“The Fitness Lab totally exceeded our expectations. One of the biggest concerns my wife and I had when moving to Ottawa was losing the format and vibe of our old gym. We were worried we’d have to go back to the traditional gym grind—but finding The Fitness Lab was such a win.
The class formats are exactly what we were looking for—high-intensity, circuit-style training that keeps things moving and challenging. But what really stands out is the team. The trainers are not only super friendly, but also incredibly knowledgeable and in full control of the class. You can tell they know their stuff and genuinely care about your progress.
The facilities are great, the workouts push me every time, and there’s never been an issue with parking (huge bonus!). The front desk team was also amazing—super welcoming, got us set up quickly, and are always helpful when we have questions.
Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a solid training program and a community that keeps you motivated.”
“If you have a teen athlete or even a teen looking to learn about safe weight lighting and exercise, the team at The Proving Grounds are amazing. My son is working with trainer Alen Halilovic and loving the sessions. We wanted our teen to begin weight training with a focus on a solid foundation centered around proper form and technique. Alen is creating this positive experience of not only teaching our young athlete about form and safety, but also the combination of body weight exercises, use of light weights, injury prevention and recovery. All the while making the sessions fun and challenging. Highly recommend.”

“The owners and trainers at 9Round Barrhaven can help you change your life! You do the work, they will support and encourage you. All ages and all fitness levels (or lack there of in my case when I started) have a place here. I tried it after some gentle encouragement from a friend & now I can’t imagine my life without this place. The workouts aren’t easy but you go at the pace you can handle. Before you know it you’re doing things you never imagined you’d be able to do. The owners and trainers are always great-no judgements, always supportive & encouraging and ready to teach. They truly have helped me to change my life. I highly recommend 9Round Barrhaven. Try it, you’ll see.”
“Community, fun and a kick butt workouts are what comes to mind when I think of Crossfit YOW. It's a small gym but has everything you'll need to for a great workout. Classes are a great size so that you'll get regular feedback and tips from the coaches during workouts.”

“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.”
“I joined this gym location in January 2024 and love it! It’s big, clean and the staff at the Front Desk are pleasant and friendly! I have been doing the Body Pump classes with June and the Spinning Classes with Jeff. June is amazing! I love her classes! She has a beautiful personality and positive energy! She makes certain we do the exercises with the proper technique to prevent injuries. She appreciates her class!Jeff is also a great instructor and makes sure our bikes are set up properly! He has a positive energy and his classes are a lot of fun!They are both great motivators!”
“Great and clean facility! I had a chance to check out this location while in town and I had nothing but great experience. Valentina was very welcoming and helpful in getting me situated. The gym had all of the usual equipment that I need to get a great workout. Would highly recommend checking out!”

“Overall pretty good, staff is friendly. But there are a few broken machines: One of the hydro massage chairs is always out of commission and the red light therapy machine doesn't have a working vibrating plate.”
“Hands down, this is the best gym I’ve ever been to. The atmosphere is unreal, the equipment is top-tier and always well maintained, and the energy actually motivates you to push harder every session. It’s clean, well organized, and never feels run down. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and the vibe is positive without being intimidating. Every workout here feels productive — I wouldn’t train anywhere else.
Special thanks too Kiera and Kevin ?”

“I worked with David Ivanov as my personal trainer at this gym, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. He is excellent—knowledgeable, supportive, and motivating. When I started, I was a complete beginner with very limited knowledge, but David was incredibly patient and skilled at teaching and guiding me through the process. After 8 months of training with him, I am extremely happy with the results. I feel stronger, more confident, and healthier.”
“I had a great experience training with Mike at Movati. He was very accommodating and always focused on the areas I wanted to work on and improve. Throughout our sessions, he introduced new techniques and tailored each session to target my goals. I've now incorporated these techniques into my leg and glute routine. His guidance helped me feel more confident and motivated in my workouts. Highly recommend!”
“Great place to be! Brett and his team are amazing! I started here in summer and love it. My measure is when you walk in and staff know you by name. That is a great business and you feel you are part of a community. I started to look forward to working out!. Their classes are engaging and you could really feel the positive change in your health”
