Capital City Athletics

Fantastic experience: Capital City Athletics is such a great gym. The coaches, owner, and athletes are all awesome. I have consistently done different types of training over the years yet I was a bit nervous to try a CrossFit style gym because I thought it would be intimidating. It has been the total opposite. It’s a very welcoming place and you can go as hard or as easy as you want to during the workouts, all with great encouragement from the coaches and other athletes. I appreciate the mobility work and corrections from the coaches. They make sure we are doing things properly so we avoid injuries. My posture and mobility have improved a great deal since I started here 9 months again. Working out is fun again!

Fantastic experience: Dropped in for a training session, Super clean facility and equipment! Love the space and variety of equipment. Definitely recommend checking it out for a good workout!

Fantastic experience: Very clean and spacious facility. I was impressed at how clean and well kept all the equipment was. Very welcoming and great atmosphere to train!

Fantastic experience: Warm, super inviting community, filled with fist bumps and +encouragement. I have felt so welcomed by coaching staff and other members. If you are looking for efficient, effective, functional workouts, surrounded by a community to help keep you accountable and coming back, this is it. The coaching is highly professional and has fostered my sense of confidence in a gym atmosphere. Clean environment, showers available, easy to use app to sign up for classes, and multiple class time slots throughout the day. I want everyone to know about this place. It is really changing my quality of life for the better.

Fantastic experience: I could not imagine a more welcoming and inclusive community! The coaches are excellent, very supportive and highly skilled. I have been able to get into the best shape of my life and it is because of the positive atmosphere and outstanding coaching. I expect to continue to come to this gym for a long time and would welcome any newcomer to come and give it a shot!

Fantastic experience: Go for the fitness, stay for the people.

Fantastic experience: Great place with great coaches. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: CCA is honestly a hidden gem. The coaches are awesome and super helpful when it comes to correcting your form and finding exercise modifications. The community was super friendly and welcoming since day 1! So glad I found this place!

Fantastic experience: I've been going to CCA now for a few months and I've been so happy with the people and the instructors. Clayton and the rest of the instructors are supportive and helpful with the workouts and down to earth. I'd highly recommend this gym!

Fantastic experience: Been going here for over a year, they have a friendly, fun and welcoming atmosphere and the training is challenging and rewarding.

Fantastic experience: Amazing athletic experience. Suited to participants at all levels. Coach Clayton provides a welcoming and supportive atmosphere that promotes success.

Fantastic experience: Amazing coach and amazing people! Having had my share of bad gym experiences (rude people, etc) and feeling extremely out of shape, I was nervous to even walk through the door. But, from my first class I found a group of people who were completely supportive of each other and welcoming to newcomers. There is no doubt this environment has been cultivated carefully by head coach and owner Clayton - questions are encouraged, all workouts are explained thoroughly and he is very mindful of making sure you are doing things properly to avoid injuries. The different class times offer lots of options to fit around any schedule.

Fantastic experience: Great CrossFit gym with awesome community feel. Despite being in a central location in QMP, there is lots of free (street) parking available. Programming is well thought out and can be scaled to any fitness level. They also have sleds, kegs, various sizes of tires and atlas stones which you don't often find at other gyms. The change room space is large and has showers. Highly recommend this gym whether you're a beginner or long time CrossFitter!

Fantastic experience: If you’re looking for a Box gym where you don’t feel intimidated coming in as a beginner or a new person then this is your place. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable and very caring of their members health and well being. Whether you are an experienced athlete or just a beginner, 18 or 50 years old, it doesn’t matter, you are treated with the same level of enthusiasm and encouragement. All workouts can be scaled to your ability. I strongly recommend Capital City Athletics.

Fantastic experience: best crossfit place I know of. Its also the least busy.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in the city!!! Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: This gym changed my life and helped me rediscover my love of fitness and Olympic weight lifting. In addition to having a great culture, the programming / coaching is exceptional. With great coaches and and inclusive culture, I don’t think you’ll find a better gym / box in Edmonton

Fantastic experience: Solid WOD’s at this box with a focus on correct technique to avoid injury. Really enjoyed working out in Clayton’s classes during a recent trip to Edmonton, highly recommend this gym. Very welcoming to newcomers.

