Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough great things about CF Renfrew. From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed and supported by both coaches and the amazing community. The atmosphere is inclusive, encouraging and truly makes you want to show up and give your best. The coaches are knowledgeable, motivating and genuinely invested in helping each member reach their goals, whether you’re a beginner or an experienced athlete- they focus on proper form, scaling options and personal progress ensuring everyone feels challenged yet safe. It’s clear the owners have created a space that is more than a gym- it’s a community. The camaraderie and positive energy is second to none. Cannot recommend this place enough, drop in to see what I mean.

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Renfrew Strength + Conditioning Is like no other gym I’ve been a member of. Megan and John have created an environment that is welcoming, encouraging and fun. They’re dedicated to challenging members to work to their potential, while being mindful of individual needs and limitations. I look forward to every class and would recommend Renfrew to anyone who wants to be part of a supportive gym community.There is absolutely no better time than now to take the leap, come see for yourself just how awesome this gym is, you will not regret it!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of many different gyms over the years, and none are comparable to CrossFit Renfrew Strength and Conditioning. Megan and John have created the most welcoming, inclusive, encouraging community you will find in Nova Scotia. Every workout can be scaled to your personal goals. I’m over fifty - if I can do it, you can too! Check them out!

Fantastic experience: I have always wanted to try CrossFit but the visual of people defying gravity and swinging off bars and ropes intimidated me greatly. My goal of 2023 was to do something new and I told myself, “you just need to make it in the door” and try it once. As soon as I walked into Renfrew in October 2023, I was met by Megan (one of the owners) who called me by name, introduced me to the CrossFit community members there that morning and I instantly felt comfortable. I find I have more energy for my children and family, more physical strength and capacity to sift through a work-life balance that I am proud of. Thank you Renfrew!

Tristan Conrod 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: Awesome small gym. Literally has everything you need and nothing you don’t. Coming from someone who was used to the corporate vibe of fit4less, this place feels like an actual gym. The plates are made of actual metal? GoodLife could never. My only wish was that the hours were a little bit more extended so I could go more easily after work.

Fantastic experience: Renfrew is the gym to be at!! I have been lifting for many years and have been to multiple different gyms and I have never been to one as clean or as well run as Renfrew. I truly found it to be such a welcoming environment and Megan was extremely helpful with answering any questions and was super kind and welcoming. Would definitely recommend Renfrew for anyone looking for a new gym!

Fantastic experience: I was a member 10ish years ago and loved it then but had to leave - more a work issue than a gym issue. Fast forward 10 years and that other gym closing. My first thought was Renfrew. Such a great experience previously. Well, as great an experience as I had with the gym under Mark, Evan and Brandon, they must be incredibly gratified at what John and Megan have done! I started as an open gym membership in Nov 2023 and by April 2024, a full on Crossfit member. Megan and John have built an AMAZING community on both sides of their gym - open gym and Crossfit. They are uncannily connected with their members and encourage community! I am so unbelievably glad to be back and so very happy with the growth I’ve seen in me! Such an amazing environment

Renfrew Strength and Conditioning Center

Thank you so much Tanya!!

Heather Smith 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I’d give this gym 10 stars if I could! I was in town visiting family from Ontario for a week and attended CF Renfrew while I was there. Not only was Megan (the owner) super accommodating and delightful to deal with, but the facility was very well maintained and the community welcomed me with open arms. As an experienced CrossFitter, I also thoroughly enjoyed the programming - never over programmed and I left every day feeling like I was able to hit the proper stimulus. However it was also very modifiable for anyone who was newer or deconditioned, or just need to dial it back that day. I’d recommend this gym to anyone travelling looking to do a drop in, or to anyone in town looking for a new facility. To be honest if the commute wasn’t so far I’d probably consider changing gyms!

Thank you so much heather. We loved having you!!! Come back soon!!!

Emily MacNeil 2 years ago

Negative experience: Everything’s going downhill in the era of new ownership at renfrew. Out with the old (strongman, powerlifting, oly lifting) and in with the new (crossfit). The old members feel unwelcome.

Renfrew Strength and Conditioning Center

Hi Emily,Thank you for taking the time to review CrossFit Renfrew Strength + Conditioning. Our priority as owners of Renfrew, one of whom has been a member since 2014, is to maintain an inclusive environment for all to train, regardless of training modality. A place where individual goals find common ground. With that in mind, we consulted and included our top level Powerlifters, Strongmen and Weightlifters on all decisions relating to our new gym layout to ensure our space was conducive for all to train. With regards to “oly lifting”, we are a Registered Weightlifting Club with Weightlifting Nova Scotia. Further, both of our owners are NCCP Certified coaches and compete internationally in the sport. All of the changes we have made are intended to ensure the long-term viability of the gym and to preserve the vision of the original owners. Our records indicate you have not visited Renfrew since 2022-12-06. I would encourage you to pop in for a workout or maybe even a CrossFit class! We would love to have you! -Team Renfrew:John Garden &Megan Apostoleris

Beth Williams 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Until I stepped into Renfrew I had always been nervous to attempt CrossFit. The moment I did my first class at Renfrew, I fell in love. The coaches truly care about every person that steps through their doors and it shows. Every workout can be scaled to your level, so whether you have years of experience or non at all, they’ve got you covered. Keep up the good work team, you’re building an amazing gym culture!

Thank you so much for the review. We are so happy you now love CrossFit and the Renfrew community as much as we do. Keep up the great work!!
