We love hosting groups such as:

School Groups

For school field trips, we can book with any school district and have Master Agreements in place with Public, Separate, Rocky View, and various private schools. 

Sports Teams

Bring your players in for a team bonding activity, or just a fun season windup. We also customize sport-specific group fitness training to maximize their potential.

Kids and Youth Groups

Almost all of our activities can be tailored to any skill level for different ages and abilities. We love to teach new skills. 

Adult Groups

Do you need an excuse to get out with your friends or colleagues and do something fun? Choose an activity and let's get started building an experience you'll never forget.

Group Booking Activities

You can choose one or more of the activities below. For more information, please fill out the Custom Group Activities booking request form. Each program area you select on the form will send your request directly to the program coordinator. They will then contact you with their individual process for booking. If a multisport day is desired, these can be booked back to back with each coordinator.


Fitness Classes

Take your pick from our variety of engaging group fitness classes already offered at UCalgary. Favourites include yoga, spin, Zumba, or a variety of free weight and body weight workouts. 

We can book a private fitness studio in the Kinesiology building, or many of our classes can come to you.

Gymnastics

At the University of Calgary Gymnastics Centre, we can facilitate groups young and old. Once we know the ability level of your group, we can tailor your visit to exactly what you hope to get out of it. Enjoy a fun workshop of everything from flexibility and balance training, to a quick lesson on trampoline, beam, and other apparatus.

We also have a location in Cochrane at the Spray Lake Sawmills Family Sport Centre. Trained staff will lead your group and provide program planning for the time period booked. Safety is our first priority and children will be challenged with age-appropraite skills and challenges. For bookings in Cochrane, email tcrogers@ucalgary.ca.

Personal Training

Book a session with a certified personal trainer and realize the sky's the limit. Your group can work out in a private studio with a program that's crafted specifically around your abilities and goals. Many workouts can be set-up to accommodate a range of skill levels in the same group.

The trainer can also facilitate a Lunch and Learn, speaking on topics such as workplace ergonomics or stretching to combat sitting all day. 

Racquet Sports

Take a swing at a whole array of racquet sports; squash, pickleball, and racquetball.

For more information, please contact racquet@ucalgary.ca

Skating

Book a fun skating lesson at one of our two locations: The Olympic Oval or Bowness Park Lagoon. Our instructors can tackle anything from learn-to-skate and intro to hockey, to speed skating and figure skating lessons. We can even include skate rentals for your group. 

Standard booking:
1 hour | 15 people | $130
