Great gym with a welcoming atmosphere! The gym is always clean and well-maintained, Definitely recommend checking it out!
I first discovered GO Performance last summer when I checked it out because I enjoy hitting a punching bag once in a while. They have a dedicated boxing room primarily used for martial arts classes, but members are also welcome to use it outside of class times. During my tour, I was told they offered month-to-month memberships. I originally planned to join only temporarily, until winter, since I don’t drive and it can be harder for me to get there during that season. But something happened, and I’m still a member. Something within me made me stay. GO Performance has become a second home for me. The staff and owner have shown genuine empathy and compassion, and the other members are incredibly friendly and helpful. Everyone does their own thing. It feels like a safe space, which is something I really value in a gym. Now, I can honestly see myself staying with them even if I move outside the immediate area. I also love that members can bring a friend twice a month through the buddy pass—it’s such a nice perk. Even better, there’s no pressure for your guest to sign up afterward, unlike many larger gyms. It has that close-knit, community-gym feeling without actually being small. If you’re looking for a welcoming, supportive place to work out, I definitely recommend checking out GO Performance. You may just find a second home there too.
Silverback kids martial arts has been such a wonderful experience for my three kids. The studio is fantastic, the teachers are wonderful, and my kids have learned self-confidence and discipline. I strongly recommend Silverback for anyone looking for an activity for their kid!
Our MMA sports club rented space at Go Performance Calgary for children’s training over a long period of time. The atmosphere was always warm and welcoming, and the facility was comfortable and well-suited for kids’ training. The location is also very convenient and easy to access. We had direct communication with the owner and were very happy with the professional, friendly, and supportive approach. Overall, we were very satisfied with the experience and would confidently recommend Go Performance Calgary.
Great training space in Marda Loop! The facility was comfortable and well-suited for our sessions. I trained in the CFC MMA classes and had a very positive experience. Thank you for providing such a great place for us to train!
Great gym for working out. My kids also attended martial arts training at Champion Fight Club and had a great experience. The gym is big, bright, and has plenty of air, which makes training very comfortable. Highly recommend!

An absolutely amazing place with a truly strong and caring team. During a very difficult time for us, the club owner, Doug, showed genuine compassion, respect, and kindness by giving us the opportunity to continue training. That kind of support stays with you for life. We trained at this club for over two years, and it became much more than just a gym — it felt like home and a real community. Huge thanks to the entire team for their professionalism, sincerity, and the warm, welcoming atmosphere. Wishing the club continued growth, success, and many victories ahead. We are truly grateful and will always be happy to support you in return.

Front desk is very unprofessional - mostly the new people ! Doug the owner is not helpful and takes his sweet time to get back to you about anything! Called multiple times, emailed, the front desk people have no answers and seem lost on what’s going on lol Not the best place or the best people Do better !
Trash gym. The machines cushions are all ripped and worn out leaving one side of the body more weight focused than the other. Everything is dirty and you have to sign out resistance bands to use them It’s gross and looks unprofessional. The reception is in no rush to do anything and wearing pyjama pants… I’ll take my money elsewhere
My experience with GoPerformance Fitness was very disappointing, mainly because of the reception and how the membership rules were handled. I signed up while I was under 18. According to their own contract, a parent or legal guardian must be present and authorize the agreement for minors. This did not happen, yet the membership was still activated. Later, when billing issues appeared, the staff completely ignored this rule instead of reviewing the validity of the contract. I stopped attending the gym, and instead of communicating clearly, they started adding extra charges and penalties. At one point, I was asked to pay more money for a month that had already been paid, with no clear explanation or contract clause supporting this amount. When I asked for clarification, the answers were inconsistent and unprofessional. The reception staff were unhelpful, dismissive, and showed very poor knowledge of their own membership terms. There was no effort to resolve the issue fairly — only pressure to pay increasing amounts. Overall, this felt misleading and unfair. I would strongly advise anyone, especially minors and parents to read the instructions carefully because it will get unfair in other issues. Based on my experience, this gym does not consistently follow its own membership rules.
