I hadn't been on a motorcycle for 35 years and wanted to take a safety course and get back into riding after purchasing a bike; I wanted a course that really emphasized safety and Garry and Jason absolutely delivered. Our class had people that had never even driven a car, let alone ridden a motorcycle, and some riders with more experience, but Garry and Jason made sure that everything they taught us was relevant and important for all of us, new and experienced riders alike. I came away from the course with a much deeper understanding of motorcycle riding safety concepts and riding techniques and feel much more confident in the saddle and very well prepared for my upcoming road test. I took the 2-day weekend basic motorcycle safety course and highly recommend Garry and his team at Wheels. I will likely also book a spot on their advanced road course some time this summer as well. 5 stars all the way!!!!read more

As someone who extensively researched driving schools, I was thrilled to discover Wheels Training Centre (WTC). From the moment I met Garry and stepped in the vehicle, the professionalism, emphasis on safety, and dedication to educate were evident. My driving coach, Garry, deserves special commendation for his expertise and patience. He not only taught me the necessary skills but also instilled in me good driving habits that will last a lifetime. Garry, thank you for the trust and making driving fun to learn. I wholeheartedly recommend WTC to anyone seeking a top-notch driving school experience. In fact, I'm so impressed that I plan to register for their motorcycle course, which was my original intention in researching driving schools. Thank you, WTC, for exceeding my expectations!read more

I am a student driver and I drove with the owner Garry. This is an amazing program and following it will lead to success, I did 10 total hours of driving and I have had no complaints, if i made a mistake Garry would inform me of it, tell me what I did wrong and how I should improve/show how it affects other drivers. 10/10 program I would recommend this to anyone. I am now confident in driving.read more

I was always put off with driving, I had never felt comfortable behind the wheel - I went to driving school after driving school, instructor after instructor, with no luck; I failed the road test multiple times. Garry, however, took me back to the basics and even took me under the hood of the vehicle, familiarizing me (an automobile illiterate) with the operational systems and basic vehicle maintenance. With his coaching and persistent support, I got my license, but more importantly - I feel ready and able to drive anywhere safely in all conditions. I would recommend Wheels to everyone - regardless of expertise level. Thanks again Garry!!read more

I took the 2-day weekend Basic Motorcycle Training Course. It is a good format to quickly get up-to-speed on basics and some more advanced skills with the help of experienced instructors, and to get you ready for the Class 6 Road Test. Marla and Gary, the owners, were also quite friendly and helpful before, during, and after the training. A great experience throughout!read more

I had never ridden a motorcycle before and wanted to learn. The owner, Gary, and the other instructor, Jason, were excellent. They made me feel comfortable and increased my confidence with their patience, expertise, and knowledge. They provided helpful feedback throughout. I really appreciated their emphasis on safety first. I learned so many skills and it exceeded my expectations.read more

I had a wonderful experience with Wheels Training Centre driver's education. I took the road only course, designed for people with their class 5 who need to refresh their skills. Prior to the course, I was comfortable enough driving in towns and small cities, but not comfortable driving in Calgary. I used this course as a sort of headstart to get me comfortable driving in the city. The price point of driver's education from Wheels Training is also on the lower end of the price range when compared to all the other driving schools in Calgary. What I didn't know is that the standard 3-4+ driving courses offered at the different driving schools in Alberta are all the exact same standard curriculums. My instructor was Garry, the owner of Wheels. He is a great driving instructor, clearly has years of experience, and I he also used to be a road test examiner. Garry also provided clear, easy to understand instructions and was enjoyable to do lessons with. Being in a vehicle with someone for 2 hours if you're a new or nervous driver isn't always the most fun experience, but Garry did a great job of making me feel at ease and made the lessons helpful and informative. I took the new driver's education from AMA when I was 20 or so, and I can't say the two instructors I had lessons with were as enjoyable to work with in comparison to Garry. (The AMA instructors were fine, but I left some lessons overwhelmed and frustrated.) The lessons, at least with Garry, were available 7 days a week and at a wide range of morning, afternoon and evening hours. They also pick you up at your home and they let me change a lesson date with enough notice. The vehicle I used to practice on was a compact SUV. Driving something different than a car was something I wanted, so that was great as well. I would 100% recommend Garry and his team at Wheels Training Centre for their quality drivers education and excellent price point. I am also happy with my level of improvement in driving with confidence and capability! Thanks folks! See you safely on the road.read more

