Chop Shop Physiques - Spruce Grove: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Great variety of equipment; the pendulum squat is a very cool addition. No startup fees, members are friendly.
Positive experience: The gym is overall decent, and there aren’t a ton of options in the spruce area for a 24h hour gym. but the cleanliness is lacking. There never seems to be clean cloths to be used over the weekends. And the floors don’t seem to ever get cleaned. Would be nice if they could invest in some better benches. The current ones lack the support needed for a solid lift.
Negative experience: I would only walk into this gym in early mornings. Evenings are an absolute gong show. Kids sparring in the middle of the floor, throwing barbells with >45s on the floor instead of just re-racking at incline bench (if you can't rack it safely, maybe lighten the weight? such a hazard for anyone nearby), screaming, leaving claiming equipment for over 20 minutes while talking with their buddies, pointing & laughing at other members, etc etc. I get the space is only so big & can't fit as much equipment as members would like, so just be aware that you won't be able to access equipment in a timely manner, and have a lot of patience with the young ones messing around. I brought this up in my membership cancellation request so hopefully it gets dealt with (& they were nice enough to get us out of the 7 day cancellation policy even though they didn't acknowledge my concerns - thanks anyways!), but in the meantime just be warned that the gym in the evenings is treated as a playground!
Thanks for your review Sabrina, we appreciate your feedback
Positive experience: Recently started going to chop shop and I’m gonna have to stay. Great equipment and staff. Sydney is very helpful, encouraging, and sets a welcoming atmosphere in the gym, which is what I was looking for as I recently switched gyms. Out of all the staff she has stood out to me as she goes above and beyond to help me and others out, starts conversation when I’m at the door, and has let me know about discounts and other services the gym offers. Unfortunately the gym is a bit crowded due to all the machines and even more so on the upper level as the roof is right in your face, but at least they are full of equipment and not the opposite. More space not overcrowded by machines to do some ab workouts would be appreciated. :)
Fantastic experience: Awesome local gym.
Fantastic experience: Great place, love the equipment, kinda small but it meets all my needs, would definitely recommend to anyone looking to start working out
Positive experience: Decent gym. Very good for bodybuilding, not so great for other kinds of strength applications. Have to expect that though, the gym has Physiques in the name. Lots of the equipment is very nice, particularly the Nautilus hamstring curl/quad extension. That's my favourite machine here. Downsides would be the cables and deadlifting. The cables are really chuggy and it's hard to do rehab work with them, since lower weight selections chug worse. This applies to both cable setups they have. When I want to use cables, I just go to the tri leisure centre since their cables are buttery smooth even down to the lowest weight selection. As for deadlifting, they have a platform attached to their smith. Would rather they be separate. Also, all the plates near the platform don't fit snug to the barbells so they're very very very clanky. Even if you control the weight as slowly as possible, the plates are so clanky that it's going to sound like you threw the barbell down. You could also deadlift in the squat racks where they actually have competition bumpers. But then you're taking up a squat rack. I never deadlift here, I always do it at home. But like previously mentioned, if you're mainly after typical bodybuilding machines then it's a fantastic gym.
Fantastic experience: I was visiting from out of town and was looking for a gym to workout in, found chop shop online and was able to do a drop in at 4:30am, easy sign up and access. Very high quality equipment and well kept up anytime I am in or close to spruce grove I am definitely stopping by.
Fantastic experience: After years of going to different gyms, this one finds the best balance. It is a clean, well kept community gym with respectful members. Their equipment is better than most gyms and is maintained bythe staff. Also, this gym can get busy but never to the point where it is aggravating. I have been going to the Spruce Grove location for just over a year and don't have any complaints.
Positive experience: Overall it’s a nice gym, with a great atmosphere. Downsides are, it’s overly crowded with equipment placement/ too many unused machines. Not enough space for stretching and or warm up area, and the locker rooms could benefit with actual lockers and not just a storage cupboard. Could use a suggestion box at the main door, I’m sure plenty of people would leave comments on how to improve !
