CrossFit^® Bytown

Fantastic experience: Generous, and attentive staff with folks new to CrossFit. Excellent communication with the owner for drop in with myself and some work colleagues. Great community feel to the facility!

Fantastic experience: I am having a great experience as a beginner with CF Bytown! Everett is a fantastic coach and it’s easy to learn with the small class sizes and hands-on help within group classes that helps beginners learn the basics. The vibe is communal, friendly, and upbeat. I am more motivated to improve my general fitness and have a much clearer idea how to get there then before. Thank you to the team and community there!

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Bytown is by far the best CrossFit gym I have been to. The coaches are fantastic. Everett is very knowledgeable and is always available for support / guidance. Try it for a week and you will never look back!

Fantastic experience: My journey at Bytown started in early August. I had been searching for a new, challenging activity for some time, and that's when I came across Crossfit Bytown. I was drawn to it for many reasons. Firstly, I admired their sense of community and inclusivity, where everyone is accepted and treated equally. Secondly, I appreciated their training approach, which is held in group workout sessions; however, each person trains according to their own needs and pace. A quick example from my experience: I had anxiety during a complex workout (something I had never done in all my years of training) as a beginner in my third class. I felt like I was doing it wrong, which I was, and that’s when one of the coaches suggested a simpler method that suited my needs. I wasn’t ashamed in front of my peers at that time because I knew that everyone in the room had to start from scratch and learn at some point in their journey. They didn’t make me feel judged; on the contrary, I felt supported and cheered when I started doing it right. The coach’s approach and communication made me feel more confident and seen, and I gradually improved. Thirdly, the energy in the atmosphere sparked a fieriness in me. I wanted to work on my goals of getting stronger mentally and physically. As I became more comfortable and confident in the environment, I began focusing on my strength and stamina. A month later, I feel more comfortable in my skin, my body has grown stronger and more fit, my brain is functioning better, and I am dedicated to changing habits and becoming a healthier person. It's a beautiful thing when you find a second home, and for me, Crossfit Bytown is just that. The coaches and the people are extremely supportive and mindful. I knew I made the right decision in joining. Thank you, Crossfit Bytown, for your endless support.

Fantastic experience: Great gym and well located and a phenomenal workout.

Fantastic experience: Great box! Really enjoying my classes here, awesome community and excellent coaches! Thanks guys looking forward to more progress!

Fantastic experience: I love dropping in to CrossFit Bytown whenever I'm in the city. Such a friendly group of people every time. The owner, Everett, is awesome. He's very friendly and quick to help when something is new, or when I'm unsure what weight or scaling option to choose to push myself just the right amount. I've especially enjoyed the Strong Fit classes and getting the chance to use sandbags, sleds and farmer carry handles. In general they have great equipment and the space is set up really well. Would highly recommend checking them out.

Fantastic experience: Such a great gym and community. I love this place. A very welcoming and pressure free environment for people of all skill and fitness levels.

Fantastic experience: This gym is really inclusive and all the coaches are knowledgeable & supportive. They can modify classes for all skill levels and I especially like their daily Beginner classes (Mon-Fri). I went from not working out at all to feeling comfortable lifting barbells and wanting to go back. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: They are amazing, for Newbies, coaches take time to show the explain training Gracias Team

Fantastic experience: Been doing CrossFit for 5+ years. Hands down best coaches and atmosphere I have been apart of.

Negative experience: Grosse déception. J'ai déjà fait des drop-in dans de plusieurs salles au cours des mes voyages, et Crossfit Bytown a été vraiment une déception. Installations minimalistes, pas de réels vestiaires, entraînement médiocre et surtout j'ai été dépité de découvrir qu'il n'y a MÊME PAS DE DOUCHE ! Oui, oui, une salle de crossfit sans douche !! Visiblement à Crossfit Bytown les gens ne transpirent pas... Cela m'a mis en difficulté car j'avais un rendez-vous professionnel directement après l'entraînement et pas de possibilité de me doucher. Vraiment une déception à tous les niveaux, je regrette amèrement ce détours.

