F.R.E.E. Fitness

Great environment, very welcoming, and it’s own little. Every member is very friendly and supportive. I train with Max Laroque and he pushes me to be better and is very knowledgeable.

I recently started attending the group workout they offer for nurses (on Tuesday and Thursday evenings), and have been so impressed by this gym. I felt welcomed by the staff from the moment I walked in. Even within a group setting, Tony is attentive to the needs and abilities of each individual participant. Also, this class is tailored to develop the strength and endurance we require as nurses, which I think is so important!I've also had my first personal training session with Don! During the session he completed a thorough intake assessment, including asking about my general fitness routine, any injuries, and my goals. He then assessed my strength and mobility to assist with his development of a workout plan. He was focused on ensuring I had appropriate technique/alignment, and emphasized the importance of client/trainer communication and safety. Can't wait for my next session! More...

I've been with FREE Fitness for almost a month now and am so glad that I decided to join! I was looking for a new gym, one with a fun and social environment and surrounded by people who motivate you to reach your goals and to live a healthier lifestyle. I decided to try personal training for Olympic Lifting and I wanted someone to help me reach my goals of 1. Becoming stronger 2. Working on technique 3. Someone who is flexible with my schedule 4. Someone who is fun. Max met all of those on our first trial day! Its been awesome working with him and learning from him so far into my program and I count down the days until I get to come back to the gym to train!Everytime I step into the gym, I meet someone new whether it be the personal trainers or the usual's that come to workout. It really is like a family feel in there and that's exactly what I love about this place. Everyone is welcoming which makes being yourself, working out, and working on your goals so much easier knowing you are supported.I would HIGHLY recommend this gym to anyone, no matter where you are in your fitness journey because no matter what, everyone there will have your back and be cheering you on!

I started the free trial with F.R.E.E. in October, and since then I have been hooked! One thing that really drew me to get the personal training sessions was not just the knowledgeable and friendly trainers, but the fact that they have a "pay how you feel" kind of motto. Which really puts a client first kind of perspective to their gym, versus a we want your money kind of thing... Which has been my experience with many past gyms. My first interaction was on the phone with Tony. He was super friendly and informative. He was able to answer all the questions that I had, because of course I thought that there had to be a catch! I recently just signed on with another set of sessions with my trainer, Liam. So far it has been excellent, and I am really seeing a lot of results. I really like how Liam takes the time to understand what my goals are and design a fitness strategy that works for me. I tend to get bored at the gym, and when I see him I definitely do not get bored. I feel the burn! If you're looking for a place that has great trainers, that has a client focused perspective (not just about the money) F.R.E.E. is the place for you! Trust me, you won't regret it! More...

I read a review about F.R.E.E Fitness and decided to DM for additional information immediately before I chickened out. It has been years since I have walked into a gym and the thought of it was very scary for me; to the point that I almost backed out last minute. Tony was my first point of contact and he immediately put me at ease. After we discussed my goals he put me in contact with Don who I have now been working with twice a week for just under a month.This is the first time ever that I actually look forward to going to a gym and actually working out. Don structures each session so that it is both challenging but still attainable. I don't feel judged but I do feel encouraged, motivated and accepted. While I still have a long ways to go in attaining my weight loss goals, in such a short period of time I am already reaching some non scale goals. I am a type ll diabetic and this year my numbers have been higher than they have ever been which was really alarming for me. I am nearing 4 weeks of clean eating (not dieting per say, but eating actual whole foods I prepare and don't stop at a drive-thru for!) and exercising and my numbers are amazing. I have never been able to get my fasting number under a 9 or 10 before and now it is a consistent 6! This excites me and helps keep me motivated and on track.If you're thinking about joining a gym and getting personal 1 on 1 training, F.R.E.E Fitness is awesome. They get rid of barriers and help you reach your goals! More...

This is the place to go when your waist circumference way exceeds what the Heart & Stroke Foundation recommends or when you get short of breath trying to get to the departure gate to catch your flight or even just to bend down to pull weeds from the garden because your belly fat pushes against your lungs. Many years of not being active and poor eating habits have devastatingly taken its toll. Tony is an excellent trainer and has been helping me feel, look and move better. He is very knowledgeable, kind, patient and not scary. He knows how to safely train older clients. Movement is now my medicine and I look forward to my next training session. More...

I am absolutely in love with this gym! Tony was the first person I talked to about wanting to start personal training. He is very kind, friendly, and easy to talk to. After having a conversation he helped me determine which trainer would be the perfect fit for me. I have been working out with Don now for 3 weeks and I have truly loved every second of it. They truly value making personal training financially accessible so everyone can have access to developing a healthier life style - whatever your goals may be. The gym is super clean, with an open, fun atmosphere. There is always good music playing and the BEST part is people can bring their dogs to the gym! You get a good work out and some puppy love! It is also wonderful to see all the staff participate in community activities or fundraisers for promotion of health and fitness!I would highly recommend this gym to anyone interested in personal training or a friendly gym to get their sweat on!

Where do I begin? I went in for a business meeting and left with a plan for my own wellness goals and boat loads of encouragement from Tony! He set me up with Liam, one of the trainers. I'm very new to proper exercise and have a tailbone injury which hasn't been honoured at previous gyms, making working out scary for me. Liam sat for about an hour with me going over my goals, accountability and setting expectations on both sides. My first few sessions have felt SAFE, challenging and always leave me hungry for more. Each trainer I've met in passing have been so welcoming and it truly is a no judgment zone. Their philosophy that wellness should be accessible to everyone is what drew me in and their motivational words, experience and open communication will keep me going back. They may be stuck with me forever! Definitely a gem in the Edmonton community. More...

I have been constantly at odds with my joints over the last 10 years and happened to stumble upon Ty Khan in my search for a suitable fitness routine for my (easily battered) self. I went to our first session letting him know, "I can't squat because it hurts my knees, always has done". He watched a few squats, during which I complained the whole time about pain, gave me a few simple instructions, and literally the next squats I did had no pain at all. I was astounded. I have hyperflexibility and, when I met Ty, was honestly struggling with simple things like walking up stairs without twinges and pain. But every time we'd come to a move where there was pain he knew exactly how to change what I was doing to avoid it and educated me so I can navigate it myself even now that I'm across the world. He has given me the ability to understand my own movements and make small corrections in my daily life that have allowed me to go further into fitness with no fear. He honestly changed my life, I say that to everyone who asks, he gave me back my mobility and my confidence in my abilities as an athlete. Not to mention I can go to the gym, lift weights, and not feel out of place because I know my form is on point ;) Thanks Ty. Much Love. All seriousness aside; great group of guys, super involved in their community, and easy to talk to/feel comfortable with. 11/10 would recommend. More...
