“On June 14th I had my first CrossFit class, I wasn't sure how it was going to go, I was very nervous. I told myself not to expect to be able to do much, so that I wouldn't be disappointed in myself if I couldn't.
As it turns out, I could do more than I thought. There was a lot I couldn't do, but I was given modifications that will get me from can't to can.

I started off not being able to run, jump rope, do push ups, do burpees, pull ups, hand stands, rope climbs, box jumps, and my weight lifting left something to be desired. Now I can do many of those things - at least a little bit, or a version of them. Some things I'm still working on.

I did my first hanging knee raise. Not just one, I did a bunch. I didn't think I could, I have to stand on a plate because I'm too short to reach the bar, but I did it! My hands hurt SO MUCH. But I'm so surprised and so proud of myself. Every time I go to class, I can do more. Each time I win.

I win when I put something on and it fits better than the last time. When I pick something up and it feels light. When I don't get out of breath going up a hill or stairs. I don't feel exhausted after doing chores. Those are just everyday things, but I'm winning.

Even though I've accomplished a lot in life, and have worked hard for it - nothing has felt quite like this. I would never have believed that I can do hard things and it can feel good. I feel so much stronger, physically and mentally.

Find something you can win at, and do it. It's so important, as is your mindset.”

“Goodlife closed. Been a member for 12 years. Been seeing AK through friends on Insta, decided to come by late tonight and I met J.R at the front desk. Very welcoming, professional and awesome. Joined right away. The smoothie bar open 24/7 is fantastic. Gym is awesome, equipment is great. 5 star.”

“I was debating on whether to join a gym or CrossFit, and after talking with a friend who is a member at Insight I decided to give it a try. I’m so glad I did. The coaches are fantastic, they really encourage you, and help you to perform the exercises correctly. There is a nice community, the members are very welcoming and supportive. All the workouts can be scaled to your ability, so no matter your fitness level you can feel a sense of accomplishment at the end of the workout.”

“Hands down, joining HB Fitness was one of the best decisions I have ever made! I've joined many gyms in my past, but I have never found one like HB Fitness. The workouts are SO FUN and the trainers/coaches are truly inspiring. The workouts/classes are led by personal trainers who give hands on instant feedback and adjustments/modfications during workouts/classes. The music is blaring and the entire atmosphere is inclusive, energetic, and exciting. I've always been super apprehensive when it comes to a gym setting. However, all of the trainers/coaches have made me feel super comfortable, capable, and confident.I recommend attending Caley's classes! Caley is personable, always so upbeat, motivating, and extremely knowledgable. Since day one, Caley has offered me tons of support and encouragement during my fitness journey. Everyday she provides me with guidance and support in helping me achieve my fitness potential and goals. I really like how she give me tips and tricks to get the most out of every workout. My favourite class is spinning - Sweat, Vibe, and Ride! Caley provides the class with different workouts (you will never do the same workout twice). She has high energy, a killer playlist, and she will always push you to your limits! Everyday, I look forward to walking through the doors because she makes me feel so welcomed and comfortable.I’ve been attending HB Fitness for six months and I am already seeing a big change in my energy levels and body. It’s great! 10/10 recommend!”

“This gym is a hidden gem in Barrie. I absolutely love this facility. The place is always clean. And looking good. The staff at finest are top notch and caring people. Including all the trainers (whom are very approachable and knowledgeable) will happily assist you with any questions regarding your health and wellness. I appreciate the fact that employees here are like family, they all seem to enjoy their jobs and make an effort to get to know people, it's a nice touch that I didn't get at other gyms. The facility is generally not super busy, it's perfect if you're someone like me who doesn't like people or working out with 20 dudes all flexing for each other in the mirror (looking at you AK). The other features that make this gym stand out is they have an outdoor area to get a workout done. It's surprisingly alot nicer to do my sets in the sun! And my absolute favorite part of this business is that members can bring their dogs! I always have the best days after I work out with a canine companion! It's soo cool they let us do that! They even let me blast drum n bass over the speakers when it's not too busy. Overall I'm extremely happy with signing up to this gym. I can't imagine going elsewhere anytime soon. If you're considering signing up to a gym you cannot go wrong with finest fitness.Also note: over the past 6 years I've tried several other gyms in Barrie and surrounding areas and this place is easily the best overall.”

“One of the best gyms I have ever been a part of. The owners are genuinely passionate about getting you fit but also making you feel great!They back up their talk with incredible hard work and a focus on growth and improvement in both themselves and their clients.The amazing attitude flows through the gym space and the members every day and every single person is made to feel welcome and motivated.You can’t do any better. Simple.”

“Looking to learn more in my fitness journey and get out of my comfort zone of working out at home for two years, I decided to try CrossFit. The Cabin happened to be local to me, which is why I choose them, but I'm glad I did. The coaches I've met so far, (I'm about 10 weeks in), have been so great. They are supportive, encouraging, helpful and are there to help you succeed. The members have been very welcoming and friendly. I'm not a hugely social person and I wondered how I would 'fit in' to the 'CrossFit community'. but it's totally fine. It is a nonjudgmental environment. Even though I had a lot of learning to do (and still do), they have been helping me learn in a positive way, every step of the way. I have a co-worker that joined a different CrossFit gym in Barrie and pays the same I do monthly but is only allowed to go 3x a week (which seems counterintuitive to me). The Cabin wants you to come in and give your best, as much as you want. The also have Intro classes to help noobs like myself. It's also very family supporting atmosphere.Can't say enough good things, and I'm glad I decided to join. If you're considering CrossFit, I encourage you to come to The Cabin CrossFit, and check them out for yourself.”
