This place is awesome! Super grateful for the energy and support every time I walk in. All couches are great but huge thanks to Laura and Dani you guys are amazing. Dani, thanks for always making us laugh even when we are dying mid WOD, lau thank you always for bringing good vibes and the best music. Love training with you guys 🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️ Less

Daniel is a great coach whose passion and energy pushes you to be your absolute best every class. He’s not only knowledgeable and attentive to form, but also genuinely cares about each athlete’s progress. Training with him has given me more confident in weight training. I always look forward to his classes - Highly recommend! Less

I absolutely love this gym! The coaching is top-notch — the trainers really know their stuff and are always there to help push you to reach your goals. The atmosphere is so motivating and supportive, which makes every workout enjoyable and challenging. The gym is always clean and well-maintained, with plenty of open space to move around. The owners truly care about their members and go above and beyond to create a welcoming, positive environment. If you're looking for a place to crush your fitness goals, this is the spot Less

One of the best gyms I have ever been to. As a beginner, it was a struggle during the initial few days. But I never felt like quitting and that’s only because of the exceptional coaches ( Holly, Laura, Mary-Anne) who provide unwavering support. I’m in love with the 1 hour I spent here. I finally found something I’ll want to stick with. Less

Laura is an incredible coach! I am new to CrossFit and was nervous to get started but Laura is so friendly and patient - she made me feel at ease and gave me the confidence to just go for it! I love every class - they are always tough but Laura and all of the coaches at CrossFit Somos offer variations for each members’ individual level and encourage you to challenge yourself. I am always amazed at what my body can do! I am so happy I joined this amazing gym! Less

I love going to MA’s classes! Everything is explained well and she always checks in on everyone to make sure they have modification options and are comfortable with how the workout will roll out! Less

I was looking for a gym to make me stronger and fitter.I was intimidated by many of the gyms I visited. I found CrossFit Somos I was warmly welcomed and shown how to do exercises properly without feeling overwhelmed. You are treated like family.right from the start. The best hour of my day is at CrossFit Somos!! Less

I love CrossFit Somos. I started back in June of 2023 after doing Orange Theory Fitness for 4 years, and from the second I walked in the door to inquire about the gym, I knew it’s where I needed to be. Laura and Armando are the friendliest people I have ever met. This is a true family gym in every way. There’s a room for kids to hang out while parents work out which is helpful to parents who want to keep their fitness up but don’t have childcare at the time they want to go to the gym. There’s scaling options for anyone at any age or fitness level and there’s no judgement. I was completely new to CrossFit and in the last year and a half I’ve seen more improvements in my fitness than ever before. All the coaches are incredible, you really start to feel like you’re just going to hang out with friends, which makes going to the gym that much easier and more fun. If you’re looking for a fun, encouraging and challenging environment to try something new or maintain your fitness, and if you’re open to making a bunch of new friends who will always cheer you on, this is the place. Less

I want to express my sincere gratitude to Coach Holly. She has been guiding my training for the past couple of months, and I can't find the words to express how thankful I am. I never would have believed I'd say this, but now I can't imagine my life without CrossFit. Thank you, Holly, for helping me become the better version of myself — you are simply the best! Less

CrossFitsomos is the best gym I have ever been to. Every coach is amazing and they help me with different techniques coz m a newbie to CrossFit .Holy is my favourite coach 💝because she’s exceptionally good and I look up to her . I look forward to go to the gym and my body feels amazing 💐💐💐💐💐 Thanks a lot to Laura and Armando for providing Barrie residents such a nice place to workout 🏋️ Less

I changed gyms to CrossFit Somos and it’s been absolutely amazing! Everyone is so welcoming which makes a super positive environment. The coach’s are amazing to help your fitness journey improve at all levels. Most definitely recommend to anyone! Less

On June 14th I had my first CrossFit class, I wasn't sure how it was going to go, I was very nervous. I told myself not to expect to be able to do much, so that I wouldn't be disappointed in myself if I couldn't. As it turns out, I could do more than I thought. There was a lot I couldn't do, but I was given modifications that will get me from can't to can. I started off not being able to run, jump rope, do push ups, do burpees, pull ups, hand stands, rope climbs, box jumps, and my weight lifting left something to be desired. Now I can do many of those things - at least a little bit, or a version of them. Some things I'm still working on. I did my first hanging knee raise. Not just one, I did a bunch. I didn't think I could, I have to stand on a plate because I'm too short to reach the bar, but I did it! My hands hurt SO MUCH. But I'm so surprised and so proud of myself. Every time I go to class, I can do more. Each time I win. I win when I put something on and it fits better than the last time. When I pick something up and it feels light. When I don't get out of breath going up a hill or stairs. I don't feel exhausted after doing chores. Those are just everyday things, but I'm winning. Even though I've accomplished a lot in life, and have worked hard for it - nothing has felt quite like this. I would never have believed that I can do hard things and it can feel good. I feel so much stronger, physically and mentally. Find something you can win at, and do it. It's so important, as is your mindset. Less

