Sweat City

Fantastic experience: What can I say about this gym? Nothing but stellar things. If you're looking for a space that provides structured and pre-planned workouts, personable trainers that will cheer you on as well as challenge you, and a welcoming community of members...look no further...plus the punching things part is a fun bonus!

Fantastic experience: So glad I joined this gym! I was pretty nervous to get back into taking care of my body after a long hiatus, but the owners and this gym are absolutely amazing. They were so welcoming and met me where I was at. After my intro month I bought a year membership even though I live 30 minutes away. I love it, great space, great instruction and great workouts!

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym! Great workouts. Owners are super friendly and helpful. Really helped me get stronger and healthier. Can't recommended this place enough!

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym for beginners and the experienced alike! A well run gym with lots of things to do, if you’re looking for a new gym highly recommend checking this place out!

Fantastic experience: This is by far the best place to get in a physical and mental shape. Nic and Evan are the best coaches and one of the best people I’e met. The only regret I have is that I did not join earlier!

Fantastic experience: It was the first familiar gym I've even been! Over there, you feel welcome and comfortable working out with other members, and you can even bring your pet or kids to join ❤️

Fantastic experience: This place is more than a gym, it’s an amazing community

Fantastic experience: Welcoming and hardworking atmosphere. Nicole was great and made me feel right at home, couldn’t have asked for a better introduction.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Calgary, very creative workouts that have greatly improved my physique and overall health. Everyday I learn something new that has helped my aging hips and knees. I can’t believe how much their workouts have improved my mobility, which had me sitting things out. It’s a great place to challenge yourself and be challenged as at first I didn’t believe I could do much. Evan and Nicole have been exemplary in not only answering my questions but creating a new workout challenge every day and even at times right on the spot. It feels so good to be able to do all those fun things that come with getting fit (I can’t believe how fast they got me back in shape!) like running! Digging in the garden, biking, skateboarding and just keeping up with my kid. Don’t hesitate sign up, as this place lives up to its name, you will sweat!

Fantastic experience: Nicole is an awesome human being! Thanks for being the way you are!

Fantastic experience: Fist time and first workout and I loved it! I haven’t worked out in over a year now, no reason but laziness. There was no judgement! I seriously thought I was going to get sick but Nicole was great at checking in and giving me a couple of workouts at the stations that let me catch my breath! If you’re considering a great workout, check this place out! You’re not only doing it for yourself but you’re supporting a true small business that are truly passionate about what they do! An added bonus, they are dog friendly so I can go for my workout directly after work and have my dogs hang out!! Best gym I’ve been to in like forever!

Fantastic experience: New joiner as of February 2023. At the start I was extremely... violently out of shape! Evan and Nicole made it easy to start and keep coming back. Finding Sweat City to be a very unique and fun gym! I'm a person who does not enjoy "gyms". Lost track of how many gyms I've paid for and not gone to! Evan and Nicole make your experience both fun and productive. Really impressed with their knowledge and instruction. I've been almost every day this month; which, again, is groundbreaking for me. My wife can't believe it! Also, they're not kidding about the community. People there have been kind and easy going, regardless of their fitness and skill levels. I don't think I could recommend Sweat City more! I'd give it 6 stars if that were possible!

Fantastic experience: An incredible gym and community! Love that you get the best of both worlds and can run through great pre-designed workouts or do your own thing.

Fantastic experience: Nicole and Evan are so fun to train with and absolutely bring the best out of you for the workout.

Fantastic experience: Sweat City is EXACTLY what I have been looking for and other gyms miss the mark! I personally need someone giving me a program and a trainer there to motivate me to keep pushing myself. Recently, I have been getting tired of logging into gym apps at midnight every night to try to snag a spot in a class to make this happen--and Sweat City let's you skip that! New circuits every day, you come in and start when you are ready so no need to wait on endless waitlists. You also always get 1:1 kickboxing sparring with Evan or Nicole who, in addition to being fun and easy to hang out with, are great motivators ans teachers. It's also extremely affordable considering the dedicated time and growth you get with the trainers, especially compared to other gyms. I'm so happy to have found it!

