Reviews of The Strength Edge (Gym)

Azriel Knight

I went into The Strength Edge from a Reddit recommendation, but what stuck out was that everyone had a great attitude. In the past I had bad experiences at Goodlife and was unhappy with the gyms provided by The City of Calgary. I also wanted 24/7 access. The idea of a staffless gym is odd but you get used to it quick. When applying you will be shown around, no worries there. In addition to the membership, I started personal training there provided by Calgary Barbell. I am so glad I did. I had a professional show me proper form proper breathing and a routine that fits my goals. If you’re used to the shiny look of franchise gyms, this will be a big change as it was for me, but I’ll never go back.

Enjoyed my free one day trial but communication with Andrew was not great. The people who work out there are really cool but whoever is running the show may need to consider doing a better job. Would have loved to join but the owner doesn’t seem too accepting of people wanting to learn and get into the sport seriously.

This gym is amazing. Andrew is a great owner and super inviting to new people. It has everything you need even though it's a powerlifting/strongman gym. I've met some really great people there, it's my top gym to train at.

Amazing competition standard equipment and facility. A great community to be apart of for anyone who wants to get started in the gym or become an athlete.

Awesome gym with tons of fun strength equipment. More than I have seen anywhere else! We had a great session and will definitely visit again when we’re back in Calgary next!

Has to be one of the best strongman gyms in all of Alberta, probably Western Canada. Has all the strongman equipment you could dream of. Very close to what heaven must be like.

The best gym in Calgary

Amber Tremblay

Lots of women there, makes me feel included and safe, music selection is I think by guests so it varies. Lots of equipment, very nice place

Yeg Gym Review

This is the coolest gym I've ever been to, hands down. The graffitied walls, friendly members, and variety of strength equipment all contribute to making this place what it is. It's not a place for the average gym goer or someone that doesn't take their training seriously. But at the same time, the people here know how to have fun, joke around, and there's a genuine sense of community. Love it!

Chris Hylton

The best lifting community out there!

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.

good weightlifting gym

Tyler Harnett

Trained here on my way through Calgary. A true strength sports gym. Lots of powerlifting and strongman/strongwoman equipment. If you train for strength sports or for serious strength this is the place to be.

This place is awesome if your focus is getting strong and being around people with similar goals. The are no change rooms or saunas or other amenities. There is just equipment and strong friendly people.

best gym in the city.

Best strength training atmosphere I’ve seen in Calgary. Excellent power lifting and strongman / strongwoman training facility. Dedicated plates, bars and platform also there for Olympic style weightlifters. Personal training services available c/o Calgary Barbell are top notch. On-site massage therapy available as well. Basic amenities and no-frills change rooms serve their purpose.

One of the coolest gyms I've been to. Really great equipment in you are a powerlifter.

Zachary Farrell

Best gym in the city for strongman and powerlifting. World class coaching and athletes. Come here if you want to get stronger.