So glad I did my basic motorcycle course with Wheels! Gary (owner and instructor) is an established rider, with a wealth of experience under his belt. He's been riding for over 3 decades and will share numerous tales of real-life bike experience. He teaches you the basic safety of being out on the road and how to protect yourself and other riders. He is very respectful of everyone who comes to the course. He has experience as a examiner for the registry as well so he is aware of how to help you be test ready. The course is incredibly valuable, and I came having never ridden a bike before, to being so comfortable with a few different bike options and training excercises. He puts a primary on safety and respect and Wheels is an excellent choice if you want to learn how to ride safely and correctly!read more

Took the weekend 2-day training course and learned everything from how to handle the bike, balance at slow speeds, to picking the bike up off the road. The instructors are there to give you the tools of how to be the safest rider on the road. Very approachable instructors and a nice small group of students for each to receive the attention needed. Would 10/10 recommend!read more

Took the weekend basic motorcycle course and it was fantastic! I have only been on a motorcycle a few times and wanted to get my class 6. Garry and Gunther did an amazing job training and had some excellent tips for the beginner. Being able to try out a variety of motorcycles during the course was a bonus and really helped me figure out which type would be best for me. I was able to take a class 6 road test a week later and the training paid off as I was able to pass on the first try!read more

I really want to ride with my dad as my dad is getting older and after contracting a few schools, Garry called me and convinced me that Wheels Training Centre was the school for me. He wasn't wrong, I enjoyed both days, the class is somewhat intensive as in you get a lot of riding in. The staff is great and willing to help quickly. I got enough experience and confidence to take out my VTR1000F for the first time and I did, around 200kms in a day. I was comfortable that I could do it and I had fun. I think anyone who wants to start riding in the street should take a class, and if you ask me, Wheels Training Centre would be my choice again.read more

Great experience. The course is run by a couple of older, very experienced riders who are well trained and know what they are talking about. They have a wide variety of bikes for people to use so you can a good sense of what style bike you enjoy. They also cover a lot of what is on a road test. They are very easy to talk to and love to answer all the questions you have. I would recommend my friends and family here.read more

Course: Basic Motorcycle Safety Course Crucial course taught by people who have a combined riding experience almost quadruple than how long I am presently alive. Able to coach professionally and in a personal manner despite being in a group setting. Experiences and stories, both the good and the bad, behind all the skills and portions of the course they teach. The instructors are able to inspire confidence with ease. I recommend taking the weeknight course which is split into three sections. Being able to sleep on the skills and lessons made a big difference in being able to participate in the final group ride. Take the course, you won’t regret it.read more

Great instructors, great experience. I did the basic safety course option, and you get you on the bike right away, which was nice because I was expecting an in class portion. My one recommendation would be to pace yourself as it's quite physically and mentally draining, so pace yourself during the day and the course of the weekend.read more

I competed the Basic Motorcycle Training course on the weekend and had the time of my life! Allan and Tim were a great team of instructors. They quickly broke the ice and got us on the bikes very quickly. They gave us a good overview of the bikes‘ systems, spotlighting the importance of careful maintenance to ensure safety. I found it really helpful to be able to swap bikes with other riders to gain confidence and experience. Once we were all comfortable with the basics (starting on a hill, emergency stopping, cornering, etc.) we had a blast riding around as a group. My favourite part by far was touring around on the streets, gaining experience and confidence. I am so thankful to Tim and Allen for their careful instruction, attention to detail, and humour! I highly recommend this course to anyone who would like to gain experience and confidence in preparation for their road test.read more

I just spent two days with three amazing instructors and 8 fabulous women doing the WOMENS ONLY Basic motorcycle course. Many of us went from never riding a bike or only being tail fluff to riding as a pose of awesome biker chicks on the ROAD. Not only were the instructors knowledgeable but they were approachable and willing to answer ANY question and calm any nerve. The course was full with information with tons of time to practise skills, talk through scenarios and laugh at the hilarious "biker vocabulary." I would recommend this course to any woman pondering taking up motorcycle riding. You will leave feeling confident and with some strong connections to the women that went on this journey with you. Well worth the time and the money. CHEERS TO MEDIUM SIZED BANANASread more

