What makes this bootcamp different than others?
Our trainers are the best in Calgary and we get results! Just check out some of our success stories here and you’ll see what we mean. Also, our bootcamp classes are primarily held indoors. That means classes won't be cancelled due to weather and you’ll never have to worry about freezing or melting! Weather permitting, we may take classes outside but will always provide ample notice to all participants. Classes are held at both Fitness Plus locations; both of which are spacious with tons of equipment! You’ll get to experience a huge variety of activities including Jari Love’s critically acclaimed Get RIPPED! Workouts. We’ll keep you motivated with our high-energy music, diversity and supportive atmosphere.

Who can do Get RIPPED! Cardio GX?
Men and women of all ages and abilities!
What is Get RIPPED! Cardio GX?
It is a software program that allows participants to view their heart rate live throughout the entire workout by seeing it displayed on a screen. This allows them to know exactly which heart zone they are in and be able to monitor their intensity.
How does it work?
Each participant wears a special strap and transmitter during the workout. The transmitter that hooks into the strap ‘speaks’ to the computer which then displays the image of each participants’ heart rate information on the screen. The software is also able to email each participant the details of their workout at the end of each class.How is the information displayed on the screen?
The image on the screen will be a grid with each participant’s information in a box with their name.
What if you don’t want other people to know how hard you are working?
That’s ok! You don’t have to use your real name… you can pick any name you want so that when the images are displayed on the screen, only you will know which set of stats are yours.
What are the benefits of Get RIPPED! Cardio GX?
-Helps achieve individual training objectives
-Gives a better understanding of heart zone-based training
-Motivates with instant visual feedback
-Accurately tracks intensity levels
-Stores individual data and tracks progress
If I already have a heart zone monitor, do I get a discount?
If you have your own heart rate zone monitor, that is great! However, you will still need the special strap that the transmitter hooks onto regardless, therefor there is no discount for owning your own heart rate zone monitor. You may borrow the special GX strap for your GX workouts or you may purchase your own to keep for $19.99+GST. The GX straps can be used with all Get RIPPED! Cardio GX programs.
Where do the classes take place?
Classes take place at Fitness Plus North (1709-8th Avenue NE) and Fitness Plus South (10401 Braeside Drive SW).
