Reviews of ProActive Fitness (Gym)

Shelley and the gang of wonderful instructors at Proactive Fitness are awesome. Thank you for opportunity to be part of Stronger YXE. It was awesome, as are all of you!!!!!

I signed up for the 6 week challenge at Proactive Fitness and I enjoyed it very much. This place is a great fit for me. I wish I found this place a long time ago. I work out 3 x a week and the workout is different every time, I never get bored doing same workout. The classes are groups of up to 6 people and most of the classes are 30 minutes long. Shelley and her fitness trainers are awesome! High Five! You made the workout fun and challenging every time. I’ve noticed the difference after 3-4 weeks of working out. Recently, I bought a membership. I highly recommend this gym.

Carolyn Muir

Fantastic instructors who make our workouts fun and challenging. I have learned alot in the 3 years of sessions.

Shelley and her team are true gems in Saskatoon! I have extreme confidence in their ability to provide safe and functional exercise to those wanting to age well. Their specialized training makes them the go-to place in Saskatoon for exercise classes and personal training for those over 45. People in the ProActive community cannot say enough about the level of expertise in the trainers and overall inclusivity of the classes.

Janea Dieno

I have worked with Shelley from ProActive Fitness and I find her very approachable and accommodating. She definitely makes you feel at ease! I would highly recommend the services of her and her team. They also have a great weekly newsletter to keep you healthy!

Donna Dube

I love my workout sessions with Proactive Fitness. The trainers are supportive and fun and I have met many new friends since joining Proactive .

I met Shelley Turk over 5 years ago and started to train with her. When she started her own studio, I moved there with her; in fact, was one of her clients who helped paint walls in the new location! For me, Proactive Fitness has been a lifeline, through family loss, a knee replacement and now the pandemic. Not only am I stronger and more confident physically and mentally, I have had the blessing of making many new friends there. Shelley and her staff are remarkable in what they have done for functional-aging Saskatoon. I cannot say enough words of praise for the trainers who are knowledgeable, friendly and always, always so ready to provide advice and encouragement.

Shelley and her team of professions provide exemplary service on a personal level. I have never before participated in a fitness program that I have "loved" to come to. They challenge me and encourage me. Because of them I am able to play with grandchildren and enjoy wonderful activities. Highly recommend.

Proactive Fitness presents science-based, attainable processes that are presented to you personally through a non- judgemental, expert team. You set the pace for yourself and the team supports, nourishes and directs you how to be accountable and continue to be the BEST YOU!! Everyday we hear about health, wellness, nutrition and the importance of physical activity. Proactive Fitness helps you put all of that information into action!

Proactive Fitness offers excellent programs. I highly recommend it.

Sherrie Graham-Busse

Proactive Fitness has been a life changer for myself and 5 friends from rural Saskatchewan. Shelley and her team were happy to accommodate our specific needs. They set us up with a session every 2 weeks, that we can then do from home. We have our own Facebook page for encouragement and questions. The team continues to assess our individual needs and help us meet our goals of health and strength. We are moving into our 3rd year of working with Shelley and the Proactive team and couldn’t be happier with the results

I became a Proactive Fitness Member in February 2020 after participating in a 6 Week New Year’s Resolution Re-Boot Challenge. I enjoy the challenging workouts 3 times a week either in studio or via Zoom from the comfort of my own home. I like working with the talented trainers who offer just the right amount of motivation and encouragement to keeping you working hard. The functional movement of my shoulders and hips have improved significantly since I started and my core has never been stronger. Highly recommend giving Proactive Fitness a try!

Corinne Neumeier

I have been attending Proactive for over a year now and I just completed the New Year's Reboot challenge. I would recommend everyone attend one of the Proactive challenges they hold throughout the year. Focus is on exercise of course but I found the best oart was the nutrition aspect. Proactive staff are super - they are supportive, informative and encouraging. Actually everyone participating is supporting each other on their accomplishments. Not to mention you get a lot of recipes to help you along the way. The challenge used an app calked My Coach and it is a wonderful tool. You check in every day and it keeps you accountable, gives you tips and exercises. I thoroughly enjoyed this challenge and have a renewed energy to really watch what I eat. I attend classes 3 times a week but learning more on whole foods was so valuable. Thanks Proactive for getting me on the right track.

