👍👍 LF3 Little Italy is a welcoming, friendly, gym! I couldn't recommend it enough! The trainers, Liana, Julia, and Taylor, are all super friendly and have helped foster a wonderful community. As an early bird, I love showing up to class for a hot cup of espresso before we grind it out in class. No matt... People often mention classes, great, trainers, class, workouts, love, workout, training, amazing, time,

    I have been a member of this location since 2012. The front staff and the trainers are great. They welcome you as soon as you walk through the door with a genuine smile. I love the classes because (1) they are short and impactful (2) you leaving sweaty and feeling amazing. The trainers are always walking around to make sure you are doing the exercises correctly and take the time to make well thought out explanations. You can tell that they have a passion for what they do and want their clients to make the most of each class.

    Got a "consultation" from Tony Greco himself... Turns out it was a group consult.... Within 3 minutes I could tell that Tony Greco has no idea what he's talking about. He made wild contradictory claims and was rude when I asked him follow up questions or to corroborate his wild statement with evidence or some supporting journal or study... What a scam artist... He refused to tell me what educational qualifications he has and he became extremely defensive when questioned... Do NOT trust this guy

    I decided to join LF3 about a month ago as my gym closed last year and I had worked out here long ago when it was a different gym but same idea. I am very happy with my choice the gym is clean and everyone is friendly. The workouts are challenging, the trainers are knowledgeable and supportive and it is a great community.

    LF3 has been a fantastic gym to work out at, I'm really happy I made the choice to join. Taylor brings insane energy to the classes, and I always end up pushing myself further than I thought I'd be able to go (and feeling great about it!). There's a really lovely community feeling in the regular crew that attend the classes, and I felt immediately welcomed by everyone here. The classes are beginner-friendly, but definitely allow room for people who like to lift a little heavier to do their thing and have fun 💪🏻😄

    I am about halfway through 12 Personal Training sessions with Liana Zamboni. I've worked with her before when my goals were strength, coordination and Interval Training, and I saw vast improvement in all these areas. This time around, after a year of personal upheaval and no workout facilities, I desperately needed help recovering mobility and range of motion. The results, again, are amazing. She is TOUGH! Also extremely knowledgeable, able to adjust my training sequence and content to ensure I get maximum benefit from each session. Both mobility and range of motion have improved drastically. Two chiropractors suggested I explore surgical options, but I am now confident that I'll be able to resume my active lifestyle without going down that road. Thank you Liana!

    Best circuit gym in Ottawa! I truly fell in love with the LF3 Little Italy location. During covid I was feeling weak, hit a plateau in results and a lack of motivation to workout from home. My body needs a mix of circuit training, cardio and a trainer to keep my endurance going. Often times you have to join multiple types of gyms to get this kind of switch up. But I found all of these things at LF3. I am able to go to the gym 5-6 days and week and the rotation of the strong, move and hardcore classes allows my body to get up and go each day without feeling depleted. I noticed body and strength change immensely. It’s also a major plus that the staff is so nice and encouraging that is like going to workout with your friends. It’s the perfect way to start my day. xx

    This place is awesome! I was recently in Ottawa for a short visit & bought a few drop-in passes to use while I was in town. The classes were awesome + challenging, and great workouts. The trainers were incredibly friendly, professional + completely attentive, even in a busy class. The next time I'm in town I'll definitely be back. Thanks guys!

  • 5/5 Charlotte W. 1 year ago on Google
    I love LF3! It's such a great place to work out and to push myself. The trainers are super knowledgeable and motivating and make the classes fun and rewarding. This is the first gym I have ever looked forward to going to! So happy I joined :)

  • 5/5 Graeme K. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome gym! You have to experience the classes to really understand. Trainers are focused on helping you with the best technique and the class schedules are really flexible. I’ve been going for over 10 years and can’t say enough good things about the LF3 team!

  • 5/5 Jillian L. 1 year ago on Google
    Love going to this gym! I feel I get so much out of the classes each time. The class size is small enough that you can get personalized attention, and the instructors I've had so far are really engaged and helpful! They always take the time to answer questions or provide extra support, and seem keen to help everyone achieve their fitness goals. I've only been there a little while but I am seeing results, and I'm starting to feel like I'm part of a little community.