Fantastic experience: Great coaches who encourage inclusiveness of all skill ranges. They care to show you the correct movements and why, right down to the individual muscles, and follow up to ensure you perform correctly throughout the workout. 10/10 would gym again! Special shout out to Andrew, Taylor & Everett. Thanks

Positive experience: It's great, just getting very crowded, small space, hard to get bookings

Fantastic experience: As a CrossFit newbie I felt extremely welcomed and supported by the coaches! I’ve been loving the workouts and the environment. Would definitely recommend to a friend :)

Fantastic experience: Bytown is awesome. Everett and the team foster a welcoming, inclusive environment. The team know their stuff and do a great job of building confidence in your technique and skill. The packages are flexible which is nice whether you want to go all the time or drop in a few times a week.

Fantastic experience: Super spot for CrossFit. The trainers are attentive to newbies, great teachers, and good company as early as 6 am. The app booking system removes any obstacles to attending, and I so appreciate the classes pass which makes it easy to go whenever it fits in my schedule. Good community vibes, great health and safety, easy parking. Thumbs up Everett and team.

Positive experience: Staff were amazing and enough space for all participants

Fantastic experience: Crossfit Bytown has everything I was looking for in a CrossFit gym! The coaches are very knowledgeable and there to personalize their coaching! The community has a real team spirit, where members support each other and push each other to their limits, while also being warm and welcoming. Truly like a third family to me.

Positive experience: CrossFit Bytown's got the basics down - easy sign-up, quick email replies, and a convenient location. But when it comes to the actual workout? Meh. Too much standing around, no real warm-up, and a session that ended 20 minutes early with a coach scrambling to fill time. Where's the structure? Where's the classic CrossFit community vibe? Missed the mark for me. Glad I checked it out, but I won't be rushing back.

Fantastic experience: Awesome coaches who give great advice and attention to everyone, with a great group of people cheering you on. Workouts are creative, fun and always different.

Fantastic experience: This is the best gym in Ottawa, hands down.

Fantastic experience: Amazing place for cross fit Antonya is the best trainer

Positive experience: It is a great gym with energetic and positive people. All trainers are supportive and kind. Especially, Juan Amario. I like his trainings so much! Unfortunately, the gym doesn't have a shower. It will be 5 starts if it appears!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to this gym for a handful of years and I love it. I’d resisted trying CrossFit for years because the workouts were intimidating and frankly, from the outside, the whole thing seemed like a trendy fitness cult. But, as it turns out, the vibe at Bytown is inclusive and friendly in a low-key kind of way that I really appreciate. The coaches do a great job of striking the right balance between taking the workouts seriously while also keeping things light and fun. It’s also worth noting that this gym has somehow managed to attract a consistently respectful and easygoing clientele, which goes a long way to making Bytown a chill place to workout. Five stars!

Fantastic experience: Attended a 6am CrossFit class while visiting Ottawa for business. The registration/booking process was very straightforward, and the class (coached by Juan) was great. The bonus post-WOD abs SESSION was a nice surprise! Highly recommended for anyone looking for Crossfit-type workouts in Ottawa.

Fantastic experience: I was going to write a note to Everett about my experience so far, but I think a review might be a nicer gesture. As someone who has let himself get into very poor shape it can be intimidating going to any gym. I tried and failed at more typical gyms, not knowing what to do or where to start, and finally decided to take the plunge and sign up for Crossfit. From the start I felt welcome and encouraged. I was carefully shown how to take my time, how to correct my form, how to get the most out of what I could do. I leave each workout feeling like I gave it my all, even if I don't have as much to give as everyone else. The workouts are hard enough that I don't have time to feel self-conscious, but they're a nice mix of interesting, challenging (and almost...fun?) workouts mixed with exercises that ask for as much as I can give. It's strange to say, but I find myself looking forward to going to the classes. It really helps me that once I've added myself to a class that becomes an appointment in my day, as important as any meeting or date or event. That kind of structure works for me. I look forward to seeing some of the same faces, working alongside people who are on their own journey. I've also been really impressed with the amount of attention I get from the trainers. I don't feel like they're over my shoulder all the time, but I'm given thoughtful feedback about my form, catching my mistakes, and explaining why my body moves the way it does and what to watch for. This means when I make mistakes I'm starting to understand what the mistake was, and how to fix it, and what to pay attention to. I'm early in my journey. Everyone else can run faster, jump higher and lift more weight than me, but I'm looking forward to the progress and I'm enjoying having this in my life, which is strange for me to say. It's still hard, it's still intimidating, and progress comes achingly slowly, but I'm enjoying myself and I recommend this gym to anyone, from a beginner to an experienced athlete.

