CrossFit^® Ashlar

Expérience fantastique: Glenn and Tarra were super accommodating for my first cross-fit experience. Went out of their way to ensure I could get to a class around my tour schedule. Excellent facility and friendly bunch of participants.

Expérience fantastique: Amazing!! Best part of my day :)

Expérience fantastique: I did my first class today and had a great experience! The group was super welcoming and Tarra was very knowledgeable. Great workout!

Expérience fantastique: An amazing place with a great community!

Expérience fantastique: Can't beat Crossfit Ashlar!! I'm one of the golden oldies!! We are the " Legends ".... Thank you for welcoming me into your Crossfit Family. I always feel welcome! I am a never in a position where I feel I can't do that!!! We are always given a "Plan B" .....with a smile and I am thrilled I am participating in my workout. We have an awesome group; come and join us and find out for yourself. Thank you Ashlar!!

Expérience fantastique: I had a wonderful experience with the Ashlar gym. It was a great way to try something new and learn better ways to push my body. The owners and coaches are welcoming and accommodating to all fitness levels. Thanks for making my intro to CrossFit so great!

Expérience fantastique: Feels like a very inclusive gym, where everyone is welcome and options are offered to accommodate ability, skill, safe movement, etc. They really want us to have fun, listen to our body's needs, and be safe. Lots of laughter and smiles all around. Love it:)

Expérience fantastique: Great workouts and an even better community! The coaches are knowledgeable and the atmosphere is so welcoming! Love it here!

Expérience fantastique: Ashlar is the best CrossFit gym in the city! As for myself, coming from a small town; I felt just like I had back at home with the comfort of a clean organized gym, spectacular CF coaches, and an amazing community of athletes to workout with! 10/10 would highly recommend this CrossFit gym, especially if you live in and around the stonebridge area.

Expérience fantastique: Great XFit gym. Excellent coaches (and friendly), great programming, large space, plenty of parking--everything you want to do XFit!

Expérience fantastique: Superior class instructions. Gym is always clean and fresh. Gym is very well equipped

Expérience fantastique: I have been to nearly 10 Crossfit venues around the globe and Crossfit Ashlar is actually the best. The quality of programming, instruction, equipment and community are top-notch! The owners are extremely engaged and welcoming to everyone. There's no nonsense and you are almost guaranteed a great workout with personal attention.

Expérience fantastique: We love CrossFit Ashlar. They are supportive, cheerful, celebratory and a lot of fun. I’m so much fitter than I used to be, and I’ve learned a lot from the superb coaches and community ❤️

Expérience fantastique: Best crew ever

Expérience fantastique: This gym rules. The coaches, the members, the atmosphere, the vibe, etc. I've been coming here for over 7 years and I can't imagine ever not being at Ashlar.

Expérience fantastique: Incredible facility and amazing community! I dropped in for a few days while in town and can't say enough good things about Ashlar. Everyone made me feel right at home. This place is exactly what you're looking for in a gym and has something for everyone. It will quickly become the best part of your day!

Expérience fantastique: With a supportive, hardworking workout community and very supportive and knowledgeable staff, CrossFit Ashlar provides an approachable and fun fitness experience!

Expérience fantastique: The absolute best part of my day. The coaches are all amazing they work with you to make sure you are performing the exercises safely and properly. I highly recommend Ashlar CrossFit Tarra and Glendon have an amazing team here that will help you achieve your fitness goals, whether that be competing in the CrossFit open or functional fitness for life, they do it all. They have multiple levels for every exercise, so be it your first day or you have been doing it for years you will find a challenge and break a sweat.

Expérience fantastique: CrossFit Ashlar is a wonderful gym that has added so much value to our lives as a family. This gym makes it possible for you to maintain an active lifestyle for the long term and be able to include your kids (kids classes and just setting a good example). The schedule has a lot of options and the community is so unbelievably supportive. Tarra and Glendon have really created something special.

Expérience fantastique: Great gym owned and operated by Tara and Glendon. All the coaches are so knowledgeable and able to find movements for whatever your level of mobility or fitness is. Super family friendly and very inclusive and welcoming to everyone!

