Iron Hos Gear

Expérience fantastique: Great workout. Great spot.

Expérience fantastique: This gym has a motivational and disciplined atmosphere. Curd is great to work with, always joking but helping you reach your goals! If you REALLY want to become a better you, this is THE place!

Expérience fantastique: The clanging of plates, the smell of rubber mats, the rattling of the squat rack...I've been gone far too long. And it's all coming back to me. #IronHosGym...struggle-perservere-succeed-inspire. Let's go to work.

Expérience négative: ***FRAUD*** placed an order for t-shirts (3rd order I have placed) on Sept 8/22. They didn’t come, so I reached out via email. I was given a few reasons why… the last email message i received on Oct 23 was “on it”. My next 3 emails were unanswered. On the last email I sent, I asked for a response! I asked for my money to be credited to my card! I gave 3 business days for this to happen. Here we are on Nov 18. No t-shirts or credit. I have gone to the VISA fraud department and launched a claim! So much for buying Canadian and supporting small business.

Expérience fantastique: At first I was unaware of the quality of the equipment from Iron Hos as I had not purchased from a Canadian strength equipment company. After my first purchase, it is needless to say, any reservations were quickly cast out. Since the first purchase or wrist wraps, I have been so impressed I have gone on and picked up knee/elbow sleeves, variances of wrist wraps, and a boat load of cool apparel. The quality is exceptional, and better than some inzer and metal powerlifting wraps.

Expérience fantastique: Awsome gym

Expérience fantastique: Best customer service I've ever experienced!

Expérience fantastique: Hands down best gym I have ever been to. It is small and usually quiet. You can always use the weights and there will always be a machine available. Once you get to know the people who attend you know when everyone will be there. Other gym members are always willing to teach and to help out if you show interest. Curd, the owner is always super helpful if he can be (when he's not busy doing paperwork) and even when he can't help he offers words of encouragement. I've never been anywhere where the atmosphere feels like a family. There is always someone you can call on.

Expérience négative: I’ve never left a review before and I take it seriously. I wouldn’t give a bad review unless I felt it was warranted. If I could give the staff at this place a rating separately I would give a 4 or 5 for being pleasant and courteous. The gym itself however is in disrepair. The ceiling is constantly leaking. On the power lifting side, for the entirety of my 5ish months of working out there, there was some kind of white mold or salt residue creating literal stalagmites (stalactites?) hanging from the ceiling. It is quite dingy. When signing a contract here please read the fine print. Unlike most gyms, which allow you to pay a fee or a percentage of the remaining balance on your contract to cancel, this gym does not allow you to cancel for any reason. If your financial situation happens to change during the duration of your contract, consider yourself out of luck. The owner (Curd Hos) is very curt and completely ignores emails from clients that he does not feel inclined to answering. I have not seen any compassion or any attempt at good customer service from him. I’m very disappointed by the level of service I have received from the owner. In the end, I must continue to pay for a gym membership that I am unable to use because I don’t feel comfortable in the environment.

Expérience fantastique: This is THE best gym in Ottawa, friendly staff and members and excellent equipment. If youre looking for a gym with a helpful and positive environment, Hostyle is your place!

Expérience fantastique: The one problem is I can only give 5 stars I wish I could give these guys more . Awesome gym great owner friendly staff . Great equipment , and. The best part is people are very friendly knowledgeable and always willing to help !

Expérience fantastique: Friendly and well equipped

Expérience fantastique: You want to workout? You want to get big and strong... this is the place where they lift buildings to do that

Expérience fantastique: Best gym in the city. Only one with a monolift. Powerlifting, CrossFit, TRX bands. Anything selective or specialised for strength training they have it. Best rogue bars too! And the owner competes! No egos allowed, great for families and with the limited membership you're never dealing with a full gym. Can also play your own tunes.

Expérience fantastique: Best gym in Ottawa! Everyone is like family there. Owner is awesome. Staff is great. Atmosphere is the best.

Expérience fantastique: Excellent place to stay fit with wonderful staff and great Owner of place

Expérience négative: Many betters gyms then this one. Avoid. As you can see below, they also reviewed their own gym and gave it 5 stars.... Ya right.

