There is nothing more satisfying than seeing how the work we do transforms people. When members show up & give it their all, it enhances their body, their mind, their health, their relationships, their work & everything in between. It's fun just being a part of that. In 2006 Christi and I bought a personal training studio in south Florida.
We left Calgary bright eyed and bushy tailed. We were fortunate enough to work with some of the NHLs finest including the Florida Panthers, a few Olympic athletes, an LPGA tour pro and the world's best wakeboarder. Although the high-profile athletes were great, we were really fortunate to have developed strong relationships with regular Joes, desk jockeys and stay-at-home moms.

Joined this CFCB in 2016 after researching a few other gyms and really liked the credentials the Barbers and other coaches experience. 4 years later, I can say this place is absolutely phenomenal!!! I've done things I never imagined in a gym like handstand pushups, pull-ups or running 5km. This is all due to great coaching and programming from the Barbers and the entire coaching staff!! The amount of events that CFCB puts on - Battle, Affiliate challenges, Intramural open is amazing, the community here is amazing, the friends I have made are amazing.. 10/10 recommend to everyone. Including dogs

Don't let age, mobility, flexibility or ability stop you from participating in Crossfit, especially at Barracks Fitness. Starting with the owners, Eric and Christi, and continuing with the amazing Coaches, you will receive knowledgable assistance to perform all movements safely - plus the encouragement to achieve your personal best. And most importantly, it's a fun environment to workout with the Barracks Fitness Family!

I’ve been a member here for 8 years and they just keep getting better and better! While travelling I have dropped in on many CrossFit gyms over the years and I always come to the same conclusion - Barracks Fitness is the best gym I’ve ever been to. The coaches are excellent, they are well-trained and happy to give great tips. The community is full of awesome and welcoming people. And all of this is made possible by phenomenal owners, Eric and Christi. They truly care about their members and this year they have bent over backwards to accommodate and ensure their members are staying fit (and

Give this gym a shot! The workouts are fun, the atmosphere is encouraging, you'll be supported through your progress, it's squeaky clean, and the coaches are always making sure you're safe and moving correctly. Eric and Christi are awesome people, as well, and work to make a positive impact in their community. And for those that would like to hone their skills, compete, or just want to carry more bags of groceries in at one time, there's extra programming to get you there.

This is not a standard Crossfit gym! I've been to gyms all over the world and honestly the community, programming, quality of coaching and flexibility shown during headwinds (insert COVID) is hands down the best I've seen. Eric and Christie genuinely appreciate every member. If you're willing to put in the work BF offer competition programming. If you've at the other end of the spectrum and want to just turn up, catch up on the goss and get your sweat on the classes cater for this as well.

When I left my Vancouver CrossFit gym, I was worried that I wouldn't enjoy CrossFit as much being away from my home gym. I was so so so wrong. It took no time at all for me to feel like I was part of their community, and I ended up realizing that Barracks had everything I needed plus more. I can vividly remember my first day, being welcomed by everyone and seeing many friendly faces. You can see the heart and soul that Eric and Christi put into the gym, including selecting coaches that genuinely care about the athletes, top of the line programming, and having the best equipment and a clean gym

Barracks Fitness (Crossfit Currie Barracks) is an excellent facility for anyone looking for a new gym! I’m not a member here as it’s a little far from home, but have attended a few competitions held at this location. I’ve seen Christi and Eric in action during comps with SEVERAL people in their building. They operate a clean, well equipped, efficient gym. I’ve met a few members of their community and they made me feel welcomed and like one of their own. I’d highly recommend Barracks Fitness to anyone!
