VO2max Health and Performance

Expérience fantastique: Great people, class and equipment. If I’m ever in Grand Prairie again I’ll be dropping in.

Expérience fantastique: I always said " I wouldn't go here, it's not my vibe, I wouldn't fit in.. made every excuse in the book really . Then I seen people's results ...and I became more and more interested so I went and am so happy I did! It is such a warm welcoming gym. Everyone is so knowledgeable and helpful and the programs they have to offer to everyone and anyone are absolutely incredible! And the results I have seen in myself in just under two months I couldn't be more happier and healthier

Expérience fantastique: V02 Max CrossFit has been a life-changing experience! Huge shoutout to Coach Ryan and Caitlyn, they always have our best interests at heart and push us to be our best. Amazing community and energy!

Expérience fantastique: VO2 Max has been a huge and organic part of Grande Prairie's health and fitness scene for decades now. Years ago, when someone I recommended needed a 3rd party fitness assessment in order to satisfy a legal requirement, they promptly did an excellent job. And as the young man was fatherless and being raised by his grandmother, they did it at no charge. That's the kind of caring owners they are. Very professional and highly recommended for a strong base in fitness. As owner of another gym in the same city, I say this without any obvious bias.

Expérience fantastique: Ernie and Janine are both excellent trainers and good people that help you achieve your goals, with hard work and nutrition.

Expérience fantastique: Excellent location, with great equipment. Friendly staff with very knowledgeable trainers. Highly recommend.

Expérience fantastique: What a great place, staff and owners are great community minded people.

Expérience fantastique: A few months ago, I was prescribed a medication that changed my life. However, the medication comes with a high risk of osteoporosis. To mitigate this risk, the specialist recommended I start resistance training immediately. That's how I ended up at V02max, although I'm a chubby, unathletic 41-year-old woman. Honestly, I don't think I will ever be a fan of working out. However, the community at V02max makes my three visits a week tolerable and, sometimes, even enjoyable. Walking into the gym, you'll be amazed to see how many women of all ages attend. You'll also notice that every staff member, including the trainers, is approachable and friendly. While the gym has some impressive CrossFit athletes, the sport is not its focus. So, if you have hesitated to join V02max because Crossfit is not your thing, get that idea out of your head. If you're new to the gym like I was, don't worry; V02max is a safe space. I recommend booking a few sessions with one of the trainers, who can teach you how to use the equipment safely, help you set goals, and provide realistic guidance on achieving them.

Expérience fantastique: I wanted to come and write a review even though I haven't been back since Covid lockdowns. ( bought home equipment) I wanted to give a shout out to staff and owners for being helpful, motivational and friendly. They would always answer questions or come over and correct you if you were doing something improperly. Even if they aren't your trainer they always made time to help. The gym has alot of space with up to date equipment and lots of it. Even though it's been a couple years and I wasn't very social while I was there, the staff and owners still wave and say "hi" if they see me around town. I think that says a lot about a staff and ownership group. Most gyms owners don't recognize their clients. That being said I saw a couple reviews about inclusiveness and racism. In my experience there I never noticed any such thing. There was a multitude of ethnicities and everyone seemed to be treated equal. ✌️

Expérience négative: Sadly there are many racist members in this gym. Not a place for people of color. Steer Clear, save your dignity!!! I was in this gym for 1 month, I was: 1)rudely asked by a one of the members here to not use the equipment. MULTIPLE TIMES! I even mentioned this to one of the coaches but he did nothing. He proceeded to say that I was overreacting and that it was “in my head”. Gaslighting! 2)everyone was giving me weird looks and making me feel out of place. People are not very friendly or accommodating here. 3)I was asked to “speak English”, probably because of my accent.

Expérience positive: Good spot. Never had issues.

Expérience fantastique: I have been going to VO2 for ten years. Every time I walk in I feel at home. From the owners to the trainers and administrative staff, everyone is professional and welcoming. The clientele are a cut above the rest. Anyone can walk up to another and have a full 30min conversation. Even if you don't know the person. A quick introduction and you've basically made a new friend. Everyone is there for the same purpose, to improve in some capacity of their life, so it is an extremely motivating place. If you are away from the gym for a while and haven't been seen, people take notice. VO2 goes out of their way to make you feel apart of the family, but they do so without it feeling fake. It is a genuine passion for health and community that the owners and trainers have exemplified and it shows through in their clientele. I have been to many gyms and nothing compares to the level of cleanliness VO2 has. They clean the entire facility three times a day, at a minimum.

Expérience fantastique: I have been lifting weights for many years. I have worked out in gyms all over Canada. But there is no gym that compares to vo2 max. From day one I was welcomed with open arms and treated as an equal. As somone with my ethnic background this is something that is not to common in todays world. The staff are incredible, the coaches are the definition of professional. The community has help push me to become the best version of my self. The facility it’s self is very clean and organized with a open floor plan that has very well thought out. I highly recommend this facility to anyone and everyone!

Expérience fantastique: What a great place!!!! If you haven’t been make time for a visit.

