Alchemy Fitness: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Alchemy is hands down the best gym in Hamilton! I’ve been to many gyms in Toronto and abroad, and the coaches here are incredibly approachable and truly invested in helping you succeed. The community is warm and welcoming—I’ve met such amazing people. Excited to keep improving and growing.
Wow! Thanks for such an amazing review Rozhin
Fantastic experience: This place is a stand out. For anyone considering joining–do it. For anyone intimidated by crossfit–don't be. Alchemy welcomes all levels of fitness and they make adjustments to fit your abilities. Coaching staff here are in a league of their own. Knowledgable, approachable and all round really good people. I wish I had joined sooner, the highlight of my week!
WOW! Thanks Caroline this is such a thoughtful review. We really appreciate it!
Fantastic experience: I've been doing Crossfit for several years and this is the 3rd gym that I've been a member at. What sets Alchemy apart is the sense of belonging you feel when you join the community. We often partner up for workouts, not because of equipment or space restrictions, but simply to support each other whilst achieving individual goals. The coaches and staff are all knowledgeable, professional, and truly care about each member. There are also boxing classes, which are super fun and a great way to learn new skills. Love my gym!!
Zahra! This is such a sweet review. Thank you so muchWe love you too!
Fantastic experience: Great facility! Great coaching and programming! Thank you Andrew for leading the class and to the members for being so welcoming! 100% will visit again.
Thanks so much for visiting Doug! Hope to see you again
Fantastic experience: I was worried that I wouldn't be able to keep up or that I wouldn't find the time to make it worth my membership. 5 years later, and I'm so grateful for the community at Alchemy. The coaches are great, and class workouts are motivating. Just show up at the class you've signed up for, and you'll leave the building amazed at what you did.
Angela, this is so sweet! Thankful for having you with us for the last 5 years!
Fantastic experience: Alchemy is a warm welcoming gym with a workout for everyone. The staff and coaches are the best and I would highly recommend coming out to Alchemy to see for yourself.
Fantastic experience: I drop into Alchemy every time I am traveling for business in the Hamilton area, I plan my accommodations so I am within a few minute drive. The gym venue itself is clean and well cared for. I always get a good workout, and great coaching even as a drop in! The coaches knowledge beyond CrossFit is appreciated. I love the post workout stretching built into the class. Definitely a gym to call home if you live in the area, or a perfect spot to drop into. Sign up in advance or email them to reserve your spot.
Thanks so much for always dropping in and the kind review Brian! Hope to see you again soon

Thanks a lot Brandon!
Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend this gym enough! It truly embodies the essence of a CrossFit community. The coaches are not only professional but also incredibly friendly and supportive. The facility is impressively organized and spotlessly clean, which adds to the overall positive experience. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or just starting your fitness journey, this gym provides the perfect environment for growth and achievement.
Thanks so much for all the kind words Ali!

Thanks Felipe! You are a pleasure to work with!
Fantastic experience: the best place to exercise, CrossFit, boxing, weight lifting etc, in Hamilton, the coaches are excellent and the environment friendly. The place is fully equipped and has everything you need for the class to be satisfactory, it exceeded my expectations.
Thank you so much for all the positive feedback!
Fantastic experience: A much deserved 5 star! Staying in an Airbnb here in Hamilton (from Alberta) to assist my dad undergoing heart surgery/recovery. I was searching for a CrossFit Gym to bring some normalcy into my life while going between the Airbnb and the hospital & Alchemy Fitness was SOOOO incredibly kind in welcoming me into the gym, Jenna signed me up, made it easy for me, & provided access to the classes through their app! I will definitely be back & will consider this gym as my “home gym” when I’m back in Ontario!! Thank you so so much Jenna, Janet, Anita, Andrew & team!! ❤️❤️ Grateful for you all!
Thank you so much for dropping in! We hope to see you back again!
