GoodLife in Canyon Meadows in SE Calgary. Good gym, never too busy and lotsa hotties. I pay $41.99 a month including GST and I have access to all the aerobics/pilates/yoga/RPM classes I want. The fact that it's Canadian is one of the main reasons I went to it.
Holy wow. I currently pay double what you pay for my gym pass at the U, and this place is way closer to where I live.

The U of C is awesome too if you are alumni, or live close to the university.
Mount Royal COLLEGE, has a good gym as well.
P90X and biking outside in the summer is awesome too

Yes I am aware of their shiny new designation. To me they will be MRC for awhile.
I remember back in highschool about a century ago, when we found out that a classmate was applying to go to MRC, we had a song written to the Mickey mouse club end theme
"MRC . . . . See you real soon"
"K E Y . . . . Why . . . cause you can't pass high school"
"M . . .O . . . U. . . S . . . E"

Given that I am leaving Canada on July 1st, if anyone wants to take over my Goodlife membership for $41.99 (GST included), please PM me. They have the SE location at MacLeod and Canyon Meadows drive, one by WestHills and a couple ladies only locations around town.
I'm at Northland Gold's. It gets way too busy there during prime times. 5-6 PM
The facility is too small compared to the UofC. The only thing that I like about Northland Gold's more than the UofC gym is that Gold's has more cardio equipment.
I've had some good and bad experience with Anytime fitness in Toronto and Calgary. In Toronto (north-east), the clubs are managed well. It’s open all day, and you can do your work outs without any problems. People are nice and helpful. But, compared to other gyms (extreme fitness and so forth) they lack some equipment.
But ,the one in Calgary (12192 Symons Valley Road #36 Calgary, AB T3P 0A3), is a real problem. Avoid this gym at all costs. Now, with Anytime fitness, the rule is that when you register at one club you should be able to use it anywhere in the world. My home gym is in East Toronto, but when I transferred to Calgary I couldn't open the door. And the guy who manages the gym calls me and tells me that I have to come and meet him in order to get in(three days before I came to Calgary my 6 month membership got expired in Toronto, but the very next day after my membership expired I went renewed it for a month- the guy in the Calgary gym tells me that it’s my fault that I haven't extended it earlier) .
And there is this stupid rule that you have to take your shoes off when you enter the gym (12192 Symons Valley Road #36 Calgary, AB T3P 0A3). They required you to transfer from your casual shoes to workout shoes when you enter(cause they don’t want to bring in gravel and etc … in to the gym-so everyone have to change the shoes every time). So, as a good fellow, I did as I was told. Once, I forgot to take my workout shoes home and left it on the gym's locker area. The next day when I came in my shoes were gone. The manager has placed it in the lost and found bin(I couldn't workout for three days, cause they didn't tell me about such a rule).
So, in conclusion, I guess it depends on the location. Try the gym for a month and see how they manage it. But if any of you readers planning to head west(Alberta), you've been warned about Anytime fitness. I seriously think I'm gonna get a membership with another gym that’s open 24hrs.
I go there too. Did you know that you can volunteer 1.5hrs per week and get a free membership? There are lots of positions too, teaching floor hockey to tots, cleaning equipment, etc.. It's worth it and for a good cause.

Did not know that. Does it apply to all YMCA locations? I goto the YMCA DT.

I've been thinking about that too. I work out there 5 days a week and I could certainly handle the extra hour and a half.
I go to the WHC on Macleod Trail. Seems pretty nice (it's the only gym I've ever been to) and it's not generally so busy that I can't get on the machine I want to use after a couple minutes. It's open 24/7-ish (usually the change is for a holiday, it's 'only' 8am-6pm) so that's nice, too.
I'm looking for a good place to swim. The thing is I suck at swimming, so I would like to go to a place thats not busy so I dont get laughed at. Any suggestions?

Any City of Calgary gym, especially the one across from the U of C.
