Very nice people, good and diverse equipment. Good, motivated coaches! Small change room and bathroom but not their fault!

A first class facility with top notch instructors.

CrossFit 819 is an awesome gym for those of all fitness levels! The coaches are fantastic, passionate and knowledgeable. The gym has adapted so well during COVID19 from offering all sorts of classes virtually to even lending out equipment to their members. It is not only a great gym but also a great community!

Eric David

Great and friendly place to workout. Great and friendly people. Great, knowledgeable and friendly coaches always ready to help. Go see for yourself.

Dope gym. Super challenging workouts

In February 2021, I will have been a member for 7 years. So I started originally in the basement gym on St-Raymond. Then, Shane moved the location to Ducharme street (sorta have a liking to the new place). In addition, to the move it was CrossFit certified. I belonged to a Box ! The Coaches, the members are awesome. The gym itself is huge, great new equipment. Just recently, new battling ropes were bought, the cords for were replaced as well as the ropes for the climbs. There is a variety of training you can do: Bootcamp, CrossFit, Kettlebell and Yoga. It is opened 7 days a week, and there is always open gym so if you cannot do the class for whatever reason or you do not feel like you can also do your own thing being there is 2 levels to train.

Marilia Araujo

I absolutely love my membership. This is by far the best gym I have ever attended. The oversight and dedication of the coaches are amazing and I feel that I have the attention and motivation I need! They are always attentive to make sure we are applying the right techniques and not hurting ourselves. Bader, Simon, Shane... you are awesome! Being someone that has been away from the gym for a while, I finally found my place! Thanks for the great service!

Crossfit 819 is a place for motived, posative and supportive people of all ages and fitness levels. Prices are very competative and the facilities are unmatched. 819 presents an opportunity where beginners like myself get coaching, trianing, guidance, instruction and moral support from world class athletes... literal world crossfit games competators. I live in Ottawa and pass three crossfit gyms on my way to 819 that are all closer. This should give you an idea how motivated i am to be a member at this gym.

Pensées et énergies Positives

Je déconseille fortement ce genre d’endroit ou il ce pense tous permit . Ne respecte pas les mesures sanitaires. Malgré le retour de CrossFit 819, je ne change pas de position. Les règles sont clair pour tous. Pas d’échappatoire ! Cette entreprise, dois fermer si la consigne es de fermer. Une fermeture définitive pourrais s’en suivre. Je l’espère.

Max Alain Souffrant

I’m new to CrossFit ,all I can say this a Good gym , they have great coaches, they will teach you how to exercise the right way and all in a safe environment surrounding by great people.

Badr Masri

My first family and Crossfit gym in Canada. Apart from the owner Shane Miller to every and each coach & member: Cedric, Mylene, Kim, Sam (the list goes on...) The 819 community is inclusive, caring and very much alive. The programming is next level for fitness fanatics (specially team workouts on weekends) and if you’re a newbie you’ll find a smooth path to learning the fundamentals and getting into the fitness lifestyle. Give 819 a visit if you’re in the area and talk to one of the coaches, change your life for good.

Remsy Schmilinsky

Best crossfit box in the region!

These guys not only make sure we learn how to do things properly up front with the fundamentals classes, they actually coach every session and provide one-on-one support when needed. It's like having a personal trainer all the time. Thanks Guys

Super ce Gym!!!

Gregory Monteith

I should start with what I consider the prevalent remark to make about crossfit 819. The coaches will do their absolute best to ensure you understand them in whichever of the two languages you feel most comfortable. So if you're in Ottawa and this gym makes sens to you because of proximity, but you weren't sure if you'd be able to do it because it is in Gatineau, don't worry about that at all. The location and the disposition of the gym is great with a lot of space and gear and cleanliness. The coaches are fantastic and they always make you feel supported in your progress, while pushing you to surpass your previous limits. All classes are 1 hour long. The main classes are crossfit, but they also offer specialty classes like gymnastics, mobility classes, bootcamps and other specialty classes that are included. The hours are very convinient with classes starting at 540am for the early birds and all the way to the evening for those that like to go after work, with plenty of classes in between. The owner and staff are very active on their facebook page and by email to the members, keeping in touch with what the members want, and adapting accordingly. Even with the gym being temporarily closed because of COVID-19, the gym is offering excellent ZOOM classes which are challenging and keeping us in the best shape possible while awaiting the reopening of the gym. This is about working at making yourself better, one workout at a time. I was intimidated when I first started because I didn't know anything about crossfit, but I don't regret taking the leap, I feel pretty great in my day to day life, less pain from old injuries, more fitness and mobility overall and impressed with what I can do now that I couldn't do 2 years ago. I'm not saying that there aren't other good gyms out there, but this one is a sure bet for you. Cheers,

Malcolm Shuttleworth

This business has morals and knows this lockdown is wrong. Shane keep doing what youre doing!

Michael Ruiter

Erin Shuart

I can't say enough good things about CrossFit 819! From my first day I was made to feel extremely welcome and comfortable! Everyone is extremely friendly and the workouts are fantastic!

