Queen Street Fitness

Expérience fantastique: I joined Queen Street for 4 months as a student during my summer off. The coaching staff is absolutely amazing- they are extremely supportive and care so much about each athlete. As a new person to functional fitness, they encouraged me to try new movements and helped me gain the confidence I needed to reach my fitness goals. I have only positive things to say about Queen Street and its community, and I recommend it to anyone at any fitness level :)

Expérience fantastique: I've gained a lot from my experience at Queen Street Fitness. I've learned the value of expertise, enjoyed discovering new workout music, and improved various movement patterns. Most importantly, I've come to understand that taking the time to listen to my body is a true sign of mental strength, not a lack of perseverance. Previously, I adhered to a "push through it" mentality from athletics, often ignoring my body’s signals. After a lower spine injury last year, I realized this approach wasn't beneficial. Thanks to QSF's guidance, I learned about effective pain management, recovery, and the importance of heeding my body's signals. This disciplined approach has aided my full recovery and restored my confidence in my movements. Training at QSF has been transformative, teaching me that proper injury rehabilitation is crucial for both body and mindset. Additionally, QSF boasts a supportive, inspiring gym community, thanks to its wonderful owners, coaches, and dedicated members. Highly recommended!

Expérience fantastique: Queen Street Fitness met all of my expectations and more. The facility was always clean and the equipment well-maintained. I learned so much from the coaches who are always willing to help and make you feel comfortable no matter your experience. Everyone in the gym was incredibly friendly and welcoming. I am looking forward to taking the knowledge and confidence I gained at Queen Street Fitness to my next gym in Toronto!

Expérience fantastique: As a full-time working mom with young kids, I reached out to Queen Street Fitness when I was frustrated with nagging back pain and a lack of progress in my training. The assessments revealed specific mobility limitations and strength discrepancies, leading us to a personalized plan. My coach helped me eliminate my back pain, developed a balanced approach to health and wellness, and fostered a healthier relationship with exercise. The positivity, knowledge, and holistic approach of my coach have been invaluable. The accountability extends beyond the gym to sleep, diet, stress, and goal setting. I now have a framework to understand and manage pain, and I’m on a path to success and feeling great.

Expérience fantastique: Joining the community at Queen Street Fitness has been an amazing experience. You'd be hard-pressed to find a group of more dedicated, knowledgeable and supportive professionals than the team there. I've trained in gyms for over 20 years, playing all kinds of sports and working with different trainers, and I can honestly say that I learn something new every week at QSF. I move better, feel better, and have overcome some chronic injuries by working one-on-one with a coach. It's helped change my perspective on exercise, which has impacted all areas of my life. 100% recommend!

Expérience fantastique: After moving to Kingston, I was looking for a gym that provided onboarding support for fitness programs as I had no idea where to start. After booking an initial consultation with Callum I was immediately put at ease with his approach to building a personalized fitness program that worked for me. He took the time to understand my goals and limitations and developed an effective program that I was comfortable with. He and the other coaches at the gym are all very knowledgeable and approachable. The gym community is also very welcoming, providing encouragement and motivation, I always look forward to classes! One of my primary goals when joining the gym was to become more active despite dealing with some mobility issues. Since beginning training with Callum in 2021 the programming has had a tremendous impact, not only have I overcome many of my mobility challenges, but I have also seen significant improvements in my overall fitness and well-being. Previous to training I often had migraines from the tension in my body. Originally I had hoped to be able to regain some of the mobility that I had lost from the chronic tension, but training has gone far beyond that. QSF's approach to fitness has also helped me make positive lifestyle changes beyond the gym. I've become more mindful of my overall well-being, including my diet, sleep, and stress management. I highly recommend QSF to anyone looking for a gym that has a strong sense of community, takes a holistic approach to fitness, and is committed to helping you reach your goals.

Expérience fantastique: I recently visited Kingston, Ontario, for a work conference. In the early morning before my conference started, I attended Queen Street Fitness for some instructor lead workouts. They are awesome! They individually speak with each participant to make sure that we are doing what we should be doing for our capabilities and Fitness goals. Queen Street Fitness is very clean, organized, and professionally operated. If you’re into working out, I highly recommend attending Queen Street Fitness! And Thank you for having me!

Expérience fantastique: All of the coaches were fantastic, knowledgeable and cheerful. The staff, members, and facilities are wonderful, making every workout enjoyable! Really enjoyed my time at Queen street, sad to be moving away.

Expérience fantastique: Coaching was 10/10. All of the coaches were super approachable, respectful, engaging, and overall fun!!! Coaches asked how I felt about the workout set prior to starting which I really appreciated. The workouts were tailored to my comfort level and abilities. This gym was amazing for me physically and mentally. So much fun and a good sweat! I highly recommend this gym!

