Poor excuse for excercise! I bought a living social deal for bootcamp classes at 403 fitness and…read morewas so disappointed. First of all it was hard to find as their sign doesn't say 403 fitness. Second the inside looks like a garage. With little equipment the "trainers" set up like 10 stations and after a lame warm up where the "trainers" pretend to be militant standing there and yell orders at u. U go through the stations for a min. Or 45 seconds. After u do this a couple times they go right into a stretch and don't bother doing a cooldown. This totals 45 min. That doesn't even get ur heart rate up long enough to burn fat. Don't waste ur $$$$

I disagree completely with the previous reviewer. This is a great boot camp for those of us who…read morehave been intimidated by the stark atmosphere of traditional gyms. My mother and I both started at this boot camp six months ago and love the easy-going atmosphere. The trainers are very personable and never bark orders at anyone. They make you feel comfortable, whether you're in great shape or haven't worked out in months! I have asthma and it's essential I have a good warm up before I exercise, and I can tell you I've never had a problem with it at these camps. I always feel warm when we start the workout. The trainers are very creative with the workouts, pulling something new out of their hats every day. They include a great mix of circuit stations, obstacle courses, crossfit-style training and all sorts of variations of interval training. They even do a fitness test every 5 or 6 weeks (I believe) so you can see how much you're progressing. The equipment they use is very basic, but they get great results with simple supplies like skipping ropes and medicine balls. I always leave feeling like I had a great workout, and usually with a smile on my face! I can tell you that this camp has changed my life. I've never been a "gym" person, and I had never done a boot camp before, but I am addicted to this class. I now go 4 or 5 days a week -- and so does my 52-year-old mother -- and I'm stronger than I have ever been in my life. Some say the building is tricky to find, but if you check their website they clearly say that the boot camp is in the facility for No Limits AFC. We found it quite easily. I love this boot camp and highly recommend it to anyone who likes to have a little laugh while they're working out in a group!

They offer a bunch of different classes if your not sure what you like . Their prices are suitable for everyone as well!! Its awesome to watch my girls go into the class new and be treated as if they were part of the team from the very beginning . It's such A great feeling to have them come home and be so excited and share about their new experience at Dunamis ! Thank you for making my girls feel so welcomed and feel so proud of themselves . HIGHLY Recommend Dunamis to anyone from any age,-any experience level !!!!!! Jake is extremely experience, professional and makes class fun while still being serious ! So glad we joined !

I had purchased a coupon online to check out Arashi Do martial arts, and boy, what a great buy!…read more I decided to try out their Cardio Kickboxing class yesterday for the first time. The Acadia location is on my way home from work, so it was perfect. The lady who signed me up at the desk, Laurie, was friendly and inviting and introduced me to everyone in the room. The guy who was leading the class, Chris, was a goofball and was joking with everyone. The class itself: AWESOME. I have done some kickboxing in the past in Montreal, and it quickly became my workout 'love'. I have checked out 3-4 other similar classes in Calgary to simulate the same experience in hopes of finding my favourite, and I think I finally have. Arashi-Do's Cardio Kickboxing class was a circuit-type, kickboxing-style training with the right combination of intense cardio, strength, kickboxing moves, and fun. I know quite a bit about fitness and am acquainted with a lot of different types of exercises, and yet they still managed to throw in a few exercises that I have never done/seen. This was a pleasant, and AWESOME surprise. At the end of the 45 minutes, my butt was thoroughly kicked, and I LOVED every minute of it. The only thing I regretted was not coming to check this class out earlier! The monthly prices they quoted me seemed a bit high, but I will worry about that once my coupon classes are over! I'm coming back Monday evening. And hope to continue Wednesday evenings. HIGHLY recommended if you like an intense kickass workout! Review #11 of Yelp's 30 Day Challenge 2012

The trainers are extremely knowledgeable, approachable and genuinely have a passion for what they do. Tasneem, the owner, personally greeted me and took the time to welcome me to the studio on my first day. All the trainers I have met know me by name. The music is always great and general ambiance is unlike any other studio I've been to (I've tried multiple spin studios, barre studios, boxing studios etc). They offer a range of workout classes at different times during the day that are incredibly effective. You are guaranteed to walk out feeling amazing after every class. The classes are small which allows the trainers to give you personal tips and correct your form if needed. To me, this really set Square1 apart because I feel like they actually care that I am doing everything the right way which has helped me maximize my workout. Sometimes, it felt like a personal training session (esp when classes are smaller). Their attention to detail is remarkable. As you progress, the trainers will also suggest personal modifications. I love that they are able to gage wether you should increase weight/intensity because they actually pay attention to your progress over time. Although, the space is on the smaller side, it does not feel cramped and is kept very clean. I love how this studio feels so different than other 'boutique studios' - nothing pretentious, fussy, or "extra" about this place. If you are looking for an amazing full body strength workout and/or would like to try kickboxing - THIS IS THE BEST STUDIO IN THE CITY!!!!!! I'll stop now but I really could go on and on and on...

Love 2 Move is actually a place that offers yoga, pilates and circuits. The classes are alternated so something can probably fit your schedule, and it isn't too expensive either. There is also the option of having a personal trainer, if that floats your boat. Aside from the exercise stuff, they also offer craniosacral therapy, as well as A.R.T. & soft tissue and massage therapy. If you're in need of some TLC, this is the place to go. If you're not really after the work-out or therapy, they also specialize in holistic nutrition. Someone will actually sit down with you and plan out a food map that is all natural and healthy. So, which of those three things suits you? I'm sure there's something...

The second time I went back, I attended the Basics class and it was great. They started with low weight to help me "feel" my form and then built up from there. What I like about it: - A great range of equipment, - energetic classmates and instructors, - it's half way between my place and my boyfriends so it's convenient for both of us - there's parking and I don't have to pay to park there - I like that workouts get switched up daily and I feel like I'll be fitter and stronger two weeks from now. What I don't like about it: - I still sort of want the mirrors but this is a big no=no in cross fit - it was a tiny bit intimidating at first but I think that's the case with every new gym I've ever tried. Seriously. I just need to get over that.

I've been meaning to write this review for quite sometime but it slipped my mind. I started at RCR…read morein 2013 after being introduced to the gym through a friend who coached at the gym at the time Ben. Immediately I felt welcomed by the coaching staff who spent much more time with me then they had to. I remember one instance within my first two months where coaches and owners Ken and Bryan spent over an hour after class working with me on my snatch, I must have gone through over 100 reps in that hour and I learned so much about positioning and speed. Coach Dylan did the same thing for me with muscle ups the following month and eventually I got one. It's hard to remember all the times that coaches spent extra time with me after or before class(and we would be here all day if I told you), but I can tell you that had to be hundreds during my nearly 3 years at Ramsay. The Classes at Ramsay are a hour long each but often you'll find people show up quite early to stretch and socialize with other members. The format generally consists of a warm up then a strength or skill portion followed by a Metcon. The strength portion and metcons are almost always programmed as a part of a bigger picture with a focus on certain skills whether it be Olympic lifting, Gymnastics, Conditioning or any combination of those and I saw very consistent and steady improvements during my time at Ramsay. If your looking to get into Olympic weightlifting RCR also has a barbell club which is fantastic. I spent the majority of my last year with RCR working on Olympic lifting with coach Geoff. He also led me through my first weightlifting competition which was a blast. The barbell club has to be one of the funnest group I've ever had the pleasure to train with and I've made some great friends through the club. If I had one final thing to say about RCR I would say that most people walk through the doors hoping to get fit but the reason most people stick around is because of the community, I made a lot of great friends during my time at RCR and had some great experience as a result of my time there.
