Sturgeon Valley Athletic Club

I’ve been attending Sturgeon Valley Athletic Club since January 2026, and overall, I’ve had a really positive experience. Every interaction I’ve had with staff has been friendly, warm, and welcoming. The instructors I’ve had so far for spin, yoga, and Pilates have all been informative, personable, and made their classes feel comfortable and approachable. That said, the gym atmosphere can sometimes be intimidating. A small handful of patrons are unfortunately quite rude, disrespectful, and seem to have very little awareness of the people around them. This can make the gym floor uncomfortable, particularly when you’re trying to use equipment. Equipment can also be frustrating to access at times. I’ve encountered multiple situations where people sit on equipment for extended periods without actually using it, seemingly unaware that other members are waiting. This is especially frustrating in a busy gym, where being mindful of others makes a huge difference. Unfortunately, despite hearing similar complaints from other patrons, I have yet to see much being done to address this. Overall, I really enjoy the club and especially appreciate the staff and class instructors. I just wish there were a little more member accountability and enforcement around gym-floor etiquette, because that would make an otherwise great facility feel much more welcoming for everyone.

I LOVE this gym. It’s always clean, well-maintained, and has such a welcoming atmosphere. I’ve been coming here consistently and can honestly say the classes, the instructors, and the overall vibe here are just top tier. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Love the classes from Tara, Jacqi, and Conrad — they each have their own style and make every class enjoyable. Shout out to Shareen — her classes are always challenging and well-structured. Also, my personal trainer Marlaina has been amazing. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and makes every session both effective and rewarding.

I cannot recommend my restorative/yin yoga teacher (Amber Demers) highly enough! Her expertise, gentle guidance, and intuitive teaching style create an environment that is both deeply relaxing and profoundly rejuvenating. Each class is structured with intention, offering a perfect balance of mindful movement, breath work, restorative stillness and even a few laughs. The benefits of her classes extended far beyond the studio. Also a shout out to Claire my boxing instructor! She is the real deal. Her coaching blends skill, discipline, and genuine passion that pushes you to become your strongest self. Every session is challenging in the best way, and her attention to technique has transformed my confidence and ability. She makes you feel supported, empowered and ready to give 110%. I am grateful for the growth I’ve experienced because of both these amazing ladies!

I love this gym! Besides having very friendly staff, everything is always very clean, the changing rooms, the equipment. You can tell they're always on top of things. Excellent work guys, keep it up! 👍

I love SVAC I have been coming here for years.I like that this gym is open until 11pm Monday-Thursday which works well for me.Very clean facility and great instructors.
