:( Crappy! I hate when the weekend classes are cancelled. (which seems to be a lot lately)
Thank you for your comment!
Talisman Centre has a unique dual mandate that addresses the needs of a full spectrum of audiences - from high performance and developmental athletes to fitness enthusiasts to people just learning about the benefits of healthy lifestyles for the first time.
Our dual mandate is:
• To provide training and competition facilities and services for the development of Calgary's high performance athletes in their respective dry land and aquatic sports.
• To provide facilities, programs and services for the wellness and recreational sporting needs of the citizens of Calgary.
It is important for Talisman Centre to work with sport organizations in the community and host competitive events to showcase our commitment to developing high performance athletes.
There are a few events each year that do have a larger impact on our members, classes and programs. In order to serve our members and drop-in customers better, the Group Fitness, Programs & Services Team has decided that if we cannot provide the same quality experience our members expect during an event, then the classes will be cancelled with advanced notice and communication.
We do apologize for the inconvenience and do appreciate your feedback.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding the class cancellations, please contact the Group Fitness, Programs & Services Team Leader at (403) 355-1246 or jmireau@talismancentre.com.
I agree that it's crappy. Even with a dual mandate it seems as though there should be enough gyms that one could be kept open for classes and still meet the mandate.
I love Margaret's Step Class (I think it's the best in the City!), and I have been late for many recently because I can't find parking during large events that day. It's unfortunate that yet another Saturday event is displacing the Saturday morning regulars.
I thinks it's great that they indirectly promote the facility and a healthy lifestyle to the young athletes-they are the future.
Are the drop in classes part of the regular membership?
Were looking at buying a family pass and just arent sure what included?
Also trying to check and see if there is any additional discount for Fee Assistance Card holder on the summer camps and swimming lessons.
Thanks
Jon
Hi Jon, thank you for your comment!
Drop-in Group Fitness Classes are included in your membership at Talisman Centre. They are on a first-come, first-serve basis and just require that you pick up an access card from Customer Service on your way in before class.
You can visit our website for more information on the benefits that come with memberships here: http://www.talismancentre.com/programs/memberships.php
or you can download our brochure here: http://www.talismancentre.com/guide/.
Also, you are more than welcome to call Customer Service at 403.233.8393 and we can answer all your questions. And by all means, feel free to stop by and we can give you a tour of the facility and show you everything Talisman Centre has to offer!
Thank you!
In reality, this "dual mandate" seems to be slanted in favour of the elite athlete v.s. the recreational athlete ("regular joe") which is unfortunate as you have many, many loyal members who renew their memberships year after year and who purchase other products & services such as personal training, registered programs, etc.
