Gym where you train with a personal trainer. Each personal trainer as a different style and you get matched with the personal trainer closest to your needs and personality. I had some success here in 2011-2012, but after a quick weight loss I ended up gaining the weight back even while still training here. I didn’t appreciate their membership format. I noticed Free Form Fitness train their personal trainers with their « health and fitness knowledge » and it feels they push this way of thinking to their customers. Some of their advices are not accurate for all and you would be better served getting the knowledge from the appropriate professional. I’m no longer sure the value provided by Free Form Fitness fits my needs.

I have been training with Jesse at FFF in the Byward Market for over 3 years. He is a wonderful trainer: positive, supportive, and delivers results. I not only have seen changes in my physical appearance, but my knowledge of my own body and its strength and potential has expanded greatly. On top of that, I now consider myself someone that really enjoys the gym, something I never thought I would have said 3 years ago. I also had the pleasure of getting some work-outs with Ryan, who was also great and pushes you to your limits! These guys know what they are doing! Highly recommend.

Edit: I went to Free form for a drop in, though the trainer of the HIIT class I did was patient and scaled down the workout. At the end of the class I talked to the owner and told twice I will pay and start coming in regularly, she told she will email me and let me know, but that never happened. Owner and other people are rude. I wanted to give them a 1 star and not write a review, but they replied here that they couldnt find me in their database, probably because they didnt want to put it in there. Why would I email them to talk about anything. when they have not .. Good news is there are plenty of gyms in the town

Free Form Fitness sets the new industry standard when it comes to personalized health and fitness conditioning and training. I am thankful for the dedicated and down to earth trainers that not only posses the knowledge you'd expect from a world class organization, but also their human approach to all issues pertaining to overall health and wellness. This is a comfortable environment where I do not feel judged, and am pushed to attained goals I could not independently. I highly recommend any Free Form Fitness facility to any of my friends and family.

After four months of sessions with Irakli I've not only gained muscle mass but an immense amount of confidence going into a gym environment. His energy and positivity during sessions has pushed and made me look forward to my work outs. As someone who has never had a personal trainer I feel lucky to have had Irakli, he really learns your strengths and weaknesses and tailors your routine to fit your needs. It was a blast, thank you for kick starting my new lifestyle!

Great gym.. trainers are knowledgeable and push you just the right amount.

Any personal trainer looking for a job in the fitness industry I strongly suggest you look elsewhere. These people don’t care about their employees, you could have a trainer that has 10 years of experience and it doesn’t matter to them. They pay most their trainers starting out 14$ for a 30 minute session, they charge 75 dollars and a trainer makes 14 dollars of that, yet the trainer is doing all the work trying to find the client and get the sale. They also do not give you a commission or anything for that matter. You are only paid when you are with the client any new fitness trainer coming up I strongly suggest you look at either movati or GoodLife. At least there you are considered an employee and not self employed.

My experience with Free Form Fitness's new location in the Glebe area has been amazing. Ashley along with her dedicated and talented team of trainers have had a lasting impression on my introduction to the fitness world. I was recommended by a girlfriend who lives in the area and it's been a positive change in my life. They are professional, classy and hard workers that are driven to help me succeed. I look forward to my workouts twice a week. Thank you Free Form.

This has been the best personal training experience. I was so lucky to come across this fitness centre in Ottawa. I'd been to many around the world. Not only did they accommodate my millions of questions and provide me with a proper nutrition plan geared towards me, they have helped me change my lifestyle. I am seeing results, my energy is top notch and I am sleeping better. Thank you Free Form Fitness, for helping me living a better life at 54 and being a more energized grand mother.

Annnnd they do not disclose their membership prices, but instead pressure you in a paying 5-sessions with personal trainers THEN offer you payment prices.

