They are the masters in creating a friendly and inviting environment with an efficient workout regime that really works. I’ve gained strength and muscle and I couldn’t do it without their help! The gym had everything I needed, was very well kept and clean. Curtis and Dave went above and beyond to provide first class training services. After my training sessions, I had higher energy levels and confidence. I highly recommend Craven SPORT Services for your physiotherapy and personal training needs! Amy JamesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This has been a wonderful place to rehab after several injuries and a lengthy stay in hospital. All staff are very knowledgeable, welcoming, and always ready to assist. I am very pleased and satisfied with my progress and thank all staff at Craven Sport Services Training Center. Marilyn TschirhartTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am very happy with the GLAD-Canada program (for osteoarthritis), I'm so pleased with my results after 7 weeks of the 8 week program which I am enrolled in. I'm also very happy with the Covid-19 protocols that are in place for the protection of staff and clients. Updated May 17, 2022 I started with the GLA-D program which was very beneficial. As I had advanced beyond GLA-D, Jared suggested switching to the S&C program, which has also been a great benefit to my recovery. I also like the scheduling flexibility of the S&C program. fred farTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Awesome supportive environment and staff! Every single staff member I have come in contact with has been friendly and professional. Really noticing results from the osteoarthritis program... Jared is amazing and pays attention to all aspects as needed and keeps great communication with the training supervisors as to the individualized program and changes as needed. I would encourage anyone to connect with Craven as needed! Karen ChurchillTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is the best training/gym facility I have ever attended. The staff are friendly and professional. It is with their feedback and attention that I've been able to make more progress than I ever have before. The facilities are also very clean - and I haven't had any concerns about COVID.
