Testimonials

"I joined UFIT this past fall after training solo. I felt it was the right time to join a gym to provide the elements that I missed in my home routine. I was right. The atmosphere at UFIT has helped create momentum that has elevated my fitness level in a way that I was not able to do on my own. The energy in the room during classes, the variety of exercises and routines, support, knowledge, and social element has been a welcome change that acts as a pull each morning I train. I have been a member at many gyms over the years and I can say, without hesitation, I enjoy this gym and the people at UFIT the most!"

- Robert Cumming

“THE BEST locally owned and operated gym in Kingston for group classes / personal training! The trainers are all very helpful and the schedule has an ideal variety for class times. With the health supplement shop, lululemon boutique and massage therapy offered on site, I can't say enough positive things about this gym!"

- Christina Thorne

"I have been a part of the UFIT family for 3 years. When I say family, I truly mean it. This gym is by far the best gym I have ever been to and I think I have gone to most in this city. This is the only gym that hosts events for members and makes an extra effort to ensure all are welcome. If you are having a difficult day or haven't been able to attend,  you can count on someone to reach out and lift you up. I truly don't know what I'd do without them."

- Laura MacKellar

"Josh has been my personal trainer for the past 8 years. If you know me, to say that is a huge compliment. I was very intimidated at the thought of going to a gym, but Josh immediately set me at ease with his kindness, knowledge, and professionalism. He has helped me overcome self-imposed barriers and has given me the confidence to try things I never thought I could do. Thanks to Josh and the entire team at UFIT Kingston

 for making me feel welcome and successful!"

- Dr. Beth German

"My first time at UFIT I attended a Saturday HIIT class and I have been hooked ever since!
The atmosphere is amazing, the workouts are fun and the fellow members are inspiring. I feel comfortable knowing the workouts are led by experienced personal trainers who provide instant feedback and hands-on adjustments to ensure I am getting the most out of my workout safely. 

 I am so happy with my results, I feel stronger and more confident. I look forward to walking through the doors and always leave feeling great.
I highly recommend UFIT to anyone no matter where you are in your fitness journey."

- Emilie Russel

"A friend brought me to UFIT 7 years ago to try one of the classes and I was hooked! I
was looking for a new workout option and immediately felt welcomed by the
owner/trainer Josh. Being in my late 40’s at the time I was worried I was too out of
shape but I couldn’t have been more wrong. Everyone works at their own level and
options are always there when needed. The encouragement is not just from Josh and
other trainers but the UFIT members as well. I look forward to my workouts and seeing my UFIT family members every class!

- Lindsay Paterson

"Because of Tyler, the gym has become an easy and enjoyable part of our lifestyle, rather than a burden we feel we 'should' undertake. This is a huge win for us, as we aren't natural gym lovers and it can be easy to avoid working out. Tyler matches our vibe for each session, helps us to understand the benefits of our progress, and creates programs that help to counter our desk jobs. Working with Tyler has been a pleasure and has created a lasting impact on our health and lifestyle."

- Merina & Matt

"Unreal experience at UFIT! Josh and his trainers make you feel welcome and part of a community. During the pandemic, it would be easy to fall for online/virtual trainers but you need to put in the work, and UFIT ensures you do. They have many options from personal training, team training, semi-private & group classes which are always fun and you can try them risk-free. If you are in the Kingston area and looking for a great workout and community to immerse yourself in then you've found it in UFIT."

- Ian Budge - Owner Right Move Physiotherapy

"I can’t say enough amazing things about UFIT! The gym itself is a great facility, but the people are the best! I was nervous to come to a new gym but Josh and Sara were so welcoming I quickly felt like I belonged. UFIT really is a special place that I’m lucky to call my gym! I recommend it to anyone looking for a change, challenge or chance to take care of themselves!"

- Kendra Brennan

"Josh and his team are not only professional trainers but truly exceptional people! Not only do they plan amazing workouts each and every week, they modify and help each client as their workout. Attend one group class at UFIT and you will immediately feel that you're a part of their community. It's been truly an amazing experience this past year training at UFIT and I look forward to many more years of training with this amazing and fun crew"

- Elizabeth Adamson

"My husband and I have tried many gyms throughout the city over the years. 2 years ago we started coming to UFIT. We couldn’t be happier to have found this gym. It offers what we both enjoy- personal training as well as group classes and on top of it all a great community of people that we are so lucky to have gotten to know. Josh & Sara are something special in the fitness industry. They make sure you feel like family and do everything possible to ensure everyone feels comfortable and enjoys their time in the gym. We continue to recommend it to our friends and family and they too realize the difference UFIT has. It’s a place we look forward to going throughout every week and we are so happy to have become a part of the UFIT family.”