I generally find it really hard to stay motivated to work out, especially when I'm tired after work, so I'm really glad a coworker recommended FFF on Dalhousie. I work out with Jesse 2-3 times a week and he is the absolute best. Really encouraging, incredibly knowledgable about fitness and diet, very accommodating of any injuries or challenge areas, and just great to chat to when I'm trying to power through some planks or squats. I find a lot of gyms and trainers really intimidating and "bro-y" (for lack of a better term), but I've never felt intimated at FFF as a woman who's just beginning bodyweight training and lifting. Jesse is also great with developing a program if I say I want to work on a specific fitness goal, and we can work together to achieve it. I don't think I would have ever had the courage to try some of the exercises that I can now do regularly without FFF. After lockdown ended I was SO excited to get back to the gym (Me! Excited to go to the gym! Woah!). Thank-you to Jesse and the team, excited to keep getting stronger!

Amazing gym and great trainers. Riley is an incredible PT, she has a lot of knowledge to share and she goes above and beyond for her clients. Gym is very clean, this location manager is kind and helpful and its a very welcoming environment. 10/10 recommend for those needing personal training.

I've been a client at Free Form Fitness for over a year and I simply can't imagine working out anywhere else. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and supportive. My trainer, Ryan B. really took the time to get to know me and adjusted my workout and nutrition plan to help me get the best results. With the help of FFF, I've not only reached my goals but have surpassed them. A year ago, I never thought I could look and feel this good. Thanks guys :)

FFF not only has some of the best services, they have great trainers and workers there as well. They have always been great to my friends and I and I definitely recommend them to anyone looking to shape up while laughing and keeping a smile on. My body has never looked as good as it does now and I couldnt do it without you guys.

Free Form Fitness in Ottawa, in my opinion draws the line in the sand and defines what every Personal training center SHOULD be. All about realistic client results, satisfaction and preception Thanks FFF team

Free Form Fitness differs from other facilities in that they cater to your personal needs as to nutrition and your workout. You just have to see their “wall of results” to see that they are doing something very right. They have also inspired many of their clients to go that one step further and compete in the women’s and men’s fitness events and place. Not everyone wants to go to that extreme, but if everyday people can reach that level of fitness, think what it can do for you. Their personal trainers are second to none.

My spouse and I recently entered into a transformation challenge Free Form Fitness was promoting and what a great expereience its been. The personal trainers are great , you feel welcome everytime you walk in . They have specific workouts and great nutrition plans for everyone . I would recommend FFF to anyone living in the Ottawa area , you cant go wrong .

Amazing. I highly recommend FFF. They have the best trainers in Ottawa, all are ready and willing to help and the atmosphere is close and personal. I love it, I feel like they actually give a damn. Highly recommended, I don;t plan on ever leaving.

Excellent personal training services. I' really appreciate the non-judgmental and tailored approach of the training. Both my partner and I have only good things to say from sessions we've had at FFF byward market.

I have been visiting the ByWard market location for just over a year now and love it. It’s a great environment for someone who wants to get in shape and needs a one on one experience. 10/10

Having been a client at FFF for only 2 months, I can already say that FFF is totally different from any gym I have ever been to. You're guided, as an individual, through a program designed specifically for YOUR goals. You're encouraged both inside and outside the gym by the great, friendly staff. I've found everyone at FFF to be nothing but helpful, they make you feel like you're part of the family and will go out of their way to be supportive to you. I also love their training philosophy - it allows you to focus on YOUR body and becoming in tune with its needs. As proof, I've seen more results with FFF in 2 months than I did with any other "typical" trainer in 6 months. I would highly recommend FFF, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Invest in your health and wellbeing - I have no doubt that they will help you change your life!

Free Form Fitness is an amazing organisation. They treat all there clients in a unique manner, no 2 clients are the same. On a personal level I have had huge success at Free Form, everything is tailored towards my goals and my lifestyle unlike other "training/gym organisations" I had previously used. Fits in really well with my busy working life, booking is made so easy.

Hands down, the best personal training studio in this city. They have upscale service, extremely clean and awesome staff. They have no memberships and worked with my budget to make sure it worked for me. Thanks for making me look amazing and changing my eating habits for the better!

My experience at Free Form has been the best. Better than any other fitness center I have ever been to. The service is excellent and personal. The trainers are so knowledgeable. The atmosphere is motivating and I leave there feeling my best!

