CrossFit^® 1855

Fantastic experience: I visited CrossFit 1855 during my stay in Ottawa last month. I was able to get in 3 times that week and experience different coaches and meet a number of gym members. The owner was fantastic. Very welcoming and responsive to my queries. The coaching - lifting in particular, was great. The cues were much appreciated. The classes were busy, organized and friendly. I will definitely be going back during my next stay in Ottawa. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: A gym with an amazing community and very motivating training environment! Very spacious with great equipment. Not enough great things can be said about Andy and the coaches who are very welcoming and supportive. 10/10 recommend

Fantastic experience: Fantastic Crossfit gym in Ottawa with experienced and attentive coaches. I was a member in 2022 when I lived in Ottawa and still drop-in whenever I'm in town. Could not recommend more!

Fantastic experience: I only started CrossFit and Olympic weightlifting recently and I couldn't have picked a better place to learn! The coaches are extremely nice, inclusive of all skill levels, and a wealth of information! Other members are friendly and welcoming and this just creates a really motivating atmosphere! Would highly recommend CrossFit 1855!

Fantastic experience: An extremely welcoming community with well trained and knowledgeable coaches. A flexible class schedule with a mix of CrossFit, athletic conditioning and Olympic weightlifting classes, as well as, Open Gym time to work on skills or to get a workout in when you can't make it to class. The facility is large to accommodate large classes and there is plenty of equipment with the owners always working to ensure damaged equipment is repaired or replaced. The owners genuinely care about the gym and the members and it shows. Highly recommend trying a class or dropping by 1855 when you're in town. You'll love it.

Fantastic experience: Great gym!! Super knowledgeable and welcoming coaches and owners, and they have an awesome drop-in policy for visitors. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Thank you Andy and coaches for welcoming me to your gym. Your location is ideally close to my parents place and provides such a needed break from the sitting that occurs during these visits.

Fantastic experience: I was looking for a place to train while I was in Ottawa. 1855 was more than welcoming. Great environment and super friendly people. Not to mention challenging but fun workouts.

Fantastic experience: I was looking for a good place to train when I visit Ottawa and I've definitely found it! 1855 is an awesome space with all the kit you can think off. If you're a travelling crossfitter or someone looking to get into CrossFit then you should definitely check this place out

Fantastic experience: Awesome facility, super friendly community and professional coaches!

Fantastic experience: I dropped in to 1855 for the week that I spent in Ottawa. Everyone was really friendly and welcoming, and I hugely appreciate that the owners don't gouge drop-ins. When you travel a lot, going from gym to gym can get really expensive, and I appreciate that the owners understand that and charged accordingly. Programming and coaching was great, and it's nice big space with all the equipment you need. I am already living in my new 1855 sweatshirt! Thanks Andy and team for a great week of fitness - I will definitely be back!

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Staff is very knowledgeable and welcoming and everyone is welcoming as well. Definitely recommend this place

Fantastic experience: Happy to have somewhere to practice parkour again

Fantastic experience: Spacious, well-equipped gym that welcomes visitors from other boxes. Coach Mo made the workout real and fun with a great sense of humour.

Fantastic experience: This is my absolute favorite crossfit gym in Ottawa to drop in on. I wish it was my home gym! Amazing vibe for both competitive and recreational athletes. Challenging workouts, excellent and attentive coaching and a very well stocked gym. Owners are very generous with their time offering a lot of open gym spots as well. Highly recommend becoming a member here!

Fantastic experience: I'm proud to say I was on of the OG members at 1855. Steve and Andy are two of the most welcoming guys and they've built such an amazing community. I've recommended this place hand over foot and will continue to!

Fantastic experience: Quality coaches and great programming with appropriate scales to empower each individual in their fitness journey. As a community, can't ask for more with the friendly and welcoming environment.

Fantastic experience: Another great workout. Thanks Steve and Andy!!

