Bedrock CrossFit^®

Fantastic experience: First time working out here was awesome! There is lots of space and the equipment is new, clean, and well kept. I would definitely come back here.

Fantastic experience: Great people. Grat place to work out.

Fantastic experience: I was really nervous to join a gym for the first time after only ever working out at home, but everybody at CrossFit Elevate is so welcoming and friendly that I can’t imagine not going here now! The coaches are all incredible and make the classes really fun. There are always options for scaling the workout so it’s great for beginners if you’re new to CrossFit. I highly recommend trying a class here, especially the Saturday morning partner workouts!

Fantastic experience: Such an awesome Crossfit place! Great community, all people are always happy to be here! It's never easy to find a good place especially when there is some other places. We just followed our feeling and it was definitely the best choice we did! Thanks so much to the owner Amanda for everything you do and all of coaches!

Fantastic experience: I have called a few CrossFit gyms home over the years. After taking a break and having a baby, i wanted a woman owned, mother owned, child friendly, non-judgemental place to move my very different body. I needed coaches that understand postpartum and it’s struggles. Amanada (owner) welcomed me with absolutely zero judgment when I rebooked for about 3 weeks straight because I was nervous. It’s a clean gym, so incredibly welcoming and the knowledge and support of the coaches makes it easy to go… even on the “hard” days.

Fantastic experience: Definitely the best place to CrossFit for me. All the coachs and peoples are really nice, there's a special amazing community here. So glad i can be there and be part of it. Thanks to everyone and especially thanks to the owner Amanda to make these possible.

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Clean, incredible community, friendly people, wide open space with lots of equipment and options for getting in your training. Family friendly good space to set a positive example for your young kids. All abilities and ages welcome here. Can’t say enough about this place!

Fantastic experience: We did a drop in at Bed Rock. People were really friendly and the coach as well. We had a great workout and a great time, thank!!!

Fantastic experience: Great facility, Great staff!

Fantastic experience: Bedrock has an incredible gym, awesome vibe, incredible coaching and they care about each person at each workout. Our family is better being there, and it has changed our daughter's life.

Fantastic experience: Easy to walk into, great people, positive vibe, never in fear of hurting myself. Coaches are very professional and treat you like an old friend,

Fantastic experience: 5 years ago I was on the search for a new gym when our last one closed. We were in their area and saw a cute dog hanging out in the lobby so we decided to check it out. Little did we know how much of an impact that decision would have in our lives. My physical health and strength is the best it’s ever been and continues to improve every day. But what keeps me coming back is the friendship and laughs I get at every class. Whether it’s commiserating after a tough workout or playing a fun game of medicine ball ticktacktoe before our Saturday partner workouts, I know I’m going to leave physically and socially fulfilled. If you’re just starting out, a CrossFit expert, or anything in between, Bedrock is for you!

Fantastic experience: Wonderful CrossFit Affiliate! Woman owned, great coaching and just an all around fantastic community! Can’t recommended enough!

Fantastic experience: Great coaches, and a fun community. If you want to switch up your workout give this place a try.

Fantastic experience: I’ve recently started coming to this gym and I love it. The coaches are very attentive and are always trying to help you achieve your best. The building is clean, the equipment is kept in great shape, you can bring your kids and dogs, and it’s woman owned. I highly recommend coming here!

Fantastic experience: Bedrock has a welcoming atmosphere, with friendly and helpful coaches who care about everyone who sets foot in the gym. It’s truly a diverse community of driven, supportive, fun and kind individuals. The workout programming is some of the best I’ve experienced as well. Bedrock is woman owned, dog friendly, has great gym equipment, lots of space and wonderful people. What more could you want from a CrossFit gym?! If you’re in town and looking for a gym to drop in to, this is your gym! If you’re on the fence about joining Bedrock, just do it! All workouts can be scaled to skill and fitness level and you will be welcomed by everyone. 10/10 would recommend Bedrock to everyone.

Fantastic experience: A really inclusive gym which worked with my middle-aged-mom—unfit-no-muscle-strength-busy-self. Good folks.

Fantastic experience: Great kids program!

