“Jackie's Athletic Conditioning System is an incredibly efficient way to gain strength and improve cardiovascular capacity. Not only have I been able to improve my overall athletic ability by joining the Studio, but I also made a lot of new friends! There is an amazing sense of community at the Studio (including outdoor activities on the weekends such as hikes).”

“I moved to Ottawa in the summer of 2019 for school. I didn’t know anybody and was starting life in a new City which was a little daunting. I had played sports growing up and while in University, so I knew that I wanted a community feel in my gym experience. I had tried other gyms in the past but hated being just another face in the crowd. Jackie was so warm and welcoming from day 1 without sacrificing any discipline or dedication to her clients. She was amazing at pushing us to be stronger while also being such a positive energy in the studio. She knows every client by name and will helpfully call you out if you have been absent for one too many sessions!”

“When the pandemic hit, Jackie immediately understood that people still needed the gym both for our physical and mental health. Almost overnight, she seamlessly transitioned from fully in person to offering virtual classes and either facilitating kettlebell purchases or personally loaning us equipment. Having a gym to go to virtually helped me so much during lockdown and helped me have some element of normalcy in my life. Once things started opening back up, Jackie still offered a hybrid model understanding that many people still work from home. Most of the classes I go to are from home now which has been so helpful when I can’t be there in person.“

“Jackie genuinely cares about her clients and is only ever encouraging. I have never once felt bad about myself in any of her classes. She is great with any level of athlete whether you’ve been training for years or have never set foot in a gym. Regardless of your fitness background, Jackie makes it clear that everyone is welcome, and everyone can get stronger. Thanks, Jackie!”

“Jackie has transformed my body! I am so much stronger than just 3 months ago. I was a runner before I joined this studio and I had frequent back and knee pain. I didn't know that the solution to my pain was to do strength training, not just any training, Jackie's carefully curated kettlebell classes. I have never done kettlebell training before and I was hesitant but Jackie knows exactly what each person needs and she modifies her lessons if need be. She actually cares for her students and pushes them in the best way possible! Her virtual classes are equally beneficial. If you want to get toned and strong, this is the place to be. The price is soo worth it as well. In addition to physical benefits, I have gained an awesome community and found great friends!”

“If you want your butt kicked in a friendly, clean, non threatening environment, Jackie the owner of FFS, is a professional trainer who is passionate about kettlebell training and knows how to encourage you in order that you can become more fit.”

“I have been going to Fitness Fusion since 2020. I found JACs classes during the pandemic and I was able to find a true hobby in kettlebell training while in my living room. I initially joined fitness fusion to become healthier and lose weight. I have lost over 30 pounds since I started but aside from that, Kettlebell training has literally changed my body in ways I could never do on my own and day-to-day life feels easier.

“Now that we have the option to come back to the studio I have had the chance to finally meet the community I became a part of online, and I can honestly say everyone I have met is kind, welcoming and supportive. Not only is the community at Fitness Fusion full of amazing people, I have never been to a class that was easy. Jackie always makes sure workouts are tough but keeps them exciting and fun. After over 2 years, and many classes, I still continue to learn new techniques. Having the support of Jackie, and the community I am always pushing myself to get stronger and I look forward to every workout.”

“I wanted to expand my knowledge on kettlebell training, learn new movements and build more functional fitness. I tried the 8 week program planning on incorporating what I learned in my own workouts. I ended up becoming hooked on going to these classes and signed up for a whole year! I have been doing this for over 5 months now and I still feel like I am learning more and getting stronger towards my overall potential. Jackie will push you to your limits. She understands everyone's strengths and will make sure you make the most of every workout. I highly recommend trying it out if you are even curious.”

“I've been going to FFS off and on for 9 years. Everytime I fall off the wagon Jackie is always there to pick me back up and motivate me to be my best self which is when I'm consistently kettlebell training. Kettlebells is a full body, calorie burning workout that's addictive! It makes me feel strong and confident. I even continued to practice KBs throughout pregnancy which kept me strong for childbirth and helped me recover faster. Fitness Fusion Studio isn't just any gym, it's a lifestyle, a community of people to hold you accountable and encourage you to keep going. I love my gym family! Thanks Jackie for being who you are and doing what you do!”

“I highly recommend the Fitness Fusion Studio and the kettlebell training classes taught by Jackie, the owner, who has been in business for a long time and knows her trade incredibly well. Kettlebell training definitely helped me to get into shape, lose weight and increase my body strength and mobility all over. Jackie is a talented teacher who will keep you motivated and will carefully teach you all the moves so you get to properly do the exercises without hurting yourself. I would have never believed that I could, with kettlebell training, lift the heavy weights I now lift. My lunges are much deeper than before, my cardio capacity has significantly increased and I feel healthy and empowered.”

