Kazam Gymnastics

I've been taking class for a month here and I am very impressed with the quality of the instructors and the equipment. I would highly recommend this gym.

I thoroughly enjoyed training with Kazam Gymnastics. Alex worked with me towards my personal fitness goals over the last few months. He tailored the training to strengthen my weaknesses in a stepwise manner. His approach made realizing my goals much more achievable than I had anticipated. Alex also has a really great understanding of the body, its movements and alignment and would correct my technique and position in order to ensure maximal efficiency and that proper muscle groups were being targeted. I look forward to continuing to work with Kazam Gymnastics to improve even further!

I can't say enough about how awesome Kazam Gymnastics has been for me! When I moved to Ottawa in summer 2019 I was looking for a supportive and efficient training environment. I'm in my early 40s and, like most of us, have a busy work and family routine. I have been physically active fall of my life (rugby, weight training, jiu jitsu) but had never previously trained in gymnastics. Alex and the team made me feel welcome and helped me gradually and safely progress through the introductory Onset program, providing regular individual feedback during training sessions. In less than a year, Alex's instruction has enabled me to make significant improvements in my handstand, ring muscle up, bridge, as well as my general mobility and flexibility. Kazam Gymnastics is a supportive community of aspiring adult gymnasts who celebrate each others' successes regardless of one's level. When the pandemic necessitated a temporary shut down of in-person classes, a quick pivot to live and recorded virtual training occurred which allowed us to stay active and motivated during these challenging times. I now continue to do a combination of virtual and in-person training as this accommodates my busy schedule. As Alex would say, "It's never too late to be awesome" and he certainly motivates us all to strive for awesomeness! I highly recommend Kazam Gymnastics to anyone looking to improve their overall fitness level.?

I've joined Kazam Gymnastics in 2018 and never looked back! I came in with minor injuries and lack of mobility and thanks to the well-rounded programming, knowledgeable coaches, and their attention to detail, my body feels better than ever! I very much enjoy being part of this like-minded, yet diverse community, with people from all walks of life, looking to improve their fitness and well-being. All the classes are super fun, yet have a structure that includes warm-up, skills work, a strength component, conditioning, and a cool down, leaving my body feeling better then when I walked into the gym, every single time! Thank you Team Kazam!

I first heard about Kazam through a trainer I follow on social media, seeing him work on handstands and gymnastics movements made me very curious about the place especially since I love all types of movement, mobility and have been working on my handstand for the last couple of years. By the time I decided to try a Kazam class, COVID hit and everything was shut down. I still reached out to Alex in order to get more info on classes and membership and he invited me to the online classes. I first starter with a Saturday morning mobility class which was super fun and it was followed by a handstand class. The way the Handstand class was structured made a lot of sense and even if everything was done virtually, Alex was able to point out some alignment that needed adjusting in order to maintain proper form. I then continued with other virtual that was offered which allowed me to see how knowledgeable Alex was in his teaching. I am so grateful that these classes were available during COVID and especially seeing the human side of Alex, he wasn’t just there to teach a class, he was there to see how members were doing during these hard times and was offering his help if needed. I think that’s what me stick around… Summer then came around and I was able to take the virtual classes outside and that’s when I was able to connect the dots. The things we learned in mobility and strength class helped me take down some barriers and allowed me to get more air time in my handstands and took away my fear of falling. The adventure continued with outdoor classes where the child in me came out with all those cartwheels and hand balancing options. I then discovered rings and that is now my new challenge, but I am glad that I have a great trainer to help me through this new adventure. Now that gyms are open, I’m able to meet other members and be part of this adult gymnastic community. In talking with members, some have been there for years and you feel the gratitude and commitment they have toward Kazam and with the little time I’ve been there, I feel the same as well. This community, like minded who wants to learn gymnastics while having fun and always supportive of each other is what differentiates Kazam from other gyms. What’s next….well Kazam is now introducing benchmarking, that will help me establish a baseline and will guide me in what I need to work on in order to improve my gymnastic experience so that I can crush my next benchmarking experience. Once thing is for sure, it doesn’t matter how old you are, its never too late to be awesome!

I always wanted to get back into gymnastics and I found this place through Instagram. It wasn’t what I expected at first I’m glad I joined. The coaches are dedicated to getting everyone the proper technics, form and strength. Coach Alex often mentions “it doesn’t get harder, you only get stronger”. I sadly had to step back because of work but I will definitely come back to keep working on myself. Definitely recommend!

This is the only fitness program I have ever been able to stick with. Kazam Gymnastics provides a safe, encouraging space to explore gymnastics movement and strength, and they happily meet you at whatever level you are at. When I came to Kazam in 2019, I just wanted to recapture some of the gymnastics movement from my childhood... working through the program, my handstands are stronger than they have ever been before. The Kazam coaches and community have helped me realize I am stronger than I think I am, and have encouraged me to explore skills I never thought would be possible.

I joined Kazam gymnastics years ago but then had to move away for work. I missed it so much and then I recently moved back to Ottawa and first thing I did was join the program again! I was never a big fan of going to the gym and working one muscle group at a time, gymnastics works so many things at the same time and is the ultimate mastery of your body's movement and mobility. It's so rewarding and there's so many great skills that you get out of it! Alex's program is awesome and he is a fantastic coach, very knowledgeable and helpful. You don't need to be a gymnast to go here, you can start at any level and build up from there, and the results are amazing. Alex has a unique method called benchmarking where you can measure your skill level over time and see the improvements!