Fantastic experience: I love this gym! Initially I use to go for shoulder and neck pain but now I show up and workout because I love it .. the coaches are very supportive and they will always support you and adjust the workout if you need it
Thanks so much for the kind words Nabih! We love having you as part of our community
Fantastic experience: Great coaches and a very friendly environment. I am happy to be part of this supportive community where there is always an event or a way to build relationships :)
We appreciate you taking the time to leave such kind words Diana!
Fantastic experience: Great coaches Supportive members Solid workouts Spacious space. (Not sure if that makes sense)
Glad you enjoy our 'Spacious Space' Jeff!
Fantastic experience: Nice place. Clean and lots of equipment
Fantastic experience: Super nice and knowledgeable coaches! Feels like a huge community!!
Fantastic experience: Great gym, great atmosphere, awesome coaches
Thanks very much Matt!
Fantastic experience: Some of the best people and best community I've ever trained with!
Fantastic experience: Amazing community of athletes and trainers. You belong here ❤️
Fantastic experience: Did a training session with my buddy at this location. The trainer was understanding of everyone's level of fitness and gave sound guidance to each of the members.
Fantastic experience: Amazing coaches and fantastic community! Love the variety of programming and have always felt safe without the risk of injury during class. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Awesome experience at Alchemy since joining late last year. Has made going to back to the gym enjoyable. This place is led by some great people including the coaches, admin staff and owners. I highly recommended this experience for those looking for a change and some motivation.
Fantastic experience: If you’re not interested in being judged or that cultish environment some gyms have then this is the place for you. Everyone’s super friendly and welcoming and the coaching is unparalleled in the fitness industry - the focus is on community-building, not performance (though your personal drive is certainly supported if performing is your goal). Functional fitness is where this gym excels.
Fantastic experience: I love this gym. I’ve been working out on and off for 20 years and this is by far by favourite. All the coaches are amazing and will adapt the workout to your knowledge and skill level. I was scared to try the “cross fit” classes but honestly, with the community cheering you on, it feels like you can do anything. Try boxing and endurance classes as well, they are intense in the best way! Special shout out to Craig, Janet and Guy.
Fantastic experience: Alchemy hands down the best gym in hamilton. Everyone is welcome no matter age or skill level. Great programming and coaches.
Fantastic experience: Such an awesome place! We were visiting from the UK and needed a place to train during our busy schedule. Anita was super response on emails, flexible and made us feel very welcome. The coaches are great, the workouts are well planned and the space is perfect. Can't wait to train here again in the future. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: We were visiting from NJ and needed a place to workout for the week. Anita and Jenna were super responsive and helpful with getting everything set up on the admin side, and the coaches (Patrick, Janet and Craig) were very helpful before and during the classes. I’m rehabbing an injury and they ensured I had safe, effective scaling options and they checked in frequently throughout the class. The community was welcoming and fun as well! This will be our go-to gym whenever we’re in town.
Fantastic experience: Alchemy fitness is a wonderful community. If you are not sure about CrossFit or a little intimated, there are all typer of people with all types of fitness levels. Something for everyone. The coaches make you feel comfortable and just want you to get better! They can help modify if you aren't sure about a movement or challenge you if they know you can handle it. Super fun environment with people just looking to exercise and have some laughs.
Thanks for sharing your experience Kaitlin and we are so happy you found us! We love having you at Alchemy
Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere, very inviting and the coaches are absolutely amazing. They make sure to spend time with everyone in the class! Love the music and environment as well. Highly recommend for anyone looking to get into CrossFit.
Thank you Shawn
Fantastic experience: Great place to workout! Super supportive environment for all skill levels, and plenty of opportunities to gain strength and confidence through the guided workouts. The coaches are supportive with guidance on building your capacity and understanding the exercises to avoid injury. Try it out, you'll love it!
