MOST Physical Preparation

Expérience fantastique: Hassan was extremely attentive in my appointment and took his time to ensure I understood exactly how to help address my lower back issue. Will definitely be back!

Expérience fantastique: After multiple physio sessions around the city that really weren’t making a difference, I had the pleasure of doing an initial assessment with Hassan Hatoum at MOST. I must say, it was the most thorough yet simple-to-understand examination I’ve ever had in my 10+ years of physiotherapy. He really knows his stuff and explained how different muscles and joints work together - and how they affect my knee and the minor meniscus tear I have - in a way I was able to understand. Using visual examples, he taught me what exercises and movements help in strengthening my knee as well as my arch pain. Although it was my first time at MOST, the community and environment was very inviting & inclusive… the dog is a definite plus too! All in all a fantastic experience. Will definitely continue my physio journey with Hassan. I’m looking forward to getting back to hitting PR’s and not being afraid to push my knee while lifting. Thanks so much!

Expérience fantastique: Hassan was able to help me address my nagging shoulder pain and pinpoint the problem very clearly. I look forward to executing the training plan he has laid out for me as I have already seen improvements in mobility after our initial session.

Expérience fantastique: Great gym and Mark is a physio wizard

Expérience fantastique: Went in with some nagging pains and tightness, can already feel the difference. David gave me a tonne of insight into causes and a path forward. Jenn’s guidance on stretches and proper technique was awesome. Looking forward to going again and being able to train without restriction

Expérience fantastique: I have had the pleasure of working with Dr. Leif Edwardson previously and could not have been more impressed! He is extremely thorough, knowledgeable, and so good at what he does! I will always recommend Dr. Leif to anyone seeking chiropractic care!

Expérience fantastique: I have had horrible plantar faciaitis and foot issues in both feet for about 12 years a Lots of times over the years when I couldn't walk, I was using Advil liquid gels extra strength just to be able to walk sometimes I would have to take them for 3-4 months straight. I had a friend at my office recommend Dave and told me about his wonders. I have been going now for about 3 months and my feet feel different, the tendons feel relaxed and stretched out, my feet are not swollen. I do lots of strength exercises and they work very well. I had all the insoles, Special shoes etc, tried them nothing worked, even when I saw a pediatrist I wasn't getting the results and it was killing me in lots of ways but Dave is a Guru at what he does, I highly recommend him and Jenn, I never thought my feet would ever get better. Dave thank you so much for giving me back my life. I never really thought they would get better, you brought happiness and happy tears to me. I can never thank you enough. Much love! Mike Hadnagy

Expérience fantastique: Dr. Leif Edwardson, chiropractor, was able to treat and heal my injured heel (heel spur). Pain and discomfort disappeared thanks to only 6 shock waves sessions. He is a good listener, does his research to offer the best treatment and appropriate exercises to strengthen your weak spots. Direct billing to health insurances is available. Easy parking. Very clean location.

Expérience fantastique: Excellent experience at MOST! The team was very professional and insightful, providing personalized guidance on exercises and stretches to support my treatment. I'm grateful for their expertise and looking forward to my next visit. Highly recommend!

Expérience fantastique: At Most Physical my experience has been wonderful. Mark is very knowledgeable and helpful through my back recovery. I’ve also seen David for physical therapy and both are amazing. Highly recommended!

Expérience fantastique: Great chiropractic care! Dr. Leif is very knowledgeable and the longer treatment times are really helpful. He was all about getting me in the gym and moving better after my treatment - I really appreciated the rehab portion of his care plan!

Expérience fantastique: David Swagar is one of the best practitioners I have ever experienced. His knowledge of the body and its interconnections is vast and I love that he is always learning and exploring new information. I always receive great benefit from my treatments plus he is awesome to talk with. So open minded and kind. I can’t recommend him enough.

Expérience fantastique: First visit and had an amazing experience! Really listened to my issues and felt relief immediately!

Expérience fantastique: David was referred to me, and I was extremely impressed with the time and care that he took to assess and understand my injuries and where they stem from. I would highly recommend if you’re even contemplating of this is a fit for you!

Expérience fantastique: The best and most helpful massage I've ever had in my life. Max knows what he is doing

Expérience fantastique: So helpful and knowledgable! Took the time to assess before treatment and walk me through the appropriate exercises to support healing afterwards. They also emailed the instructions so I can remember them for later. 10/10.

