6/5 if I could! I'm in Calgary on business for the month and decided to get a membership at the Academy since they offer single months / no contract (which is an amazing offering btw on it's own) and also booked some personal training sessions. The gym is so incredibly welcoming, encouraging, clean, and spacious for a boutique gym. I felt comfortable immediately! Dianna was my trainer for three weeks and I honestly am sad to be leaving. She has a HUGE amount of knowledge, took all of my goals very seriously and was very conscious of my past injuries and capabilities. I cannot recommend her enough. TRULY. If you're thinking of trying a new gym - run don't walk to the Academy and work with Dianna! Cannot wait to come back and train with her again!

It's a private feeling, the instructors are so friendly and high energy, the work out classes are beautifully crafted and the music is excellent. The entire building is up kept nicely. It’s clean and welcoming, sleek and the towel service is a beautiful touch! The Academy has so much diversity in what you can get from a membership be it solo working out, personal training or classes. Would rate it high than 5 if I could! (Also their charity events are so fun and a great way to support the community!) (photo is me in the locker room after a tour)

I was invited into the Heavens family to workout this last weekend. I took Daly's yoga class and it was outstanding! Great challenging practice with lots of support, encouragement and great music in a beautifully peaceful zen like studio. The next day I took Ashley's "Turbulent" class and the only way I can describe it is intense. She is full of energy, enthusiasm and encouragement for her students. The next day I felt the best kind of sore knowing I got a good workout. This is such a welcoming and supportive gym. I highly recommend it.

  • Tina Sarkar

I could not speak more highly about this gym! The entire staff is amazing, it's quiet and clean! They offer a variety of packages for those who like classes and just standard gym use, all very affordable too. So much better than the bigger gyms downtown, GoodLife etc. needs to take a page out of their book. Nice steam room and towel service, plus free parking! So sad to be leaving as I am moving, but please give them your patronage!

  • Sandy B

Experienced 2 fantastic classes today at this fitness club. Both challenging in different ways. I’ve yet to master the level of cardio and strength required to ace a Turbulent class but I never get sick of trying. And the yoga/Pilates after was perfect. Also hard but just what I needed. Shout out to Tom at the Front Desk, knows everyone and helps with anything we need. Love this place for so many reasons.

Helen is a phenomenal instructor. I have taken many courses over the year and she is up at the top of list for best instructors. My former career was in organizing professional development, so I have been exposed to many presenters and Helen is one of my favourites. She teaches the finer points and keeps things moving along and is very engaging.

  • Gabi Diner

This is a fabulous gym: lots of equipment, clean facilities, and plenty of space to workout without bumping shoulders. Everyone at the front desk is lovely and the classes on offer provide a great variety of workouts by awesome instructors. Pricing is reasonable with lots of different options for those who need flexibility.

  • Tiffany Stanbra

I love the whole vibe at The Academy. Everyone is welcome. I love the classes and the focus on solid advice and methods instead of whatever is the current fitness fad or trend. The instructors are always willing to work with me when I have an issue or pain to help me figure out the cause and work towards improving my form.
