If you need an equipment rental for your sport, the Outdoor Centre Equipment Rental in the Department of Kinesiology at the University of Calgary offers the most cheapest rates. For example, if you want to try hiking, they rent out hiking boots and backpacks. Also, they offer outings as well, so if you've never gone hiking, or canoeing, or kayaking, you can learn how, or if you know how, and don't have anyone to go with, you can go with a group. I've found the leaders knowledgeable and friendly. For a complete list of the equipment they carry, go the website below.
If you're into rock climbing, or want to try it, they also have an indoor climbing wall. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherPhone: (403) 220-5038Directions: Located at the Univerisity of Calgary -- phone for directions.Website: http://www.kin.ucalgary.ca/campusrec/Outdoors/index.aspx?page=home

If you like professional ice hockey, then I recommend going downtown and see the local Calgary Flames.
I happen to be a big fan of the flames and enjoy a night out, having a few drinks, something to eat and watching a good game of hockey. Depending on where you sit in the Saddledome, the prices are quite reasonable, even for the family($15-25each).
***UPDATE**** The Calgary Flames are currently playing the Detriot Red Wings in round one of this year playoffs. The first two games didn't go to good for the Flames, hopefully they can rebound in the next games at home.....GO FLAMES GO!!!!
Everything from food to jerseys can be purchased in the concourse of the Saddledome. Leave a Comment Theme: Sports WatchingAddress: Pengrowth Saddle Dome.Phone: (403)777-4646Directions: 555-Saddledome Rise. S.E. Calgary, Alberta T2G2W1Website: www.calgaryflames.com

If you like tennis, there's no reason to miss a game in Calgary. There are approx 160 free tennis courts located all over the city, and it's first come, first served. As a courtesy, if there's others waiting, people limit their game to 30 minutes. However, if the court is busy, there's usually more tennis courts in the area if you look.

| | | | Bankers Hall Fitness/Squash Club...my other home | Tip Rating:  | | | | |
This is the club I have worked part time at for over 2 years. It is a fitness club that specializes in squash, and even has a squash pro on site. However, most of the members don't even play sqhuash, and come for the fitness club and amenities it offers.
It is a higher priced fitness club located in Bankers Hall Downtown, and has a general area as well as an executive area with hot tubs, saunas and its own equipment (mens side and ladies side).
Its a great place if you want an upper scale health club, and if you say you know me, they will be extra helpful (either that or kick you out-I am known as the employee with theo loudest laugh and the most tasteless jokes...c'est la vie:))
The busiest time of day here is before 9 am or during the lunch hour, due to the fact it is in the downtown core. But due to the fact that there are a variety of machines and classes provided, it is never a long wait to get onto a piece of equipment. There is also a swimming pool and free towl service. Laundry service is provided on request as well.
Unfortuntaley, it is a private club, so unless you know a member or have guest passes, you are unable to just drop in. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: 4th Floor Bankers Hall DwontownPhone: 403 298-4765Website: www.bankershallclub.com
