Unified Fitness

Fantastic experience: I'm a 62 year old tradesman. A few years ago I realized I needed to start working out to get fit or, in my retirement, I would be restricted by health issues. But after a lifetime of physical work, stress, injuries (and a history of pushing myself too hard and getting injured) I knew I had to do it right. I am so glad I found Pedja at United Fitness. Starting slowly to correct basic issues he has guided me in a few months to a place of physical well being, strength and confidence. Every time there is an issue he finds an alternate approach to get past my restrictions.There is still lots of work to do and I will be at this with Pedja as long as it takes.

Fantastic experience: I have trained at Unified Fitness with Pedja for over 15 years. Fifteen years - that says it all. I have been able to age and participate in a myriad of sports activities with strength and good health due to my consistent routine with Pedja and more recently, Timmy. As anyone who trains can tell you, consistency is the key and since the experience at Unified is always enjoyable as well as educational, I am able to continue year after year with consistency. Another bonus — while recently cleaning out my closet, I was quite shocked to realize that there were dresses that I had not worn in many many years and they still fit! Hooray! Pedja’s overall knowledge of all things involved in physical training including anatomy, nutrition, and mindfulness are unmatched. He never misses an opportunity to further his own education -frequently participating in classes, and weekend clinics to further his professional development. Finally, he is intelligent and thoughtful about each client and views his clients’ well being, health, and overall fitness goals as his purpose. Trish is also a nutritionist as well as trainer and I have, from time to time, benefitted from her advice. I give Unified Fitness my highest review.

Fantastic experience: I had an excellent experience as a client at Unified. I've always enjoyed strength training, but never explored getting personal training until joining Unified. It was exactly what I was hoping for - tailored support for long-term success. Pedja's initial assessment gave me intel that I never knew about around hip/shoulder issues I had. Sound nutritional advice was provided. Joemar was excellent as my personal trainer - always available by phone and very accommodating of my personal schedule for sessions. He developed a program that was specific to my needs, gave excellent advice around technique, and was deliberate about setting me up for long-term success. I'm grateful to Pedja, Joemar and the rest of the team!

Fantastic experience: Training at Unified Fitness has been a game-changer for me. Timmy’s guidance helped me establish a consistent fitness routine and kept me motivated and accountable every step of the way. His expertise in addressing injuries and pain helped me recover and build strength without aggravating my issues. They created a supportive and encouraging environment that makes working out enjoyable and productive. If you’re looking for knowledgeable and dedicated personal trainers who genuinely care about your progress, Unified Fitness is one of the best in Ottawa!

Fantastic experience: Pedja and his entire team at Unified Fitness helped me to regain strength that I had thought I had lost forever. I am stronger now than I was 10 years ago. The team also helped me through an injury (tennis elbow) which was so painful at the time. They helped me to strengthen and recover so that my arm is as good as new. I highly recommend any of the trainers at Unified as a personal trainer if you want to regain strength and move the needled on your fitness!

Fantastic experience: I've been doing personal training at Unified Fitness with Terry as my trainer for a few months and love the results I am getting! I always get a great workout with Terry every time, and definitely attribute my lifestyle changes and weight loss to this gym. Terry is motivating and knowledgeable. He's also a friendly guy and fun to talk to as you work out. Since I started I've slowly but surely been loosing weight, and the positivity of working out here has led me to make better food choices. Pedja, the owner, is also very motivational and supportive regarding maintaining a high protein diet. I would reccomend this gym to everyone. 10/10.

Fantastic experience: After several months of RV travel, I felt weak and sluggish despite occasional hikes. RV travel can be sedentary. I returned to Pedja at Unified Fitness for a intervention. My entry assessment was discret and encouraging despite my dismal performance, particularly my balance. Pedja matched me with Terry Wood who crafted a series of exercises designed to build a base of functional fitness. It worked. Terry subtlety guided me through the exercises, seamlessly increasing the intensity and where appropriate provided nerdy ..guidance on technique. After three months, my balance has improved tremendously - frequently m one second on one foot to a series of unassisted balance exercises. I now have a set of to tools to support my active 75 year old lifestyle. Thanks Terry and Pedja.

