Actus has an insane community. I absolutely love the group sessions. When you step in this gym, it's like you enter a different reality. You will be forever challenged with new movements and weights. You will also make insane progress if you keep showing up! And you'll be excited to show up. Wherever you are in your fitness journey, everyone there supports you and everyone is putting in some serious hard work. You'll learn a whole lot about fitness and yourself in the process. I know it because I've made the best gains, and met my best friends and coaches at this gym.

CrossFit Actus is a community-focused gym offering very clean facilities, personal training and CrossFit group classes capped at 10. Members are range in age and skill level, offering scaled workouts for those new to CrossFit or with injuries. Owner Jonathan is very approachable, and will help anyone new to CrossFit or experienced join the community. Coaches Tomas, Aaron and Alex are familiar faces there to answer any questions. If you are visiting Ottawa or looking to join CrossFit for the first time or switch boxes, check out Actus!

After researching several Ottawa CrossFit Boxes, I landed at Actus for many reasons; most notably the atmosphere, small class sizes and the quality of coaches / owners. The combination of the aforementioned has culminated into a new passionate pursuit of CrossFit as a 45 year old athlete (one who avoided traditional gyms and non-functional movement). In the last couple of months I went from a nervous and cautious participant to an enthusiastic member with confidence that coaches will enable and keep me safe. The culture and atmosphere starts with the owners and embraced by coaches and members alike. Come for a free class, sign up for the mechanics course and join... as a former Ironman Triathlete and endurance runner, CrossFit is helping to build a balanced body. Hope to see you there... smiling and working hard. Goodbye running arms and nicknames of T-Rex. LOL.

What a great box and better people. Was in town for a quick work visit and glad I was able to connect with the owner Jonathan and his staff who graciously took me in and helped me through with the work out. Some box can be quite intimidating and the vibe from this gym is anything but that. The coach Jonah and the brief interactions with the members was friendly which made the workout quite fun yet challenging. Definitely worth a revisit next time I am back! Thanks again folks!

I'm so happy to have found Actus. The staff are friendly and attentive, the owner welcoming and very professional, the space is super clean and the gear really well maintained. My 10yo sometimes comes with me to class and gets to hang out with their very cuddly dog Winston. The class schedule is well thought out, and the app to book a class works like a charm. Working out with the other members is massively motivating. Everyone is encouraging, helpful and inspiring. Special thanks to Aaron for guiding me through my Mechanics classes. His patience and guidance were really appreciated.

CrossFit Actus has been a nice surprise to me. Being in Ottawa as visitor I found this gym on Google and I decided to attend the morning class. The environment is friendly and cozy, the instructor are nice, competent and very attentive. The gym is clean, the spaces are well distributed and the equipment is top class. I travel a lot and I've seen a lot of gyms. I can say that CrossFit Actus is one of the best I've ever seen. I really enjoyed it and I would highly reccomend CrossFit Actus.

Excellent equipment, family atmosphere, and great coaching! Highly recommended for those looking to learn the fundamentals of Crossfit at their own pace.

CrossFit Actus is an awesome gym. The owners are welcoming and the coaches are very knowledgeable, attentive and encouraging. The gym is the cleanest and best decorated I've been to! Would highly recommend!

Great experience so far, friendly environment, small classes and excellent coaches!

I've been at Actus for 8 months now. The staff is very friendly, knowledgeable, and strong believers of safety first. Almost as soon as I started private lessons, I felt part of the family. And once I started the group classes, there was a sense of belonging no matter what level of fitness I had. Dont get me wrong, classes challenge you, but it's good. Class sizes are kept small for better monitoring. Modifications can be made to tailor the workout and build stability around my injuries... I've been successfully healing from 3 old spinal injuries. I've had nothing but a positive experience. I would definitely recommend giving it a try.

