Calgary Gyms And Fitness Centers Take In A Full Range Of Facilities.

Swimming pools, spas, squash courts, handball court, weightlifting,bowling and all other imaginable types of physical exercise facilities can be found among the dozens of locations to choose from.

For example:

The YMCA has no less than 5 complete facilities spread all around the city.

Then there is the YWCA located on 5th Avenue SE.

We all know what these 2 institutions bring to the community, and I am sure at one time or another , just about everyone has been involved in one or more of their programs.

However, in today's environment, with a much larger emphasis on “all things healthy”,the Gyms, health clubs and fitness centers are literally bulging with all kinds of specialty equipment to help us all achieve a Healthier,slimmer and firmer body.

Of course, at least for those who are able, a brisk daily walk will do pretty much the same thing, in my opinion.

But for the thousands of people who invade the downtown office towers every day, the multitude of public and private gyms, spas,health clubs and fitness centers makes it a lot more attractive to get the daily exercise that the long commute would otherwise prevent them from getting.

Some of the best known facilities were referred to above and I will now list some of the other facilities, some of which are known internationally as well.

Let's start (in no particular order) with
The GoodLife Fitness Clubs of which there are 4 in Calgary,and these clubs primarily cater to the women in the community.

But it should be noted that “Alberta Self Defense” uses these premises to cater to their members.

Club Phoenix Health Fitness and Training
located on 1111-3rd Street SE since 1996 is a well established and excellent place at the edge of downtown Calgary.

Of course there is a rather extensive list of Top Gyms, Fitness Centers, Spas and Supplement Shops all over Alberta, on the ABBA site and some of those are part of the ones I am mentioning on this page.

Surely you have all heard the name SpaLady who operate 3 clubs in Calgary.

Right downtown there is the Bankers Hall Club
A 40,000 sq/ft facility with a cardiovascular and weight training area, two fitness studios, (one of which includes a badminton court and basketball hoop), four International Squash Courts, a 25 meter salt water swimming pool, a licensed lounge, and pro shop.

Also in the downtown you'll find the excellent and somewhat less expensive Western Canadian Place Fitness Center located at:707 - 8th Ave. S.W. P1 Level.

Now let's add : Heavens Fitness
located on 637-11th Ave. SW

It has been around since the early 1980 and has three aerobic studios, two weight rooms and multiple cardiovascular machines.

Let's also add the World Health Club which has no less than 8 facilities in Calgary.

There is no end to the list and even if I think I listed them all, you and I know that we missed the “most important ones”.

For example there are a number of Leisure Centers operated both privately and by the city.

To this we can add a few clubs such as The Calgary Winter Club in the north west and the Glencoe Club in the south west as well as at least 2 Gold's Gyms and the Fountain Park Club downtown.

Now before I forget .... and before you sign up at any particular Gym or Fitness Center I strongly recommend that you visit this excellent site: CanadianFittnessMatters.ca and get a copy of the Facility Checklist.

You'll be glad you did.

I just want to bring to your attention a totally different, but very effective fitness program brought to you by the Calgary Dance Studios

OK ... I think you are getting the picture.

There just is no good reason not to be (or get ) in good physical condition.

It was my pleasure to bring you some hi-lites of these gyms and fitness facilities and I hope you will take good care of yourself with or without them.
