This is my new happy place, other then my garage I guess. I love how they offer the full CrossFit experience, but always have a fitness alternative in case anything is just... a bit much. As a non weight lifter, I mean like ever, the thought of CrossFit was intimidating. But the ability to start with scaled workouts and get amazing coaching at every turn has made this a great experience.
I love having coaches that worry way more about good technique then big weights. And the members reflect the culture practiced by the coaches and teachers. Friendly, welcoming, always smiling, supportive and flat

I spent the better part of a week training at Onside when I was visiting Halifax and didn’t want to let things slide while travelling. I found the coaches and the community friendly and welcoming, and felt right at home almost immediately. The class programming was challenging and dynamic, and the box itself has everything you need for a great workout, including a perfectly gruelling slope of driveway along the side of the building used for running during WODs. Nate, the head coach, is encouraging, knowledgeable, and very funny — in short, a terrific leader, and you can tell right away that

I never wrote a review before but I felted compelled to do so for Onside. I joined Onside Feb 2019 with zero experience in the Crossfit field. I recall not knowing a single person at the gym and nerves of the "what am I getting myself into". This was easily calmed by meeting Nathan & Jenny. They both provided a great experience and it wanted me to continue even further.
The classes, workouts, special events and services that are provided at Onside are all top notch 5 stars+. The best part of all is the community that coaches and members provide. Everyone at Onside will create the best atmosphere

I visited Onside Performance while I was in Nova Scotia visiting my daughter and husband. She is a member of the gym, and loves it. Everyone was incredibly welcoming and supportive! I had an awesome workout, listened to a sports nutrition talk and met some great, positive people! I highly recommend you stop in to one of their drop in classes or book a free intro...you will not be disappointed!

A little story about my Onside experience.
As I got older, a lack of exercise, had caught up to me, and the few activities that I liked to do, were no longer as much fun as they once were. Everyday life was a bit harder as well. I knew I had to do something about it. I thought of joining a regular gym, but I had never been to a gym in my life. I was really intimidated, because I wouldn't know where to start, or how to figure out a workout routine that would work for me, or if I even could keep up motivation to stick with it.
I wanted to feel more confident in my movements, and get some strength

The team at Onside have been amazing! Nathan and Jenny are very welcoming to new people! Nathan has been very helpful with technique and modifications for me. I have a shoulder injury and he had no problem scaling the workout for me and offering advice on technique. Overall, a great facility to train and feel like part of a family!

I dropped in for a couple classes while I was in town. The owners Nathan and Jenny are great. Very welcoming and they have a sweet dog. And I was able to work out with Nathan, which was humbling. The gym is in a quiet business park. Easy to run around and do other fun stuff outside. The other members are so friendly, too. Highly recommend if you're in the area.

CrossFit Onside is a awesome facility. The gym is clean and well kept and the coaches are amazing and well trained. There is a positive atmosphere and people of all ages and fitness levels are made to feel welcome and supported. I would recommend CrossFit OnSide to anyone looking for a supportive environment to start working out or to develop further as an athlete. Hope to see you all there!
