World-class wellness in South Edmonton…
There’s always time to start making steps towards your health and fitness goals— and Edmonton’s newest world-class fitness centre is here to help.
MOVATI Athletic Windermere (17020 Hiller Rd.) is MOVATI’s first location outside of Ontario. The 70,000 square-foot space offers everything from cardio and weights to yoga and swimming, all to help Edmontonians improve their wellness.
On the ground floor, you’ll find the co-ed pool, which uses UV filtration to reduce chlorine usage while ensuring a safe and enjoyable swim. This is also where you’ll find one of MOVATI Windermere’s biggest features, its women’s-only gym space. This “gym within a gym” contains a separate change room, pool, fitness centre, and studio spaces, accessible right from the main entrance. Security doors with a buzzer to the front desk ensure safety and comfort at all times.
Ever dream of being able to fly? In MOVATI’s Bungee Workout and Anti-Gravity Fitness classes, you’ll get the chance to do just that: doing jumps, flips, and tricks in midair while enjoying a full-body workout at the same time. These are just two of up to 150 classes running weekly, which also include yoga, barre, kickboxing, and plenty of other fun and unique offerings. It’s always a party in the cycling room, complete with multicoloured LED lighting, a disco ball, and plenty of feel-good workout jams. MOVATI’s cardio room features top-of-the-line treadmills (including rubber-tread treadmills that reduce pressure on the joints), ellipticals, stationary bikes, and more!
Day rates are available for drop-ins if you want to test out the neat offerings! If you’re willing to commit to longer, every MOVATI membership includes a “game plan” session where a personal trainer will work with you to establish your fitness goals. Continued personal training, either one-on-one or in a small group, is also available for an extra fee. MOVATI also offers child care while you work out; the Children’s Playroom contains everything from crafts to an indoor playground, all with supervision from trained staff.
And to complete any workout, grab a protein shake or energizing smoothie from the café, made with an in-house protein blend. The café is open to the public, so anyone can enjoy a nutritious snack on the go—no sweat required.
With its extensive amenities, luxe atmosphere, and friendly community, Movati promises to make getting fit more fun than ever.