Fantastic experience: 've had the incredible pleasure of working with Pedja over the past year, and I couldn't be happier with the results. When I first started, I was stuck in a frustrating cycle—years of inconsistent workouts, fad diets, and the belief that eating as little as possible was the key to being "fit." I was exhausted, defeated, and constantly battling hunger. Pedja approached my fitness and nutrition with a perfect blend of compassion and science. He’s not only knowledgeable but also kind, empathetic, and genuinely motivational. Our sessions were always fun, and he worked with me to try different programs and diet styles until we found the perfect fit for my needs and lifestyle. Fitness is a lifelong journey, but I’m now the strongest and fittest I’ve ever been. More importantly, I’m gradually transforming my relationship with food and exercise in a healthy, sustainable way. I came in with high expectations after reading the rave reviews, and I can confidently say that Pedja has earned every single one of those five stars. Highly recommend! Thank you, Pedja!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training in Unified Fitness with Pedja and Timmy for 5 months and I can’t say enough of THANK YOU! The experience has been amazing and I really appreciate all the help they have provided along the journey. I started up the training as I had an injury on my left knee after a bug bite. At that time, my knee would become very painful and swollen after a 10 mins walk, going upstairs, or after carrying a box of soda. I was so frustrated and realized that I really needed help from the professionals, who do not only offer workout training, but also have knowledge dealing with injuries. And I was lucky that I found Unified Fitness. Pedja is so knowledgeable, so thoughtful, so kind, and he really understands how to help people with injuries. I do feel that he really cares about me and my injuries, and that he always try his best to help. He’s able to provide different protocols based on my issues and the programs are always tailored so my left knee is not affected. Every class was so fun and informative. Timmy is also super knowledgeable and very kind. He’s able to provide guidance from a different perspective and that’s very instructive. He also helped me with the nutrition and shared me with the anti-inflammation diet which I’m really excited to try. So far I have learned so much from them. And my injured knee got so much better after trying their protocols and training programs. I’m able to walk for hours without feeling anything on the knee, and I’m able to lift heavy things and train again. All of these could not have been achieved without their help. I’m really grateful for everything they’ve done, and I’m excited to continue the journey with them. I would highly recommend this place for everyone, because of their knowledge and experiences, and because they really care for the clients and are willing to go above and beyond to help.

Fantastic experience: A friend of mine recommended unified fitness when I was looking for a personal trainer about a year ago. I have been a cardio focussed athlete for years, but from prior injuries I was limited to cycling and was scared to start running again. I met with Pedja for my intake appointment and we discussed my goals, which were to lean up so that I could lower my blood pressure, rehabilitate my knee so I could start running again, and fix some pain in my back. In his initial body assessment, he was able to identify a number of issues right away that I didn’t know about, including that my hips were imbalanced. It was suspected that a lot of my issues were from repetitive stress and/or bad posture. Pedja matched me up with Timmy for my personal training, and gave me a daily protocol to work on. For the first few months I consider it largely “office worker rehab”. We did foundational exercises that aimed to strengthen my core and mentally reconnect with my glutes. After a few months, I was already feeling the strongest I had ever been in my life. A big milestone for me was to finally be able to do a proper push up! Once my hip stability issues were addressed, I was able to incorporate squats and felt confident to finally start running again after nearly a decade of avoiding it. With running and cycling now at my disposal, I set a personal goal to strive towards: I wanted to complete a triathlon. The trainers at unified fitness are not just prescriptive, but also responsive. By sharing my new goal we were able to come up with a plan to build the necessary muscle to both avoid injuries, and also set myself up for success. Whenever a new ache or pain would arrive, I’d share it and we’d figure it out together. I came to really appreciate my “pit crew” keeping me tuned up to be able to continue with my cardio focused activities. Swimming was a daunting undertaking, but the core stability and back strength I was building helped me to improve my body position and technique in the water to stay in streamline. Pedja and his team also helped to keep me accountable on nutrition, I meticulously track my intake and automatically send a weekly report of my weight, calories, and macros. We worked together to set goals for caloric intake to cut fat, while keeping protein high to prevent muscle loss. I’m now in the best shape I’ve been in my life, and at weight I haven’t been since college. Unified fitness can’t do the work for you, but they’ll be there to support you through it. I’m 34, but my Garmin says my fitness age is 26. I’m feeling confident that I can actually achieve what once seemed like a “pipe dream” of completing a triathlon. I’m very thankful for my “pit crew” and plan to keep working with them for the long term. You only get one life and one body. The best investment you can make is in your own health, you won’t regret investing in yourself by working with Unified Fitness - I know I don’t!

