What members say about KeepFit HQ
KeepFit HQ is a small-group fitness studio at 42 King St E in downtown Bowmanville, Ontario, serving Clarington, Courtice, Newcastle and Oshawa. Classes cap at 10–12 people, so every workout is coached and modified in the room. Below are real Google reviews, grouped by the questions people ask most before their first class.
Is KeepFit HQ a good fit if you don't consider yourself a "gym person"?
“I've never been someone who particularly enjoys working out — but I always look forward to my time at KeepFit HQ. It's such a fun and friendly atmosphere and the workouts are the best I've done. The coaches are so knowledgeable, helpful and quick to suggest a modification if needed without judgement. The community is full of the most supportive, fun, lovely people.”
“From the moment I joined KeepFit HQ, I felt genuinely welcomed. Unlike big box gyms, the trainers here take the time to guide you, help with form, and celebrate your progress. The smaller, more personal environment creates accountability, confidence, and consistency that I never found in traditional gyms.”
How is small-group training different from a regular gym membership?
“Best workout class I've ever done! Phenomenal workout and the small group atmosphere at HQ makes every workout such a personalized experience! Like personal training but at a fraction of the cost.”
“Love the community. Love the trainers. Love coming in for a workout and not having to plan it myself. They show modified versions of workouts to accommodate injuries or different athletic levels. And it's always a good time with a couple of laughs. I walk away feeling stronger.”
Can you train at KeepFit HQ with an injury or physical limitation?
“As someone with a permanent nerve injury this has been the first place outside of physio where I truly felt fully supported to workout within my abilities. Each and every trainer has been lovely and without judgement they helped me modify workouts within my limits that also help me progress physically at the same time.”
“Such an amazing gym with the best trainers. The environment is so friendly and supportive. They provide modifications each workout for injuries as well as for prenatal and postnatal needs!”
Is KeepFit HQ good for prenatal, postpartum, and mom-and-baby workouts?
“I've been attending the mom and tot workouts with Jeenie at KeepFit HQ and I can't say enough good things! The atmosphere at the studio is so welcoming and supportive. Jeenie is amazing — she gives personalized cues to everyone and makes sure you feel confident and safe throughout the workout. The classes are super fun, efficient, and a great way to move your body with your little ones in tow.”
“Jeenie and the staff at KeepFit HQ are super knowledgeable, create a welcoming environment and an enjoyable workout! I have done two parent tot sessions now and it has been a great way to guarantee a weekly workout. The workouts have not only helped with my post partum recovery but also with an improvement in overall strength. I would 100% recommend!”
“Love KeepFit HQ in Bowmanville! I joined newly postpartum and have had a great recovery (which I credit this place for). I love the smaller class sizes and flexible scheduling, with early mornings, evenings and weekend options — great for a busy mom!”
What are the coaches at KeepFit HQ like?
“The coaches are absolutely incredible. They are knowledgeable, attentive, and deeply invested in helping you succeed. They take the time to ensure proper form, offer modifications when needed, and consistently motivate you to push past your limits in the best way possible.”