Expérience fantastique: I have been a member of Hostyle for almost 2 years. Curd and his team are professional, motivated and not only talk the talk they walk the walk. Everyone at the gym is friendly, welcoming, and encouraging. I have been able to accomplish fitness goals I never thought possible. I am in stronger, leaner and as someone in their mid 50's I am in better shape than I was 20 years ago. That's thanks to the professional training at Hostyle. Thanks Curd and Hostyle for helping me accomplish this.

Expérience fantastique: For many years both me and my husband were couch potatoes. We would get home eat the quickest meal possible and then watch our shows. We were not healthy and we knew it but nothing was working. No gym was giving us what we needed. One day my husband saw a special for Kettlebell basics at Hostyle gym and he decided to go in and check it out. He met the owner Curd Hos and after speaking to him for very little time he came home and told me that we need to go there. We went to meet with Curd together and instantly decided that this is the place that we need to be. After our 4 week basic training I decided that I was not done yet and signed up for another program that was offered. I have now signed up for a year and I am so happy that I did. The staff there are amazing, the trainers are there to help you, encourage you, and no matter what kind of a day you are having they will support you. Hostyle gym is the place that changed my life. I feel better, I look better and I can now walk down the streets with my head held high. Every class that I have taken has been challenging but amazing. I have recommended this gym to everyone that I talk to. Curd, Tobin, Greg, Andrew thanks so much for being who you are and taking the time to train me. This is the gym and the family that I am happy to be a part of. Catherine Solvason Sent from my iPhone

Expérience fantastique: Curd and his team have changed my life! From the incredible workouts to coaches and staff that really care, Hostyle is the place to go if you are serious about taking control of your health and fitness. I wish I could give it 6 stars, but Google caps me at 5. Well done Curd and Hostyle. I'm one of your biggest fans!

Expérience fantastique: I have been a member at Hostyle for almost the last year, in this time I have taken the opportunity to get acquainted with almost everything they offer. The one thing lacking at this gym is the intimidation factor found at most gyms. The staff here take a personal interest in you and your development and are always ready with a suggestion or word of encouragement. They treat everyone who comes into the gym with a level of respect generally reserved for close friends. I can not say enough good about the coaches at Hostyle, don't be fooled these are real people who understand the ups and downs of fitness. The 1 biggest thing I can say about my friends at Hostyle is that they refuse to give up on anyone with any skill set from beginners to competitive lifters. Absolutely love this place!!!!

Expérience fantastique: I have been going to Hostyle for about 3 years and couldn't be happier. As a 40 something I wanted to get considerably stronger and feel confident to take on new challenges. I have done everything from group classes to personal training with Curd himself. I continue to focus on my strength now at 50 and train with Curd because I know his specialty is in this area. He continues to make every workout different, challenging and complete. He advises me on nutrition and consistenly offers new programs such as the 'little black dress' and 'silverback' groups. The environment is unique without the rows of treadmills and a focus on individual improvement. I feel comfortable and yet challenged. It is a supportive environment in every way. And the best part, the staff challenge themselves to try new things as well and lead the way by example. I was in a group where Curd (a weight lifter) challenged us all and himself to participate in a mud run. Impressive to see us all in it together. I would recommend this gym to those that want to do something different, be different and really belong with a great group of people.

Expérience fantastique: Been going there for over 18 months. Was a couch potato before. Staff and trainers are awesome. They are knowledgeable not only about training but body mechanics as well. All the clients and staff know each other. It's one big happy family who workout hard but also have fun.

Expérience négative: I recently went into this gym and was thoroughly disappointed with the gym itself and the owner and his staff, the gym was small, drab, and lacked any type of encouragement. There was a small class in progress, I was at the counter to purchased and item and waited at the counter no one came until I called out for someone to help me, then the trainer comes over to help me, as I am purchasing an item he yells out to the class numerous times getting them to change their exercise while dealing with me.The trainer was definitely not impressive, he was so very overweight , he did not look like he could do any of the exercises he was instructing. I would certainly not join this gym, especially after meeting the owner "Kurt" he was far from impressive himself. There was absolutely nothing professional about this gym.

Expérience fantastique: I absolutely love this place. I started just over a year ago and it's like a second home. The owner is amazing as are all of the coaches and staff. They are all so knowledgeable and are always motivating you to be the best you can be. I've learned a lot in the past year and it continues each class. Totally recommend for all athletic levels... they will work with you to achieve your own personal goals... they actually care!

