It has been about 8 wonderful months now since I've started coming to Actus. I have found such a warm and welcoming group of people here. From the coaching staff to all of the members, each and every single person has been so incredibly supportive and friendly. CrossFit can be a scary sport from the outside and joining a CrossFit gym can seem pretty daunting but Jonathan is there to help you through the process. The intro/mechanics sessions are such a great way to safely learn all of the workout movements and gain some confidence before participating in the group classes.
CrossFit has changed my life for the better. Even after years of sports and loads of physical activity, CrossFit has transformed me into the fittest version of myself. I also found a great community within Actus, and cannot wait to celebrate 1 year at this gym!!
Actus is an amazing gym with an amazing community! The space is perfect for both classes and open gym - you can always find space to work, whatever you're working on. The coaches are attentive, and classes are the right size for everyone to get some individualized attention. I wouldn't have it any other way!
Amazing gym and very welcoming community. I moved to the Ottawa area and after a short break from CrossFit found Actus. The coaches are friendly and knowledgeable. It's very evident the owner truly cares about his members and makes sure to spend time with them whenever possible.
I'll be a long time member.. 100% recommend checking them out, whether you're new to CrossFit, new to fitness or have years of experience.
I have been going for a few months and it just gets better and better!
Everyone is welcoming and nice, they really go out of their way to be inclusive and kind. The classes are easy to book, the coaches do a wonderful job! I can't recommend this place enough, if you're new or experience this place will exceed expectation and then some!

Highly recommended! 🏋️🔥
I was visiting my good friend in Ottawa today, and a much needed stop was her home away from home, CrossFit Actus, to do a quick fun workout together. The owner, Jon, is so kind and welcoming, and the gym itself is clean, organized and spacious. I will definitely pop by again next time I'm in town!
I train at CrossFit Actus four times a week in their semi-private coaching program and it’s been fantastic: the small-group format gives the right mix of personal attention and group energy, the coaches consistently focus on proper technique and individualized scaling, and the community is supportive, fun, and driven — if you’re looking to push yourself and still feel seen, I highly recommend this program.
Actus is an incredibly welcoming gym, especially for beginners interested in either Individual Coaching or CrossFit. The community here is supportive, friendly, and genuinely motivating. I joined about four years ago during the pandemic, looking for a structured workout routine after never really being a “gym person.” Since Actus is known for CrossFit, I wasn’t sure it would be the right fit, so I started with Individual Coaching with Jonathan and I’m so glad I did! Jonathan keeps you on track toward your fitness goals and helps you build healthy, sustainable habits that truly last. More recently, I started attending a CrossFit class once a week because one wonderful member of this community encouraged me to give it a try. I’ve since discovered another level of support and motivation that I never expected. The coaching is fantastic as well! Highly recommend this gym. If you’re reading this, don’t hesitate, just give it a try!
I dropped into three early morning WODs at Actus while I was visiting Ottawa. Job was quick to reply to my questions and the waiver, payment and class sign up process was very straightforward through the Zen Planner app that they use.
The gym was well equipped and clean. The coaches were welcoming and explained the intent of the WOD to the class. After a thorough warmup, they demonstrated the movements involved in the WOD and worked with all athletes, including me, to scale the work appropriately.
During the WOD all participants received movement corrections and encouragement.
Jon and the team have done a great job of creating a space where both community and health are built. Great job!
I joined about 9 months ago when my employer brought us back to the office, and it’s been the best decision I could have made for myself. I come to the noon class on my lunch break, and it’s the perfect reset in the middle of my day.
The atmosphere is welcoming, the people are amazing, and the coaches take all the guesswork out of fitness. As a busy mom, I have enough decision fatigue—I love that I just show up and the workout is already planned. Even better, I’m getting personalized guidance from a trainer, but at a group price.
I’ve been going to gyms for years, but the progress and skills I’ve gained here in just a few months have far surpassed what I ever achieved on my own. Couldn’t recommend this place more!
Cant say enough how appreciative and impressed I am with this Crossfit Gym. So welcoming and positive, great community with extremely talented and passionate coaches. Facilities have everything you could want, location is convenient, highly recommend you do an intro session with Jonathan the owner, I was a complete newbie but even experienced Crossfitters would get a lot out of those first sessions.
Thank you Actus team, you are a beautiful gem of athletic culture !
I did a drop in here after speaking with Jonathan who went out of his way to accommodate this last minute and I have to say this is a great crossfit box with all the equipment any CrossFitter or weightlifter could ever need, they even had a pair of wooden jerk blocks which is rare to see, showers, plenty of rings and rig space, resistance bands etc etc. I would definitely drop in again if I needed somewhere to train whilst I was in the area. Thanks again Jonathan!
The environment at Crossfit Actus is always welcoming and will accommodate to any injuries/limitations without hesitation. Each coach brings their own perspective and experience and you benefit from all of them. A great place to be if you want to improve your strength and conditioning!