Fantastic experience: Before Quarantine started I was fortunate enough to get my hands on a barbell along with weight plates. I have been to 1855 a handful of times previously for Crossfit and all great experiences. But as things started I saw the gym share there schedule on Instagram and noticed they were still running Olympic Lifting classes through Zoom. Due to my work schedule I haven't been able to attend them previously and wanted to get back into Olympic Lifting. And right away I was blown away with the amount of individual attention Andy (the coach) was able to provide to all the people in the class. Almost every time I stepped up to the Barbell their would be some sort of feedback given to improve my lift. This is incomparable to any class I've done in person so I was very impressed to say the least. The class runs extremely smooth from start to finish and have seen only progress since starting these online classes. I'd recommend these zoom classes to absolutely anyone from someone with a small interest in the Olympic lifts to high level National lifters. With or without equipment would say to give these classes a shot. Great atmosphere and has been keeping me sane during quarantine.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym! One of the friendliest I've ever been to and the coaches were not only super helpful during classes but took the time to get to know everyone there. Cannot recommend enough.

Fantastic experience: I joined CrossFit 1855 last summer and I wasn’t too sure what to expect but it has surpassed my expectation in so many ways! Not knowing what exactly the workouts were like or the atmosphere, the coaches and athletes welcomed me into the community right away. The workouts are great and are for everyone. I love the variety of classes with athletic conditioning, Cross Fit, yoga and the zoom workouts are great! I have met some amazing friends and workout partners. Andy and Steve, the coaches, and all the athletes at 1855 are amazing coaches, leaders, mentors and overall great people to be around! Overall amazing gym!

Fantastic experience: I never thought I was a “train at home” person but CF 1855 has proved me wrong. The online classes are the best part of my day now. I look forward to logging on and seeing, hearing, and sweating together, with my gym family. Thanks for keeping me sane, and fit, through all of these weeks of isolation.

Fantastic experience: The 1855 online coaching is awesome! The programming is so accessible and the coaches provide great individual coaching and encouragement through the Zoom classes. The community makes training from home really fun and motivating!

Fantastic experience: Outstanding workouts. Best Crossfit gym in Ottawa!

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Knowledge and fun coaches, good community, and a great space. Great place to continue or start your fitness journey.

Positive experience: I come here weekly for functional training with my dragon boat coach/team. The place is designed to be functional/practical (i.e. no VIP lounge) & has all the equipment we need. While I am not part of the hardcore crossfit crowd, I can't help but notice that (a) the ppl there are always happy, motivated & keen; (b) their bodies are in great shape. Needless to say, I have more work to do lol !!!

Fantastic experience: Great box! I dropped in while in town for a wedding. The community and coaches were welcoming, the facility was great, and the programing was fun and effective. The CrossFit Class was structured well and the coaching staff was knowledgeable and helpful. The ONLY con I had was trying to find the entrance door (it's around back on the loading dock). But, I've dropped into lots of CrossFit boxes and have learned that it doesn't really matter what it looks like on the outside (or how difficult it is to find your way in), what matters is what's inside the Box. CrossFit 1855 =

Fantastic experience: The friendliest gym I've ever been to! Joined in Aug 2018 and immediately felt welcome. Both the owners and coaches give equal attention to each person in class. All the members are very encouraging, and I love the energy in Olympic lifting on Tues & Thurs nights!!

Fantastic experience: Great coaches, atmosphere and group of people. I'm from out of town and was visiting a friend who trains here. I popped in for a couple sessions and it was great. The people and facilities were fantastic. The coaches were really helpful, took the time to dissect my form for some exercised I've been having trouble with. I would highly recommend this place, and if I lived in Ottawa I would definitely join here!

Fantastic experience: Great, raw, crossfit gym. Good vibes and good people. Fairly central and close to the highway. Nearly all rogue fitness products.

Fantastic experience: One of my friend went there after he recovered from a car accident. He described it well. So i think it is good too.

Fantastic experience: I played high level basketball for many years and found the competition, encouragement, and work ethic of the coaches and members at 1855 very similar to a competitive team atmosphere. Any team sport athlete who misses the feeling of working hard with a group to accomplish a common goal will find that feeling at Crossfit1855.

Fantastic experience: great box.

