I've been climbing here on and off for years but I've finally decided to review this place. I came…read morehere today (02.15.2026) with my Japanese friend who was climbing for the first time. Layla helped us out and helped my friend with her orientation. She was very nice and took her time explaining things to her. Layla was overall very pleasant and lovely that I had to leave a review for this place. I've been to 20+ climbing gyms over the span of 10+ years but she was easily one of the best staff I've encountered. Aside from that, I love the sets and the feet washing station they offer. Overall a great place for all levels!

THIS IS A REVIEW FOR THE HIVE PORT COQ - Can't find the location on Yelp…read more We were excited to visit The Hive Coquitlam as a family, but unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. My wife and I brought our 8-month-old baby with us -- obviously too young to climb or even walk. We were simply hoping to enjoy a relaxed session while taking turns climbing and keeping our baby nearby. Initially, we had our baby sitting quietly on the mat near the back traverse wall, which was not in use. We held him up briefly against a hold to take a photo (he can't climb or even stand on his own). A staff member approached us and said our baby couldn't touch the holds unless we paid for him, which felt unnecessary but we complied. He also told us the baby was ALLOWED to sit on the mat. Later, we moved to the Kilter Board area -- again, with no other climbers present -- and continued taking turns climbing while our baby sat beside us. A different staff member came over and told us babies are not allowed on the mat at all. When we mentioned what the first staff member said, she simply responded that she didn't know why he would say that. We felt like we were being shuffled around and treated as an inconvenience, despite being respectful and careful not to disrupt anyone. What was most frustrating was the inconsistent information from staff -- it left us confused and unwelcome. If The Hive has specific policies about infants in the facility, that's understandable. But those policies should be clear, consistent, and communicated respectfully. Sadly, this experience left us feeling that young families are not welcome here.

Their gym is well lit, it's not too cramped, they have a room to do cycling, you can go outside with mats during warm days to do your excercises, and they have two stretching machines.

I have been taking pottery classes at trout lake for the last 3.5 years, I love the instructors and…read morehave taken Suzanne's and Laura's classes. They are hard to get into (you need quick fingers) since they are very reasonably priced. Free parking lot, but heard that's changing to paid parking this summer :( the front desk is always helpful, they have a cafe in the back for a drink or a quick snack. Twice a year (May and Nov), they have a pottery sale from their members and everything is so reasonably priced!

I visited this gym for a (non-Groupon) coupon that I had. Prior to this, I didn't even know this…read moregym existed. I am a regular at the Cliffhanger gyms in Vancouver and Coquitlam, so I was curious to see how things might be done differently in this gym. The set-up of the place is cozy, and the people are really friendly. The space is not very big but the variety of climbs they offer, relative to the square footage that they have to work with, is probably the best I've seen. Low angle friction climbs, lead, overhang - and the first time I saw completely horizontal ceiling/roof routes. The routes are more difficult than that of Cliffhanger, with a closer simulation of the outdoors (they use some real rocks as holds as well). Lots of bouldering problems - most are not graded as V-something but just Easy/Medium/Hard. (But the "Easy" ones aren't that easy.) The place gave me an impression of it being a sort of "climber's lab" - where the good climbers experiment with routes and moves and techniques. They probably start out doing this for themselves or for their buddies - but the result is a mix of really interesting climbs that make you think. It was actually quite humbling. They didn't charge us for the belay/lead test, which was nice. The girl (Jennifer) gave us helpful tips during the tests as well. If the location were more suitable, I would love to be a regular here.

Good place for a quick climb, varied levels of difficulties for climbers of all levels…read more Doug, the owner is an awesome guy- always super cheerful and friendly. Same goes for the rest of the staff, however, I'd avoid this place from 11-1pm on the weekends since it's a hot time for children's birthday parties. So plenty of chances to get kicked in the head by one, or you know, vice-versa, but either way, bad. Definitely go for lessons if you're new, or if you need a refresher course. The instructors are all really helpful.

Involves lots of crawling & climbing. They even have a wall you can run like in American Ninja Warrior activity. Very fun!

I AM THE FIRST YELP REVIEWER for Ninja Tag!…read more Wow, I am impressed no one on YELP has reviewed this entertainment venue. I hope my lengthy review will entice you to try at least one and to let you friends and family members know. Of course, any events like these, please take safety precautions. From the outside, does not clearly say NINJA TAG, it says TAG, but the door says the entrance on the other side that says to use the new entrance around the West side of the building. When you enter you would be greeted by the front desk to fill out a paper waiver. Normally it would be a digital waiver on the screen, but the program isn't working at the time I went. One game is $10.00 and you have 10 minutes to complete the recorded game stats. But you can stay longer to just practice after your scheduled time. I stayed like 2 hours there and continuously played the different stations. They require you to purchase the non-slip socks that you wear when playing. It is an additional $3.00. And unfortunately you cannot wear your own non-slip socks from other events, it has to be the ones they provide. Plus they also get you to purchase a wristband which is another few dollars. Overall it was around $18.00 for this activity. The wristband can be reused, but I forgot to ask if you could reuse the same Ninja Tag socks. They have bins off to the side of the counter to store you clothes and shoes. For safety and security reasons, you can store your valuables like phone/keys/wallets behind their customer service desk. After playing for 2 hours, I found the stations fun and some challenging. Everything inside is very well lit with red and it feels like you are in a dangerous warzone of entertainment. The most fun station would have to be the very first station because you get to run up a sliding hill and the goal is to TAG with you wrist the colors. There are 5 levels of different colors and if I recall correctly, I was able to get to the 3rd color BLUE. Please make sure after you have tagged the color to go down the hill like a slide on your back and arms in the air or close to your chest. Avoid the elbows and knees touching the slippery floor, you can skin your human skin. I did this slide multiple times and skinned my right knee. It feels like a bruise but after a few days, my knee aches to walk. I have been applying Polysporin a medical cream every day to speed heal the skin. It seems to be working, but still very painful.