- Kayla & Colin Dawdy

“I have been going to UFIT for their classes and personal training since February 2020. Through all the restrictions of the pandemic, the team at UFIT has made me feel extremely comfortable to attend again after each lockdown. UFIT Makes you feel like a part of the family and going to the gym has become something I actually enjoy."

- Meg Toulouse

My son Mitchell has been trained by Josh since 2019 to present. He was a playing High School football for Holy Cross and looking to University Varsity football. Josh tailored his training curriculum to increase strength , speed and agility. Mitchell was subsequently recruited by Queens University Varsity football in the Linebacker position Josh continues to train him in the off season!! Definitively Josh's diverse background in personal fitness training and the CFL has provided the building blocks for my sons Queens Football career. Josh is professional , a natural role model and is team of trainers won't disappoint. I highly recommend UFIT for all your personal training needs"

- Darren Keuhl - Kingston Police (Retired)

“Josh being a former pro-athlete has a such a huge knowledge base and appreciation for getting people to their fitness goals. Josh keeps us accountable as well as realistic in goal attainment, and especially knows how to stimulate competition between Dale and I, which we specifically ask for and love! Not only does he push us physically in our workouts, he also educates us on our programs and why we are doing them. Josh is a very involved trainer who walks into the gym every morning with a big smile and greeting and he also wants to know what’s going on in our lives, outside of gym activity. Neither of us have ever walked into the gym and felt intimidated or out of place because he facilitates a community vibe that we have yet to experience at other gyms among its member and trainers."

- Tessa & Dale

"UFIT is the perfect gym to balance rehabilitation from an injury and progressing in one’s fitness journey. They have certified strength and conditioning specialists and kinesiologists who perfect this balance. Would highly recommend this gym!!!”

- Marni Lawson

"Highly recommend UFIT. I’m not really a gym person but I absolutely love the fitness classes offered here. Such a great community of people."

- Audrey-Ann Freeman

“Those morning strength classes are top level workouts! My new favourite way to start the day :)"

- Mel Galaviz

"This family run establishment is second to none. Friendly knowledgeable staff that help me hit my goals in a private setting. I love it!"

- Kristian Vincent

"I've been thoroughly enjoying my experience at UFIT as a semi-private client. The flexibility of their scheduling, customized programming, and overall gym atmosphere has made my fitness journey incredibly fulfilling. I came to UFIT for personal training but jumped at the opportunity to try semi-private because of the convenience in scheduling. Working closely with a trainer is important to me. I like accountability, applied knowledge, and personalized programming. However, with my crazy schedule, I often had conflicts and found myself less reliable in committing to PT. Semi-private has more flexibility with my needs when it comes to scheduling without sacrificing personalization and getting results. Every trainer is motivating and insightful, so I get to enjoy working with different trainers to learn their tips and best practices. I would recommend semi-private at UFIT for anyone who is committed to their health and fitness but might find a regimented schedule difficult to adhere to. Thank you, UFIT!"

- Jolisa Masucol

“Hands down amazing and life changing!
For years I jumped from gym to gym, not knowing what I’m doing, going in overwhelmed and made excuses to even go because I was so overwhelmed by the gym experience. UFIT semi-private training has changed me! I go in and I don’t have to think! All the trainers are so nice, personable and caring. They go beyond! Anytime I have a question or need help they’re right there showing me and encouraging me on. I love that I can work at my own pace. I sweat everytime and know I’ve pushed myself to a better lifestyle. I went into it knowing nothing about technique and working out...NOTHING. The Knowledge they’ve given me makes me so confident! Thank you to all the wonderful staff at UFIT! You don’t know how much you’ve helped me physically and mentally!"

- Maria McKegney

"I've been training with Collin for a few months now and I cannot say enough amazing things about the experience with him and the staff at UFIT. I'm regaining abdominal strength that I lost after bearing twins, I'm building muscle that I never had before and my overall health has improved. I see Collin 3x weekly and really enjoy our one-on-one training sessions; Collin is highly educated, professional, hilarious and extremely kind. He takes both physical and mental health seriously and I respect him for his knowledge in both fields. Thank you, Collin and everyone at UFIT for welcoming me into the gym with open arms."