I could tell that they really do care about your safety as a driver and ensuring you are all set for your road test, while also making you more comfortable driving on the road in general. Plus they're not after your money like some other driving schools. I really recommend them to anyone looking for a driving school, my experience with them was great.read more

I completed my Class 6 Motorcycle course through Wheels Training Centre a few weeks ago, and I am very proud to say that I am now a fully licensed, Class 6 motorcyclist! Garry and Steve were both fantastic instructors, and were very clear and professional in their instructions. The selection of bikes offered in the course is great, and you have the opportunity to swap out to another bike in your second or third day of the course, to switch things up. Looking forward to finally getting out on the open highway! Thanks Wheels Training, I would DEFINITELY recommend your class 5 and 6 courses to friends and family!read more

Within a few hours we were all confidently circling the parking lot in first gear. Very cool experience. I would highly recommend this course for anyone remotely interested in motorcycle riding. I had zero experience before this and by the end I was confident driving a bike. Also Garry has a great selection of bikes to try out!read more

For the very first time driving wasn't scary and my legs weren't jello after getting out of the vehicle. I feel a lot more confident in my driving and I was actually able to have fun with it. The driving instructor was absolutely incredible and was not only very professional, but was friendly, and a phenomenal teacher. He explained things in ways that really suck and I will probably be thinking about things he said when driving for the rest of my life. I highly highly recommend taking courses here as not only are they absolutely phenomenal but they are really well priced.read more

I completed the Women's Only Basic Motorcycle course with Garry and Allen and I could not recommend Wheels Training more. These gentleman were patient and explained things clearly but the best part was getting the opportunity to learn with a community of women who were supportive and cheered each other on.

I attended a basic motorcycle course at Wheels Training Centre in August 2020. A great place to learn and improve one's riding skills. Garry and Allan are very experienced and patient instructors who provide a lot of teaching points. The range of the bikes is very good, you get an opportunity to try different kinds: sport, naked, dual-sport and cruiser. Overall, would definitely recommend this place to my friends.read more

Just finished the wheels basic motorcycle course last week. It was a fantastic experience. The other riders in the course were all excellent and very supportive of each other. Garry is a fantastic instructor and did a great job of teaching us the basics to riding a motorcycle. I love the fact that they used experiences of their own to reinforce the point that was being taught. I would definitely recommend the course to anyone out there who is looking at a motorcycle course.read more

I recently completed the basic motorcycle course offered at Wheels and I am glad I did! Great instructors one of which is the owner of the company, he is extremely knowledgeable and was able to answer any and all questions we had for him. Safety is #1 here and they give you all of the tools needed to hit the roads and complete your class 6 examination. I had never previously been on a motorcycle but at the end of the course I comfortably and confidently am able to ride using the techniques taught to me during the course. Also a special thanks to the reception/office staff. I had a scheduling issue with work and she was able to get me changed to a different class in minutes.read more

If you're considering taking a safety course I would highly recommend Wheels Training Center. The course is intuitive and well planned out to gain the confidence and knowledge for riding. I had never rode a motorcycle, dirt bike or anything of that nature and by the end of the course I was able to participate in the group ride. Additionally, once the course is done the instructors make it clear that if you have any questions later on about the course, the test, riding, etc to reach out to them. They're happy to assist during and after the course. Thanks Gary and Steve! This course was great! -Ashread more

Gary, Alan, and Ron were the guys who did the basic course for the group. It was fun and a lot was learned from them. They are very professional, very thorough, and very honest with their evaluation on the aspiring riders. I definitely didn't waste my money picking this school for my learning. If you are serious about motorcycle driving, then this is the school for you. Lots of motorcycle to choose from depending on the type of rider you are imagining yourself to be. Gary might have been strict but that's what a great teacher he is as he didn't want us to fail. Alan was very encouraging. And, Ron was the fun guy (thanks for letting us view your victory bike!). You guys are awesome! Looking forward to get the advance skills from you guys!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

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

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

Great place to learn how to ride a motorcycle safely.

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
