I started using Custom Strength in July. Love the ability to use gym facilities and sharing a trainer who is watching how we train. I especially enjoy my time with Sara, she is very attentive.

I started at Custom Strength as part of my rehabilitation after a serious accident. Elsbeth created a custom program to address my weaknesses while working with my physiotherapist. This training significantly improved my recovery and long term prospects. The encouragement from staff and fellow clients was amazing. I recommend Elsbeth and Custom Strength to anyone who wants to improve their physical shape in a positive and supportive environment. If I hadn't moved so far away, I would still be a client.

I've been working out at Custom Strength for 3 years. As someone who prefers to be active outside, I doubt there is another gym anywhere that could have kept me as a client for this long! Elsbeth and her staff welcome everyone and sometimes it feels like a big family. The personalized programs, attentive trainers and clean bright space make it really enjoyable to work out at Custom Strength. And the best part is I feel stronger in middle age than ever before! I highly recommend Custom Strength!

I own a sports injury clinic here in Ottawa and have been working with Custom Strength ever since they opened. Elsbeth’s team is reliable, dedicated and committed to improving function and strength. They’ve helped our patients overcome injuries, restore core stability deficits and navigate the careful progressions needed to avoid set backs. I’d recommend their team without hesitation for the armchair athlete right up to the high performance athlete. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Prior to the pandemic, I had been regularly working out (strength + cardio) for almost 40 years at an average of 3-4 times/week. Following a string of lower back and sciatica issues during the pandemic, I have lost a lot of strength and my athletic therapist suggested that I work on strengthening my lower body. In late 2021, I joined Custom Strength to help me get back “n shape” after failed attempts to gain more strength by myself. Elsbeth’s trainers developed a program tailored to my specific needs, and this program has evolved over time as I improved. I had to re-learn how to workout as I realized I had been doing it wrong for over 40 years (e.g. too much weight, too much reps, neglecting important muscles, etc.). The trainers at Custom Strength are attentive (they listen to your needs), discrete (no shouting “boot-camp”style), and pay particular attention to my form to reduce the risk of injuries. The semi-private coached sessions format are great as I go through my own individual program on my own and be corrected on my form by the trainer. Since I started my coached-led sessions, I’ve seen a clear improvement on my general strength with also no relapses on my previous issues and I generally feel much stronger. I resume many physical activities such as cycling and cross-country skiing, to name a few. I highly recommend Custom Strength. It’s a great investment for your health.