Fantastic experience: Love this gym and the owners. Being able to do a different work out each day on my own schedule is awesome.

Fantastic experience: Just did a trial and absolutely loved the space and the community - will definitely go back!

Fantastic experience: I went with a friend who is working out over there. I have never done any combat like type of training but Evan was extremely friendly and helpful. Loved it! Love the concept too. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Sweat City for a month now M-W-F at 6:00AM. I fully endorse this gym/business to any and all that are on the fence. Here is my review: First off, super friendly and welcoming for me to check everything out,. They were very responsive through e-mail/text to get me the information I needed without being pushy. Touring the gym it was clean, everyone was super friendly so I signed up. More than most of us had the "Thanos Snap" over the pandemic and got out of shape, I was not special. Trying on my old gym clothes was embarrassing and I had to go to the store to size up. First class was leg day, I was swimming in sweaty clothes day 1. I was lent a heart rate monitor to track my workout, post workout results were sent right away to my email and it was motivating as the old dog still had competitive juices in the blood. I committed to showing up, that's more than half the battle in getting back to "yourself". The vibe is encouraging, never pushin old injuries, just making sure a good HIIT workout was done. Every session had a different workout and over the month I have not had two of the same circuit which is great! I have done performance centres, studio training, standard gyms, bought weights and machines for home but the motivation to get up at sunrise, kick my butt into gear and tone the butterball has been working awesome at Sweat City Calgary. I am down 15 pounds while enjoying a night here and there of indulgence. At the end of my month into Sweat City Calgary I decided to extend my membership and continue and would recommend this gem to any and all that want the flexibility to get back into a training mentality. Thank you Sweat City Calgary! - Decklun McBride

Fantastic experience: Sweat city is like going to that childhood friends house that makes you feel like family the second you walk in. The workouts are great and Nicole and Evan are the best. Lots of encouragement and very personable. They get to know you and care about your goals. I highly recommend you check it out, you won’t be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: This place is the BEST gym going around. I LOVE that I can turn up at any time and jump straight into the program. With 3 kids I never know when I’m able to turn up so I never need to worry about missing a class! Nicole and Evan are amazing, fun and caring trainers and the gym has the BEST community of people too. No matter your age or fitness level, I guarantee you will LOVE it here.

Fantastic experience: Sweat City has been by far the best gym I have ever joined. Family owned and operated, Nic and Ev put so much love, time, and effort into making the gym a happy and safe space. The workout itself is incredible, it is a combination between technical, cardio and weights, you are sure to always go home drenched in sweat. I have been at Sweat City since November 2021, and go 5 days a week. Whether I am having a bad or a good one, the gym always puts me in a better mood.

Fantastic experience: This place is amazing!! Nicole and Evan are the nicest people ever and have created a welcoming, non-judgemental environment to workout. I came never having tried kickboxing once and they taught me the skills so patiently. I feel like I’ve already made progress within one month of going! Highly recommend ‍♀️

Fantastic experience: SWEAT CITY RULES!!!!! I love this gym. The community, the owners, the atmosphere...EVERYTHING about working out at sweat city is amazing! I have never felt so inspired to want to sweat so hard and become a stronger person! Physical strength is one thing but personal strength is way more important and Sweat City is the place to gain it! xoxoox!

Fantastic experience: Welcome to the 'Sweat Tribe'! Sweat City offers fantastic circuit workouts that are adaptable to all fitness levels and schedules. You decide how hard to push yourself and when your workout begins. Nicole and Evan are dedicated, knowledgeable, and friendly owners who are always there to coach, support, and encourage you throughout the stations. Tie your shoes, put on your wraps, and work to achieve your fitness goals. I recommend everyone try this gym at least once because then, you will be hooked!