Fantastic experience: Unified Fitness deserves a five-star review, they are an amazing personal training business that I would recommend to anyone in Ottawa who wants to get in shape. I started seeing Pedja and Timmy in the Fall of 2023. I was hoping to improve my overall health, learn the fundamentals of strength training, and develop good habits during a busy time of my career and personal life. The trainers at Unified Fitness are thoughtful, dedicated professionals who provide top-notch client service. They are knowledgeable and friendly, and have taught me so much about personal fitness. Going to Unified Fitness has improved my life significantly - every week they boost my mood and teach me something new. I feel stronger, more energetic, motivated, and empowered. Working out with them has been a transformative experience. Thank you to the exceptional personal trainers at Unified Fitness!!

Fantastic experience: After training at Unified Fitness for three months, I can confidently say that they exceeded my expectations! I was impressed with Timmy and Pedja's commitment and expertise, with each session tailored to my needs, and the positive atmosphere at Unified Fitness is contagious. I look forward to each session. I highly recommend Unified Fitness to anyone seeking personal training in Ottawa. Thank you, Timmy, Pedja, and Unified Fitness, for helping me reach my strength and fitness goals and making every workout enjoyable.

Fantastic experience: As an BJJ athlete and busy mom, it can often be challenging to find the time for strength training, but Timmy has given me fantastic enjoyable workouts that I can do in minimal time with minimal equipment. His corrective protocols are also great for efficiently rehabbing injuries and getting me to feel and perform at my best. His rehab Knowledge is very valuable to me as an athlete and something I find a lot of trainers lack. If you’re looking for personal training, either for strength and conditioning, to look and feel better, or to get rid of aches and pains, I highly recommend working with Timmy and the Unified Fitness team!

Fantastic experience: I had an exceptional experience with Unified Fitness and would confidently give them a 5-star rating. Pedja, the owner, went above and beyond by meeting with me personally to discuss my fitness goals. He took detailed measurements and crafted a tailored plan to help me reach those goals. Despite arriving with knee pain, my personal trainer, Timmy, guided me through diverse workouts over 8 months, addressing various muscle groups and provided valuable nutrition advice. Their expertise not only helped me start my fitness journey but also resolved my knee problems so I can play sports pain free. I highly recommend Unified Fitness for their personalized and effective approach to fitness.

Fantastic experience: A friend connected me with Unified Fitness a year and a half ago when I expressed concerns about pain and decreased mobility. Pedja completed a comprehensive fitness evaluation and discussed my goals with me. I have been training with Trish, and I am thrilled with the results! Trish provided an individualized program, making modifications as necessary for my limitations, but always with the goal to overcome those limitations. My initial pain issues have completely resolved as I have become stronger and more flexible. Trish has provided encouragement for me to push myself but never pressured me to do more than I was comfortable with. I am extremely satisfied with the investment I have made in my long-term health.

Fantastic experience: We continued working with Pedja and his crew, when Unified Fitness moved across town, for one simple reason. Not only are the trainers easy to work with and create customized routines to ensure we reach our changing goals but probably the most important aspect is we always feel like they want us to succeed and they go out of their way to make our goals reality. The team assists with all aspects including cardio, strength, mobility, wellness trough to stretching and breath work. They include all aspects needed to help us achieve our goals and they always put us first.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic team.great program to help us achieving our goal or needs and variety on the program.flexibility and accommodating to fit our schedule.

Fantastic experience: Unified Fitness stands out as an exceptional gym. The trainers are super knowledgeable and provide excellent support, ensuring personalized attention to meet individual goals. Whether you're focused on fitness, pursuing personal training, or on a rehabilitation journey, Unified Fitness caters to diverse needs. The owner’s commitment to excellence and a range of fitness services earns it a solid 5-star rating. If you're seeking a reliable fitness hub, Unified Fitness is a great choice.

Fantastic experience: My experience at Unified Fitness has been very positive. The atmosphere is very professional and the guidance from both Timmy and Pedja is extremely helpful and geared specifically to my recovery from injury and to my enhanced fitness. I am seeing improvements every week and loving it.

Fantastic experience: Unified Fitness helped me tremendously. Personal trainers and coaches working there will go above and beyond to help you achieve your goals!

Fantastic experience: I trained with Trish in a very transitional period of my life - going back to work as a new mom. She understood my ever evolving needs. She’s helped me both physically and mentally. Trish is an all star!

Fantastic experience: I decided to try Unified Fitness after reading the stellar online reviews. I met with Pedja and we discussed my goals for fitness and health in general. Pedja is extremely knowledgeable and has years of experience in fitness. He is thorough, enthusiastic and is a real motivator. Overall one of the best decisions I have over made. You cannot go wrong with this team.

