Fantastic experience: My family has been part of the Barracks fitness community for years. Even our kiddos! Their workouts, coaches, and philosophy—that fitness should be fun and for everyone—make this place the best. The workouts are truly for everyone, with many scaled options. I appreciate the workout-specific warm-ups that help with mobility and injury prevention. But what really makes this place shine are the awesome friends who work out together.

The layout is fantastic and they offer a huge variety of equipment and weights. The coaches are experienced and knowledgeable with instructing classes at a group or individual level.

For those who are curious about CrossFit and may feel intimidated, don’t be! This is a great place to join and the owners, Christi and Eric, have built it to welcome all!

Fantastic experience: I did trials at a few CrossFit gyms before landing at Barracks. The energy, the set up, and the programming are exceptional but really what had me hooked is the people (coaches - owners- and fellow exercise enthusiasts). There’s something for everyone at every fitness level. If you’re just starting out you have people around you that are so willing to make you feel proud of giving it your best and provide tips - to the top level elite that will light that competitive fire. We even hang out outside the gym because everyone is so awesome

Fantastic experience: This is the most amazing gym community. It’s so much easier to get motivated when it’s fun and you are surrounded with friendly people. I especially enjoy trying to beat my buddies in the workouts — the competition helps push me harder than I would on my own. The coaches are always offering helpful insights to make me a little better.

Fantastic experience: Incredible gym and incredible people. An awesome place to come in and get the work done! Whether you’re looking to push yourself physically/mentally or just get your HR up this is the place to be!

Fantastic experience: Amazing workouts and community - very friendly and welcoming. Am glad to have found Barracks and the team!

All the coaches are super welcoming and are happy you made it to class. The community of members is always there to encourage, support and help. The programming for the classes ensures you are continuously challenged no matter where you are in your fitness journey. The focus on mobility and technique helps ensures everyone is safely going through the movements. Join Barracks Fitness, come to classes, try your best and you’ll be rewarded

Fantastic experience: I had always been interested in CrossFit, but was nervous to try. The foundations classes were INCREDIBLE and made me feel so much less intimidated to participate in class. Every single coach has been so helpful, patient and kind; and all of the other people in class have been super welcoming. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone who is interested in a really fun, but very very tough workout!

Fantastic experience: Attentive friendly coaches. Great classmates. Oh so solid programming. Really happy to have been here for 3 months now and keeping at it. I don’t have much of either, but the time and money I consider well spent.

Fantastic experience: The atmosphere at Barracks is great; the coaches help you find the right level for your workout while still growing, there are members of all ages and abilities making it easy to fit in and feel comfortable, and at the end of the workout there are fist bumps and “good work” all around. Come give it a try!

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough good things about this gym! I initially chose this gym for its childcare two years ago, but quickly realized just how special it is. The community is unmatched, the coaches are educated and supportive, and the owners are incredible. So grateful for this place!

Fantastic experience: This is the place. Come for the excellent programming, stay for the community!

Fantastic experience: The best CrossFit gym in calgary, the programming is top notch, the coaching staff are excellent, the atmosphere can’t help but put a smile on your even on your worst days, but above the the community that Christi and Eric have created is something you can’t find elsewhere! Starting anything new can be so intimidating but at the barracks you will feel at home right away!

Fantastic experience: Before starting CrossFit at Barracks 1.5 years ago, I was nervous and intimidated by the sport - Barracks quickly relieved all of my stress and I have since learned so much about myself and my abilities since my first class here. The owners and coaches are incredible people and I have never been part of a more amazing community. Barracks is the perfect box for people of all abilities! Come try it out :)

Fantastic experience: After moving back to Calgary, I was looking to establish a different kind of fitness regime. I’m glad I picked Barracks because it has made working out so much more enjoyable than doing a regular bro-split day in and day out. The coaches are encouraging and enthusiastic! I thought I was pretty fit until I came here, nonetheless I get guidance whenever I need it. The community they’ve established is extremely welcoming to all. If you want to get healthier I can’t recommend this place enough. I quickly fell into the stereotype of telling everyone I know about CrossFit because it truly is an awesome experience.