Brenda Corbett

May 2020 Thanks Shelley Turk and staff for an enjoyable 21 day challenge. Proactive Fitness has a excellent variety of classes and times which helps make exercising easier. I have seen results in a friend who has been a member of Saskatoon Proactive Fitness for a few years so I am looking forward to being part of your family of exercisers now and in the future. Great Job! December 2020. Proactive Fitness is amazing! Proactive Fitness has structure that helps me to be accountable to exercise three times a week for 9 months. Proactive Fitness has done an excellent job of providing exercise via Zoom. Thank you

Jean Clancy

I so appreciate ProActive Fitness, the trainers excel at adaptions so we are getting the most out of our session while doing so safely. I’m someone who has numerous concerns that the trainers always take into consideration. I have several sessions to choose from throughout the day, I can choose to do each exercise sitting or standing.

Dave Zolinsky

ProACTIVE Fitness is a great fitness centre. I have been going for 3 years, 3 x per week and my husband for 2 years. Hands down ProACTIVE has the friendliest, and competent trainers. Their goal is to ensure you are doing your exercises correctly paying attention to any injuries or soreness you might have. A very friendly place, easy to fit in, no pressure.

Angela Willey

I joined the 6 week challenge at ProActiveFit and enjoyed every bit of it. All the trainers are absolutely great. The workouts are different each time making them enjoyable and not wanting to miss any. I would highly recommend this gym to all.

Nipun Navaratne

Focused on delivering to middle age to old people- trainers here are specifically qualified with FAI (functional aging Institute) certification which greatly enhance their capability to create & conduct programs for the older age group. Very homely quaint space with clients that feel as family along with the trainers. come in to feel the difference

Connie Frith

I feel safe and enjoy the instruction. They know about my limitations and help me to challenge myself

Sheryl Harrow-Yurach

I love the spirit, instructors and people. Best gym experience ever!

Elizabeth Williamson

I'm so happy to be a member at ProActive Fitness. This is not like any other gym in Saskatoon. It's targeted at people like me - over 50, wanting to stay healthy and active. The classes are small, the trainers are professional and very knowledgeable, and the exercises are doable but effective. Now there's even the option to participate from home via Zoom, or go to the gym in person. I highly recommend this gym.

Karen Schwean

I am LOVING my zoom classes from ProActive Fitness! I can do them right from my living room, and find them to be challenging! I always feel great after a class! So happy I found this group!!

Evelyn Wojcichowsky

I have been attending classes 3 times a week since March 2020. Professional one on one help that I needed. Groups are kept small so a lot of focus on individuals. I have gained more strength and mobility and find the programs offered at ProActive Fitness to be exactly what I needed in this stage of my life.

Tim Masys

Owner's are too busy counting their money to respond back to customers.

Greg P

Great workouts both in studio and on Zoom.

Martin Lidgren

Certainly helped me in keeping my exercise going in this isolation time. Would love to experience gym time with you but for now the Internet will have to do. Keep up the good work . Laurie

Charlene hickie

Thank you for the online option to learn about a healthy lifestyle and for the opportunity to work out from home!

Colette Lemire

Found this place through my physio office - so glad I started! The trainers are all so wonderful and make you feel at ease and comfortable during each workout! Would not go anywhere else!

Lisa P

ProActive is the best gift I have ever given myself. My husband and I have been members for over two years. We workout with them two - three times a week and complete their fitness challenges. The difference their workouts have made on everyday activities is amazing. Great, knowledgeable and caring staff.

Brenda Nowakowski

My husband and I purchased a workout package at a live auction. Best money ever spent and that was over a year ago. Shelley runs a great business and trainers are top notch.

