Raise the Bar SP

Love Raise the Bar Sherwood Park! The studio owners and trainers are incredibly welcoming, skilled and caring. I appreciate the kind corrections on form, the ability to adapt exercises if something doesn’t feel right and reminders to listen to your body. I really appreciate not being pushed or yelled at during the classes (yes, I’ve actually been to lots of other gyms that have done this!). I feel like the owners/trainers genuinely care about my health journey. The equipment is clean and the amenities are readily available, even robes and coffee. I have been to many studios/gyms and have found this the best I’ve attended! The vibe in the studio is so friendly and fun, I just love it!

Raise the Bar (RTB) Sherwood Park offers several types group fitness classes. The owners, coaches, and members are encouraging and supportive. RTB is not just a gym or workout facility it is an amazing community!

Raise the Bar is not only an amazing fitness gym with great coaches and classes, but the community of people that attend the classes always make everyone feel included and welcome - no matter if you’re new or been there since the beginning. The variety of strength, cardio, conditioning and functional movement is second to none. Cannot say enough - come join us and see for yourself!

This place is a near daily “go to” for me. EVERY time I go I receive an excellent workout along with technical guidance on form to maximize moves and reduce injuries. ALL coaches are knowledgeable and will meet you where you are at in your fitness level. The BONUS of this gym is its emphasis on community. We get to know each other, everyone is “seen” and you matter. What a great combination! Nice job Kara and Jo as you encourage a culture for trainers and clients that is rewarding and growing!

I’ve been working out at RTB for a couple of years and am so grateful I found this gym and my people. It’s a friendly, fun, inclusive place to exercise with a variety of classes, terrific owners and coaches who help to ensure proper movement. Also, a supportive community who cheer each other on. Highly recommend.

If you’re looking for Pilates, Yoga and fitness classes in Sherwood Park- RTB is a wonderful place! Especially if you’re looking to be apart of a gym community within Sherwood Park. They have a variety of classes with AMAZING instructors! The Pilates is a personal favourite of mine and I’m beyond happy to have found such an incredible studio!

Full disclosure I am married to one of the owners. I do not regularly attend classes so my opinion is from a different perspective. With that said, what I can assure any who read these reviews is Joanna and Kara put their heart and soul into everything you see and touch at Raise the Bar, every class program, and every clients progress. They have developed a strong community and consider each client a friend who’s personal success is directly tied to both the strength of community and programming. Combined with a unique, classy space this is truly a home for members. They will even give you a card on your birthday! If you feel this is for you they will gladly welcome another member to the RTB family. Be warned, while they have soft robes and a coffee bar, this is not a spa. They will still make you sweat and possibly curse them under your breath!

I have been a member of Raise the Bar Sherwood Park since Day 1. Prior to that, Kara and Joanna were also my coaches at another gym they worked at. These ladies have created a culture of inclusion, positiveness, fun, variety and friendships while ensuring our safety and fitness are first and foremost. I have made the best friends here for life, and am forever grateful for this community and Kara and Joanna.

In my opinion, RTB is one of the best gyms in the Edmonton area. It's locally owned and the owners really care about their clients and results.I've been to group classes which were awesome but also currently working with Joanna in private sessions to help with proper movement patterns, addressing low back pain.She is better than going to *most physio therapists.Highly recommend RTB for their Pilates classes, group fitness and personal training!

So thankful I found this gym! I gave it 5 stars but I would give it 100 stars if that was an option! Joanna, Kara, and the RTB Coaches and members have built an amazing community here. I love the variety of classes that are offered so that you can work on building strength or mix it up with core and cardio. Pilates and yoga are offered in the warm room upstairs and tonight I just tried my first warm barre class, and it was so much fun! Huge shoutout to my coaches this week: Patty, Cass, Brandi, and Hannah for their encouragement and leading these classes. Thanks to my workout friends as well. Had some really great classes thanks to all of you! See you again soon!