Hey Payton! Thanks so much for the review :) We have been thinking about the lockers for a while now, once we get the floors redone at the end of November in the change rooms, we will be looking at getting some new lockers installed along the back wall! As for the suggestion box, I'll make sure it gets put back out! We did have one for a few months and just haven't put it back out since taking it in to record everything last time :) For space concerns, I would love to get yours and other members feedback on what's not being used or should be removed to free up space! I'll put something on the chalk board and a few stories on social media to get people's feedback. Thank you again for the review!
Fantastic experience: **Review is solely related to the Spruce Grove facility** Pro's - clean space - good equipment - 10/10 amazing, friendly staff(benefits of being a small family run business) - quiet during off peak hours - often install new equipment - fair membership pricing - as a local, it feels good to support small businesses in the area! Con's - small space = very crowded during peak hours. I definitely wouldn't gym here if my only availability was during peak hours - only one shower in the Mens/womens changerooms. If you gym in the AM, you might need to wait in a queue to shower. - upper floor has ~8' ceilings = not tall person friendly. Limited vertical space for stretching & exercises. The con's are solely related to the facility. Would be a 10/10 gym if they had a bigger location! Very well organized & well mapped gym in terms of equipment. Chop Shop is owned & operated by a young kid, it's quite the impressive spot!
Thank you for the thoughtful review! We very much appreciate it :)
Positive experience: Smells like sweat
Hey Kathryn, sorry you had a bad experience! Was there a particular area you noticed smelled like sweat? We would love your help to improve the experience :)
Fantastic experience: Great Gym and staff!
Fantastic experience: Awesome place for workout! Great equipment, excellent staff and community!
Fantastic experience: Nice gym. Really like the 24 hour access!
Fantastic experience: Overall one of the best locally owned gyms I’ve been to!! Such a clean facility and they have all all the equipment you’d need for a good workout!!
Hello Morgan, thank you so much for your kind words! What a lovely compliment - we do our very best to bring you the nicest, friendliest, local atmosphere. <3 Glad to hear you appreciate our cleanliness and our diverse selection of machines - please come by absolutely any time you want. Take care! Cheers from Chop Shop Physiques. :)
Fantastic experience: Been working out at Chop since the original location. Was so happy for they decide to open up a second one. Absolutely love both Chop locations. I have recommended to so many people and continue to any chance I can.
Fantastic experience: A very clean and organized gym! The staff are so wonderful to talk to and it is always a welcoming space!
Positive experience: Great gym, the only thing that is recommended is to have a sensory friendly environment. Myself and a few other people have a hard time with the cleaner and detergent used to clean equipment and rags. Making it a scent controlled and aware environment would definitely help. Using healthier and less harsh chemicals would definitely be great!
Thanks for the review Kylie! We recently switched and are just using up the rest of the old stuff so you should notice a change in the cleaner very soon! The new one is none scented and more of a natural cleaning product :)
Positive experience: Decent gym equipment but the upstairs portion of difficult as the ceilings are so short
Fantastic experience: This gym is great! Usually pretty quiet, very clean, good atmosphere. I just wish they'd invest in a powerlifting flat bench
Fantastic experience: Great local place with a really strong community feel.. something just don’t get with larger chain gyms. Both locations are clean and staff is super friendly. Spruce grove location- lots of new equipment and multiples too. It more than meets needs!
Hi Janai! It's great to hear from you. Cleanliness and hospitality are things we take pride in; thanks for noticing! :-D We're glad you're getting more than your needs met here, that's the goal. Keep crushing your goals!
Positive experience: 2024 May - I have been going to this gym for over a year. The environment is good, it is clean and the staff are nice. Although it seems like it is going a bit downhill over the last few mths. Back in Dec-Jan the owner brought some newer equipment but items on it were not complete till may. I had sent a email and spoke to staff about having weight stickers placed on the new equipment which took 5 mths but then seeing what was placed on them was really no help to determine what each plate weighed (attached pictures). For over a week it was so hot I could barely workout. I had to email in to ask while I was in the building and the staff onsite was nice enough to put the air on. It was completely off. Equipment over the last few mths stayed broken or unusable for weeks. 2023 Recently join a few mth ago and really enjoy the atmosphere. The staff are so friendly ☺️ always there to help out and have gave me some pretty solid advice which is definitely appreciated. Other patrons are super respectful of others and as friendly. clean facility has exactly what I need.
