Trainers in Ottawa

“I love being a member here! The managers are awesome and incredibly supportive, saying hello every time you come in. The gym is always clean, the machines are always in working order, and the members are super respectful and kind as well. Going to the gym is my favourite part of the day and I wouldn’t want to spend it in the basement of the mall (iykyk). Highly recommend ?“

“I've been working with David for the past 3 months to rehab my knee and rebuild my strength. His functional strength training has helped me feel stronger and more confident in my everyday life.

David has pushed me to lift heavier weights and try exercises I never would have attempted on my own, always making sure I felt safe and capable. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to get stronger, recover from an injury, or improve their overall fitness.“

“Best workout place to break a sweat. The staff is incredible, and the gym's atmosphere makes for a beautiful and supportive community.“

“I'm so glad I took my gym's advice and contacted OPC for my head injury. They answered my query quickly and politely, got me in immediately for an assessment, and helped pinpoint the issues quickly. They answered all my questions and set me up for recovery. They're very transparent about treatment and make the homework easy to understand and follow. I'll definitely be sending anyone I know to them for help with concussions or vertigo. Thank you so much for getting me back to the gym and life!“

“Very well run gym. Simple but effective. The coaches are excellent. Their classes are well designed, there is some thought behind the progression. 7 years so far, it totally works for me.“

“Thanks to Kristin, my back pain meaningfully improved in a short period. She quickly identified issues and provided treatment programs that allowed me to maintain an active lifestyle.

I trust her judgement and she is also a great communicator, which made the entire process comfortable and reassuring.

I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a physiotherapist!“

“Downtown Location on Laurier. Excellent customer service. The gym is well kept and extremely clean. It also has lots of private bathrooms with showers. They also have 2 luxurious massage chairs and a few compression legs massage equipment. Very well equipped.“

“Today I had the pleasure of working out at A Foot Above for the first time, and honestly, I have nothing but positive things to say. I trained with Benny, and my session was incredibly informative, effective, and packed with knowledge. I walked out feeling stronger, confident, and genuinely impressed.
The hospitality was amazing. The gym is beautiful, spotless, and thoughtfully set up. I love that they have a CrossFit area! It really has a homey, motivating vibe.
I highly recommend checking out this gym. I will definitely be back for more sessions with Benny! ?✨“

“I joined Reform H&F at the end of October and have been tremendously impressed with the team, facility, and my progress/results over the past 2+ months. I'm a 59 yr old male who has never done Pilates or strength training before and really didn't know what to expect. Heather Pugh is a very clear expert in Pilates, who is tremendously supportive & helpful and has built herself an outstanding team of trainers all of whom have been absolutely fantastic. I've done the Mega and TRM2 classes with several different trainers as well as a few private sessions with Heather and Melissa when I first started out. All of the trainers do a superb job of explaining the positions and keeping the classes flowing smoothly from exercise to exercise.

After 2.5 months of classes I have noticed marked reductions in my shoulder pain and back aches and pains, improved balance, better flexibility and much better posture overall (a relative at Christmas remarked that I looked so much taller than the last time she saw me!). My core and upper body have also very clearly been strengthened - it is so much easier carrying in extra large bags of dog food from the car into the basement!! I look forward to continuing my training at REFORM and can't wait to see what impact my off-season Pilates training will have on my golf yardages and scores this coming summer! If you live in Ottawa and are interested in a fitness / strength training program I highly recommend checking out REFORM H&F!

btw Parking is super easy for classes at Reform - I usually park on Richmond Road (across from the Real Canadian Superstore / Bushtukah) and walk over (parking is free for 90 minutes on Richmond Road) or park in the underground parking lot and get 90 minutes of free parking with a $10 purchase at the Farm Boy grocery store right beside Reform.

I am super happy with REFORM H&F and the results I have achieved with them to-date.“

“Karolyne is an incredible teacher all around. I appreciate her approach to pole and bringing in important themes each classes. She makes it an experience beyond just pole but makes sure your heart and soul tags along the journey. Thank you for opening this welcoming and safe space.“

“My husband and I strongly support Sensei Dom’s Karate Dojo on Carling Avenue. Our granddaughter has enjoyed the many Karate sessions here. The instructors are kind and patient. She always returns from her lessons full of enthusiasm and confidence. She enjoys demonstrating her new skills to us after every class. We encourage any parent who would like their child to develop their physical abilities and social confidence to join Westboro Dovris Dojo. It’s a great place for children and adults.“

“This club is the perfect combination of a not crowded gym, THE BEST VIEW of Ottawa while doing some hit cardio and the nicest relax time at the pool, jacuzzi and sauna ? Nicholas, the coordinator has been so helpful and kind every time someone needs anything at the club, he truly excels at his personal trainings and how he treat his guest!!“

“Massive shoutout to Alix and jannat at the merivale rd planet fitness location !!! They consistently are super friendly when you arrive and when you leave. They truly make you feel important and valued and appreciated.!!

“very big gym can get packed sometimes but generally its good shoutout to quinlan he one of their staff he helped me fix a machine that wasnt working right super helpful“

“Alex is awesome! He always pushes me and motivates me. Every session is challenging and we learn new techniques and strategies.

I've been training with him for 6 months or so now.

He tailors his approach to each client. I like pushing myself, so every session is challenging and I leave calm and relaxed

I suggest any beginner or intermediate kickboxing or boxing to give his services a try!“

“A few weeks ago I had trouble accessing my Goodlife account.   I wanted to access my PT3 account to remind myself on the date of my payment.  Justin was very helpful in navigating my account and help me make my payment on my visa card

I want to praise Justin on his patience in explaining and even repeating how to proceed and what would be the best timing for payment given the date in the contract.

An other big asset in my mind is his ability to speak French, given the high numbers of French speakers at the Orleans Goodlife.   I know it helped me a great deal.   Keep up the good work Justin.“

“I have been working with Julie on/off for the past 4 years. She is incredible!I first came to her as a Mom in her 40's who decided to go back to Paramedic school. I was "going to the gym" but soon learned that that was not going to cut it for the physical testing demands of the program. (Carrying weighted chairs and backboards up/down flights of stairs).Julie was so willing to work with me and customize the program so that I would meet my goals (and I did!). I've been seeing Julie when my schedule permits (and around CoVid closures - she has a very clean and safe space and takes health advisories seriously) to maintain my strength and fitness.Her sessions are 1:1. She also is your biggest cheerleader and will help you with nutritional items as well.“

“Very pleased with the experience signing up, Autumn was quick and informative throughout the process and made it easy to get started.“