My go-to gym for the summer time. Right by the water and great view of the water and the mountains…read more Pros: - friendly staff - front and rear gym balconies - spacious between equipment - pull-down lat/core ski-ergo machine Note: - no TVs (unlike mt. Pleasant cc) - it's a smaller gym compared to mt. Pls, but that means less ppl - free parking is past 2nd Ave, otherwise it's all metered parking around the cc

Thinking of moving into the area, so came here to check out how good the weight room is. The only…read moregood thing about it is that the views are amazing on a sunny day. If you don't live in the area, it's very close to the Main Street skytrain station (about a 2 min walk). Pros: - 2 areas specifically for deadlifting - 1 barbell pad (I need this for barbell hip thrust) - beautiful view of False Creek / Science World - new cable machines - there's an assisted pullup machine - spacious stretching area - they have large lockers (the long ones) - there's an ab wheel Cons: - no smith machine (!!!! What???) - no hip abduction machine - only 4 benches. Bonsor is similar in size and has at least 6 - it's a small gym - some asshole didn't put back the weights in one of the deadlifting area (325lbs). No f-in way am I reracking that. - the only extra barbells are the 2 in the deadlifting area. The other 2 are in the squat rack. At Bonsor, they have 6+ extra barbells that's in addition to the ones in the squat racks and bench press. Won't be going here again, not really worth the price of admission.

I visited The Hive Bouldering Gym with someone and it was such a unique experience. The atmosphere…read morewas energetic and focused with climbers encouraging each other and music playing softly in the background. Teenagers would love how supportive and adventurous it feels because everyone is trying something new together. The staff were friendly and gave helpful tips which made the service feel personal and motivating. The value was great because you get access to a lot of climbing space and gear for a reasonable price. The quality of the climbing walls and safety equipment was excellent and everything felt thoughtfully designed. The selection of climbing routes was impressive with options for beginners and advanced climbers. I only visited once before writing this review but it stood out as one of the most active and teen friendly places I have been to. Teenagers would love it because it is empowering adventurous and fun.

Went here during the weekend with two new climbers, and one occasional climber. We have pre-booked…read moreour 2 hour slot beforehand; this is required as part of covid protocol to limit the number of people in the gym. They also asked us to show our QR code for our vaccination status, and also one ID. Once we all checked in, I asked for fall assessments for all my friends, so they know on how to fall. They demonstrated how to fall, and ask us to repeat and made sure that we did it correctly. The staff also provided some useful technique to fall on different wall (overhang, slanted), and make sure that we understand the risk associated with it. The are quite a number of problems on the wall ranging from hex 1 to 6. Hex 1 is v0, hex 2 v0-v2, and so on. Not a big fan of the hex grading system as it's really hard to compare with the other gyms. Problems reset after around a month. I do like the fact that they have more climbing down holds lately so I do not have to jump down from a really high hold. Amenities in this site include foot bath (ask for towel at the front desk) , strength training area, and changing room with lockers. It's pretty hard to book for this location, so I have to always book a week ahead. This location is also always more crowded than the other location. Personally, I think drop-in is quite expensive, but I think the membership is worth as I go more than twice a week.

Such a fun place to have a kids birthday party! I'm sure every child had a good sleep that night!!…read moreI like that before staff allows you into the climbing area, they go over how-to, etiquette & safety. Be aware and read the fine print. If you tentatively book your number of guests, make sure you confirm with your guests or you'll be charged for every one including no-shows without proper notice. They verbally said 48hrs. On the website it says 24hrs. Aside from contractual logistics, I give a solid 3 star rating.

What a beautiful place. Automatic revolving door to enter and regular doors…read more The building is very spacious and bright and airy. It is very popular with patrons. The parking lot is quite full. There were many classes going on when we were there for an event. Signages are more pictorial rather than in words. There is a swimming pool and gym facilities besides the classes like dance and taekwondo.

This is my regular pool now. I learned to swim only in my late thirties. I used to go to Bonsor,…read morebut the chlorine concentration there is higher. Also, the folks at Bonsor can be awkward if you're a woman swimming alone. I've also tried Eileen Pool. Ultimately, I settled on this one because it's newer, more spacious, and forced me to get used to practicing in a pool where I can't touch the floor at all. After a few weeks of regular practice here, I'm no longer anxious when I cross the boundary between the shallow and deep ends (at other pools). As a bonus, I haven't had unsolicited creepy comments from anyone here - they seem to be generally respectful. They also have lockers that you don't need to pay for, nor do you need to bring your own lock. My chlorine sensitivity is usually not triggered by the levels at this pool either. They also have a leisure pool but I find it too warm to swim laps. The one thing to keep in mind is to check the timings when they're operating in a 50 m / 25 m configuration - and whether that overlaps with classes.
