So if your travelling or suck, too bad. Putting on hold or canceling the membership is a hard as building ikea furniture.

They are commissioned sales people and you feel it. Sorry but I'm headed to the ymca.

This is a lovely spot in downtown Cochrane. It's a log house style, bright and inviting with large…read morewindows on one wall. It's not set up with an entry way, so you may end up with your mat by someone's boots and in winter that spot can be chilly. There's a small bathroom on site, which is all they need. It's a bit crowded in the back, but it's for storage of equipment that they offer you for free and overall it's a good use of space so that there is more floor to practice in the main area. The equipment that they have on site to use includes blankets, bolsters, blocks, straps and mats. As an occasional yoga practitioner, I'm grateful that's provided. They are on par or a little better in terms of price and promotions. I work very long days, so I don't have the opportunity to take advantage of their weekday roster. I also travel, so my weekends can be unreliable too. For that reason, I appreciated the pack of 10 promo to be used over 3 months. The flexibility is appreciated. I'd like to see more weekend offerings, but understand that they are growing. The Yoginis who teach here/ facilitate class all seem diligent with regards to poses and flexible in terms of skill level. I definitely recommend.

If you're anything like me, cold weather makes you want to hibernate. Eat lots and sleep lots, oh and gain lots. Hibernation was my only time pass in winter UNTIL I discovered campus recreation at the University Of Calgary. These people deserve a SERIOUS shout-out! They offer AMAZING classes (everything from kickboxing, deep water fitness and pilates, all the way to cardio salsa, gymnastics and volleyball). Depending on which class you're interested in, prices vary from $60-$110 and they can run anywhere from 6 weeks to 3 months! I recently signed up for a funk class with a girlfriend and I look forward to this workout more than I've ever looked forward to any other workout in 'Sapna G.'s history of workouts'. The teachers are great, the classes are high-energy and the best part is that you're keeping fit and having fun all while respecting your budget! Look out summer, by the time you roll around this year, I'm gonna look hotter than ever ;)

I'm super biased I must admit...I go to MRU, and the gym there is SO much nicer. Given the size of…read morethe school, I figured when I walked into the gym at U of C it would be like their library...floors upon floors upon floors. But I was shocked to see that it was smaller than the one at Mount Royal (or it seems smaller). Anyways, it's always clean when I go, and the machines aren't really all that old. They still work so for me that's all that matters. The one thing that I really like about the gym at the U of C is how they have fans pointed at the people who are using the treadmills and such. I don't think I've been to a gym where I could actually feel the fan on me while I was running. It was nice! I like this gym, however the parking sucks. It's too expensive to park at U of C, then go and pay to use the gym...so I won't be visiting too much. And I can't imagine just how busy this gym gets once school starts up. But for the summers, if you don't mind parking/walking/taking the bus then it's a nice place!

There is a diverse class offering with times throughout the day from morning to evening candlelight sessions. They are rated 1-4 for difficulty and have offerings including, bowl meditation, intro sessions, gentle styles, and hot yoga. The costs seem competitive and for newbies like me, there is an intro cost level that has been really appreciated. From there, you can buy sessions on a sliding scale or commit to a duration. Also for newbies like me, they rent mats. I didn't want to buy one in case I hated it. :-) The teachers that I've experienced seem knowledgeable, patient, keep an even pace and are attentive to assist you if you are lost in a pose or help modify if you are struggling. They allow for online sign up or drop in. Classes have varied greatly in terms of fullness, but I haven't seen one yet where everyone didn't all fit. There are 2 rooms and I noticed the bathroom has a shower if needed. The place is clean, the people warm and welcoming, although getting a hold of them can be a challenge. I tried calling with no answer and FB doesn't seem that active, taking a few days for someone to respond to me by messenger. Overall I'm extremely pleased with my experience and plan to make the most of it before my schedule ramps up. Definitely recommend!

After moving to Bragg Creek, it became pretty obvious that I was going to have to practice Yoga at…read morehome or be a slave to the "Yin only" mentality of Yoga within the Heart of Bragg Creek. While it's a great little studio, there is nothing beyond intro and restorative Yoga. I get it, it's a niche thing, but I can't pay over $100 per month for laying on a cold floor. I took a chance and went out to Cochrane for a class. I have now been to at least 6 in three weeks. The drive is 35 minutes each way, so it's a bit of a committment however, there was an intro $50 unlimited 1 month pass, so I took advantage of it rather than paying $18/drop in. (Yes, people in Alberta are nuts to pay this ...their teachers are nothing compared to the West Coast - just sayin'). I like that there is a hot room as well as a regular room. I haven't tried the regular room yet as I am used to, and love, heated classes. I have done Monday/Wednesday and Friday 930 am classes as well as some lunch classes. What I like is the Friday 930 am vinyasa - lots of variety, music and ability to work at all levels. Hatha classes bore the heck out of me, but in a pinch I'll go. I'm not fond of no music - and so far there is only 1 musical class I have attended. I am going to try the Cowboy class they list as well as an evening class taught by a male instructor on Mondays, with my nearly broken DH. We are also going to try bringing our 6 year old to a kids class next Saturday while we practice in tandem - great idea. All in all, it's a decent studio and I am considering buying a monthly pass. I wish they had more musical classes....they just let you get into a zone. They have showers and some things to dry / tie your hair up. It's also great to have a cold lemongrass facecloth at the end of the hot room classes - maybe the others too, but I've not heard. I will update if possible.
