Between The Bumpers Fitness & Nutrition

Fantastic experience: Recently joined and absolutely love it! Workouts , staff, facilities, professional, knowledgeable…top notch! Need I say more?! Join today, you won’t be disappointed:):)

Fantastic experience: If you're looking for a welcoming and safe community of people to join you on your health journey, this gym is right up your alley. I am not a "gym person". Like most people I struggle staying consistant, and with motivation. I do better with someone telling me when to arrive, for how long, what to do, how many times and with how much weight. Otherwise I simply won't work as hard as I know I can. The level of knowledge that the coaching staff has is far superior than what you will find at the big franchises. As a health professional, it matters to me that the coaches are qualified to prevent me from getting injured. If youre looking for the cheapest place to get your workout in, this isnt for you. The core values of the owners revolve around community, accountability, consistency, and implement the most current trends behind strength training for men amd women. In my opinion it's even better than personal training, as I get to have nearly 1 on 1 coaching, but with my supportive gym friends who celebrate every bit of progress and success with me. Join to get in the best shape of your life, stay for the great community and relationships you will gain.

Fantastic experience: Between the Bumpers gym is one of a kind! The respectful, intelligent and caring focus by Sam and Brett on form, aids in exceptional progress in strength, mobility and general fitness of participants. The coaches are super at modifying workouts so that each individual is able to progress at their own rate. An atmosphere of acceptance and sincere encouragement also supports the drive to succeed and improve. I’m forever grateful for the caring and well attuned structure at BTB.

Fantastic experience: Super informed experts who make you feel great about yourself!

Fantastic experience: I joined this club in October with a group of dragon boat friends. Sam and his team developed a training program to help us prepare for next dragon boat season. Haven’t been a gym since COVID. Love this gym, trainers give options, very personalized suggestions, friendly, dynamic, it’s a fun, challenging place to work out…

Fantastic experience: Between the Bumpers is the best gym I've ever been a member at. Small classes allow you to really get to know the community--something many of us are lacking these days! Very awesome group of people and excellent, patient coaches who want to see you succeed. A ton of programs from personal training, group classes, cross-training to youth training groups and pre & post-natal fitness. Would recommend to anyone I know as it's great for all ages and abilities.

Fantastic experience: I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Sam for many years. We competed with and against each other on the gridiron, and seeing the passion he had for football, being applied to training his clients and business, has been incredible to watch. His attention to detail and knowledge of human kinetics, sets him apart from many coaches. On top of the fact that he is an absolute stud of an athlete, so you know he will walk the talk! If you are looking to join a fitness community, between the bumpers will provide you with top tier professionalism, while making you a part of the family!

Fantastic experience: Yoga was always my go to.. but I am really enjoying my early morning weight training, I started in semi-private and moved into the larger groups. I feel great and love the community feel. I look forward to the journey of wellness!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic facility and coaches. I had a lot of nervousness about starting a gym program but BTB is so supportive I look forward to attending!

Fantastic experience: Our teens have been attending the youth classes for 2 years now and love it. The class is a great introduction into fitness and learning how to use gym equipment safely and properly. The coaches are able to create fun and competitive games while the group improve their athletic abilities, coordination and strength. We have seen both of our kids improve at their sports since joining BTB. Thanks coaches!

Fantastic experience: I first reached out to BTB in July 2023, while working full-time in a high-pressure management role. I was looking for a way to prioritize my well-being, improve my mental health, and get in better shape (yes, trim off a bit of that “beef” too!). My journey with BTB has been incredible, involving personal training and semi private sessions. I’ve quickly become obsessed with this gym - from the top-notch atmosphere and cleanliness to the expert coaching and the sense of camaraderie. Thanks to the guidance and support here, I now feel stronger and more confident than ever. I’m excited to take the next step and move into group fitness classes. Coach Sarah’s achievements have been a huge source of inspiration for me, motivating me to keep pushing myself, get even stronger, and aim for 1,000 classes. .

