Fitness & Gyms near Kanata, ON

“My son is 14 and taking his competitive edge to the next level for tackle football, we found Donnie & Sara online actually YouTube training High School Varsity players and instantly knew this was the perfect fit for our son and daughter and after the first meeting with Donnie it was def confirmed. The trainers here have the expert knowledge to train high performance athletes as they were themselves high performance athletes. The process is meticulous and very specific to build the proper foundation to take players to the next level. Some programs have the philosophy of a heavy beasting to condition athletes whereas Donnie and his team focus on building something longe term that will provide a path to a very bright future for all their athletes. Just do yourself a favor walk in this facility and see the pictures on the wall of all the professional athletes this team have trained. One final thought this team provides a home for athletes and their families and truly care about everyone who steps through their doors. Thank you Donnie, Sara and Kayeo.”

“Very knowledgeable staff. As a beginner it was reassuring to see to see all ages and skill level represented in the classes. I have felt very welcomed since I joined, with a great sense of community.

There's a large variety of workouts and gear, so the classes don't get dull. The work outs are challenging but the staff are great at motivation, at the end of the day you get out what you put into it.”

“Amazing gym! Trainers made a huge difference for me. They’re supportive encouraging knowledgeable know how to push you. I’ve seen real progress since I started and love all their workouts! Definitely one of the best trainers I’ve worked with!”

“Amazing studio with fantastic staff!
The team is always energetic, welcoming, and super supportive. If you want an efficient 30-minute workout to release stress, get in shape, and have fun at the same time, I highly recommend giving this place a try!”

“Great gym in Aylmer! I feel safe there (I am a young woman) from the point of view of the equipment used, but also from the customers who attend this gym regularly and from the point of view of the team who work hard to keep the own establishment. The locker rooms are always super clean. The community at this gym is really cool and I feel comfortable asking for help when I need it. The owner (Lyne) is also a sweetheart, super friendly and she is always super open to suggestions and listening to customers who frequent her gym. ??”

“Paige and Ethan are great coaches. They always keep an eye on our form and posture and make sure that we correct them at each stage. They are thorough professionals and always motivate us to do better at each and every step. Great job team”

“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.”

“Went here for my niece's 3rd birthday party. The staff seemed kind, engaging and capable. Facility was clean and well maintained. Kids enjoyed themselves a lot.”

“This is a very welcoming gym. I always see staff cleaning, and the front desk team is consistently friendly. The staff also seem to genuinely enjoy working together, which is really nice to see. The only suggestion would be a larger or additional stretching area, as it can sometimes feel a bit tight.”

“I have been going to CrossFit Authentique for 3 years now. I starter with zero experience. I’ve noticed huge improvements in my strength, endurance, and confidence since joining

The coaches are knowledgeable, encouraging, and really take the time to help you improve your techniques while pushing you to reach your potential. The work outs are always different, I never get bored and always leave feeling stronger and accomplished.

The community here is amazing too. Everyone is welcoming and supportive, no matter your fitness level. ^_^”

“After many years of training at the Hunt Club location, I recently moved and now call Queensview my home gym.

There are a lot of reasons I enjoy this location, but the biggest one is that it genuinely feels like home—just as Hunt Club once did for me. Because it’s not a large, mega club, there’s a personal touch the moment you walk in. You start to recognize the same familiar faces: the regular gym crowd, the squash players, the friendly greetings in the change room. That sense of community goes a long way, and I think it’s especially valuable for anyone just beginning their fitness journey. It’s the kind of place where people feel welcomed and included right away.

The facility itself is exceptionally clean, well-organized, and thoughtfully laid out. The selection of free weights, squat racks, cables, and machines is excellent—you have everything you need for a great workout, and then some. Like any gym, it can get busy during peak hours, but that’s expected. If anything, it encourages you to adapt your routine and maybe even try something new.

It’s also the little details that stand out: paper towels are always stocked, sanitizer is always available, and even the soap dispensers are consistently working. These may seem like small things, but they contribute significantly to the overall experience.

I was initially nervous about finding a “new” gym, but Queensview checked every box for me. If you’re looking for a place with a strong sense of community, combined with a clean, well-designed, and fully equipped facility, I would highly recommend this location.”

“I’m a new member (joined the end of September). I’m really enjoying the club. It’s one of the best things that has happened to me in 2025. A visit to Movati is like a mini-vacation in the middle of my day. I enjoy the workout and feel great when I leave after a hot sauna and shower (and maybe a protein smoothie on the way out the door ;-). I’m already feeling so much stronger and healthier (I just turned 70 and have had both cancer and a hip replacement over the past 5 years - my body has taken a beating, but I am turning a corner!! LOL.)

There are many things I like about the club. There is a wide assortment of equipment, and it’s all well maintained. The pool is not large, but it’s not crowded, it's sparkling clean and the temperature is perfect (I swam a kilometer today). I really like the sauna and steam room too. The facility is VERY clean, and everyone seems attentive to keeping it that way. The atmosphere is welcoming, living up to the motto at the entrance. The staff are very nice. Speaking of staff, I have to say that Henry is truly exceptional. His work reflects a real care for the club and its members. He is a warm, friendly individual who is attentive to members’ needs while doing an excellent job around the club. Kudos Henry! (and sorry for only singling one staff member out, because I've met others with the same welcoming, attentive attitudes).

Just wanted to take a minute to share my thoughts because Movati is making a very big difference in my life right now physically and mentally. When everyone is working so hard to keep a large facility like Movati Kanata running so well for so many people, I think it’s important to say thanks! No doubt so much of this success is due to the manager, Ryan, who leads by example.”

“I'm a member of PF in Phoenix AZ and I'm coming to this gym while I'm in town visiting family. I'm very impressed with the cleanliness, friendliness and variety of machines and free weights.”