Fantastic experience: Came in from out of town to get some training sessions and Clayton was amazing and professional. I will definitely be back to train more when I come in and I reccomend this place 150%.

Fantastic experience: Came in for a drop in while on a business trip in Edmonton and got a great workout with a great group of athletes! I’ll be back for sure.

Fantastic experience: Dropped in over the holidays. Very good programming. Clayton was very accommodating even stuck around when it was only me! Definitely recommend

Fantastic experience: I had quit CrossFit for six months after another gym had declared me a “lost cause” because I’m working out for weight loss. I decided to give this gym a try based on google reviews and I’m so glad that I did! Best gym in Edmonton hands down! Amazing staff, friendly members and I’m making so much progress. Would recommend to anyone looking for a great place to get healthy!

Fantastic experience: Capital City is an excellent facility with great coaches! They create a fun, but challenging team environment. It keeps you engaged and motivated. Clayton is extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He has gone out of his way to work with me on techniques to improve my mobility, something I have previously struggled with.

Fantastic experience: Amazing atmosphere! I came from out of town to drop in and was pleasantly surprised with the friendly service the staff gave! Thank you! I will definitely drop in again when I’m in town.

Fantastic experience: This place is so great! Amazing community feel, coaching is great and super nice people! I was from out of town and came in to get a Workout in and I felt right at home! I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone who is visiting Edmonton or just wanted to join crossfit!

Fantastic experience: Great gym, great people, great environment

Fantastic experience: For the longest time I was hesitant to try crossfit because of all the horror stories you hear about poor training of form and the destructive nature of the movements. All of those worries get put to rest here because Clayton and the team make sure you're always doing everything right and in a safe manner. I have been going to Capital City Athletics for the better part of a month now and have been having a blast. I am notoriously challenged with finding something that keeps my interest long enough to see results as well as helps me see results. I am getting both of those things here. Best of all everyone who attends this gym is super nice and welcoming so you automatically feel like part of the crew. highly recommend checking it out.

Fantastic experience: I have been going for two months and am really impressed with the coaches, and the atmosphere of the gym. Everyone makes you feel welcome, there is no pressure. The coaches take the time to explain and show you how to do things properly. I have already in two months smashed personal records and have set new goals to aim for. Worth a try and good value for the price.

Fantastic experience: My experience here has been great! The gym is very spacious and the programming is great. Since going to CCA, I have become a lot stronger and can do things I thought I wouldn't be able to do. The atmosphere at CCA, including the space, people, coaches and the programming, is why I really like CrossFit so much!

Fantastic experience: This is a photo of me dying at Capital City Athletics. Probably one of the WORSE photo but I can honest say I've probably felt the BEST in my life! Provided Ive never done crossfit in my life, joining CCA I definitely came into it with some concerns and not knowing what to expect. As of writing this, I've been doing this for 4 months and the results are amazing! The coach/owner Clayton truly loves what he does, he cares about doing things properly, taking your time and getting the techniques right. The classes are challenging but fun, you learn alot and definitely push you to challenge your self. Your classmates are more than likely in the same boat as you who wants to work hard, have fun and get a great work out! Try it if you're not sure, I've told all my friends about it and this has truly changed the way I look at my training!

Fantastic experience: I have a crush on Clayton. I come here to watch him coach

Fantastic experience: I started CrossFit a couple years ago at another gym, and while they pushed me to work hard and I loved my coaches, but nothing has compared to the inclusive atmosphere at CCA Crossfit. The people are friendly, and have created a community where all are welcome. The skill level ranges from true beginners to competition level athletes. This gym is a safe space for many and welcoming to all people. Come in and try a class, you'll have fun and be amazed at what your body is capable of!

Fantastic experience: I went in this morning to try CCA out and it was definitely a challenging and effective workout! Clayton was very informative and I liked his sequence of exercises. I'll definitely be back.