Marie-Eve Giguère

The PhysXtreme gym offers a great facility with ample space, proper layout, and top of the line equipment. But that's not all this gym has to offer. The program diversity, knowledge, and expertise of the coaches outweighs it all! I now have a special place in my heart for the Kettlebell program. It not only helps me build functional strength but stamina as well as endurance while learning proper technique and body structure. However, this is only the tip of the iceberg; Indian clubs, maces, aerial strength and mobility exercises are also part of the regular curriculum. There is never a dull moment!!!! I have recommended this gym to several friends already and will continue to do so. Physxtreme is not only a gym but a family thanks to Shane and all the amazing coaches! Kudos to all of you...

Melissa Proulx

(Translated) THE best gym in town !!! Well located, always clean, knowledgeable and super motivating coaches, diverse programming that adapts to the level of each member, a super welcoming gang ...

Visited Ottawa for a weekend and joined the olympic lifting class for a session. The place is huge with tons of olympic lifting equipment. The 2 coaches were knowledgeable and very helpful. Thanks for letting me join the class.

Maguessa Morel

Great gym with plenty of top of the line equipment and a badass coaching staff.

Blair Walton

Crossfit 819 is an absolute amazing place to train! What makes Crossfit 819 standout is how welcoming they make you feel when come in from the first time. The coach's are friendly, welcoming, and so very knowledgeable. The individuals that train or take a class are also so very friendly, and welcome you with open arms. If you are looking to start into improving your overall fitness or taking it to the next level then you need to come in, and see it for yourself because you will not be disappointed.

Bill Schissel

I am an active senior who is a member at Physxtreme. Great group of people and expert trainers. I very much like the inclusivity and all the help that is provided. It changes your life - one class at a time.

tony coles

Positive overall experience, trainers and staff are first class and professionals.

Catherine Renaud

Great gym, workouts for all levels, tons of equipment and fair price for monthly memberships. Best part has got to be the coaches though! They really care about seeing your fitness journey evolve, they are patient and put an emphasis on proper form. Lots of positivity and good vibes here- definitely recommend!

Véronique Allard

(Translated) If you're looking for a gym, you've found it! The coaches are absolutely great, dedicated, and respect the pace of each, while pushing you to go beyond. You are competing only with yourself. The gym itself is very big and airy. Boot camp, crossfit, kettlebells, there's something for everyone! (Original) Si vous cherchez un gym, vous l'avez trouvé! Les coachs sont absolument supers, dévoués, et respectent le rythme de chacun, tout en vous poussant pour que vous vous dépassiez. Vous n'êtes en compétition qu'avec vous-même. Le gym comme tel est très grand et aéré. Boot camp, crossfit, kettlebells, il y en a pour tous les goûts!

Myriam Couture

(Translated) Lots of latitude to train in the open gym at all times, lots of time slots for group classes, pleasant atmosphere !! (Original) Énormément de latitude pour s’entraîner en open gym en tout temps, beaucoup de plages-horaire pour les cours en groupe, ambiance agréable!!

Heather Blandford

I give Crossfit819 my highest recommendation. It is a great space with top notch equipment and the trainers are knowledgable and motivating. In the past, I've always preferred working out on my own, going at my pace and pushing myself. I am so glad I gave this gym a try - I love the friendly atmosphere and how everyone encourages each other. Members range from serious crossfitters to senior citizens - doesn't matter, you always get a workout that is right for your level. The workouts are so much fun and they are effective. I am so much stronger. My favourite thing about Crossfit819 is the variety in the workouts. You are always doing something different. It's so exciting to show up and discover what they have planned for you that class. It's like having a personal trainer without the heavy price-tag. Shane, the owner, is very caring and genuinely wants to help people reach their fitness goals. His passion to motivate and educate is unmistakable in all of his classes. He has created more than a gym - it is a fitness family. The positive environment makes it a fun place to be so getting in your workout does not feel like a chore. Best gym in the area.

Karen Favereau

I actually love working out but this is the only gym that I have ever stayed with for so long (over 4 years). There are many reasons for this: 1) the coaches - they are always helping with technique and motivation, it's like having a personal trainer with every class; 2) the group setting - it makes it fun but also helps you push yourself because everyone is always encouraging each other, regardless of fitness level; 3) the variety of the workouts and classes; 4) the great equipment...I could go on but in one word, PhysXtreme is just AWESOME!

Allison Jonassen

My home away from home! Professional owner and coaches. Even during trying times, getting zoom classes set up and running smoothly. Amazing place!

Martin Broswater

Super Nice gym with well experienced coaches. Lots and lots of space for open gym, gymnastics and Olympic weightlifting as well.

