Do What the Locals Do – Episode 16 – Talisman Centre

Any devoted gym goer in Calgary who doesn’t already go to the Talisman Centre knows deep down inside he or she is missing out on one of the best indoor recreational centres there is in the city.

Talisman Centre Calgary

While we all would like to believe our own gym is the best in Calgary (and it very well might be for you), the Talisman Recreational Centre simply has too much to offer in comparison to other Calgary gyms to be considered equal. For those who want an ultimate recreational playground throughout the year, the Talisman Centre is your best bet!

And for those visiting Calgary who are staying in the inner city or downtown areas, the Talisman Centre can be reached in only a few minutes of driving and has very flexible hours of operation!

Talisman Recreational Centre Facilities

  • 5 full-sized gyms with a variety of public times and scheduled activities
  • I love Calgary2 running tracks, one of which is multi-lane and runs around the circumference of the inner gymnasiums
  • Massive fitness facility with approximately 25,000 square feet of space filled with all your needs for cardio and weight training
  • Every week Talisman hosts over 60 public fitness classes in their dry land facilities

Another amazing benefit to visiting the Talisman Recreational Centre in the spring and summer is its riverside location. Tucked away in a nook surrounded by the Elbow River, going for a riverside walk, run or jog is easier than ever with the amenities offered by the Talisman Centre only a stone throw away.
