    I have been a member at Greco Westboro for over a year now and the results I have seen with my overall fitness is so satisfying! I look forward to going to Greco after a work day because not only is it an amazing workout, but it is a place where I have developed friendships with other members and some of the staff as well. You are always greeted by name with a smile, and a pre workout espresso waiting to be brewed! The changes and improvements Silvia has made to the gym shows her dedication and passion for having a pristine place for people to come and reach their highest fitness potential. For anyone questioning trying this gym, stop questioning and just try it! You will not regret it.

    I couldn’t have better things to say about this place. Bodiesbyphil is more than a gym it’s a (hilarious and kickass) community. I’ve tried a lot of workout classes at many gyms across the city, and then I found Phil’s. The workouts are varried: strength, stretch, boxing and HIIT. The best part is trainers who really care about making sure you have fun but also understand technique and work out safely. I’ve never felt or looked better #gainz

    Funnest gym I've been to! #bodiesbyphil will have you loving your workouts and looking forward to them after a long day (or first thing in the morning if that's what you're into...). The classes and exercises are always changing, so you don't get bored. From the instructors to the gym-goers, #BBP is good vibes all around.

    Love this gym !! I've tried the month intro as I could test the waters, as my first month expired I realized that I really enjoyed working out at this gym. The staff is extremely welcoming and knowledgable about fitness training.

    This is my favorite gym. I look forward to every single class I do there. They are consistently a great workout and a lot of fun. All of the instructors are good, but Dan is THE BEST. He is extremely knowledgeable and is very attentive to correcting form. Highly recommend.

    Great place to workout! Classes are already structured for you, so you just need to show up. It is great for people of all fitness levels-the trainers do a great job teaching/adjusting if they notice you need assistance. It doesn’t have the same atmosphere most gyms have; there are lots of jokes, laughs and high fives!

    Dropped into a class here on a Monday morning. Great atmosphere, loved the space, and an even better workout. Phil, is doing great things with this place. Their social media presence is great as well, I suggest giving their Insta a follow for sneak peeks of the classes and for Phil's sense of humor. 6/5 would go back, just wish my work schedule didn't conflict with their class schedule! :(

    I have always been an active person but working out at #bodiesbyphil has drastically changed my health and fitness while transforming my body in ways I never thought I would achieve. The community and environment is relaxed, non judgemental and a lot of fun which motivates you even more to come to classes. The trainers are all incredibly knowledgeable and always make the effort to correct your form and ensure you are getting the most from your workout. They are also given the freedom to teach their classes how they want so everyone brings something different to the schedule. The classes are always different and continue to challenge me even after a year of attending. If you want to join a fitness club in Ottawa that has amazing workouts, mediocre jokes, and the best people ever go to #bodiesbyphil ;)

    #bodiesbyphill is the best gym ever. The gym truly has a one of a kind atmosphere, filled with kind and caring, but also funny people, who attend classes regularly- so you feel like you're part of a community. There are jokes all around, but the trainers also really, truly care about their members . I quite often overhear them checking in on what's going on in people's lives outside of the gym- how special is that. The class sizes are small so if you're intimidated by big group classes, this is the place for you. Beginner of expert- you'll fit right in. You'll have a chance to learn proper form as the instructors are well trained in the ancient art of fitness and gainz lol. Honestly just start going. Sign up for a month and then forever.

    I am just getting back to taking control of my health after the pandemic and having a baby. I was doing okay staying active at home, but lacking structure and staying consistent. This is exactly what I needed! I feel very comfortable and safe with the set up. Everyone is well spaced out and the gym is very clean. All the trainers are very knowledgeable and helpful. I ask questions and if something doesn't feel right, they suggest a modification of the exercise. With their help, I have a plan of which workouts to do and when. They also took the time to review my nutrition and I learned so much! I only have to make small smart modifications and not go on a crazy diet plan. It feels so amazing to know that you have a plan that was designed and tailored specifically to you. All I have to do is show up and do the work. Brilliant! Thank you team.

    Love, love, love Bodies By Phil! The classes are amazing, and such intense but fun workouts, with great music to pump you up! Makes my day doing an early morning class! Phil is hilarious, and a super knowledgable trainer...I have seen some great results and changes in my body thanks to the strength and conditioning I have been doing at the gym for the last couple months! HIGHLY recommend joining, if you want results!

