Sturgeon Valley Athletic Club Review

Friendly staff and members! It's like a family. Excellent trainers and fun classes. We love wine night and don't miss gin and spin! Gym equipment is well maintained as is the rest of the gym.

Great equipment, friendly staff who make you feel like you're coming home every time you walk in the door. Love the fact I can do an 5:45 AM workout, grab a coffee from the cafe on-site, and the get ready for the day.

Really wonderful birthday party we attended. My 1yr old has a lot of fun. They have a big play area with 2 climbing structures and very wide range of toys. The staff was wonderful, friendly and good with kids. Everything was very impressive. I like the layout: windows over looking play area from lounge & workout areas. It would be great to try the gym&spa while my son enjoyed the playcare section.

Staff are very friendly, equipment is top-notch, and the place is generally not overly busy-- which is good given the pandemic. I highly recommend.

Great place with great equipment and amazing trainers... Chelsea von grat!!

Great club. Very friendly and helpful staff. Always an enjoyable atmosphere that makes you want to keep going back.

Great gym. Lots of options in classes or just do your own thing. Real family oriented.

Hands down the best gym in the Edmonton area. Staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. Group classes are fantastic and the gym is never crowded.

A great facility for moms with an awesome play care attached.

I have been a member for over 15 years now. I always find new equipment for trying new exercises. This has kept my workouts interesting for all those years. Now I have started attending spin classes over the winter to bring some variety into my cardio workouts.
Great people, great place!

Really enjoyed the experience, a real fully equipped gym, that was clean, and had new equipment

It's a pleasure to exercise at this gym. The staff are friendly and helpful. The equipment is in excellent condition and they have a lot of equipment. The gym is always clean.
There is a massage chair and a sauna in the ladies change room. Both are a pleasure. There is a dining area which provides free tea or coffee. A variety of food is available for purchase.
I'd recommend this gym to anyone who wants a great workout and who likes to feel pampered.

Nice clean place , they have a nice playground . I wanted to have my sons birthday, but they were booked up , I am going to try for next year .

Exemplary child care first drew us to Sturgeon Valley Athletic Club. I remain a member today because of the fabulous staff, clean environment and proximity to home. Towel service, shampoo and other creams and lotions are also greatly appreciated. Excellent place to get your heart rate going.

My wife and I have been a member of SVAC for over 14 years and the club continues to meet our fitness needs and more! Fantastic facility, friendly staff (who know your name!), great classes and incredible instructors like Kathy G. and Kerri B. We love all the special touches like the towel service, member's lounge and access to state of the art technologies like the BodPod. The heart rate monitor system in the club is awesome! It is encouraging to see continued improvements and renovations to the club..something is always changing for the better. It is St. Albert's finest gym. Highly recommended.

This is a great facility . My wife and I enjoy the friendly staff and atmosphere . The daily programs offered by qualified staff are beneficial and helpful for the body and mind. After a work out , the lounge is a great place to have a coffee , tea etc , and visit with other members.

I am continually impressed by the staff of the club. They are very friendly and make each visit to the club pleasurable. The membership is personable and usually quick to offer words of encouragement. A great facility.

Very unprofessional staff to say the least. The lady Tracy was extremely rude. I would recommend taking your needs elsewhere. I couldn t give 0 stars but would if I could. Everyone else seemed friendly.

The cleanliness is top notch. Tracy is one of the very best instructors you ll ever meet. She s motivating, provides modifications if you need, knowledgable and goes above and beyond every class. You ll leave sweating and feeling your very best. I ve had to switch to doing her workouts online because SVAC got rid of playcare but they re equally incredible.

Sturgeon Valley Athletic Club is an excellent facility! I especially enjoy the fitness classes lead by Tracy. She always makes sure that her class gets a killer workout! She is passionate about her job and it shows! She always welcomes everyone with various fitness abilities to her class and makes sure you have a positive experience. She is always friendly and positive and really pushes you to reach your goals! I can tell you this instructor keeps me coming back!

Fantastic facility. They do everything well. Staff are knowledgeable, welcoming and super helpful. I've had memberships at YMCA Plus, City of Edmonton Facilities, World Health Clubs, and the Riverbend Athletic Club. SVAC is my favourite place by far. The extras are amazing: Health and Fitness assessments, three different studios, massage, member lounge, playcare, and I'm sure other things I don't know about. If you're serious about your health, this is the place to go.

I have been going for about a month and a half now. Friendly approachable staff every time I have been through the doors. Gym is always clean with no shortage of machines or floor space to train. I have also just introduced my 2 little ones to the child care play place. I was hesitant but got the warm fuzzy feeling leaving my kids in their hands. Overall its been great so far and I look forward to training instead of making excuses not to.

As a retired personal trainer I appreciate a well run club with a friendly and helpful staff. It makes me feel right at home. The equipment is great and the facility is neat and tidy.

