Hands down the best experience in my many years of weight training. The coaching discipline is top notch. You will not be dissatisfied.

My favourite place

I joined CrossFit Barrie about three months ago. There is such a supportive community here. When I first started working out, I was the last one to finish and was still running. A fellow member came out and ran with me so I wouldn't have to go it alone. Thats the kind of place CrossFit Barrie is.

Great place and people

It takes very little time for anyone to see the true passion that every coach has to help you be the very very best you can be physically. The smiles, concentration and guidance leave no doubt that they all believe in and love what they do. Combining that with a group who will cheer you on, push and support you. It simply becomes a valuable part of your day and part of your lifestyle.

I have been going to CrossFit Barrie for almost three years. As a former collegiate soccer athlete, I do best in a group/team settings, where there is a coach to direct and guide me through my workout. I love the fact that I can show up to CrossFit Barrie, the workout is already in place, and the coaches and members in each class push me to be my best. I am continuously learning and improving because the coaching at CFB is top notch. The coaches motivate me to push a bit harder and take risks, but also understand when I need to back off and rest. The variety in the workouts challenge me but keep me motivated. I used to attend group classes at traditional gyms, but I never made any friends like I have at CFB. This is one of things I enjoy most. Walking into CFB and being able to talk to several different people about their day, their family, or anything. You really get to know people here. I love the diversity of our members and meeting new people from all over Barrie. My time at CrossFit Barrie is about getting stronger, becoming more fit, and being around great people. I enjoy the fact that each class has a range of people who work at their own level, but in the end, we all finished the same thing. For me, this is what being a team is all about. The staff and members at CrossFit Barrie are what keep me coming back each day and it is one hour of my day that I really look forward to.

This place makes me feel amazing! The coaches and community environment are both supportive and encouraging. Wherever you are in your health and wellness journey, you will benefit from coming here. Their protocols during Covid ensures safety is a priority!

Highly recommend to all! Upon stepping foot in the Crossfit Barrie gym, I was hooked. Being a retired varsity athlete, I absolutely love the concept of working as an individual but within in a strongly knit team who are working towards a common goal. You definitely get this environment here, regardless of previous gym experience. Awesome coaches too!

I have never felt unwelcome at CrossFit Barrie! It’s an absolute judgement-free zone with such an amazing community of members and coaches! I can confidently say that my fitness has not only improved, but excelled from the programming here and it’s focused on any and EVERY body that comes from all different walks of life.

Very welcoming and encouraging coaches and athletes. Had two workouts with them and really enjoyed my experience. Both days I left sweaty and ready to take on the day. Thanks for having me!!

Crossfit Barrie is a life changer. Every workout is a challenge it doesn't matter what skill level you're at every class will leave you with a feeling of accomplishment and pride. The results are amazing and speak for themselves. The coaches are knowledgeable, friendly and are there to help prevent injury as well as push you to meet new PersonalRecord's. If you're serious about getting stronger or fitter then stay away from the big box gyms and try some Olympic lifting and high intensity work outs.

Anna Murley

Friendly atmosphere. Encouraging coaches and members. Very professional from first contact via email through to meeting one on one to personal sessions all the way to joining in the classes. The coaches take the time to help you feel confident in yourself for that day's workout. Fellow members are helpful and friendly. I am always excited to go work out (5 days a week) ????????️

