CrossFit Actuate

Kim offers modifications to help meet you where you are, carefully adjusting exercises so they fit your current level without feeling overwhelmed. She brings an energy to every session at CrossFit Actuate that fills the room, combined with lots of motivation that pushes you to work harder than you thought possible. I have noticed a difference in my own strength - movements, such as those up downs that once felt challenging now feel a little more controlled and less difficult with each session.

Such a fun and motivating class. Lots of scaling options which was definitely needed!

Katie Edwards is a terrific coach. We’re very lucky to have her expertise in rowing at CrossFit. I never want to miss a morning class and I’ve learned a tremendous amount. I just want to improve little by little, and with Katie’s coaching, I feel as though I can.

Great class and coaching. Constructive feedback. Excellent demonstrations

Alison always motivates each individual athlete by calling out specific strengths and encouraging us to push a little further every time. She makes everyone feel seen by remembering your name, checking your form closely, and offering helpful adjustments during the workout. Her energy is contagious, and I always leave her classes feeling stronger and more confident. I love attending her classes at CrossFit Actuate because the workouts are challenging but doable, and Alison creates an atmosphere where you know your effort matters. It’s clear she genuinely cares about each person’s progress, which makes showing up something I look forward to every week.

Great fella. Very knowledgeable. I can tell he is passionate. No complaints. Happy to have him as a coach

It was intense, but I did enjoy it. Jack was patient with me trying to explain everything. I really appreciated that

A challenging named workout. The combination of moves tested my endurance. Motivated to see it again to improve. John motivated the class to keep us working hard throughout the entire session at CrossFit Actuate He always checks in with everyone, noticing when someone needs a little extra encouragement or a slight adjustment to their form.

Alison was amazing , took her time with teaching everyone at their own pace until everyone understood and got it. Herself and Damon worked really well together as well. Super excited for my next class with Alison

It was a great class! The on ramp was experience is great so far!

Positive reinforcement is very motivating. Great/helpful and clear technical feedback

Coaching is excellent, informative, eye 4 detail, good Feedback, encouraging environment.. I always enjoy comming to the gym.. feel welcome and great coaching

Great crew, Great staff, better workouts. Thanks you, Thomas

Tiffany is always helpful when coaching on technique and giving positive feedback during class. She is very encouraging during a workout by complimenting my technique and motivating me to keep going. I always feel mentally and physically better after a workout with Tiffany!

It was intense but I had fun and felt supported throughout the workout! Even when the exercises pushed me to my limits, the encouragement and guidance made it feel manageable and motivating. I left feeling challenged but energized, which is exactly what I was hoping for!

How did the coach help you today? Motivation and tips on how to improve my back squat!

It went well I like how the class Was split up into two groups for space during the workout

I loved the class! Emily explained the routine very well and she showed us each exercise while giving options as to how to perform them My favourite part was when she corrected my form. Well done Emily!!!

Very cognizant of potential for back injuries for this workout and monitored everyone closely. Appreciated this!

Damon, as always, is very welcoming, positive, so knowledgeable, great points of performance and encouraging! He gives great feedback as well and I always feel like I’ve learned something new about technique 😊

Great class. Energetic , informative , and well run !

Allison was great. Unfortunately I had to leave early. I had forgotten about a prior commitment.

Excellant coach. Explained workout very well. Encouraging

Kim was extremely knowledgeable. Excellent explanations. Very encouraging to all. Cheering us on!! Totally enjoyed today’s class.

Kim did a great job at meeting me where I'm currently at in my exercise journey. She recognized that I was experiencing knee pain and helped me make adjustments to continue the workout while not causing pain. She also did a great job at explaining which areas of the body to activate while doing each skill. For example, reminding the group to activate the shoulder blades during push-ups, activating glutes when doing a superman hold, and drawing down the rob cage to activate the abdominal muscles when doing core/dead-bug workout. Kim also creates an encouraging atmosphere and makes me push myself to work hard every class. Thanks Kim!!

Kim made the atmosphere welcoming. Instructions and demonstrations were clear and individual attention was given when necessary. It was a good class!

Kim made me feel welcome and comfortable joining in!

Really loved the class with Kim today! I told her it was my first time back in the gym in over a year and she was very encouraging and didn’t put too much pressure on the class. Appreciate that! The class was super challenging and she gave great instruction and reminders on form throughout. It’s tough to squeeze it all in to an hour but if there is any room for a cool down or even a suggested cool down/stretch in the other room that may be welcomed :) so looking forward to getting back into it!

