Actus Individual Fitness

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.

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!

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

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!