Great lounge and playcare. Gym is well equipped. Faculty has towel service and saunas. Membership price is high but worth it. Only downside is only a few classes offered, mostly strength training focused or spinning and reservations must be Made as they full up fast typically

Absolutely love working out here. They recently have renovated and have all new equipment. I train with Chelsea and have made so much progress with her. All the staff is wonderful.

SVAC is hands down the best gym in Edmonton and area! The staff are extremely helpful, kind, and friendly. The gym is well spaced for social distancing and appropriate steps are taken for the health and well being of all members. If you want to really sweat and challenge yourself, enrol in a class with Tracy- she gives it 100% all the time and really cares about each members fitness goals. The manager Danielle is such a friendly and welcoming face when you come in. Highly recommend as a member for almost two years already.

Very much enjoying this facility. My 5yr old loves playcare so much he's never ready to leave when I'm done my workout!!!

Great facility for kids bday party. Well organized and maintained. Michelle was great with the kids.

This is always a friendly place, with lots of different work out machines, as well as free weights and weight machines. A clean, airy and open work out environment, with a nice lounge area to relax in after the workout and chat to friends and fellow club members.
Steam room in the men's change room is also a great way to relax.

Super clean! New equipment with lots of space between them.

Very happy with the variety of classes available at no extra cost.
Excellent instructors and staff that make you feel welcome and are very approachable and supportive.

I've been going to SVAC for a number of years now and I'm pleased that I have. When I enter the gym I'm greeted by name and with a warm welcome. When I'm done my workout I'm always asked how it was. It makes me want to stick to my routine! Not something I've ever experienced from going to one of the larger gyms that are part of a chain.

Keep up the good work, SVAC!

I like the fact of a smaller atmosphere, as you get to know a lot of people, Staff is friendly even know your name and are helpful with anything you need.

Also I like have the towel service with all the other amenities that are provided in the club, like the coffee and snacks.

Super covid safe! Knowledgable instructors. A gym for all

I find the SVA a wonderful place to work out. Equipment is in great condition, staff are super friendly. It is a comfortable place for me to exercise (being that I am NOT an athlete or even particularly athletically inclined)

They have indoor playplace, can host birthday with staff attented. Nice sitting area for coffee

my experience of you club together with the hospitality can not be described in words! simply, I am exited! I hope to see you very soon. thanks again ...

Fantastic gym equipment... Great staff... Wonderful amenities... But the absolute best is the Play Care for my children. I can have a two hour workout and the kids still don't want to leave. If you have kids, I highly recommend this gym!

Such an amazing place that really gets being a parent. It's super accommodating for mom and I love that. I love the playcare area and the staff are friendly. Thank you for great service.

Really nice equipment. It was very quiet and staff was very dedicated to proper cleaning of equipment. A place to fill water bottles with cold water would be a bonus!

I recently had the opportunity to follow a workout routine courtesy of Josh Hauptman, one of the SVAC trainers. I feel that he did a great job of putting together a simple, easy to follow start-out program for me. He offered to meet periodically with me to modify the program and review my progress, something that I said would be of value to me as I would not be using a personal trainer as a workout partner. I appreciated the way that Josh listened to my situation and suggested ways to make it a "win - win" arrangement for us both.

Josh made it easy for a retired teacher, one used to giving direction and suggestions, to become the student and get his questions answered.

I have been a member of SVA club for many years. I have contemplated joining other cheaper clubs and have tried them out a couple of times. What keeps me here is the very comfortable social feeling here. We all kind of know each other here. After our workout we can meet for coffee and solve life's problems and do sudoku and crosswords in the local papers provided by the club.The classes included in our membership are excellent. I am not one to go on machines alone and I enjoy the camaraderie of the classes. Our instructors are excellent,

After 20+ years at various gyms in the Edmonton area, I can honestly say SVAC is one of the best! Everyone is so friendly and welcoming - it's a great environment for you to achieve your fitness goals. The gym is outfitted with new equipment and technology, and they're meeting and exceeding health and safety protocols due to Covid-19. All the group classes are awesome, especially Tracy's. I have followed her from other clubs because she is a great trainer and motivator, she challenges you to work hard, and she is obviously very passionate about health and fitness. Once you experience SVAC, you won't want to go anywhere else!

I cannot speak highly enough about the quality of this gym. I have been a member of various gyms and clubs in the Edmonton area and this is by far the best experience I have had. The classes are amazing and for one reasonable price you get unlimited access to spin, yoga, circuit training, HIIT, barre, Pilates ... the list goes on and on. It would cost me double what I pay to have a month unlimited of ONE of those options. With this club, I have them all plus access to a gym with modern equipment, towels, and a nice change room. The staff are so friendly and there is a cute lounge area to grab a free beverage after working out. I never write reviews, but have been attending this gym for two months now and am so impressed that I felt I had to go online and give a positive review. You will not regret giving this place a try!

service with a smile, staff is great, the environment is clean and very friendly members
right from the time you enter you get treated like gold