Fantastic experience: I started at 1855 in September 2017. I’ve been doing Crossfit for several years and been to many different gyms. I can honestly say that 1855 has the perfect balance between competitive athletes and a fun and encouraging atmosphere. I absolutely love it. Amazing coaching, passionate owners and a supportive community!

Fantastic experience: After finally healing a back injury enough to work out normally again, I wanted to join CrossFit. I originally came to CrossFit 1855 mainly because it was the closest to my house. Little did I know I would become a member of one of the greatest gym families I’ve ever seen. CrossFit it known for its community, but this gym is so much more. It’s the kind of place that I don’t even mind hanging out in even when I’m not working out. The coaches are absolutely amazing, you are never left confused or lost or feeling weak. Everyone you work out with is so incredible and I have made some unforgettable friendships from being a part of this gym for less than a year. I wouldn’t choose any other gym than this one. I have come so far and grown so much in so many ways from my time here, and I wouldn’t have it any other way!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been to a lot of Crossfit box’s across the country since I travel for work and Crossfit 1855 by far has been the most community-oriented and friendly box I’ve dropped in at. They’ve clearly done a great job creating a culture within their gym that focuses on creating a friendly, welcoming and supportive community. It’s members were quick to introduce themselves and make a non-member/drop-in visitor like me feel right at home and welcome. Coaches here are knowledgeable, have a good eye for form and technique. They are attentive, encouraging and have a wealth of knowledge to share. Andy, the co-founder was super friendly and I learned more about olympic lifting techniques just from the two WoDs I dropped in for. Thanks for having me in, Crossfit 1855 – I will be back the next time I’m in town!

Fantastic experience: CrossFit 1855 is my favourite box to drop in at hands down. I come to Ottawa about 2-3 times a year and am always welcome to join in the class. The coaches are inspiring, energetic and knowledgeable in their craft. The members treat me like one of the family. Welcoming and encouraging. I feel like I’ve been a long time member as soon as I walk in the door. The WODs are well programmed and I know I’ve worked hard when I’m lying in a pool of sweat with a huge smile on my face. If you’re in the Ottawa area- come drop in at Crossfit 1855 and Coach Andy Stewart! ❤️

Fantastic experience: Awesome community of people. Tough workouts but always lead with a smile!

Fantastic experience: Amazing trainers and atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: I dropped in while on business travel and had a great experience! The coaches were great instructors and motivators. I had awsome workouts and will certainly be dropping in the next time I'm in town. If you're interested in crossfit or need a place to workout while on the road, this is the spot! Thanks to Andy and the crossfit 1855 team!!

Fantastic experience: 1855 is one of the nicest crossfit boxes in town. Tons of room, great equipment and always very clean. The coaching is fantastic and the community is one of the best.

Fantastic experience: As someone who was brand new to CrossFit when I first visited CrossFit 1855, I was not entirely sure what to expect. A mere handful of classes later and I was hooked. CrossFit 1855 is home to a welcoming and tightly knit community which is incredibly supportive, pushing one another to achieve the best they can. The ownership and coaches are second to none as they are both knowledgeable and approachable while having an infectious passion for fitness and a desire to see athletes of every caliber improve. The coaches are also very patient and skilled when it comes to teaching movements to new members, making the workouts very accessible to people of all skill levels. The gym itself is a clean and open space, incredibly well equipped with everything you could need while also having flexible open gym hours which can fit any schedule. I cannot recommend this gym enough as you will see improvement under the watchful eye of fantastic coaches with a great community backing you up. I have never been as strong and as fit as I am now, and I have all those at CrossFit 1855 to thank.