Hey Maegan! :) We're so happy to have you here, enjoying the atmosphere. We try our best to create a welcoming, encouraging, clean environment, but it's not possible without also having great members. The members/patrons really do complete the gym. We hope you continue to find what you need here with us! :-D
Fantastic experience: Local gym with all the equipment of a huge chain. Bonus points for how clean it is!!
Hi Michelle! Thanks for your review, and for granting us BONUS POINTS! :-D Cleanliness is a huge priority here - everybody deserves to get a great workout in in a healthy, clean environment. We're also always bringing in new equipment and machines, so keep your eyes out for new stuff in the future.
Positive experience: Great equipment and environment. Super friendly staff and patrons!
Hey, thank you Ashtyn! We really appreciate your feedback. :)
Fantastic experience: Chop Shop is a great gym with many different machines and a great atmosphere! Everyone is very nice & the staff are so welcoming everytime I go. Definitely recommend if you are looking to join a gym!
Hello Sydney! Thank you for leaving us a review. We're glad you feel at home here, a welcoming atmosphere is what we strive for. <3
Fantastic experience: Super clean, friendly staff, good environment. Overall great place for the price would recommend
Hello Caelem! Thank you for your review. Happy to hear you're enjoying us and would recommend. Do let us know if there is anything we could do to make your experience even better - we're always taking member suggestions. And... have a great day!
Fantastic experience: Chop Shop has been fantastic for my girlfriend and I! From the equipment, the cleanliness, and the staff are top notch! Have nothing but good things to say about this gym.
Hello Isaac! Wonderful to hear you and your girlfriend are thriving here - it's a lot of fun working out with somebody you love. We're happy to be able to offer you both a friendly, clean, and quality gym! Have fun working out. :)
Fantastic experience: Love this gym, I go to both locations, and they are great. Staff is friendly and if you email them, they are very quick with responses. The clientele is respectful, and I have never felt uncomfortable going to the gym. Great to support a locally owned business.
Hello Tracy - thank you for reviewing us, and for supporting us as a local business! We're really proud of having such respectful clientele. Feeling uncomfortable at the gym is a HUGE barrier to fitness for many, and our members totally get it. We're proud to provide a welcoming space for everybody. Have a great day, and enjoy your workouts!
Positive experience: Great equipment, could use a few new leg machines such as an abduction and adduction machine, or a new lateral raise machine
Hi there Ty! Thank you for your review. We try our best! :-D
Fantastic experience: Well maintained, clean, nice staff, everything required to weight/endurance train, good pricing and excellent hours.
Howdy Dillon! Thank you so much for your review. Glad you enjoy it here! <3
Fantastic experience: I've been coming here for 5 months now, and I really appreciate Chop Shop. There's a good mix of people and I'd give it more than 5 stars if I could.
Hello Andrew - wow, thank you very much for your kind words! :-D It's awesome to hear you feel comfortable and at home among our member community. A gym is only as great as its members... and we are one lucky gym to host such a great mix of people! Cheers from Chop Shop - come by any time you please! It's great to have you here.
Fantastic experience: Hands down the best gym I’ve ever been to.
Hey there Devon! Thank you for your kind words - we will keep doing our best to meet (or exceed!) your expectations. We're actually always looking for member suggestions, so if you ever have any ideas you'd like to share, let us know! Cheers from Chop Shop. :-D
Fantastic experience: Such a clean space! I appreciate that this gym is 24/7 and has the ability to give you a discounted rate if you share an address, now my twin and I can share a membership. The staff is very kind and so is everyone that attends the gym. This is the first gym I have gone to that has allowed me to not feel uncomfortable and that I shouldn't be there. Bonus to is that it is just 5 min from my house.