Expérience fantastique: Having left a really tight knit crossfit community at my old gym I had high standards coming in as a new member. Tarra, Glendon and the staff have made me feel at home and it feels like I have found my new people. It was helpful to see many familiar faces and the existing members who have been at Ashlar for years all create a space that makes a new person feel at home. The location and access to the facility is amazing and there are so many added touches that you don't find in other facilities: extra shampoo in the changerooms in case you forgot; photo galleries from whole group events; celebrations of major events in the lives of members. What's not to love? I highly recommend this space if you are looking for more than just a workout. Don't get me wrong, they will put you through your paces and then some, but they seem to know each person and what they are capable of - even if that person wasn't aware until they were challenged a little. If you want great coaching in a well equipped and supportive space, Ashlar is top of your list.

Expérience fantastique: Always a great day at Ashlar. Great coaches, great community, great programming.

Expérience fantastique: Such an amazing experience at Crossfit Ashlar! Everyone is so friendly and inviting!

Expérience fantastique: Dropped-in as I was in town on business. The team was super nice and very accommodating. Had a great workout. I'll be back!

Expérience fantastique: We’ve been going to Ashlar off and on for a number of years and always appreciate the flexibility in workouts to work with your skill/abilities as well as the family oriented focus and encouragement from all the coaches!

Expérience fantastique: Tarra is an amazing coach and business owner, creating a very positive gym atmosphere. For almost 3 years now, I drive from across the city to attend her gym. Prior to this I’ve never maintained a gym membership for more than a year or sustained regular attendance as well as I have at Ashlar. It’s Tarra's energy and way of making everyone at every level feel welcomed and successful that makes this gym special. THANK YOU!!

Expérience fantastique: I’ve had the pleasure of being a small part of this amazing community for a while, and I can’t say enough good things about it. It’s welcoming, great teaching and learning community, mixed with a safe and well structured approach to improved health and fitness. The way they make you feel like you belong - both young and old, athletes to amateurs - is something that keep me coming back. Doesn’t matter where I’m at in my physical fitness journey- I’m welcomed and a part of something bigger than me. If you’re looking to learn, have fun, and get better at life - you need to try this place.

Expérience positive: I am going to be very honest writing this review. I think for a lot of people, this gym would be great. Unfortunately, my partner and I had a disappointing experience. One coach can really make or break your experience. We bought a three class pass for the week. They unfortunately do not have a free trial class.The first class we went to was super disappointing. The coach is supposed to be the main person who can make you feel welcomed, as well as the rest of the members in that class. The guy who coached was very standoffish (not going to name names). Not friendly. Barely talked to my partner and I. He knew this was our first class, as we told him we talked signed the waivers and talked to Tarra. When he asked my partner if he had any injuries, my partner said his wrist has been bothering him. This coach said “oh just warm it up”. My partner and I are not new to CrossFit, so this response we both knew was incorrect to say. His coaching was mediocre. No members talked to us or made us feel welcomed in that class. After the class, the coach didn’t even come up to ask how we liked it, or to get to know TWO new possible members. He just went to his desk and did some work on the computer. We even went and stretched near his desk, hoping he would acknowledge and ask how we liked it. Nope. Nothing. We got up to leave, and I wanted to give him another chance. I said “see you, have a good evening” and he just looked up and muttered “bye”. I was pretty disgusted leaving the gym that evening. I am an understanding person. Everyone has his or her bad days. However, when you own a business and want people to join your gym, to act like this is a huge turnoff. Yet, we gave it another shot. The coach the next day was great (Treana). She introduced herself to me and wanted to get to know me. Some of the members did say “good job”. I worked out next to a girl who was super friendly. So there was some hope! We were going to trial other gyms to see which one fit best for us anyway. Other gyms were friendlier and left a better taste in our mouths the first interaction we had. If we had a better first experience with Ashlar, we would have joined that gym. It was closest to where we lived. But we did not end up joining, for obvious reasons. This is a post to encourage better encounters with new members. Like I said, we didn’t write the gym off the first class. We gave it another shot. This gym just isnt for us, but it can be for other people.

Expérience fantastique: What can I say, this gym is awesome with a friendly family atmosphere . I have been a member for 3 years and am about to turn 70 and had never done weight training or gymnastics. It is great to workout in a welcoming atmosphere with athletes of a wide range of fitness and skill level and feel welcome. From the Foundations classes to the daily programming the coaches are knowledgeable, skilled, encouraging and friendly, addressing you by name, providing you with feedback. The workouts are continually changing and always challenging including mobility, flexibility to go with the strength training. I can now squat with my butt lower than my knees. Scaling options are provided so can participate in the workout. CrossFit is an important part of the plan for me to skip the nursing home. You need encouragement talk to Tarra.

