bodiesbyphil

Fantastic experience: Fun gym. The class instructors are really engaged and the other members are really encouraging. I definitely feel comfortable and look forward to my next class.

Fantastic experience: This location is spacious, clean, and really great quality all around. Mobility with Chad was fun and I'll definitely be making the trek out to Kanata more often going forward!

Fantastic experience: I started at Bodies By Phil doing the 6-week Kickstarter Challenge in September, which was the perfect way to form the habit of going to the gym regularly. The meal plan also helped me realize that I wasn't eating nearly enough protein! I transitioned to the regular membership immediately after and have been going to this gym for about 4 months now - and I love it! The facility is really clean, and all of the staff are super friendly (Katie has helped me out a bunch with troubleshooting things!). The trainers at this location, Morgan and Chad, are also wonderful - they plan challenging and fun workouts, so I can come to the gym, shut my brain off, and just focus on the movements. I also convinced my wife to join a couple of months back, and she's been loving it, too! Highly recommend if you're looking for a more intimate gym, with super friendly people.

Fantastic experience: I've been at BodiesByPhil for 3 months months now and the experience has been great! The Kickstart challenge was very good for me in finding a way to maintain weightloss while still gaining strength and professing towards my other fitness goals. The classes are challenging and engaging and with it being a smaller gym there is a real community aspect to it. If you aren't at classes, people notice, so that helps keep you accountable.

Fantastic experience: This gym is great! Everyone is so supportive and the facility is so clean.

Fantastic experience: I have lived in 3 countries, 7 cities, and have from all the gyms, training academies, etc, that I have been to bodiesbyphil has been my best experience, and I continue to throughly enjoy it! What makes this place unique is the combination of amazing instructors, who are innovative and motivating in getting most out of you but also the community vibe- everyone's giving their 100 pc and cheering you to do the same! If you truly want to invest in your health, this is the place that will you maximum returns!

Fantastic experience: Such an amazing and fun gym atmosphere. The trainers are excellent at what they do and are always finding ways to make fitness fun.

Fantastic experience: Once you start going to this gym you can see how they earn their positive reviews. The gym has some great trainers and a great atmosphere. Best of all, I get to roll out of bed in the morning and my workout is pre planned for me… all I have to do is get there :) As a previous member of F45, this is a similar format with stations, but has many improvements (much heavier weights, trainers are making their own workouts, it’s not a chain, there is a lot of friendly competition between members, more of a community feel, etc). After F45 went out of business in the city prior to the pandemic, I tried LF3 but left feeling something was missing. This led me to BBP which checked all the boxes that I was looking for. I love that they keep it interesting with different “Lifts of the month” to work on one lift in each strength class and watch your progress as the month goes on. I’ve never been stronger. The convenience of being able to go to their location downtown or in Kanata is an added bonus. You won’t regret your choice to try out Bodies by Phil.

Positive experience: For the most part my experience has been positive, I wish I could leave 3.5 stars! The classes are AMAZING, as are the people. The areas I found challenging were: 8 hour cancellation policy is burdensome. If I woke up sick and had a class scheduled for noon, there was no way I could cancel within this timeframe. I think a 5 hour window would be reasonable. I also found daily meal photos began to be cumbersome. Maybe 2-3 a week would be more manageable.

Fantastic experience: I have joined bodiesbyphil as a six week challenge and I loved it working out with awesome mentor and trainer chad. He is very supportive and everyone at bodiesbyphil is super great and helpful. Loved this place.

Fantastic experience: After years away from the gym, and being wary of getting back into it, I'm so thankful I found bodies by phil. The atmosphere is fantastic, the people are friendly, the workouts are fun and effective. I genuinely miss the gym now, this place has changed me!

Fantastic experience: I have never seen so much progress so fast! I’m in the middle of the 90 day challenge and I’m already down 25lbs. Every single staff member at the gym has been amazing and so helpful with learning new workouts and motivating everyone to push themselves. They are truly a caring, fun, and welcoming gym and I recommend them to everyone I can. It’s been a life changing experience and no one should have doubts about trying a challenge or becoming a member, it’s more than worth it ☺️ I can’t thank everyone at Bodies By Phil enough

Fantastic experience: Awesome people at this gym, I did the 6 week Kickstarter and then merged into a regular membership. Everyone is super nice and welcoming, staff are very knowledgeable about health and fitness in a non-judgmental way. Definitely a safe space for those of all fitness levels, but you will be SORE and get your butt kicked (in the best way)!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love bodybyphil! The class structure is spot-on, making workouts both fun and engaging. The community vibe is incredibly welcoming, creating a supportive atmosphere. The coaches are not only knowledgeable but also super encouraging. A top-notch experience all around!

Fantastic experience: I’m really impressed with how the team works together to keep everyone safe, having fun and on their goals with expert knowledge but also a realness mindset. Clean spot, easy registration system. You’re missing out if you don’t try it!