Expérience fantastique: Probably the best rehab gym in Calgary. Osteopathic care, massage therapist, physiotherapist, strength coaches, athletic therapist, the whole team is amazing. Super knowledgeable, they can actually treat an injury to performance compared to most rehab physio, wellness or chiro clinic in the city. 100% recommend

Expérience fantastique: My shoulder thanks you! I have to admit, I did not have high expectations when I decided to take advantage of funds for physiotherapy. I had been living with a shoulder injury I suffered about 30 years earlier and never got proper treatment. So it’s always been much less flexible, much weaker and often much more painful. I could not even really do more than low weights on a lateral raise machine. Well fast forward 3 or 4 appointments with Mark and my shoulder is about 90 per cent better! He was excellent from the start. He really took his time to understand my injury and poke and prod until he had confirmed the issue. He explained very clearly what I needed to do to rebuild strength and flexibility and then he built a program that I did every other day for a couple of weeks. I then checked back in for a progress check and he added some new exercises to keep improving. We did that twice more over the next couple of months and I am thrilled with the results.I highly recommend this place.

Expérience fantastique: I have been having serious sciatic pain for quite a while now. No relief from Chiro or massage. David did a very in-depth assessment with me today and was able to find out what the root of the problem is. He recommended treatment with several exercises and stretches. I am amazed as nobody else has been able to fix problem until now. Thank you!

Expérience fantastique: David is very knowledgeable, highly recommend him

Expérience fantastique: I had an excellent first visit for an assessment of my injury. David was very professional in his evaluation, determining the cause of the injury, the level of damage and providing initial therapy. It was all done quickly and efficiently but in a relaxing atmosphere. David explained each point of the assessment and patiently described the next steps to recovery and expectations. Summer was the Therapist who next showed me how to properly do the home exercises. She does an excellent job and explains the key elements of each exercise in an effective and professional manner. Overall, I was very impressed with this facility. The level of care was much higher here than experienced elsewhere. I look forward to reporting on my experience as the treatment progresses.

Expérience fantastique: This guy and his staff are witch doctors I’ve never seen anything like it. Honestly I’ve been to Osteo I’ve been to massage I’ve been to chiropractor’s and it makes sense. They come out it with the full meal deal I would get things fixed at Osteo or wherever, and then two days later, I would break down with the same problem again at this place, they set you up to remedy the problems that caused the breakdowns two days later and they fix the other things that are eminent. Pretty incredible. Really very knowledgable and easy to deal with. Amazing people for sure.

Expérience fantastique: Great Explanation of what was needed and why. Treatment with follow up exercise and stretches program is the only legitimate way to help people heal. Most is First Rate !

Expérience fantastique: I have had a great experience with Brenden as a coach and a massage therapist. He treated me after an injury, and we worked through movements for me to continue as recovery as well. Not only does he have extensive knowledge of anatomy but as a weightlifting coach, he also understands movement. Brenden has fixed a lot of little issues with my weightlifting technique in a short amount of time and has greatly improved my lifts as well as my mindset. I would highly recommend Brenden as a coach to anyone wanting to get into or compete in Weightlifting!

Expérience fantastique: Had my initial assessment with Dave and was very happy with the experience. He listened to all my questions and concerns and gave great feedback. His staff was very friendly and helpful and they have a great facility!

Expérience fantastique: MOST is the only place to get your body to its very best. The entire team is professional, knowledgeable, caring and focused on providing the only the very best treatments and guidance. Highly recommend this practice.

Expérience fantastique: Nice atmosphere and wonderful staff, will return

Expérience fantastique: They get to the bottom of my issues and help me work through my injuries to recovery

Expérience fantastique: I am very happy that I made the decision to get my massage at MOST Physical Preparation. Dave Swagar is a great man and he runs the place very well. I had a great massage and I felt relaxed afterwards. The service was great and the people are too, Thank you!

Expérience fantastique: The Most Team always goes above and beyond. Professional atmosphere and knowledgeable staff.

Expérience fantastique: Dave and his team are top knotch for training & recovery. They have a system that works and delivers results. Cannot recommend them enough.

Expérience fantastique: The Most Team always goes above and beyond. Professional atmosphere and knowledgeable staff.

Expérience fantastique: Great treatment as always! Thank you.

Expérience positive: Kelsey is professional and addresses my concerns. I'll be seeing her again.