Fantastic experience: Sweat City = Results. It's been almost a month since I joined Sweat City and I absolutely love this place. As owners and trainers, both Nicole and Evan are very pleasant, competent and customer-centric. Every day, there is a different workout routine, which makes exercising interesting and fun . I look forward to going to my workout at Sweat City every day, which is translating into visible results.

Fantastic experience: A wonderous local gym ran by a friendly duo who welcome you into the world of kickboxing with open arms, lots of tips, and perspiration friendly workouts. I had no experience with boxing or kicking, but I love it now. The workouts change every day, the 3 min stations keep you from concentrating on the hard work too much and no booking online is needed! Just bring your water and puppy if you have one. If not, there are usually dogs waiting to love you at the front.

Fantastic experience: I went into SweatCity for a workout, I left with a family. If you are looking for a positive, healthy, inspirational environment to support you in actualizing your fitness goals, this is the perfect place for you.

Fantastic experience: Sweat City...Nicole and Evan...what can I say about the gym and these two that would be enough? I don't have the words, but I can say that they have created a gym that is beyond anywhere else I've been. Our "tribe" is a direct result of their giving of themselves and their expertise and their amount of care that they have for their members. Beyond them as individuals, the gym itself is exhilarating and provides results. I love the honest approach to the workouts, the optional use of the back gym to just do your own thing with weights/bags, and the different workouts on each Block each and every day. The workouts are fun, energetic, and like I said, provide results. But the Tribe is really where the difference is in this gym. Having played sports all my life and into University, this gym is the closest thing I have ever come to after playing football on a University team. We ARE a Tribe. The members care about one another, and new members are made to feel right at home by Nic and Ev, and the other members. I love that everyone is willing to step in and provide guidance if needed. I have found no other gym that has the sense of family and community that ours does. This is, and always will be, my home away from home. Love this place!

Fantastic experience: I love this gym. my husband and I always have great work, the people who work out there are all super nice. The owners are some of the best people that you will ever meet. This place is welcoming of people in all shapes and sizes and helps you work towards your fitness goals. I am so thankful that I have found this hidden gem and if you are thinking of trying kicking boxing I would highly recommend Sweat Cit 100%

Fantastic experience: The BEST. A perfect mix of intense, fun, and technical workouts. Plus, Nicole & Evan make you feel a part of the family from Day 1. I spent years looking for this combination in a gym and finally found it at Sweat City. The fact that you don't have to book ahead and you can show up when works for you makes it that much better. 15/10 recommend!

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough good things about this gym! I have never been consistent with working out until I joined Sweat City. The credit goes to the amazing and supportive environment Evan and Nicole create. Every time I go I have fun and am challenged with new workouts! I can't recommend Sweat City enough.

Fantastic experience: This is the best gym I have ever been to! Dont be intimidated by the boxing - Evan & Nicole are the most supportive and kind coaches. Such fun workouts and a great community of people! I hope I never move away from Calgary so I can always go to this gym!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love the trainers, workouts and space! They make it so easy to fit in a workout whenever it works best for you. Would absolutely recommend for every skill level.

Fantastic experience: Evan and Nicole run an amazing gym with great workouts and strong community!! The members are all super welcoming and the workouts are awesome! We ❤️ Sweat City

Fantastic experience: Evan and Nicole the owners are the best people ever and are the reason why happily choose to drive here from the deep south to work out. Great community and camaraderie to be found here.

Fantastic experience: Came here on my visit to Calgary with a friend. Although I am not very into HIIT exercises and never did kickboxing before, I had a great experience here. I only had chance to meet Evan, but the gym community was very friendly and supportive. The workouts are very diverse and I felt that I worked out every part of my body including my lungs. Evan was great at adjusting the tempo and giving me breaks whenever I needed. 10/10 would come again and recommend.