  • 5/5 Natalia J. 1 year ago on Google
    I love my LF3 gym community! I am someone who gets bored easily with workouts, so the constant variation offered is so stimulating. I appreciate that I don’t have to put any planning into my workout, I just show up and am pushed to my max by well designed programs and the highly motivating trainers. All of the staff is welcoming and encouraging - special shout-out to Taylor who really puts in the extra effort to get to know everyone in the class to individualize feedback based on their limits and goals. He not only motivates you to keep pushing, but challenges you to go beyond your perceived limits. Amazing trainer 👏🏻

  • 5/5 Nour K. 1 year ago on Google
    I recently signed up again after a few months of taking a break from exercising and my only regret is not registering sooner. They offer various types of workouts, all of which have pushed me to challenge myself and get back into working out. I always leave there in the best mood and look forward to my next class. I immediately get such positive energy from the environment there, the staff is very friendly and motivating towards everyone. Definitely looking forward to seeing more of my progress over time!

  • 5/5 Sara M. 1 year ago on Google
    Long time in-person member - and for good reason! I have had really great experiences with the classes, trainers, and PT. Currently, Wednesday Shred is my favourite. I am just starting to take advantage of the open gym times - it’s a fun change of pace! If you’re looking for a fun, challenging workout in a welcoming environment, I highly recommend. :)

  • 5/5 Maureen B. 1 year ago on Google
    I highly recommend LF3! I’ve been a member for over four years now and have joined the classes on line, in studio and PT every one has been amazing! I believe it’s the personal attention you receive online and in studio makes it so unique to the Ottawa fitness industry. If you’re looking for a boutique style fitness experience that is hands on, knowledgeable and energetic this is it! Oh and Liana is fabulous as my PT:).

  • 5/5 Olesia B. 1 year ago on Google
    I highly recommend LF3 if you’re considering a new gym or a change to your fitness routine. With a busy schedule, I appreciate the variety of class options available (in-studio, online, open gym slots, and personal training). It provides me with flexibility so that I can easily fit workouts around other commitments. Everything is fully designed for you, so there’s no need to plan your workouts, you simply need to show up. Classes transition through different stages over time to continuously challenge your body, build strength in new ways, and keep things engaging. A shout out and big thank you to the LF3 Little Italy team - you’re highly professional, always positive, and supportive. It’s an absolute pleasure working with you and learning from you every week!

  • 5/5 Jamie-Lynn P. 1 year ago on Google
    Love Lf3! We’ve been going to this facility for over 4 years. Love the variety of workouts as well as the monthly challenges. Liana is a rockstar and love my personal training sessions with her. I’m stronger than I’ve ever been and feel healthier as well. Julia, Olivia, Taylor and Liana are amazing trainers and create such a good environment to workout in.

  • 5/5 Kim 1 year ago on Google
    I have been enjoying attending in person classes since May 2022 at LF3 and have certainly seen and felt results. The classes are always changing and have a lot of variety. The instructors are very knowledgeable, kind and fit! Would highly recommend this gym!

  • 5/5 Christopher H. 1 year ago on Google
    I'm very happy to have joined LF3 Little Italy from LF3 Barrhaven as a founding member. I love these workout styles and types, having done them for years - from Strong, Move and Hardcore, the exercises always challenge me and improve me body and mind wise. I've even done mainly the Bodyweight replays online when I couldn't get to In studio classes and they were great. All trainers are really good, skilled and enthusiastic, providing demos that really help and encouragement always and corrections to form. I leave classes feeling so good. I've enjoyed meeting and chatting with new members - I'm 65 now, retired in 2021 from an intense career so I always look forward to classes and social time to start off new days. Thanks to the LF3 team, love it!

  • 5/5 Maddy R. 1 year ago on Google
    A great place to work out! The instructors are all really lovely and knowledgeable. There's none of that pretentious gym vibe you get at some gyms. A great place for anyone who wants a chill and welcoming atmosphere to begin or continue their fitness journey.