- Laura Simpson

"UFIT is the best! They push you to your physical limits and offer a friendly, fun, and supportive environment to get a great workout in every time. UFIT is so much more than a gym and they treat everyone like family and give back to their community constantly. I’m so grateful to have found UFIT, who has pushed me to be in the best shape of my life! They offer many options for classes and training methods, so everyone can find a time/ class / workout option that works for them and their schedule."

- Mellissa Hennessy-Lake

"The UFIT team is always paying attention to the little details. Working through injuries or improving your posture through fitness, these folks take their time and do it right. Thank you!"

- Niel Baker

"I’ve been training at UFIT since September 2023 - from my initial contact I’ve always found the team and environment to be friendly and welcoming. I’ve especially enjoyed working with Tyler who is not only a great trainer but a terrific person. If your considering personal training UFIT is definitely a place worth visiting"

- Sean Brophy

"I have been a member of UFIT now for almost one year and l am definitely in better shape both physically and mentally. I tried working out solo for many years but lacked motivation. Collin and UFIT have helped me through this and l am extremely grateful.

Plus, being in good shape has its benefits:

I had an incident with my boat recently. It began taking on water and we were quite a ways from shore. Without power, l had to wrap the front line around me and swim and tow the boat to shore before it sank. Without my physical training with Collin, the boat and myself could have been much worse off.

Thank you UFIT and it's amazing staff!"

- Brian Christmas

"About three years ago, I walked into UFIT hoping to lose a few pounds. Little did I know, I’d gain a whole gym family instead! The staff here are so amazing and accepting that they somehow manage to make burpees bearable (well… almost). I’ve tried nearly everything they offer - group classes, private sessions and now their new semi-private program. Each one is fantastic in its own way. If you’re looking for a place where the workouts are tough, but so good you’ll be willing to wake up at the crack of dawn, this is it!"

- Elizabeth Guertin

"Such a welcoming family business! I love the vibe! Trainers are energetic, helpful and mindful to your personal movements! VERY clean!"



- Sabrina Arcand

"To say I have enjoyed my time at UFIT is a vast understatement. I began the semi-private training regiment in hopes of getting myself in shape over the summer and building knowledge that I could carry forward come the Fall and workout at my school after hours. What I didn't expect was how much I would enjoy the UFIT culture and expertise the staff have. A lot of gyms will claim to have a judgement free environment, but they are empty words. UFIT, embodies it. To be honest, I have always been self-conscious of working out. At UFIT, everyone is working on a program that has been tailored for them and more specifically their body. Instead of feeling judged by individuals you work around, you appreciate and are inspired by the effort they are giving, which intrinsically pushes you to achieve your best. No one is simply there for show. The staff are amazing. It took only six sessions before I knew all the staff members and they knew me by name. Incredibly welcoming and encouraging, matching what each client needs. In addition, the staff build genuine two-way rapport. Regardless of who is supervising the semi-private, I feel confident and am at ease to talk with them. They have gotten to know me and are open and friendly for you to get to know them, building that confidence. 

The expertise that each trainer has is remarkable. They are not simply pulling from a generic bank. Every exercise, every movement has a purpose. Body isn't feeling a movement? No problem, they have an alternative ready to go. I struggled, for example, with hinging, they helped cue my body to do it over a couple of weeks through a collection of progressive movements. At the start of each workout you have a stretching regiment, which honestly for someone who drives 1000 km a week was worth the price. Each time a staff member checks in on you, asks how you are feeling. One day my knee was bugging me. With genuine care Josh examined and suggested an exercise to help work it out. Furthermore, I was debating at home whether to just call it. But the semi-private held me accountable. I showed up. What would have been otherwise a obstacle turned barrier, became a quick stretch and ready to workout. 

This gym has a lot going for it and its members. It has classes, to which I can't speak on, as they operate during different hours. You are never seeking a trainer for help. For myself, a personal trainer is too much for me. Having an individual watching every movement is something I feel would be awkward for me personally. The semi-private, I am getting the benefit of a personal trainer but without someone constantly watching every move. But at the same time just a second away to correct my form, seek advice, or have a quick chat as you gasp for air. I'm still working on the cardio bit. 

