Raise the Bar SP

Fantastic experience: Awesome coaches, super helpful! Wonderful classes! I will be going back for more!

Fantastic experience: I always look forward to my weekly personal training sessions with Kara. She has helped me stay on course with my strength and weight training goals. I love this place!

Fantastic experience: This is such a nice gym! The coaches clearly care about your experience! There is different styles of classes to try out to find the best fit for me and my goals!

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a reformer (or any Pilates) class that truly is meant for all ages and fitness levels, Raise the Bar is perfect. The coaches are patient and kind and very knowledgeable in their field.

Fantastic experience: If it wasn’t for Raise the Bar I would not have joined a gym. The newest offering, a class for those who want to stay/get fit in their later years - “Forever Fit” - has drawn me in to sign up for membership. Every class I have attended so far had a great mix of activities to strengthen all body parts. Add some stretching and balance in and you have the perfect class for people like me, who usually don’t like the gym (which is putting it mildly). I have committed to two classes a week, but can join yoga or Pilates or any other class Raise the Bar offers with my membership. Staff and clients are very friendly and welcoming, the change rooms are bright and well equipped, water and coffee are always available… What’s there not to like?

Fantastic experience: I love the way Cassie modify it gor me and I still had a great workout

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Raise The Bar SP! The customized training plans far exceeded my expectations and allowed me to see weekly progress to meet my personal goals! Thank you Patty!

Fantastic experience: Really enjoy the studio. The staff are so warm and welcoming and any anxieties I had pre workout were quickly put at ease. Just a really lovely space with lovely people. Would 100% recommend.

Fantastic experience: R&R is such an amazing class. I haven't been in class for a few weeks due to illness and my first class back really kicked my butt. I was so grateful to have R&R right after to release all my tight muscles and calm my mind. Brandi is an amazing instructor. She continually introduces creative ways to release our muscles and then uses tension to build strength. I felt completely revitalized when class was finished. Whether you're new to working out or a seasoned veteran, R&R is a much needed class to reset my body and my mind. I LOVE this class and highly recommend it.

Fantastic experience: Love Raise the Bar. Great personal trainers.Energetic classes. Positive vibes. Clean and efficient.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym and community here. I would recommend this to everyone. Really enjoy going.. so many class options.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this place. Very clean. An uplifting & postive gym. All the Trainors are amazing. I feel very taken care of here. I recommend this gym to everyone! Best Gym in the area!!

Fantastic experience: There’s no other gym I want to be at for my one hour class away from home and kids. Very knowledgable coaches. Fun community atmosphere. Been attending since they opened. Love you guys! Never boring always fun small class sizes. They can modify for all levels and abilities. ❤️

Fantastic experience: This is not like a normal Boutique Gym, This is the best gym. This gym has built a community where people know each other and show up for each other. You will sweat and you will work. But you will leave this studio smiling.

Fantastic experience: Raise the Bar is such an amazing gym ! I was a bit nervous before my first class , they made me feel so welcomed ! I have tried almost every class , and I honestly can't choose my favorite one . Between all the great trainers and wonderful clients, I think I found my place ! Very positive environment, I leave every class feeling happy, healthy and motivated !

Fantastic experience: I tried 4 classes this week. Pilates Mix, Hot Barre, RTB strong and warm move well yoga. Loved them all. Everyone is so welcoming and I felt very comfortable even though I'm not the fittest person.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been working out at RTB for a couple of years and am so grateful I found this gym and my people. It’s a friendly, fun, inclusive place to exercise with a variety of classes, terrific owners and coaches who help to ensure proper movement. Also, a supportive community who cheer each other on. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: In my opinion, RTB is one of the best gyms in the Edmonton area. It's locally owned and the owners really care about their clients and results. I've been to group classes which were awesome but also currently working with Joanna in private sessions to help with proper movement patterns, addressing low back pain. She is better than going to *most physio therapists. Highly recommend RTB for their Pilates classes, group fitness and personal training!

Fantastic experience: This place is a near daily “go to” for me. EVERY time I go I receive an excellent workout along with technical guidance on form to maximize moves and reduce injuries. ALL coaches are knowledgeable and will meet you where you are at in your fitness level. The BONUS of this gym is its emphasis on community. We get to know each other, everyone is “seen” and you matter. What a great combination! Nice job Kara and Jo as you encourage a culture for trainers and clients that is rewarding and growing!