  • 5/5 Ken R. 1 year ago on Google
    I have been with LF3 since it’s inception and can say that the workouts, equipment, staff, and clientele are all absolutely top notch. Nothing brightens your day like showing up and being a part of the incredible community they’ve worked hard to build. The trainers take a lot of care to give personalized attention and guidance to all of the members with varying degrees of fitness and knowledge. The workouts are absolutely killer and you leave feeling on top of the world. I have personally recommended this facility to many friends and all of them have gone on to love it and even recommend it to friends of their own. Thank you LF3!

  • 4/5 Rachael 6 years ago on Google
    One of the best workouts at this location! Plus will be getting a killer trainer in January named Melissa! She’s kick butt!! Parking is the only issue here for me

  • 1/5 Jean L. 8 years ago on Google
    I was a bit insulted to have to pay about $100 for an assessment when it was all scripted. I assumed since I was paying a good amount it would be specific and tailored to me. I could have been 10 or 100lbs overweight, looking for a healthier lifestyle or to live better but the consultation was all the same. In a nut shell it's $100 for them to talk at you for 20 minutes. I think any work out program is good (including Greco) but the consultation fee is simply ridiculous and for me it was a waste of money and time.

    Very friendly staff. Clean and big open work out space. I signed up for the all access hydride and I was soooooooooo nervous to come to the studio. The instructor was fantastic, friendly and made me feel welcome and comfortable. I think her name was Julia! The work out was so great. There are also great modifications suggested if needed. Im so excited to make this part of my healthy lifestyle!

  • 5/5 Jade H. 2 years ago on Google
    I have been with Greco/LF3 for a year now and I absolutely love it! I started with Liana at the Barhaven location and moved with her to the little Italy location. They have a good variety of classes in person and online that come with the membership. Julia and Liana are really great trainers at helping individual people on specific needs and changes in the classes. They are super welcoming, knowledgeable and positive! Great place to workout, worth every penny!

  • 5/5 Z C. 1 year ago on Google
    This is hands down one of the best gyms in town. The trainers have helped me stay sane through some of the toughest times during the pandemic thanks to their online sessions, and I could not be happier to be back in person now. The team here keeps every class exciting, with new movements, formats, equipment and fun playlists. It’s always a joy to be greeted by their smiles and espresso shots in the morning – it makes me never want to skip a workout! 10/10 recommend!

  • 5/5 Jasmyn A. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely love this gym! I was on the hunt for a while to find a good boutique gym and a trainer I felt comfortable with, until I stumbled upon LF3. I have been doing personal training with Liana for over a year now and could not be happier. I feel so much stronger, and so much more motivated to work out. She does an amazing job of challenging me to push myself, while still listening to my needs, and always asks me how I feel before and after work outs. Aside from the amazing training, it is a super clean, friendly and safe environment! All of the staff is very friendly and I always feel very welcome when I come to work out.

  • 5/5 Nicol P. 1 year ago on Google
    I have been part of this gym for 5 years and I have nothing but good things to say. They have everything you need for you to achieve your fitness goals, from personal training / group classes / online recorded and live classes to open gyms / nutrition advice and a nice shot of espresso before you start the class. Their classes are always structured toward a specific goal. Their coaches are amazing, very competent and very nice people that will push you. LF3 is not only a unique boutique gym, but it is also a community with people from all fitness levels and goals. It's place where you can work hard and get the results you seek and meet cool people in the process. I can't recommend this place enough, I am hooked!!!!!

  • 5/5 Lesley C. 1 year ago on Google
    LF3 Little Italy delivers a first-rate training experience. The staff are dedicated, attentive, supportive and knowledgeable. They provide great “in the moment” coaching for members of all levels and ages. The facilities are well-maintained and thoughtfully laid out to maximize your training time and effort. Thank you Lianna and Riley and team!