She takes time to explain and demonstrate each exercise! It is an excellent reminder of how to try to do it right!

I always love when Kim coaches. She is an excellent instructor, and very enthusiastic. She checks in before class and genuinely cares about everyone.

Super fun class!

Solid as always

We all love Emily @ Legands class ! She’s constantly showing us techniques to improve our workouts ! Love her music ! Keeps us working hard ! Thanks coach Emily

Damon is one of the best coaches ever. He gives clear instructions and he helps me scale according to my abilities. He makes sure I don’t hurt myself. Top points.

Damon is a very welcoming, patient and encouraging coach. Throughout the workout he continued to check in with me and provide feedback and made sure I was doing the skills correctly. His positivity and encouragement was greatly appreciated!

Great! I always love Katie’s rowing classes. I am learning how to row effectively with the group.

Damon is an incredible coach and motivator, he always checks in with everyone throughout the class and gives helpful tips and suggestions for improvement!

She’s hands on and there to help! Offers alternative workouts if the prescribed ones are not suitable

Im still personally having a hard time remembering the motions of a move or stretching and kali today and as well as all the other coaches notice and correct me, witch Im happy for bc sometimes I dont feel like im doing a task right. And today encouraging me to go heavier with the KB farmer carry. Told me my hands should feel like theyre about to fall off, witch they did. Felt the burn, thanks again !

He walked me through each step and helped me modify the workout to my strengths

As always, Damon did excellent. He was kind, friendly and also very technical with good feedback. He’s most certainly one of the best at Actuate. Always looking to bring up the spirits of everyone in the gym making the experience positive for all.

It was great. Super helpful and very encouraging!

clear instructions on planned workout regular individual feedback with helpful suggestions very motivating group coaching

Damon is a total gem. He’s one of my favourite people, not only at the gym but in the community. I can’t say enough about him as a person and as a coach. i learn something from him every time I go to class. Thank you, Damon.!!

Enthusiastic, patient. Not only very knowledgeable but an exceptional commicator, while demonstrating techniques

Damon encouraged me to push myself and offered variations that allowed me to best achieve a dynamic workout. Appreciative of his kindness and expertise!

Great class. Great instruction

Damon was very kind, helpful and attentive to every individual during the workout!

Megan broke down the workout, provided time for questions, and cued her athletes throughout the class.

Damon is a very good motivator, He explaine the movement clearly and Giving feedback every after training.

Ria is a great coach! I always enjoy attending her classes.

Ria is always great to help me figure out ways to scale so I can get the most out of my workouts:)

Damon was really great! Went through all the technical pieces in great detail but kept the pace going.

Kim gave me great tips on points of performance for my thrusters! Very helpful!

It was a great workout!! It was tough but Ria did a great job explaining the movements and possible variations.

10/10 coach, very pretty. Bit of a stickler for the dress code

Megan was thorough in her explanations, ensuring everyone had the correct form and scaling option :)

The class was very enjoyable. Allison was always there to help me correct my posture. She was patient, professional, and very supportive. I felt safe, confident, and well taken care of throughout the entire session.

Going to class with Damon is always a great way to start the day! No matter how I’m feeling or my level of ability, Damon has options that work for me! He’s always encouraging and provides great feedback.

Kim is an excellent facilitator/ coach for intro to cross fit. It was a great experience for a first class.

Damon is always positive. He brings with him, knowledge of correct movements, as well as ideas on how to help get you there if you are not yet able.

Today’s class with Calley was great. Her instructions were very helpful & much appreciated as I’m new & still learning the moves. A tough but very enjoyable workout!

Calley is always “spot on” with the Legends. She know exactly what each of us are capable of and need. I will miss her so much when she goes on maternity leave. I can’t imagine another coach as attentive to each individual athlete.

Great coaching and adjustment tips! Felt great and had fun!

Megan is always a smiling and supportive face! She pushes us to do our best, but offers alternatives if we're not there yet. Her class is always a sweaty joy to attend!

Calley has really matured as a coach. She is clear and direct on exactly what it takes to perform the exercise correctly and be safe. She is beginning to excel at the cadence and tone.of her within exercise instruction. I feel.comfortable.in her.class, protected. I am confident I won't get hurt in her class; even when 40 front squats hurts a bit. Great Job!