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough great things about CrossFit Bytown. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by the friendly and knowledgeable staff who took the time to understand my fitness goals. The custom tailored equipment and well-designed layout and classes make every workout a pleasure. What truly sets CrossFit Bytown apart is the incredible sense of community they've fostered. The owner, trainers and fellow members are supportive and motivating, creating an environment where everyone feels welcome and encouraged to be their best. The variety of classes they offer, led by passionate instructors, who are so dedicated to helping you achieve your fitness and health goals, keeps me excited to come back each day. With pristine facilities and a fantastic location, top-notch trainers, and a vibrant atmosphere, CrossFit Bytown has truly become like second home. If you're looking for a gym that goes above and beyond to help you achieve your fitness goals, look no further. I simply cannot recommend highly enough. It really is the best gym in town in my opinion and I’ve tried most of them. :)

Fantastic experience: Can’t say a enough good things about CrossFit Bytown, met amazing people, which is a plus since I was new in Ottawa when I started and the coaches are the best. :) Been looking for a CrossFit for a while now, and super happy I found CrossFit Bytown. It’s been great, always looking forward to the classes because I know I’ll be having a good time. On top of it all, the coaches are attentive and will help out to adapt classes to your skills set (or if you are injured), they also make sure you’re doing it all correctly and having fun. Recommend x1000/10, don’t think twice about it

Fantastic experience: It was great start today

Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic! This place is an absolute gem for anyone looking to have an invigorating and stress-free workout experience. From the moment I walked in, I felt a warm and welcoming atmosphere that made me instantly comfortable. The staff here is simply outstanding - not only are they incredibly supportive, but they are also highly knowledgeable about various workout techniques. What sets this place apart is the personalized attention they provide to each member. The staff took the time to understand my fitness goals.They made sure I was performing exercises correctly to avoid any potential injuries and maximize the benefits. The results were nothing short of remarkable! I couldn't believe the positive changes I saw in my body within the first two weeks of joining. It's truly inspiring to witness the transformation firsthand, and it has motivated me to stay dedicated to my fitness journey.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic place to workout. When I first came here I hadn't been to a gym in 20 years and was starting to notice the effects of an aging body that was becoming weaker. I'm now in my mid-40s and far stronger and fitter than I've ever been. The coaches do a phenomenal job of explaining the how and why of every movement. Every day is a new challenge and even after coming here for years I still end up trying something I've never done before about once a month.

Fantastic experience: Drop-ins helped me get my workout in while traveling for work. Thank you

Fantastic experience: This place.. The coaches are magnificent. The banter is spot on. The programming is outstanding. I’m absolutely smitten. The classes are varied and run all day long. There’s even an 11am and a 3pm class which is pretty much unheard of. There’s a kids class at 5pm on Sundays and they also run a program for folks who are training through various stages of recovery. I’ve broken more than one PB within weeks of starting with them alongside many a giggle. So welcoming and unpretentious. I just can’t say enough about the good happening over there.

Fantastic experience: There are several things I can say about this fine place so let's get started. I joined just under a year ago. My body, my mindset and energy levels have gone through quite the transformation. I am happy I committed to this place. After numerous failed attempts to restart my fitness journey, this one finally stuck but this wasn't by accident or good luck. Yes, I had a part in it but the trainers here played a big part in it. They are truly invested and genuine in their desire to get you to where you want. I never felt embarrassed or judged. It can be intimidating walking in there and seeing all of these fit people do magnificent things. I will caution you that it took me a few months to get used to all of this. It was painful but that was all of my own doing. Once you surpass that hurdle it actually becomes fun. You find exercises you like and ones you will never like even though you try. Their programs are challenging and it pushes you. I go 2x per week but should be going more. Still, it's a good workout with incredible benefits. The location is smaller than you'd expect at some of the smaller gyms which I prefer. The trainers are approachable both on a professional and personal level. It's always a warm smile and hello when you get there. They are open to suggestions but also to answer questions. The monthly fees are competitive with other locations but costly compared to discount gyms. But I was tired of looking to benefit from discounts because there you get no service - here you do. And given the cost, it forces you to make use of the facilities and to go. I like that I can take my daughter once a week (for free) to a CrossFit Kids class which she likes. And it's good exposure for her. I also like the bring a friend Saturday (again for free) session which can be fun. On occasion I have asked for a free class for a friend and it was never a problem but my asks were rare and infrequent. The place doesn't have showering facilities but you can get changed there. They have ample free parking which is a huge plus given the location. The place is clean and the equipment is current. They have a very useful App to book classes and keep up to date with things. It's easy to use and handy with some cool features. They have formed quite a positive culture there that is both encouraging and empowering. Just go. You will have. Get over whatever is apprehending you and you will be fine. Bring some water...you will need it.