  • 5/5 Andrew S. 1 year ago on Google
    I have been training at LF3 Little Italy since the fall of 2021 and I am thoroughly impressed. Initially, I was skeptical about the format of fitness class style workouts, but after the first week that skepticism was totally gone. The classes are well structured so that you can attain your personal fitness goals- there is as much or as little challenge as you'd like. The trainers/ instructors are highly knowledgeable and offer guidance and tutorials to make sure you're using the proper technique. The community at LF3 Little Italy is incredibly supportive of each other- whether you are a novice or seasoned pro - the emphasis is on showing up and doing your best (whatever your best may be)!

    LF3 Little Italy is a welcoming, friendly, gym! I couldn't recommend it enough! The trainers, Liana, Julia, and Taylor, are all super friendly and have helped foster a wonderful community. As an early bird, I love showing up to class for a hot cup of espresso before we grind it out in class. No matter which trainer is teaching class, they show up full of energy, put on a great playlist, encourage me during the workout, and correct my form when needed. If I am having any aches or pains, they are also happy to suggest alternative movements when I ask. Having been a member for over a year, I'm seeing great results and feeling stronger and more confident with my workouts. I can tailor the training program to fit my goals, and with the 8-week rotation of focus areas (muscle building, fat loss, etc.), my body is always being challenged to be its best. Both the strong, move, and hardcore classes give me something different depending on what I'm working towards. Thanks for being a great gym and my second home!

    I have been a member of LF3 Fitness from its beginning. I love the flexibility and convenience of being able to train through the online platform. The work-outs offer lots of variety and are always challenging. The trainers are also very motivating. They always pay close attention to the clients and are quick to offer corrections or adaptations to specific movements as required. I love training with this team!

  • 5/5 Mara G. 1 year ago on Google • 1 review
    I’ve been doing the virtual live classes since the beginning of the pandemic, and every workout is still tough. I’ve never had a boring class - the amazing trainers make sure to keep us on our toes every day! I get lots of great feedback on my form and tips to make things more challenging (lots of focus on making sure we don’t get hurt - something I truly appreciate). Every 8 weeks they change things up - a different focus, some new moves - I never thought sweating could be so much fun!m and addictive. Lots of specialty classes in addition to the regular workouts. But don’t be fooled just because they’re short - they’re just as tough if not tougher! They’re an excellent top up to my usual routine. And super easy to squeeze in if you don’t have lots of time. I highly recommend LF3 - amazing trainers, amazing classes, and amazing results!

  • 5/5 Melissa B. 1 year ago on Google • 2 reviews
    LF3 Interactive Online is exactly what I didn’t know I needed in a workout routine. I’m the kind of person that needs an exercise class to stay committed. So, switching to exercising in a live online class format outside of a gym environment was not intuitive, but has been the absolute best choice for me. It’s the same workout I’m used to doing in studio, only it’s easy to book and available everyday at times that work for me. Bonus: zero hassle of commuting and parking. Truthfully, the instructors totally make this. They are highly knowledgeable and motivating. And, I get the instruction and support I need to improve my form, lift heavier and adapt exercises based on my injuries and available equipment. It’s also really nice to do the class with others, who I feel like I know even though I’ve never met. Cannot recommend LF3 highly enough.

    I've been going to LF3 for over a year now and I have never felt better attending a gym. Liana, Liv, Dana, Julia, and Taylor are amazing coaches! They are all welcoming, motivating, and personable. The workouts make you feel strong and provide you with the results you're looking for. Since joining, I have encouraged three other members to join and they equally love their experience.

  • 5/5 Wayne B. 1 year ago on Google • 2 reviews
    No matter what your fitness goals are this is the gym for you, within 3 months of joining LF3 I had reached my goals and then some. They have the most attentive and knowledgeable trainers in the buisness and you won't find a better priced membership anywhere else for what you get from LF3.

  • 5/5 Camilla P. 5 months ago on Google • 1 review
    I’ve had weight training as part of my exercise routine for decades and I have been a part of many communities/gyms/methodologies…one of which was CrossFit. I recently joined LF3, and have loved everything about it! Onboarding was inclusive, safe, and thorough, the various class offerings completely meet my weight training needs and the price is affordable. I’m already seeing results in a short time! If you are looking for somewhere that checks all the boxes, I highly recommend LF3!!