    LF3 is more than just a gym. The owner and the staff are so friendly and take the time to get to know you. They care about their customers. The trainers are knowledgeable and give you lots of modifications if needed (but also challenge you!). The workouts are all different so you're never bored doing the same thing. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Margot M. 2 years ago on Google
    I joined LF3 in August this year, looking for an alternative to jogging to improve my overall fitness and strength and reduce injuries. Our 16yr old also needed to add activity and felt self-concious and low confidence level in sports programs. I encouraged them to join with me, and both of us are having a great experience! Our teenager is doing the personal training and has gone from once a week at the gym only, to adding an extra session at the gym, and then adding work outs at home as well, and now is encouraging me in my fitness as well! It is a huge step forward in self-confidence and self-esteem as well as health and fitness, for both of us. We like having this healthy activity in common, even though we don't attend at the same time we chat about our progress together and share encouragement. The staff at LF3 have gone above and beyond with their teaching and encouragement. I always have confidence that they want optimal health for each person, aligned with each persons goals for themselves.

    I’ve been a member at LF3 (fka Greco) Westboro since September 2018 and really enjoy it! The workouts are quick, efficient and always different. We have access to a wide variety of updated and clean equipment. Recently, the gym transitioned into new ownership and we are seeing positive changes. The place is very clean and well decorated and offers complimentary espresso. The staff is friendly, motivating and caring and receptive to feedback. Lf3 westboro is filled with awesome members and is terrifically located in the heart Westboro . If you are thinking about joining this gym, I would definitely recommend you give it a try! Thank you, silvia!

    If I could give Greco Westboro a 100 star rating I would! I cannot say enough good things about this amazing facility. From the moment you walk through the doors you are made to feel welcome, encouraged and highly motivated. The energy in this gym is so positive and uplifting, you can't help but have fun and enjoy the awesome workouts. The trainers are all so knowledgeable, so supportive & extremely dedicated to their clients. The facilities are clean, modern and fully equipped. Thank you Greco Westboro for always providing a top notch fitness experience, and I look forward to my next session!

  • 1/5 Harman S. 5 years ago on Google
    I called this morning at Roosevelt Location requesting information and prices for various programs and the name of the staff member that I spoke with was Devan. She got my Email and I confirmed with her if she had the right Email and requested her to email me the info as soon as she can so that I can decide which program to sign up for. She promised me that she will send the Email right away and asked me to go online and fill out the information request form as well. I filled that out right away. And then waited for an Email for 4-5 hours but I never got any Email back and then I called her again and she told me that I might have filled up the form at wrong website and told me that she got my Email wrong even though I confirmed that with her when I called earlier. She asked me to repeat my Email for 6 more times phonetically even though she had it right and changed the alphabets every time spelled it again for her. Then she started making other excuses and it clearly seemed that she just wanted to hung up without even helping on anything. Connection, my tone everything was fine. I was so polite with her but then I had to hung up at the end because this was not going anywhere. Worst customer service I’ve ever experienced. Decided not to sign-up for membership anymore at Greco. Please save future customers for having this kind of experience. P.S. In case you have a doubt that I didn’t call , Please feel free to check your incoming call history for 7.36 am 11.20 am on 9 October, 2018.

    Honestly the BEST gym in the city. There is NO other gym like it. Not only is it fun and inclusive, it makes working out a part of your life. The gym makes you feel welcome, the trainers are lively and know what they are doing. It's just a special place and everyone should pop in and try a class or an intro month. Clean changerooms, phone chargers, water fill up station, boxing, workshops and JOKES. Need I say more?

    Tried this place for the first time today. Excellent class. Challenging, but not to the point that I couldn’t do it. The instructor was super motivating, and the front desk staff were really friendly. The class was busy, but never felt full because of how well organized and structured the circuits are. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a bootcamp style class in Ottawa.

  • 5/5 Dominic C. 4 years ago on Google
    Joined in the fall of 2019 and it has changed my life. I have chronic back ache that made physical activity a challenge for the last few years. I couldn’t jog or play basketball like I used to. I got into a rut that most people experience, busy family life, work, side hustles, poor habits, no exercise and feeling sorry for myself. The owner and staff are friendly, professional and committed to the studio. I joined with no experience in this type of training but it’s really perfect for my schedule and competitive nature. After going steady for 2 month at a pace of 3x/week and recently moved to 4-5x/wk. Since joining, I have lost weight, put on muscle mass and I have returned to playing hoops in Dec. Of course you need to do all the other good stuff, like sleeping more, eating better, less booze, but physical activity was the first piece of my puzzle.

