About Our Facilities
Personal Training Space Rental
Running your own personal training business means your training environment is part of your brand. DQ Ballroom & Fitness gives independent personal trainers in Ottawa access to professional, well-equipped space — by the hour, on your schedule, without the overhead of a commercial lease.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between the floor fee and private rental?
The floor fee gives you shared access to the gym — practical and affordable for most 1-on-1 sessions. The private rental gives you exclusive use of the entire gym, which some trainers prefer for client privacy or when they need full control of the equipment and space.
Can I hold a regular weekly slot?
Yes. Many of our trainers book recurring weekly sessions. Contact us to check availability and set up a schedule that works for you and your clients.
Can my client arrive at the studio independently?
Get in touch when making your first booking and we’ll walk you through the arrival and access process for your clients.
Can I bring my own equipment?
Contact us to discuss storing your own equipment and props at our gym to be used with your students.
Do I need to be a certified personal trainer to rent the gym?
The gym floor is open to anyone looking to train. Certification is not required to rent the space.