Fantastic experience: I was incredibly lucky to happen upon CrossFit 1855. Gym is near my workplace and that was the initial draw for me since I had NO IDEA what CrossFit was. I was welcomed warmly to come try it out and I have not looked back. Despite my lack of athleticism, trying new things has been an exciting challenge. Workouts can be modified to suit an individual’s level of fitness and evolve as you progress. Any moments of doubt are quashed by the steady encouragement from awesome coaches with plenty of backing from the amazing & supportive members. It’s comfortable too. I have never liked the idea of joining women's only facility or being confined to ladies’ only area to dodge creepsters. It is a community where gals and guys compete on equal footing with various results while all feeling an amazing sense of accomplishment for themselves and those around them. It truly is a place with real opportunity for any individual to push themselves further in a team environment, which in my experience has resulted in all areas of my life improving. Crazy inspiring fun. I had never touched a barbell in my life and now I can’t imagine ever giving it up.

Fantastic experience: Had the best training with David

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym, nice equipment, things are kept clean and love the atmosphere. Steve is extremely friendly, knowledgeable and passionate. Love working out here.

Fantastic experience: More than a gym - it's a team and a family with incredibly positive and highly experienced coaches. Always look forward to going!

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym, attentive coaches and a fantastic group of people to workout with. Love this gym!

Fantastic experience: CF1855! Great place to get your Crossfit on. Super-welcoming staff and members. The coaching is superb. Very knowledgeable group that help you to develop your athletic skills, performance, and strength. Huge fist pump for this place!

Fantastic experience: I tried multiple crossfit gyms in Ottawa & Gatineau area and choice was clear, Crossfit 1855 hands down had the most attentive coaches, great programming and above all the most welcoming positive environment and community. Even though I have been going to crossfit for years I am still learning and have made huge steps toward achieving my goals since signing up, this is due to the coaching and environment. Just come in and try it, you'll be better for it!

Fantastic experience: Very helpful staff. Great environment for all levels of fitness.

Fantastic experience: This place is fantastic. If you had told me 8 months ago that I'd happily be up and at the gym for 6 am doing snatches, pull-ups and burpees, I’d ask you to hold my morning Doritos and you'd be on the business end of an open handed slap. But that was then and this is now. Challenging and safe programming, responsive coaching and a culture that celebrates achievement have me setting and accomplishing goals I never would have attempted on my own.

Fantastic experience: Going here is the highlight of my day! The coaches are great at making everyone feel welcome regardless of their skills and abilities. You will definitely love this gym!

Fantastic experience: Very welcoming folks. Great Athletic Conditioning class.

Fantastic experience: Excellent facility, experienced and knowledgeable coaches, and thoughtful programming that can be adapted for the beginner or challenge a pro. Extremely welcoming community with a diversity of skills and levels of fitness - if you're considering trying CrossFit for the first time or just want to make a change, 1855 is the place to go.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Ottawa hands down! Huge facility, great equipment as expected, but it's the people, coaches and atmosphere that make CrossFit 1855 a community rather than a gym. Everyone is extremely welcoming and friendly and Andy, Steve, Mike and the rest of the coaches bring considerable experience and skill to make this an ideal spot for people of all skill levels to get fit. Olympic Weightlifting and Athletic conditioning classes are great too!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend for any fitness level or any fitness goal. I don't think I would have ever joined a cf gym if it weren't for the amazing coaching here and now I'm addicted. Fantastic community and so many different styles of classes to try.

Fantastic experience: Andy, Steve and the community they have created is amazing. I dropped in recently, I felt right at home. If you are living in Ottawa or looking for a gym to drop in when away from home, Crossfit 1855 is the box to go to.

Fantastic experience: Clean space, quality equipment, friendly members, and most importantly EXCEPTIONAL COACHING! You'll work hard and have fun doing it.

Fantastic experience: I've been working out here for several months now, and can honestly say it is an awesome spot. The classes are intense, and yet you can easily adjust to suit your own level. There is a great vibe, everyone is friendly and approachable, and the classes have some great energy that really helps you get the most out of your workout. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Been to multiple gyms in the area. Truly enjoy it. Great hours. Solid coaches. Great programming.

Fantastic experience: Love this place! Had tried another crossfit gym in Ottawa before trying 1855 and they really set themselves apart. Super welcoming, and encouraging coaches and community. They're always pushing me to go hard but also stay super focused on form and creating the right habits as I continue to get into crossfit. Would highly recommend to anyone, especially those who want to see what crossfit is all about!