Fantastic experience: I’ve started Crossfit in Ottawa during my stay there for 4months and i had the best experience ! Coachs are so nice, supportive and take care of you ! I’ve meet real friends that i will keep for life and had the best and challenging work out that you can expect as physically active person !! I truly recommend this place ! Seriously ! Special mention for the coach Juan, he is insane !

Fantastic experience: We had an AMAZING experience at CrossFit Bytown. We dropped into a class and Everett and his team was so welcoming and made us feel like part of their community. The class was fun, engaging and highly motivating. Thank you for the wonderful experience, and we're looking forward to our next visit!

Fantastic experience: Great gym and great group of people. Coaching is excellent. For the first time in a while I actually feel motivated to drag myself out of bed at 6am to workout!

Fantastic experience: From the moment I walked through the doors, I felt welcomed and supported by the friendly staff and fellow members. The coaches here at this CrossFit Bytown are the true stars of the show, as they go above and beyond to ensure that everyone, regardless of their fitness level, feels confident and empowered. One of the standout aspects of this gym is the daily focus on teaching basic skills. Each session begins with a dedicated time where the coaches thoroughly explain and demonstrate the fundamental movements and techniques used in CrossFit. This attention to detail has helped me develop a strong foundation and greatly improved my form, ensuring that I can perform exercises safely and effectively. In addition to the exceptional coaching, the facility itself is well-maintained and equipped with top-notch equipment. The variety of equipment available ensures that workouts never become monotonous, and there's always something new to challenge yourself with. The gym is always clean, and the staff members are quick to assist if any equipment needs attention. If you're looking for a CrossFit gym that not only focuses on intense workouts but also prioritizes skill development and building confidence, this is the place for you. The knowledgeable coaches, supportive community, and inclusive environment make it an ideal space for beginners and experienced athletes alike. I cannot recommend this CrossFit gym enough. Give it a try; you won't be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: Crossfit Bytown gave me everything I was looking for in a crossfit club, and more! The coach are very attentive, responsive and caring to the members. They are also humorous and create a great atmosphere. The crossfitbytown community has a real team spirit, members support each other and push each other to their limits. I recommend this gym 100%, don't hesitate!

Fantastic experience: This gym is the best! It’s such a good vibe- the coaches are fantastic, the owner is awesome and the people who go here are welcoming and helpful. If you want to reach your goals, this place is where your hard work will be met with encouragement, support and they will always push you to be better. Plus it’s fun- you don’t need to be an expert you just need to try, and if you do you’ll be happy you did!

Fantastic experience: I've been in CrossFit gyms for 13+ years. The Bytown staff know, apply, and teach the fundamentals – the key to long-term success in building and maintaining fitness, no matter who you are. Always a welcoming and friendly crowd of people of all sorts of backgrounds and experience. My gym home since moving to Ottawa.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Crossfit Bytown for almost two years and I love it. The trainers are informative, professional, non-judgemental and friendly. The other members are welcoming and supportive. Bytown gives you the chance to have a great workout while connecting with new people you otherwise would not have met. Going to crossfit I’ve been able to reach a level of strength I didn’t realize I had. I never would have imagined I could squat 200 lbs! I can’t recommend this gym enough.

Fantastic experience: Amazing Group of Athletes and Trainers !!

Fantastic experience: Very welcoming gym, the coaches are awesome and really care about you and your progress, always respecting your level and pace. I started recently and I'm really enjoying the classes!

Fantastic experience: i’ve loved my time at bytown! the coaches are all so personable and open to helping you learn how to do different movements correctly. everyone who attends class is so supportive and open to chatting. overall, lovely atmosphere that makes working out at 7 am very pleasant

Fantastic experience: The environment is welcoming and inclusive from the moment you walk in you get a real sense of community with the staff and members (not in a fitness pretentious kind of way). If you are a CrossFit Newb like me and need a little extra support the coaches are exceptional they are so experienced and knowledgeable and really take the time with you if you need it. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Amazing coaches with a wealth of knowledge and friendliness to boot! I went here while I was a student and was always received with open arms and an incredible community of friends that I adore!

