Wheels was professional, timely and less money than some of the other driver training spots in Calgary. Garry was fantastic - very knowledgeable, personable and relaxed - and our son got his licence on his first try! I can't recommend this place enough. And I will be signing up all my kids into the Winter Driving class as well! What a great idea! Go to this place for all your driver training!read more

I’m writing this review just after passing my road test with zero deductions! Garry is such an amazing instructor with lots of patience and practice, his techniques that he will teach you will never fail. I would really recommend this training centre for everyone, the pricing is also amazing and fits well for a student. You will definitely not regret taking lessons with Garry!read more

My instructor was Gary (the owner) amazingly chill guy. Love his saying they stick in your head so you become a safer rider on the road. It was my first time near a motorcycle, by the end I was confidently riding at 70km/h no problem. I was also concerned about different bike styles thanks to Gary's wide variety of selection I got to try out different kinds of styles. Since I'm a teenager I fell in love with the CBR250R race bike. Gary also allows students to learn at their own pace which I loved so i'm not being held back or pushed forward with other riders. 10/10 had a great experience, would 10/10 recommend it. Only complaint is, I wish it was longer so I can enjoy more time with Gary, bikes and the other riders. After the third class it felt like friends getting together for a ride while learning some stuff along the way.read more

Of all the ways you can spend $500 on over a weekend, per dollar the Basic Rider Course offers one of the most rewarding and fun learning experiences. The Basic Rider Course's pacing and curriculum is perfect for people who have never sat on a street bike. Garry, the school owner and my instructor, was an outstanding instructor that genuinely cares about people and riding. Everyone in my group was different in both level of skill and personality and I observed and experienced how he effectively tailored his teaching and coaching style to each individual student. In 2 days he was able to get me, someone who's never been on a motorcycle, to safely and competently ride on public roads with cars, semis and pedestrians. Garry was able to make a daunting and steep learning curve very safe, manageable and fun! All you have to do is show up with an open mind, be willing to listen, willing to fail and apply what the instructor teaches you. 5/5 stars!read more

Great training centre! I took the motorcycle training course and I am glad I did it! Close to home, punctual, and knowledgeable. Garry and Allan were fantastic! Due to some unscheduled cancellations we had one on one training! I didn't mind! Skills development exercises are perfect and I am glad to have taken this course. I believe I will be a better rider and car driver because of this.read more

Truly a five star experience, Wheels Training centre not only offers what seems to be the most comprehensive instruction, but also the best instructors available in Garry McConnell and his associates. Going through the basic motorcycle course, having never ridden a bike before, I saw myself making tangible progress with each session. By the end of the course I was comfortably enjoying riding on the open road. From the beginning of the course, safety was the utmost priority and the school really made an effort to ensure that I and my fellow classmates were shaped into safe and knowledgeable riders. In a 3 hour presentation we were given more than enough to ace the Alberta class 6 knowledge test, and through the on bike training I believe we were over prepared in the best of ways for our road test. Garry took time to make sure that every member of the group improved on their individual shortcomings and would be road-ready upon leaving Wheels Training Centre. In addition, him and his staff happily answered all of my questions via phone call or email comprehensively and in a timely manner. In essence, Wheels Training Centre failed only in the ability to present a single flaw or shortcoming to me; from the extremely competitive price of the courses, to interacting with the instructors and a graduate of the basic course. A fantastic experience through and through.read more

Hats off to instructors Garry (owner) and Rick at Wheels Training Centre! I had been thinking of taking a motorcycle driving course for quite some time and there are many to choose from. I decided on Wheels because of their high google reviews and also because the course is only one weekend long, instead of two. I am female and they also offer female only courses. I didn’t do that course because I wanted to take the course sooner rather than later. I was the only female in a group of 9, plus 2 male instructors. I fit right in and felt very welcome. I wasn’t made to feel any different because i am a “girl”. Both instructors were very professional and very concerned about each students safety at ALL times. I was having trouble with the clutch almost all weekend, each time I brought this up to either instructor, they offered a solution or asked what they could do to help me correct my problem. I know everyone wants to get on the bike and “ride”, but you need the proper tools and education to do so.... and I strongly believe you will get the tools you need with this course. I feel very confident on a motorcycle now and can’t wait to get on my own. Sorry for such a long post... but wanted to get it all out lol. And remember “safety first”!!! Happy riding.read more

Had a wonderful experience this past weekend at the women’s basic riding course. The instructors were great! Gary and Al took the time with each of us to make sure we were comfortable learning the basics. They tailored the course to each individuals comfort level while emphasizing safety. There was a good variety of bikes to try; after this weekend I feel prepared to take the road test. Such a informative and fun course!read more