Fantastic experience: These guys are fabulous! Great classes, great coaching, great times. I’m on the road between Red Deer and Calgary and Barracks Fitness has become my gym away from home. A fun, welcoming, challenging community. And for that I am very grateful! Keep up the good work. Recommend all day every day.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic staff and even better member! Super welcoming community for all fitness levels!

Fantastic experience: You could not ask for a better gym, better coaching, better programming, a better team or a better group of participants! If you want to feel welcome and comfortable someplace, this is the place to be! Barracks Fitness for the WIN!

Fantastic experience: If you are looking to get back in shape, Barracks Fitness should be your choice. It is really for all levels of fitness. You don’t even need any experience. You will be taught the right way to do the movements and to your lifting capabilities. Go check them out. It will be worth it.

Fantastic experience: Great coaches, fun workouts, cute dogs, friendly people and positive vibes whether you’re brand new or have been there forever!!!

Fantastic experience: Great facility, and atmosphere. Really enjoy the programming and people.

Fantastic experience: Very friendly coaches and great community. Great place to workout

Fantastic experience: Walked in the door looking to improve my fitness from my regular running, biking, and strength routine. Never thought I would enjoy something so much to the point I feel like a kid again at the age of 50. Continually motivated by hitting new accomplishments on a regular basis. Love this place and love being surrounded by the good people it attracts. Best part of every day. :)

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member for over 10 years. The owners, Eric & Christi Barber are the best! Excellent coaching and programming for all levels of fitness. Amazing community of members.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been member on and off since 2020. I’ve been to many Crossfit gyms as I moved a lot last few years but Barracks is the place I always go back to, hence I live super close now. Amazing coaching, programming, members, dogs, facilities, etc. The best Crossfit gym I’ve been, and the members are super friendly and supportive. Love these people

Fantastic experience: Since joining Barracks Fitness in September 2023, my fitness journey has been nothing short of exhilarating! The gym offers a dynamic blend of fitness programming that includes not only challenging workouts but also thrilling gymnastics training. Eric and the staff go above and beyond, providing personalized attention and fostering a vibrant community spirit. From Olympic lifting to personalized courses, nutrition planning, and exciting member events, this gym is a fitness enthusiast's dream come true. Barracks Fitness has truly transformed my approach to health and wellness in the most exciting and enjoyable way possible!

Fantastic experience: I have been attending Barracks Fitness for 5 years. I have attended an average of 3 classes per week over that time. This is the first fitness commitment I’ve stuck to in 30 years of trying various other fitness starts and stops. The coaching is excellent, the programming is top notch, I show up, do what I’m told and day by day, month by month, year by year I continue to get great results and improve. I believe the instruction we receive promotes safety, technical competence and mastery of technique above all else. Beyond this, the community of members is incredibly supportive, welcoming and motivating regardless of age, skill or fitness level. All in all, joining Barracks Fitness is one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself. I feel better at 50+ than I did at 35.

Fantastic experience: This gym has an amazing sense of community, the best coaching I’ve ever received at a CrossFit gym, and consistently runs both fun competitions, as well as highly competitive events that are recognized nationwide. I would highly recommend it to both those who are already avid crossfitters, and to anyone who is new or even remotely interested in the sport. I can’t imagine a better place to work out, a better community, or better owners. If you live in Calgary Barracks Fitness is THE place to come work out.

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: So here’s the thing...this place is awesome sauce. I’ve been an avid gym goer/ avid runner for just over a decade and had a lot of people (siblings, colleagues, friends) tell me about crossfit a LONG time ago, and I knew about barracks for about 3 + years prior to joining. I was nervous, intimidated, and scared to go because cross fitters are so strong and they do movements that seem too complicated for the average person. But I joined barracks almost three years ago just after the first lockdown and I have not looked back. I have built more muscle since joining and learned more new skills than I ever thought I could. SO if you’re scared but curious take the leap with Eric and Christi and their awesome team, and I promise you won’t regret it for the following reasons: GOOD vibes, smiling faces, every range of athlete is seen here, and SCALE for life, and programming is . So yeah I really like this place ❤️

Fantastic experience: A fantastic fitness crew! So welcoming to new comers and happy to show you the ropes. Fitness has never been so fun and challenging.

