a gym. They have a 9 unit circuit that you spend 3 min on per with a 30 second active/or break on in between. There is a trainer who helps you along the way and shows you how to do each of the stations and motivate you through your workout. I also appreciate that you don't have to spend your time cleaning as the trainer's sterilize everything for you. It is not intimidating and gives you an excellent balance to any workout routine (except heavy weight lifting), and is great for both men and women in any shape (lol and not just round as a shape). When you sign up for a package, they also have nice additions like being able to put it on "hold" if you travel or aren't going to use it to the best of your ability.

Special shoutout to Natalie for making class enjoyable, challenging, and for her careful attention to our form while doing weights.

I have never had a membership to World Health Club so I can't comment on any pushy salespeople but…read morehave had the opportunity to visit and try out a few of their clubs. I've been to the Glenora location a few times; once for a class and the other time to work out on the machines. The last visit was to work out on a Saturday morning. The locker area is spacious and clean. The layout works that not everyone is in one area with one row of lockers like as some gyms. There are the full body length and half size lockers which is great and you need to bring your own lock. There are benches scattered around by the lockers. There are big mirrors, hairdryers, lotions, and I think even hairspray! There's a door to separate the lockers from the toilets and the shower area. The showers are huge and private, and they provide shampoo, conditioner, and soap. I didn't even need to bring a towel as they provide that as well! I went to the cardio machines where they have rows of bikes, ellipticals, and treadmills. I hopped on an elliptical but I didn't see the antibacterial wipes, which I like to use to wipe the machine before I use it in case the person before me didn't. The machines are great with each having their own tv and lots of channels! It makes the time go be quickly. I noticed where a few people were going to get wipes so I got some to clean my machine down. The free weights and weight machine area had lots of options so it wasn't too crowded. There were benches unoccupied it's nice there's room for everyone in the area. I also think there's a Women's Only area upstairs but I didn't check it out. Closer to the front by the offices are chairs which is great if you are waiting for a friend to come out of the locker area. The shoe area is also big so shoes are on top of each other. Great gym!

They give great direction and help you do the movements properly without ever hurting yourself. If you have ever wanted to try Crossfit I highly recommend trying out Man-Made. The group of people that go to this gym have a contagious energy and it rocks! They really make you feel welcomed even as a beginner and not intimidated at all. They gym is super clean and they respect all the COVID protocols.

Everything you need at a gym!…read more Hot yoga at this location has fabulous instructors who do a great job facilitating and leading the practice, it is not included with membership though. This newer gym has pretty decent layout and has all the basics - machines,free weights, squat racks, 3 bench press stations, and one of my favorite a turf section that has sleds to push/ pull. There is also a private section just for personal trainers so you don't have to worry about how busy the gym is when you got a personal training session. Tons of cardio machines The spin class and workout room both have a virtual function that has a drop-down projector screen and a select your own virtual trainer/workout just in case there is no trainer booked when you need your workout. They have massage therapy clinic and free to use massage chairs OMG ( they're very epic). I believe there's a health/ nutrition consultant as well. The vending machine there has protein bars and powder , pre workout, snacks and tanning oils for there two tanning rooms on site ( stand up and lie down) I would probably boost to a five star if there was an Olympic lift section...

It was nice cause there were one ten members so it wasn't over crowded. The instructor was great at warming everyone up before jumping straight into vinyasa flow. My only complaint is that the floors of this gym really need to be vacuumed, there seems to be rocks, hair and dust throughout the change rooms, gym floors and yoga room. It would be also nice to see some basic amenities in the change room such as hair ties, q-tips and face wipes. I will keep coming as it is a super convenient location just steps from the Clareview lrt station.

After a rough two years of not taking care of myself, I had a wake-up call when I failed the…read morefitness test for my dream job. I had gained a significant amount of weight, lost my love for the gym and had absolutely no motivation. Life was kicking my butt, and I was letting it. After some pushing and encouragement from my family, I decided to chat with the fitness manager at my local Goodlife to sign up for personal training. I was very skeptical. Scratch that, I was extremely skeptical of agreeing to work with a personal trainer. With the combination of bad experiences with personal trainers/coaches and injuries I wasn't looking forward to going through the process of vetting a personal trainer. Then I was introduced to Nathan. The first session I remember walking in thinking I don't know, maybe I should just cut my losses. I went in not expecting much. Oh boy was I wrong. Within in a few minutes I felt heard and understood. I gave him my goals and we workshopped together what would work and what might prove difficult for me. I have a handful of injuries that can make training a bit of a challenge for me. There are movements I need to avoid or be quite cautious with. Nathan is responsive and proactive to ensure I do not reinjure or injure myself. He's quick to grab the weight if I ever need a hand and is always willing to re-explain anything. I appreciate being told exactly WHY a movement is good for me versus just do this because it's good for me. I would personally recommend Nathan for pretty much anyone because he is knowledgeable, passionate about helping his clients and is great at making his sessions enjoyable. He has made going to the gym fun again, I feel like a little kid excited to go to the jungle gym every time I see that it's time for a session. Never thought I'd love going to the gym again. With his guidance I feel like I can personal accomplish all my goals I have set and even more.