Perfect workout, even during Covid. Easy to schedule with an email. I am just getting back into things and I find it helpful and convenient. Chad is very knowledgeable and I feel very comfortable at the Byward location.

FST with Andrew Younis at the Albert Street location helped a lot! Highly recommend!

Worked out at the Wellington and Kanata locations for years then decided to move all sessions to Albert St. location. Been with Andrew Younis now for over a month and my request to be challenged and worked hard were answered! Andrew builds catered programs for you that will meet or exceed your fitness goals...and tosses in some humor to make your killer 30 min session go easier! Highly recommend Andrew and this location.

Very friendly environment and professional training!

I started training at FFF in the Byward Market twice a week with Alex and Ryan in September 2019. I had never used free weights or machines before. Four months later, I am comfortable with them and confident in my technique. Alex and Ryan constantly change up the exercises and adapt to how my body feels. I am now stronger than ever. As a uOttawa student, I train first thing in the morning before heading to campus. I leave FFF feeling energized and ready to tackle the day. Training at FFF has kept me healthy throughout an intensive semester and exam season. The gym is neat and organized and the equipment is well maintained. The change rooms and shower are always clean. The trainers are friendly, knowledgeable, and dedicated to their clients. Thank you for everything!

I work out at FFF on Dalhousie with Ryan. He's fantastic and fun and encouraging. If I have any pains from reoccurring injuries he adjusts the workout or goes with what your health care professionals are suggesting. (physio chiro etc. ). Highly recommend

Highly recommended! I have been working out with Riley (and Chad as a secondary trainer) at the Byward location since Nov. 2018. The location is welcoming and friendly, with a diverse range of clientele. Both Riley and Chad are extremely knowledgeable and create a positive and motivating environment. More than just fitness, Riley has also supported me in reaching more general wellness goals. No matter what kind of day I've had, I look forward to my sessions every week and always leave feeling great.

The only training I've ever stuck with. I've been seeing Riley and Alex for almost two years and love them so much. I love the workouts we do and they as so friendly and helpful with any questions. The gym and washroom areas are always spotless and quiet which is nice too.Worth the price over Goodlife and others by far.

Great team at the Byward market location- been going for over a year and I love it!

This Training Centre on Rideau between Murray and Clarence is an excellent choice for those of all ages who wish to get back in shape and realize a healthy goal. Best choice I ever mad - ee my blog from May 17 2017 on their website to get a better understanding of what you can become and achieve...

Very professional!

Very nice staff. Clean environment

The trainers are awesome

Great trainers and very friendly. Feels like a small family. Been training there for over 3 years now.

Free Form Fitness provides the best personalized training I have encountered. You can count on knowledgeable trainers, healthy meal plans, and most importantly, positive results!

I’ll start off by saying that I love Free Form Fitness in Ottawa! They specialize in personal training and nutrition. The highly qualified trainers will do anything to make sure the clients are satisfied, get results and achieve their goals. The staff is excellent and will motivate you! I recently started the bootcamp training there and I’ve never felt better. I have a back injury but the trainer makes sure to provide alternatives and customize the session to cater my needs. It doesn’t get any better than this. You can sign up at any other gym but you will not get the quality, results and experience that you get at Free Form Fitness. I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to transform themselves, be healthy and looking for a good challenge!

I've been working out at the Byward Market location for about 6 months now, and it's been wonderful! Even though I haven't lost a ton of weight yet, it's motivated me to make an effort and to keep going in the right direction. Riley and Jesse really know their stuff and absolutely care about their clients. It's more than just 30 minutes twice a week for a workout - they give you nutrition advice, help you find ways to keep active outside of the gym, and always find ways to make you want to stick with it. And they seem to enjoy what they're doing too! Great place and a great team. -Craig

My wife and I have been going to Free Form Fitness in the ByWard Market for six years (joint sessions). Ryan Brown has been our trainer for most of that time, and still is. Ryan has been outstanding and knows exactly how train us 70+ year olds!!!! We can highly recommend Free Form Fitness.
