We’re Building Something Epic - See FitHub YYC Take Shape!
FitHub YYC’s Journey from Concept to Reality
Progress Check-In: The Vision is Taking Shape (Yes, We’re Getting Close!)
We’ve got great momentum right now—our general contractor has us on track for substantial completion by late May, with the gym floor going down the week of May 5 and equipment deliveries right behind that.
If all continues smoothly (🤞), we’re currently targeting an early June soft opening for FitHub YYC. That timeline could shift depending on final inspections, touch-ups, and a few last-minute construction curveballs (because hey, transforming an old airplane hangar into Calgary’s most premium fitness facility isn’t exactly plug-and-play).
What we can say with confidence? Things are moving. Our team is working hard behind the scenes, and every update brings us one step closer to welcoming you through the doors.
Thanks for being on this journey with us—we’ll keep sharing updates as we go. You’re going to love what’s coming.
Behind the Build: What’s Happening Now
We’re deep in the transformation phase, and while most of the recent work might not be Insta-sexy (think: structural engineering, mechanical system installs, and inspections galore), it’s the foundation that’s going to make the magic possible.
Here’s what’s coming down the pipeline:
- May 5 – We get access to the main gym space. That means flooring crews move in, and the layout starts taking shape.
- Following Week – Our equipment deliveries roll in. We're talking sleds, racks, rigs, and all the gear that’s going to make you fall in love with leg day (or at least respect it).
- May 23 – Substantial completion is the goal. That unlocks access to the full facility—including the CrossFit space, recovery zone, coffee bar, and amenities.
We’re currently targeting early June for a soft opening. That timeline feels promising, but as with any big build, it could shift slightly depending on the finishing touches.
Thanks for sticking with us through the dusty days—every beam, bolt, and boring inspection is building toward something incredible. We’re not just opening a gym. We’re opening a fitness home.
Laying the Foundation: Big Changes Are Happening Behind the Scenes
Turning an 80-year-old airplane hangar into a top-tier fitness hub takes more than just vision - it takes precision, grit, and a lot of behind-the-scenes work. We’ve stripped the space down to its core, framed out the new layout, added fresh glass for a modern edge, and laid the foundation for what’s coming next.
The real transformation? It’s just around the corner. Big thanks to the crew working tirelessly to make this space stronger than ever. We’re getting closer every day—and you’re going to love what’s next.
Here’s What’s Coming Next to FitHub YYC:
- Strength & Conditioning, Elevated
- 12,000 sqft packed with Olympic lifting platforms, premium cardio machines, and functional rigs
- High-intensity functional fitness (i.e. CrossFit) at Barracks Fitness
- A dedicated 6,000 sqft gym with a separate entrance, built for CrossFit and all the other programs at Barracks Fitness that you know and love.
- Recovery & Performance Hub
- On-site nutrition coaching, physiotherapy, and wellness services to keep you performing your best.
- Coffee Bar & Social Space
- Fitness without coffee? We wouldn't do that to you... Enjoy a fresh brew and a chit-chat with your new PR buddies.
- Modern Amenities
- Private showers, digital lockers, and a seamless gym experience like it's 2025.
Why This Update Matters:
Every inch of this space is being built with intention—because quality takes time. The walls, glass, and framing? They’re setting the stage for what’s next: the equipment, amenities, and details that will make FitHub YYC stand out.
What's next? Get ready for paint, flooring, and everything that will bring this space to life. The hard part is almost done—what’s coming will be worth the wait.