Expérience fantastique: Curd and his team are some of the most knowledgeable, kindest, and hardest-working people I've met to help me reach my fitness and strength training goals. I once walked with a cane and two herniated discs, to now deadlifting close to 500 pounds, all because of Hostyle Conditioning.

Expérience fantastique: In one word "AMAZING".... My son Kyle has been going to Hostyle and training with Jess for about 6 months. Kyle looks forward to every workout with a new found passion because he is seeing great results and craves more. Thanks to Jess for getting him motivated to reach for the sky and showing him hard work does pay off. NO OTHER PLACE COMPARES...PERIOD

Expérience fantastique: My spouse and I decided 2 years ago that we wanted to train together and enhance our fitness endurance and strength. We join Hostyle through Groupon and we have never looked back!! 2 years later, we have both accomplished many fitness goals that we never thought we could accomplish. We considered ourselves at the beginning as fitness newbies. After spending these 2 years with Curd, Jess and the other great coaches, we now consider ourselves as fitness leaders and enthusiasts!!!! Hostyle has changed our lives personally, professionally and has benefited our family in an awesome way! Our oldest daughter trains with Jess in the youth conditioning program and our two other children our counting the years when they can train there too!!! Hostyle Conditioning is best describe as this: HOSTYLE = AWESOME

Expérience fantastique: I've been looking to start doing some kind of training, the orientation/introduction classes let you get a taste of what it's like and let's you decide whether it's for you, the staff are friendly and know what they are doing, and they make you feel like you are part of the family.

Expérience fantastique: I participated in the Fit Mommy Boot Camp. My experience was nothing short of excellent, Jesse Howland is great at what he does. This program got me into excellent shape and made being a sleep deprived mom of two much easier to handle. Hostyle also was open to letting me bring my baby to class as long as he was contained.

Expérience fantastique: The place where awesomeness happens! Daily! -CPT SMASH

Expérience fantastique: Like many, I used to go to the gym for aerobics classes, zumba, and to swim. But over time, this became boring and for the most part required too much effort to get out there. Thanks to Hostyle Conditioning, my workouts are always different and challenging. The environment is friendly and accepting. Best of all, I lost 20lbs in less than 6 months and I am still losing!! Now, my husband I and go together (date night) and we are in the best shape of our 50plus lives! I cannot wait for my next workout!

Expérience fantastique: This place and the people are simply great - super friendly, fun and encouraging. And Jesse....well, I cannot say enough good things about him! he is encouraging, patient, professional and a real good listener too. AWESOME!

Expérience fantastique: Get's you in shape, PERIOD.

Expérience fantastique: I had 2 children and had trouble losing the weight and gaining muscle mass. I was introduced to the Mommy Boot Camps, and within 2 weeks I was seeing my body change for the better. It increased my energy levels, gave me the motivation to get my healthy habits back on track. My trainer (Jess Howland) is extremely knowledgeable and we discussed what my goals were and he's helping me reach them. Hostyle Conditioning is different than other gyms because they realize every person is different and has different goals. I highly recommend Hostyle Conditioning!

Expérience fantastique: If you are looking for a place with lots of chrome and mirrors where you can watch yourself as you knock out your 5th set of bicep curls before a latte and a steam - this isn't it. If you are looking for a place where you can skip the glitter, where you can work out in a t-shirt, where you can train with some great, down-to-earth people, where you have coaches who will challenge you every time you walk through the door, and, most importantly, a place where you can go to achieve your goals - this IS it!

Expérience fantastique: Fun, helpful & encouraging! Keith Purchase (son) has enjoyed and benefited greatly from training at HOSTYLE under his coach Jesse Howland. His technique and strength level shot through the roof and he is more than ready for CIS university football. Thanks to advice from owner Curd Hos, I dropped 16lbs like a stone and it hasn't returned! I was so impressed with the conditioning classes I signed up for regular training. I am THRILLED with the changes I'm getting. It makes leg day bearable! :-) Mediocrity sucks, and at 55, NOW is the time to get in shape. I'd rather push a prowler now than push a walker!!!

Expérience fantastique: Great coaches and amazing workouts A++

Expérience fantastique: The training knowledge and attention to the individual client is awesome. A 6000 sq ft private facility is so refreshing. No crowds, just people serious about getting results. Love it here
