ABOUT
About Between The Bumpers
Between The Bumpers (BTB) was founded by Sam Sabourin, a strength coach and athlete who felt that something was missing from his career after spending nearly a decade away from Stittsville. His wife, Arden, encouraged him to move back to Ottawa, and that conversation sparked the creation of BTB.
The community started in Sam's parents' small garage with just a few family members and friends training with outdated weights on a concrete floor. However, it quickly grew into a community of committed individuals striving to better themselves through fitness. After outgrowing the garage, the Sabourin family took on the ambitious task of building a new space for its growing community, breaking ground in April of 2018.
The gym is built on the same land that Sam's grandfather, Dave Morley, bought nearly 60 years earlier when he purchased the Mr. & Mrs. Stitts family farm. Sam and his family spent over two years building the new space, with early morning fitness classes and late-night coaching sessions squeezing in a few hours of construction in between each day.
Despite facing many challenges and adversities, the BTB community has come out stronger (We were open for 1 class in the new facility when the COVID lockdowns started). It is now recognized as a premier fitness facility, and its members are ambassadors of health and wellness. BTB is a place of high energy, supportive people, and growth, where members look forward to coming to the gym every day to maximize muscle gain, burn body fat, and avoid boredom and burnout.
BTB is a community of people who push themselves to become better versions of themselves. The coaches are recognized as some of the very best in their field and are required to constantly learn, take courses, and read books to stay on top of their game.
