Aerial Arts
Where to try it: CircoFit, Edmonton
This circus-inspired workout gets you off the ground and in the air. It incorporates elements of dance and gymnastics, and will help improve your strength and flexibility as you learn to work with straps, ropes and aerial silks. circofit.ca
Bouldering
Where to try it: Bolder Climbing Community, Calgary
Bouldering is similar to rock climbing, except there are no harnesses, no ropes and the walls aren’t as high. The goal is to complete a set route, not just get to the top of the wall. Bolder is Calgary’s only bouldering-specific gym. bolderclimbing.com
Bungee Workout
Where to try it: Bungee Workout Canada, Calgary
This full-body resistance-training workout first came to Calgary last fall. It’s similar to a dance class, except attendees are in a harness attached to a bungee cord, allowing for some gravity-defying moves. 403-399-8236
Obstacle Course Racing
Where to try it: InjaNation, Calgary
Start training for a Reebok Spartan Race at this OCR-inspired facility. In addition to six training areas that have obstacles commonly found in OCR races (like monkey bars and balance beams) there is a trampoline park and multiple climbing walls. injanation.com
Rock Climbing
Where to try it: Vertically Inclined Rock Gym, Edmonton
While wearing a harness and remaining safely connected to a qualified belayer on the ground, climbers can test (and build) their strength and endurance by trying to get to the top of a 25-foot-tall wall. verticallyinclined.com
Trampolining
Where to try it: LaunchPad Trampoline Park, Edmonton
Work every muscle group while jumping on a network of trampolines — and into the largest foam pit in Alberta. For something more formal, attend one of the 60-minute workout classes hosted in collaboration with 504 Fitness. launchpadtrampoline.com
