The secret’s officially out. 👀

BODIESBYPHIL DOWNTOWN IS GETTING A BIGASS UPGRADE.

We’re taking over the space next door and expanding from 2,293 sq ft → 4,164 sq ft.

That’s 82% MORE BBP. 🤯

What are we doing with all that room?

🏋️ Bigger gym floor
💪 More space for barbell work
🚴 More Assault Bikes, SkiErgs, rowers & equipment
🚪 A separate private personal training studio
🚿 Bigger changerooms + SHOWERS

We’ve officially outgrown our little Downtown home — and that’s entirely because of the ridiculous community that’s been built inside it.

So… we’re knocking down some walls and making more fu***ng room. 😂

BIGGER. SHINIER. BETTERER.

Coming 2027. 🧡

🏆 2026 SUNS OUT GUNS OUT – Best Transformation Winner 🏆

A huge congratulations to Chrissy Taylor, our winner of this year’s $1,000 Best Transformation Prize! 💰

Over the course of just 6 weeks, Chrissy:
💪 Lost 12 lbs
🏋️ Built strength
🔥 Improved body composition
👏 Showed up consistently and trusted the process

This transformation didn’t happen because of a magic workout or a miracle diet.

It happened because they kept showing up.

The scale is only part of the story. The real win is the habits, consistency, and confidence that were built over the past 6 weeks.

Congratulations again, Chrissy! Enjoy your well-earned $1,000! 🎉

And to everyone who participated in SOGO this year—thank you for making it such an incredible challenge. We couldn’t be more proud of what this community accomplished. ❤️

💍❤️ This is what community looks like.

Our coach Krysta is getting married this Friday, and without being asked, our members came together to organize a surprise celebration for her. A custom card signed by dozens of people, a cash gift, wedding attire during classes, and a whole lot of love.

As gym owners and coaches, we spend so much time hoping we’re creating something bigger than workouts. Moments like this remind us that we are.

The bond between our members and coaches is something truly special, and we’re incredibly proud of the community that’s been built here.

Congratulations, Krysta. We couldn’t be happier for you. ❤️ Krysta Andovic

Shoutout to Chrissy Taylor for organizing everything!

Big cheque energy 💸

In 2025, our Friday donation classes raised $3,930 for the Canadian Cancer Society 🙌

Every Friday at 5:15pm, people show up, throw down a workout, and somehow turn sweat into something that actually matters.

This went toward their Wheels of Hope program — helping people get to and from cancer treatments when they need it most. Simple idea, massive impact.

For 2026, we’re proud to support the Ottawa Coalition to End Violence Against Women — working to support survivors and end violence against women through advocacy, education, and community programs.

Same Friday class. Bigger impact.
Come sweat. Do some good.
