I saw an ad on Facebook about a 6 week challenge and clicked. They immediately contacted me and set up a consultation. My goals and lifestyle was evaluated. Then...DUH DUH DUUNNNN...I dove in. There's three staff memebers I'm familiar with. One is a cheerleader for me and gives me encouragement. One is the one I can go to for any and every question. Then there's coach. The endurance classes are extremely intense (especially for somebody like me who had no athletic inclination at all). But he is super knowledgeable of not only workouts but he also makes sure that we use proper body mechanics. Although the sessions can be somewhat large and there are many different levels of fitness that the participants have, the coach seems to be able to assess each individual and not let them do more than they are capable and of. This isn't to say that you'll get a pass or anything, but you won't be pushed so hard that you injure yourself. You workout at the level that is just a little past your comfort zone. The other participants also encourage one another regardless of where you are at on your journey, which helps the sessions be more personal. The only complaint I would have (which is not really a complaint), is that the coach had this sadistic laugh, which would infiltrate my dreams after a session. Thanks coach! All in all this is the worst PE class (in a good way) that you could spend your money on. read more

I have been going to Ape Arena for a month now and I have completely fallen in love. I'm such a fan that I tell everyone that they have to try it out. I first signed up for the air yoga but I quickly became a regular, attending multiple classes 5-6 days a week. The classes are not for the faint of heart. Expect to get a great workout, expect to sweat, expect to be sore but most importantly expect results and expect to gain a great support system within this gym. Jessica and Coach are awesome, they have created such a great atmosphere. Everyone is friendly and supportive, it quickly feels like a second home. I started bringing my son to the kid's fun camp a couple weeks ago and he loves it. Once again Jessica and Coach do such a great job of creating camaraderie among the kids, they all encourage each other throughout the class. This is so important to the physical, mental and social growth of our kids. I'm so happy I found this gem (pun intended) in Ontario. read more

Staff also is very amazing and also motivating! I wouldn't of been able to do it on my own , I'm very happy and grateful that I'm part of this family. read more

I have Chris as a personal trainer. They gave me a meal plan on what foods I needed to eat in order for me to gain weight. My whole life I've been struggling with gaining weight. I remember the first day that I work out with him, it was challenging because I am a girl that does not like to workout. Chris is a knowledgeable guy, because he explains what muscles you are targeting when you are doing an exercise. Having him as a personal trainer its fun. As time passes you see start to see the results. For example, you start to see that you are lifting heavier. In the FIRST SIX WEEKS, I gain seven pounds of muscle, IN ONLY SIX WEEKS. This shows that their workout program that they design for you TRULY WORKS. I would recommend Chris and Jessica for people like me that struggle gaining weight or anyone that wants to see changes in their bodies.They know what they are doing, plus they are friendly and nice. read more

I'm coming up on my 6th week here, and I absolutely love it. Ape Arena has given me the structure I needed to really kick my ass into shape and learn how to exercise in a way that doesn't just build muscle or burn fat, but strengthens my entire body in ways that are functional. I'd give them 6 stars if I could, because I've learned so much and my life has been completely changed. I have a weigh in today, but even as early as 3 weeks ago, I was down 11lbs, making huge gains on my legs, and dropped 3" from my upper abdominal area. I'm down two belt sizes, I'm sleeping better, and I just all around feel like a new man. Best of all though is the family environment. It's impossible to not feel appreciated and welcomed. This isn't just a workout group or a gym, it's a family. read more

Okay so now that the six week challenge is up time to update. First and foremost I want to thank Chris and Jessica for working with my lady and I it was a great experience. Second I want to thank Karina for being our accountability couch and answering any questions we had through it all. I love the program it really does push you to reach that next level.Not only that but I was able to get past my 190 pound hump that I couldn't get past working harder and getting great results. If you are looking to sign up think REALLY HARD on two things 1: Are you prepared to put in the time and effort. 2: Is this program really for me? If you can answer those two questions honestly with a yes then I would say what do you have to lose.? read more

I made it through the 6 week challenge!!... I was mentally, emotionally and physically challenged and I loved it. If you feel like your life is stagnant and you need a zing I recommend you get off your couch and come on out and be a party of this supportive family. They push you, they teach you, and join in your achievements and understand your wows. This program will make you want to get up in the mornings and be a better version of yourself! Do it for you, I can give you all this philosophical talk, but until you experience it yourself will you truly understand. If I survived I'm sure you can too! P.S. It works, I lost weight and gained muscles :D expect results. read more

I've been training at ape arena for about 9 weeks now and I've never seen better results. I've tried other training programs and countless time exercising on my own but I haven't felt as good as I do now until this. The excersizes are different everyday which I appreciate extremely because I never know what to expect and it makes it that much harder to get bored with the routine of things. On top of that it is so welcoming, all the veterans help the newbies which makes it that much more enjoyable. If your looking for a tough but doable workout where everyone makes you feel welcome no matter what level you are then ape arena is definatly for you!! read more

At age 64 i decided to signed up for the 6 weeks program having NEVER really been part of a regular exercise program. This program kicked the royal crap out of me, but its was interesting and addictive. The class are different everyday and the coaches paid attention to me, point out mistakes I was making and showing the correct method. I could tell that body was changing just from the looseness of my clothing. Now that my 6 weeks are up, I can see and feel the results, only logical thing to do was continue training, i am in for the long haul. If a 64 year old guys can do it so can you. read more

Ape Arena is the best gym I've ever been too! My strength has incrised tremendously in months. I've been training with Chris and Jessi for over a year now, they are both experienced and committed trainers. I enjoy the variety and challenge they put into the sessions. Chris is focused on helping me achieve my goals, my fitness has increased noticeably and I look forward to the workouts. Air yoga is my favorite class, it keeps me sane. I was so intimidated by the hammocks but after trying one class, I was hooked!!! Thank you Ape for keeping me motivated to reach my fitness goal. read more

I've been a member of the Ape family since June and not really knowing what I was getting in to I'm really glad that I did. The workouts are intense and with great variation. The atmosphere is very motivating and full of other members of all skill levels helping each other so that everyone gives their all in each workout. The coaches, Chris and Jessie, take the time to create these workouts for us and their knowledge shows every time. Most importantly they make Ape Arena more than an average gym and I look forward to my next class. read more

Ape Arena is a small, neighborhood gym with a great, down-to-earth vibe. The coaches are all great and truly embody the principles they're trying to instill in their members. I'm a 46 y/o, mother, teacher, and student. My life is hectic and I dont make time for things that don't add value to my life but I have averaged 3 workouts a week since I started 8 weeks ago. That speaks volumes of Ape Arena and the results they're helping me achieve. I plan to continue with them indefinitely. read more