Expérience fantastique: The coaches always had constructive feedback and were available to answer questions about my movement. I saw a huge improvement in my strength, running, and biking. I'm hoping to find a new gym in Vancouver, but my expectations are high due to Queen Street Fitness!

Expérience fantastique: I first experienced QSF across the street from where they are now through a friend, and at the time I wasn't quite ready, and they weren't offering quite the in depth experience that I get to enjoy now. The first person I met at their newer location was Callum, he put my body through a few tests, so that a program could be made for my requirements, and I could be set up with a trainer. I was thoroughly impressed with this experience and he also explained that it wasn't just about working out, and diet, but also about work load, home life, sleep, the whole package. The second person I met was my trainer, and what a gem she is, Ashley puts her all into every session, takes her time with you, is professional, explains things well ( and for me, over, and over), and is very personable. Ashley's now sending my sessions, as I've "graduated" to working out on my own, and she's amazing at checking in on my progress. The best thing I've received out of this past 8 months is the confidence back to do things in my daily life without the fear of pain, or a joint giving out. I kennel dogs full time, plus I'm extremely active and suffer from multiple injuries, and working out at QSF has basically alleviated my pain, I'm getting stronger, and I'm building confidence. QSF has a wonderful community of people, and walking in the doors always puts a smile on my face, no matter my day. I would have to call it my happy place. Thank you to all the staff and morning crew at QSF! Pam Little

Expérience fantastique: When I moved to Kingston and was looking for a new gym, I was trying to manage a lower back and shoulder injury from a fall at work. I was having daily pain in both, with little improvement by physio and massage therapy, to the point where I was having trouble working out the way I wanted to and struggling from living in pain for so long. Storm and the team at Queen Street seemed like the perfect match for me based on their approach, so I gave it a shot and am I ever glad I did. We started by tackling a few lifestyle habit to help with my recovery and a easy plan was made for me to increase my sleep and eat more protein. Within the first 6 months of working with Ashley on a personalized program, my pain reduced to the point where I was no longer having daily pain, just the odd flare up. On top of this, we were able to even out a lot of my weaknesses that I had on the left side of my body from the fall and go beyond and build up my strength again. We even got to the point where I was able to start running again without back pain, something I hadn’t been able to do for two years. These improvements were made by having an amazing partnership approach with my coach, Ashley, and having her and the rest of the coaches truly care about my progress, not just in the gym but outside as well, encouraging healthy habits. I always felt as though I was truly being listened to and that the coaches cared a lot about trying to understand my issues before making a plan to address them. Every step of the way, I was given the reasoning for the approach we were using and explanations for the movements which really helped to motivate me and understand the science behind it all. I cannot recommend Queen Street Fitness enough! For anyone struggling with injuries or just trying to build their fitness up. The coaches and entire community are so friendly, they make everyone feel welcome!

Expérience fantastique: After finishing four years of Queen’s varsity soccer, I struggled to stick to my own exercise routine and missed a team environment. I wanted a place that could help me improve my accountability, cardio, and strength. I am proud to say that Queen Street Fitness was the place to fill this void and help me with my fitness goals. I had a fantastic time with QSF. The gym was always clean, and the members did a really good job cleaning up after themselves. I enjoyed the sense of community at the gym and loved all of my workouts. I felt as though I got excellent coaching and was also encouraged by all of the other gym members. I loved that the non-competitive environment allowed me to focus on bettering myself. All of the coaches I had were phenomenal. I loved their energy, willingness to teach, and ability to make every class fun. I will miss them all a lot. I loved my time at the gym, and I'm so glad I decided to join last summer.

Expérience fantastique: I worked with Storm for 3 months in 2022. I learned safe and effective strengthening techniques as well as conditioning workouts. I now have a great level of confidence in my workouts, understanding how to progress properly and regress when needed. I wouldn't have been able to get to where I am today if I hadn't gotten this one on one guidance. Starting out I had some chronic neck and shoulder pain that were significantly reduced after my time at Queen Street, and to this day feel a lot better. The coaches at Queen Street are so friendly, encouraging, and inspiring. Not only do they show up with a helpful and positive attitude, but they are highly educated and bring an evidence based approach to their work. Queen Street has really quality equipment and overall a very nice facility. They've done a great job at cultivating a strong sense of community for their members and staff. I could not recommend this place more!