Expérience négative: Unfortunately I have to say that this gym seems to be filled with a lot of RACIST/PREJUDICED members. I could not believe it when I've overheard some of the Caucasian regulars here so casually using the N-word or calling brown people p-ki. Great equipment but I DO NOT recommend this place, it's not a good place to be if you are not white. And it's no wonder that there are barely any minorities/poc's in this gym.

Expérience fantastique: Dropped in here while in town on business. Loved the programming

Expérience fantastique: Very professional business, great equipment 5 star customer service ,because they care about everyone who comes to train.

Expérience fantastique: I went to Vo2Max for approximately 5 years. I always enjoyed going. It is much easier to push yourself in a fun environment. Vo2 max is one of the most diverse gyms for the the classes they offer and I believe there is something for everyone there. Prices are good. Any fitness facility that does classes is going to have a larger overhead and cost more. However, the coaching you receive is well worth the price. To get the same quality of coaching I received on Olympic lifting would probably cost me at least 3 times as much going anywhere else. Although I no longer live in Grande Prairie, I still occasionally look at their website for workout ideas. I would highly recommend this gym.

Expérience fantastique: Hands down the best gym in town. The people are truly what make this place amazing, it’s such a positive community and culture.

Expérience fantastique: I don't know who did the remodel of the front of building but daaaaaaaamn is it sweet!

Expérience positive: VO2Max has an excellent community and lots of times available for classes. The building space is well used. It is very crowded in the evenings and I much prefer the morning classes on the weekend because there is less people. Parking is hard to find in the evenings.

Expérience fantastique: Worth ever single cent!!! All you have to do is walk through the door and you will have the best workout every time!! Can't recommend this gym enough, great environment, awesome trainers, and staff.

Expérience fantastique: All the staff is so kind and knowledgeable. Such a friendly atmosphere everyone at Vo2 is making a concerted effort to improve your level of fitness. Best thing I've ever done for myself. Personal Training, Bootcamps, Crossfit, Yoga, Massage Therapy and Acupuncture what more can you ask for.

Expérience fantastique: Super friendly and knowledgeable coaches, incredible facility. Programming is excellent. Just spent 3 days here visiting and had an amazing experience with these guys. Great all around attention to detail at the gym, complete with spin and yoga classes. Brett’s coaching second to none. Thanks guys!

Expérience fantastique: Great place to work out! Awesome trainers.

Expérience fantastique: Awesome gym I did hot yoga also top notch class

Expérience fantastique: Love the trainers here, especially Ron and Mike. These guys are fantastic and know what they're doing.

Expérience positive: Friendly staff and tough workouts

Expérience fantastique: Fantastic gym, that one star obviously has an irrelevant opinion.

Expérience fantastique: Janine and her crew are freaking rockstars! To take a huge place like VO2 and make it into a family that's never judgemental and always welcoming would have been hard, but they nailed it!

Expérience fantastique: I've been lifting weights for 10 years and never really felt apart of in any of the gyms I entered. V02 is legit the real deal. All the trainers are very knowledgable and easy to work with. The owners are fantastic and great trainers also. Front desk staff and childminding staff all amazing. We are super excited to have made the decision to become members.

Expérience fantastique: Incredible gym with incredible coaches! They have everything from yoga and endurance training to the lifting the heaviest weight.

Expérience négative: This is a terrible business to have as a neighbor with noise from car alarms and loud trucks starting at 5am. Then noise from weights smashing on cement floors, coaches yelling, screeching crawlers pushed across the parking lot and the echo of pounding on the tractor tire with a huge hammer. OMG All this noise & loud music all summer long til 9 or 10pm. 7 days a week! I don't know how they got their business license to operate near residential! It would be so nice if they were a more considerate neighbor so we could have some peace and quiet

Expérience fantastique: Great gym love doing yoga there alway feel great when I leave . Love owner and staff

Expérience fantastique: The Fitbit Custom programming is great when your work schedule doesn't match with the daily class schedule. I have definitely made good progress since starting 3 years ago.

Expérience fantastique: Couldn't ask for a better gym!! Hands down best gym in Grande prairie and great staff.

Expérience fantastique: Hands down the best gym I have ever been to. I have learned more about working out here than I have anywhere. I used to get injured alot, after 1 year of going to the gym here, I stopped getting injured. They fixed alot of my weaknesses than sometimes you skip going to a conventional gym. My squat was messed up, Ron fixed that in the first month I was there. You learn gymnastics, how to control your body, what you can do with your body and how to push past your limits. Crossfit gets a bad reputation from other gyms because the trainers are crap. In this gym, the trainers will spot your bad movements or cues and are immediately there to tweak your body position, they aren't just some dudes who sit there and watch you workout while controlling a clock, they are actual trainers who fix your form, and prevent injury. The people there are the best part of the gym, not just the trainers but the members as well. Best place to make friends who are trying to become better versions of themselves. 5/5. I would recommend and man, woman or child to join. Best experience I have ever had with a gym

Expérience fantastique: Great facility and great trainers!