Fantastic experience: Ive been working with unified fitness post pandemic and i can say with confidence that my experience has been amazing. Their personalized approach to personal training and expertise in strength and fitness have not only helped me competing internationally in kickboxing and jui jitsu, but also remedied multiple injuries accumulated competing over the years.

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience training at Unified Fitness with Trish. I encountered creative plans, great education, and solid motivation. With Trish's guidance and expertise, I achieved my strength goals and overcame the physical and mental barriers that were holding me back from the muscle-shredded functional-mobility body of my dreams. Whether you're goal is to sit at your desk job without throwing your back out or clean and jerk an elephant, they've got you covered. This gym is inclusive, safe, and welcoming.

Fantastic experience: Pedja and his team at the studio are incredibly professional and knowledgeable about body anatomy. They understand my physical condition and are able to develop a tailored training plan that is highly efficient and effective. Especially Timmy, who is super friendly and capable; on top of keeping me on track with my training goal, he also provides excellent advice to address the pain caused by my plantar fasciitis. Unified Fitness delivers arguably the best personal training programs in Ottawa, it’s the perfect place for anyone who wants to make health investments.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Unified Fitness since January 2023 and am loving my experience there! The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly, and it is a welcoming space for people of all fitness levels. My trainer Timmy and the owner Pedja have gone above and beyond multiple times to figure out how to address some of my chronic issues and injuries. I am so glad that I started going to Unified Fitness, it has made a huge difference in my life!

Fantastic experience: Pedja has an unparalleled understanding of the human body, and a truly impressive ability to adapt his plans on the fly based on how my body is feeling or moving that day. If you get the chance to work out with him or his team, you should absolutely take it. I've worked out with trainers in multiple other cities and I have yet to encounter someone with his knowledge. He's significantly helped with a longtime shoulder instability issue, and I look forward to continuing to work with him on strength and mobility.

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Pedja, Trish, and Timmy for the past 8 months with excellent results. They were able to taylor the programs to target my goals and to fit my schedule. I have seen a significant improvement in my strength and energy levels thanks to their training program along with the subtle lifestyle changes I made based on their suggestions. They are also a pleasure to work with and make the sessions very enjoyable and push you to get the most out of you. I would highly recommend them!

Fantastic experience: My experience with Pedja and Terry has been nothing short of amazing. Pedja and Terry's expertise and knowledge in fitness are truly unparalleled. They possess a deep understanding of human anatomy, exercise science, and nutrition, which they skillfully incorporate into every session. Their ability to create personalized workout plans tailored to my goals is amazing. They took the time to understand my needs, limitations, and preferences and ensured that each workout was tailored to my requirements. Terry's professionalism and punctuality were commendable. He was always available on phone to answer my questions and he consistently arrived prepared and organized for each session, maximizing our time together. He respected my schedule and always provided clear communication regarding any adjustments or cancellations and was flexible and understanding if I required any schedule change. I wholeheartedly recommend them to someone who is looking for an amazing team of fitness professionals.

Fantastic experience: Terry is a professional, experienced, and motivating trainer who tailors your workout for your specific goals. I highly recommend him and Unified Fitness - it’s an upbeat, friendly and professional studio! I’m really enjoying working on my fitness goals there!

Fantastic experience: Top notch professionals with top notch personalities, morals, and values. You will be in good hands! Pedja and his team demonstrate the highest standards on what they do, who they are, and how they make people feel. These aren't the kind of trainers that will beat you up and injure you. You'll feel supported, understood, and properly guided by some of the best in the industry. Couldn't recommend them more!

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend unified fitness enough! I have been doing kettlebell training with Timmy for some time, and I have never been stronger in my life. Progressing from nothing to one armed swings with 50lbs has been extremely rewarding and I could never have done it without his expertise in coaching and programming. Ask him any question you can think of about kettlebells and you can expect a nuanced, knowledgeable answer. He found me a workout I actually enjoy doing, and more recently is helping me train specifically for my new sport (brazilian jiu jitsu). Unified will build you a program that actually works for your life, whether that's simply countering excessive sitting, fixing problematic movement patterns or getting you in ready for a big hike, keeping whatever time you are able to commit in mind. The Unified team as a whole has got to be one of the (if not the) best in Ottawa as far as exercise therapy and rehab. They take continuing education seriously and are always building on their already considerable knowledge of the human body. If you need a physiotherapist, they will know and will refer you to the best in the city. If your coach doesn't have the answer, they will not hesitate to seek input from another coach, to your benefit. For example, Trish provided insight into my flat foot issue that has streamlined my rehab! In pain? Out of shape? They actually can help.