(Translated by Google) Here we find the true spirit Crossfit: community and sharing. The coaches are attentive, safe and efficient, the owners invested and passionate! In short, a box in which you want to stay! Thanks again (Original) On retrouve ici le vrai esprit Crossfit: communauté et partage. Les coachs sont attentionnés, sécuritaires et performants, les proprios investis et passionnés! Bref une box dans laquelle t’as envie de rester! Encore merci

Great place to workout, people are friendly, I can see myself continuing to workout here for a long time. :)

Wow! I have nothing but great things to say about this gym. The trainers, Jonathan and Sebastien, are phenomenal and put together the ideal program for you according to your goals. The facility is excellent and boasts virtually everything for your fitness needs, from rowing machines, air bikes, dumb bells, skipping ropes, to pull up bars. It has only been 1 month that I have been training here and I am already seeing results in that my waist line is getting slimmer and I am noticing gains in strength and cardio capacity! If you are unable to make it to the gym, they do offer remote training so the trainers will put together a program for you and provide feedback while you train at home or another gym.

Great gym and great people!!

Everything is awesome; coaching, workouts, people! Love it!

Awesome staff, friendly members, and with small classes of 8 with tonz of cleaning products, I felt comfortable working out during COVID.

As a first time cross-fit participant, the crew at Actus was incredibly welcoming and took the time to introduce exercises to me. They were able to help me adapt my current abilities to the exercises so that I could slowly learn the more advanced steps! I always left feeling so fulfilled! All the coaches are incredible and very knowledgeable. The gym has a great supportive culture and I would definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a more challenging workout in a goal oriented setting. A huge thank you to the Actus team!

Beautiful gym! Very clean and a lovely welcome area. Great communication with Jonathan and set me up with a 2 week membership while visiting Ottawa. Something about walking into a CrossFit space that makes one feel like home and this place is no exception. I look forward to my stay and take in a few more classes.

Total beginner to CrossFit when I started but as a result of the people at this gym, have now developed a personal interest in it. Ultimately leaving because I moved but I plan to continue because of the lasting impression of the coaches and the environment. Also Connie is a great weightlifting coach. Keep it up Actus!

Friendly, motivated and creative coaches that do an amazing job at supporting you and building a team atmosphere! Great gym!

What a great community to be a part of. Close knit and encouraging. The workouts are tough and everyone supports one another through them!

Jonathan was super helpful, knowledgeable, and welcoming. The gym is super clean, spacious, and has great equipment.

So glad I decided to join the CrossFit Actus community as I was a bit intimated at first by the idea of CrossFit. The classes are fun, the people are supportive and the coaches are super knowledgeable. I've learned a lot from each session & the coaches are super attentive and approachable. I especially enjoyed the weightlifting classes with Connie. Would highly recommend this gym for anyone looking to start their journey into CrossFit!

I joined Actus five months ago, and I don't regret my decision. Initially, I was intimidated by the movements since CrossFit is my first foray into fitness. I never went to any gym before going here, and I'm glad to have started my fitness journey here. The coaches are patient and super helpful, the environment is welcoming to all kinds of people, and the workouts are really badass. A 10/10 experience so far!

Fantastic gym. I was new to Crossfit when i first joined, but was expertly guided to learn many lifts and move at my own pace and then encouraged to push hard. Great coaches, great community, and great place regardless of what level of physical fitness you are at. Highly recommend.

I dropped into CrossFit Actus for 2 weeks while I was in the City for training. Everyone at the gym was super welcoming and friendly. Jonathan responded to my requests/questions very quickly via email. The classes were well organized and the coaches were knowledgeable. It was also handy to have the open-gym option. Jonathan makes himself available during open-gym times to help out members - which is not something I've seen before! I really liked this aspect. The facility is clean and organized and it's very convenient for showering/getting ready for the day (if this is something you will need to do). I will definitely be visiting CrossFit Actus again when I'm back in the City. Thank you to Jonathan and the Crossfit Actus team!! Dayna

Great place, totally recommend it to anyone regardless of fitness level. Coaches are awesome with lots of fun workouts!

