We did three times a week, which comes to $63 per session per person ($378 for a week for both of us). Each week, we did upper, lower, and cardio/hiit. Pro tip: if you do delegated training (aka your PT follows a clinical plan put together by the in house physio), you can claim it through your insurance. Delegated training is 1 on 1, not partner training though. Pilates also counts too!

I only wish that it wasn't always so fully packed with people. It can be quite difficult to do certain poses with so many people being inches away from you. The instructors are also friendly, non-judgmental, and quick to provide support whenever I needed help. One last thing I would mention is that hot yoga isn't for everyone. I personally prefer regular flow yoga because I sometimes find the hot temperature to be too much for me. From my understanding, they do not offer regular flow yoga classes here. Other than that, I would highly recommend Oxygen Yoga & Fitness to anyone seeking to begin practicing or continue practicing yoga!

The gym can be intimating when you don't know how to use the equipment or understand the right routines to get you the results you want. The Precision personal trainers are professional, knowledgeable, have ensured I have the right program and most importantly keep me motivated. I am proud of the gains I've made with my trainers. I have worked with their personal trainers for over 10 years. Highly recommend working with Precision Athletics.

I started going here a couple years ago. I first worked with a personal trainer. I chose to take…read morethe 1/2 hour classes as they were a bit more affordable. Plus I was told I could come up to an hour earlier to do my own warm up and stay up to an hour after and do more if I had any energy left. That half hour was time well spent. My trainer made sure I was getting the most out of my workout and pushed me to my limit. I then decided I would take a few classes. I took a spin class as I had heard it is a good work out. Plus I ride my bike to work so I figured it couldn't be that bad. The first day I strolled in everyone else in the class had on jerseys and had clipped into their pedals with their bike shoes. After listening to most of the conversation I figured most of the class were amateur competitors. Basically I walked out of there weak legged, but determined to improve. Unfortunately the class was canceled, but I actually learned a lot about riding technique that I still use today. I then took an all ladies boot camp class. I loved this class and wish they still offered it. I think they have an all ladies running class, but well my knees have informed me that they would rebel if forced to attend. Instead I took on the speed and agility class. I used to call it 'dog training' as you run through and jump over obstacles for most of the class. However, if that last description makes it sound like a breeze think again. Expect to sweat your way to a better you no matter what class you take here. The class sizes tend to be small so the instructor can make sure you are suffering just enough. The gym itself is great. The equipment is modern, clean and well maintained. The staff are all friendly and good at what they do. My only complaint is the billing system. I signed up using my credit card for 6 months of classes on a Monday night. Monday being the day that most of the stat holidays are on. I noticed on my billing that I paid for classes that were canceled on stats and for classes when the instructor was unexpectedly called out of town. I was able to easily resolve this, but should not have had to check.

This gym is unequivocally the worst fitness experience in the lower mainland. Equipment is…read moreregularly taken over by personal trainers. In fact, several times throughout the week, at peak periods FW staff trainers hold classes that uses the entire gym making it impossible to train independently. There's only one set of pretty much any equipment which means your often waiting for weights and benches. The washrooms are never cleaned and often in disrepair. Equipment is rarely wiped down by members even if FW actually filled the hygiene stations. It's disgusting. More importantly, it is not a safe space and there's no staff on site if aggressive individuals are present. People regularly fob in large unpaying groups. When asked about this, FW says "there's nothing we can do". You're better off doing pushups in your living room.

Personalized workout plans can also be provided by Martina and feel free to drop in whenever you like and work out at your own pace.

Small space but a great bunch of people and you receive more attention from your trainer due to smaller class sizes. Kids classes are available on some afternoons

The trainer did NOTHING. She asked if I was ok as I sat on the floor in agony. I was the only person working out at that moment so you could HEAR the pop. I asked if I could have an ice pack or if they had a first aid kit and she said they did not. I asked if I could at least have a water from the refrigerator so I could stop the swelling and she did grant me that (but I had to give it back). I reported this and asked if I could end my contract but they did not allow me so I paid FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR. It's a year and a half later now and I'm still recovering from this. I'm still getting, "We miss you" emails from them which has engorged my rage and prompted me to warn others about this. If this doesn't stop you from signing up, check out their hours. They are absolutely HORRIBLE. For a person with regular work hours, not convenient at all. Unless you like live like right next door. Oh, yeah, another issue I had was I moved to Vancouver suddenly, like a week after signing up. Nope. Not convenient at all. They rope you in with this "woman safe space" which is complete BS when they obviously don't care about you, even when you get injured RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM.