Fantastic experience: I recently attended a one day comp at BTB. What a fantastic experience! The programming was thoughtful, fun and exciting. The gym space and additional amenity space are extremely well kept. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. If you live in the West end of Ottawa and you enjoy high intensity functional fitness, I would strongly recommend dropping in for a visit.

Fantastic experience: Awesome place to get fit! I’m new to a lot of the exercises and the coaches are constantly giving me individual attention in classes to improve my technique. What I noticed right away was everyone was super friendly, welcoming, and supportive. Vibes are immaculate!

Fantastic experience: Between the Bumpers is the best gym around! The facility is well equipped and spacious with trainers that are extremely knowledgeable and motivating.

Fantastic experience: BTB is a beautiful facility with excellent coaches and a great community of patrons. The atmosphere is inclusive and welcoming to all.

Fantastic experience: Can’t say enough about this gym or the coaches! Changed my life. I feel younger and stronger than I did 10 years ago. I still don’t understand why everyone isn’t joining!!! The number of people who say to me that I inspire them is insane. I never thought at my age I would be doing pull-ups or lifting heavy weights but here I am!! The body is capable of so much more than we think. You just have to have the mindset and BTB give you all the tools for success. Thanks Sam Sabourin for doing what you do!!!

Fantastic experience: This gym has been the BEST for me. The coaches are amazing, the facility well equipped and I am stronger than I have ever been. So happy to be a part of this amazing community

Fantastic experience: It's been just over a year since I walked in the door for my No Sweat Consultation and On-Boarding. Felt welcoming and inclusive from that moment on. Although I have a long way to go, this is the first gym experience in my 58 years where I've had the motivation to commit the time that's enabled me to benefit from the results of getting stronger and relief of the chronic pain I've suffered from for the last 25 years. Check them out. You won't regret it!!!

Fantastic experience: Amazing group of trainers and clientele. I was made to feel welcome from the first minute inside the door. So glad to have found this gym.

Fantastic experience: BTB fosters a supportive and encouraging community to cheer you on your fitness goals! The coaches are friendly and professional, and the facility is beautiful, clean and filled with all the equipment you need. It's an awesome place to workout :)

Fantastic experience: I met with Sam who took the extra time to fully understand my goals and explain his process and facility. What a great spot Sam has here on the outskirts of Stittsville. If you want to up your training without a bloated contract and a stuffed gym full of machines with lines next to them... Reach out to Sam at BtB and you'll be happy for sure!

Fantastic experience: BTB is a friendly and welcoming gym for all ages and athletic abilities. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and caring, easily making adaptions to exercises for those in need.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member at Between the Bumpers for two years. The atmosphere is very welcoming, which is created by the supportive approach taken by the experienced and knowledgeable coaching staff. The facility and equipment is clean, modern and organized. This gym is for everyone at any fitness level, I can't recommend them enough.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to BTB Fitness from last 5 months and it has been fantastic. I had problems with my knee, ankle and shoulder and I am seeing a lot of improvements. Sam and Peter are my trainer and they are one of the best. Its the best investment I have made. Highly recommended if you really want to see the difference in your daily life.

Fantastic experience: This gym is top notch. They strive to help you progress in your training. The on ramp and introductory nutrition program is well worth it. The on ramp personal training sessions help you learn and gain confidence in your abilities. The coaches (Emily was my coach) work with you to focus on your abilities and help you build on them. Arden provided great support and focused on building new eating habits which was very beneficial. Group classes are a challenge but it’s the challenge I need to get my health on track. All the staff is great. Super friendly and knowledgeable and the first to give you positive reinforcement. I had tried other gyms but never stuck with it but this one works for me.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at Between the Bumpers for just over three years now, and it’s easily the best fitness community I’ve ever been part of. The group classes are challenging, motivating, and always well-coached with every session feels structured and purposeful. The coaches do a great job of meeting you where you’re at while still pushing you to improve at your pace. I also took advantage of their in-house physiotherapy after a recent injury, and it made a huge difference. The physiotherapist and coaching staff helped me get back to full training much faster than I expected, with smart modifications and solid rehab support along the way. If you’re looking for a gym that combines excellent coaching, supportive community, and real expertise in movement and recovery, Between the Bumpers is it.