Donna Fitzgerald

I have been going here for over 2yrs & Love it! I love that the classes are small & you get the one on one feel from the trainers. I give them 5 ⭐️‘S

Candace Skrapek

A great gym geared specifically for older adults. Friendly and knowledgeable trainers who are accommodating and inclusive in their workouts. Shelley and her team have been particularly adaptive during pandemic with online sessions and encouragement

Elin Sletmoen

I had been looking for a good exercise place. My sisters always boasted of their yoga instructors and instructions but I just couldn’t seem to get into yoga full time. I heard about Proactive and that it included more mature people. I attended one free session and I was hooked. After signing up for three times a week program I told my sisters, “ I have found MY yoga!” The owner is constantly trying to improve and update the most optimum programs designed for older and not so old people and to provide enthusiastic, capable, fun, caring trainers. The atmosphere is one of acceptance, camaraderie and inclusion. It is a great place and I am so happy and lucky to have found it!

Diane Romanuck

Each session leader is super knowledgeable and personable. I feel spoiled with having them available to me. Attention to detail and communicating that, to each person, while not singling them out, is a special skill of many of the leaders whom I encounter. The best!

noreen murphy

Very professional studio for aging clients that have top quality certified instructors. Have been a member for 3 years and love it.

Alistair Paul

Shelley and the team are such terrific people. The gym environment is so friendly and the competent trainers love what they do

Jackie Smith

Shelley and the team at ProActive Fitness are great! The classes are small and the trainers are all wonderful, lots of fun and lots of motivation to do the best you can at whatever level you are at in your fitness journey. They really pay attention to the clients to make sure exercises are being done correctly. The Shape up for Summer challenge was full of information on healthy eating, great recipes and as always great classes!

Cheryl Stewart

I can’t thank Shelley and the trainers enough for encouraging and supporting me through my fitness journey! It truly got me off the couch for the first time in a long time and helped me on my journey to better health! I appreciate that their programs cater to all ages and abilities and that they are always available if a person has questions. ProActive Fitness is the best exercise program I have ever been a part of! I am so so grateful to have had the opportunity to be a part of this excellent group ❤️

Freda Salikin

For anyone looking for a gym to join, look no further! Their classes are small groups. The coaches are professional, knowledgeable, enthusiastic and upbeat. The owner works tirelessly to ensure that everyone’s needs are being met. ProActive Fitness offers so much in the areas fitness and personal well being. I highly recommend ProActive Fitness.

Jane WB

I have no hesitation about giving Shelley and her team at Proactive Fitness a very positive review. I joined the gym about a year and a half ago and have enjoyed working with all the trainers. They are very knowledgeable and able to adapt any of the exercises to the needs of their clients. -Knee, hip, back, shoulder issues - they can all be accommodated. The groups are small- 6- so we all receive attention and support. It is all about functional fitness and ageing well. When gyms shut down in March Shelly and her staff quickly made the shift to online training using zoom. We now have the option to participate in person at the gym or from our home on zoom. A great place!

Lauree Liwiski

This is an excellent gym for the "over 50 crowd". The trainers are extremely professional and knowledgeable in all aspects of fitness, function, food and fun!! Classes are small and available for all levels of fitness. Gym is very clean and covid conscious.

Bonnie Lindgren

Great workouts. I feel like I can do them and the instructors give clear instructions.

Susan Gray

I love ProActive! For the first time in my life, I look forward to my workouts. It’s amazing to be known by name every time! I appreciate the small classes and the variety of exercises and trainers. As I celebrate my one year anniversary of finding this wonderful, welcoming group, I thank you all for hard work, warmth & support. The online coaching and support while we are sheltering in place is helping to preserve my sanity. See you all soon!

Arlene Kish

Excellent remote trainers during this isolation time.

Dar Mann

Highly recommend ProActive Fitness. I am enjoying their online program.