Fantastic experience: Super welcoming environment. Staff are all knowledgeable and give options for limitations. It's a circuit style training, and they lay it all out for you which makes it super simple. Just show up. And push yourself as hard as you want. With only specific class times per day, sometimes I have to rejig, but come at 6 or 7am to get it done. Super clean also.

Fantastic experience: The moment I walked into the building, I knew it was a place I wanted to start my workout journey. The owners, staff, trainers and co-workout buddies were so inviting and engaging! I have seen a transformation in my body, mind and mood in such a short time period, and I look forward to each and every class. I never have that dreaded feeling of dragging myself to the gym. I’m motivated before, during and after. Playlists are so fun! Every class I learn something new, and have the support from everyone to push myself. Sign up for sure! You won’t be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: Hi! I'm like a lot of people. Busy, with a lot of sedentary activities split up by hectic ieriids in between. I let my fitness and eating habits slide in favor of work, "spending time with kids" or being the chauffeur for something else. I signed up at Bodies by Phil and then had to carve out the the time to get there. Yes, it took planning and some sacrifice, but I feel great after six weeks! I can lift more, joints feel great (except after lower days) and I just generally have more energy! I HIGHLY RECCOMEND JOINING!

Fantastic experience: Do you struggle to get the motivation to go to the gym? To have a plan once you get there? If you answered yes to these questions, then bodys by phill has a spot for you!! A trainer will make it interesting every time you step a foot through that door and make you challenge yourself and give you the confidence to put the pedal to the medal!! What a great gym!!

Fantastic experience: Love this gym and the people! They listen to you and your request for more times and what style of classes you’re loving etc. Been going there since it opened and still enjoying every class!

Fantastic experience: Bodies By Phil is the best! The workouts, staff, and gym itself are wonderful, but the community makes it even better. Everyone is supportive and that makes the classes so much fun. I love the focus on strength and weight work, while mixing in high intensity work out options.

Fantastic experience: The facilities are great. Very welcoming environment.

Fantastic experience: Everyone at Bodies By Phil both the staff and the participants are so kind, welcoming, and supportive! If you are looking for an environment where you immediately feel included, supported, and valued then look no further. It is so wonderful to have a space where you feel safe and motivated to make positive change for yourself, while meeting others who are like minded. I wish I had found this gym sooner as it provides the perfect balance of education and training to ensure the proper form and technique and inclusivity, and humour to make it a light hearted experience. I cannot recommend Bodies By Phil Kanata more, if you are looking for a place to belong, at any point in your fitness journey, then Bodies by Phil Kanata is for you! I am so grateful for everything my experience there has provided me and this is just the beginning.

Fantastic experience: Been going to BBP since July and I absolutely love it!!! The trainers are knowledgeable and supportive. They provided me with lots of modifications while I was pregnant and in my postpartum phase. The classes are challenging and fun, the studio is beautiful with great equipment! And I just can’t say enough about the people! Such a great atmosphere! Worth every penny!!!

Fantastic experience: There aren't enough words for me to express how great BBP is! Pros: -knowledgeable and friendly staff -supportive and tight-knit community -takes fitness seriously, but in an approachable and fun way -beautiful and new space that has always been spotless every time I've walked in Cons: -obviously none I've never been a "gym" person, but for the first time in my life I'm actually looking forward to working out. Truly magical!

Fantastic experience: Bodies By Phil provides not only great workouts (both strength and hiit) but a fun, inclusive community. From the look & feel details of the black and yellow branding, neon signs, eucalyptus hanging in the showers, and local products for purchase they really took this space to the next level. The classes make it easy to attend because you can just show up for a great workout, and with the rotating classes each day you never get bored going 5x a week. All the trainers encourage you and push you and they + the staff take the time to learn your names. Would recommend the trial membership to anyone!

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best gym experience I've had in Ottawa! The trainers and staff are amazing and so friendly. I've been going to classes at this location for 4 months now and I'm already noticing major improvements. The community created by this gym makes you excited to work out!

Fantastic experience: It has been 4 months since I started with BBP and I absolutely love it! I have seen improvements in my strength and mobility all thanks to the trainers. They are all so knowledgeable and encouraging. The community is by far the best I have ever been a part of, we are all serious, yet all very supportive of one another and have so much fun. The gym itself is always very clean and is well stacked with all sorts of different equipment. Thanks BBP for making this a great transition from another gym!

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a gym to go to that has a great community vibe and just all around cool and accepting people, look no further than Bodies by Phil! I used to hate going to the gym because I never felt comfortable until I started going here. Love this gym and this community of ours!

Fantastic experience: They took the amazing gym experience available at their downtown location to an even bigger and more badass location in Kanata! Check out whichever location you can! I highly recommend. Would give 10/5 stars if I could.

Fantastic experience: This gym is great, the instructors are excellent and the workouts are effective. So happy to have BBP here in Kanata.
