We focus on simple and effective

FiiT is designed to cater to all levels of physical fitness. Our group classes and personal training sessions are performed at beginner, intermediate, or advanced levels. This ensures that whether you are just starting your fitness journey or have been at it for years, you will get the most out of your FiiT experience.

Our most important component can be found right in our name: FUNCTION

Every day, a new workout is carefully created with a specific purpose in mind. While the benefits of our system are numerous, its greatest strength lies in the deficit created. No two workouts are ever the same, and as a result, your muscular and energy systems are never able to get into a true comfort zone (this is how plateaus happen). While engaging in a FiiT session, your body is constantly forced to adapt and adjust to the new demands. The result: metabolism is elevated and calorie expenditure is increased so in a 45-minute workout you can expect to burn up to 500 calories or more.

Our Staff

Jenna Lu / Trainer

Jenna has been surrounded by sports for all her life. Specifically, Taekwon-Do, soccer, and climbing have been her biggest influences so far.

Her parents met through Taekwon-Do, and they own a Taekwon-Do studio right here in Ottawa. She started practicing the art when she was just 3 years old. The Lu’s are a big family of black belts who love to teach and practice the art worldwide. Jenna’s passion is teaching self-defense because it is such an important asset to have all through-out life.

In addition to Taekwon-Do, soccer has been a huge part of Jenna’s life. She has been playing high level soccer since the age of 7.

Jenna recently retired from University varsity soccer, but continues to kick around at any chance she can get. Soccer has harvested Jenna’s drive to train hard and it has taught her to persevere through physical and mental set-backs. She loves teaching the youth technical skills that will allow them to succeed at the next level. During her down time, you can find Jenna juggling the ball and practicing freestyle tricks for fun!

She hasn’t had any other job that did not revolve around the wellness and health of the people around her.

Meg Connolly / Front of House

You will most likely catch Meghan behind the front desk chatting away to members while serving up a mean espresso before your beloved 6am FiiT House class.

Meghan has been with FiiT House since it opened it’s doors back in 2016. She comes and goes throughout the year and then sticks with us all summer long until she heads back to St.FX University in Antigonish, Nova Scotia every September.

From there she volunteered as a ‘Karma’ girl to be able to gain experience in the world of boutique gyms and be able to work out as much as she could. 6 years later and Meghan has gained experience on both the front end and back end of the business under the wing of John Robinson.

Dalia Zelayandia / Front of House

Dalia has a passion for weightlifting and HIIT style training thanks to FiiT House.

Growing up, Dalia played soccer and boxing, but quickly lost interest and spent most of her teenage years being inactive– she knew that something had to be done. After a year of practicing HIIT style workouts at home, she knew she needed a challenge and was looking to apply at gyms.  Without any prior awareness of its existence, FiiT House was the perfect place.

“I was embraced and welcomed from the very start! The community and encouragement is something that I have felt from the very start”. Dalia has been able to sustain her progress and now has a love and passion for weightlifting and HIIT style training thanks to FiiT House.

Nic Curcio / Social Media Coordinator

“ Before finding FIIT, I had tried every gym in the city and I wasn’t able to find the right fit for me.”

I was repeatedly hitting plateaus, and never got the results I wanted. After my first class at the House’, I was hooked. I was able to challenge myself in every workout while being surrounded with staff and members who actually cared about me. After 3 months of daily 6am classes, many shots of espresso, 20 lbs lost, and countless corrections of form (thanks to Coach Muldoon, Laura, and Jamie), I had finally found the missing piece to the puzzle: FiiT House. When I was presented with the opportunity to work behind the front desk, I took the position without hesitation. Ever since then, I have been able to learn, sweat, and do what I love. I walk in to every shift excited to work.”

John Robinson / Founder

“FiiT is the kind of gym I wanted to be a part of, but couldn’t find.”

As founder of FiiT House, John combined his entrepreneurial skills as founder of Intega IT – a boutique IT managed services company in Ottawa – with his love for fitness and health. Bringing the same theory that boutique, one-to-one client relationships foster a fun and positive environment for success, John set forth on creating a convenient and dynamic facility for fitness that merged with what he knew were the busy schedules of people just like him.

“We all want to set time aside for exercise and fitness, but it can be hard when you’re a working professional with a family. I wanted Fiit House to be a gym that people looked forward to going to because of our community, our programming, convenience, and the concierge approach to our clients.”
