I have been going to bodies by phil for about 4 months now, I absolutely love this gym and the classes. Being someone who has always been in to fitness, I was looking for a change that was more challenging that would push me harder instead of doing my own workouts. The atmosphere, trainers, classes and community are exactly what I was looking for to keep me motivated and progress my fitness goals. If you are looking for group fitness that will push you and has a social aspect to it, you have to try this gym or at least a free class!

After being inactive for most of the pandemic, I finally joined a gym with quality group exercises. It was a shock to the system. But I’ve noticed a vast improvement to my sleep, metabolism, mobility and endurance. The classes are fun — with a heavy emphasis on good form, and challenging yourself safely. I’m still appalled by how much weaker I have become from slacking off over the last two years. But this program is helping me regain some of the confidence and strength. The trainers are observant, motivating and helpful. I’m so glad to have found this very inclusive place.

I started BodiesbyPhil last week on the intro package! I like their approach its well-structured which targets different parts of the body in different classes. I also like the use of statistics to track results. The trainers are attentive to everyone in the group which I think is important for an effective workout. I am new to lot of the workouts so I needed a bit more help. The gym also offers monthly challenges and donation classes so I look forward to doing those in the future when I join as a member. Great atmosphere- casual but motivating! Lots of positive energy and meets my exception for a well structured workout! The location is great- located in the heart of downtown near major subway stops. The music is awesome. My only recommendation would be to look into offering an ab class- arguable all the class have an element of core. 100% recommend! #strongAF

The best group fitness studio in Ottawa. Excellent very knowledgeable trainers, welcoming front desk staff and an immaculate facility. The other members are wonderful and really make you feel safe and comfortable while you’re learning. Nice to have a preset workout split set up with upper and lower lift and then 2 cardio based days. Scaleable workouts for any fitness level. And first workout is free!

I LOVE this place. I’m new to weight training and was quite nervous about trying it, but Bodies By Phil is perfect! No matter your fitness level – or age – you belong here. I usually go to a morning class and walk into the studio not fully awake and wondering ‘what am I doing here’, and I always walk out feeling perfect. Fabulous trainers, fabulous workouts, fabulous music, fabulous and welcoming community. Don’t hesitate for another second – get yourself to Bodies by Phil!

I don't even know how to describe how I feel about BodiesbyPhil. The workouts kick my butt but, they bring me absolute joy. The trainers bring me joy too. Honestly, the best part is the black and yellow aesthetic of the place. When I walk in, I feel like a bumble bee: happy, fuzzy, thick and ready to do something aerodynamically impossible.

When F45 Ottawa closed, I never thought that I would find another gym with the same community feel. WOW!! Bodies by Phil is even better. From the moment I walked in, the staff and fellow members have been supportive, caring and non-judgmental. The environment is everything I was looking for and MORE. This is my new home!! If you haven’t tried a class yet, go for it!! You will not be disappointed.

Fun time, felt like summer camp lol. And whoever picks the music has good taste, misfits rock. Also, Phil was a really encouraging and funny trainer and I can't wait to see what the other trainers are like. Free first class is a great incentive to try something new.
