“I’ve been many places and this is the best place to workout in Ottawa! Great staff! Challenging new workouts every single time!”
“The Bully Busters Workshop at DOUVRIS Bank street was great for my 6 and 8 year old girls. It was a positive experience for them and I think they are better prepared now in the event they find themselves in this type of situation.”
“Great staff. Great training!”
“Our kid used to get bullied, and has never recurred since signing up. But the real benefit is that our child can now concentrate on school, not the negative environment associated with lunch hr or outside play. Brilliant, different kid since day 1.”
“I was really surprised by how much fun my daughter was having. She’s learning about respect while gaining confidence and staying active. I think it’s a fantastic activity for kids to get involved in.”— Alan Dean, parent
“The school exceeded my expectations in the staff’s care for and encouragement of students. I very much appreciate the constant support and understanding from everyone, and I’m happy important life lessons like respect and etc. are covered.”
