This place is always so much fun. The facility is huge, so the walls, bouldering areas and routes…read moreare diverse with a wide range of difficulty levels. For first timers wanting to climb the rope routes, they have to come with a partner and take a free introductory belaying course. The staff are incredibly helpful and pleasant to train with. For people wanting to pay a little less and avoid rope routes, they can opt for the bouldering routes scattered throughout the gym. My favourite is this cave like area, even if I'm usually not experienced enough to get through its routes. This isn't just a place for adults to get fit or hang out with friends. I actually see a lot of young children with their parents. I think rock climbing is an excellent activity that kids naturally take to and it also helps develop their confidence, fitness, problem solving skills and trust of their parents if they're belaying on the roped routes. The prices are fairly high if you only go casually and have no gear. The day pass is $12 + $7 for full equipment rental. However, if you go often, the membership prices are: 1 Month Membership $65 3 Month Membership $175 6 Month Membership $300 12 Month Membership $450 The location is a hassle to get to if you travel by bus.

I used to go to the Greenboro Community Centre everyday as a child. I'd go to their park, which has…read moreswings, climbing structures, and a small wading pool with sprinklers. I also used to take ballet lessons here and attend youth dances. I visited the Centre a couple of weeks ago to see how much it's changed, and the renovations that have been done in recent years is unbelievable. They still have classes and courses for people of all ages, including day-care for preschoolers, dance and fitness classes, cooking classes, recreational sports, and arts and crafts. Construction is also currently happening to create a really large weight room and fitness centre. I was really happy to find that they still have their Friday youth dances in their gym, even after 10 years. They've even extended the community centre to include a library across the hall, which is operated by the City of Ottawa. The whole building has been renovated to become a really great community resource building. I'd definitely recommend it for parents, but also for anyone looking to take some recreational classes or use their fitness facility.

Great Gym and very convenient. However, anytime fitness is a company with some greasy tactics. They…read moretell you that you can pause your membership for as long as you want, then leave out the part that the membership will automatically start up again after 3 months. This cost me and my friend a substantial amount of money. Another thing is that when you want to cancel your membership, they suddenly inform you that once you cancel it, you have to commit to paying for 2 more 27$ charges. So now once I've cancelled, I have to pay another $55 to just get out of my contract. Anytime Fitness (if you're listening), realize that I was a committed customer of yours for over a year that really loved your gym. I had to cancel because I'm out of a town for a summer job, but it's safe to say that I will never return to Anytime Fitness due to your unfair and greasy business tactics.

I came here twice on a recent work-related trip to Ottawa. The location is fantastic, literally…read morenext door to a great restaurant, town, and close to a lot. The 2nd floor space is really gorgeous -- lots of attention to detail from little potted plants and clean hardwood floors (with stickers, so people know where to line up their mats to maximize space in busy classes -- so smart!). There is just 1 studio but it is spacious with lots of props available. There is a small boutique, and the women's change room has 2 showers as well as small lockable cubbies if you bring a lock. They have filtered water for your water bottle. Washrooms are across the hall. I felt immediately welcome and the girl at reception was really nice. The 2nd time I came, I was also warmly greeted. I like that they have a wide variety of classes, clearly marked on the schedule as room temperature, warm, and hot. I did a warm "go with the flow" class, which was like a vinyasa style and could be as rigorous as you wanted. I also went to a morning community flow ($10 drop-in), which was also great, with lots of hands-on adjustments and relaxing, non-intrusive music. Both teachers I had were friendly and open in their approach. The other students were from all levels and backgrounds. It does seem like a place where anyone would be welcome and if I lived in Ottawa, I could see myself becoming a regular here. For any info, see their website -- it's very nicely laid out and had lots of info so I knew what to expect.

Elevate is one of 2 downtown yoga studios that are the class of the neighbourhood…read more A major reno took place when the current owners took over the studio space from Santosha yoga. The rebrand to "Elevate" and the complete rebirth of the physical studio has made it clean, warm, inviting and super zen. The staff and instructors (I have a soft spot in my yoga heart for Miska) are fantastic. Classes range for all levels and includes classic yin, flow and hot options. There are temperature choices too for those who would like to have a variety of classes. Please note that the hot classes are truly "drip, drip, drip" classes. There is pretty much a class at your fingertips from 6:15 am (hard core types) to 9:00 pm (time to sweat it out and go for a beer). I've found that the class participants are a nice mix of young/not-so-young, men/women, newbies/yogipros. I recommend trying one of the "ball/tuneup" classes. They will change your life ... or what you thought was your life. Ample changerooms, lockers and showers for men and women. Students are welcome. Discounts available. Lots of packages to suit your busy lifestyle. Yoga mats and towels can be rented. Yes, it's on the 2nd floor and there are stairs, so there is an accessibility issue. Close to the great Elgin Street buzz post workout. Lots of parking and bicycle racks. Get Bent. Namaste. elevateyoga.ca

The gym is also very well equipped with machines for bodybuilding. There's a great turf area that's perfect for HYROX-style training, cardio circuits, or ab-focused workouts. Honestly, they have pretty much everything you could think of. Each locker room also has a functioning sauna. I also have to give credit to Lyne and the staff because they really pay attention to the details and make the space a comfortable place to work out without feeling bothered. And Koda the pupper is definitely a bonus! Priced fair and has deals! Je dois dire que ça a été le coup de foudre dès ma première visite dans ce gym! La variété des machines de cardio est excellente. Ils semblent avoir au moins un modèle de tout. Le gym est aussi très bien équipé en machines pour le bodybuilding. Il y a également une belle section de turf, parfaite pour les entraînements de type HYROX, les circuits cardio ou les séances axées sur les abdos. Honnêtement, ils ont pratiquement tout ce qu'on peut imaginer. Chaque vestiaire possède aussi un sauna fonctionnel. Je veux aussi souligner Lyne et le personnel, car ils portent attention aux détails et rendent l'endroit vraiment confortable pour s'entraîner tranquillement, sans être dérangé. Et Koda le petit chien est définitivement un beau bonus! Prix justes avec deals!
