Stittsville's Coaching-Led
Health & Performance Center
Expert personal training, small-group fitness classes, and in-gym physiotherapy — right here on Fernbank Road, for the people who call Stittsville home.
Stittsville's Only Coaching-First Fitness Facility
Between The Bumpers opened on Fernbank Road because Stittsville deserved better than another crowded commercial gym. We built a Health & Performance Center — a place where every client has a coach, every session has a plan, and every four weeks that plan evolves based on your actual progress.
We serve the full Stittsville community: professionals commuting to Ottawa's tech sector along the 417, parents from Blackstone, Fernbank Crossing, and Jackson Trails, retirees from Amberwood and Fairwinds, and families from across the west end who want a fitness home that takes their health as seriously as they do.
There are no egos here. No crowded weight rooms. No "figure it out yourself" mentality. Just qualified coaches, structured programs, and a community of real people doing the work.
A Gym Built for How Stittsville Lives
Stittsville has grown dramatically over the past decade. New subdivisions like Blackstone, Jackson Trails, Fernbank Crossing, and Poole Creek Village have brought thousands of families to the west end — families who are active, health-conscious, and looking for fitness options that match their standards. Between The Bumpers was built specifically for this community and this moment.
Fitness for Real Stittsville Life
Our clients are your neighbours. They're working full-time, raising kids, commuting to Kanata or downtown Ottawa, managing aging parents, and trying to hold together everything that makes up a full life. They come to Between The Bumpers because they've realized that structured, coached fitness isn't a luxury — it's what actually works.

Why Stittsville Residents Choose Between The Bumpers
Meet Sam Sabourin
Sam is the founder and head coach at Between The Bumpers, and a Stittsville resident himself. He built BTB because he saw what was missing in the west end — not more gym equipment, but more genuine coaching. Sam and his team know this community because they live in it.
