This was my best personal training experience in 8 years of training. OPEX Ottawa Fitness offers a variety of services, like remote personal training, which is great for busy people that do not live close to the gym. It was especially very efficient during the pandemic, as nothing "in person" was possible. OPEX Ottawa really focuses on the individual's objectives and obstacles. Everything is considered and personalized, which is what makes it worth every penny. Coach Jonathan, an amazing coach, offers great communication, which was to me the best part of remote coaching with OPEX Ottawa. I could always reach out if I had any question or concern. Coach Jonathan was also very experienced and professional, which allowed me to develop progressively and consistently as an athlete. Whether you're looking for a remote or "in gym" experience, I definitely recommend OPEX Ottawa for the personalized and positive experience which will lead to development, education, sweat and alot of fun!

I had a wonderful time training at this gym. Coach Jonathan showed me the ropes and pushed me to always achieve better results. I not only gained muscle, but knowledge and confidence. The gym is nice and clean and everyone I met there were awesome and very friendly. I am in my best shape ever thanks to my coach and I recommend this gym to anyone who either just wants to work out or want motivation, accountability and help getting to where they want!

Great space, friendly and knowledgeable coaches, I felt very welcomed!

Glad to have joined the OPEX community. Training tailored to my needs along with a great facility and coaching staff have really gone a long way. Thanks!

Can’t say enough good things about ACTUS and the amazing environment Jon has created for training. All fitness levels, and a super supportive community. I’ve spent time in both the classes and open gym for the past two years and love it.

OPEX Ottawa’s commitment to their clients is exceptional, the coach’s really make a big difference compared to other gym. Extremely focused on personalized fitness , love it !

Opex is a great personalized training gym. Jonathan the head coach is an amazing coach, helpful in setting my goals, and really knowledgeable. The gym has up to date equipment . Very clean environment.

I am reaching retirement soon and was looking for a way to keep active and busy. I was recommended to try this new personalized training , OPEX Ottawa fit the bill, Jonathan ( owner and coach ) was able to formulate a personalized training program diet suggestions and overall lifestyle decisions to keep me motivated and help me achieve my goals . Looking forward to many years together

I have worked with Jon for many years now. His knowledge and experience allow him to design a fitness program the will allow you to reach your goals what ever they are. He is always available to answer any question and is genuinely willing to help.

Jonathan (owner and head coach) is very attentive and extremely knowledgeable. His passion for his work is very evident in the way he coaches and follows up on his clients. The gym has the best equipment and is a great place to work out. Highly recommend!

I’ m in my mid 60s and I must say that it’s been a while that I’ve been feeling sluggish and unmotivated. I finally decided to do something about it after my last annual check up. In the past I had gone to a regular workout gym but this time I didn’t want to repeat the experience because I remember feeling neglected and unmotivated. I decided to give OPEX Ottawa a try because I heard of their personalized approach to training, advice on diet and lifestyle. I must say, I was very impressed with their approach! Beginning with my very first meeting with Jonathan, my coach, I can see that these people have lots of experience and they’re passionate about their services. They have a way of making “me” the center of their business. I’m really glad I went there! Maria

Three words to describe Jonathan’s coaching style are caring, respectful and professional. He takes into account your personal goals and can even help you figure out what your goals actually are, if you weren’t completely sure going in. The programming he provides is practical and achievable to fit your lifestyle so that you can be successful no matter what phase of life you are in. His knowledge of nutrition and fitness is impressive, but without ever feeling judgmental. As a bonus, the onsite facilities are clean, well organized and high quality. If you are considering any kind of lifestyle change, or have specific fitness goals in mind, Jon and OPEX Ottawa are the place to go!

OPEX Ottawa offers personalized coaching: whether you are looking at achieving new fitness goals or training while recovering from an injury, the holistic approach on which OPEX is based on will provide you with incredible results. Great and well-equipped facility. Extremely knowledgeable coaches.

I’ve worked with Jon for 3 years now and couldn’t be happier with his services. Jon has always thrived on being better, keeping up to date with health and fitness movements to date and ensuring the best for his clients. He is extremely knowledgeable with all aspects of health and fitness and refuses to stop learning by bettering himself through continued workshops, certifications and trainings. My most valuable experience being with Jon is the supportive community he has built within his organization. He had always made sure everyone feels comfortable, supportive and challenged to meet their needs; whether your new to fitness or an elite athlete, Jon has the capacity and experience to meet your individual needsamd goals. If your looking for a fun place to workout and see the best results you ever seen, without a doubt you want to reach out to Jon at Opex Ottawa.

