Royal City Community Fitness

Fantastic experience: Best CrossFit gym in Guelph. Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff.

Fantastic experience: I've been lifting weights at traditional chain gyms for more than 20 years. I always wanted to try CrossFit, but was a little intimidated by it (especially since I'm quite shy and generally stay away from group fitness). Royal City was recommended by a friend, so I joined to give it a try--and I'm so glad I did! The workouts are incredibly challenging, but still accessible to anyone based on their individual fitness level. Everyone is super friendly, and the coaches make a point to learn everyone's name. Really glad I made the switch to Royal City! I can't imagine going back to a chain gym after going to RCCF.

Fantastic experience: I joined RCCF a little over a year ago at the recommendation of friends. I had never tried CrossFit before but was looking to try something new. I Got hooked early. This gym has a fantastic community, something I didn’t know I was looking for. The coaches are amazing and the atmosphere is great. Thanks RCCF!

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Light has given me a functional fitness level beyond my wildest dreams! The RCCF Community is so welcoming, and the knowledgeable coaches motivate us to reach our fitness goals in a safe but fun way. Each move is reviewed, demonstrated and presented with a variety of scaled options which makes them accessible to everyone. I feel such gratitude that I took the leap and became a member of this amazing gym - my body is thanking me!

Fantastic experience: Amazing coaches, they are always so encouraging and motivating to keep you going! Best gym ever

Fantastic experience: Have been a member of RCCF for the past year. Have been enjoying the fitness journey.

Fantastic experience: Great community to team up with in your fitness journey. Would recommend the facility to anyone, sign up for a foundations class and go from there. Wish I could have started sooner!

Fantastic experience: I started at RCCF a few months ago and couldn’t be happier to be a member! Everyone is so welcoming and after being a member at a few other gyms the welcoming vibe is unmatched.The coaches are patient and amazing at breaking down the steps needed in each workout. As someone with dyslexia, I’ve never felt judged and I am so grateful for the extra coaching throughout the workouts. The space is clean and it’s nice to feel I’m getting stronger! Thank you RCCF!! Ya’ll are doing the Guelph community proud

Fantastic experience: Lovely CrossFit community , we starting early morning, reassuring welcome, great coach Teff with her fruitful comments and observations, I strongly recommend it

Fantastic experience: After 3 years of no real physical activity and relocating during the pandemic, I decided to join RCCF in March 2023 after moving to Guelph. I can't recommend this place more - the coaches are engaging and really care about your form and your progression, helping you nail movements and work on incremental progression. As with most CrossFit boxes, the community is welcoming and supportive, whether you're a newbie or a seasoned veteran. I would give 6 stars if I could.

Fantastic experience: Perry is a great guy - highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym and great people.

Positive experience: Awesome workout facility with a great vibe. If you want to get a real workout with structured coaching check this great place out.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love working out and the community I've built in my time at Royal City. I'm fitter than I've ever been which I attribute to the community at the gym which keeps me coming back and the fantastic programming.

Fantastic experience: RCCF is an unbelievably supportive, welcoming place. Having bounced around gyms for 15 years, I have never felt so much a part of a genuine community. Couldn't ask for more.

Negative experience: I really love the community. I felt like I belonged and the workouts were fun and engaging. However, the owner runs it like a Cult and when you have an issue, your membership is cancelled and you are not welcomed back. Such a shame.

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym, I am not a typical "gym" person but am really enjoying being a member here. The atmosphere is great, very supportive, and there are class times to meet every schedule. I'd recommend RCCF to anyone.

Fantastic experience: RCCF is my second family. The coaches are amazing (especially Perry), very knowledgeable, and care about each individual’s progress regardless of skill level. The programming is great and I’ve made huge improvements here. Love this community.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to the gym for almost a year. The gym community has been extremely welcoming and encouraging, coaches and patrons alike continue to motivate me to reach my goals. I recently finished a 4 week nutrition challenge. My goal was to get my self back on track after a summer of travel and in turn drastic change in diet, to learn what a well rounded meal with appreciate macros look like, and to put on a bit of weight. With the help of my coach Perry and the rest of the team I was able to surpass those goals and have the momentum and strategies to maintain my progress. Not only did I meet my goals but I learned so much about different diets, supplements to consider, and meal prep ideas without being too strick and sucking the fun out of food. This has been a great compliment to my workouts and I now feel I am getting the most out of each session by fueling my body with the right foods.

Fantastic experience: I've enjoyed being a member of Royal City Community Fitness for about 5 months. I wanted to write a review because I am so happy I've joined. The coaches are very knowledgeable and I appreciate the warm ups and good explanations of the workouts. The coaches are all invested in supporting your progress no matter your skill or fitness level. I never realized how special a good community vibe can be for a gym until I joined RCCF :)

Fantastic experience: We (my husband and I) have been going to Royal City Community Fitness since it began almost 10 years ago. We definitely feel that it has helped us in our total well-being. We are attending the Fitness Light classes. The coaches have been fabulous through the years; they seem to know how far to push us and when to pull back if we have a minor injury or some aching muscles. I absolutely know that this class has kept us physically fit as we are both in our 70’s! We also have gotten to know many other members throughout the years and truly enjoy the family spirit that we feel at the gym. The friendships that we have developed in our Royal City Community Fitness Light classes are so important to us and we love having a coffee (and maybe a pastry) gathering with our group. We both know that our Tuesday and Thursday routine going to the gym has been a great benefit to us. Thank you to everyone at Royal City Community Fitness for making this such a positive experience!