To be honest, I probably wouldn't have signed up otherwise, as their regular price ($160/month) is out of my budget. I attended my first training session this past weekend and I have to say, I was really impressed with their equipment. Everything is very high-end, top-of-the-line and the studio itself is very clean and well-organized, not to mention ORANGE! The music is very high-energy and well-suited to the environment and the workouts. The classes consist of a type of circuit training, where you switch between treadmills, rowing machines and weights/resistance training - and it's all based on your heart rate, which means anyone from beginner through to advanced levels can participate and benefit from the same class. I haven't been to a gym for a really long time (embarrassingly long!) but I was able to keep up and go at a pace that suited me. You're given a heart-rate monitor to wear during the workout and your information is displayed on screens in different locations throughout the studio so you can keep an eye on your progress. If you stay within your 'orange' zone (84% or higher of your maximum heart rate) for 12-20 minutes during each workout, you can burn an average of 500-1000 calories. My instructor, Jahnele, was amazing. She explained everything before we started and after the class, took a few minutes to explain the results on the screens and what it all meant to us as participants. She also said that each workout will vary, so it never gets boring. I'm very excited to start my fitness journey with OrangeTheory!

For…read moretime starved people like me, the efficiency of 30 minute sessions, not to mention the reasonable cost, keeps me pumped to come back. Warning: you will sweat a lot! Here's how it goes down: You can book sessions (either single or semi private) online or via the app Arrive early or stay late to use the bikes for some additional cardio. Sweat from the first moment with a pretty vigorous workout. This is not like that crazed extreme I've heard about with crossfit and no one is yelling at you like you are a soldier. Imagine a more encouraging, high intensity environment that happens to smell like tea tree which they use for disinfecting. The gym is a full body studio with free weights, benches, balls and trx bands, plus they have a seperate space for classes. It's a pretty intimate space, with a max of 3 trainers (and 6 people) at any given time. They have really worked hard to maximize a small space. The only thing I wish they had was a shower space so I could go straight to work after. As someone who has been working out with personal trainers now for 1.5 years, Jesse and his team have really wowed me. It's a cardio kick in the pants and you are pretty much guaranteed to improve quickly. Jesse, AJ and Clem are all fantastic and I hear that Hannah is known as the "wedding whisperer." They also have a rad referral program, so feel free to mention me. 5 referrals and I get a vitamix!

This review is long over due. I was going to post it before they moved from their original location…read moreand it's been sitting in my draft box ever since. I've been to many typical gyms, boutique gyms, and I've been on a million fitness fads. Basically I'm like most people who have tried different kinds of work outs all throughout their lives. A lot of these places tend to take your money and leave you to it. Hannah, Jesse and the rest of their team really truly care about you and they care about helping you reach your fitness goals. Supportive, welcoming and not intimidating are just a few words to describe their very dynamic gym. They WANT you to come in and train with them. They get such a high off of seeing you get fit and will send you personal reminders to make your next appointment. Every trainer at Fit in 30 is an absolute gem. Over the few years, I've been attending, I've almost tried them all out by now! They all have their own style of training so I would recommend signing up with a different one until you find one you connect well with. They're all excellent trainers so you can't go wrong, and the flexibility to choose between trainers at the time slot you want is fantastic. There really are NO excuses not to go. I know all too well that it's easy to convince yourself that there are... but their scheduling system helps eliminate a part of that. The concept is high intensity. Yes, you've heard of it before, but they were a HIIT style gym before HIIT became popular and they're always trying to come up with new ways to bring more value to their clients. Tons of weight loss and weight maintenance talks, one on one support from your trainer, the occasional community event, fundraisers, monthly challenges, and even a free group workout session every Sunday (free for everyone - member or not)! If you're looking for results, they will get you results. All within a mere 30 minutes. There's a reason their gym is always packed with happy, returning clients (returning being the key word here). I would highly encourage you to come and experience it for yourself.