Fantastic experience: This is not your average "personal trainer" gym. The staff are at the very top of thier profession. They will level up your entire life. Your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health will improve as you commit to a program of self care. Do not miss the opportunity to train with these specialists. We have been clients for almost 4 years. All of the clients here do not leave, because the benefits are enormous!

Fantastic experience: Incredible place, incredible staff. I've been training with Pedja for over 2 years. I'm in the best shape of my life and this is after birthing 3 children in 4 years. I recommend this gym to anyone who is looking for the highest level of expertise in physical fitness. This is personal training at its finest.

Fantastic experience: I've had a great experience with both Terry and Pedja at Unified Fitness. I've had a few past injuries that were keeping me from working out without pain and they were able to come up with a plan forward so that I could keep making progress in the gym while addressing my past injuries. Nothing but good things to say about the team at Unified Fitness, they will keep you on track for your goals and provide a great space to grow.

Fantastic experience: I have been training at Unified Fitness with Pedja since the start of Nov 2022, and I LOVE IT! My husband and I went in for an assessment with Pedja, each of us having unique struggles, being at different fitness levels, and striving for different goals. We have been training with Pedja since then (3x a week), and it’s been super fun and effective. Pedja is incredibly aware of what each of us needs, physically and mentally. He caters his fitness programs and his approach with us based on our individual needs/personalities. He also encourages us to reform our physical and mental weaknesses, which I particularly appreciate. Pedja has been and continues to be instrumental in helping me ditch my destructive ideologies and replace them with something far healthier and superior. My goal and perspective have shifted from being just physically toned to appreciating each success, such as showing up consistently, making healthier food choices (no extreme dieting) or getting stronger by doing one more rep or lifting heavier weights. I am incredibly grateful for this mental shift which is monumental in achieving self-acceptance and happiness rather than being perpetually dissatisfied and always chasing the next goal. Pedja has an incredibly positive, uplifting energy. The minute I walk into the gym and see his beaming smile, I know I will be crushing my workout! I respect and enjoy learning from him and appreciate his vast knowledge of the human body and mind!

Fantastic experience: The team at Unified Fitness, Pedja, Timmy and Trish helped me immensely during my recovery from a serious illness. Working with them over several months, they took the time to understand my needs and limitations and work with me on a tailored program to rebuild my strength, stamina and confidence. The difference they made in my quality of life overall is amazing and I’m so grateful to have been a client of theirs!

Fantastic experience: TL'DR: If you are thinking about getting a personal trainer and/or have been trying and failing to get back into shape, I highly encourage you to speak to the team at Unified Fitness. I am 35 and have struggled to get back into shape over the last few years. I decided I finally had enough of failing by myself and decided to look into a personal trainer. I came across the site, and I was highly intrigued by the expertise of the owner Pedja, so both my wife and I went in for a consultation and assessment. Immediately following the assessment, I was impressed by Pedja's knowledge. He identified weaknesses I had no idea existed and developed protocols to correct them. This process continues beyond the assessment. During the workouts, I discovered another weakness in my shoulder after pushing it a bit, and Pedja created a corrective protocol to strengthen the area. These things were holding back my progress for years without corrective action. I highly appreciate Pedja's knowledge of identifying and correcting these issues. The workout plans are also excellent and will have you working hard but feeling better than you walked in. All the trainers there are also very friendly, and you will get good vibes just being there. In conclusion, you cannot go wrong with United Fitness. If there is anything worth investing in, it's your health, and Pedja is the Warren Buffet of advisors.

Fantastic experience: The team at Unified Fitness is unrivalled! They approach your fitness not only from the physical, but the mental side too. They completely customize the training to your body & habits and really take the time to get to know you & create a sustainable program. I'm constantly learning, laughing and achieving results with these guys! Highly recommend you book a consult, You won't regret it! Pedja, Trish, Terry & Timmy- you guys are amazing!

Fantastic experience: I go to UF weekly to train with Timmy, who is a super nice, positive trainer. The space is clean, new, and private. At the assessment, the owner Pedja interviewed my goals and put together a programme that suited my needs. I was a complete newbie when it came to working out, and I have limited space & equipments at home so I wasn't sure what to expect at first. I was pleased to find out that they put everything into considerations and provided me with fresh programme every few weeks that challenged me and was compatible with the equipments I had at home (which are only a mat, adjustable weights, and a few resistant bands). From what I understand, you can go there to work out with a trainer as frequently as 3 times a week, or go 1-2 times a week to meet the trainer and do homework on your own. For anyone considering trying this place out, I would recommend it 100%!