Hello Kelsey, thank you so much for your review! It's an honor to hear that we've given you your first good impression out of other gyms. <3 Though we'd love to take full credit for making you feel welcome... it wouldn't be possible without the rest of our great members! The culture here is something to be proud of. Everybody is friendly, respectful, helpful, and welcoming. As a business, the member community here is a dream come true! :D Hope you enjoy your workouts for years to come! You are truly welcome here any time at all. :) Cheers from Chop Shop!
Fantastic experience: Me and my family have been going to this gym for years since it opened ( well me I’ve been on and off but besides that lol) it is a great gym, the owner is a very nice person and is active with the gym, and the staff are always there when they are intended to be and are always willing to help out and listen to suggestions to improve the gym. I would recommend going to the gym if you are a respectful and responsible user and if you aren’t those two things I suggest going somewhere else as the staff and owner don’t tolerate non respectful behaviour and also the gym users don’t respect the non responsible users. So any ways this is a great gym and I definitely recommend it!!!
Hello Damyn! We totally agree - respectful and responsible gym-goers create the community and atmosphere we love to host. Thank you so much for your review and recommendation! It's a pleasure to hear from you, especially as you (and your family members) are long-term Chop Shop members. Have a wonderful day! Cheers! :)
Fantastic experience: Great gym. Friendly owner. First time coming, will be back! Holly is fantastic
Hi there Rose! Thank you so much for your review. Happy to hear we made a great first impression - we're excited to welcome you back absolutely any time!
Fantastic experience: I've been very pleased with this gym so far. It is a locally owned gym that have owners who truly care about their clients. The staff are extremely kind and helpful. The gym is always clean. They have a variety of equipment to use. They have two locations. I would recommend this gym to anyone who is looking for a gym in the Stony Plain, Spruce Grove and surrounding area. It's by far the best gym in the area.
Hello Mickayla! Thank you for leaving us such kind words. We do our best! Always trying to make sure our facilities are fresh, open, and inviting. :) Glad you enjoy coming here! Have a great day, Cheers from Chop Shop!
Fantastic experience: The environment is great. A lot of friendly members, and the staff is very friendly and helpful too (my wife especially lol). The gym is always clean. Most of the equipment is great, and there is a good variety of it too. In my opinion I would say the gym could use a couple more leg machines (for example; hip adductor/abductor machine, and a lying hamstring curl). It did just recently get a separate leg extension machine which is beneficial. I would also say it could use another adjustable bench, but for the most part it’s got everything you need.
Hello Gabe! First off, thank you for your review. It's great to hear from you! Secondly, those are some great suggestions - I'll be passing them along to Lucas; we're actually looking for member suggestions. That way we can add more value to the gym, specific to member requests. Cheers!
Fantastic experience: Good Location! Lots of availability for equipment lots of room. Great vibes!
Hello Alicia! Thank you so much for leaving us a review - it's great to hear that you enjoy our vibes as well. Our gym is only as great as our members! <3
Fantastic experience: Very positive gym culture everyone is respectable and staff are very friendly.
Hi Preston, thanks for leaving us a review! It's great to hear you enjoy our culture - we strive for positivity and respect. The best place to work out is one where you feel welcome! See you around. :)
Fantastic experience: Locally owned gym with owners who truly care about their clients having a solid gym to workout at. Always extremely clean and everything in order. Good equipment as well. It does get crowded during peak hours but just goes to show that it is popular for locals. Always enjoy coming in to get a good workout in!
Hey Jade! Thanks for your review. It means a lot to us especially as a small/local business. Cleanliness is something we take pride in, thanks for noticing! And, good to hear you enjoy our selection of equipment We got some new machines in our Spruce location recently, too. Come check them out if you haven't already, and take care! <3
Fantastic experience: Very clean, equipment is in good condition, overall very nice atmosphere!