Fantastic experience: I joined RCCF after getting into a rut with my workout routine. I've been at RCCF for a few weeks now and have found working out enjoyable again. The workouts are challenging without making you feel overwhelmed. All the coaches are friendly and make you feel very welcomed as well as give you many options to scale your workout if needed. Glad I stumbled upon this gym!

Fantastic experience: I have nothing but great things to say about this gym. I was completely new to crossfit and completely out of my element. the coaches are so patient, skilled and professional not to mention encouraging. I have met some wonderful friends in the coaches and the members and truly love being a part of the community Royal City has created and cannot recommend it enough

Fantastic experience: RCCF is amazing! The WOD's are fun, the members are welcoming, and the workouts are led by certified coaches who give feedback and adjustments during the classes and just the right amount of encouragement. The music is blaring and the atmosphere is awesome. I recommend RCCF to anyone wanting to try Crossfit in Guelph!

Fantastic experience: RCCF has been one of my favourite places to go to for the past 8 years. The coaches and the community are amazing! The training and time spent here has not only improved my physical fitness, but also my overall health. Truly!

Fantastic experience: I joined RCCF in July of 2021 having done CrossFit briefly before. Although I originally joined because of proximity, I was completely sold when I spoke to Craig and the staff about the importance of community. Being able to show up and get in a great workout that I can adjust and scale to exactly what I need or how I’m feeling is so wonderful, and the coaches and other members are so supportive. There is a considerable lack of “ego” here, which makes me adamant that Royal City CrossFit really is for anyone.

Fantastic experience: Would recommend to anyone! Very knowledgeable trainers who go above and beyond to help you reach your fitness goals in a safe and fun environment.

Fantastic experience: AMAZING trainers and atmosphere. Craig and his crew are INCREDIBLE at teaching and making sure you succeed at attaining your goals in a safe and fun way. I HIGHLY recommend Royal City CrossFit.

Fantastic experience: High quality equipment, diverse group of classes, and positively awesome community. The staff is 100% very professional and friendly.

Fantastic experience: Great facility and community!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff. Clean facilities. Great work outs. Kudos to the staff and their amazing commitment to health, safety and wellness.

Fantastic experience: If you want to get fit and have fun doing it, RCCF is the place to be! I've been a member for a little over a year now and I'm in the process of becoming the fittest I've ever been. The people and the coaches are the best! I just wish I had of joined sooner!

Fantastic experience: Great people here make for a great experience.

Fantastic experience: Incredible trainers, great workouts, amazing community atmosphere!

Fantastic experience: Royal City Crossfit was my first experience at a crossfit gym. The coaching an environment are fantastic. People are welcoming and you quickly become part of the family. The workouts are always challenging and fun and keep you wanting more. Sad to have left the city but loved my 2 years at Royal City Crossfit!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic community of people with knowledgeable, fun and energetic coaching. Great facility.

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Royal City CrossFit for several years. Craig & his staff are friendly, knowledgeable and professional. I've done bootcamps & CrossFit classes, and completed a 12-week nutrition challenge with coaching that changed the way I eat. My health & fitness have changed significantly for the better since doing CrossFit regularly; I'm much stronger, have much better endurance, and my quality of life is noticeably better. They're even offering Zoom classes and remote coaching, and have arranged a six week #FitFromHome challenge during COVID-19 restrictions. I would highly recommend checking out Royal City CrossFit!

Fantastic experience: great people

Fantastic experience: Great coaches help you focus on form and mobility before pushing weight, and the athletes are all very welcoming. I have been with RCCF for four months now and have noticed considerable improvements in my mobility. As someone with knee injuries I can recommend RCCF as a box for anyone looking to improve their health as the coaches help to scale workouts for all levels.

Fantastic experience: A great CrossFit box with lots of different class options both in timing and type of class (i.e CrossFit, Bootcamp and CrossFit Football). Lots of equipment and space that make for great classes.

Fantastic experience: My Royal City CrossFit experience has been fantastic. Over the last 4 years I've grown stronger and feel better than I ever have thanks to the great coaching and encouragement that I have received! Bernie Perry

Fantastic experience: Royal City CrossFit is more than a gym to me. The coaches and athletes are an extension of my family. We share stories of our lives outside the gym and celebrate our personal achievements at the gym. I have learned so much about myself and what I am capable of due to Craig and his staff. Thank you Craig!!!

Fantastic experience: great workout environment, tight knit community, awesome coaches

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best Crossfit box in the city

Fantastic experience: As someone who exercises regularly and has visited multiple Crossfit gyms I can truly say Royal City has the best environment of them all. You're immediately part of the 'family' from the second you walk in the door. The coaching is great and the variety of equipment is fantastic!

