SW Calgary Gyms?

[calflames]

Hey all - I am new in Calgary and am trying to figure out which gym to go with in the downtown/lower SW area. Budget is a consideration. Sounds like WHC is in the $50-60 range. Does anyone know what I am looking at if I want to go with a personal trainer. You could call me a rookie when it comes to gyming so need the trainer to give me start-up advice and a long-term plan complete with nutrition counsel. Appreciate all ur input!

I don't remember the name, but there's an excellent gym in Woodbine in the same mall as the Safeway. It's in the basement and not too many people know about it. It's joined with a kung fu place or something. Is as big as a World Heath but not as douchy or expensive. They have classes and trainers. I'd check it out in a heartbeat. Whenever I went it was never very busy. Now that being said, I moved away a year ago, so maybe things have changed.

Have you checked out the Talisman Centre, by the Stampede grounds? It can be a bit busy, but I love it. In the area you described as well.