  • 5/5 Laura K. 4 years ago on Google
    I love this gym and have seen great results the last couple months. I have tried many other gyms, but what I love about Greco is that is pushes me to limits I didn’t know were possible. The Greco Westboro team is also very welcoming and positive.

  • 5/5 MSG 0. 4 years ago on Google
    My wife and I have been members for 4 months - our first gym memberships in 20+ years. We felt welcome right from day 1, and have been very impressed by the trainers, the workouts, and the continuous improvements we've seen made to the facilities. It's (very) hard work, but we are enjoying ourselves and still always look forward to going.

  • 5/5 Sylvie L. 4 years ago on Google
    I’ve been a member since the very first day Greco Westboro opened in 2013. The workouts are effective, challenging and fun. Highly recommend this regime for people like me who need direction and motivation to exercise efficiently and properly. Sylvia and her team are amazing and care deeply about their clients.

  • 5/5 Devin S. 4 years ago on Google
    I started in the summer, and my experience has been amazing. I’ve always gone to a traditional gym, but a Greco class is so much more efficient, fun and beneficial. I’ve seen great results, and the instructors are knowledgeable, caring and motivating. The recent renos are outstanding. The gym looks great, and it’s always clean and welcoming. Silvia has done an exceptional job.

  • 5/5 Leah W. 2 years ago on Google
    Incredible staff and a great community. Classes are fun and super motivating. It’s awesome to go to a gym that is so welcoming and so well run. Thank you Silvia, Zophia, Colton, Brock, Nick, Sarah, Sanya, Mekayla and Hanan for all that you do!

  • 5/5 Diana 3 years ago on Google
    I love Greco. Such an amazing, uplifting atmosphere with trainers who really motivate you. I did the free trial and was hooked . I had tried a few other gyms around Westboro , but was not as impressed as I was with the Greco staff. Feels like I am working with a personal trainer since they are so attentive to your form and progress. Thanks Greco :)

  • 5/5 Elizabeth Q. 2 years ago on Google
    What do you want in a gym? An inclusive and motivating community atmosphere? Functional and ever-evolving workouts that zap calories, burn fat, build muscle, and leave you feeling elated with an endorphin boost? A team of knowledgeable and attentive trainers who know their clients’ potentials and limits—modifying and enhancing movements to meet each unique need? Friendly faces to greet you by name when you walk through the door? Look no further than LF3 Westboro. I joined LF3 Westboro in February 2021—soon after moving to Ottawa. To be honest, I only intended to join temporarily—its location and price tag were exactly what I needed as I settled myself in Westboro. Before trying out LF3, I foresaw myself rejoining the fitness franchise I had been a part of for years overseas. Oh, how my perspective has changed… LF3 Westboro has made a lifetime member out of me. Since my first days at the studio, I have felt like a valuable part of an incredible fitness family. The owner (Silvia), front-of-house (Mekayla, Sanya, and Katie), and trainers (Colton, Brock, Nick, Sarah, Zophia, and Bennett) have together built a friendly and empowering environment. Whatever the style of workout (Strong, Move, and Hardcore), I always feel challenged and motivated—my heart is pumping while my mind, body, and muscles are strengthening. I also recently decided to take on a new challenge of Personal Training with Colton—best decision ever! I walk to the gym each day with a skip in my step—excited to see everyone and conquer a new workout! After the gym? Well, the endorphins keep me smiling through the rest of my day! Give LF3 Westboro a try. You won’t regret it!

    I love BBP! My friend convinced me to try this gym out and I'm so happy she did. Excellent location, every class is fun and such a great workout. I haven't been to the gym in years! All the trainers are amazing. The gym is so clean, and all the strict policies for covid precautions make me feel safe working out.

  • 5/5 Laura D. 3 years ago on Google
    I can't say enough good things about this place. The trainers are incredible and each workout is different and challenging but made for all levels of fitness. This is a seriously inclusive place with a not-so-serious atmosphere! Don't walk, run to BBP and give it a try (first class is free), you will be hooked.

  • 5/5 Natasha C. 4 years ago on Google
    I had never worked out consistently in my life, and I am now three months in at bodiesbyphil and I don't plan on stopping any time soon. The instructors are very welcoming and helpful, so there is no need to be intimidated by not having any workout experience. Everyone at the gym is friendly and encouraging. The classes are difficult, but you can tailor it to your skill level with the amount of weight you lift. It is honestly such a great environment! 10/10 would recommend.

    I liked the studio and the workouts were good. I found most of the trainers I went to overly critical. To the point I no longer wanted to go (except for Joe I had a lot of fun in his class).
