Ottawa Fight and Fitness

Best muay thai/boxing gym in Ottawa undoubtedly! Having recently moved away from Ottawa, I was a member for almost 4 years and am going to sorely miss classes with Sacha, John and company. The owner and instructors are passionate and dedicated, approachable and encouraging. The gym is always clean and the equipment is top notch. OF&F has a great mix of members that make for fun and motivating classes. Great place whether you are looking to try out a martial art for the first time or if you're more experienced and looking for good sparring partners (promise you your clinch game will improve), OF&F has it all!

Easily one of the most authentic and best martial arts/combat sports gyms in the city (which there don’t seem to be enough of in my opinion). I have been training here for about 1.5 years and have gotten into by far the best shape of my life + learned technique applicable for sport, self defense, etc. The gym has muay thai, boxing, grappling programs as well as athletic conditioning classes, and the facility is well maintained. There are no pushy sales tactics, hidden membership fees, or gimmicks. Sacha is a great guy and an amazing instructor. The environment is welcoming and open to all levels and whether you want to compete or simply train for recreational purposes, you will be hard pressed to find a better training environment in the area.

I have been going to Ottawa Fight and Fitness for years. It is an amazing gym with a really welcoming environment and great instructors. The protocols they have implemented to reopen safely amid COVID-19 are super thorough, and they have gone above and beyond in terms of keeping the gym clean and keeping members informed. Go check it out! You won't regret it!

Best Muay Thai gym I have ever been to! I’ll preface this by saying I am not a person who has ever loved the gym or working out, but I do enjoy the technical part of Muay Thai. The welcoming and accessible atmosphere of Ottawa Fight and Fitness, along with the great instruction, have made this gym one of my favourite places to be! The instructors are all highly skilled and knowledgeable yet are still able to explain techniques for the less advanced/experienced. Everyone is very positive and encouraging. I have definitely grown more in my technique than what I had at other gyms. Only wish I had signed up sooner.With the pandemic, OFF really came through for their members with initial online workouts which then progressed into reopening the gym. Sacha really stayed on top of all the updates and safety protocols – the result being an amazing set up to meet all the COVID-19 requirements. Every member is screened prior to being allowed in and the class sizes are appropriately limited so each member has their own, individual training space complete with a heavy bag. Rigorous cleaning protocols are in place, with the bags and training areas sanitized between classes. I feel incredibly safe training here and cannot recommend this gym and its community enough!

I attended their evening Muay Thai fundamentals class this past thursday and it was a great experience. The gym has a beautiful aesthetic, more than enough space, all the equipment needed with high quality, and the vibe of an amazing place to go and train. It's a very clean and positive environment with very welcoming people, from all levels and a great coach. If you're looking for great Muay Thai, there is no other place to come than Ottawa Fight and Fitness.

Covid review: Beyond impressed with the professional job done to meet Covid requirements! I've been to a couple classes since they've opened up at the start of this week and it's been a real treat. Sasha screens each member coming in to the gym, has set up the gym to meet physical distancing, and has high standard cleaning practices of the equipment. Sasha has really nailed it and the gym set up should be used for an example for others. So if anyone is thinking about coming back to the gym, or thinking about joining, expect a Covid compliant clean gym, with friendly positive staff and members.

My first ever experience as a 23 yr old in a fighting gym was here and I was very happy about it. Coaches Sasha, Wahab and (I think Ali?) Are all solid guys, very clear and know their stuff and push your to your limits and are good teachers. Although it's a bit pricy and amenities aren't the best for 150$/mo (no lockers, very few bathroom stalls), the classes and underground feel is great. I was here for 2 months then I moved out of Ottawa, but otherwise I would've stayed there much longer. If you are in Ottawa and want to start fighting classes this is the place to go. 9/10

I just love this place and the instructors (coaches) are fun to be around.

Best and most authentic gym in Ottawa, with one of the most respected and knowledgeable instructor in the industry.
