We’re BAAAAAAAAACK!!!!! — it’s hard to believe this is our 10th Annual YEG Thrive Awards (formerly the Best of YEG Fitness Awards).
What started as a small way to recognize local fitness and wellness professionals has grown into one of Edmonton’s favourite community celebrations — honouring the incredible businesses, studios, and practitioners who make our city a healthier and happier place.
Each year, we invite our community to come together and help us spotlight the people and places that keep Edmonton Thriving. Whether it’s your favourite gym, yoga studio, chiropractor, physiotherapist, or wellness coach, we want to hear who inspires you to live your best life.
How It Works
Here’s how the 2025 YEG Thrive Awards process unfolds:
Nominations:
Until December 10, our readers can nominate their favourite local businesses across a wide range of health and wellness categories.
Top 5 Finalists:
Once nominations close, we’ll review and tabulate all entries. The top 5 nominees in each category will move forward to the final round in our Judging Panel Review.
Judging Panel Review:
Our Thrive Panel — made up of local leaders in fitness, health, and wellness — will then evaluate the finalists using clear selection criteria focused on community impact, quality of service, innovation, and overall contribution to wellness in the Edmonton area.
Awards Night Celebration:
The winners will be announced at our YEG Thrive Awards Show in February, where we’ll come together to celebrate another amazing year in Edmonton’s wellness community.
