The Bow Valley Athletic Club: Opinions

P O 1 year ago

Negative experience: it was very unfortunate how they treated that young retired Calgary business that had autism that was featured in Business In Calgary. It was completely inappropriate . :(

Fantastic experience: Was in Calgary for some meetings and was able to get by the club. Terrific renovations and the squash was top notch!

Christopher Morris 1 year ago

Negative experience: The wait to order lunch, okay. The wait for lunch to actually be delivered, fine. Having a BLT with soup served 15 minutes after everyone else got their meals??? You are kidding me. The service might be friendly to a fault, this probably was avoided without the extensive chit chats with every table.

Fantastic experience: Really nice, updated modern club. The locker room facilities are great, they have everything you’d need to get ready to go to work which is a huge plus. They also offer laundry service so you don’t have to take your clothes back and fourth. Haven’t tried the food yet but I’m sure it’s great. I go during post-lunch rush in the mid afternoon so it’s not too busy. If you’re thinking about joining book a tour and see for yourself.

Fantastic experience: My experience at the Bow Valley Athletic Club was 10/10 and the club impressed me in many different ways. First off, it was easy to get to. Parking underground was plentiful, and I was in the club 2 minutes after parking. The concierge validated my parking which was a nice bonus. The club was way bigger than I thought, with multiple racquet courts, a restaurant, a lounge, studios for yoga and HIIT classes, and a fully equipped gym with strength equipment and cardio machines. The changing rooms were spacious and luxurious. The showers were pristine and provided all the amenities I needed, and they have a fantastic eucalyptus steam room and a dry sauna with beach chairs. The men's changing room even had a lounge and bar with complementary snacks and drinks! I wish I could go here every day, but I'll settle for going every time I'm in Calgary.

Sara Bacsalmasi Pettigrew 8 years ago

Positive experience: This used to be the best club in DT Calgary. The dining options, squash, and massage are great. The big negative is that the facilities for female members are shared with the Bow Valley Square Fitness Centre. The me have their own dedicated facilities. Feels wrong.

Sara, thank you for your review. We understand your frustration, and truly appreciate your feedback. Over the past three years the Bow Valley Club has felt the effects of the economic downturn. We loved having the women's club, however due to low female membership rates it was not feasible to continue a dedicated women's club. In the future, we would love to have a dedicated women's club once again. For the time being, as I am sure you are aware, our female members have been grandfathered into the Co-Ed Bow Valley Square Fitness Center.

Positive experience: This gym is never crowded and has everything that you need. The squash courts almost always have availability. Love the fact that they have a laundry and towel service, as it takes away excuses to not go. Staff are excellent and the other members are friendly. Prices are a tad bit high, but the lack of crowds make it worth it. Free parking for members and guests in the morning and the afternoon during the week and all day on the weekend.