Expérience fantastique: Carly was prepared, thorough and knowledgeable. She worked through various tests with me to assess the issue, and then came up with a protocol that I could follow to get better. She laid out a concrete plan of action that I understood and could reasonably do! I’ve seen many physiotherapists in my day and was very impressed with her professionalism, knowledge and approach.

Expérience fantastique: Fantastic CrossFit classes

Expérience fantastique: Carly is amazing! The physio program she has developed for me is perfect.

Expérience fantastique: Most Physical Prep has become a mainstay of my day to day healthy living. From nutrition guidance, to general physical fitness, to specialized training, to rehabilitation the team at Most has you covered. I have been a member for 4 years and do not see any reason why I would leave. The integrated approached allows me to have a seamless transition from training to recovery to nutrition to rehab when bumps happen. If you want to be a healthier you, drop by Most and let them show you the way. Dave

Expérience fantastique: I've been seeing Carly at MOST for a knee injury that I had about a year ago that required surgery for a partial meniscus tear. After my injury I was unable to bend my knee even 90 degrees and I now have full range of motion back! Carly has been very attentative to my concerns and has slowly increased the difficulty level of my exercises over time to better ease me back into the activity level I was at pre-injury. And as an added bonus she's fun to talk to! I would highly recommend MOST to anyone looking for a physiotherapist; the people are great and the facility is nice and spacious for exercising.

Expérience fantastique: I had my first physiotherapy visit at MOST with Carly today and it was great! The facility is amazing and everyone there is so welcoming. It's nice having physio treatment in a facility where the gym is huge and your therapist has room to exercise with you if you need that extra support. Carly is an amazing personable physiotherapist who really cares about her clients and goes above and beyond to make them feel comfortable and motivated; I could not recommend her enough! :)

Expérience fantastique: I wish I had of come to see you sooner! all around excellent care - from the thorough history to the full body assessment and treatment. You have been the only one to help me through injuries and this appointment again solidifies why you are the best! thank you!

Expérience fantastique: I approach MOST's physiotherapist, Carly, with chronic pain complaints following a serious illness, and she has honestly changed my life in just a few short sessions. Carly took my complaints seriously and analyzed them holistically, trying to draw connections between what has occurred, what is an issue now, and what would I like to achieve through physio. I also appreciate that she considers the impacts of stress, trauma, etc on our bodies. She was completely non-judgemental and warm, and developed a program that felt super approachable (and in no way intimidating). My pain has significantly decreased in a short period of time and I am excited to even consider resuming sports and activities that I gave up on after years of repeated injury, pain, and frustration. Couldn't recommend this service enough, especially if pain is preventing you from enjoying your daily life and staying active in the ways that you would like.

Expérience fantastique: Nicholas Simpson worked with me with great care and detail! Great space. Jeff Kubik is a great AT as well. Nice work ya'll!

Expérience fantastique: Very thorough assessment. Feeling relief already from first appointment! The results speak for themselves. Thank you!

Expérience fantastique: I’ve been working with Dave at most for the better part of a decade. Their team is professional and has a multitude of sports and therapy backgrounds. You need to get stronger? They got you. Get out of pain? They got you. Fantastic team and atmosphere. They aren’t charlatans with super secret squirrel programming. Just honest practitioners with an eye for movement so you can move better, longer and without pain.

Expérience fantastique: Carly's amazing! I'm really happy with my first visit. First of all, she's a sweet and kind girl. She's very knowledgeable and professional. I have been trying to do physiotherapy with other clinics for many years, but I always stop going because they made me do the same exercises over and over again, and honestly, it got boring! This time around, Carly gave me a mini-lesson on anatomy which was very useful and fun. She taught me new exercises I had never been taught before for my ankle injury and flat feet. She even taught me what shoes I should be wear, something I had never been taught before. I'm excited to keep working on my ankle with Carly! definitely recommend her 100%

Expérience fantastique: Taking CrossFit to the next level and not just focusing on met con bench mark work outs.

Expérience fantastique: I have been at Most for around two years now. It’s hands down the best gym I have trained at. The coaching staff are very welcoming and extremely knowledgeable. Their approach to programming is sustainable and fun. Plus the community is second to none. If you’re looking for a place to train, definitely check out Most.

Expérience fantastique: I can't say enough good things about MOST. I have been training with Alex for 3 1/2 months and as a 55+ year old guy I am getting into the best shape I have been since I was in my 20's. I am also seeing Sydney for the Nutrition and she has gotten me on the right path. The clinical side has helped me a ton as well, from Osteopath work with David and Arissa and massages from Gina, they are getting me healthy again. Been a blessing to find MOST . Highly recommend them.

