It's simple - hiring an SVPT certified personal trainer can take out the confusion and guess work about proper training as well as reduce the risk of injury. In the long run personal training can help save you time and money all while getting you fitter and healthier, and living a fuller life. Many of you are doing exercises and programs that just aren't suited for your body, fitness level, or goals.
Our expertise and experience is what allows our personal trainers and coaches go above and beyond for our clients and athletes. It's what has made SVPT an award-winning facility that has been Voted #1 Private Gym/Fitness Studio in Edmonton for 2015, 2016 and 2017. Our personal trainers keep you motivated and challenged by engaging you in goal-oriented and needs-based private personal training sessions.
Share the cost of a personal trainer, doing your own customized program that is tailored to your needs and goals, and based on a consult and assessment. These semi-private personal training sessions are with up to 2 others whom you may or may not know. It is NOT group training. Group training is where everyone is doing the same thing.

My overall experience with SVPT has been life changing and great! My trainer Jenya, is the most understanding, kind hearted, and wonderful human. She is not just a trainer, she is someone that will lend you a shoulder to cry on. My health journey has been a tough one, but svpt environment made it comfortable for me to show my hardships and achievements. Thank you to Jenya & Svpt.

Amazing facility with even better staff. Jenya is a great trainer, she focuses on exactly what goals you want to achieve. The rest of the staff are friendly and create a great workout environment. They've been very responsive to all the Covid restrictions and changes and at all times have communicated with us and made us feel safe. Highly recommend SVPT!

I've trained at SVPT for over 6 years. I love how it is a place for everyone, regardless of fitness level. I love that it is always immaculate. Since re-opening with COVID, it is even cleaner than before (and I wouldn't have thought that could actually be a thing). I have achieved a number of fitness goals since starting to train here, and will continue to invest in training in the coming years.

Fantastic private gym. The equipment is all well maintained and regularly updated. Facility itself is well laid and spotlessly clean.
Training staff is friendly and very skilled at designing programs specific to the individual. No CrossFit garbage or inappropriate exercises meant for a different skill set.
Flexible scheduling and training options make this feasible for most people.

I have gone to SVTP for 2 years. The trainers are so knoweagble and I love Brittany who has taken care of my training for the last 2 years. Shara runs an amazing clean, organized and friendly place. There is lots of equipment and space for everyone. If you are looking for a personal training gym, no matter your experience level, I would check SVPT out.

I have been working out with Michelle at SVPT for about a year and a half and am so happy that I landed here. The trainers truly take the time to understand your goals and how your body moves right from the start regardless of your fitness level or reasons for being there. As a competitive athlete I’ve struggled with injuries and nagging issues with my body and I can honestly say I have never felt stronger but also this pain free in recent memory. The facility itself is awesome, super clean since reopening and an overall great environment. You will not regret giving SVPT a try!

I've been going to SVPT for over a year and a half and I can unequivocally say that my life and health is MUCH better for it. My trainer Brittany is amazing! Professional, great communicator, incredibly knowledgable and really takes the time to know her clients and their goals. She took the time to understand how my body moves, its limitations and knows how to get the results I'm after. I cannot say enough good things about Brittany and SVPT! The gym itself is extremely clean, has a great friendly environment and inclusive atmosphere for all fitness levels. It feels good knowing they have followed

SVPT is the sort of place you’d expect to find people who are fit. And you do. There are people there who are training for things. Like sports. Competitions. But there are also people like the septuagenarian sloth writing this review. The only event I’m training for is the 50-yard buffet. More than this, however, I appreciate the fine facilities, the friendly and knowledgeable guards—er, trainers, and the great care everyone takes to keep the place safe and sanitary.

Awesome PT gym with loads of trainers to choose from. I've worked with both Annie and Erica and they're both fantastic. I love not having to really think about creating a workout plan but knowing they're helping me reach the specific goals I'm setting out for this year. Once you sign up you also get classes included with the price which makes the pricetag even more reasonable. Plus they give a 10% first responder discount! 😁

I've been working with Erica @ SVPT for almost 2 years now. She has been fantastic at motivating me to work on multiple areas that I've either injured or misused from years of soccer. The atmosphere of the gym is really friendly and welcoming, and I never feel judged by anyone there. It's really awesome to work out in a place where you can see young athletes to boxers/weight lifters to average people like myself just trying to be healthy. Would highly recommend!

This is a wonderful place for anyone looking to live a healthy lifestyle. It is welcoming to all shapes and sizes, all abilities. They work with you to build a strong foundation of skills before jumping right into any program. In a world where there is a lot of pressure to be perfectly fit, this is a great place where that pressure does not exist; they want you to be the best you that you can be, whatever that looks like, not what the world tells you it should look like.