Fantastic experience: This gym is an incredibly rewarding space! Not only are Nic & Evan (owners) involved and engaged with every member, but everyone is so dang nice! Frequently recognize other members, the workouts are different EVERY DAY, and the flexibility for workout times is what we've needed all along to being active everyday. I started out as a mega-beginner and I know it's daunting, but Nicole and Evan showed me the ropes and continue to support my progress today! The atmosphere is supportive, fun, and non judgemental. So many other ladies, all different ages, shapes, and sizes - I've never felt out of place! Also, there's always a few dogs hanging out there, even mine!! Highly recommend checking it out and giving it a try. You might just thank me!

Fantastic experience: Come for the workout, stay for the people. For years I worked out at a big gym and never talked with anyone. Now I'm getting to know the people who are getting sweaty beside me. I love the circuit training style and learning kickboxing. I do not enjoy being forced to use a southpaw stance but I guess it does "help me".

Fantastic experience: 210907 - First workout here. Great variety of stations, excellent intensity and fun. The whole circuit goes by fast. Looking forward to the next sessions.

Fantastic experience: Nicole showed me the how to workout at each station, corrected my form, and made sure to show me modified exercises when I needed them.

Fantastic experience: It is only 8 minutes from my apartment which is very convenient. I like the Mom n Pop owner environment as opposed to the globogym faceless corporation vibe of big places. I also like that I can get one-on-one instruction or be left alone if I choose. Joshua

Fantastic experience: This is the most amazing place and owned by wonderful people!

Fantastic experience: Evan and Nicole run a great and family-friendly gym that welcomes you in and pushes you to work hard. They are constantly changing their workouts which incorporates kickboxing and HIIT that keeps things fresh and keeps you wanting to come back despite your sore muscles. If you want to get fit, stay fit and have fun doing it, then I highly recommend checking out Sweat City.

Fantastic experience: I have and would recommend this gym to anyone who asks. Evan and Nicole restore my faith in community and people daily. They have easily gone above and beyond any other gym this town can offer. They are responsible and have a work ethic second to none. They have quite literally developed a program that "thinks outside the box". They work hard and make others want to as well. Their resourcefulness in this crazy time inspires and establishes a community in a time and place when community is in very short supply. Truly amazing people and gym. .....also they take recommendations for the playlist. I love the Bee Gee's and since mentioning it I have not had a single workout without at least one Bee Gee's song....so honestly who else would do this for me

Fantastic experience: No bs masks, no mandatory bookings, unlimited dog petting, and awesome owners? What's not to love?

Fantastic experience: The owners really care and are helpful. Sometimes, I have a tough time getting through the stations and the trainers will modify the exercises for me. A fun place to get a great workout!!!!

Fantastic experience: The absolute best place for an all over amazing work out that definitely makes you feel it! The motivation and support you get from Evan and Nicole and SweatCity tribe is incredible. Love love LOVE❤

Fantastic experience: Can't say enough good things about Evan and Nicole! They both have always pushed me beyond my comfort zone just enough to keep me growing but never too much. They are both very personable and will make an effort to get to know you as an individual. As a nurse and a shift worker it's almost impossible for me to be able to find a fun workout class that I can consistently participate in- but the beauty of Sweat City is that there are no class times so you can drop in whenever it works with your schedule. No more excuses! ;) Evan and Nicole are both very passionate about fitness and you can tell that they love what they do...their entrepreneurialism and the amount of work they've put into creating and executing their vision for this gym is a testament to how invested they are in seeing people realize their fitness goals while having so much fun at the same time. Calgary is lucky to have them! I would HIGHLY recommend joining this gym!!!!

Fantastic experience: This place is da bomb!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this place. Nic and Evan, the owners, are there every step of the way. They show you how to do it and of course, push you when you need it. I hated having to figure out what to do at the gym on my own time because it's not interesting to me. They make and keep it interesting. The work out Is different every single day and that keeps it fresh and you go home feeling accomplished, as opposed to having putz'd for an hour and achieved nothing. The first week, I died, but I felt so good after. Basically, if it gets easy, you're not working hard enough. And it's always fun! Also, Nic loves when you bring your pup!

Fantastic experience: All my pants are too big now!