“We work hard but we also have a lot of fun during the classes. The community of people who take the classes is fantastic. Although we come from different walks of life, we are like-minded in our committment to health and exercise. We go for walks together, have potlucks together and laugh together. We all encourage each other and support each other. No one has attitude or is judgemental. Try it. You'll love it.”

“As a complete beginner to the studio and kettlebell training, I wasn’t sure what I was getting myself into when I joined the Fitness Fusion Studio less than a month ago. I am so glad I decided to go for it. Jackie and other studio members were so kind and welcoming. The atmosphere at the studio is positive and 100% judgment free. The kettlebell classes are very intense and continue to kick my butt every single time, but within four short weeks I am already so much stronger, mentally and physically. Training at the Fitness Fusion Studio feels like personal training within a group. Jackie is a fantastic coach and pushes me past what I thought were my limits and believes in me and my abilities and strength even when I don’t believe in myself. I would 100% recommend the Fitness Fusion Studio to anyone willing to put in the time and work!”

“I started kettlebell training with Jackie during the pandemic and have continued training 3 times a week online since. Jackie is great! She is super attentive and motivating. The workouts are intense but fun. They have a good balance of skill, strength training, and movement. You won’t be bored, and you’ll sweat, get toned, be stronger, have more energy, and improve your overall cardiovascular health. For those who work from home or those who prefer to work out at home, it’s a great way to stay in shape. Thanks, Jackie, for offering excellent kettlebell training online! I love it!”

“After spending years at regular gyms, I achieved better results in less time at Fitness Fusion Studio. Jackie inspired my confidence, and she helped me discover the athlete in me that I never knew. Her kind, intuitive energy always makes you feel welcome. She helped me build a better attitude while I retrained my body through consistent, constructive feedback and encouragement. This studio has exceptional instructors; whose knowledge embodies personal growth in each class, especially the kettlebells program. Their workouts are a blast, but they're certainly challenging! I definitely recommend this studio!”

“Although my primary goal was to build strength, I had the nice bonus of also losing 7 centimeters off my waistline after 4 weeks into the JACS 1 kettlebell training program.”

“Jackie has totally changed how I feel about working out. She makes it fun and I am always looking forward to my next workout. When I miss a workout, it feels like I'm missing out. Jackie allowed me to do a test run of the classes, and after just a few I was hooked. She makes sure that everyone is doing the exercises properly and pushing us to do what we can, not just what we think we can. She really loves her work and it shows, she cares about her members and routinely checks in. She adapts exercises for various skill levels all while teaching full classes and being attentive to everyone.”

“Fitness, community, excellence. Jackie’s expertise and guidance creates a class of trust and intensity that is hard to find. Starting as a beginner to the world of kettlebell, Jackie continues to lead me along to mastering techniques and pushing my limits. I love her cycles of endurance, strength and power training. There’s space at her gym to maintain fitness or to push your limits. I feel so proud of myself and full of gratitude for Jackie and her commitment for seeing where we can go and pushing for our best. As a side, with a broad range of clients, don’t be surprised at spontaneous outings, and hikes. Jackie has attracted and fostered a beautiful and exceptional community.”

“On searching for a kettlebell class in Ottawa I was lucky enough to find Jackie. Jackie’s enthusiasm and dedication to ensuring we all make progress in a safe and secure environment is second to none. She continually makes sure we push ourselves and as a result gain strength and stamina. Outside of the kettlebell element there is a true sense of community. It truly is a welcoming experience for all levels. A place to meet wonderful people and get a full body aerobic and anaerobic workout.”

“It's never easy to find a fitness center you'd thoroughly enjoy, especially when you are new to the city. Luckily for me, I tried Fitness Fusion as it was close to my house and I have never looked back. Jackie and the other instructors are dedicated and care about our development. This kettlebell studio works well for people of all fitness levels and has an amazing atmosphere!”

“I first tried Jackie's kettlebells classes at her studio in early 2020. When many options for maintaining fitness disappeared during the pandemic, I was grateful when she switched to an on-line format. Similar to being in the studio, Jackie checks and critiques form on-line to ensure we're doing the moves properly. The popularity of both her in-person and virtual classes is evident.”

“While kettlebells are the studio’s flagship classes, I also recommend the other classes that help build a stronger foundation for kettlebells. In particular, Meghan, the instructor for HIIT is enthusiastic and wonderful too. Jackie’s All about Arms and Building a Better Butt cause me soreness, in a good way, after each class so I know something must be working. Jackie’s enthusiasm, quality of instruction, her ability to give equal attention to on-line participants, along with the benefit of zero commute time to join a class are, without a doubt, key reasons why I recommend the Fitness Fusion Studio.”