Fantastic experience: The past six months training at unified fitness with Timmy helped me recover my pre-pandemic form! I also gained a whole new set of exercises I can do at home with very limited equipment. And most importantly, a detailed assessment at the start helped strengthen some structural weakness. To me, that’s the best benefit of a personal trainer.

Fantastic experience: It's a pleasure to workout with Pedja. He is a wonderful coach and motivator. Pedja is extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of fitness and knows how to get results for his clients. His insights and ongoing support have been very beneficial to me. Thanks to him, I am on my way to healthier long-term habits that are leading to greater well-being. Thanks Pedja.

Fantastic experience: Training with Pedja for more than a year has been and continues to be enlightening about my own capabilities and strength. He offers excellent support not only in the gym but also for my life around it, therefore maximizing my chances of success meeting my goals, including for the management of pain or to sustain motivation. He knows the body (and mind) better than any coach I worked with in the past. A great coach and a great person.

Fantastic experience: My experience with Unified Fitness has been a great one. I trained for 6 months with Terry and I was lucky to have him as my personal trainer. He was conscious of my injuries and worked around them providing a great fitness training. I would like to thank Pedja for being my diet coach and helping me adopt a consistent diet plan creating short term goals and checking on them frequently. By training at Unified Fitness, I have learnt to maintain a healthy lifestyle for a lifetime. I would highly recommend this studio for your training and fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: BEST CHOICE EVER! I joined this gym in March and started one-on-one personal training sessions. I had a very friendly consultation with Pedja and decided to join because of professional suggestions. This gym will give you the personal and customized class you need. They develop fitness and nutrition plans according to your personal situation and ultimate goal. The training equipment and environment are very good. My personal trainer, Timmy, carefully observes the training situation during each training session and adjusts the training plan for every detail. I become much more energetic than before and did not feel stressed anymore. Even though I had to leave for a while due to personal reasons, Pedja and his team respected my decision and helped me a lot. I enjoyed my training at this gym and sincerely appreciate Pedja, Timmy, and of course the whole team's hard work. Show them your perseverance and they will lead you to the right road.

Fantastic experience: Not just an excellent personal trainer, Pedja has a deep understanding of people's bodies and is able to tweak excercises to avoid injury yet maintain personal goals. I'm impressed at my improvements through his holistic mindset! His approach is reflected in the awesome team he has assembled. I would highly recommend anyone looking to gain overall quality of life through strength training.

Fantastic experience: It was a wonderful experience training with Pedja and Terry. It was a great learning process too. Training with them, you realize how complex your body is while learning to exercise correctly. There is no need for complicated equipment or heavyweights to have great workouts. These guys know their stuff, and above all, they are great, honest and transparent people to spend time with. I always looked forward to my sessions at Unified Fitness. Do not be fooled by the size of the studio! I can guarantee you will have the most incredible workouts and holistic customer experience. Big things do come in small packages!

Fantastic experience: An absolutely wonderful gym, with friendly and knowledgeable staff. I started from the very basics and months later I have never felt so Fit, Healthy and Happy, even throughout the Pandemic! Thank you team!

Fantastic experience: Ive been working with Lucas and i cant say enough about his dedication, attention to detail and how pleasant he is. Thank you so much guys.

Fantastic experience: In addition to training with Pedja for over 10 years, I’ve also worked with a half a dozen other trainers at Unified Fitness. While all unique individuals with different backgrounds and skill sets, each of them has deep expertise, a commitment to lifelong learning, great devotion to their clients’ improvement, and an ability to see and meet the client where they are and tailor their training to that specific individual. There’s no shortage of ads out there for some shortcut method to get fit. But if it were that easy, you wouldn’t be reading this review. If instead of some shortcut, you’re looking for somebody to guide you through the process of getting in better shape, whatever that means to you (from fitness or bodybuilding competitions to just being able to walk without pain), I can’t recommend Unified Fitness highly enough.

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Pedja since the beginning of 2021. In just a few short months, I've made a lot of progress in my stability, work capacity, and strength--even with half of our sessions being remote. Pedja is supportive, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable about strength training, nutrition, sport performance, and fitness in general. Through working with him, I am now in the best shape of my entire life. If you are looking for a great personalized boutique gym experience, I cannot recommend Unified highly enough. Whatever your goals, Pedja and his team will help you get there!

