Polsky's Strength & Conditioning (CrossFit^® PSC)

Expérience négative: Some trainers are great and others can be rude and disrespectful.

Expérience fantastique: The best.

Expérience fantastique: In 2020, I joined Polsky when I was overweight and on the edge of health issues. Since then, my health has improved significantly. I've lost excess fat, gained stamina, learned gymnastics movements, improved my mobility, and mastered proper lifting techniques. Polsky is the best gym in Canada, with reasonable fees for the services provided. The coaches are exceptional and take great care of you. The massage therapy from Kait is top-notch. I love this place and it will be my forever go-to gym. check out my before-and-after photos to see the incredible difference since joining the gym.

Expérience fantastique: Amazing community with supportive members. I am so grateful to have met and connected with this team. Highly recommend!! Owner is incredible and truly cares about community

Expérience fantastique: Started in late 2018. Great programming , a great community and even better results ! Would recommend at all skill levels .

Expérience fantastique: Absolutely phenomenal gym! From the moment you step through the doors, you're welcomed into a warm, supportive community that feels like family. The coaches are incredibly experienced, offering a wealth of knowledge and guidance every step of the way. The attention to detail is impressive, with top-notch equipment meticulously maintained for optimal performance. Whether you're a beginner or seasoned athlete, this gym has everything you could want and more. Couldn't recommend it highly enough!

Expérience fantastique: Great crossfit gym. I joined last year around March. The workout is designed in a way that improves your whole health.I had digestion issues which went away soon after I joined PSC. I can clearly see my progress in strength, stamina, muscle gain and fat loss. The coaches put a lot of effort in the class and pay attention to everyone for good form and scaling options. The community is great which motivates you to go to gym and do more in workouts.

Expérience fantastique: Been going for a few months now, started as an absolute beginner. The coaches are all excellent at teaching everything, and the atmosphere was very welcoming for a beginner. I have progressed significantly here and the daily workout has become a great part of my routine.

Expérience fantastique: I like to drop in to CrossFit boxes when I travel and Polsky's is the best CrossFit box I've been to (regionally and in the US) - especially for the quality and caliber of its coaching. And it's almost a little weird this level of coaching (and athletes) are in Kitchener! What's also remarkable is how consistent it is - where other boxes you see it diminish over time or from the standard set by the owners or a particularly passionate coach, of the four I've had so far, each has been excellent at identifying, correcting form and improving skills (and they aren't obnoxious about it). I'd strongly recommend this gym for new and experienced athletes alike. I've been doing CrossFit since 2012 and I've generally always been more focused about not getting injured over personal records or winning anything. Having once missed a box jump it's a nice touch that all their boxes are padded. And even more so, that they keep class sizes small and for skills work athletes do their lifts 3 or 4 at a time ensuring the coach sees everything. What's also unique about Polsky's is that they also have a supplemental training/"competitive" program that I signed up for as I'm here for a month (Waterloo's my home town). I signed up only after multiple assurances you don't actually have to be competitive (like everything else typical to CrossFit, there are always scaling options). I can pretty confidently say that I'll be stronger, have more endurance and execute more efficiently by the time I leave - and I'll definitely be coming back, when I drop in, in the future. PS I saw another review complaining about the price. Yes, I think it's a bit more expensive than others regionally, but you definitely get what you pay for - especially here.

Expérience fantastique: Great place for workout. Feel like family

Expérience fantastique: Great members, great coaches, great RMT and great programming.

Expérience fantastique: THE BEST GYM! The coaching here is by far the best compared to the 3 other CrossFit gyms I’ve trained at. The community is wonderful.

Expérience fantastique: Great place, amazing culture. Nick and all the trainers help correct your technique so you can progress, you just have to put in the work

Expérience négative: Way way way overpriced for what you get. Some basic circuit training for an insanely high membership price. These guys also proved themselves as hypocr*tes as they made a huge deal about breaking away from the "crossfit" brand for woke reasons.. now a short time later they support all crossfit functions and offer crossfit training. lol. Weak publicity stunt.

Expérience fantastique: Such Fitness! Legit Coaching, equipment and taste in music [except for Jack]

Expérience fantastique: If you came to get your sweat on, you have come to the right place! I came here with a friend to try it out and I absolutely loved everything about this place! Not only are the instructors and owners amazing (they are super supportive, kind, knowledgeable, and just all-around awesome), but the clientele are just as supportive and amazing! The owners and staff have created a very safe and fun environment for all! It doesn't matter your fitness or knowledge level, the instructors will adjust to your level to make sure you are both challenged and feeling successful! If you get a chance to try it, do it! It will be very much worth it!

Expérience fantastique: This gym has a fantastic sense of community! When staff and athletes see you out in the community, they recognize and engage with you. Kaitlyn and Nick are super professional, and their coaching staff are some of the best around. I’m really happy to have found this gym rather than going to some commercial gym where I’m just another number/account.