In my experience, OPEX Ottawa offers challenging, personalized workouts with experienced, high-calibre and very knowledgeable coaching staff. The gym is bright and well-equipped. I have found the staff and members to be welcoming, supportive and highly motivating.

I've been training with Jon for almost 3 years now and he has single handedly transformed my life. I knew about fitness - I thought. But his view on training, nutrition and recovery has shed a light on several aspects I had never considered. His view on life in general is just as good. He's devoted to help you achieve a better health, achieve new goals and all the while, developing a friendship. He has earned my trust (no small feat) and has become one of the most important person in my life. Im now 44 years old and I'm, stronger faster, leaner and in overall much better health than ever in my life. So grateful to have the best coach in Ottawa. If you're on the fence, do yourself the biggest favour and book an appointment with Opex Ottawa. You deserve it. They deliver it.

This is a wonderful Gym! Jon the owner is a terrific and encouraging coach who writes your individualized training plan, consults on lifestyle, nutrition and goals, and is there when you do your workout. During the pandemic he even made house calls! The environment is very friendly. Space is exceedingly clean with plenty of equipment. There is even a k9 mascot, Winston!

I have been active in terms of fitness my entire adult life. I have had memberships in various gyms and had a number of personal trainers in that time. However, my experience at Opex Ottawa has been hands down the best. Full stop! Thank you Jonathan for your dedication and energy.

I had done strength training for many years, but felt I needed som help to get to the next level. OPEX has delivered by giving me a program I can follow both in my gym at home, and occassionally drop in for in-person instruction. I've built skills and attained fitness goals that just wouldn't have been possible on my own. If you're plateuing on your own, give it a chance.

I’ve been doing OPEX with Jon for a year and have loved every minute of it (except the burpees). With the constant curveballs being thrown at us with COVID, Jon has always gone out of his way to work with me and keep me moving, even on the days where I didn’t want to! If you’re looking for a coach who is kind and will push you (but not in a scary way, unless that’s your thing), and is always your #1 cheerleader, Jon is the way to go. OPEX is also a highly underrated way of training and something everyone should look into. Whether you’re a competitive athlete or someone who just wants to move it before you lose it (or move it to lose weight), Jon’s got the skills, knowledge, determination and one of the best facilities in Ottawa to get you where you want to be with your goals. Amazing people, amazing facility. 10/10!

Great gym Jon is fantastic!

If you are reading this, you’ve already done the first step. Now pick up the phone, and text Jon to know more about how he can support you on your journey. I have never been athletic and was able to get by in my youth by crash dieting after a period of over indulgence. I have been a serial gym membership owner for years but would give up going after 2 weeks and keep paying for the rest of the year. It just wasn’t for me. After a major loss, 2 children and COVID, my body needed help – I decided to invest in myself and called Jon at ACTUS. I signed up for personal training. The first session, I cried. I was overwhelmed by emotions I didn’t know I had, and disappointed in my bodies non-mobility. Jon was encouraging. Jon said he understood and listened as he gently coaxed me to challenge myself and my abilities. Jon GETS motherhood – he’s a dad of 3 young children and speaks wonders of his wife. For the last 4 months, I have been working out with Jon 3 times per week. I bring my baby with me when I don’t have care, and while I squat, Jon runs after him, wipes his nose, plays with him while reminding me to “stay on your heels”, “go deeper”. This is the first time in my 34 years that I look forward to working out – if I miss a workout cause of illness, I feel it and crave it. I started this journey to lose weight, to regain a body that had become foreign to me – camouflaged in “I want to be able to be healthy for my kids” – and Jon has supported this every step of the way. I cannot express how wonderful Jon at Actus Individual Fitness is, he will work with your goals. He trains big athletes – and although I came in not knowing how to squat, he encouraged me based on what I was able to do, accommodating and tailoring each exercise to meet my needs. I am so happy to see the results, to feel stronger and have more energy. I am ready to switch from personal training to his small group training, where I will still get individual attention and a training program based on my goals. If you need someone to help you stay accountable, to listen, to motivate, to teach and encourage – please reach out to Jon. I am so happy I did.