The facility is immaculate and incredibly well stocked. Each time slot is capped so that there aren't too many people present. Ensuring one, you are never looking for some place to workout and two the staff are able to be there for you without being overwhelmed. It's a perfect balance. It is better stocked than any gym I have ever encountered. I don't think it is possible to be looking for a certain weight, band, bar, slider, cardio equipment, you name it, that is in use. It is incredibly impressive and spotless. 

At the beginning, I mentioned that I was expecting to workout for two months and then workout at my school. That isn't the case now. I am going to be continuing this throughout the school year and beyond. My body, my mental well-being, and my productivity will be better off for it.

UFIT is the pinnacle of what personal fitness is supposed to be and I am grateful for everything they do."

- Paul Hewitt

"Joining UFIT has been one of the best decisions we've ever made! From the moment we walked through the doors in 2017 as a middle-aged dad and an athletic daughter in her early teens, we felt welcomed and supported by the amazing staff. Our personal trainer, Josh Maveety, is incredibly knowledgeable, motivating, and genuinely cares about our progress. Josh’s extensive expertise enables him to assess and craft customized work-outs for each of us that are challenging, yet achievable. We've seen a huge improvement in our strength, endurance, overall health, and quality of life while gaining the understanding of how to train properly and safely. Our engaging UFIT workout sessions are always highlights of the week. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned athlete, UFIT has everything you need to reach your fitness goals. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a positive, results-driven gym experience!

Thank you for welcoming us into the UFIT family!"

“I was a little worried about starting at the gym, but I can now confidently say working with Collin was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I’ve always struggled with consistency, but Collin made my experience so fun and interesting I was always excited to go back. He tailored our workouts to my specific needs and interests and always adapted his plans when I wanted to try something new. He is extremely knowledgeable about everything to do with fitness and can even explain the science behind why specific exercises are beneficial. I saw great progress while working with him and I really can’t recommend him enough. He is beyond qualified, helpful, very kind, and fun to be around. I am only stopping my training at UFIT because I am moving but I will miss Collin both as a friend and as a trainer; you’d be foolish not to work with him!” 

- Lily Crumo

"I joined UFIT in November 2022, after a period of being out of my normal fitness routine during the pandemic. Working from home and neglecting my exercise regimen left me with persistant joint pain and a noticeable decline in my fitness. That’s when I met Emily, and my journey to reclaim my fitness began.

From our first meeting, Emily was attentive and truly listened to my concerns and goals. Her ability to understand and align my fitness needs with a personalized routine was impressive. She has an exceptional blend of knowledge and encouragement that pushed me to reach my goals while ensuring I stayed injury-free.

Thanks to Emily, I have regained my confidence, improved my strength, and increased my flexibility. Her support has been instrumental in my transformation. Additionally, Emily introduced me to Andrea, another client at UFIT, and we now train together in a semi-private setting. This arrangement has not only been more economical but has also been a fantastic motivator.

I couldn’t have achieved these results without Emily’s dedication and expertise. If you’re looking for a trainer who genuinely cares about your progress and well-being, Emily is the one."

- Patti Evaristo

"Moved to Kingston desperate to find group classes. Tried a ton before finally finding UFIT, and can say without a doubt they are the best in the city! Tyler's group fitness classes are awesome - he's always willing to help you modify without judgement or help push you when you need it! You immediately feel like apart of the community the first time you enter the doors!"

- Leila Makar

"I was first referred to UFIT about 8 years ago, after sustaining a significant back injury. I had been exercising for years either at home or at a public gym and I was nervous to get moving again without support or direction. I started with personal training sessions and within a few months I felt stronger than I did prior to my injury. I never had to miss a session due to pain as my trainer was able to adapt my workout and meet me where I was each day. 

For the last few years now, I have been doing 2-3 strength sessions a week with HIIT classes whenever I can. It is a healthy, positive fun environment where anyone can feel at ease. 

My daughter needed rehab and strength training after her back surgery last year and I knew that she was in safe hands with Angus. Knowing his background, his education and his upbeat personality, he is absolutely the right person to train her. She has now been training with Angus twice a week and is making tremendous progress and always looks forwards to her sessions. 

UFIT is the right fit for anyone who wants a change, wants results, has any kind of injury or pain or just wants to get better and meet some great people along the way."