I decided my mid-30's seemed to be a good time to join the military, but the prospect of basic training with men 15 years younger than me was daunting. Not only did Ethan design a training program that increased my endurance and load bearing capacity, but he helped me through injuries by modifying strength exercises to compliment my physio. Thanks to him I was able to easily keep pace with the boys and came out stronger than ever! Sorry for cursing at you half way through every workout Ethan, your good humour was also greatly appreciated :)

Coming to SVPT was the best thing I have ever done in my life for my physical well-being The training approaches Shara has set up, in combination with her excellent trainers has left me in the best shape in my life, which in the past included many training programs and gym memberships. The functional training, focusing on the core, and whole-body… involvement has left me better able to compete at my favorite sport (orienteering), but also, as i approach retirement, able to (touch wood) enjoy decades more of healthy, independent life. Thanks SVPT!

When I visited SVPT for a group session run by business owner, Shara, I had a great time in this facility that is really well maintained. I liked the fact that there are great lockers and that she provides one-on one circuit training sessions, but can also offer this benefit as a group trial class too! Our group was able to do our circuit three times and have a full warm up and cool down. It was great as we were each able to challenge ourselves to do this workout to the extent that we needed to, and Shara gave us move modifications to deal with injuries and physical limitations.

I was very sore from the day before and was having one of those blah days with no energy. So when I was coming for a group session i was nervous but ended up loving it! We had the privilege of the owner Shara running our class. It was an interval training style with about 13 stations to go through 3 times. She did a thorough warm up/stretch as a group on the turf while watching us and doing body assessment. She went over each station and showed modifications for those with injuries. There was box jumps, push ups, bosu ball plank twists, ropes, kettlebell carries, t-rex pull ups, sled pushes and

I took a class at SVPT Fitness & Athletics, our trainer and owner of this business is Shara. She is very fit and knew how to motivate us.
We had the opportunity to do the circuit 3 times, the first time you kind of know what to do but the second and third were great as you can even modify the workout to do more or less exercise depending of your level. I tried a machine that I have never seen before, its called Vertical Climber and you can feel how your muscles are moving.
The layout of the gym is good, everyone can feel conformable as there is enough space for a group workout. I'll be

I went to SVPT for the first time.
It was run by Shara, who is the business owner. We started with a warm up session to prepare our muscles for the work out. Then we had a circuit with more than 10 stations that we were able to do three times. It was a very complete work out as we worked different muscles at each station.
I was a little sore the next day, but that type of soreness that I enjoy due to the exercise. No pain no gain ;)
This place is located at an industrial area, so maybe not the best location if you use public transportation but they have ample parking if you are diving.

I came for a group trial class last month and loved it!
If I lived southside I would be looking at drop in passes or membership here no doubt!
The owner, Shara, taught us a group class and I loved it! She asked us about any injuries and took the time to come around and check in with us during our circuits for any modifications required.
You'd be surprised how 30 second stations can kick challenge you yet leave you with enough energy to keep going.
The warm up with the bands around our ankels, knees, and thighs was super challenging but also somehow stabilizing and didn't both my knees

If you are here for the gear you are in the right place! Don't let the industrial neighborhood fool you it is just behind their doors that an absolutely awesome fitness program starts! They have built this facility into their shop perfectly and the instructor is intense which makes for the cross fit experience one searches for.
The equipment is so new and perfectly maintained for an overall workout that makes that hygiene question not even worth think about.
If you live near by give it a try !!

Never knew this place existed. Odd area but easy to find with ample parking available. Beautiful and clean space. The circuit training was intense but fun. Washroom has towels and emergency items. Nice spacious washroom stalls. They have a sauna room. The green turf makes it look cool. I'm feeling sore but can see this being a great work out. Thanks Shara for motivating us!

This was the last event for the #YelpFitClubYEG, and it ended on a high note!
In my opinion I think this was the best one! It's a gym that is 1/2 covered by astro Turf and has machines that I have never seen before. It's based on having your own personal trainer for motivation and guidance.
The gym is designed for out of shape people like myself all the way to professional athletes. You train side by side, the only thing you need is determination and a work ethic, and not be afraid to sweat a lot. Definelty will go back!

I started with SVPT in January 2014. I've been a competitive dancer all my life (I'm 23) and was looking for a serious push while between dance companies.
FIND THEM: I found SVPT online via google. What intrigued me was the fact that it's a private facility. The only people training are clients with their coaches at their scheduled times or, less often, up to 8 people in a pre-registered small group class. It's not a public free-for-all (read: no guys hanging around just to check out girls, no girls hogging the mirrors to take selfies) which I found refreshing and appealing

I've been going there for a few months now. When I first started I was totally out of shape and been going for a while I've gotten better and I'm currently out lifting or at the same lifting weight as some of the fighters that go to Svpt. I've also held some of the records like pushing a sled and many others.
The gym is a good size to work out at. There's a few people that are training at the same time. So you don't feel that "embarrassed" feeling like you do at other gym's lol. The staff is friendly and the personal training is AWSOME!! I'm currently