Expérience fantastique: Ashlar coaches and members are absolute top-notch. Love the programming and generally positive vibes!!

Expérience fantastique: Ashlar is a great community to work out in! The coaches and fellow members are encouraging no matter your skill level!

Expérience fantastique: Coach’s are awesome! People are awesome. If you want to start CrossFit or just join a CrossFit gym. This is the one!

Expérience fantastique: Great space with awesome coaching - thanks for having me!!

Expérience fantastique: BEST COMMUNITY. Best people. Best part of my day.

Expérience fantastique: I was in Saskatoon for the summer and found this fantastic facility to workout at. Tara and her group of coaches are spectacular. I was so happy to find a place for my second home gym. Awesome place!

Expérience fantastique: I’m so glad I decided to join Ashlar in June 2021. The workout environment is very positive and welcoming to all levels of fitness, providing many options to ensure that everyone feels successful. Ashlar creates a space that facilitates making new friends and meeting people in the community, as well as learning and personal growth. Highly recommend!

Expérience fantastique: Great place to get strong and fit!! I think the things that really work for me are: - you’re in a class with a skilled and positive coach. They teach you technique each time you do a movement so you never feel like you don’t know what you’re doing. They make sure you’re doing it right. Lots of praise and reinforcement. - even if you arrive feeling completely exhausted and unmotivated, you end up warming up and then having a great workout despite yourself. - you really do meet folks and end up chatting with other gym members in a way you don’t at most other gyms. – they have family work-outs, which are super fun!

Expérience fantastique: Great gym with awesome people

Expérience fantastique: Great Gym!

Expérience fantastique: Très accueillant! je recommande pour les visiteurs.

Expérience fantastique: I am from out of town and dropped in for quick workout. I’m always concerned that a new gym experience will be unpleasant, but the owner, staff and gym members were awesome. Very friendly, knowledgeable and it felt like my home gym. I was welcomed with open arms. The box is very spacious, has great equipment, clean and bright. This will be my go to whenever I am in Saskatoon.

Expérience fantastique: Tarra is always welcoming and she always has a positive attitude. I’ve never been to a CrossFit gym before. At CrossFit Ashlar you feel welcome and at home right away and it’s such a great workout!!

Expérience fantastique: What a fantastic place to come workout! I had never been to a CrossFit gym before and went with 3 other friends. The instructor was friendly and knowledgeable, and gave you many exercises to try to push yourself. We did a cardio type movement day The music was a VIBE. Really helped to push you further. Granted the day was really hot out so I feel like some AC or better airflow would have helped a lot, but it was like 30 degrees out. The equipment was clean, well organized and in good shape. Same for the facilities and other amenities. This is definitely a place I would come back to for other workouts!

Expérience fantastique: Honestly, this is the best gym I’ve ever been to and I have tried MANY in my lifetime. I never in my life imagined that I could do CrossFit! I am a beginner and what I love most about it is that they have so many options for every movement. There is never pressure to do anything out of your comfort zone. All of the instructors are so friendly and bring really great energy to all of the classes. It has the best inclusive community feel, you feel welcomed the second you walk in. It’s a beautiful and clean facility and I actually have FUN while I’m there, there are always lots of laughs during the workouts. They offer many classes throughout the day from early morning to into the evening, it is very flexible and easy to work around any schedule. They have a cute kids room with a TV so you can bring your kids which is SO convenient for families. I love their family workout classes too and so do my kiddos, they really get them involved and it introduces them to fitness at their level! Ashlar also does SO much for the community and really give back. If you are looking for something new, even if you’re like me and never dreamed you would be interested in CrossFit, do yourself a favour and connect with Ashlar!

Expérience fantastique: Experienced Crossfit Gym with an amazing community of members, coaches, and owners. All skills are welcomed and challenged during the daily workouts. Any movement is scaled for the specific individuals goals/ability. All Covid protocols followed with copious amounts of space, cleaning supplies, and specific equipment to your work area. We definitely feel safe being here daily while working on our physical and mental training.