Great box! CrossFit Actust is a wonderful community for anyone who wants to get in shape for any caliber of individuals. From beginners to more advance, people will support you and encourage you to become better and stronger 💪! Highly recommend it!

I just started at Actus and I really like it! Coaches are knowledgeable, motivating and fun! The gym is well organized, clean, and well equipped. The booking system is easy to use and Jonathan is great at setting you up for what you need. Class sizes are perfect and allows you to get to know familiar faces. So far, Actus has been everything I could want from a CrossFit box 😃💪🏼🫶🏼

I love this gym! Small class sizes so you know the coach is watching your form, large space for class as well as open gym. Very friendly and encouraging community!

The coaches and owner were great to deal with and were excellent in accommodating me when I needed to move across the country on short notice. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to get into or continue their CrossFit journey!

Looking for a deluxe crossfit experience here it is. The coaches are knowledgeable, the facility is always clean and the equipment is top notch! CrossFit Actus is a must try for anyone looking to improve their fitness!

Knowledgeable and fun coaches and a supportive community. Classes are available throughout the day. Friday's Weightlifting Class has helped me to learn and improve proper technique.

This was my first time at a cross fit gym, the coach Sebastian and the other members were so welcoming and very knowledagble. I felt motivated and supported the whole time, the space was clean and inviting. Great spot to check out!

For the last 20 years, I’ve been struggling to find a gym where I felt like I belong. A gym where people care and coaches who actually coach. I joined CrossFit Actus six months ago and have loved every minute of it! It is a safe and welcoming environment and for everyone. If anyone is interested in trying CrossFit, please look no further! This team will set you up for success no matter what level you’re at. Thank you Actus team ❤️

Crossfit Actus is an exceptional gym in Ottawa. The gym is very well organized and clean, the coaches are friendly and experienced. The community at Actus is supportive and uplifting. I have always felt welcome and supported. Would highly recommend.

Not sure if it’s CrossFit that I love or if it’s Actus. A couple years ago I moved back to Ottawa and was in a sweet opportunity to restart my life. There was a few things I decided I was going to work on, at the top of my list was my social life and getting back in shape. Actus and I took care of both these things pretty quick. Don’t scare yourself away from CrossFit because of how intense it appears. The coaches at Actus seem to really know and understand every individual persons physical limitations and tendencies. Not only are the coaches on point... the other members are all amazing! Such an amazing community vibe.

I've enjoyed CrossFit Actus for a little over a year. Classes are always challenging and offer lots of variety. You are never bored and always challenged. Coaches can and will adapt any to accommodate ability or injury so you can complete the work out with everyone else. Member encourage and support each other giving the gym a community feeling. While some members do competition, most are there to challenge themselves .

Forever grateful to CrossFit Actus for getting me into CrossFit. Great coaches, great environment and I couldn’t be happier with the time I spent there.

Amazing experience. Great community, great workouts, comprehensive coaching and workouts. Don’t be scared to try it, you could not find a more welcoming environment for everyone, athletes and beginners!

Amazing staff, great atmosphere. Started because my girlfriend made me, stayed because I had fun and got fitter.

From day 1 my experience at Crossfit Actus has been amazing! From the great coaches to outstanding community every single session has always left me with a smile on my face. Best box in town!

This was my first time trying CrossFit and I loved every class during my first week. The coaches were always so patient and knowledgeable as I learned new techniques with all different levels in the class. It was a great feel good workout with everyone being so supportive.

I dropped in when traveling through Ottawa. A great atmosphere, great coach and awesome workout!

My sister is a member at this gym, and whenever I visit her in Ottawa I look forward to working out here. The staff are always so kind and welcoming, the workouts are hardcore, and the facilities are great. If I lived in Ottawa I would make this my permanent gym.

Today was our second drop in at Actus. Coach Aaron is extremely knowledgeable, easy to follow and fun. (You would never know he just graduated high school 😏. Just joking.. ) The noon class crowd was very welcoming and friendly. The facility is clean and well equipped. We will definitely visit again.

Amazing place to workout. Nice people and really good coaches.