Fantastic experience: Words cannot explain how much the gym has impacted my life for the better. I started Crossfit 3 years ago because I was coming off a concussion that was not healing, gained a bunch of weight and had no stress outlet. When I started, they modified everything to my skill level and sure enough, my brain started healing and my mental health started positively being impacted. My original goal was to lose weight which I did (40lbs in 8 months) and now my goal has changed to get stronger and master the tougher Crossfit movements. Safe to say, I was looking for a gym but instead I found a home as Coaches and other members have become friends. If you think you need to be "fit" to start Crossfit or have any doubts whatsoever... step one foot through these gym doors and your mind will be put at ease. Amanda, thank you for taking a risk during Covid and keeping these gym doors open! I appreciate you so much!

Fantastic experience: Bedrock CrossFit is fantastic. Here is why I love Bedrock: 1) The coaching is solid and safe. I always feel challenged (which is a good thing!), but I never feel unsafe in any movement, and if I am not doing something properly, I get corrected. In particular, Coach Dawn is amazing. I feel strong and healthy, and it has been a while since I have felt that. 2) The community! I love the Bedrock community. Workouts outside in the summer, pot lucks, family friendly classes, and lots of like minded folks. And if you are eating paleo (or shades of paleo) - lots of good tips and tricks! 3) There is no ego here - I am a mom and not an elite athlete by any stretch, but I can show up and work alongside some very competitive crossfitters, and we are cheering each other on and celebrating each other's successes. If you are even a little bit curious, I would encourage you to attend one of the Open House workouts to test it out. You won't be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: Coach Dawn is one of the best CrossFit coaches in Calgary! She's able to scale workouts for the absolute beginners and guides you along through your personal journey. She has years of knowledge in both fitness & nutrition, so she can give you pointers to help you grow. Most importantly she cares, she wants to help you excel. Take a chance and make your life better!

Fantastic experience: I went in for a noon class and received a warm welcome from Dawn. Its a new box with a nice layout and and great people. I look forward to coming back if come through Calgary again. Thanks for having me!

Fantastic experience: Bedrock CrossFit takes the fear out of starting a strength and conditioning program. Coach Dawn is able to take focus on all her members individual needs while still maintaining an amazing class/workout. This is the ONE gym you want to go to if you are serious about your fitness and health. Dawn approaches all her classes in a way that every member feels welcomed and challenged. She is knowledgable in every aspect of health from diet to movements. You can approach her with any questions or concerns and she will point you in the right direction. Since working with Dawn I have become a much better athlete in and out of the gym. With her guidance I have gained a lot of new respect for myself and for the Bedrock Family. You are always welcomed here wether in a class of two or a group class if 12. Come out and try an open house, you will never regret stepping foot into this fresh new space.

Fantastic experience: I have been apart of the community since 2018 roughly. I started at the age of 12 in the teens program and fell in love with the sport and the community from day one. This gym especially has a very energetic and welcoming community that makes you feel proud no matter what skill level you're at. I've been apart of teens and regular classes and both classes are equally amazing. If your looking for a place to workout and to have that welcoming and joyful feeling, this gym is an amazing pick.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic people and facilities - felt very comfortable. Amanda and her team are great!!

Fantastic experience: Welcoming and great support!!

Fantastic experience: I've been taking the Crossfit Foundations course at Bedrock for the last couple weeks, and it has been phenomenal! The coaches are wonderful, and seem really invested in helping you succeed. Always a fun and tough workout.

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to Bedrock for over 3 years now. My life has gotten so much better as a result of walking through the doors for the first time. New places can be intimidating, but I immediately felt welcomed and accepted. I feel cared for and greatly helped by all of the coaches. Owner/head coach Amanda is an incredible human to look up to. I'm very grateful to her for keeping the gym running for all of us!

Fantastic experience: The cleanest gym in YYC, even before covid. The coaching philosophy is such that doing movements correctly and safely is much more important than going heavy or fast. All you have to do is show up and get into shape. Everything else is taken care of. The additional services such as nutrition, yoga, massage are all added bonuses to the exercise. Look at all the great reviews! What are you waiting for, just sign up! If you have never done CrossFit before, this is the place for you. The way Amanda and her team onboard new athletes to the sport is very approachable and not intimidating.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Great atmosphere and great staff! I love the environment they've cultivated here!