Fantastic experience: If somebody will ask me about TOP3’s best experiences during my stay in Canada, it will be CrossFit Bytown+CrossFit Bytown+CrossFit Bytown. Such a good vibe! Amazing community! The coaches are professional, friendly, and supportive.

Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend this gym / team enough. The coaches are great, you learn something new every day, and the community is so supportive no matter how experienced you are. I finish each visit looking forward to the next.

Fantastic experience: Recently moved to Ottawa and was looking for a gym that cares about more than just lifting weights. I tried a few gyms in town when I just got here but I couldn't meet anyone. Great gyms just hard to meet people. I have met my best friends from the gyms and through lifting before and find I get along with those types of folks. Guess what? CrossFit Byward is exactly what I was looking for. From day one everyone is super engaging. You start the classes with introducing yourself and answering a fun daily question. That makes it easy for everyone to learn about each other. Everett the owner along with other coaches are extremely involved. Even when they are not coaching a class you see a couple coaches other than the one who is teaching the class is walking around and chatting with people. They don't try to help you with just lifting weights. I know they are also involved with helping the community with addiction or folks that are in recovery. I genuinely feel really lucky I found this place. My partner is really not comfortable in a "gym environment" and it makes her very anxious but now that she has heard me talking about CrossFit Bytown she has asked me to talk to Everett and give it try for her. I hope if anyone is even thinking of getting some help to increase their health and quality of life like myself at least give this place a shot and come for a few classes and see how it goes. Also there are classes pretty much every hour of the day so super flexible if you have a busy schedule like me.

Fantastic experience: I love this gym. Fantastic owner and trainers. Great location and space. Wonderful group of people. Highly recommend CrossFit ByTown.

Fantastic experience: A fantastic gym for people of all levels of fitness. Classes are led by experienced coaches, who are very good at both helping you level up, as well as give advice on how to scale the workouts to accommodate where you currently are. I highly recommend it!

Fantastic experience: After looking up CrossFit gyms in the city I came across CrossFit Bytown. I had a good feeling about it and I was right. Incredibly welcoming and helpful trainers as well as a supportive community. I felt immediately comfortable after my first class. They offer a range of different classes which makes it easy to find exactly what you are looking for.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely phenomenal gym, would recommend to anyone as they are so accommodating to all levels and backgrounds. Edit: still a fantastic place to train and an absolutely beautiful space now with all of the renovations!

Fantastic experience: Really great community and atmosphere. I love coming here 3x a week! Thanks Bytown :)

Fantastic experience: Really great community and atmosphere. I love coming here 3x a week! Thanks Bytown :)

Fantastic experience: Went in for an 11am WOD today. Visiting from Hamilton. Everett was very welcoming and knowledgeable. Challenging WOD today with front squats, power cleans and burpees. Felt like I belonged there : ) I’ll come back out next time I am visiting family in Ottawa. Thanks for a great work out!!

Fantastic experience: I normally workout in Kingston at a different gym, but I get the pleasure of dropping in at Bytown every couple of weekends. The coaches are great even though I see them sporadically and I always get a good sweat in. Would recommend for anyone looking for a long-term gym or as a drop-in if you're in the area for a weekend.

Fantastic experience: I dropped in for a workout when visiting from out of town and I had a great experience. Very quick and friendly to respond. Coaching was solid and the gym is clean and very well equipped. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I've started one month ago, after not doing much during the pandemic. I decided to go particularly to this gym. I wanted something challenging and fun to do! They guided me to what type of classes should I start with and how many days a week. Until now, I've been feeling comfortable and eager to go every time I have a class scheduled (they use an app which I think is the best way to have your spot secured, to the class you want to go). Trainers are always the best, and ready to help you with everything they can! I love that :) The ambiance in general is fun and relax as well!

Fantastic experience: Everett and his team are inspiring fitness leaders that able to transform anybody into a functionally strong person.

Fantastic experience: It would be one thing to say that this gym has excellent hours and all the tools needed for any discipline, be it powerlifting, calisthenics, strongman etc. The real reason this place shines is the coaches, especially the head coach Everett Sloan. All the coaches are knowledgeable and very helpful, but Everett has time and again gone out of his way for me and other members. Be it one on one coaching at no extra cost, giving advice on off his off days, giving out equipment to his members during lockdown, since going to Bytown I have not once thought of any other facility being worth the time or investment thanks to Everett and the team at Bytown. I've personally seen the ubermensch and people in very poor shape thrive and enjoy being at Bytown. Go to Bytown, talk to the coaches about your goal, try out the Strongfit classes(they are the best) and gain a healthy appreciation for sandbags and sleds.