Fantastic experience: I moved to Hamilton last year and was looking for a CrossFit place. I was so lucky to find Alchemy! Coaches were very attentive to direct my progress and to adjust the workouts to my level. I’ve learned many things and techniques during my period in here. I achieved new PRs, coaches were always supportive to push myself to the next level. Whether you are a beginner in CrossFit or a veteran, I highly recommend this place for you. I felt being around family and really enjoyed my time in every class. I wished I could stay longer but I had to move out for my new job. Thank you Alchemy! From
Fantastic experience: I have recently joined Alchemy Hamilton and am absolutely loving the overall experience. The space is awesome, there's always 2 coaches per class so I feel really supported especially because a lot of the movements are new to me and the sense of community is very welcoming! I was at first hesitant to join, I haven't done cross fit before, but very happy I did, and I would encourage anyone else to as well! At minimum ask for a trial class to see if it would work for you.
Fantastic experience: Awesome classes that challenge you! Coaches are terrific in making sure you perform the moves well and give modifications to scale down when the move isn't feeling great. They have regular challenges to join, a fun atmosphere, and a tiny edge of competitive spirit which pushes you to greatness. I've hit PRs on all my Olympic lifting, rehabbed tendonitis, and dropped 12lbs since I started. Highly recommend in Hamilton and Brantford.
Thanks so much for taking the time to write this Andrew! We are equally glad you started with us!
Fantastic experience: Best Crossfit gym in the Hamilton area by far. This place is a great place to get into (and stay in) shape, they have a wide variety of classes (Crossfit, kettlebell, boxing and yoga classes), and the trainers there really know their stuff. I highly recommend it.
Fantastic experience: Awesome
Fantastic experience: Best Crossfit gym in Hamilton for sure. No better community for fitness exists!

Fantastic experience: I thought I was way too unfit for their classes. After 2 weeks of classes, I can tell you that they will make you feel welcome and capable no matter what your fitness level is.
Love hearing this Susan! Thank you for sharing your experience and we are looking forward to continuing to work with you
Negative experience: Segregationists have no place in society!
Fantastic experience: Great vibe, amazing support from instructors and team members, even if it's your first class. They deliver on their word. Sweat out back is exactly what you're going to get. 1000 step-ups with a partner, pushs you mentally not just physically. Can't get enough of it. Highly recommended to anyone and everyone.
Thanks so much Shai! We can't get enough of you either

Fantastic experience: Went to see about classes. The person I talked to there was very knowledgeable and helpful. They are even open during the covid shut down training out side. They are open 7 days a week and it feels like a good place to work out
Thanks for the kind words Mike! We hope to see you again soon
Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere, everything you need in a crossfit gym.
Fantastic experience: So impressed with this place! Just started in Oct after my other gym closed. Was really apprehensive given how much I loved my previous gym but I have been more than happy with the coaches, facilities, communication, community and general feel of this place! Client safety is their number one priority during these times. They are doing a great job with the online workout options and follow up by a dedicated coach. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for a great place to achieve their fitness goals!
Fantastic experience: Such a great gym. All the coaches are welcoming and patient. Would love to go back when my schedule clears out a bit.
Fantastic experience: Excellent coaches and fabulous community support, in class and online.
Fantastic experience: This is an amazing CrossFit Studio. Before I went to this gym (I was new to CrossFit) I worked out and would consider myself quite athletic. I found the workouts to be efficient (1hr) extremely challenging and a fun time. I mainly trained with one of the trainers named Kyle. Kyle was insightful, friendly and able to push me to my limits. I would recommend Alchemy CrossFit to anyone!
Positive experience: I like that the instructors take the time to teach you the right moves even when it is a full class.
Thanks for the review and kind words Katia! If you have some time shoot us an email at [email protected] to let us know what we could do to make us a 5 -star experience!
Negative experience: It does not get more suspect than crossfit. If you want to flop around like a jabroni and do some wack "exercises" this is the place for you.