Highly recommended for beginners! AMAZING instructors! Gary and Rick were patient and assuring. They looked after every single student and made sure everyone was comfortable before moving on. I went from very little experience on a motorcycle to being confident on a motorcycle. Had the weekend course on June 8, 9. Took the road test June 13th and passed with flying colors! Will be recommending all my friends to learn through Wheels.read more

5 stars is not enough to truly explain the quality of this school. Gary is absolutely amazing, he is patient, knowledgeable and everyone’s safety is his paramount concern. I came out of the school with a wealth of knowledge, confidence and the tools needed to keep me safe on the road. I would recommend this school to new riders, old riders who want a refresh and anyone not feeling 100% comfortable on a motorcycle. Keep up the great work Wheels. Lukeread more

If there were 10 stars to give, I would hands down give them a 10! Garry is an absolute superstar! He takes his time to explain everything to you, and even walks you through it. They really care about your safety, as you can see that through the training they provide. Please keep up the awesome work so happy that there is a place like this in the community! I will be going back for the Can Am Spyder training AND advanced motorcycle training! Thank you so very very much! Kellyread more

You can tell that Gary cares about making sure every single person will be safe and stay alive once they leave the school. He tries to ingrain in us the skills we will need for both the test and to be great motorcyclists! They’re not in it for the money and give a lot of personal attention to each student.read more

You get a wealth of knowledge and experience from Gary, Al and Rick. You can tell they really live the riding lifestyle and enjoy teaching others. I had never been on a motorcycle and after the basic course I am confident I can pass the road test. One day is a few hours of theory, one day going over controls/inspection before riding and learning slow speed manuevers. The 3rd day included review, small group rides on the road and additional riding techniques. Its incredibly fun and I cant imagine trying to ride a bike without having proper training. I'll probably do their advanced course in the future. 5 stars for sure. Dont forget your sunscreen though :)read more

Gary and Gary have a wealth of motorcycle riding experience. I took the basic motorcycle course and found it awesome. The drills started from very basic (pushing a bike around), to avoidance techniques (quick decision swerving). The groups are not to big that you get lost in the mix. The instructors were always correcting and giving suggestions on how to improve your riding techniques. It was a fun weekend.read more

Great place to learn how to ride a motorcycle safely. To be honest, I thought that it is possible to have someone falling off the motorcycle, even myself, in fact, no one crash or fall under their professional training and supervising. One day parking lot training and one day on road, it is very helpful to build your confidence.read more

If I have to describe my experience with Wheels Training Centre in a few words, it'd be "They are the best!". I recently moved to Calgary from Edmonton. Although I had already 3 years of driving experience in Canada, I wanted to refresh myself and get ready before I started my job that requires driving throughout the city. Plus, I wanted to get rid of GDL from my license. I called 4 other schools, and all were very pricey. Since I got my first license in the States 7 years ago, I thought I should take some in-class lessons. I explained my situation over the phone to Gary, the owner, and he said I should be fine with only driving lessons. Gary has years of experience, and he is very thoughtful! You could see that he's not after your money but simply want you to be a good driver. He even came to my road test as my cheerleader! I passed the test and I'm officially a good class 5 driver!! It's all because of Gary!! :)read more

The instructors and staff at Wheels Training Centre are fantastic. They are easy to talk to, and they teach in a manner that makes it easy to understand and easy to apply the riding principles to the hands on portion of the course. The slow speed maneuvers, balancing, braking and swerving exercises are the key to successful riding in a crowded parking lot and on the open road. Safety is their main concern throughout the duration of the course. The cost of the course, which comes in less than most other courses I found, is well worth course fee. There is also the added bonus of being able borrowing one of their bikes for the road test on the last day of the course. Thanks Gary, I learned a lot and had an awesome time.read more

I took the basic motorcycle course in preparation in taking my class 6 road test. The school experience was very professional with the added benefit of being very personalized. The instructor was amazing and helped myself and my fellow classmates pass all our tests first try! Not only did we learn how to ride, but we learned the importance of safety which will keep us on the road for many years. Thanks Wheels Training Centre!read more

Not only does wheels have the best price, it has amazing instructors. Garry, the owner, has decades of riding and instructing experience. Its obvious that he does this simply because he loves motorcycles and loves teaching people how to ride. The instructors are great at working one on with everyone on the course all at different skill levels to give personalized advice to everyone. Great experience overall, had an amazing weekend. Thank you so much!read more
