Andy Boudreau

Fantastic spot to train!! Work with a wonderfully helpful staff, using top quality equipment in a consistently encouraging and supportive environment :)

Jakob Klassen

Great down to earth gym with amazing people and a crew of coaches who really embrace community and go out of their way to feel everyone welcome. What I love most about this place is the simplicity, cammeradery and family feel.

Liz is a very approachable and knowledgeable coach! The gym is very well set up, clean, and lots of options to choose from in terms of schedule. I strongly recommend this place whether you live in the valley or are just visiting and wanting to have a great time while working out! The workouts are always different and stimulating.

I was never going to take up CrossFit until that first class with Liz(my favorite coach of all time). Nearly 3 years later..... I’ve never had more success reaching my goals than with Bow Valley CrossFit. To meet her is to love her, and get inspired to do your best everything.

An amazing gym with a great inclusive culture. Even if you are new or seasoned, the welcoming atmosphere and team focused training makes each session feel like hanging with Friends. Very sweaty and out-of-breath friends. Because you will be working out. HARD.

Dan Lennon

I went when I was visiting in Banff in Feb 2020. Everyone was so amazing and welcoming, 10/10 will do burpees here again!

I dropped in while on vacation in Banff. Great coach and people! I was given guidance on scaling as I live around 300 ft above sea level and was feeling the altitude difference. I will definitely drop in again next year. (Also, the place is spotless).

The best gym in bow valley! I lost about 8 kg within 4 months. Great atmosphere, always new and exciting work out program! Huge thank you to bow valley cross fit team :)

I did the free intro class and the couch to CrossFit program with Liz and she helped me feel so capable and not anxious about trying out something new and was able to jump right into regular classes. Liz is so attentive and understanding when it comes to injuries or chronic health problems and always checks in before I even realize I might need to adjust an activity. She had built a very special community at Bow Valley CrossFit.

BV Crossfit is such a welcoming gym! I did a drop in there and the coaches were so nice and supportive! The crew was really friendly and it definitely had a wonderful community feel. And it was honestly the cleanest gym i've ever been to!

Clare McCann

Owner - Liz has done a PHENOMENAL job of creating a thriving, positive and welcoming community within the community. If you are new to town and want to know where the “locals” hang out, Bow Valley Crossfit is gonna be your jam.

I had never been to CrossFit before and was really hesitant, but the moment I walk in the door and was greeted by the trainer Liz, I was put a ease. After my first time I was hooked. It's a great work out and an even better environment. I would recommend this gym to anyone looking for a change.

Leesa Manchen

Owner Liz is the best and most patient coach! Awesome gym!

Anna-Lisa Christilaw

My husband and I finally decided to give CrossFit a try. We chose this gym because of Liz and we haven't been disappointed. We're hooked! Liz's passion for and believe in what she is doing, her exceptional coaching skills and empowering attitude create an environment where everyone can feel good about themselves, comfortably stretch their limits and strive to achieve goals. Liz patiently and sequentially teaches new or unfamiliar exercises. She gets to know her clients very well and always provides appropriate accommodations depending on individual injuries etc. We are extremely proud members of Liz's Bow Valley CrossFit family and encourage anyone who is contemplating joining to give it a try. Besides getting a great workout, you will have a lot of fun! Thank you, Liz! You are amazing!

I will from time to time drop into Bow Valley Crossfit to get a sesh in with Liz and her coaches. CrossFit can be very intimidating but Liz’s welcoming and knowledgeable approach makes everyone feel at ease and will have you hooked in no time and booking your next session . Her coaching staff have the same approach. You also get to row with an amazing view of Cascade!

Teha Ciotti

Logan Bennett

Super rad and awesome! I love the gym here and love the people, super fun and welcoming. Didn't feel the Ra Ra Ra, CrossFit craziness from other gyms, everyone is accessible and knowledgeable!!

Jennifer Beecroft

Great inclusive atmosphere and awesome coaching!

Mystee Maisonet

I've been a member at Bow Valley Cross fit for just over two years. In my late 50's I am thrilled to see results in the gym under the guidance of Liz White and her amazing team of coaches! The atmosphere is welcoming and non intimidating and workouts are tailored to all ages and abilities.

Matt Ducati

Sweet spot

Adrian Christilaw

Excellent gym with competent and attentive trainers. A fun and supportive membership community.

dani mcintosh

Hands down best gym I've ever been a member of! I've always been intimidated by Crossfit, and I started going to Bow Valley Crossfit purely out of convenience of location. I fell in love immediately. Liz and her coaches are supportive, patient and encouraging. I've never once felt uncomfortable or out of my league. After being a member for the last two years it feels like a family. I would highly recommend it if you want to comfortably get out of your comfort zone, feel as fit as you've ever been, and be part of an amazing supportive community of people.

Liz and the couches have created a friendly, supportive, encouraging environment with top notch coaching! The members of this gym equally create that environment. GREAT crossfit gym!

Alex Monk

I've been doing CrossFit since 2013 and a CFL2 trainer since 2018. Every time I pass through Banff I make sure to try and drop in at Bow Valley CrossFit. Liz and her team pour so much knowledge, expertise, and care into their classes, and the group is always welcoming and friendly. Highly recommended for a great workout and a great environment.

Ryan Linskill

Great place to get sweaty!

Michelle Monk

I had been to CrossFit gyms in the past and never found the right fit, but Liz makes everyone feel at home. The workouts are amazing! It's only been a few weeks and I'm already seeing great results. I actually live in Canmore but drive to Banff just to go to this gym because it has become my favourite in the area. Looking forward to the next class!

Steph Wong

Liz's gym is amazing - it's clean, has a great atmosphere and the coaches are all super friendly and professional. All the equipment is brand new and plentiful and the programming is excellent. Liz really cares about her members and will even send you a quick note to check on you if she hasn't seen you in a while. Not a lot of gyms have that kind of personal touch, but she definitely goes the extra mile! Love this place!

Megan Beaton

Nice space with big windows and good equipment. Classes are small, the coaches all take the time to give you individual attention, and the programming is consistently interesting. Wish I could make this my home gym

Erin MacArthur

Amazing Gym, Amazing Staff!!

Claire Horton

I joined just over a year ago and have made such progress with back and knee injuries. The staff are so focused on improving every single member. Everyone has their own goals, and staff ensure your technique is correct, and provide a welcoming and challenging atmosphere. This is the best gym I have been apart of, even during lockdown Liz has given members goals, and realistic workouts for home. I can't wait to be able to be in the gym with the members and giving out high fives again.

Kristen Turner

I dropped into Bow Valley CF twice on my vacation in Jan - what a place! What great people! Liz is an outstanding coach who welcomes you with great energy and warmth. The community is so friendly! I was there for an evening and a morning class and both were just as fun. Great WODS! I will definitely be coming back the next time I’m in Banff. Thankyou, Liz!!

krista peters

Liz provides an amazing workout in half the time I usually spend at the gym with more results! This Crossfit gym is a safe, encouraging environment of all fitness levels and abilities , completely the opposite of my preconceived notions about Crossfit.

Claudia Vaillancourt

Bow Valley Crossfit helped me get out of my couch with their "Couch to Crossfit" Intro program; it taught me everything about Crossfit. Coach (and owner) Liz is gentle but firm, helping everyone for every level... never done crossfit? This is the place for you. She will walk you through each movement ensuring you go at your own fitness level. By far the best gym! Give it a try????

Derrick Liu

Dropped in for a class during my visit and was everything I hoped for! Steve was great and everyone was so friendly!