Fantastic experience: The coaches challenge me to get stronger. The coaches are friendly and helpful. I love my workouts and I highly recommend going to between the bumpers.

Fantastic experience: I started going to BTB Fitness back in June and I couldn't be more satisfied with my experience. Excellent instructors, top class facility and a very healthy vibe - no egos, no cliques, no attitudes. Everyone is incredibly friendly and there is a relentless focus on technique, quality instruction and client safety. Highly recommended.

The coaches are highly professional, friendly, polite and are great motivators! The workouts are top notch and are a lot of fun! I feel energized after each workout! Prior to our WOD’s, we do amazing stretches which help me get the most out of my workouts! The gym is very clean and well organized! Their nutritional program is manageable, and leaves me feeling good about myself! The members are kind and friendly, hence, provide a positive atmosphere! Between the Bumpers is the best place I’ve ever been a part of. Thank you BTB!

Fantastic experience: Beautiful facility, with super supportive coaches and members. After three years on the couch, I was ready to get moving again.

Fantastic experience: Between the Bumpers is the first time I've had someone else programming for me, and I could not have had a better experience!! Sam catered the program to my knee rehab and goals, and was always available to answer my questions and concerns. Whether you're just looking to start out in the gym, or a seasoned athlete; BTB will have a fit for you!

Fantastic experience: The coach is out of this world amazing! He consistently provides an encouraging and motivating environment for each class, and genuinely cares about every member of the gym. He takes the time to modify each exercise to fit those with different needs (injuries, strength, experience, age, etc...) and provides coaching throughout the whole class. Even though the classes are done in groups, it feels like a personal training session each time. Honestly could not be happier with my experience at Between the Bumpers!!!

Fantastic experience: By far the best online coaching I’ve ever experienced. All the workouts are in the app making it incredibly convenient to use. Additionally there are detailed descriptions and videos on how to complete each exercise. Coaches are easy to get in touch with as well. I’ve been using their built strength program for a month and have been loving it. Would definitely recommend their online coaching for new or advanced athletes or anyone in between!

Fantastic experience: Sam is an incredible coach. He's not only extremely knowledgeable with a lot of experience but is personable and an excellent communicator. He coached me through pregnancy and was able to provide multiple scaling options ensuring that I did movements which were safe for my body but still challenged me and kept me fit right through to the end. Sam always has a huge smile on his face, a bad joke to tell and doesn't take himself to seriously. I really looked forward to each workout and training session with Sam.

Fantastic experience: I love BTB! Sam is everything and more you could ever want in a coach! The workouts are challenging and over all a great time! We all push ourselves harder than we would at a regular gym, plus the group training sessions always have the best music to pump you up! I think everyone should try a workout here at least once, you’ll never want to stop attending!

Fantastic experience: Sam and his staff are incredibly experienced. They have a wealth of knowledge whether you are looking to lose weight, build muscle/strength, or rehab a serious injury. Not only do they provide great training online/in person but they built an online community where people can share with one another and where they constantly write/provide articles to help with all aspects of your life. Sam takes all suggestions and implements them right away because he is always looking to grow.

Fantastic experience: Coach Sam of Between the Bumpers is a truly outstanding coach. Whether you’re just starting out, are rehabilitating an injury, or are a competitive athlete, there is so much to be learned from choosing BTB. Every time you walk into the gym or initiate a conversation with Sam you will know that your goals are his goals and he will go above and beyond to invest time and energy into helping you. Start 2019 off with one of the best investments you’ll make into yourself and sign up with Between the Bumpers!