Expérience fantastique: Great supportive community and knowledgeable staff. Looking forward to my first four months

Expérience fantastique: The coaches are so great and work with you at whatever fitness level you are at and help to get you to your goals

Expérience fantastique: Tara and Glendon are Awesome! I'm pretty new to crossfit and ended up going to Ashlar based on the recommendation of my friend Troy. I actually had a few friends recommend CrossFit and I thought it might be a good alternative to hockey. My primary objective was to strengthen my hamstrings as they had suffered a couple of tears, and 9 months later, that has been accomplished. My overall flexibility and strength has improved as well. There are many exercises I am still limited with due to some mobility issues, but now I know what to focus on. Both Tara and Glendon are great for having patience and explaining things clearly to help you figure stuff out. I highly recommend Ashlar, and as long as they don't move the gym somewhere far away, I'll continue to be a patron for a long time. Thanks Tara and Glendon!

Expérience fantastique: Great gym, awesome coaches, fantastic people!

Expérience fantastique: Crossfit Ashlar is a fantastic gym!! Their atmosphere, workouts and community is amazing! The owners go above and beyond for their members and are very welcoming to everyone. AND their playlist is amazing!!!! I am highly motivated by good beats! My day is always better after my class.

Expérience fantastique: Great gym, great coaches, able to accommodate all skill levels and amazing community.

Expérience fantastique: Hands down the best part of my day, even when I'd rather be anywhere but working out. The coaches are all so knowledgeable and supportive, the community is unparalleled and the programming has options for anyone at any level. Over the past 5+ years, I have accomplished things I never thought my body was capable of.

Expérience fantastique: I am truly grateful for this gym everyday since I joined two years ago. This gym removed so many barriers for me on my way to feeling happier and healthier; the kids room and kids CrossFit were instrumental to getting me 'hooked' as well as not having to think about what my workout would be...just show up and do the WOD with coaching that is always helpful and encouraging. As I've progressed, the negative self-talk has slowly disappeared because of the coaches who are as excited about my progress as I am myself. There is no comparing to anyone else; everyone fits in and are given scaling options to suit all abilities. During Covid, this gym has made me feel safe. Another thing to be grateful for! Ashlar has gone above and beyond to implement protocols and make sure they are followed. Thank you CrossFit Ashlar!

Expérience fantastique: My husband and I are both nearly 50 and have both been doing CrossFit for over three years. We joined CrossFit Brio South which recently branched off to become CrossFit Ashlar. We were both intimidated by the idea of weightlifting and had the false impression that CrossFit was a sport that only the fittest of people did. But a friend invited us out to give it a try and we were pleasantly surprised when we realized the gym was full of everyday people, all ages and different levels of fitness. And the programming accommodates all. The coaching has been nothing short of impressive. Because classes are small, coaching is very personalized but without the expense of a one-on-one coach. And the coaches are very in tune with the members. For example, my husband recently had a medical procedure done and was advised to take it easy for the next few weeks and the owners, Tarra and Glendon, programmed modified workouts especially so my husband could continue working out while recovering. The gym itself is truly fantastic. It's very large and the equipment is in great condition. It's super clean and with Covid-19 regulations, there are large work stations with everything each individual needs for the workout and the floors are mopped and equipment is sterilized in between sessions. Our children, ages 9 and 11, have also participated in CrossFit Ashlar's CrossFit For Kids program and the Kids CrossFit Summer Camps. This is a great introduction to fitness for kids of all ages, starting from just 3 years old. Our boys really enjoyed the classes and look forward to the camps that occur during school breaks and summer holidays. They have incorporated fun ways of educating and it keeps our kids wanting to come back for more. Our family has also participated in CrossFit Ashlar's Family Workouts which are just so much fun. By incorporating games into them, we all get to play like kids while we all enjoy a great workout. We joined CrossFit because of the expertise of the high intensity interval training and expertise of the gym staff, ensuring everything we did was safe. But we've continued to come back for the community. Working out alongside others who are older, younger, more fit, less fit... has been really inspiring. Everyone gives their best, breaks a good sweat, and keeps us motivated to keep moving and finish each workout to the best of our own abilities....and we always leave refreshed and feeling like we got our money's worth. In this regard, we highly recommend CrossFit Ashlar to anyone who wants to improve their fitness and stick with a program that works.

Expérience fantastique: Great place to workout every time we are in Saskatoon, owners and members are very welcoming!

Expérience fantastique: Great group all around! Knowledgeable coaches, solid programming, and fun atmosphere. Would highly recommend!

Expérience fantastique: One of the best parts of my day. Tarra and her coaching team offer a knowedgable, safe and challenging atmosphere. The facility is clean and spacious with a super supportive community. If you’re considering trying out CrossFit, this is the gym for you.

Expérience fantastique: Best Gym in Town