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere, great coaching, great programming and great people. I've make tremendous increases in mobility and strength since I started there. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: This box is amazing with great location- close to downtown, U of A, and Grant Mac with lots of parking !! Coaching staff is super friendly and helpful. I wouldn't recommend anywhere else in Edmonton!! There are lots of classes so if you have a busy schedule, this is the place to be !!!

Fantastic experience: When I started with CCA, I had been going to your typical gym for years but had been finding myself disinterested with it. I was always aware of crossfit but was unsure based on my prior assumptions regarding the intensity of the workouts. After My first few sessions I was definitely hooked, they vary from day to day and week over week. Allowing you to experience different exercises focusing on strength, cardio and core. The coaching has been great and the atmosphere with the other participants has also been great. There is no pressure to push yourself beyond your abilities, everyone works at their own pace and within their own boundaries. I have definitely seen a significant improvement in my abilities with crossfit but also in other activities I participate in outside of the gym.

Fantastic experience: My name is Kat and I started at CCA 5 months ago. I was extremely nervous to try Crossfit as I have never lifted any weights. My fears disappeared from day one when I met the coaches. They took the time to train and make sure the movements were done properly. Then there are the other athletes in the gym who I have met. Simply put, they are the most amazing and encouraging group to learn and grow with. CCA has truly changed my fitness world. I look and feel better then I ever have and I want to encourage everyone to check this place out.

Fantastic experience: This gym was my first experience at Crossfit and it was the best choice that I ever made. It's an inclusive gym where working out is fun and addicting. The coaches are great people who work to your best interest. The community that this gym has is something that not everywhere has.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in the city! Everyone is super friendly and welcoming. The facility is large, clean and has nice change rooms and showers. Coaches and programming are great. There is something for everyone here - from beginners who have never worked out to competitive level athletes.

Fantastic experience: In love with this gym and the people! If you have heard bad things about crossfit try out CCA and you'll put all doubt aside. The coach's are amazing at making sure your technique is sound and you are lifting the proper weight.

Fantastic experience: I've been working out at CCA for the last 4 months and really love it. This is the first time "committing" to CrossFit for an extended period of time and I am seeing great results! I am feeling more lean and more strong than I have in a long time. The gym has a great atmosphere and all of the coaches who really know what they're doing. Lots of nice, welcoming members of all fitness levels and abilities.

Fantastic experience: I wanted to change my workout routine, I felt like I wasn't pushing myself hard enough so I decided to try CrossFit. Let me tell you something, I've tried multiple facilities, but there is nothing like Capital City Athletic, the moment I walked in I had a fellow gym goer introduce themselves, which I can safely say has never been the case. You have such an amazing team of people supporting and encouraging you, the love is overwhelming. I am still learning and improving but since I've joined (2 months ago) I've noticed a huge improvement in my performance. I can honestly say I look forward to every class. Everyone is friendly, Clayton is really knowledgeable and everything is scaled, so you don't have to feel intimidated. It's always hard to try something new and get out of your comfort zone, but trust me, you will not regret it!

Fantastic experience: Clayton and the team at Capital City athletics create the most welcoming and fun gym experience I've ever had. The workouts are hard - but everything is scaled to your athletic ability and adapted for injuries or limitations, so you always leave feeling like you've improved. Definitely worth checking out - I love it here!

Fantastic experience: This is the very best gym experience I've even had. Clayton is a great coach and motivator. He works with close you if your new to crossfit or experienced. The workouts are amazingly fun, but the very best part is the family feel of CCA. Clayton and the others just welcome you like family and are there for you every step. You must drop by for a workout!

Fantastic experience: This gym is awesome! The coaching is awesome and so are the members that go. :) We are all their to not only help ourselves but to also help and support our fellow gym members. Clayton does an amazing job coaching and making sure you are doing the proper movements so you can get the full benefit of the workout. Highly Recommended!

Fantastic experience: I've been training here for a few months now and love the atmosphere. The people are great, the coaches are knowledgeable and laid back, and the facility is nice and well maintained. I would highly recommend for anyone interested in fitness to come try CCA!