Gave lots of motivation. Always checked in to make sure I was doing good. Made sure to show me scaled back option and understood that I recently had a baby so made sure to make sure the moves I were doing were safe.

Very encouraging and had many different ways to adapt the workout for those who needed a lighter approach to certain exercises. Im thankful I came for the class and was able to push myself😊

Liked the playlist today

Alison is a great coach! Full of energy and very knowledgeable. Goes around the room watching and providing feedback.

Kim makes you feel so welcomed! She has a way with making you feel like you belong there even if you have no experience. To top it off she’s extremely knowledgeable and has contagious high energy!

Great! Damon is always informative, helpful and encouraging when leading his classes. Great classes, Damon.

Did an amazing job making you feel welcomed and at ease. She acknowledged that all of it can be intimidating for beginners but that the community is here to support you (which they have been) and having her correct my technique (or lack thereof) has been an eye opener.

Great experience with Damon, this was my first “real” CrossFit class, after 9 months of Baby&Me, and I loved every minute of class! Damon was very good to go over everything, and demonstrate it all, and ask for any questions!

Our last on ramp was class wicked! Coach Kim made it fun, was encouraging, gave us direction in our technique when needed and got us pumped up to come back! Thanks!

Very helpful and knowledgeable coach, always willing to step in and help

She was amazing, I had an amazing experience my body feels great and my mind feels restored and refreshed!! It a great atmosphere and the Kim was super helpful and supportive!!

Super helpful and takes good time to explain each move!

Megan creates well-balanced workouts with good rotation of muscle groups. Each class has been different, which keeps things interesting. She describes exercises clearly and demonstrates the exercise as well as several adaptations, which makes the class more accessible to beginners. My fitness has improved a lot since starting the class last month.

Fabulous Brings great energy to class Helps each of us with technique so we are getting exercise right Provides options for everyone

We have different fitness levels in our class and different challenges. Calley is great to adjust the workouts on an individual basis. And she is very encouraging!

Always great experience with Warren as a coach. Very supportive and he always offers up advice when needed.

Damon always knows how to help his athletes work hard and focus on form of all athletes in class! Since I was a beginner, he advised me to focus on the form instead of the intensity and that was very helpful. Great coaching as always Damon!

Damon’s energy was great as always today. I just started using the 14lb WB and he helped me figure out how to get less spin so I have more control of the ball. Thanks Damon!

Kim’s wicked good Cares a lot Knows her stuff

This was Warren but he wasn’t in the drop down list. Great coach and very encouraging.

Great class, great demos and lots of good scaling options!

Thank you for the great class! I loved how you were able to help me with the proper technique etc. the class flew by! It was fun🙌

Great class!

Great workout. Megan explains everything well and gives advice along the way.

Damon was very encouraging and motivating as there were many lifting movements and techniques I have not done in a long time! The overall atmosphere and encouraging team support was wonderful. Can’t wait for my next work out!

Trying CrossFit for the first time was definitely intimidating, especially since I didn’t know any of the techniques. Thankfully, Megan was incredibly helpful. She took the time to guide me through everything. Looking forward to my next class

Was an absolute stellar class. Coach was funny (good looking too), had great cues and it was a great atmosphere. Would 100% recommend

As always, so understanding of different levels of fitness and lots of modifications if needed. Thanks!

Megan is always great at explaining each maneuver and getting us to do a couple practice ones so that each person is doing it correctly! I really enjoy Megan’s class!

She is excellent at providing feedback throughout class. Keeps us on time without feeling rushed. Love her confidence with the info.

awesome! i like how megan explained the moves beforehand and showed us how to do it! i would love to see even more guidance throughout the exercises to make sure i am doing things ergonomically correct to ensure low risk of injury as i push myself to use more weights!

Awesome! Megan leads a great class - tough but low pressure. Perfect for someone like me who’s just starting out. Can’t wait for the next one!

Very challenging workout. Explained and demonstrated clearly

Allison was wonderful. I felt that safety was first priority. The enthusiasm was fantastic! Being new to exercising I was nervous. However, I was guided and informed about how to move my body. I feel great!

It was nice to be able to adapt my workout to my concussion issues. Class was great. On time and well explained.

Great class, awesome energy!

Calley had fabulous encouraging energy while coaching, she’s very helpful and kind. Her demonstrations before the workouts are great ! Calley is the reason I got into CrossFit and love it ! Great session and a wonderful coach!

Warren was great! He has a very positive attitude and always helps to make sure my form is good and the tips are always very appreciated!