Expérience fantastique: Such a beautiful facility and staff was so kind letting us drop in for the Quarter final workouts! Thankful

Expérience fantastique: One of the things I learned about myself through the pandemic is that I need to be part of a gym community. Working out on my own was not working out! When things started opening up again, I was looking for a new gym to call home. I knew a few people who were members at Queen Street Fitness, and I’d met Storm several years earlier so I made a discovery call. That was a good call. Before joining QSF and working with Storm I had frequent back pain and an ongoing irritation and discomfort in my right elbow. After initial assessments and programming specific exercises to address these issues, they gradually went away. I’m now pain free. When I started a QSF, I wasn’t expecting there to be as much education as there is. I have learned so much and continue to learn more every day. I’m more aware of my fluid intake and my sleep, diet and stress. I didn’t think that I would be talking to my trainer about time blocking and time management but I was. All of these components have come together to make me stronger and more confident in my body’s ability. Personally, I’m not training to run a marathon, I’m training for life…to be able to play with my grand-kids. I couldn’t be happier with my experience at QSF. This is not my quote, but it is true of QSF…”We may train as individuals but we workout as a community”. I love having individualized programming yet being part of such a welcoming community. The staff and clients at QSF are all truly inspiring. I feel fortunate to be part of such a great fitness community.

Expérience fantastique: Callum was great and made us feel right at home. The facility was so well organized. It was a great place to drop in to tackle a quarterfinals workout. Will definitely be back when in the area!

Expérience positive: Overpriced.

Expérience fantastique: When I first reached out to Queen Street I was struggling to regain mobility after many back surgeries. I couldn’t bend over to tie my shoes and sitting through classes was really uncomfortable and painful. After meeting with my trainer for the first time I felt that he completely understood what my limitations were and I got the sense that he knew exactly how to best help me out. This was a rare experience for me as I had been to many physical therapists over the years who barely understood my complicated history of surgeries and didn’t take the time to understand it either. They would then take a very generalized approach which never helped much. After a few months at Queen Street I felt a million times better and finally felt like I could go about my day without feeling constantly limited by my back. Not only was I feeling so much better, but I was also having a ton of fun in the process. Now over a year later I’m still exercising consistently following my custom program independently and am able to do exercises like sit-ups, which when I first tried seemed unachievable with a fused spine. Recently the support I’ve loved the most from my coach is around improving my nutrition habits- it’s been awesome. The coaches are not only incredibly friendly but super professional and extremely skilled. I’d recommend Queen Street to anyone, especially someone like me who needed a trustworthy guide after recovering from a series of significant surgeries.

Expérience fantastique: Queen street fitness makes you feel so incredibly welcome the second you open those front doors. The instructors are top notch and go above and beyond to check in, provide great tips on form, and laughter and humor to every class. This was my first time at a crossfit gym and I'm so glad I took the leap and signed up! Thanks to Storm and the whole QSF crew for nurturing such a fitness gem in the Kingston community.

Expérience fantastique: One of my favourite gyms to visit. Coaches (and members) are exceptionally kind, welcoming, and knowledgeable. Can’t say enough good about Queen Street Fitness!

Expérience fantastique: Attentive, charismatic, genuine, authentic, and enthusiastic are all words I'd use to describe the coach/coaching approach used at QSF. Working with Callum the movements/weights used were appropriate for my training age and designed to push me. Consistent check-ins and adjustments were conducted as needed, both in and out of the gym! Would highly recommend them for both brand new lifters and advanced, both would learn loads!

Expérience fantastique: I used to work out alone - ended up only giving it 75% effort most of the time. Now I always bring 100% effort to the table because of the awesome: atmosphere, staff, members and music. Chris and Storm blow my mind with their sound technical knowledge when it comes to lifts.They always take the time to lay out the timings and muscle activation for many of the lifts that I've been doing wrong my entire life. Thanks guys. The weights are great but the facilities aren't the best. You won't find another cross-fit gym that offers a lower price anywhere in Kingston though.

Expérience fantastique: The coaches Crossfit Queen Street have motivated me to surpass all of my personal fitness expectations. They have taught me so much, and I am now much more confident with my weight training. This is by far the most I have ever gotten out of a work out program. Highly recommend this gym over all others!

Expérience fantastique: Callum, Storm and the gang do a great job running this gym. Best prices in town as well as best service. Usually at least two trainers running each class.

Expérience fantastique: Top notch facility...excellent coaches and lots of good people

Expérience fantastique: Awesome coaches! Awesome community! Really enjoyed my experience there!

Expérience fantastique: So sick.

Expérience fantastique: The atmosphere is always inviting and welcoming! Amazing classes that push you and fantastic coaches that are always there for support, motivation and questions!

Expérience fantastique: Being a part of Queen Street fitness for the last 3 years was truly one of the highlights of my time in Kingston. Having done drop-ins at 4-5 other CrossFit gyms across the country, I find comparatively Queen Street is superior in every aspect: every single coach is attentive, approachable and genuinely excited about helping you meet your personal fitness goals; many time slots to choose from for classes and very flexible drop-in times; wide range and good number of equipment. If you are thinking about trying CrossFit style workouts but are intimidated/not sure what to expect: The coaches are excellent at offering options to scale the workouts to your abilities with a focus on safety, and the community is so incredibly supportive, no matter your fitness level. Queen Street is such a special place and I'm genuinely sad to be leaving as I'm moving from Kingston, but I hope others can benefit from being as part of Queen Street as much as I have.