OPEX Ottawa Fitness is a fantastic environment for working out. Jonathan is an amazing, dedicated coach who provides on-going support and is truly dedicated to helping all members reach their goals. I highly recommend this gym and Jonathan as your coach!

My experience at Opex individual training was fantastic! Jonathan and the rest of the staff were always around supporting or motivating me whenever needed. My first time doing personal training Jonathan exceeded my expectations in every way possible. If your looking for a place to start your fitness journey this is the place to go!

Absolutely loved my experience at Opex/Actus, and I am so thankful to my PT Jonathan for instilling some very healthy habits into my lifestyle. 10/10 would recommend joining if you’re a beginner (or seasoned) and looking for not only a PT but also an accountability coach.

i was here for a very short time but the time that i did spend here was amazing. the environment is extremely welcoming and the trainers are very friendly and accommodating. it’s a great place to go if you don’t know where to start with fitness or if you find the atmosphere of a regular gym to not be your speed - i’d highly recommend coming here.

If you are looking to change your mindset in a supportive environment, then Actus is the place for you. Coach Jonathan is an amazing trainer, very knowledgeable, and makes you feel at home at the gym. Had the pleasure of working with him for a year and a half and he has changed how I view fitness. Highly recommended!

Jonathan is the type of personal trainer who will be there for you, personalize your workouts - REALLY personalize - to your abilities, time restraints, equipment, space...then hold you accountable. In my case all was done remotely through zoom calls, phone calls etc. since I live in a rural community and have time commitments (plus...pandemic anxiety) that was keeping me away from the city. His coaching really helped my mental and physical health stay as strong as possible while juggling home and work commitments. I really needed his help, and he totally came through! Thank you Jonathan!

An excellent team offering a great holistic approach to fitness. Something new for me and very exciting so far

OPEX is the perfect gym for me and anyone with motivational issues. How many of us skip the gym on any given day saying I don't feel like it or I'll just go tomorrow? If you are 15 minutes late or not showing up, Jonathan will be sending you a message asking why you are not there. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about fitness and nutrition. We constantly go over my weekly training along with my eating and sleeping habits. In my 4 months at OPEX, I have shown major improvement in strength and I am losing weight at a good and steady pace. I highly recommend OPEX to anyone interested in a healthy lifestyle done the right way!

Ive been with Dan, one of the coaches at OPEX Ottawa for close to four years now. His OPEX background as an athlete and now as a coach is invaluable. The philosophy that is the OPEX brand is way more than just picking things up and putting them down. They challenge you to think about your daily lifestyle and routine, and encourage you to make positive changes. To me, OPEX delivers the standard on how the fitness industry should approach life, wellness and sport. 13/10 would recommend.

Amazing place and great owner! John is super nice and he really takes the time to help with your movements by being present with you. I highly recommend this place for anyone wanting to train in great condition and learn from one of the best methodology!

We hired Jonathan and his team to train our son & redirect son teen energy! First, we were very impressed with the three hour assessment which immediately highlighted some of the weaker areas that we have not even discussed or perhaps known that we’re holding him back. The personalized approach included an app that allowed our son the flexibility to work out either at the main gym, or even at home using his equipment but keeping on task with the program that was assigned him. In his case this was an excellent way to balance homework and a more regular gym schedule. Thank you so much to Jonathan and Dan. If you are thinking about signing up yourself or have someone in your family looking to get fitter, this is definitely the gym for you!!

Fantastic company and fantastic people. This has changed my life. I have never felt better. And with a busy life including work and kids, the systems and accountability at OPEX really works well for me.

I Highly recommend Opex! You get a plan that is specially tailored for your needs. Amazing atmosphere! Top notch trainers.

This gym is fantastic for those that need that extra layer of accountability. The coaches are knowledgeable, caring and supportive to your individual goals. The gym community is friendly and welcoming.

Amazing facility and coaches. The staff at OPEX Ottawa really take an interest in who you are and build around what would best benefit you and your lifestyle. The OPEX Ottawa team are fantastic coaches who care deeply about the clients and getting them to see results in a safe and effective way while building a fantastic rapport with their clients.

Delightful people, great place to workout, if I have a chance to go back in future I will <3

I had a great experience working out at Opex Ottawa while I was in town visiting. The facility is spacious with brand new equipment. Jonathan is an excellent trainer and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend this gym!