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough good things about this gym. From the facility, to the coaches and the members, it's such a friendly and encouraging atmosphere. Group fitness is something I really enjoy and look forward to each day I go. Whether you are a beginner or experienced Crossfitter, this gym is the place to be.

Fantastic experience: I welcome anyone to come try out a class or join this gym. I see members of all fitness levels working out together and safety is always the main concern with the trainers. Whether you’re a seasoned crossfit pro or just a beginner you should come check it out. We have lots of both and even more in between. There’s no egos or hot heads here. The head coach, Clayton, is highly knowledgeable, awesome at explaining the workout and always takes time one-on-one when you need it. He especially takes time to make sure everyone knows the proper movements for difficult lifts. If you just want to practice with the bar or even a PVC pipe, you won’t be alone. The atmosphere is fun and everyone knows everyone’s name. If you ever needed motivation to keep going to the gym, how about always seeing friends every time you come. The facility is bright and large, the equipment is new and the individual showers and washrooms are clean. There’s lots of bumper plates, new grippy bars, Concept2 rowers, ropes, atlas balls, dumbbells, kettle bells, weighted balls, etc… You name it they have it. There’s tons of parking for being right in the middle of Edmonton too. Like lots. You never need to worry about parking here. Stop reading reviews and just come. I know you’ll love it.

Fantastic experience: I love this gym! Everyone is extremely friendly and supportive and I'm happy to see familiar faces every time I go. I'm greeted by name and I get a lot of one-on-one time with the coaches during class. I feel completely safe doing all of the workouts and the coaches ensure everything is done correctly and with proper form. They never push you past your comfort zone unless you want them to. The facility itself is very large and very clean. There are private showers and all the equipment is all new. Also, there's tons of parking. Being so central you'd think it would be hard to find parking, but I've never had to park more than 5 cars from the front door. This gym is more like one big fitness family, except everyone is welcome. I encourage anyone to check this place out.

Fantastic experience: I have never felt so comfortable walking into a gym setting. I have been coming for almost a year and still love showing up. The workouts are always challenging, yet fun. The atmosphere is amazing and I have met some great people. All age ranges and all fitness levels. Our coach Clayton has great knowledge of all movements. Teaching you to push yourself with safe technique. I am happy to call CCA my home away from home.

Fantastic experience: Clayton is a great coach and the group is full of friendly really people who really challenge each other. I like the CrossFit format - lots of variety in the workouts and I don't have to think about it. Get in there, get it done and get back to work feeling refreshed. And yes parking is easy and free!.

Fantastic experience: Whether you're a novice who doesn't quite know where to start and is looking for a place that's challenging (but not too intimidating),or a warrior who always wants to kick it up a notch, this is probably the place for you. Offering classes for smaller groups (12 or less), this is a place that actually offers two types of training in a single class - some Olympic lifting followed by an intense Workout of the Day. First timers will appreciate the knowledgeable instruction and supportive environment. More advanced athletes will appreciate the broad spectrum of the training, all designed to improve both your strengths and weaknesses. Everyone's a winner at the end of training and goes home a little wiped out but satisfied.

Fantastic experience: Best experience at the gym ever. Always was intimidated by it all. Can't say enough great things about Clayton and this place !

Fantastic experience: I had a great first experience there. Everyone was so kind. I was impressed that Clayton could run that whole gym by himself. I felt like Clayton was really good at making sure everyone knew what to do. He didn't follow just one person, he helped everyone equally. It was really cool.

Fantastic experience: The coaches and the people at this gym are wonderfully warm and welcoming, even to those of us who don't feel like we are ready to show off rock-hard abs. I get a great workout and always look forward to the next session to get in a really good sweat.

Fantastic experience: Coach is amazing!!! The gym has an amazing team atmosphere Workouts are challenging enough to kick your ass, but are suitable for all levels of training love the encouragement you get to just do your best from everyone Location is fantastic... work downtown... workout downtown... live downtown! #boom Anyways i legit love this place and highly recommend it!