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere and great staff! I love the environment they've cultivated here!

Fantastic experience: Love this gym and community! They've been through some struggles this year but kept at it with a great online presence and home programs/videos! Excited to get into the new space and cheer Amanda on as new owner!

Fantastic experience: Thank you to the awesome coaches at Bedrock CrossFit! I dropped in and had two great workouts this week.

Fantastic experience: The best decision I have recently made was to sign up for a membership at Bedrock CrossFit. I had a regular gym membership to a large facility in Calgary since I moved out west in 2015. However, I found it hard to consistently stay motivated, and found myself always doing the same activities.. I had never lifted a barbell before, and never considered how much technique is involved in a "simple" movement such as a air squat or push-up. Bedrock's foundations program quickly showed me otherwise.. I got my butt kicked.. I learnt a lot about my own mobility deficiencies and gained an appreciation for movements I had never done before. The friendly atmosphere and awesome coaches got me hooked. The coaches always have your best interest in mind, and will work with you to scale the movements as required - ensuring you stay safe (but still get a great workout). The facility is well maintained and there is a large variety of class times that allow me to fit workouts into my irregular work schedule. I would recommend Bedrock CrossFit to everyone, it's an amazing place to meet others and get your sweat on.

Fantastic experience: The other day I completed 5km rowing in 38 minutes, which is an accomplishment for me. I have been at Bedrock Crossfit for three years and am getting stronger all the time. As an adaptive athlete (athlete with a disability) finding a place that encourages strengths and supports modifications was nearly impossible. Through a collaborative effort, we found each other and I couldn’t be happier. It can be a challenge to get cardio work with my legs, and if I do, it often takes much longer. I swim faster than I walk and I row faster than I swim. A few other accomplishments include a 100lb deadlift, a 50lb sit to stand (while holding the weight), and lunging. I am not sharing this to create a competition, as many people may be able to do this. I am sharing this with you so I can paint a picture. When I started crossfit journey over three years ago, I could not sit to stand without holding onto something or using my crutches, let alone holding any weight, and rowing 300 meters was challenging. The functional strength I have gained is helpful and transferable into my daily life. I can ski full runs from top to bottom, I can lift my 4 year old cousin with ease, I can place heavy boxes above my head into my closet, and I can brush snow off my car with ease (I won’t say this too loud, as we have been quite lucky this year). There are a few pieces of the puzzle that make Bedrock and incredible place to be. 1. Staff: the coaching and support staff at Bedrock Crossfit are incredible. They know what they are talking about and are continuously working to learn more to help all of the members in the gym. 2. Adaptability: The coaches and the athletes are phenomenal in this category, working with each other to make things works. Living with a physical disability some movements need to be adapted or modified. At times I will have thought of the workout and bring it as a suggestion and work with the coach on finalizing the work out. To add to this, even people with disabilities injure themselves. I informed the coaches of an injury and they aim to work to modify and adapt to continue working, but minimizing stress on the injury. 3. Collaboration: The coaches want to work with people and strengthen the potential weaknesses, as that leads to other movements improving. 4. Community: This is prevalent regardless of the class that you go to. Community exists and people care about others. Within community, people support each other, but people also challenge each other to do better. Bedrock Crossfit is engaged within the community, currently supporting Easter Seals Alberta. Bedrock Crossfit is an incredible gym, if you are looking for a place to feel supported, be challenged, be part of a community, disability or not, I highly recommend this gym.

Fantastic experience: This place is amazing!! Super happy with the facility and staff. Couldn't be happier that I chose to go here. I've never done any gym before and this place got me hooked! Life changing.

Fantastic experience: I joined Bedrock a couple of months ago and have never felt more motivated to get back in shape. I have tried so many other programs in the last five years and this is the only one where I actually look forward to going and feel consistently challenged and never bored. The coaches and other members are super friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Bedrock for anyone thinking of trying out CrossFit.

