I'm in from Ottawa for work and went to Element CrossFit somewhat at the last minute this evening. The process of signing up for a day pass was super easy. When I arrived, a class was going on (it looked good right away, people working hard but at their own pace). It was easy to walk in, put my stuff down and just observe from a nice little seating area (I find some places you might stand around feeling awkward because you're new). And then Camille from Element came right up and warmly welcomed me to the space. We chatted, I told her my temporary work situation and she gave me options to save money on return visits. I'm not a shy person, so I don't generally have trouble integrating into new places, but having someone greet me was completely unexpected. And super nice. I quickly met another member who was also waiting for the next class. And then the instructor for the class, Chris, promptly came over to shake my hand and also welcome me. Thanking me for coming. So nice!! Chris saw that there were some new faces so he quickly broke the ice for us and then he got into explaining the program for the hour, with clear demos. Before the warmup started, I could tell the members were at ease, making some fun jokes about the work ahead of us. Another member helped me find the things I needed. And during the class, Chris came around, checking in with each person to make sure they were performing the movements correctly, and offering some suggestions for how to improve or even bump things up a notch. It was a great hour. The members fist bumped each other and I spoke with some of them after the class. Honestly, if this one experience is a measure of the rest of their sessions, I think Element is a fantastic, welcoming environment. I plan to return as soon as I can. Thank you to everyone I met tonight.

Updated January 2022: Element CrossFit has made fitness very accessible during the lockdowns. They have great online classes, run professionally and encouraging coaches. I can't wait to get back to training in person because the energy is always great! I leave every class feeling like I got an awesome workout and learned something new. Updated Review! I have never felt safer training at Element CrossFit. The staff ensure that each station is disinfected, that we are screened before entering, and masks are required upon entry into the facility. Every class member has their own training square with disinfecting wipes, and all the equipment they need to complete the workout. The coaching staff is amazing and I am so happy to be training back at Element!!! My mom and I have been at Element CrossFit for over a year and a half now. We moved from a different CrossFit gym to Element and we are blown away at the immense feeling of community every time we walk through those doors! EVERYONE is so kind, willing to help, and genuinely cares about you. The coaching is amazing and every coach is so attentive to each member and his/her needs. We feel so lucky to be part of Element CrossFit :)

Still a bit new to element but I love it here! The coaches, the staff and everyone has been so welcoming and friendly! Love the workouts, even though I die after each one:)

Exceptional staff, exceptional facilities, exceptional programming. Would highly recommend becoming a member or dropping in when in the area.

This place is my second home! Everyone is so welcoming, the staff rock, coaches are so helpful and encouraging, the gym is so well kept, and Alex does everything he can to build the best community ever! It really is all about community at element and that makes this place more than just a gym! Best decision I’ve made to become a member!

Element Crossfit is the definition of passion, commitment, dedication and grace under pressure! Over the last 2+ years, Element has adjusted and re-adjusted ways to reach their members in a safe, reassuring and fitness-focused manner. Adapting to closures, providing equipment rentals, maintaining employment and ensuring extensive safety and hygiene measures are being followed are just a few ways they've remained a step ahead of all the rest! This gym, and staff are knowledgeable, supportive and creative in the many ways they engage members: virtual workouts, community activities, challenges, etc... Whether you are new to fitness, or been a fanatic for years, the workouts are accessible to all levels and abilities! You'll never regret a workout, but you may regret not showing up! I've been a member for 4+ years, and Element Crossfit is more than a gym - they're family! <3

Element has adopted exceptionally well to Covid19. At the beginning of the pandemic the virtual classes and home coaching program helped me cope with the self isolation. All of the coaches are excellent and the workouts are fun but also challenging. Element continues to offer high quality virtual classes and has also transitioned back to in person classes after the restrictions were lifted. I feel very safe attending classes at the facility due to the high health standards put in place. The doors are kept open providing excellent air flow. Each person has a designated spot marked out to ensure social distancing is enforced as well as mask wearing any time you need to leave your designated spot. The equipment is thoroughly cleaned in between classes by staff and there are also wipes provided at each station. Since joining five years ago my overall strength and fitness have significantly improved.

I drop in here every time I visit Mississauga and have always had a fantastic experience. The facilities are top notch and CLEAN and the coaching, workouts and music are unmatched. Definitely one of all around favorite boxes!

Great gym and amazing staff! Coaches are incredibly friendly and extremely qualified! They know how to push you to the limit in the best way possible with your workouts. Feel like a family and great community. Highly recommend!

Have been with Element for a while. I joined because I wanted efficient workouts. The caches are great and knowledgeable, workouts are varied and the strength component is my favourite. During covid, they went above and beyond to make it feel safe. The little extras they do (Friday Night Lights, challenges, etc.) are just icing on the cake. Highly recommended!

In my opinion, Element is the premier fitness facility for Crossfit in the Mississauga/Oakville area. It is also an amazing gym for anyone wanting to start a fitness journey, increase fitness or just have a great workout. The coaches are knowledgeable, personable, and committed to helping every member reach their fitness goals. Being part of Element is really being part of a family. The members share their ambitions, struggles, goals and accomplishments. I started my fitness journey at age 62, having never done any type of physical activity in my life. If I can do it, anyone can do it.

Element CrossFit; I highly recommend this place and measure up any other gym based on commitment the owner of Element has toward his community of members! Through the ups and downs these past couple years Element continues to provide ways for you maintain your health and fitness goals. Always pivoting to provide for the community. The gym is clean, has excellent equipment and great programming all housed in a spacious facility. Coaches are professional and are attentive to form and individual needs for modifying movements. Great place and the best gym I’ve ever been to.

As a member and part time coach I experience the best of both worlds. A large, safe and friendly facility that is welcoming for all types of members. For someone looking to get personal training, that’s available. For a person who’s never been to a gym before, there are a group of coaches willing to help and teach you all you’ll need to know for each class you show up for. This is a very family friendly gym and once you come to your very first class, you’ll be motivated to come back again and again until it becomes a part of your weekly/daily routine.

I joined this CrossFit gym almost 2 years ago and I have loved every moment of it. I am 16 and have learned how to workout properly. I am challenged every time I attend the workout of the day. I have gained so much strength and endurance and it has helped me in my competitive sports. The people at Element are super cool and welcoming! I have friends that have joined and they love it too. Try this place out, you will not be disappointed.
