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.”