The coaches are friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating to all fitness levels. The entire community is welcoming and motivating, making it a great environment! Whether you're a beginner or experienced athlete, I highly recommend CrossFit Somos! Less

I never liked the gym. Always thought it was toxic and I always felt insecure. I started with my good friend who was already a client. I’ve been going now for about 2 months and I’ve never felt better. Everyone is at different fitness levels, yes. But, #1 everyone is treated fairly and are respected. #2 the coaches will work with you to achieve a fitness goals/ scale it to what you can do and are comfortable doing. It’s such an inclusive environment with amazing results (physically and mentally). All the coaches are rock stars and I always feel welcomed and included. Less

Being away from home, this gym has truly become my second home. The community is incredibly supportive, offering me encouragement during my lows and unwavering support to help me rise above. It's more than just a place to work out; it's a welcoming space where people genuinely care for each other. The positive atmosphere and sense of camaraderie have kept me motivated and helped me reach my fitness goals and set newer ones. Less

Laura and Armando treat you like they’ve known you to years. Incredible humans who run an even better gym. CrossFit can be overwhelming but all the coaches do a great job at scaling workouts and making sure you can complete the WOD, while also not making you feel like you’re sticking out. It’s a great environment for learning and failing and moving forward. Love love love! Less

Just finished a ladies bootcamp at CrossFit Somos. Great time! They program the workout so that everyone could go at their own pace and ability level (always offered modifications), with confidence. Laura is super inclusive, positive and friendly. Even though we were only there for 6 weeks, they made everyone feel like family, all while making us stronger and better 👏🏻. Less

Where do I begin? I started going to Somos when I was just 2 months postpartum. As a first time mom, I was very unsure how I would fit going to the gym into my new life. Laura and Armando not only made me feel at ease with bringing my baby to the gym, but gave me a space where I could heal, rehab and recover. Not only has it been a great place for myself, my daughter has also learned so much and is now so well socialized. We see Somos as a second home and my daughter has truly grown up in this gym as if it were her home too. I am beyond grateful for their inclusiveness and caring nature. I can happily say I have gotten back to my pre baby fitness level and more. I would also love to thank Holly for helping to guide and scale my workouts so that I could safely build up my strength again post partum. If you want to be apart of a community that becomes like part of your family, Somos is truly the place to be! Less

Don't hesitate, try it and you'll love it.The coaches and members are very friendly and helpful, and take great care of beginners. Definitely the best place to start your efficient workout. Less

Knowledgeable, experienced, and friendly staff! Great community of CrossFitters of varying levels. After having been inactive for a few years, I've never felt out of place or not good enough at Somos. For parents of young ones: there's a play room with a view to the gym floor for kids to hang out and play in while you get your 1 hour workout in. It certainly has made exercising for this mom much easier! Less

Starting my CrossFit journey at CrossFit Somos has been truly transformative. Despite initial hesitations due to my fitness level and being an extremely shy person, the welcoming community led by Laura and the supportive coaches quickly eased any anxieties. Their personalized approach ensures I'm challenged appropriately while feeling safe and supported. In just under a month, I've seen remarkable improvements in my strength, endurance, and confidence. If you want a gym that feels like home and helps you crush your fitness goals, CrossFit Somos is it. They're not just coaches, they're your biggest cheerleaders. Trust me, it's like working out with family, and it gets you results. Less

The support I have had has been incredible. Being someone who is older, and has done nothing like this in years, there is always a level of concern and apprehension when starting out. But the coaches have helped me every step of the way and the other members have done nothing but support me along the way and make me feel welcome. An incredible community!!! It is been an amazing transformation in my life and I can’t thank everyone enough for their support in my journey. Less

First and foremost, the owners are top-notch human beings with integrity shining through every aspect of their business. The coaches here truly care about your progress and will cheer you on every step of the way. They'll push you to your limits, but in the best and safest way possible. Special mention of Holly, who I attend regular classes with as well. Thanks for encouraging me to dig a little deeper each workout 💪 Although it can be scary going to a new place at the beginning, everyone is incredibly supportive and there’s no intimidation factor. At first I was nervous about ‘feeling less than’, but quickly found that there’s many options to challenge myself while working in my scope of practice. When I first started, a fellow member (Andrew) said “everyone chooses their version of hard”, and it’s something that’s stuck. CrossFit Somos is genuinely an amazing place to be. Less