Great experience with Opex. This place is just the best for improve, learn and understand the fitness. The coach’s are very friendly and professional ! Thank you Hugo.

I am about 10 weeks into my new programming by Coach Dan at Opex. The jury is still out on results obviously but here is what I can tell you. Jonathan and Dan are some of the most caring and patient humans I have met. They make everyone feel welcome and important. The gym is clean and fully equipped with the great quality Rogue and Concept2 equipment. The programming for me has been a big adjustment from CrossFit classes of the past 8 years. I love CrossFit but I am realizing that personalized programming based on my physical, mental and emotional needs is something that is necessary for me to achieve my personal goals. I am still doing CrossFit, just in a way that is smarter for me personally. I am at the tip of the iceberg in seeing results but I am beginning to see and understand the method behind what I thought initially was madness. Dan has been extremely patient with me through the transition. I have had (who are we kidding will continue to have) many silly questions and he confidently and competently answers all of them. I am super excited to see what happens in the next 10 weeks and beyond.

Amazing! I love it! They take such a unique approach compared to most places. Personalized training is the best way to describe it. Not your typical generic workout plan. Thanks and see you soon!

Jonathan has been my coach for a little over a month and I couldn't be happier with the results. Less pain, more strength, better eating, weight loss, more energy. If you are looking for a wellness coach, you would be in good hands at OPEX Ottawa.

I spent two days in Ottawa and got to train at OPEX Ottawa which was awesome, very friendly coaches and great vibe, I wish I had a gym like this in the city I live in. Very thankful for the great attention they had with me. Fully recommend this gym

Looking for a truly personal approach to your fitness look no further! They take the time to truly ensure your success in a fun and encouraging way. The facility is top notch in terms of equipment and cleanliness. You will not regret stepping through the doors!

Jon's approach is that of an athletic coach - create, monitor and adjust customized fitness regimes for clients specific to their needs and goals. Now this is what going to the gym and working-out should be all about!

One of the best gyms in town! Very friendly coach and employees with great personal plans for each individual!

Very experienced coaches and a very clean space filled with top of the line equipment. After doing CrossFit for over 8 years, I felt I needed something new to keep progressing and OPEX Ottawa was just what I needed. The indivualized training allowed me the find a new purpose to my training, set new goals and achieve consistency. I don't miss group classes and truely enjoy my new OPEX Ottawa community. If you've been on the fence about trying OPEX Ottawa, just give it a try. You will love it!

I was so tired of going to gyms that clearly didn't care about the client experience. The coaches at OPEX are well-educated, present and responsive. They get to know and build relationships with members, and members get to know each other. Your program is as focused or integrated (i.e. fitness, nutrition, lifestyle) as YOU need it to be, depending on your goals and challenges. I'm so happy with my results after two months and excited to keep progressing.

I was in Ottawa for a few days visiting family and on the recommendation of a family member I stopped into Opex to get in some training. I had the great fortune of meeting the owner and trainer Jonathan while there. It’s easy to tell that he’s a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic trainer with a wealth of experience. He warmly welcomed me to his fantastic training facility and made me feel right at home. The great variety of equipment in the gym is top notch, and from Rogue. The space is both very clean, well organized and perfectly suited for any kind of fitness programming. I come from a crossfit background and everything I would need to complete programming from my home CF gym is there. I know that when i’m back in the area I’ll definitely be stopping into Opex again after having such a great first experience there today. Thanks again Jonathan!!

Definitely not your typical gym (in a great way). Dan has been our personal coach for several weeks now and we are loving the highly customized workouts, checkin and updates that we get on a regular basis. He's very methodical and focused on helping us with our specific goals: preparing for a big hike and ultimate. Oh and the value for their 1st month intro package is unbelievable.

I love OPEX's personalized approach to fitness. Coach Jonathan really cares about each person as an individual and creates a program that is incredibly tailored to a particular person's needs. I would highly recommend OPEX to everyone - from the competitive athlete, to the person trying to lose weight, to the grandparent who wants to be strong enough to play with their grandkids.

The coaches are highly knowledgeable, approachable, and invested in your success. It was so refreshing to get away from chasing scores on a wod board and instead chase your own fitness goals. Highly reccomended.