Fantastic experience: Awesome workout. Welcoming atmosphere. Didn't feel awkward at all about being a newb or not as strong as everyone else.

Fantastic experience: Awesome workout. Welcoming atmosphere. Didn't feel awkward at all about being a newb or not as strong as everyone else.

Fantastic experience: Amazing client service here. If you’re experienced or a newbie, you will feel comfortable and challenged here.

Fantastic experience: Amazing high end new location After lockdowns limiting so much of the Sufism aspect of workouts, it's awesome coming back to such a updated well ran CrossFit gym

Fantastic experience: Joined in September and have been massively impressed by the level of engagement by the owners, staff, volunteers and clients too. This community is very engaging and supportive of newcomers and have kept me coming back pretty much daily since I joined.

Fantastic experience: Welcoming atmosphere, extremely clean & very well equipped. Super knowledgeable & helpful coaches. Pretty much the perfect place to work out!

Fantastic experience: I've been doing CrossFit for almost 10 years and CrossFit Bytown is one of the most friendliest and inclusive gyms I've been a member of. They offer a variety of group classes, and the coaches are able to work with various skill levels. The programming is constantly varied and challenging, too! I'm happy to be apart of the CrossFit Bytown community.

Fantastic experience: I've been a member for over 6 years and love the community here. The programming consistently pushes me out of my comfort zone. The coaches are knowledgable and attentive - I appreciate that I'm getting instruction and learning new things at every session.

Fantastic experience: I've been to many gyms in almost 7 years of Crossfit, but this one is one of the BEST. All the coaches are super knowledgeable, they give excellent tips and corrections and are just great people. I am currently pregnant so my top priority is to workout safely, and I am very confident I am in good hands. Their response to covid-19 was very well thought from the beginning. Each person has their own station with proper distancing and the equipment is sanitized after each workout, so you can be sure all precautions are taken. Last but not least, the community is very welcoming, people are very nice and supportive.

Fantastic experience: Started out a year and a half ago with a free trial and have been going ever since. Great coaches with excellent knowledge along with great members make it an awesome experience for getting fit

Fantastic experience: The gym is fantastic and everyone was incredibly friendly. The coaches were great, welcomed me as soon as I walked through the door, and made me feel right at home. All the equipment was great and very clean. I would definitely recommend this gym to anyone in the Ottawa area.

Fantastic experience: Joined Bytown in September and it's great! Amazing coaches and classes with variations for all levels. A very good way to get into CrossFit and weightlifting.

Fantastic experience: I've felt included since the day I started in October! CrossFit Bytown is the least intimidating gym I've been to and that's why I keep coming back. I'm always encouraged to ask questions and have already learned a lot in my short time here. You can tell the coaches really care—they always make sure that you're heard and having a good time.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member since 2016, prior to that I have worked out in a gym maybe a dozen times over the previous 3 decades. Safe, friendly to beginners, challenging to veterans and always constantly varied workout.

Fantastic experience: From the moment I stepped through the doors I felt welcomed. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable and always go above and beyond 24/7 to support their members. I've been a member since October 2020 and I am so glad I joined. I recommend everyone to come give a class a try, you will love it!

Fantastic experience: Bytown is amazing! After trying several other CrossFit gyms, I finally found one to call home. The coaches are so knowledgeable and they really treat you like family. Everyone is so helpful and accommodating especially if you have injuries. The facility is super clean; and specially during covid they have gone above and beyond to ensure their members safety. Bravo bytown, the best gym in town.

Fantastic experience: Love CrossFit Bytown. Great friendly atmosphere and they have gotten me into the best shape of my life. Great scheduling and options as well. A place for everyone.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member at Bytown for over 4 years now. It is the most inclusive and welcoming box. No matter your fitness level or ability, the coaches and members will welcome you. I also love that Bytown is very involved in the community. From fundraisers, giving back to less fortunate people from the neighbourhood, welcoming adaptive athletes, to a program for people recovering from addictions. They also have classes throughout the day, as opposed to some gyms that only have morning and evening classes. If you're thinking of joining a box, do not hesitate to check Bytown out. I cannot recommend them enough.