Fantastic experience: Raise the Bar is not only an amazing fitness gym with great coaches and classes, but the community of people that attend the classes always make everyone feel included and welcome - no matter if you’re new or been there since the beginning. The variety of strength, cardio, conditioning and functional movement is second to none. Cannot say enough - come join us and see for yourself!

Fantastic experience: -classes for all levels and ages of adults -clean facility with showers -knowledgeable and educated trainers -wonderful community of members and staff

Fantastic experience: So thankful I found this gym! I gave it 5 stars but I would give it 100 stars if that was an option! Joanna, Kara, and the RTB Coaches and members have built an amazing community here. I love the variety of classes that are offered so that you can work on building strength or mix it up with core and cardio. Pilates and yoga are offered in the warm room upstairs and tonight I just tried my first warm barre class, and it was so much fun! Huge shoutout to my coaches this week: Patty, Cass, Brandi, and Hannah for their encouragement and leading these classes. Thanks to my workout friends as well. Had some really great classes thanks to all of you! See you again soon!

Fantastic experience: I have been coming back to RTB since early summer this year after being gone for a year in BC Have to say nothing has changed since I left other than location What I mean by that is RTB still has such an inspiring , welcoming vibe with some very amazing people who all help motivate each other !! It’s such an easy place to stay motivated because even when it’s a tough workout it’s still enjoyable

Fantastic experience: Wonderful facility!

Fantastic experience: If you’re looking for Pilates, Yoga and fitness classes in Sherwood Park- RTB is a wonderful place! Especially if you’re looking to be apart of a gym community within Sherwood Park. They have a variety of classes with AMAZING instructors! The Pilates is a personal favourite of mine and I’m beyond happy to have found such an incredible studio!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Raise the Bar Sherwood Park since Day 1. Prior to that, Kara and Joanna were also my coaches at another gym they worked at. These ladies have created a culture of inclusion, positiveness, fun, variety and friendships while ensuring our safety and fitness are first and foremost. I have made the best friends here for life, and am forever grateful for this community and Kara and Joanna.

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere, knowledgeable staff, clean and very safe

Fantastic experience: I have worked out at RTB for over a year and highly recommend this studio! The entire RTB team is very welcoming and supportive when I was new to the studio. They have a good assortment of times & classes to attend (in person or virtually)

Fantastic experience: Excellent place for a workout. Really friendly and supportive ppl. Very clean. I feel very COVID-19 safe here.

Fantastic experience: Full disclosure I am married to one of the owners. I do not regularly attend classes so my opinion is from a different perspective. With that said, what I can assure any who read these reviews is Joanna and Kara put their heart and soul into everything you see and touch at Raise the Bar, every class program, and every clients progress. They have developed a strong community and consider each client a friend who’s personal success is directly tied to both the strength of community and programming. Combined with a unique, classy space this is truly a home for members. They will even give you a card on your birthday! If you feel this is for you they will gladly welcome another member to the RTB family. Be warned, while they have soft robes and a coffee bar, this is not a spa. They will still make you sweat and possibly curse them under your breath!

Fantastic experience: I had my first class at Raise the Bar today. After stepping away from any gym for awhile due to injuries, I was nervous to go back. Instantly, I was welcomed and it felt like home. The facility is very clean, bright, organized. So much charm. I can work out, shower, make it to work on time WITH a coffee . The workout was well structured and Kara explained everything. This is a definite gem!

Highly recommend Raise the Bar SP, not only are they a well rounded facility, their staff are amazing at what they do and are genuinely great, inspiring people!

Fantastic experience: Love Raise the Bar Sherwood Park! The studio owners and trainers are incredibly welcoming, skilled and caring. I appreciate the kind corrections on form, the ability to adapt exercises if something doesn’t feel right and reminders to listen to your body. I really appreciate not being pushed or yelled at during the classes (yes, I’ve actually been to lots of other gyms that have done this!). I feel like the owners/trainers genuinely care about my health journey. The equipment is clean and the amenities are readily available, even robes and coffee. I have been to many studios/gyms and have found this the best I’ve attended! The vibe in the studio is so friendly and fun, I just love it!