Tina Whitmore

I have been coming to this gym for 6 years... and I am still enjoying it. It's the best workouts ever, the coaches and other members are great,its like being part of a big strong sweaty family :)

Marie-Claude Pellerin

(Translated) Super nice experience with CrossFit 819. CrossFit 819 is not just CrossFit, it is also Bootcamp, Kettle Bell classes, sports mobility classes, gymnastics classes for fundamental movements, etc. Their training is varied, offered in French and English. The courses offered are suitable for everyone. Coaches are competent. The community is super welcoming. It's a gym like no other. Go for it! To try it is to adopt it! (Original) Super belle expérience avec CrossFit 819. CrossFit 819, ce n'est pas juste du CrossFit, c'est aussi du Bootcamp, des cours de Kettle Bell, des cours de mobilité sportive, des cours de gymnastique pour les mouvements fondamentaux, etc...

I did a lot of research before deciding to start Crossfit. Finally, as I approached CrossFit819, I knew this was what I wanted. Great gym, it's great to practice with a group of passionate and “crazy” guys！Every coach is very professional and every time very patient instruction movement! I love the surprise arrangement of every class!❤️

K Young

Knowledgeable Coaches, Great Communication, Awesome sense of family!

Guillaume Fournier

Best crossfit Gym around, clean, big, excellent coaches and lots of classes!!!

Kevin Dudley

This is a great place to get fit with great trainers and a positive environment for experienced atheletes and beginners alike. Put your game face on and try the fundementals program and I bet your hooked. Thanks Shane, Mylene and Simon (cant remember the other trainers name) for the great work!

Stephanie Freeman

I've been a member of Shane's gym since I moved to Ottawa 5 years ago and I trialled a boatload of gyms before finding Physxtreme. It's hands down the best out there. This gym has an awesome group of coaches. Shane will always take the time to ensure you are safely working toward your fitness goals and he is dedicated to making his gym the absolute best. All of the coaches will push you but make sure you are maintaining good form. There is a great vibe to the space and plenty of amenities but if you really just want a challenging workout every time, check out Crossfit 819.

Julia Seferovic

Can't say enough great things about this place. Been a member almost 6 years! Excellent trainers, top-notch equipment, friendly members. Great place to get fit and stay active. Trained here through 2 pregnancies and returned soon after my babies were born. Coaches helped adapt the workouts to my needs. An awesome atmosphere makes fitness fun--I love it here!

skynour peterson

I could not have been happier with this place. I had a great experience. The coaches were amazing and extremely professional. I would highly recommend this place and I will definitely be going back when I go back to Ottawa

Jacob Campbell

Amazing friendly coaches, who will correct your form with a smile after you mess it up for the hundredth time. The classes are extremely well done and very challenging. Coaches are helpful in finding alternative exercises for those who lack flexibility, and making sure you avoid injury. Very supportive and friendly culture for a gym, feels more like a sports team after a while. I would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for something more challenging then Goodlife classes or regular gym workouts. Hours are not the most convenient for those who like to work out late at night.

Jason jason_prupas88@hotmail.com

My first time trying crossfit and the entire staff is super accommodating and helpful. The customer is beyond expectations as well. Highly recommend!!

Stefano Ferla

Awesome Gym, even better staff!

CHANTELLE CHIDLEY

I moved out east from a different province and in 2018- I decided to take a chance and join this gym. Having never been to a CrossFit gym before I was feeling a little nervous. From the moment I stepped foot in this gym I have felt nothing but welcomed into this community. Not only are the people are amazing- but the coaches are fantastic and you can tell they really have a passion for it! I have made some of the most wonderful friends here and I consider it home now.

Nael Hajjar

Best gym I've ever been to. A real family of great folks to motivate and educate you as you work towards your fitness goals.

David Hridel

The best gym I've ever been, coaches are real athletes, they know what they're doing. Always felt like part of the team :) Thanks a lot to everyone in 819 crossfit :)

Michelle St-Arneault

I was a member at PhysXtreme for three years when they first opened. I had to take a break because of a big change in my schedule. Now that there's a place for children and a schedule that suits mine, I am back. I was just saying yesterday that I do not recall having this much energy in a couple of years. I love the group atmosphere. The energy you get from it makes you want to constantly push harder. If I could give it a 6 star I would!

Heather Kelly

Hard to know where to start... Wonderful space and equipment, amazing coaches (knowledgeable, personable, professional, capable). Even the administration is efficient and friendly. Staff and regulars really make an effort to make you feel like part of the family. I'd been working out for years at various gyms thinking I was getting all I needed from them, but Crossfit819 is in a category all its own - working out here has taught me so much and enabled me to take my strength and fitness to a new level.

Alain Bard

I go here twice a week. Can't beat it.

Ryan Verbenkov

This is by far the best crossfit box I've been part of. Amazing facility and great coaches.

Bernard Cloutier

I have been a member of this gym for about 6 years now. I love the way it works compared with regular commercial gyms where you are just the barcode # on your membership card. At 819, there is no members card. They know you by name. It's like a big family. All the coaches are really professional and the gym itself is big and well equipped. And what makes it fun is all the people how attend the classes. Love it!

Nicolas Chiasson

amazing gym, inclusive community and many varied workout styles are offered every day!