Fantastic experience: My experience has been exceptional. I began training with Pedja in 2020. I struggle with a neuro muscular disorder so patience and adaptability are key. I was given that along with his knowledge and insights to provide relief and progress for my bodies functions.

Fantastic experience: I highly, highly recommend this gym to anyone who's recovering from an injury, living with chronic pain, or just needs some support to make their fitness goals happen. Pedja is incredibly knowledgeable and supportive, and training with Katrina is amazing.

Fantastic experience: I joined Predrag and his team a yr after having a baby. I was having trouble losing my baby weight and lacked motivation and energy to lose those extra pounds. When I met him for a consultation, there was something so warm and inviting about him and his team and gym space, that I knew it was the right fit for me. We started training 2x’s a week and between his perfectly suited exercises for my body and my goals, along with tweaking my nutrition, the weighted started coming off. Not only did I fall in love with weight training but within a couple of yrs time, I was training for my first physique competition at the age of 44yrs of age! He trained me for that as well. Bucket list #1 complete!! His coaching style, his incredible knowledge of fitness and nutrition is motivating and educational. I can’t say enough about this location and what they have to offer. Don’t think twice!! Just do it!! No regrets!

Fantastic experience: Awesome little gym! Very comfortable and private to train in.

Fantastic experience: Amazing and friendly people. They know their stuff and are very helpful. Awesome little workout space with great equipment too!

Fantastic experience: Chronic physical issues had been in desperate need of some help. Pedja is knowledgeable, supportive, smart funny and supportive!

Fantastic experience: Amazing little boutique gym with quality people, awesome equipment and overall a great experience. The owner is fantastic and all the trainers are on point!!

Fantastic experience: Unified Fitness is an amazing place for anyone who wants the best quality service. The trainers are so knowledgeable and caring and the facility is top notch. I highly recommend this training facility. It far exceeded my expectations.

Fantastic experience: Unified Fitness team will wow you. They provided expertise and accountability that made all the difference. They are detailed oriented and caring. Nutrition and exercise programs were custom made for me, amplifying my strengths while also addressing my weaknesses.

Fantastic experience: Pedja is an incredible trainer with a wealth of knowledge and kind, supportive and gentle approach to training. He quickly identified what was holding me back from reaching my fitness goals and has provided training programs that are fun and challenging. He really listens and takes his time, super punctual and has a team of amazing trainers at his gym. Best of all we can seamlessly switch to virtual every time the city shuts down - no excuses!! I have worked with several trainers and Pedja is hands down the best

Fantastic experience: Pedja has an academic and lived-in-experience blend to personal training that is better than anyone I’ve witnessed at a multitude of gyms around the United States. I trained with Pedja regularly from early 2010 til I moved back to the US in late 2012, and I developed a foundation to effective and pain free training. He’s a wise, wise man. He reads voraciously, goes to conferences when he can, and unlike many of the competitors at the Mr Olympia, he knows shows are won from the back and always had a nice Christmas tree in competition.

Fantastic experience: I have been training under Pedja for the past few months and it has been exceptional. His dedication to his clients always go above and beyond. I am in the Canadian Forces and staying in shape in my primary duty. Pedja has a unique method to his training, he analyzed my weakness and we worked to strengthen those areas first to prevent future injuries. Then he helped prepare a workout plan, flexible meal plan so that I can accomplish my goals. During the COVID closures, Pedja worked with me via Zoom and checked up on me so that I stayed on course with my workout plan. I am currently working with him to get bigger, stronger and leaner. I highly recommend his gym and staff. The gym is very clean, organized and has a great atmosphere. Check him out!

Fantastic experience: Excellent personal training experience. Consistent, focused on my goals.

Fantastic experience: I've been working with Pedja for 15 months and it's been a great experience all the way through. From the beginning, the progression of the workouts have been perfect since the start. He's been very flexible and adaptable to the plan. With injuries and COVID hitting, this changed what we were doing and how. He is a very good teacher and good judge of your abilities and builds plans accordingly. I highly recommend Unified Fitness.

Fantastic experience: I came to Unified fitness to help rehabilitate my hip. I wanted to get back to running and be more comfortable with working out in general. They gave me a personalized fitness routine to help my hip, and a lot of workouts I can do in a limited space, and with limited equipment. I'm back to running and feel like I have a basis in proper form form their excellent instruction.

