The Strength Edge

Expérience fantastique: Coming for few days from Paris to work in Calgary, Andrew gave me the chance to visit this nice gym and enjoy my trip. It was the first time I visited a strongman gym ! Nice bars, nice deadlift bar, nice equipments. There was a really good atmosphere there. Unfortunately it's impossible for a lot of reason to have such a gym in France. Even a classic gym ! Thanks a lot Andrew !

Some of the strongest Canadians train here, and they’re always willing to share their knowledge. Plus, the world-class coaching is perfect for anyone looking to compete or take their training to the next level. Andrew, the owner, is passionate about strength sports, and it really shows. The gym has a welcoming atmosphere, and the member referral process ensures everyone is of great character. If you’re serious about strength sports, The Strength Edge is the place to be in Calgary. Highly recommend!

Expérience fantastique: Super Awesome gym!!! Very accepting to everyone I have enjoyed my time at the strength edge very much

Expérience fantastique: It really is a hidden gem for gym goers who don't want to commit to a contract and also want the best gear possible. Here you'll find every type of bar, rack, dumbbell kettlebell stones, tires, whatever you need. The music is actually something other than your "default" gym music and the people are all motivated and follow proper gyme etiquette. (Though probably don't expect anyone to put those weights down softly [seriously they lift a lot]) There's pretty much nobody here if you go for an early workout and I've never had to wait for anything. (6:00am workouts). All this for a really good price! The Strength edge can also set you up with a competent personal trainer to meet your specific goals if you want to mix things up a bit. Special shoutout to Sandra Cappon my personal trainer. She has help me set up training schedules, correct my form and push past plateaus.

Expérience fantastique: This is THE place to go to in Calgary for strongman or powerlifting! Great friendly community and an excellent variety of equipment, tires, atlas stones, logs, you name it they got it. They also have an oly lifting platform with rubber weights.
