OPEX Fitness Lacombe

Well managed gym. Smaller gym with grand training. Personalized plan to suit your needs. Knowledgeable coaches take time to do an evaluation of your abilities and your needs in a gym and plan accordingly for the client. You learn how to do it right and as a habit, so you are able to feel confident to complete a workout even when away from home. A relaxed atmosphere where no one feels threatened or in a competition. Everyone is welcoming even between clients. Immediate constructive feedback is given in a very professional manner. The coaches know people by their name, take time to greet the client and acknowledge every client that comes in. They focus on habits and learning the moves the right way in the first place. They address issues right away but don't pick on all the little issues that could discourage some clients, but they do address the ones that needs to be addressed. They genuinely listen to concerns clients have. Its a great gym to be in where everybody knows your name. :)

A great gym with top-notch staff committed to your success. They focus on form, safety and meeting your individual goals.

Where to begin...I was putting on weight and couldn't seem to get on top of it. I felt fat...and I was starting to look it. Either I had to do something or buy bigger clothes. I wasn't sure if this was for me or that I could do it. An injury in my back when I was a kid was making it hard for me to move. Ryan, Brendan and Catherine helped me with stretches and customizing/scaling so that I would get the most out of every exercise even if I couldn't quite do it yet. Class sizes are small so you basically group-share a personal trainer. They are actively engaged in making sure you get the most out of every workout and cheer you on to the finish!

After 6 weeks I felt stronger and my back pain decreased. My weight went up a little but I felt better. I kept going and 4 months in I regained a huge range of motion that has been lost for over 15 years. I can sleep on my back and do a toes-to-bar. In 8 months I've lost 25lbs and 3 pant sizes. It wasn't quick and it's not easy - but it has been good and healthy. Every class is a challenge I look forward to. This is a long lasting change of lifestyle. No matter your age, your fitness level or your size, this place is for you. Never gets boring and lots of great people to work out with. I'm a lifer!

The guys who run this place are AMAZING! They are so accommodating to everyones abilities and fitness levels and go the extra mile to make sure that everyone are able to enjoy the work outs, regardless of if you are a pro athlete or someone who has never worked out before. When you walk in you can feel that their passion is to make fitness and a healthy lifestyle accessible to everyone. If you are looking for a community that will help you reach your fitness goals then this is the place to be!!

I've been going to CrossFit Lacombe for a year at the time of this review, and with Brendan and Ryan's coaching have gone from a predominantly sedentary lifestyle to incorporating activity into mostly every day of the week. I feel healthier, happier, stronger, and just better in general.
Having tried other fitness programs in the past, what I like the most about CrossFit Lacombe is the uncomplicated pricing and total lack of gimmicks with regards to billing, programming and results. The workouts are varied enough that I don't get bored as well, scale-able to all fitness levels and develop fundamental movements and lifts so that progress is measurable.
I can't say enough positive things about this business and their sincere intention to make the community of Lacombe better with them in it.