Fantastic experience: I am so grateful to find this place! Central location. Good overall vibe. Amazing owners who give their heart and soul into this locally owned business. So glad to join this awesome gym community. Love the feedback given by trainers and the workouts are killer (can be easily less killer if you need them to be). I have tried a lot of gyms over the year and this one is the best. Thanks Evan and Nicole!

Fantastic experience: This place is amazing, especially because of the owners! When I first started, I hadn't been training properly for a long time and felt kind of weird stepping back into a gym - these guys made me feel so comfortable, and taught me a bunch of new stuff and never hesitated when I constantly asked them for a bonus round on pads ha ha (thanks guys). I cant wait to come back ❤ - Catherine

Fantastic experience: Brilliant engaging workouts that change daily! Evan and Nicole do an amazing job pushing you to surpass your goals and keep you smiling all the way! No class times, just tie up your shoes, wrap up your hands and start lifting, pushing, pulling, jumping, punching, kicking, squatting, lunging, swinging, and sweating! -Steel (Renegade)

Fantastic experience: Best little gym in the city. Nicole and Evan are kind and approachable and will help you tailor your fitness needs with a fun and ever changing workout. New to kickboxing? No problem! They will show you the way!

Fantastic experience: Owners Nicole and Evan are killing it with this gym. Super supportive with great routine. Excellent place to work out.

Fantastic experience: It's been 3 weeks of coming to Sweat City and I can guarantee you'll find nothing as supportive, informative and community driven as Sweat City! The owners (Nicole and Evan) are the trainers and there are not enough good words to say about them. As someone who needed to restart their fitness goals, who had little to no confidence walking into those gym doors, I can tell you there is no better place to start working out. If you're experienced, don't worry they've got you covered too. With the daily change of workouts everytime you come in it's a new challenge!

Fantastic experience: Have you ever had other members of a gym cheering you on from the sidelines? That's what you'll get at this gym! It is a such a supportive, empowering place. I have never been to another gym that offers this kind of high-intensity training coupled with a welcoming atmosphere! Try out Sweat City once and you'll never want to leave! An added bonus is the separate weight-lifting area for those times you don't do the circuit or to enhance your workout after the circuit is done!

Fantastic experience: What a gem!!! Got introduced to sweat city by a dear friend 3 months ago and have been hooked since then. I literally get disappointed when I cannot make it to the gym and it’s all because of Nicole and Evan They are the nicest and most caring trainers and treat you as family. The connection goes far and it keeps you moving forward What amazes me is how much thought and effort they will put in to create the whole body workouts that are different everyday! It makes you looking forward to the next day (love the mystery)! You also get to know the amazing and caring Sweat City family which is bonus One of my best decisions ever !!!

Fantastic experience: Sweat City is fun, challenging, a great workout, and has the added bonus of punching and kicking! The workout always changes, and never gets boring. The facility is big and bright, and Evan and Nicole always make me feel welcome. Lots of parking, excellent hours. Did I mention punching and kicking?

Fantastic experience: Emotionally and physically the most fulfilling exercise I have ever done, in great part due to Nicole and Evan and I highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Imagine your workout class that starts when you show up. Trainers assisted, every day a new workout. Interval training for 30min to 45min (9 or 11 stations) your choice. And when you’re done, full-body program and for me, 700+ calories burned. I needed a gym/class/workout approach that eliminated excuses. Sweat City checks all the boxes. For me, and likely many others with busy lives, who can’t commit to fixed times or invariably run the risk of being late, and then don’t show up at all. Ugh – then feel guilty about it after, which is not helpful either. But I needed variety to my workouts to avoid boredom, and trainer oversight to make sure I am doing the exercises properly to avoid injury. Lots of free parking just outside the core. Super convenient — 10Ave and 17th Street, immediately right off the C-train Sunalta station or 7min drive from the core during midday. PERSONAL TOUCH: I have known Nicole and Evan for several years. They are both trainers and owners. Evan and Nicole changed my life. Starting their own gym in Oct 2019 allowed them to help others, without the headaches of big franchise rules, and gives them the ability to respond to your individual needs... with tons of space.

