Friendship Fitness & Nutrition

FF is a great community gym with a broad demographic of members. Teenagers to CrossFit men and women in their twenties and thirties, to Gen Xers such as myself. I joined specifically looking for a community of people I could connect with on my weight loss journey, and I am surprised at how quickly I have gotten to know other members. It's been awesome.

The staff, who are all certified trainers, are super knowledgeable and beyond friendly. During class they know how and when to further challenge those athletes who can take it, and they also help those (such as myself) scale down and modify a movement when needed. Safety is important to them, and they are keen to protect and work around any injuries I might be struggling with.

The biggest gain for me is the comradery. At first it was intimidating to have class members clap and cheer me on. I didn't care for the attention because I was so new and on a learning curve. But now that I've been there a while not only do I appreciate it, I participate in encouraging those around me. Again, it's awesome. Highly recommend it.

My partner and I have been coming to Friendship for about a month now and we absolutely love it! Even though we are at pretty different levels/abilities with our fitness, we really enjoy taking classes together because the coaches are great at offering scaled versions of the workout to meet you where you are in your journey. Everyone you meet here is really encouraging and friendly. The one on one training sessions that get you started were great to learn the basics, understand correct form, and ask questions.

I knew that I needed accountability if I wanted to stick with a fitness plan, and I’ve found that here. The coaches know you by name and are really invested in making sure you’re doing everything safely while pushing you. If you’re looking for a welcoming, community-focused environment, this is it!

I have been going to Friendship a little over a month and so far I love it. I had never done any type of structured fitness and opted to start with personal training and nutrition counselling to get me started on the right track. The personal training really helped me gain confidence in the movements as well as get a feel for what the gym was like. The nutrition portion broke things down in an easy to understand way that was more about telling me what I should look for when I am eating rather than focusing on things I need to cut out.

The group classes have also been great the coaches often come by and give active feedback on my form and help me adjust the workout if it is a little too hard for me.

All in all I highly recommend Friendship to anyone that is starting out on their fitness journey for the first time or people that just want a welcoming environment to get some intense but fun workouts in.

I just recently joined Friendship and so far am having a great experience. The communication and connection with a specific coach has been phenomenal! I feel like there is someone available to address any concerns or issues if I need it. The classes are really fun and I’ve met such great people! The coaches are really nice and are very available during class to help you adjust anything or learn a new skill. I would definitely recommend this gym!

Staff is extremely kind, knowledgeable, professional and accommodating. Highly recommend!
