Welcome

Westridge Is Two Minutes Away.
And The Commute Ends There.

For most Westridge residents who want to get fit, the default option has been driving into Kanata — merging onto the 417, finding parking, navigating a crowded floor, and spending more time commuting than actually training. It's no wonder fitness falls off the list first.

Between The Bumpers is two minutes from Westridge on local Stittsville roads. No ramp, no highway, no traffic. Just a quick drive down Fernbank Road to a coaching facility where the classes are small, the coaches know your name, and every session is led by someone who actually prepared for it.

🚗
The Commute Problem Is Solved

The number one reason people stop going to the gym isn't motivation — it's friction. A 20-minute drive each way to Kanata adds 40 minutes to every workout. BTB is 2 minutes from Westridge on quiet local roads. That friction disappears, and consistency becomes easy.

This Is Not a Big Box Gym

There are no anonymous open floors, no music cranked to drown out the crowd, and no trainers glued to a clipboard ignoring you. BTB runs intentionally small group classes and semi-private training — so every session is coached, not just supervised. You show up. Someone is there ready for you.

Getting Here From Westridge

The Intersection That Leads Straight To The Gym

Fernbank Road intersection near Westridge Stittsville — route to Between The Bumpers gym
Fernbank Road, Stittsville 2 minutes from Westridge — no highway required

The route from Westridge to BTB is entirely on local Stittsville roads. This intersection puts you two minutes from the facility — no merging onto the 417, no Kanata box store traffic, no parking lot chaos. It is the kind of commute that actually makes getting to the gym feel effortless.

That effortlessness is the point. When the gym is genuinely on your way — and the session waiting for you is coached, structured, and already prepared — showing up stops being a decision and starts being a habit.


What We Offer

Classes and Training Built for Real Adults

BTB isn't a drop-in fitness studio and it isn't a big-box gym. It sits in a different category entirely — small, coached, and structured around the kind of adults who have busy lives and need their training time to actually count.

The Environment

A Gym That Actually Feels Like It Was Built for You

The BTB environment is something members from Westridge consistently comment on after their first visit. It's not what they expected — and that's entirely by design.

01
Mature & Welcoming
BTB is built for adults — primarily 35 and up. There is no youth gym culture, no intimidating energy, no pressure to perform for anyone else. Members show up to improve, and everyone in the room understands that.
02
Small Classes by Design
Classes are intentionally capped. The goal is never to pack a room — it's to ensure the coach can see every member, correct every rep, and actually know what you're working on. That's what separates coaching from babysitting.
03
No Judgment, Real Encouragement
Whether you're returning to fitness after years away or showing up for the first time ever — you'll find a community that is genuinely supportive. Members encourage each other. Coaches meet you exactly where you are.
04
Structured Programming
Every class follows a periodized program — not random daily workouts. You build on what you did last week. Strength compounds, movement improves, and results show up on a timeline that makes sense. No guesswork, ever.

Getting Started

How to Go From Westridge to BTB in Three Steps

1
Book a Free No-Sweat Consultation
A private 20–30 minute conversation at 6511 Fernbank Road — 2 minutes from your front door. No gym clothes, no workout, no obligation. Just an honest conversation about your goals, your history, and which program fits your life. The right starting point makes all the difference.
2
Get Matched to the Right Program
Based on your consultation, your coach will recommend the right entry point — group classes, semi-private training, or a combination. There's no template. The recommendation is built around your schedule, your starting point, and what will actually produce results for you.
3
Show Up. Get Coached. Feel the Difference.
Within the first few sessions, the difference between coached training and going it alone becomes obvious. Within the first month, you'll feel it. Within six months, you'll wonder why you waited. And the drive from Westridge? You'll stop noticing it — because it takes two minutes.

An amazing gym — knowledgeable coaches that set the tone for a friendly and supportive environment. The coach explained how a lack of flexibility was causing issues with certain exercises, showed me workarounds, and what I needed to do to improve. My expectations have been exceeded.

This is the first gym experience in my 58 years where I've had the motivation to commit the time — and I've had the results to show for it. Getting stronger and relief from chronic pain I've suffered for the last 25 years. You won't regret it.