Fantastic experience: This is what the perfect gym is all about. Can’t beat the location, just west side of the core, steps away from Sunalta train station and there are free 2 hours parking everywhere around the gym itself, or private parking right in the back of the building. The gym is very spacious, clean and very well run by the two most amazing trainers, Evan and Nicole.They are also owners with such dedication and positive energy which makes this gym so great. If you are a beginner, they will take time to teach you the correct forms and breathing techniques to get the most out of your workout. The BEST part is that everyday is a new and different workout routine that’s NEVER boring, always motivating, and you get to workout on your own schedule!!! How cool is that?!?! This isn’t just a gym, it’s also an amazing community where people get together and support each other to be your healthier self. Everyone is so nice and you just feel right at home. If you are debating on a gym to join this year, please come by and check this space out. It will be worth it!!!

Fantastic experience: I love working out at this gym! It has a great atmosphere and it is a fantastic workout every time! The owners, Evan and Nicole, are very welcoming, and they are great at adapting exercises to all skill levels. I would highly recommend this gym!

Fantastic experience: Been here for over 2 years and love it. Everyday is a new workout with good friends.

Fantastic experience: The setup is great, the equipment and workflow is well thought out for an all-in work out. But what makes this place stand out among its peers is the personal touch from Nicole and Evan, you leave every session feeling welcome, well treated, and of course, satisfactorily exhausted.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym, I've only been going for about a month now but it's a great workout and Nicole and Evan have been very welcoming. I can't say enough good things.

Fantastic experience: Love this gym! It is run by great, awesome trainers that take the time to get to know you. They care about the community and are a fabulous small business. Great local spot with parking, some toys to keep older kiddos occupied while you sweat. I really enjoy working out here!

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best workouts and most encouraging, supportive, caring, knowledgeable and kind owners/coaches around. They can meet you at any fitness level beginner or advanced and support you the whole way through! I would recommend this gym to anyone who wants to get active and learn something new in a success based environment.

Fantastic experience: Right off the bat I have to say that I am not one for fitness nor have I ever enjoyed or really gone to a gym. My recreational physical activities were limited to softball, golf and curling. The common denominator between all of those sports is beer drinking. My fiancé joined Sweat City before they were officially open. Right from the get go she raved about the gym. I was skeptical but three weeks ago she convinced me to come along for one session. My skepticism has been replaced with outright enthusiasm. Nicole and Evan have opened a non-judgemental, encouraging and fun place to work out. As I am a total noob at fitness they offer so much support and have a ton of patience. I love that there are no set class times and I can drop-in and start the circuit whenever I want. If I’m not up to doing a full 11 or 12 blocks there is area to work out by myself. Honestly I can say that signing up and joining the Sweat City community has been one of the best decisions that I have made in a long time.

Fantastic experience: Awesome place, awesome people, awesome workout. Keep up the good work!

Fantastic experience: Absolute gem of a gym! Nicole and Evan both have a wealth of experience that shows with the new workouts they have setup everyday. The 45 min workouts will have you feeling great! Highly recommend giving it a try!

Fantastic experience: Great gym, with great trainers and fun workouts.

Fantastic experience: This is my new happy place! The owners Evan and Nicole are welcoming and very motivating. The workouts are great for all skill levels, from beginner to advanced. I’ve been kickboxing for 20 years and I still find it challenging and helps me keep my skills up. The gym is very well equipped and has a great atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Sweat City is a great workout! Always changing and challenging. The owners, Nicole and Evan, are awesome trainers and the gym has a good vibe, community and family orientated. I highly recommend this gym for all fitness levels.

Fantastic experience: Best workout I’ve had in a VERY long time. Great equipment, awesome space, tons of energy. And the owners are amazing. New to kickboxing, or experienced - this will get you into shape fast, and keep you coming back for more! Thanks for the workout guys, I’m hooked! :)