Expérience fantastique: Awesome gym! Ive always found it hard to be consistent and in turn see results but Polskys has really pushed me in a positive way to become stronger/better shape and health. The accountability and class structure creates a great community with knowledgeable/kind coaches and people. Competitions and changing workouts keep things fun and different. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for my strength and conditioning.

Expérience positive: Totally professional environment & coaches care about you.

Expérience fantastique: Came to town for a few days and dropped in on a couple of classes and this was hands down the best gym I have ever been to. Great environment always felt included and the coaching staff are phenomenal, very supportive, friendly, and definitely know their stuff. Can’t wait to come back for another class.

Expérience fantastique: An absolutely outstanding gym, run by outstanding people. Great culture, great coaching.

Expérience fantastique: I switched to PSC two weeks before the CV19 shutdown and have been really impressed. I've tried similar gyms in the region and while travelling, PSC is by far the best. Their equipment and gym is well maintained and always clean. The smaller class size allows the coaches to address the individual needs of every member. After years at another gym I have been able to improve my technique on multiple gymnastic skills and olympic lifts. The programming is excellent, there is daily variety and enough repetition throughout the month of each skill/strength to allow improvement. In a few months, I have been able to perform at a level I had struggled to achieve for years While they were closed due to CV19 the owners provided members with dumbells and challenging gdaily workouts that could be done at home. They also checked in with me personally to see how I was doing. They are very passionate about their business and it shows.

Expérience fantastique: 10/10 best gym

Expérience fantastique: If you’re reading reviews about this gym, well...it means you’re interested! All you have to do is join, show up, have fun and enjoy an amazing workout! Still not convinced? Then I invite you to read my ( 2nd) review about Polsky’s It might be slightly lengthy, but I’ll be as detailed as possible for you to eliminate that 1% of uncertainty!!! I’ve joined this community in June 2018, & guess what…I’m still here! I’ve never lasted more than few months or a year at other places…something was always missing, wasn’t feeling happy, comfortable, workouts weren’t productive… (list can go on!!!!)… That is…until I found Polsky’s. Yes, indeed, I wrote an early review, few weeks after joining this gym. My initial thought was, … well..it can be summarized in 5 words- I FOUND MY HIDDEN JEWEL. . . A lot of people might have thought that this was a normal feeling; all new things are exciting and great at first. But guess what, I still feel the same after more than 2 years. It’s even better!! This place is my home away from home! I’ll be real, I am not a competitive person (just with myself!!!), I am not a professional athlete, & I am not an expert in the fitness world. But joining Polsky’s has helped me tremendously to believe in myself, have confidence in myself, and push myself outside my limits. This place made me fall in love with what Crossfit is all about. My daily routine is not complete if I don’t attend my hour at the gym! As for the workouts, their program is well designed, organized & balanced. You will touch every aspect of what your body & mind needs to improve. (Olympic lifts, regular lifts, gymnastic, cardio, endurance, mobility, stability, plyometric …etc..) Keep in mind that you can’t allow yourself to feel intimidated by others because everyone has different strengths, weaknesses & goals. And trust me, you won’t feel intimidated, but more so, inspired and motivated to better yourself. Workouts can be modified to your needs (eg. Due to injuries) & capacities. Believe me when I tell you that every workout you accomplish, you will feel satisfied, proud, and a step closer to your personal goal. As for the coaches, short & sweet description! Unique & amazing. Their main focus is safety and your well-being. They have eyes all around their heads (!) lol… in a sense, where they make sure (& they work with you) you have the proper position, movement etc.. to accomplish whatever exercise. They will prevent you from injuries, if you listen to them! They are honest, they will tell you to either drop some weights off if your lift didn’t look the way it supposed to look, or they will tell you to trust yourself and go higher in weights…. (it applies for every types of exercises..) They are knowledgeable, attentive, welcoming, caring, fun & funny! They make you feel part of the family and valued. They are open-minded, they listen, and they are always there to help you. Community: there is no community like Polsky. No one is “judgy”, every new member that enters this gym WILL feel welcome right away…don’t be surprised if someone sparks a conversation right away as if you’ve been here for 10 years!!!!! That’s how comfortable you will feel. Everyone cheers & pushes each other up, everyone is happy, we all motivate each other, we all share our experiences, seek advices etc… Well..for now I’m done: so you’re ready yet? If you read ALL THIS (!!), im cheering you on to push yourself to join....!!! its simpe---> Just email them or call them…In God’s honest truth, you won’t regret it. I'll be first to tell you: WELCOME!

Expérience fantastique: Great gym. Coaches are amazing and really care about their members and want the best for everyone that walks in the gym. Awesome community atmosphere. Hands down next gym I've ever attended.

Expérience fantastique: By far top tier facility with top tier coaches. The community is incredible. Nick and Kait run an amazing gym and aside from the best programming and training I have ever received I am lucky to call them friends.

Expérience fantastique: Get shirtless, sweaty and a little wild at this rave disguised as a gym. Consistent class experience. New equipment. Great programming. You can see the passion of the owners and members. Disclaimer: day 43. Original review was accurate.