Fantastic experience: famtastic

Fantastic experience: I miss this place. Love from Las Vegas.

Fantastic experience: Excellent coaching, personal training

Fantastic experience: Bedrock has great coaches and great members. They are always helpful, attentive, and quick to adjust a rountine when needed. Having a tried two other gyms before coming here my opinion is this place is a cut above in every way.

Fantastic experience: Best place to work out!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to classes for over 3 years now. I attend the morning classes that provide complimentary child care (I have a 5yo). I really love my gym experience there. The coaches, Dawn, Amanda, Nolan and Deon, are fantastic. Specifically, they do a good job of explaining how exercises should be done and if I don't think I'm doing it right help me figure out how to get there. Also on the times that I have come in with minor injuries or concerns they are very knowledgeable about how exercises can be modified to accommodate it. However should you ever find yourself in the odd situation of things needing to be harder, they know how to do that too!

Fantastic experience: Great coaches. Lots of ability to adapt moves to my level. Gym is very clean

Fantastic experience: Great community, great programming, great coaching.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Bedrock for ~ 20 months now on average 3 x per week. They have great coaches and a great community of regulars that will push you and support you so that you hit your goals, and when needed will advise you to wisely pull back to avoid injury if you're not quite there yet. They also have great child minding services with plenty of parents that regularly attend. I highly recommend Bedrock!

Fantastic experience: I have been at Bedrock for almost 18 months, and am loving it. I was never a "gym" person, and didn't even own a pair of sneakers before I started my Foundations training. It has destroyed all the ideas I had about Xfit being pushy, scary, and even dangerous. The coaches are super knowledgeable, can scale classes to any skill level, and are supportive without being jerks :) It is a VERY supportive place for women of all ages, and has a great sense of community.

Fantastic experience: Great and clean Crossfit gym, coaches will help you achieve your fitness goals without hurting yourself.

Fantastic experience: Love this place! As an Athletic Therapist, it means a lot to me that they care about movement quality. They focus on helping you progress while also working on mobility, stability, and therefore injury prevention. Everyone's work-outs are slightly modified for them and for their own skill level, how they are are feeling that day, and what they need to work on. They always have your health and best interest at heart! Oh- and they are lovely people to hang out with too ;)

Fantastic experience: I was in town for work and dropped in at Crossfit Bedrock for a wod. Sure glad I decided to go here! I have been crossfitting since 2008 and have therefore been to my fair share of boxes. This box was super clean, well organized, and the coaches were very welcoming. Programming was spot-on and the members were great. Wouldn't hesitate to drop-in again!

Negative experience: I don't know why this place has this ratings , besides being very expensive, more expensive than other gyms around , this place is tiny, with very little equipment . The classes usually are about maximum 4 people witch I didn't like . Something that I really dislike was the fact that after working out they have a bottle with vinegar that you have to use to clean oh man the smell was awful, the owner is a micromanager everything has to be her way o no way, Micro-managers are bad news for business and bad news for employees. She dis-empower staff, stifle opportunity and innovation, and give rise to poor performance. Not a good experience for me .

Fantastic experience: If you’re anything like me the thought of Crossfit is intimidating, the idea of working out with a bunch of incredibly fit people scares the daylights out of you. Bedrock is the furthest thing from an intimidating, scary atmosphere. The coaching is amazing, everything can (and will!) be scaled to your specific abilities and goals. The gym itself is bright and clean, an overall great facility. The community is encouraging and supportive. I have never been one to be motivated to get myself to the gym but Bedrock has changed that – I’ve seen incredibly improvements in my strength, my body and probably most importantly, my mentality. I would recommend Bedrock to anyone!

Fantastic experience: I'm from out of town and dropped in for workout, great experience..staff are very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend visting if in the area

Fantastic experience: After a knee injury, the Bedrock staff got me working out again with the appropriate scaling. I love that I can get the full benefit of the workout while working within my limitations. My strength and flexibility has improved leaps and bounds. It has a great family and community feel. My son comes with me to the mom and dad class and we both have a blast!