Fantastic experience: My husband and I have found a lot of benefit in joining Royal City CrossFit. Not only with strength training but also the friendship with our fellow crossfit light class participants.

Fantastic experience: I love this place! Great community and great coaches!

Fantastic experience: Royal City Crossfit is the best gym in town. Its a great community to be a part of and has really helped me meet my fitness and nutrition goals. Excellent coaching and lots of class times to choose from. From bootcamp, football training or regular Crossfit, there's something for people of all fitness levels to get into.

Fantastic experience: I tried several different body building gyms around Guelph for years before finding Royal City Crossfit. After being a member for 3+ years now, I haven't looked back. The coaches are professional, the equipment is excellent and every class brings something different to fitness. If you're looking for a challenge that isn't intimidating, this is the place!

Fantastic experience: Great coaches, amazing atmosphere! If you are looking for a tight knit fit community, this should be your only stop in Guelph :)

Fantastic experience: So much fun and such a welcoming community. It’s made “going to the gym” something I look forward to, not something I dread!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym and people. I was very intimidated joining a CrossFit gym but Royal City made it easy and fun. The community here is outstanding and welcoming. I recommend this place to all my friends any anyone looking for try CrossFit out.

Fantastic experience: RCCF changed my perception of group workouts! I've been a member since April (2019) and I've really enjoyed everything RCCF has to offer. Who knew I'd be getting up at 6am on weekdays to lift heavy things! Couldn't recommend them enough.

Fantastic experience: Pearl and I attend the CrossFit light sessions Tuesday and Thursday mornings. These sessions are geared to seniors who want to maintain good posture, flexibility, strength and balance. All ages are welcome. The sessions are relaxed and friendly.

Fantastic experience: Royal City CrossFit is a great place to make a true life change or for a quick out of town drop in class. The large location and variety of equipment makes a great experience and the class members are very friendly and welcoming. Great coaching, plenty of parking and there is a good chance there will be a dog to pet as well! I have been to over 25 different CrossFit boxes and this one is at the top!

Fantastic experience: Fitness was never apart of my daily routine prior to starting at Royal City but I know can't imagine if it wasn't! Strong community support, friendly environment and amazing coaches! My life has improved greatly since I walked in the doors at RCF. It's where I met my wife!

Fantastic experience: Royal City Crossfit is an awesome gym to work out at. I have always kept an active lifestyle with work, sports and going to the gym but never realized my potential until I started going to this gym. The coaches, owner and members are all great. They push you while making sure you're doing the movements safely. I would highly recommend trying it out if you're thinking about it.

Fantastic experience: Royal City CrossFit is an absolute gem in the Guelph fitness scene. If you are looking for high quality coaching an environment filled with supportive, friendly, and non-judgemental members this is the place for you. If you've ever struggled to stick with a workout routine, it won't be a problem anymore. Their workout programming is excellent an caters to athletes at all levels of fitness. There is never a need to feel intimidated by any of the movements - at Royal City CrossFit scaling is not a crime. The staff and members at this gym will inspire you to be a better version of yourself. Do yourself a favour and reach out for a tour/introduction.

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere and sense of community. The instructors make it very enjoyable.

Fantastic experience: Moved here from Ottawa back in Sept. Great facility, great coaches!

Fantastic experience: Royal City CrossFit is straight up amazing. I had wanted to try CrossFit for a long time but felt so intimidated by the thought of it. Once finally making the choice to jump in, my only regret was not starting sooner. Everyone is so welcoming and the coaches are so encouraging and knowledgeable. Since becoming a member, I have never been more motivated to get to the gym. I actually look forward to each workout (even if it includes burpees or wall balls!). I am so thankful to have found this amazing place and such an incredible community at Royal City CrossFit!

Fantastic experience: Great community atmosphere. Great coaches ! Friendly welcoming and encouraging.

Fantastic experience: Never done Cross fit before. These guys make you feel like part of the family. The workouts are amazing, I am always sore, this is a good time going!!!

Fantastic experience: I was recommended Royal City CrossFit around 2.5 years ago, and after becoming a member here shortly after I haven’t regretted it once! The gym community is amazing, and experienced and qualified coaches make sure that you’re safe and well cared for at all times. Working out in an environment like Royal City makes going to the gym fun, and it’s rewarding to watch yourself and the people around grow as athletes. I would HIGHLY recommend Royal City CrossFit to anyone who is interested!

Fantastic experience: 10/10 best gym you’ll go to in Guelph. The best trainers, the best parties, and the best members. Would recommend it to EVERYONE!!

Fantastic experience: Very accommodating to an out of towner. Friendly group of people, good coaching, and a good facility.

Fantastic experience: Crossfit can be intimidating but not at Royal City. Coaches are knowledgeable and helpful and the members are friendly and welcoming!

Fantastic experience: This gym has been my second home for the past 5+ years. It has variety (workout preferences, times, memberships, and equipment), great coaches, and a community that will support you, no matter where you are in your own journey. You can see your new-found crew at the gym working out or socializing outside of class hours but it all starts at Royal City Crossfit!

Fantastic experience: Royal city is the best crossfit gym you'll ever go to. The coaches are friendly, skilled, and knowledgable. The members are friendly and welcoming.
