“I hired Marlene at La Tropiqua to do pedicures for the guests at a baby shower I hosted and it was fantastic. Marlene was great to work with in the lead up the party and all of the guests had a great time. It was such a nice way to spend the afternoon. Marlene brought everything with her and even had spa music playing while doing the pedicures. I would highly recommend!“
“This is not really a review, but a love letter to what was the single best gym experience of my life. Over the past 4 years I trained at N1, ultimately starting muay thai as a complete beginner, barely flexible enough to kick at hip height, to trying out BJJ classes, and taking regular boxing classes. What I found in my time training at N1 was an incredibly kind, positive, and supportive community who encouraged you to challenge yourself and stay consistent, no matter your goals. What makes N1 an incredible gym to train at is the people. Kru Naaron, Kru Grant, Kru Naj, PJ, Paulo, coach Chris, and more are amazing trainers who teach well and meet you where you're at. Want to try out a few sessions or use martial arts training as a fitness class! You're supported with that. See yourself getting competitive and want to break into the amateur fight scene? You'll be welcomed with open arms. N1 has slowly built up a group of awesome amateur fighters in boxing, muay thai, and bjj over the years.
As stated, N1 was a great community. Everyone I trained with there was great. There was very little ego and everyone treated each other well, whether during training or sparring. While I sparred very little the impression I got was that sparring is done the Thai way - light, playful, and with learning in mind. And on another note, a very large part of the N1 community were women, which is something awesome to see in the martial arts space. Lots of women's only classes offered alongside coed classes!
The gym itself is a smaller space, but that made for much more personal classes. You will never got lost in a big class, and you will always get feedback from your trainers.
In summary, whether you're new to martial arts and want to try one out (boxing, muay thai, or BJJ), or a seasoned practitioner, N1 is by far the best gym in Ottawa to look into. You will find classes of all abilities, a growing amateur scene, and amazing trainers.
To Naaron, Grant, Chris, Naj, PJ, Paulo, and Curtis - thank you for everything! You made training one of the best experiences ever! Till next time :)“
“Love this place for swimming. The instructors spend so much more energy and time with the kids than the city lessons. The water is warm and the pool is very kid friendly.“
“Sparkling 25m swimming pool with large windows and sunlight. Spacious workout room. Nice staff“