When my wife suggested joining a CrossFit gym, I thought, “Oh yeah, sure, maybe I’ll join Cirque du Soleil too!” At 50+ and only being exposed to the Reebok CrossFit games, I didn’t think it would be possible. My wife convinced me to try. We live a healthy lifestyle, and maybe we’re not athletes, but I liked the idea since she knew of people who had taken the plunge and survived to tell the tale. Fast forward one month, and we are enjoying the journey. We won’t be joining any competition soon, but we can do the work (albeit modified), and I have a goal and a belief now that maybe I can do this. The team at Crossfit Somos works with whatever skill level you are at; they are encouraging and accommodating. I am enjoying getting to know everyone, like like-minded people who make you feel like part of a community. Less

My husband and I wanted to up our work outs and join a CrossFit gym. A few people recommended CrossFit Somos so we gave it a try. So far we are a month in and couldn’t be happier. The trainer’s are amazing. So knowledgeable and patient with us. They also give us so much motivation to keep going. I would recommend this place to anyone who is a seasoned athlete or just new to exercise. They have something for everyone. Less

Great gym, friendly staff, nice equipment, clean, knowledgeable coaches, good atmosphere and friends. 6 stars for having coffee/nespresso after the WOD Less

As someone new to CrossFit, Somos made me feel welcome from the first time I set foot into the gym. The coaches and atmosphere are friendly, supportive and super encouraging! I highly recommend! Less

As a first timer to CrossFit and a brand new member to CrossFit Somos , Crossfit Somos has great coaches and a very welcoming environment. I am coming up to a year at Somos , and thought I would send a quick update , Great Coaches , Great Members , both encourage and celebrate your successes! Make you not want to miss a day ! Overall the environment makes this place great! Less

This is definitely the best CrossFit gym in Barrie. We follow very good programming, the community is very supportive and fun and the coaches are very well educated. This is the biggest CrossFit gym in Barrie with tons of space to workout in. I would highly recommend this gym and the prices are great! 💪💪 Less

Without a doubt the most welcoming environment I’ve had the joy of being a part of for the two plus years! I’m not just part of an amazing fitness community, I’m part of a wonderful family! Laura & Armando are two of the kindest, most down to earth people I have the privilege of knowing. They along with the rest of the coaching staff make CrossFit Somos more that just a place to get a great workout, it’s a sanctuary where I can rejuvenate my mind, body & soul. Less

I joined the Somos to be social…I gained a family Most definitely the best place I have worked out the coach’s and even the other members are fantastic everyone cheers everyone on pushes people to new limits. The place where your weakness becomes a strength. You’ll leave on a high…. I do daily :) Less

I joined the Somos family in December of last year. I am (technically) a senior citizen and after I retired I looked for a place where I could receive instruction, advice and results, all without judgement. Somos Crossfit has really been all of that, and more. The people I train with are welcoming and supportive. There are classes at all different times through the week to accommodate any schedule, including a class directed to people over 60. In seven months my strength and stamina has improved by at least 25%. In addition, I have dropped 18 pounds of excess 'dad bod'. I have trained at a lot of different gyms over the years, but Laura and Armando, the club owners, have really created a place to call home. Less

I’m a member of CrossFit Somos the last 2 months and since I attended to my first trial class, I knew, it will be my favourite place. The instructors are friendly, well knowledgeable and with a welcoming smile, always. I’m so happy to be a member of the CrossFit Solo community and in love with the amazing workout classes . Im seeing improvements (already) in my fitness goals. Best workout studio… Highly Recommend it !!! Less

CrossFit Somos is my happy place! The coaches are encouraging and meet you exactly where you are at! They celebrate your successes and are by your side to provide advice and demonstrations. The members are warm and welcoming, many of which I now consider dear friends. There has never been a day I regret attending a class☺️ CrossFit Somos changed my life and my relationship with myself and exercise forever. Less

I honestly would 2,000% recommend Somos to everyone!! I have only been for a short period but I already feel like family! They are so encouraging on whatever journey you are on! I’m new yo the CrossFit world and the support that not even the coaches give but others around are supportive! If you want the best out of time head over!! Less

Great place to get fit! Laura and Armando are motivating, professional and kind. The community is very welcoming and supportive. Blessed to be a part of this crew. Less

Great place to start your workout journey! I went as a newbie for crosstraining and the owner/instructor let me know the steps without singling me out. Everyone was super friendly! Less

