Forma Fitness - Calgary

If you’re looking for a great gym with trainers who actually care about getting you into shape while keeping your body healthy this would be the place! Tara the gym’s owner will push you to work hard and rest your limits so that you can be the best you. They also make sure that you do all the exercises with proper form so that you don’t end up hurting your body in the long run which is super important! I’ve been to a few gyms that all they care about is getting you to push harder and not care about the consequences to your body. That is not the case at Forma! They make sure you’re able to exercise all the way into retirement. The gym is also great for anyone at any fitness level as you can do the workouts at your own pace. So you can push as hard as you’d like and the workouts never get easier unless you want them to! I have seen people at the gym who are still in their 20s to seniors and everyone works out great together. The atmosphere at the gym is also fantastic. Everyone is super encouraging and helps you make it through and push that last little bit. I would definitely recommend Forma Fitness for anyone.

I’m obsessed with this gym! Prior to going to forma I did mainly cardio and was intimidated by heavy weightlifting. The coaches are highly skilled and encouraging, and I quickly built strength and confidence alongside a supportive team. Forma took my fitness to the next level and it’s a great small business to support!

If you’re looking for a fun, friendly and supportive community to get in shape with, then you need to check out Forma Fitness! The coaches push you to try your hardest and hold you accountable to your goals, and the members are welcoming and encouraging. Working out with forma improved my strength, confidence and self-discipline. For me I didn’t just join a gym, I joined the forma family. <3

Very welcoming environment for people of all fitness levels and ages. The workouts are always changing so everyday it is different. They always have a strength component as well as a circuit for a great workout.

Forma is THE BEST. The workouts are challenging, interesting, fun and different. I’ve had a chance to lift heavier at Forma and it makes such a huge difference in my fitness level. Corey is attentive and works with each member to ensure their form is correct and they are working to their full potential. The members are friendly, welcoming and quickly become friends. I can’t say enough good things and attempt to get everyone I know to come to class, and when they do they are hooked.

My experience with Forma has been nothing but incredibly positive. Their ability to adapt to the constant changing parameters over this past year has been incredible. They consistently go out of their way to give you the best quality workout and support. The workouts are continuously varied so that there is something for everyone. Whether you like lifting weights or being drenched in sweat, Forma can help you achieve your goal.

Forma is the gym you didn't think you needed. Their fitness classes are offered multiple times a day, every day. I love the classes! I don't have to plan my workouts or count reps/keep track of time and I always leave feeling accomplished and recharged. While the classes offer varieties of exercises for all members, the coaches defy time and space by being present everywhere at all times; making sure that all members are exercising safely - correct forms and weights as well as spotting - and that each exercise is scaled down or up to maximize its benefits for all. They also offer personalized options for those with injuries so that no one is missing out. The diversity at Forma makes everyone feel very welcome. You will find people of all professions, students, working moms, stay at home moms, dads, retirees, etc. People that have been athletes all their lives to people that just want to get their fitness journey started. All these people get together to workout and the magical coaches makes every workout equally challenging for every single one. Have injuries and unsure? The husband with a torn ACL that didn't want another surgery went to see Corey after numerous physios and saw results within the first 2 personal training sessions. Corey not only comes with the knowledge and passion for the industry, he also comes with compassion for people he works with. His personal training sessions are targeted and individualized to suit whatever needs an individual may have. While working on his bad knee, he also makes sure to strengthen the rest of his body. We are now choosing to see Corey over any physio in town. What about the fitness challenges? - I participated in the 6 week challenge and was blown away by how much knowledge I gained from it. The program is designed so that you track your progress in every way. My goal was to lift heavier at the end of the challenge - which I most definitely achieved - and I lost significant amount of weight while gaining muscle weight. I noticed physical changes in my body and I felt better. My diet changed and it was not as grueling as I anticipated. The way Corey explained why we do certain things - like why breakfast is important, why we need certain amount of protein, why we don't always lift as heavy as we can - makes sense and fruitful. If you trust the process and follow it, I promise you - you will see results and will be blown away! It took me a long time to join Forma because there are cheaper gyms out there but it didn't take long before I realized that for what I get from Forma - the most amazing and supportive community, the expertise, mental health and physical health gains, etc. - I would still go if they raised their prices! It is true, you get what you paid for and Forma is worth every penny they ask for. Let's be honest, if a child's gym was charging what Forma was charging, you'd sign up your kid in a heartbeat. So, why not you? For whatever your reason is, come check Forma out. Forma is definitely a hidden gem. Sure there are other gyms out there, but Corey and Tara can only be found at Forma :)

Love this place. I’ve been doing private training sessions with Corey for 6 months now, and we have never done the same workout twice. He keeps the workouts new and interesting. He’s very knowledgeable and knows my limits and pushes me to them. I tried a group class for the first time, and it was very friendly and welcoming and of course it kicked my butt.