My husband and I did the mechanics program at CrossFit Actus and it was amazing! Both challenging and fun, we learned the basics of CrossFit exercises. Our coach, Thomas, was very informative, professional and caring. We will definitely be continuing our CrossFit journey.

Crossfit Actus feels like coming home. After searching for a few years in Ottawa for a gym that fit me, I finally found what I was looking for with Actus. Actus offers fantastic coaching, and a community that is supportive and like your second family.

Had a great introduction to CrossFit Actus! Very clean and specious facility with friendly staff! Jonathan took an hour of his time to show me how to properly climb a rope. For that, I am grateful and would highly recommend CrossFit Actus to anyone!

CrossFit Actus has been my home for 3 years, and I really do mean home. I moved to Ottawa 4 years ago and it’s this community that made me feel like home. Amazing members and amazing coaches. I was a bit scared when I walked in day 1 with the little to no knowledge in had in lifting. That fear did not last long. With the classes capped at 10 and a team of dedicated coaches I was able to learn and grow in a very supportive atmosphere. To this day, I still learn something new every time I attend a class because the coaches know their members and continue to guide us in perfecting our form and attaining our goals. If you’re in Ottawa, please come check out this amazing community!

Excellent and friendly place with superb coaches

As a former athlete, I found myself missing the competitive and team-oriented environment that used to motivate me. After a few years of debating if I should try CrossFit, I stumbled upon Actus and decided to give them a shot. I booked a free consultation session with Tomas and it didn't take long for me to become hooked and find exactly what I was looking for. At this point, my only regret is not starting sooner. Actus is truly unique in that the incredible coaches and remarkable community leave you feeling inspired and motivated to continue working towards your fitness goals. Each class offers something new. The small (yet competitive) class sizes allow you to receive the coaching you need to continually learn and improve on your fitness journey regardless of skill level. Jonathan, the owner, is also incredibly approachable and always available to discuss your goals and provide advice. The facility and equipment itself is very well maintained and always clean. Finally, what really sets this place apart has to be the incredible coaches. A huge shout out to Aaron, Alex, Tomas and Dom! These coaches continue staying patient while I learn yet they make sure to keep me motivated and push me to learn new functional and skilled movements day in and day out. If you are looking for a change from your same old gym routine, or if you are ready for a new fitness challenge, I would urge you to give Actus a chance. P.S. Actus is also home to the cutest gym puppy, too!

Super clean, great trainers, and lots of learning. Thanks Actus!

If you've always struggled with maintaining your commitment towards your fitness goals, try Crossfit Actus! The inclusive and friendly atmosphere, coupled with knowledgeable coaches and top-notch gear make this a place where its actually "fun" to work out.

If you feel a bit intimidated by the idea of trying CrossFit, this place is for you! You get one on one coaching initially, and after that, ratios of coach to CrossFitters are 1 to 10 so you’ll get the feedback you need until you figure out the sequences. A very welcoming environment for anyone new to it and looking for a challenge. The owner really cares about his business and clients which is evident in the way it’s managed. Try it; you’ll love it! I wasn’t even sure CrossFit was for me but you can work at your level and adapt exercises. I compete against myself but you can compare to others also if that’s your thing. I can’t get this level of workout on my own; the classes do push me harder and when I go often enough I do see results!

Crossfit Actus is an awesome box! I've been to a lot of other box, but a few compare to Actus. Jon and his team are extremely dedicated to their customers and you can feel it right from you very first visit. It is very clean, dual class set up rock, coaching is very professional and members are very welcoming. If you're looking for a crossfit gym in the NCR, consider Actus.

This is my go-to CF box when I'm in Ottawa! It's in a convenient location for me, but what's more important (and the reason I always go back) is that the community is awesome. I've been to over two-dozen CF boxes around the world, so I have a frame of reference when I say that CF Actus is exceptionally welcoming. Equally important is that the coaches are knowledgeable and the WODs are excellent; I always learn something when I train here. Keep up the great work, Team Actus!