Fantastic experience: Pedja provides fantastic motivation and expertise in each and every session. He has helped me change the way I think about a workout and I feel stronger than ever. I have seen him train 3 other people who had expienced injuries and he has made it possible for them to gain significant improvement. Not only is he amazing at what he does, he is also extremely positive and friendly and makes the experience as a whole a very pleasant one.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely unreal experience every time I get trained here. Pedja took me from very limited and in quite a lot of pain, to significantly more mobile, much stronger and in a lot less pain.

Fantastic experience: I have been having knee pain for awhile now. I have been to physiotherapy and it has not helped. I came across Pedja and have been doing weekly workouts and have been seeing vast improvement I recommend unified fitness to anyone in discomfort.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Unified Fitness to anyone who is in pain and needs help. I've been to doctors, chiropractors, massage therapists and physiotherapists and none of them have helped to the extent Pedja has been able to in a little over a month of training. Pedja listens, understands and structures a program designed to help with the issues that are specific to you. He has been positive, encouraging and is a fantastic communicator.

Fantastic experience: Pedja the body mechanic. I started with Pedja last September and honestly I have never felt better in my life. His comprehensive, tailored and foundational approach has accelerated me to a whole new level of fitness. He is exactly what you’re looking for in a personal trainer. He combines his knowledge of anatomy/function with experience, sports psychology and scientific literature. He is open-minded, engaged and patient. He will quickly adapt to your needs. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Excellent service, customized approach, friendly environment.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing Pedja for a variety of chronic issues. It’s been almost two years, and I’ve benefited *so* much. What chronic issues?!

Fantastic experience: Completely agree with other reviews. I started with Pedja in October 2019. His facility is a very inviting place with a friendly atmosphere. Pedja is highly experienced with a nuanced approach to help you achieve maximal results and avoid injury. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, he quickly transitioned to a virtual training platform with flexible scheduling. I recommend United Fitness without hesitation.

Fantastic experience: Results. That is the best part about working with Unified Fitness (particularly Pedja Stojnic!). I say what I want, he builds the plan, I follow it, and then I get the result. I've worked with Pedja throughout my athletic career (and after!) and he's helped me achieve all my fitness objectives (no matter what they were: weight loss, power, muscle gain, mobility, you name it!). Unified Fitness is a home for results.

Fantastic experience: Very professional and knowledgable. If you are ready for change, take action today!

Fantastic experience: Perfect gym, with amazing and caring coaches. Definitely worth a check to talk to the amazing trainers about setting you up with a path for success to reach your goals

Fantastic experience: Came in in extreme pain, flirting with long term physical disability, still here 3 years later at the age of 49 in the best shape of my life.

Fantastic experience: After years of competing and injuries in martial arts my back got to the point where I wasn’t able to bend or put my shoes on. After years of doctors, acupuncture, physiotherapy and trying everything I knew, I thought that my lower back pain will stay forever. After training with Pedja l started to have hope that I may get better. Now, after a year of training with him and at 46 years old I’m able to do everything that I did before injuries!! Pedja is a passionate listener and a real fitness expert with micro-precision.

Fantastic experience: Pedja Stojnic (owner of Unified Fitness) was my personal trainer back in 2009-2010. To say that the experience was nothing short of amazing is a massive understatement; training with Pedja completely changed my life and set me on a course I would not have found on my own. We started with a thorough set of assessments for mobility, stability and strength, and he was able to create a program that was fully customized to my body, my needs and my fitness goals; which at the time were set around removing chronic back and shoulder pain caused from poor mechanics when training in the gym. He showed me the importance of mobility training and owning my weak links. He taught me kettlebell training and helped me build up my foundation of basic strength and conditioning. He went through every basic strength training exercise and completely revamped my lifting mechanics for better alignment and posture - ultimately so I could be stronger and not injure myself. And then we got to training! All I can say was it was awesome! Sessions were intense, but relative to what my body could handle. We always pushed the boundaries, but with the respect. I got in amazing shape and quickly built a lot muscle, improved my posture and got to a place where my body was pain free. As a coach and a teacher, he became a mentor who I still have ingrained in my head almost 10 years later. I still hear his voice and his coaching cues to this day when I am training myself. His training sessions were very much an education in how to be a career fitness professional. Since working with Pedja, I have gone on to become a very successful personal trainer, kettlebell authority, movement specialist, and a mentor to other personal trainers. None of this would have happened without him being my personal trainer. If you are lucky enough to be able to work with Pedja - do it! He will change your life and he will see you to success with any goal that you set.

Fantastic experience: Best personal training gym in Ottawa. I have been a patron of this place for 5 years

Fantastic experience: Knowledgeable trainers