Fantastic experience: I've been training at Crossfit Bytown since they first opened in 2012, and I love it! It's my home away from home, awesome coaches, friendly and welcoming community, and a very well equipped space.

Fantastic experience: Really friendly and supportive staff. If you're thinking about getting rid of your covid flab, sign up!

Fantastic experience: Great environment. Friendly staff. TAYLOR, T , LOUISE were great today..Definitely coming back.

Fantastic experience: If it was possible to give 10 stars I would. Amazing team of dedicated coaches. Healthy, inclusive, fun environment. Good equipment. Great hours and options for different training styles.

Fantastic experience: Did my frist class ever and loved choch was awesome kind and crazy motivated I'll be back for sure

Fantastic experience: Welcoming and knowledgeable coaches and an accepting community. If you’re curious about starting or looking for a spot to drop in, stop by!

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym. So inclusive and fun. And the coaches are so knowledgeable! Try it out and you won't be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: Great stuff

Fantastic experience: I went into Bytown with zero experience, I'm the type of girl who almost failed gym classes and couldn't like a sport if you paid me. The coaches and the classmates have never once made me feel out of place, they welcomed me with smiles and helped me adjust the workouts so that now a year later I can keep up with the rest of the class! Last July, I ran my first Spartan race!! The philosophy isn't just about getting in shape, it's about being strong, living longer, and being healthy. To me that really changed my perspective on physical activities and made me fall in love with CrossFit. The cool thing about this gym is it's not all CrossFit, there's StrongFit, yoga, defence classes, seminars, classic strength, etc. I've made close friends here and learned things that will last a lifetime! If you're like me, come in to CrossFit Bytown and check it out, you will not be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: I love this gym so much. I have been a member for about 3 years. Previously, I was more of an individual worker-outer (yes, I made that word up) but now I go to the gym and laugh and carry on with everyone. I can still workout alone if I want or I can join a class if I feel like being more social or need the push to work harder. The owner, and other coaches, are the most non-judgemental, accepting, inclusive individuals I have ever met. Everyone is welcome in this gym as long as you are respectful of others. You will meet people of every walk of life here and you will make new friends even if the only thing you share is a good workout. I have gained a lot of strength since starting CrossFit and I have learned so many new skills. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Love this gym! Small but mighty. Great community and atmosphere. Everybody is super friendly and welcoming. The coaches are very knowledgeable and can adapt to everyone’s fitness capabilities and needs. They make CrossFit accessible to EVERYONE! Wouldn’t want to train anywhere else.

Fantastic experience: Recently joined this crossfit place. The workout has a great variety, and it is fun. You feel good after an intensive one hour workout. Great people.

Fantastic experience: I was in town for work and decided to visited Crossfit Bytown for a workout. My experience with CrossFit over the years often ended feeling like I did not understand the workout, like I didn’t get the attention and guidance I needed and at times ended with various injuries. The worst of them was a severe disk herniation from which I am just now recovering, over a year and a half of treatments later. I was hesitant to try CrossFit again but I was also itching to feel like I could workout as I did pre-injury. I am so thrilled we tried Crossfit Bytown. I cannot say enough good things about this gym and about the owner Everett Sloan. Everett not only asked about my injury in detail, but he kept a constant eye on me throughout the entire class, tweaking my form and giving me movement options so that I could keep up without risk of re injury and also understand the goal of the workout. I had full peace of mind that I was being watched and guided through every step. At the end of the class Everett made a point to sit down with me and talk about my injury, offer an endless amount of great advice and guidance towards moving forward to prevent injury and be able to workout safely. I am extremely impressed with the attention, care and knowledge I was met with at Crossfit Bytown. 100% recommended and will definitely return whenever I’m in town next. Coached like Everett are seriously hard to find!

Fantastic experience: I went there while visiting Ottawa and they welcomed me like a member of their gym. The coaches were very friendly and professional and members were very welcoming. I will definitely come back on one of my trips to Ottawa.

Fantastic experience: Visiting Ottawa from Indianapolis and dropped into Bytown for a workout. Everett was one of the better coaches I've ever had. Well run class and solid programming. Would belong here if I lived here. Highly recommend this box.

Fantastic experience: The environment is second to none. Everett is knowledgeable, supportive, and takes a genuine interest in your progress and health. I've never stuck to anything for more than 3 months because I despise physical activity, but I've been going for more than 2 years now.