Fantastic experience: Bedrock is a fantastic facility run by fantastic people. Workouts are always challenging and well thought out. The coaches make sure you are doing the movements correctly while always encouraging you to push your limits and progress.

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym, great coaching with a focus on correct movement and individual attention. The gym is very clean and a nice space to workout with nice amenities. I appreciate the child minding so i can workout while my kids play and have fun.

Fantastic experience: Needed something to get me motivated to get back in shape again and after touring a few different crossfit gyms I chose to stay here at Bedrock. The attitudes of the owners and trainers is all about safety and form over all else, this is big for me especially after my car accident and bad back. They help me push my limits in a safe manner with as little risk of injuring my body as possible.

Fantastic experience: Bedrock is a wonderful fitness environment. The coaches are helpful and care so much about the athletes. The facility carries so more then just crossfit, including registered massage therapy, and nutrition consulting. I very much enjoy to Bedrock.

Fantastic experience: Great box! Went there while in calgary for work. Dawn was a very knowledgable and friendly coach. The place is very clean with great amenities. I will be going back next time i am in calgary.

Fantastic experience: Such an amazing Facility with some of the best in the city!

Fantastic experience: Bedrock has a great atmosphere and offers workouts that are scaled to everyone's ability, whether you're a beginner or full fledged athlete. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable and fun to work out with. Would recommend going in just to see what's going on.

Fantastic experience: An amazing community of people who encouage you in your healthy lifestyle. The coaches are friendly, knowledgeable and supportive. Whether you are a beginner or seasoned althlete this box is for you!

Fantastic experience: Excellent and informed coaching and class work. BedRock is a welcoming and engaged community of diverse professionals. I did the foundations class and found the BedRock team to be very engaged with each persons goals and challenges. My workouts were scaled to challenge me at my current level all while paving the way to greater potential. Go to BedRock for a great place to workout.

Fantastic experience: I have been at Bedrock for around 9 months or so. I'm not super competitive or any kind of extreme fitness fanatic, and am generally shy when it comes to group classes. I have found Bedrock to be fantastic for me, thanks to my uncle Dan pushing me to go. Coach Dawn keeps the place immaculate...you'd be hard pressed to find a cleaner box! She is passionate about helping everyone progress no matter their fitness level, but with special attention to safety and health. Not only do I enjoy working with coach Dawn, but I also have a high level of confidence in her broad experience and knowledge in areas of fitness, weight training, health, diet and medical understanding of the body. There is clearly a lot of long term thought put into WOD programming and I appreciate the emphasis on focused warm up and mobility. I couldn't believe how much I progressed in my weight lifting and blew away all my previous max weights. I look forward to continued improvement, even if it is agonizingly slow, as is always the case with me! Keep up the great work Bedrock!

Fantastic experience: Bedrock CrossFit is an excellent gym! There's a diverse group of members, and everyone is very welcoming. The owner, Dawn, is a great person and a real professional. Dawn's extensive knowledge base in wellness spans far beyond the realm of CrossFit to include things like nutrition, kinesiology, and cycling. The staff is knowledgeable, and they all do a great job encouraging and communicating with the members throughout the workouts. Inside, the facility is kept very clean - I believe only all-natural cleaners are used. All of the equipment is first class. The location is easy to get to and offers free parking. For us parents, child minding is provided at certain times throughout the day. Other offerings include rowing, yoga, massage therapy and nutrition services. Once you walk through the front door and get that first class behind you, you'll keep coming back for more - I highly recommend Bedrock CrossFit!

Fantastic experience: I travel a lot and, I confess, I judge boxes by how they treat their drop-ins. Are the coaches and athletes friendly? Do they introduce themselves? Do the coaches try to gauge your skill level and experience so you won’t hurt yourself under their watch? Do the coaches actually coach you, even though you’re just a drop-in? The answers to all these questions were positive at Bedrock CrossFit. Coaches Dawn and Deon were extremely friendly and welcoming. Even though I’m a fairly experienced CrossFitter and coach myself, they had lots of helpful tips for me during my workout, which I greatly appreciate. All in all, a lovely box to visit while in Calgary!