Hello Kurt! Thank you for your review - it's always wonderful to hear good things about our cleanliness and quality. Glad to hear you enjoy our atmosphere too! We do our best, and our members do the rest! <3
Negative experience: The reason as to why I’m giving this one star is because the staff are VERY Racist to Native Americans. I have a strong reason to believe this because I am a Native American person and they wrongfully accused me of something that I didn’t do and permanently banned me from their gym. The reasons as to why I was banned is because I apparently flushed someone’s shirt down the toilet, even though not once did I enter the bathroom at all during my session and I made it VERY clear that if they checked the cameras during that time it clearly couldn’t of been me, and oh yeah I was dancing in the gym, and not even an inappropriate dance just a light shuffle. Please be careful if you do decide to ignore my warnings and if your a Native American person STAY AWAY!!!
Hi Ethan, as discussed with your Aunt, I'm more than willing to discuss the incident with you personally. Our cameras do not point to the change rooms, but we are willing to discuss. We had several reports from other members of you dropping weights, laughing at them while using the gym and generally invading their personal space. After our staff tried to discuss this with you, but still allow you to use the facility if your behavior improved, the incident with the toilet occurred. We have many members of Native American descent and this incident had nothing to do with what you are insinuating. Again, feel free to call me any time you decide your ready to discuss this in a calm manner. Yelling at the staff will not be tolerated.
Fantastic experience: Love the Spruce Grove location! I've been training at the Stony location which has been awesome but I love this new location even more! Everything is brand new and the location is so convenient for me!
Thank you for your review, Phil. The Spruce Grove location loves you too! Have a fantastic day. :-D
Positive experience: A good place to workout. New equipments. It’s good to have such type of gym in the area.
Hello Yesha! Thank you for your review, we really appreciate it! Have a wonderful day. :)
Fantastic experience: Great spot in spruce, 24 hr access is awesome and the equipment variety and quality is a serious ++. Looking forward to being there awhile especially being a stones throw away..
Hello James! Little late to reply, but thank you so very much for your review. We are pretty proud of our equipment quality and selection - there is some new equipment in our Spruce location and we've done some recent rearranging to optimize the space. Feel free to come by anytime for another great workout!
Fantastic experience: Brand new equipment, great gym lighting, and a massive variety of equipment you don't see at other Parkland area gyms
Hello Scarlet! Thank you so much for your review. We do our best to stand out among other gyms in the area, so this is great to hear! Always open - come by for another great workout. You're always welcome here. :)
Fantastic experience: Amazing gym with a tremendous selection of the high quality equipment! The owners and staff have created a culture and environment that is extremely welcoming! Highly recommend

Hello Ryan! So good to hear. Thank you for your review!
Fantastic experience: Overall pleased with the new gym. Nice layout, good variety of equipment, awesome management and rates. Openness for feedback is nice to see, excited for the additional equipment they add.
Hey there Irene! Little late, but thank you so much for your review. It's great to hear that you enjoy our equipment, layout, and the way we run things here. We recently added some great new equipment in our Spruce location and reorganized the gym to optimize space. See you soon! Cheers. :)
Fantastic experience: Great equipment, great management, great music.
Hey there Rory! Very happy to hear that on top of everything else, you enjoy our music. We do love our tunes. :)
Fantastic experience: Great new addition to our neighbourhood, friendly staff & owners, good variety of equipment, can get busy at peak times but that’s the same no matter where you go!
Hey Jenna! Thank you for your review - it means a lot to us. <3 Come by anytime!
Positive experience: Pros -Offers discount when you sign up for multiple months -Cast Iron Plates -Machines that emphasize upper body strength -Multiple Barbell racks -Hack Squat Machine -Clean Cons -Small space, can get crowded easy -some equipment can feel redundant whereas the room could be used for different equipment working other muscle groups -my biggest issue, not tall person friendly. You will hit the the support bar on the power rack with an overhead press. Some equipment bottoms out at rep with full extension. -some of the equipment feels cheap, bad incline benches
Hey there Stephen! Thank you for your review, it's great to get more in-depth feedback and this is some terrific constructive criticism. Also super helpful for curious folk browsing google reviews, so thank you! I am sorry to hear you were limited by some of our machines because of your height - we're big on accessibility, so this is important feedback for us. We've rearranged the gym recently to open up the space a bit more and added some new machines - try them out next time you're here! Hope you have a great day! Cheers from Chop Shop! <3