Fantastic experience: I personally work with Blair and he has been amazing! Sam is also quick to respond if I reach out to him! Everyone on staff is very knowledgeable and accommodating. With a busy schedule sometimes I need workouts altered and moved around and they are always great about working with me. They have been amazing to work with for the past 9 months, as a former professional athlete I feel like I have a lot of knowledge of stregnth and conditioning but they do such a great job of programming that saves me time that I would highly recommend working with them! They also keep me honest and make me do more leg workouts then I would if I were making up my own programs!

Fantastic experience: Signed up for the Swift Strength program and really enjoying it. The workouts provide a great blend of strength, conditioning, and mobility. The workouts appear on the app as scheduled with easy to follow videos of all exercises. Fully recommend!

Fantastic experience: BTB has been great so far. I signed up for the custom training program and I’ve felt that it’s met my needs perfectly.

Highly Recommended.

Fantastic experience: I came to Sam Sabourin post labrum surgery with goals to rehab and comeback for my fourth university football season. I remember him saying "I would love to help you get back out there and put together a serious rehab program for you," and he did just that! He was always available to answer my questions and guide me throughout the process.

Fantastic experience: Awesome environment to get some quality training in! Sam is super positive and easy going. I am totally recommending this place for anyone looking to improve their fitness and attain their goals! #BTB

Fantastic experience: As a trainer, Sam is extremely knowledgeable and creates programs that are easy to follow and convenient to look up, even during training. The programs are easy to follow, and has always been quick to reply to any questions that I have. He is highly personable and cares about the success of each client. The online platform Between The Bumpers offers is convenient as an app and tells you exactly when and what to do, but also has flexibility with conflicting schedules. It's easy to follow and intuitive. I just finished Phase 1 of my first 6-week program and just about to start Phase 2! I've already noticed physical changes in my body composition and significantly increased weight in my squat, deadlift, and bench press. Amazing programs and an even better trainer!

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough about Sam. He is personable, hard working and incredibly knowledgeable. Easily one of the best strength trainers I've ever had the privilege of working with.

I would highly recommend this training regime for anyone who is a former athlete or for anyone who is new to the gym and wants some guidance.

Fantastic experience: I have been using BTB programming for about a year now and I am more than impressed with the service provided.

The BTB trainers provide fantastic resources in order to achieve what you want and the fitness app is a great way to track your workouts and progress. Highly recommend joining BTB!

Fantastic experience: Between the Bumpers offers great programs with great coaches! I joined the BTB online program, and was thoroughly happy. It’s a program that was affordable and also convenient to do on my own. It’s customizable, has demo videos for each exercise and alternate exercises in case you don’t have the equipment it calls for. Best of all, the feedback the coaches provide is super helpful and encouraging. Coach Sam was always there for me, and able to help me stay on track when I ran into injuries or distribution in my program - which is huge since the hardest part of training for me is staying consistent. Over and above the programs, BTB has a supportive online community and really helpful online resources.

Fantastic experience: I recently joined the online team at Between the Bumpers and I cannot express enough how valuable and positive the experience has been for me. Joining the online team has given me a structured approach to a complete weight training program that has provided me with immediate physical and mental benefits. The actual structure of the weight training program is detailed and provides me with clear instructions to maximize my already limited time to work out. The Between the Bumpers team also offers a unique mobile app with every detail you need to complete a workout. This also includes demo videos of exercises you may have not performed before and a detailed library of your historical workouts that you input to record your progress. In addition to this, the team provides mobility exercises through their online app which is often forgotten by other programs. Furthermore, one of the biggest benefits the Between the Bumpers team offers is the online coaching. Because you will be performing new and exciting exercises/lifts, the Between the Bumpers team offers online coaching and corrections of your technique through their user friendly online portal. This is important to my overall health and development – Sam has shown he is knowledgeable in correcting my technique and does so in a positive matter while responding promptly. This ultimately has reduced the number of injuries that could occur at the gym and increased my personal gains. Physically I've never felt better but more importantly, this program has given me the confidence to succeed in the gym by providing a complete approach and foundation to working out. I began the program in the New Year and the Between the Bumpers team has exceeded my expectations for this type of service, they have helped change the way I approach working out which has reignited my passion for better living.