Fantastic experience: Coaches and members make everyone feel welcome, safe and always helping us keep fresh and learning something new...old dogs can learn new tricks!

Fantastic experience: An amazing gym with incredible owners, coaches, programming, and community. I also am so grateful that this gym is dog and kid friendly. When we left Winnipeg I was nervous about finding a gym we loved as much as the one we had, well, mission accomplished. 10/10 would recommend.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been in a lot of CrossFit gyms over the years, in a lot of places, and Barracks Fitness has been the best so far: qualified, attentive coaches, flexible times, great facilities, and a welcoming community. Have fun, get fit, do it at Barracks Fitness.

Fantastic experience: Being new to Calgary, my husband and I were looking for a new gym to work out at, but with Barracks we ended up finding so much more than that. Not only is it a place to exercise, but it is also a community of awesome, likeminded and fun individuals. The coaching and programming is top notch. I’ve progressed in all of my skill and lifts since starting here. I also love all of the fun events and friendly competitions that they hold. At the end of December I sprained my ankle and I have still been able to come in and work out with appropriate modifications thanks to their highly knowledgeable coaches. It really is a gym for all levels and abilities. Highly recommend that you check them out, you won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: This is the gym I spent a long time looking for. The community/vibe is excellent, coaches are great, and I've had consistent progress as a result of the outstanding programming. Strongly recommend for everyone and anyone.

Fantastic experience: Excellent CrossFit community. Fitness for all levels. Everyone feels welcome and gets a great workout every time

Fantastic experience: Great CrossFit gym with fantastic coaches and an amazing community of members. Everyone is very supportive and encouraging. Highly recommend CrossFit Currie Barracks for anyone wanting to improve their fitness with a great group of people.

Fantastic experience: A great gym with great coaches and amazing community of people. They offer lots of class times to accommodate schedules. In each class there are options of movements for your skill levels.

Fantastic experience: This gym was recommended to me from when I did a month challenge at Crossfit 403. Location is ideal, less than 10 mins away. All the coaches I’ve met so far are very knowledgeable, helpful and challenge you. If you have no idea what you’re doing, I can guarantee someone beside you will be more than happy to guide you. Experienced or not, you should give it a try!

Fantastic experience: Great gym, excellent coaches and amazing community! Been a member since 2021 and one of the best decisions I’ve made.

Fantastic experience: Amazing CrossFit gym. The Coaches are very knowledgeable and welcoming. Great facility and manage class size, structure and culture really well. I joined this year after moving and was welcomed in right away. Easy to get to, lots of class options and gym members of all backgrounds and skill levels. Happy to be able to be a member.

Fantastic experience: I've been working out for Barracks for over 2 years. Great place with a great atmosphere. The gym is clean, the staff are amazing and the coaches are very knowledgeable. Whether you're starting fresh or you're an experienced CrossFitter, I highly recommend Barracks if you're looking to improve your fitness while having all the fun.

Fantastic experience: Great gym!

Fantastic experience: Been coming here almost 7 years now. Great gym for anyone (at any stage of fitness) trying to maximize their bodily capabilities. The coaches and owners are fantastic humans. Community is top notch. Something for everyone here, young + old, experienced or newbie. Easily the best CF box in Calgary.

Fantastic experience: Just started working out here within the month with my daughter. It's like getting a present every day, you never know what the workout will be and everyone is super helpful. We are already seeing major gains in our strength and cardio. Teens can get their classes in a few times during the week and adults work out in a different room, so we can both get our workout in at the same time.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym, everyone is super friendly and workouts are well designed.

