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.
Starting going to SVAC in March and it’s incredible; the clean environment, atmosphere, amazing community, great equipment, and they’re upgrading things around the gym. I’ve truly never felt more welcomed and more at home at SVAC!

I absolutely love this facility! Originally I had signed up for their gym access membership, but after using the three complimentary class passes that it comes with - I eventually upgraded to the all access membership & could not be more pleased with what it has to offer.
The gym floor has absolutely everything you could possibly need! All of the equipment is new & very well kept. I’m an extremely big fan of the yoga classes that are offered here! The yoga studio is a super duper tranquil space to practice & all of the instructors have been fantastic.
P.S. Front desk staff member Kenza is an all-star! I haven’t used a locker with a combination in over ten years… read full review
