Summer-Specific Fitness Classes

Why settle for just a regular Calgary gym membership when you can become part of a dynamic fitness club that offers a plethora of luxury classes as well?

At Edgemont Athletic, your summer fitness routine will be more diverse than ever. Check out our fitness classes that are extra in demand around summertime:

Hot Yoga in Calgary  

We know what you’re thinking: “Hot” yoga amidst the already hot weather?

Well, here’s why it’s actually a super smart summer hack: Hot yoga helps your body acclimate to the summer heat. Over time, it can help you become less sensitive to the heat outside. Plus, it also aids in helping you become less affected by temperature fluctuations. 

No wonder it’s the go-to summer class for yogis across the globe. 

Since you’ll be sweating more than usual, keep in mind that it’s essential to stay hydrated and increase your usual H20 intake. 

What to expect: Edgemont Athletic is the hot spot for hot yoga in Calgary—and we’re here to ignite your yoga journey to a whole new level. This class is carried in a heated room of 40 degrees—and participants can look forward to incredible benefits like detoxification and improved joint mobility & flexibility through deeper stretching.

Hot yoga classes are kickstarted by awakening your body. You’ll be practicing a series of yoga poses that synchronize breath with movement. After that, the focus will be on long-held poses that target your deep connective tissues, such as the ligaments, joints, bones, and deep fascia networks.

The benefits of heat during yoga classes: The increased room temperature aids in warming up the muscles & tissues and improves blood circulation.

How we bring the heat: Studio 40 uses innovative Infrared technology to warm up the body rather than the ambient temperature.

Indoor Tennis Court

But what if the summer heat isn’t quite your cup of tea? Some people prefer to take their summer workouts indoors instead. And if you hear the game of tennis calling your name this season, you can comfortably answer that call right here at our indoor tennis court. You won’t ever have to worry about those blinding sun glares distracting you from scoring that winning point. 

With diverse programs for all skill levels that improve technical, physical, and tactical tennis skills, this exciting sport might just be what you need to experience a smash-hit summer. 

Edgemont Athletic offers the following programs:

• Group Instruction Programs
• Cardio Tennis Programs
• Private or Semi-Private Lessons

Summer’s also the perfect time for the kids to explore new sports—and that’s why our Junior Summer Racquet Camps take centre stage in July.

At Edgemont Athletic, our programs provide a high-energy, quality, learning environment for juniors tennis players.

Whether your child simply wants to learn the basics or has goals of turning tennis into their primary sport, you’ll find a program that’s perfect for them at our club.  

Outdoor Training Areas

Summer is the perfect excuse to spend most of your time in the great outdoors.

Here at Edgemont Athletic, we’re all about celebrating fun in the sun—in the most luxurious way possible, of course. Our pool deck features chaise loungers and cabana furniture where you can recline and unwind, or grab a snack from Selia Bar.

Don’t just settle for any fitness club with a pool—dive into luxury at Edgemont Athletic. 

The Benefits of Pool Workouts Amidst the Summer Heat

Cooling Exercise

When the heat becomes too much to handle, that calls for a cooling exercise to bring the temperatures down. A pool offers a refreshing environment to work out without overheating, as the water naturally cools the body.

Full Body Workout

We all have lazy summer days where we want to simplify our workout routines. 

Thanks goodness swimming exists—it’s the minimalist method to achieve a full body workout. 

That’s because this sport engages almost every major muscle group, including your arms, legs, torso, and stomach. It’s a convenient (and super fun!) option for those who don’t have the energy to mix a bunch of different workouts in one day.

Nutrition Tips for Summer Fitness 

Fitness isn’t all about working out—what you treat your taste buds too matters just as much as you try to reach your goals. 

Staying on top of your nutritional needs is crucial, especially when your activity levels rise with the summer temperatures. Here are some nutrition tips to help you stay energized and hydrated during your summer fitness endeavors:

Stay Hydrated

• Water is key: Drink plenty of water throughout the day, not just during workouts.
• Electrolytes: During longer or more intense sessions, consider a sports drink with electrolytes to replenish lost minerals.

Eat Light and Often

• Small, frequent meals: Opt for smaller meals more frequently to maintain energy without feeling too full.
• Portable snacks: Carry healthy snacks like nuts, seeds, or fruit for on-the-go refueling.

Focus on Fresh Produce

• Seasonal fruits and vegetables: Take advantage of fresh, local produce for nutrients and hydration.
• Salads and smoothies: These can be nutrient-rich, hydrating meal options.

Choose Lean Proteins 

• Recovery foods: Include lean protein in your meals to help with muscle repair and recovery.
• Plant-based options: Explore plant-based proteins like beans, lentils, and tofu, which can be lighter on the stomach.

Whole Grains for Energy

• Complex carbohydrates: Whole grains like brown rice, quinoa, and whole-wheat pasta provide sustained energy.
• Timing: Consume complex carbs a few hours before exercising for enduring energy.

Don’t Forget Healthy Fats

• Essential fats: Include sources of healthy fats, such as avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil, for energy and satiety.

Moderate Alcohol and Caffeine

• Alcohol: Remember that it can dehydrate you and might affect your ability to recover post-workout.
• Caffeine: It can also contribute to dehydration, so balance your intake with plenty of water.

Time Your Meals

• Pre-workout: Have a light snack or meal 1-2 hours before activity for energy without discomfort.
• Post-workout: Eat a meal with both protein and carbs within two hours after a workout to aid recovery.
