Hands down the best gym I've been to. From the minute I walked into my first class, I was welcomed into the Square 1 family. The staff are friendly and all the trainers are super knowledgeable, motivating, and will push you until you do your best. Trainers take a different approach to their classes, however, they all critique your technique until you perfect it, which has helped me a great deal On top of great trainers, they provide excellent workouts. They never get boring or repetitive, and every time you learn something new. Small class sizes help you get to know the trainers, which all challenge you but ensure you are having a good time. Never a bad class ever since I bought a pass to this amazing place. So, what are you waiting for? Do yourself a favour and join the square 1 family.

Square 1 is not just a kickboxing studio. It's a lifestyle. I'm at Square 1 literally 5 days a week and I've been training with Cy for over a month now. Hands down, the best trainer. Cy exudes this great energy and will push you. He takes on a very personal approach in his classes and he'll go the extra mile after class just to build up your mentality, confidence, technique... literally everything. He sincerely cares about your progress because he wants you to reach your maximum potential.When I come to class, he knows exactly what I need to work on and will critique my technique until it's 100%. All the trainers at Square 1 are top notch. They're experienced and take on different approaches with training. When I went back to school and couldn't make it to classes anymore, the owner, Tas, emailed me just to see how I was doing. That's how much they care. I would not hesitate to recommend Square 1 to anyone.

One of my favorite gyms in Calgary! A huge variety of classes, with a focus on smaller group training. All the trainers are so amazing and attentive, and will make sure you are performing each exercise correctly. The classes are great for any fitness level, they are happy to give you different variations of exercises whether you are new or just getting over an injury. Everyone is so friendly and motivating there, it makes classes even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this place if you're looking to switch up your gym routine, or want to do something new like kickboxing!

I cannot recommend this place enough. A small team of friendly and approachable staff help make a true community within the gym that makes you want to keep coming back. No matter your fitness level, the trainers meet you where you are and help you get an amazing workout that matches your level and goals. You're never made to feel bad for struggling -- just encouraged to keep going. I've tried a lot of different gyms and workout routines, and this is the only one that has stuck. Absolutely worth a try.

If you’re looking for an amazing workout look no further. I have been taking the Pad classes and Kick and Lift and absolutely Love these classes! You burn a ton of calories and learn so much. The Trainers are great and work with you to ensure you use proper technique. The space is great and you will meet lots of wonderful people!

The staff here is crazy friendly and welcoming. Probably the first thing you'll notice coming here. Unfortunately I don't go here anymore because I have a bunch of other fitness/sports commitments and balancing cost/time was a bit of an issue for me, but I still recommend to all my friends trying this place out to see if its for them

This gym is one of the best in town. Their integrated approach provides a range of classes from strength training to kickboxing to mobility. Each and every instructor is highly trained and harbours an environment for fitness growth. The members they attract not only become your gym buddies but your Square1 family. Highly recommend this gym to all skill levels and ages. Square1 will welcome you with open arms.

I absolutely love this gym!! I’ve never had the same class twice, I can always count on a unique challenging workout, no matter which class I try. All the trainers are so knowledgeable and patient in adjusting your form and encouraging your success. Everyone is so nice and remembers your name right off the bat - so much more than a gym, Square 1 is a community!

I love this gym! All of the staff make you feel very welcome and the instructors have equally challenging classes with their own unique style, so it never gets boring. The classes are small which allows the trainers to help with form more, which is really important to me since I have a bad knee. Also, the workouts are hard, fast and fun with great music too!

Undoubtedly one of the best boutique gyms in Calgary. Their trainers are top-notch, enthusiastic and observant. Classes are challenging yet fun. They have all the no-nonsense equipment of a modern gym -- barbells, pull up bars, medicine balls, benches, etc. Plus the essentials of a kickboxing gym -- heavy bags, gloves, pads and a ring. They hit a sweet spot in terms of class size to space ratio. And the balance of kickboxing and bootcamp style classes make this a worthwhile place to get fit.