As of February 1st 2016 I became the majority owner of CrossFit Barrie as the final step to fulfilling my dream of doing something I love. After being a member of CrossFit Barrie for 3 ½ years I decided to make the leap and buy into the business as part owner. Initially I bought in because I wanted to do something I loved, change my hobby into a career. Once I started to get to know all of the members individually (not just the ones I used to workout with as a member at 11:30am or 4:30pm) my focus shifted from fulfilling my own dreams to helping others achieve theirs. It is not very often that you get to help shape and change people lives in your job, but I do and am grateful for our members at CrossFit Barrie that allow me to do that. We’ve helped people get their energy back, allow them to play with their kids without being winded, helped them change their insulin pump levels, been part of recovery after triple bi-pass surgery, made people feel more confident, comfortable, and good in their own skin. It’s helping and impacting others in this way that fuels my fire to get up every morning and do my part. This is not just about getting results, this is about the environment that we have created to make it a loving, supporting, caring, atmosphere that focuses and aims to help you achieve your goals. Our focus as a community, gym, and business is a commitment to facilitate our athlete’s continuous personal development. For me, CrossFit is an effective training methodology that has allowed me to achieve all of my physical and athletic goals, and continues to do so. I do CrossFit and decided to buy the business because I love it!!! You may not fall in love with working out right away but let us help you find your energy, your confidence, and fall back in love with yourself. You are definitely worth it!!! Hope to see you soon and if not, find something else you'll love that fuels your fire. :)

Great coaches and great programs.

Crossfit is the equivalent of getting an apple with a razor blade in it for Halloween. Sure it might seem healthy, but you're just going to hurt yourself doing it. Also not very Alpha.

Love this place!

Join a real gym, don't waste your money here. They let you run on the side of a busy road as part of their workout????

Sarah Langman

Crossfit Barrie has changed my life! I think that CFB offers a fantastic class schedule allowing me the flexibility I need in my own schedule. The coaches are awesome and the programming is great. I really enjoy the community atmosphere and look forward to meeting new people...and the encouragement and help that you get from the coaches makes such a huge impact..especially when you are struggling and learning.I love how easy it is to bring my son along to the classes...I hope it will set a good example for him. All in all CFB has exceeded my expectations and look forward to my next 6 months!

Such a wonderful environment with great coaches, programming and a supportive community.

In September of 2015, my boyfriend and I moved from Toronto to Barrie and immediately set out to find our new Crossfit home. After trying out 2 boxes in the Barrie area, where we experienced gym owners who stood by the front desk talking to his family member during a 17 minute WOD and an owner who encouraged members to add weight to their barbell while showing poor form, we were nervous that our time of Crossfitting was over. I decided to email Crossfit Barrie and within a few hours received an email back from gym owner, Ashley asking us when we could come in for a consultation. As soon as we walked though the door, we were greeted by one of the coaches who introduced himself and shook our hands as Ashley came over. We spent over 30 minutes talking to Ashley about what we were looking for and our experiences at the 2 other boxes in the area. We didn't feel rushed and felt we were truly being heard. We signed up that day and have never looked back. Crossfit Barrie is hands down the best in Barrie and best bang for our buck. Coaches know everyone by name, are very knowledgeable and push you through that 'I can't go on' or 'this is really heavy' mindset during a WOD. Stop by Crossfit Barrie before you check out any other Crossfit boxes in the area. #crossfitbarrie @crossfitbarrie

Soo I was scrolling facebook and came across crossfit insight barrie 6 week challenge and decided to sign up for the orientation just to see what it was about as I have heard good things about crossfit but didnt know much about it. So I went and got a good feeling I am very intimated by other gyms as I dont know where to start and they explained that they are different classes every day. that I really liked soo I signed up and was worried the first class that I wouldn't be able to keep up but they are very accommodating to every fitness level. Jody was amazing at inspiring me to get to my goal and to eat right. The first week was the most challenging as i was tempted by junk food alot but I keep saying no to myself after that it got easier and meal prep is a must. The 6 weeks challenge went by super fast people and all couches are all awesom and very friendly they are very supportive though every class. The goal was to lose 25lbs in 6 weeks and I lost 29lbs I feel amazing dont crave sweets as much and if I do a fruit I eat. I recommend this to anyone. Thank you for the life challenging experience.

The best coaches, the best schedule, the best community. Walking through the doors was incredibly out of my comfort zone but I'm so glad I did. CrossFit Barrie has given me confidence, strength, happiness and feeling of belonging! You always leave doing something better than you did before! You get better every time you go and there is always something to challenge you