Expérience fantastique: I’ve been coached by Jenn Swagar for years and have been a member at MOST since she and David first opened it. Whatever your goals, whether training for performance, for a specific sport, or just to move better and be healthier, Jenn, David and the other staff members at MOST can help you achieve them. One of the things that makes MOST unique is the qualifications that they demand of all their staff, which is a combination of education and practical experience (they don’t just hire anyone who has completed a weekend course or certificate). Another factor that differentiates MOST is having both clinical and training services in one facility. David and the clinical staff treat injuries and dysfunctions to get you moving again, and Jenn and the training staff work closely with them to design a training program that is tailored for you. On top of all that they are just great people. I highly recommend giving it a try or at least going in for an initial meeting to discuss your goals.

Expérience fantastique: Got pointed in MOST's direction over 5 years ago and was instantly drawn to the friendly and professional atmosphere of the staff and other members. Can't say enough positive things about the coaching and programming. Working out at MOST has made me feel more confident and competent in many aspects...from technique, movement competency, stability and strength. The workouts are programmed with purpose and not just to "have a tough workout". You leave feeling accomplished and tired, but not beat up. Not only have I learned lots, but I have met some great friends who not only encourage each other through movements, but also push each other to become better. Every friend I've ever brought for a trial class/drop in has been unsure about the whole idea of crossfit/athletic development programming that MOST embraces but has left feeling like they learned some stuff, got more fit and had fun doing so. On the clinic side, I have had the pleasure of being treated by Dave for an ankle and knee injury and can confidently say his assessment and treatment abilities + experience in this field is top notch. Concetta's neuropathy treatments are also very effective (though it will definitely feel a bit odd at first). Kelsey's massages are rejuvenating and definitely aid in recovery!

Expérience fantastique: Most has the best coaching staff around. They are dedicated and constantly working to create a positive and friendly workout community. Joining Most has been the greatest thing I could do for my body and mind!

Expérience fantastique: MOST’s staff are all true professionals. Atmosphere is positive and supportive. Their unique approach has helped me generate sustained physical and mental progress over the long term.

Expérience fantastique: Love the community they have built, the staff and how personable they are, the atmosphere and how supportive and thoughtful the people who come to work out are. Just in general a way better experience than all the rest.

Expérience fantastique: I have been going to MOST for shoulder rehabilitation. After trying many places in Calgary, where i wasn't getting results, I found my home! The care and expertise for assessment and treatment is top notch. I highly recommend this facility, with very personable staff and experience..You won't be disappointed!

Expérience fantastique: Positive space to improve performance and overcome injuries. A great community of people that are an important part of my day.

Expérience fantastique: I was an out of shape 50+ year old finding all sort of reasons to not look after myself. With the help of Jenn, David and the other MOST professionals I am healthier and more active than I have been for 30 years. Exceptional atmosphere, coaching and clinical services that have given me the ability to do the things I want to do when I want to do them. It is almost 4 years now and would not even consider leaving. Highly recommend no matter what your age.

Expérience fantastique: I would give MOST 10 stars if I could! I've been a member at MOST since the day they opened and I cannot speak highly enough of Dave & Jenn Swagar and the incredible clinical and coaching staff they've surrounded themselves with. When you combine an extremely knowledgeable and well qualified staff with a competitive, yet fun environment it makes for an ideal place to learn, train, rehab and recover. There is top notch coaching & programming, a great mix of professional athletes and everyday 9to5ers to train with and the clinical team at MOST is absolutely phenomenal should you ever need them. I highly recommend MOST to anyone looking for training and/or clinical treatment services!

Expérience fantastique: Well I didnt really know what to do with physical fitness so someone suggested I go try Most (I tried Goodlife and that didn't work), so I did. Don't know how they made it fun but they did. I have never had this much interest in doing anything. I have lost 40 pounds and am as fit as I was at 25. It sort of reminds of Cheers, without beer. Everyone knows your name and you want to be there. If you want to learn how to move, at your pace with a group that makes you laugh. Give it a try.