Expérience fantastique: Awesome location! Great coaches. Very inspiring, professional and knowledgable.

Expérience fantastique: This is one of the best boxes I have ever dropped into. The staff and coaches were beyond friendly and welcoming. The members were equally as delightful. If you are in Kingston, and have the opportunity to drop in, or join, do it. If I could I would go here as often as possible

Expérience fantastique: This gym has an amazing atmosphere and sense of community. The facility and equipment are all also great!

Expérience fantastique: great gym, great owners

Expérience fantastique: Professional and friendly coaches. Loved my experience there.

Expérience fantastique: I joined CF Queen Street last September and I love it here! The community is so supportive and motivating and the coaches are really great. It's soo beginner friendly yet definitely challenging enough for more advanced athletes.

Expérience fantastique: I joined CrossFit Queen Street in July and it was the best decision I've ever made. Storm, Callum, Sean and Matt are all fantastic coaches! They are very motivating, supportive and they make the CrossFit experience really fun and challenging! I have never been very athletic but CrossFit Queen Street has made this type of fitness accessible for all fitness levels, whether you can lift 5 lbs or 200 lbs there is a place for you here. They take the time to explain the movements and discuss scaling on an individual basis prior to beginning the workouts. I am a much more confident and motivated person and I've only been going for two months. I can't wait to see where I am in a year! Thanks for everything you do guys!

Expérience fantastique: Storm, Callum and the group at Queen St do a great job motivating and teaching athletes to become proficient with a number Olympic and gymnastic movements. This attention to detail is what separates them from the pack when it comes to crossfit gyms. By ensuring proper technique they help their athletes stay healthy and strong in order to train hard. Cannot say enough great things about their gym and gym community. It is worth the free intro class to see what it is all about!

Expérience fantastique: Awesome location close to the downtown core. Despite being in a basement there is lots of natural lighting and it is very spacious. The equipment is all nice and fairly new and the lay out was well thought out. The coaches are really personable, welcoming, and know what they're doing. CrossFit has a bad rap for churning out coaches with no experience but these guys have education and experience well beyond the weekend certification course.

Expérience fantastique: Amazing gym! You can tell that Storm, Callum, and all the other coaches really care about your progress. No matter if you`re an absolute beginner or an experienced pro, they tailor the workouts just for you

Expérience fantastique: Excellent equipment, awesome coaches and most friendly people in Kingston!

Expérience fantastique: Such a beautiful gym and the coaches aren't too bad to look at either! Always love getting my sweat on in this place. They put safety first and make you feel great even if you have a few extra pounds to lose. Try it out! Would recommend to everyone!

Expérience fantastique: Excellent group of coaches, excellent facility. Would highly recommend to any of my friends!

Expérience fantastique: Excellent equipment, awesome coaches and most friendly people in Kingston!

Expérience fantastique: I was introduced to CrossFit a few months ago here at CrossFit Queen Street, and it's been the best decision I've made in a long time. The gym is welcoming, coaches are motivating and always helping out with technique, plus there's a great sense of community! There's always people visiting too! Would highly recommend coming in for a free first class!

Expérience fantastique: I moved to Kingston in august 2015 and it took me 4 months to find out about Queen Street here. I emailed the coaches before joining to find out some information about whether it would be suitable for me or not. They were really helpful, very welcoming and encouraging. After attending a knackering free trial in January I joined and its been the best decision ever! I had never done any weight lifting and was nervous about trying it, however the coaches and other gym users break things down with demonstration, warm up drills and take you through everything step by step, regularly checking everyone's technique and making suggestions for improvement and spotting you when you move up weights. The workouts are different everyday which keeps you on your toes, interested and working hard, you work on different muscle groups throughout the week and week to week so you really feel the full body burn - its amazing! It's the most fun I've ever had in a gym, the community in this particular club is outstanding and its a pleasure to spend an hour or more of your time there a day (or whatever you can) as its sociable aswell as aspiring. I have made huge improvements since being there, achieving things I never thought I'd be able to do and my only regret is that I didn't know about it earlier. I'm leaving this week as we're going back to the UK and I will genuinely miss the gym, coaches, people and friends I have met and made there!! Dont miss out!

Expérience fantastique: Great gym and great community!

Expérience fantastique: An outstanding facility with absolutely superb instructors. Callum and Storm have fostered a supportive community and challenge every member to accomplish their fitness goals.

Expérience fantastique: Absolutely LOVE this gym! I was a 4th year student at Queen's when I went to check it out, and had a blast. Great community, knowledgeable coaches who make your safety the priority, and some awesome workouts. All of this for VERY reasonable rates (probably the most reasonable CrossFit rates I've ever seen). Go check it out!
