Fitness Plus

Everyone that works here AND works out here is always friendly and nice!!! Older crowd works out here so it’s relaxing, and tons of equipment and space. Always very sanitary and clean. I’ve been going here for years, and so did other members of my family. Would recommend this gym to anyone. Avoid Goodlife!!!

Bought my second 1 year membership and I’m so glad to be back. Everyone is friendly, the facility is clean and there are lots of workout options from the beginner to the all out exercise guru.
The trainers are top notch and listen to what you want to achieve while you are there but are firm and will put you though your paces to reach your goal.
The only thing I wish there was was more parking.

Good gym, good staff. Not overly busy which is nice you can get in and out in under 2 hours which can be challenging at corporate gyms.

This gym is decent. I purchased a one year membership at a charity silent auction, and it is close to work, so I checked it out.
I’m an early morning (6am) workout person, so nearly all of my gym visits were then. The only early class they have is Spin, 2 days per week — and it’s a good class, but tough.
It’s pretty quiet in the mornings, with a smattering of maybe 20 people most days, primarily older. The parking lot is small, but I think a lot of people walk over, so it’s not bad. Most of the equipment is ok; decent, working, but old and maybe a little tattered.
The couple times I did go later in the day it was busier and tougher to find parking, and there were quite a few more «serious» gym-​goers, making a lot of the equipment busy as well. They do have a daycare, which I never used so can’t comment on quality, hours, etc.
Overall, ok. I probably won’t renew at the $ 600 annual price once my one year is up.

I joined Fitness Plus almost 2 years ago when I moved back to Calgary. It’s in my neighbourhood, which makes it convenient and difficult to ignore on the way home from work. Fitness Plus has the potential to be such a great gym! Unfortunately there are a few things holding it back.
Things I like:
Great location. Can usually find parking in the lot out front or nearby. They have a great area to work out in if you like using free weights. Lots of mirrors and equipment on the first floor. They have great classes! This is important to me… sometimes I lack motivation! If I go to a class, I know I won’t be tempted to leave part way through the work out. The Ripped classes are excellent and most of the instructors are fantastic (Bonnie, Ivy, Lesley…) People who go to Fitness Plus are generally pretty friendly. There’s a Second Cup next door… so you can grab a coffee and/​or a snack after your workout.
Things that need improvement:
Cleanliness. I have noticed that the floors in the room where the classes are held is often dirty. The cardio equipment and mats are often dusty or have dried sweat on them, leading me to believe that there probably isn’t a regular cleaning schedule. Kind of gross considering the amount of the people working out there.
Most of the cardio equipment is very old. The exercise bikes are in rough shape as well as some of the elliptical trainers. Pedals strokes are uneven and not smooth and some of the computers don’t function properly. The treadmills seem a bit better, although one of them started to smoke and emitted and electrical smell when my husband was using it last week. I’ve pretty much given up on using the cardio room for these reasons.
The change room (ladies)… even though there are signs that say that you can’t leave your stuff in the lockers overnight, its seems that many people do it anyways. This can make it tricky to find an unoccupied locker.
If Fitness Plus updated their cardio equipment and did a better job at keeping the facility clean, it would be a much better gym. Until then… I am looking in to some other options in the South end of the city.