Expérience fantastique: I had a goal of running a marathon. I trained by myself, and ended with an injury that forced me to withdraw from the race. My wife, who is an original member at Most, encouraged me to go see Dave and Jenn to get me back on track. After a couple sessions of osteopathic adjustments with Dave, and committing to regular fitness classes with Jenn, I achieved my goal, and completed a marathon. Most is not only a place to achieve your fitness and wellness goals, it is also a supportive community. A couple years ago my wife was diagnosed with cancer. The Most community came together in a huge way for my family. The members pooled resources, providing our family with enough meals to feed an army. The Coaches ensured that my wife and I continued with our nutrition and fitness as best we could. The love and support my wife and I received, and continue to receive is beyond measure. Thank you Most!

Expérience fantastique: I saw Adam for my neck injury and had great results very quickly. He took the time to show me all of the exercises/stretches to help prevent my injury from recurring. I can definitely tell that he cares about helping people get better as quickly as possible. I would highly recommend.

Expérience fantastique: We have been members of this gym for several years and we love it! The owners and staff are all extremely knowledgeable, and will help you scale a workout to your level of fitness - no matter what that is. The clinic area in the front is also great if you are working through any injuries. Can't say enough good things about these folks - so if you are on the fence about coming in - don't be. My husband and I are both over 50 - we feel right at home here, and you will too!

Expérience fantastique: The team of coaches at most are very knowledgeable. The members are great people as well. Showing up and pushing yourself is easy. If you want to be better, in strength, nutrician and overall health, this is a great place to go.

Expérience fantastique: Excellent coaching staff! Lovely gym and experience for all abilities. Love it!

Expérience fantastique: I have been going to MOST for shoulder rehabilitation. After trying many places in Calgary, where i wasn't getting results, I found my home! The care and expertise for assessment and treatment is top notch. I highly recommend this facility, with very personable staff and experience..You won't be disappointed!

Expérience fantastique: The team at MOST bring high performance knowledge and holisitic support (strength & conditioning, prehab, rehab, corrective exercise) with best-in-class knowledge. They are extremely highly regarded and known internationally. If you are dealing with complex injury or just want to set a foundation for pursuing a great life, this is your gym. And when I say gym, I also say community.

Expérience fantastique: would rate it higher if I could, helped me become stronger for football

Expérience négative: Went to check this place out after all the positive reviews. All signs that they are open, all doors locked. Very discouraging.

Expérience fantastique: Great results from great staff. The Swagger's generous contributions to amateur athletics is also to be commended!

Expérience fantastique: Great environment and Friendly staff :)

Expérience fantastique: Dedicated and experienced coaches and a fun supportive atmosphere

Expérience fantastique: Great atmosphere. Encouraging, enthusiastic, and fun. Coaches are educated and trained in technique and dont just push weight.

Expérience fantastique: I went to see Jenn and Dave at Most in 2014/15, when I had a back that kept failing me and I was in severe pain. I saw Jenn, who worked with me on rehabilitating my back with corrective exercise 3x a week for about 3 months. I went from being in extreme pain even while sitting down to feeling good and strong all the time. I'm now pain free since my last treatment, and am definitely stronger in my core. This was probably the best money I've ever spent. I'd still be going to Most if I was working in the area. Thanks guys! You rock!

Expérience fantastique: The staff at MOST are incredibly diligent, thoughtful and knowledgeable. Great for crossfit, but also excellent at helping get to the root of physical ailments and solving them with you. Real osteopaths and trainers with real life competitive sports experience, who will easily switch to help a weekend warrior like me. It always shows when the owners are involved.

Expérience fantastique: Great staff and a wonderful group of people to work out with.

Expérience fantastique: Jenn and David have an amazing facility and are both passionate about what they do! As the owner of Lean On Meals, it's always a pleasure to see fellow business owners who care about adding value to the lives of others! All of their members are happy and activiely part of the community and you can tell they make everybody feel welcome and at home! Even so much they mentioned everybody loves to leave their things in the front lol! :) I would highly recommend their facility to anybody looking for a crossfit gym or for manual therapy/corrective exercise! Their coaches are amazing and getting to know Jeff I have nothing but good things to say!! Highly recommend you visit! They are also very kind and supportive I forgot to mention that!

Expérience fantastique: Mr.Swaggar holds true his name, top notch osteopath and massage therapist. He's also really kind.

Expérience fantastique: I couldn't recommend this gym enough. They are extremely knowledgeable in their field and it shows. Great atmosphere and great gym enough said!

Expérience fantastique: Worked with Jenn and Dave who are the owners and they are both very willing to gain knowledge and experience to help people progress as athletes at any level.