Fantastic experience: Alchemy Brantford coaches are amazing here! Duncan and Broder in particular, are very knowledgeable and educated. The community is absolutely wonderful, the people are friendly, make you accountable to showing up, and welcoming 100%! You can always be prepared to challenge yourself, have excellent coaching, and get a great workout in. You won't be disappointed if you give it a try!!
Fantastic experience: Can't say enough good things about this place, by far the best CF coaching and programming I've experienced. Always lots of scaling options provided depending on skill level or other requirements. Coaches genuinely care about helping you improve while prioritizing your safety.
Thanks for the kind words Kasia! Come back to Hamilton and visit us soon!
Fantastic experience: This program isn't for people who are quitters. If you want to be in the best shape of your life and are committed, this is the best place for you. The staff are amazing!!!
Fantastic experience: Alchemy Crossfit is a place where absolutely anyone can go and become accepted, challenged, and motivated like nowhere else. They have unrivaled coaches, an incredible environment, and a strong community that is built on fun, fitness, and friendship.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely stellar group here. As a relative novice coming in they made me feel really comfortable, and helped out every step of the way. Staff are super friendly, and provide really helpful and relevant tips. The workouts are very challenging...in a good way. They always find a way to make it work for each person. Would very strongly recommend checking this place out.
Thanks so much Tom!
Fantastic experience: Dropped in last minute with no problems. Friendly staff. Thanks CrossFit Alchemy!
Thanks so much Kyle! We hope to see you again!
Fantastic experience: Amazing community! The workouts are tough, but there are always people there, including the coaches, that help you get through everything. They are also great about special circumstances/ injuries. Definitely the best gym I've been to.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing CrossFit gym. This was the first gym I ever went to for CrossFit and I haven’t been able to find a comparable place since moving out of Hamilton - I still come back when I can! The coaches are amazing and so is the community. Made me feel really comfortable being brand new to the sport and made me fall in love with it! I love that they focus on safety and technique first and always offer scaled alternatives for injuries and all skill levels. Would recommend to anyone!
Thanks for the kind words, always appreciated. Glad we were able to help you find a new passion!
Fantastic experience: Amazing community fitness centre!! Perfect for every fitness level! Coaches are all amazing! Workouts are always challenging and fun! The members are all so encouraging!
Fantastic experience: Awesome gym. The coaches meet ever person's ability with each workout. Whether your 26 or 62 there is always a great workout at Alchmey.
Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere and coaches.

Fantastic experience: If you find it difficult to actually GO to the gym once you have a membership...or if you want instruction to get a great workout in an hour instead of walking around the gym asking yourself "what should i work out today?" ...or if you are already fit and want a challenge... This place is for you.
Fantastic experience: Great crossfit gym
Fantastic experience: Fantastic facility, holds great events!
Fantastic experience: Great staff. Great members. Great classes. Great facility.

Fantastic experience: Such a great place to go for workout. Coaches are extremely friendly and creative. Love to go there!
Fantastic experience: Knowledgeable, friendly staff. Great workouts! Lots of fun
Fantastic experience: I was a bit intimidated at first, but after I got through my first workout with the amazing coaches, and great community, I was hooked! This isn't just a place to get a great workout in, but also have people you have just met, encourage and cheer you on to finish the workout!! The community here at Alchemy is what has kept me coming back every day for the last 3 years!
Fantastic experience: Having never tried crossfit before and being very intimated by all the fit people you see I couldn't have been happier to have my first experience at Alchemy. The environment was motivating and the community aspect was incredible. The best decision I have made for my health was going to Alchemy and recommend anyone whose thinking of starting crossfit to head here! You won't find a better group of coaches who want nothing but to support you and see you reach your goals. Thank you for being such a positive place for so many people!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic coaches that are very dedicated to what they do. Really appreciated the focus on doing things right and safely to avoid injury. Awesome experience at Alchemy
Fantastic experience: Dropped in for a lunch WOD while in the area - great atmosphere and knowledgable coaching.... Highly recommend!
