I honestly can’t say enough good things about UVU. This is the most welcoming gym I have ever been in to. Kenny and his team have created such a welcoming environment from the second you step in for your first class or your 25th class - and they make a point to address everyone by name. Their positive attitudes also attract very positive and hardworking clients, only adding to their friendly space. The HIIT workouts are VERY tough but the trainers are so encouraging and helpful and are awesome at helping you adapt the exercises to your fitness levels. There are also a wide variety of class times so you can always fit a class or two into your schedule. Beyond the HIIT classes, they also offer a weekend boxing class which is equally tough and fun. On top of the classes, they offer awesome amenities including showers and free towels. This is honestly the best place to get in a tough workout with some amazing people!

Welcoming and friendly vibe with knowledgeable staff. Classes target the whole body and are kept small so you’re guaranteed to have an instructor guiding you and helping you with form for amazing results. Attention is on detail and quality!!!!!! Highly recommend the shakes and protein balls post workout too!!! A def must to check out this spot.

Awesome new boutique gym on Bank st with great facilities. The strength/HIIT/circuit style workouts are completely scalable to be challenging for anyone, regardless of fitness level. Great classes for both beginners starting out, or seasoned athletes looking to switch it up. The staff are extremely knowledgeable, attentive and friendly. Good vibes all around!

Amazing workout classes! Small groups so the trainers can really focus on your form and execution. Perfect mix between weight training and cardio. Really recommend!!

UVU Trainers are all top of the line and the other gym goers are just as friendly. Good ambience, good vibes and good sweat!

they made me sexy again

Such a great studio! I have been going for a month now and hands down, the best circuit/weight training gym in the city. The trainers are so knowledgeable and helpful, and really provide great instruction and guidance throughout the class. The studio atmosphere is warm and inviting, with fully stocked change rooms. Way to go Kenny and UVU team!

I liked the structure of the course. The encouragement also played a great part. I would definitely do it again. It allowed me to take a lot of knowledge home as well to ensure I maintain proper form when performing circuits.

Amazing place!!! You feel so welcome the moment you walk through the door, and everyone here is very friendly & supportive. Excellent trainers, modern & clean facility, killer workout & really great vibe all around. Highly recommend 👌🏼

More than a gym- a place where I truly feel safe, have fun, & get a great work out in. The work outs are diverse and dynamic, so I don't get bored (seriously, never bored). It's a place where I learned proper form thanks to the knowledge & experience of the trainers. I have met a community of really great people here & am always excited to attend a class.

UVU Fitness has created an impact on my life for the better. Each class has its challenges but the energy and community keeps me wanting to go back for more. If you’re looking for a space to gain emotional, physical & mental strength - I highly recommend.

I never thought I could ever make it to the gym at least 5x a week, and here I am going 5-6x a week. The atmosphere is just so great that it makes you want to come every single day!! Kenny’s big smile once u walk in that door, the amazing trainers that push you to your limit, the choice of music, clean facility, and I can’t forget .. the amazing MOMMA C PROTEIN BALLS. I’ve tried so many gyms in the centretown location, and I have I say...UVU has to be the best gym. :)

Loved the VIBE. Instructors are super friendly ! Tried Mike's Strike & Fit class and it was just great ! Fun, energizing and awesome looking gym. They definitely have what it takes to motivate and keep you pushing until the end.

My new favourite place to sweat! Great vibe, killer workouts and all the trainers are so knowledgeable & genuinely kind people. Also...the post workout protein balls are to DIE for!! Thanks UVU Fitness for creating such a fun space

Awesome workout!

Great atmosphere and staff! Must try for any and all fitness levels:)

Awesome classes - amazing workouts! Thank you, Semir!

Great workout with a positive and challenging environment. Love the UVU team!

It's been awhile since I did a class like this, but the guys were welcoming and encouraging. They demonstrated all the exercises with great form, and then continually checked in to offer suggestions and encouragement. It's always a good sign when you can barely feel your arms at the end of a workout! I'll be back!

Smartest, well thought out workouts. Trainers are very welcoming and kind. I've tried alot of similar style gyms in the area and this one is by far the best! Best burn and best energy all around.

I cannot say enough how happy I am to have found UVU Fitness! Phenomenal all around; great workouts that make you push yourself and be damn proud once its done, and staff who are so welcoming and knowledgeable. This place is a must try!

Excellent workout and a great team. A+++

Amazing full body workouts boot camp/HIIT style. Really awesome, welcoming staff makes starting a new fitness routine less intimidating. They always have two or three trainers on during a workout to show you proper form or modifiers or ways to make an exercise more challenging. I've been going here for almost a month and I've already seen huge changes in my fitness level and appearance.

I love UVU. It is such a welcoming community that truly cares about their members. Kenny and Jodie are the best. Thank you for creating such a wonderful place.

Outstanding place. Super clean and sanitary. Great place for a wide variety of group training. Lots of variety, and the staff is very friendly and welcoming.

Wow super challenging but amazing workout. Definitely worth a try at least. I’ll be getting a membership for sure.

UVU is such a welcoming gym, I’m very glad I got out of my comfort zone and joined at the end of the summer. Great creative workouts for everyone that are guaranteed to give you a good sweat!! Check them out :)

They have everything your looking for!

The trainers are attentive and the class formats are always interesting and well planned for maximized workouts!

Your friendly neighborhood gym!

Super friendly staff, the class was good cardio, the instructions were well explained, the equipment looks to be new and well maintained, just an all around good environment

Great classes for all levels and even better community. Friendly staff that make you excited to go to classes but still push you to constantly be getting better. I used to train at an elite level and this is the first studio I've found in ottawa that pushes me the right amount while still keeping classes fun.

Quick workout that challenges you to your limit. Great for ppl who don't have a lot of time to fit in regular workout routines. Whether your a beginner or avid trainer, you have the ability to choose your challenge level.

They're no longer interested in replying to emails and phone calls?

I am very happy that UVU opened in my neighbourhood. Everything about this studio has been well thought out: the mix of weighted exercises and cardio in each class, the physical layout of the studio, even down to the music choices. They make sure that busier classes have two instructors so that everyone gets proper training support. And they have Sunday classes which I am thrilled about. People in the classes come from a mix of different fitness levels, but everyone is challenged to achieve their personal best and has a great workout!

Took my first class at UVU on Saturday and absolutely loved it! Pads & Technique was a great class for beginners, and Mike was super supportive and directional. Experienced members take this class as well, which is very inspirational and motivating for a newbies potential progress. Can’t wait to go again on Monday!