Fantastic experience: This is an incredible gym. The workouts are fantastic, the people are great, and the coaching is spectacular. I joined this gym with no experience and I immediately felt welcomed by everyone and my fitness has improved rapidly. I always look forward to going and would recommend this gym to anyone!

Fantastic experience: We have been members for 4 years now - Christi and Eric foster a strong sense of Community coupled with great programming and coaching! They have maintained a safe, diligent and supportive environment during Covid19. Recommend Barracks Fitness to all levels of fitness racers and casual gym-goers

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: 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. If your looking for a CrossFit gym that will help you reach your fitness goals, and also looking to create some friendships, then Barracks is the place for you. I have always felt so supported here and would recommend this gym to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Having done crossfit on travels wherever I go this is the box where I have most enjoyed the coaching and programing. A community like no other!

Fantastic experience: 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 sane). If you are in the market for a new gym do not hesitate to try it out!

Fantastic experience: 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!

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough good things about this gym. Wonderful community and awesome coaches who are welcoming, knowledgeable and encouraging. Whatever your fitness goals are, Barracks Fitness can help you achieve them. And they have amazing kids and teens fitness programs as well!

Fantastic experience: Best hour of the day! Coaches are amazing, members are friendly, workouts are tough but that’s why we come. Even during this pandemic, online classes are offered, equipment is lent out, everything and anything you need to stay fit is available. Love this place!

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: 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!

Fantastic experience: This is a great CrossFit gym, with supportive and knowledgeable coaches, and inclusive for people with any level of fitness.

Fantastic experience: Great Crossfit community with excellent coaches.

Fantastic experience: Best functional fitness box in town! I've been to multiple boxes in town and Currie Barracks is one of the cleanest, safeest I've been to. The coaches accomediate all fitness levels and will help you achieve your goals. During COVID the coaches set each member with marked " personal space" with all the equipment set up and cleaned and class times are spaced out to reduce traffic. Definitely worth the investment.

Fantastic experience: Great CrossFit gym. The coaches are all super knowledgeable, friendly and eager to help you improve as an individual. The other crossfitters are encouraging and fun to workout with. Hi highly recommend trying out CFCB if you are looking to hit some new fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough about this gym. I was hesitant to join Crossfit from misconceptions I'd heard in the past, but I was encouraged by the team at CrossFit CB that everything can be scaled into an incredible workout. The coaches are incredibly attentive, the workouts are challenging but not impossible, and most of all, it's a fun experience and great workout each time I go. Not having to plan my own workouts is priceless. I started when I was 2 months post partum, and the coaches were attentive to helping me change and scale movements to suit my unique needs. I'm now 5 months pregnant and the coaches watch my movements carefully and help me adjust the workouts as needed. This is a friendly gym which welcomes people of all shapes, sizes, and skill levels and I couldn't recommend it more highly.

Fantastic experience: You feel welcomed as soon as you enter the door! Great vibe with a great community. Programming is awesome!

Fantastic experience: Excellent place to drop in for a good balanced workout. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: I procrastinated joining this gym for 3 years, and definitely regret not joining sooner. You won't find a better group of coaches and great people to work out with and have fun with. I joined this gym to get back in shape after a couple years of sedentary living, and have been seeing constant improvements in my strength and cardio. The workouts have also helped remedy my nagging back and knee issues that I have had for the past 4 years, which is amazing! I would highly recommend this gym to anyone who is looking to learn something new, get into/back in shape, or just to meet some awesome people.

Fantastic experience: Great members and coaches & Eric and Christi treat everyone well & care!! Good for drop-ins and long term membership!!

Fantastic experience: I did a drop in, they were super responsive. Out in middle of no where (as most crossfit gyms are) but when you walked in there was such a great atmosphere. Day before Thanksgiving and tons of people there having fun and in high spirits. Super fun and welcoming crew to me. Coach Fitz was great, good personality and made the class fun. I would recommend to anyone!