Expérience fantastique: Was very impressed with the overall setup and design of the facility!

Expérience fantastique: Great people and atmosphere

Expérience fantastique: I've been to a lot of CF boxes around the world and none have come close to CrossFit PSC in a number of respects, most notably: quality/quantity of feedback on lifts, friendliness/community, and availability of equipment.

Expérience fantastique: Great facility with amazing coaches! Nick, Amber, Karla, Sam, and others explain very clearly what you are doing wrong and how you can improve the form. On top of that, PSC is a very welcoming community, and you will never feel left out. I highly recommend this place to anyone who might be looking for a new CF facility!

Expérience fantastique: Small class sizes, detailed oriented coaching staff that will help you reach your goals! Clean and friendly environment.

Expérience fantastique: Best gym hands down!!! Coaches are top notch, class sizes are small so you get a lot of help. The environment is very friendly and encouraging.

Expérience fantastique: The coaching at this gym is top notch and very focused on improving your form. In a few short months my squat has improved in stability, range, and weight. I am not exactly a born athlete, so I appreciate the extra time the coaches spend to make sure I am doing the exercises in a safe manner. While CrossFit can get a bad rap for injuries, I think this is a safe gym to explore the sport. I also like that the gym offers powerlifting and gymnastics focused classes. The community is tight, and some are very competitive, but it is a great place to get stronger with like-minded people.

Expérience fantastique: I was able to loose the waste line in just short 4 mot

Expérience fantastique: PSC's coaching targets forms and techniques in details. It's been 7 months since I switched to PSC and here are what happened to me: Improved shoulder mobility and strength. I really appreciated the coaches would stop me when I was in bad forms and route me to the right path. Learned and improved Olympic lifting and gymnastics forms and skills. Started to train 6 days per week because their program developed my fitness level so I am able to, and I am addicted. I consider the professionalism and quality are very high.

Expérience fantastique: Great place to work out! Super friendly staff and members. Coaches are very knowledgeable and work outs are a blast. Guaranteed to make you sweat!

Expérience fantastique: Crossfit PSC is one of the best gym I've been to. The coaches are well informed and help you get better. The gym is competitive too but if you're someone who just want to train and improve your skills avoid the classes with the top guys LOL. Overall I strongly recommend the gym.

Expérience fantastique: Nick and Kait are great! Very personable and professional. If you're truly looking for a place that really cares about YOU and YOUR GOALS and that will give you the extra push you need to achieve that, then this is the place for you. Amazing facility that is very clean and inviting, excited to do more work with you guys in the future, especially when it comes to getting this body ready for Beach Season ! Congratulations guys and good luck!

Expérience fantastique: This team is makes getting a good sweat in so painless (and extremely fun!). They will push you to work harder, and introduce you to movements that are extremely beneficial in a comfortable, high energy setting. Highly recommend this team.

Expérience fantastique: Best gym in town. Great coaches and members.

Expérience fantastique: Highly recommend!

Don't be scared of "crossfit"... polskys has a diversified group of members from all ages, shape, height, abilities, weaknesses, some are beginners, some are athletes, some are moderate,etc… BUT THE BEST PART IS, we all come together as a team. Everybody is equal. I've done few gyms and crossfit gyms & I can't believe I wasted my time at the other places...lol :( I should have been at Polskys from day 1!!! Im fairly a new member (it'll be a year in june 2019), and I feel like I've been part of this community from day 1. The moment you step in, you are welcome & accepted by everyone. This is a gym that is well balanced in every aspect. I kept quiet when I first started because I wanted to keep this little gem hidden, but I can't be selfish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ITS A MUST LADIES & GENTLEMEN :)

Expérience fantastique: I came to a drop in class while I was travelling for work. Fantastic staff/coaches, welcoming environment, very relaxed feeling throughout . I would recommend it to anyone in the area looking for a quality gym. Hopefully I can come back soon!

Expérience fantastique: Much better than the other cross fit gyms Hands Down !!!!!!

Expérience fantastique: At Polsky's, you can count on relentless support and encouragement from coaches and fellow members, exceptional attention to detail from each of the coaches and a genuinely welcoming community.

Expérience fantastique: This morning at 6 am I went running. I slept and fell on the ice. I badly injured my leg and needed some medical help. Hopefully I was not too far from this gym. I showed up and the people there were very nice to me. They took time to clean my wounds and they drove me back home. I strongly encourage anyone who likes gym/cross-fit to get a membership there. Thanks a lot to the Polsky's early morning team.

Expérience fantastique: Amazing coaches that will teach you the fundamentals of lifting weights and raising your heart rate during workouts. They are there to guide you to make sure each lift is done correctly. You will walk out of there knowing you got better today.

Expérience fantastique: Great gym awesome atmosphere. The owners are amazing and so friendly would recommend going there to anyone. Always made to feel like your welcome and it feels good to go in there and work out can't wait to see their new location

Expérience fantastique: Amazing coaches, awesome athletes, just a great place to train