As someone who’s never done crossfit i was SO intimidated before I joined. I heard that it was challenging and wasnt sure if I could do it. Laura and all the staff have been so amazing and helpful while I’ve been learning all the workouts that are fit to challenge me yet are also super fun! By far the most amazing gym I’ve been to. 10/10 recommend Less

Suzanne Vaillancourt I have been a member of CrossFit Somos since 2017 Since the first time I set foot in the gym I was greeted with kindness and felt welcomed by the CrossFit family. There is a vast variety of work outs. I love that each day is different. There is always a scale option. Coaches take the time before each workout begins to walk you through each movement. if you have a goal you would like to achieve Coaches and Members come together to help you achieve it. This is my home away from home and you can’t help but keep coming back the gym and coaches and members are what makes this gym a great community . I am still going strong at 59 yrs of age and hope to be here for many years to come. Less

As a newbie to the cross-fit world I was not sure but I can now confidently say this gym is fantastic. The trainers, the equipment, the staff, and the overall atmosphere is a game changer to the fitness word. 10/10 recommend checking it out no matter your experience level! Less

I joined this gym 4 weeks ago after being very lethargic during the pandemic. I'm out of shape and brand new to CrossFit so I was a little intimidated to join. I'm so glad I did join - the staff are patient, skilled and motivating and the members of this gym are fantastic! I am loving the workouts and the atmosphere. If you're hesitant about joining, don't be, you won't regret it! Less

I Joined CrossFit Somos one months ago and absolutely LOVE it. Great vibe everyone very welcoming and so supportive. The staff and coaches are awesome, they take the time to show you the proper technique, are encouraging and follow each and everyone goal. The class are challenging and always different. Less

Great vibe, great staff. Workouts are challenging and come with great variety from class to class. It's really easy to pick up the names of certain lifts and squats if you're new. They explain how to do everything as part of each workout even if everyone in the room is experienced, so there is no need to worry about whether you're going to get overwhelmed or confused if you're new. Class sizes are kept small so you get a lot of space and attention from the coach. All the equipment is new and the design of the gym is fresh. The culture is friendly, and members are supportive of everyone at any level. There are friendly competitions each month and the gym gives access to an app that lets you record all your records and progress. Less

Hands down the friendliest, most encouraging, and fun environment. Instead of dreading my workouts, I look forward to each class. Definitely recommend this to anyone who finds it difficult to start and continue with their fitness classes. Less

From the moment you walk in you can feel the welcoming environment ❤️. Laura and Armando are one of the most kind and thoughtful persons and provide great guidance. Here you feel like being surrounded by family. Come and check it out, you won't regret it! Less

I've been Crossfitting for 10+ years and can say that CrossFit Somos is a very welcoming box that has a great, positive atmosphere. The gym's large and open space is awesome, they have a plethora of equipment for use and the coaches that I've thus far worked with are friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommended for newcomers and experienced athletes alike! Less

I have been going to Somos for about 10 months and ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! The community and the coaches are really what do it for me. I came to Somos knowing nothing about CrossFit but Laura and Armando work miracles and now I came lift heavy things! Less

I’ve been a Somos Family Member since November 2020. 😊 I was a newbie to CrossFit when I started at the age of 52… but like the good ol saying goes.. It’s never too late to try something new. 🤷‍♀️😬 Coach Laura is very patient & helpful. 🙏 Everyone is friendly & they make you feel welcome. I am always in awe of the advanced athletes at the gym!! 🙌 I’m glad I have stuck with it & will continue to learn & grow. 😊 Come check this Gym out… you won’t regret it!! 😉 Less

Joined in October of 2020 and it has been great ever since! The gym was super welcoming and is a great atmosphere! Coaching is great, and the workouts have options for a variety of skill levels. Less

I became Crossfit Somos member in August 2021, with goal to be phisically active and to discover new sport. I didn't expect that this gym and this community will become such important part of my life. Great coaches, workouts well planned, supportive members... I enjoy every hour spent there. Less

My favourite place in town. Amazing members and coaches made me feel welcome from day one. Everyone does a great job of supporting each other no matter what stage they are in their crossfit journey. Less

Great place to fulfill your fitness journey. There are members of all levels of ability. Whether you are a beginner or elite athlete you will feel a warm welcome by the coaches and members. Less

Less

I've been doing Crossfit for nearly 8 years, and have been going to Crossfit ERT for just over 2 years. This place has so many things going for it: facility size, equipment, coaches, new COVID precautions and above all Community. It doesn't matter your fitness level, whether you've been doing this for years or haven't stepped into a gym in years, the ability to modify for your own abilities and goals are what make Crossfit and Crossfit ERT a wonderful place.
