Testimonials:

Earlier this year, the recession caught up with the job that I had held for 11 years. Not only did I find myself out of work but I was full of self-doubt and uncertainty. In that situation, one of the first things I planned to do was join a gym and get in shape. I want to tell you that finding CrossFIt Orillia and becoming a member is one of the best things I have ever done for myself.


In just 4 months, it has helped me gain strength, endurance and higher self-confidence. But I have also lost a few things, too – 35 pounds, creaky joints and best of all, I no longer have to take expensive prescription medication to control cholesterol.


From my first introduction to CFO, I felt at ease, even if the work outs are – well – hard work. The knowledge and expertise of the instructors, the scaled exercises that have allowed me to improve without discouragement or injury, the inspiring 'high-fives' from other members after completing a work out, the clean surroundings in the gym – these are just a few of the things I appreciate the most.


I would highly recommend CrossFit Orillia to anyone, at any level of fitness, who wants to improve their health and their life!
