This is a real crossfit gym that you must visit! I am a crossfit newbie and have absolutely no idea about the crossfit. Prior to sign up the crossfit, my friends worn me about how crossfit work out would break down my body(causing injuries), and this was true if you workout like "no brainer" or "inappropriate way" you would high risk for injury. However, the Crossfit 604 gym have totally changed my idea of the crossfit. During the class, two coaches constantly look for your forms and they approach you right away to correct your bad form to prevent potential injury and maximize the result. It's been for 3 months with Crossfit604 and my physical strength and mental capability for getting our of stress are already beyond my expectation. Of course, there are a lot of rules to follow. I am not sure how often it changes but I don't care of it, because most rules are made based on common senses. We are from all around the world and share the different cultures together. However, we mostly share the similar common senses to each other. Let's take it positively about the rules. Having strict rules means your right as a gym member will not be offended by other members. This is not like your a casual local gym. We pay more membership fee to receive a better service and bring the better result. I have met several amazing people already, and they were willing to help me if I came to then asked for help(one point tips or lesson, but do not ask them a lot. Their time is important too). read more

CrossFit 604 - Gym - Trainers Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

When you're coming from another country, it is a must to experience other boxes/gyms with different communities & styles of programming. We dropped in on a Friday morning for an 8am WOD. Walked all over downtown just to find this location & it isn't hard to find. This box was recommended through a friend whose hotel was a couple blocks away. What a great way to start our vacation with a WOD! As crazy as we were, we settled to do a workout the day before the SeaWheeze Lululemon half marathon. The coaches were aware & wanted us to go "light" for the day. Check-in: - 5 Canadian dollar drop in fee! That is surprisingly the best price I've ever dropped in a box for. - They have iPads to check you in, sign up with your name & info, enter in your credit card info, & you're in! - Gentleman up front took care of us since we came in a little late trying to find this place. Informed us where the bathrooms, place to put our belongings, & equipment. WOD: - We're coming from the US so anywhere other than the US counts in KILOS! lol. Had to calculate our pounds real quick. - Easy dubs, lunges, squats, & snatch strength. - They use a flatscreen TV to type out their WODs! how cool! Box: - CF604 is fully equipped with a huge rig in the middle. - Bathrooms have showers in them. - Very well organized & clean box. - Community looks big & they have a CrossFit games/regionals history! - Coaches are very well adaptive, encouraging, kindly introduced themselves, & kept a look out for our safety since we were doing cardio the following day. - They take good care of their equipment. One of their rules: *Do not drop the barbell with ANY black colored plates on them. The only time they may be dropped is when the colored plates are on!* Purchased a CF604 shirt for $10! That is another plus for their good prices! They automatically charged me through the card I entered in from checking in & I was out the door satisfied with a shirt & a good sweat session. We also wanted to grab breakfast nearby & they gave us recommendations between Chambar & another location. We were told where to be careful not to walk near downtown & go through their more "safe" streets. Thank you, the food was a good recovery after that WOD! read more

Member for 2 years now after weight training on my own for 40 years (I'm 56 as I write this). Can't compare it to other crossfit operations in the city as I didn't bother with them after it was clear from day 1 that these folks knew what they were doing to a standard that's rarely met. Having said that, I can also say ... High quality equipment. The right selection of equipment. Seriously *unbelievable* programming (daily, weekly and quarterly) that "forges elite fitness" as advertised. My experience - its been the key element to resolving two chronic injuries and getting my functionality back beyond normal to super-functional without medical intervention. A community that hits the sweet spot of supporting you to do your best while adjusting for injury risk. Coaching and coach:athlete class ratios that allow for continuous improvement in movement form and efficiency. LOTS of fun. My results - vastly improved functionality and fitness across the board - and I didn't start from zero. Chronic shoulder injury (complete tear through half of my supraspinatus tendon) now fully functional and improved on all measures - strength, stamina, stability and mobility. Gold star. read more

The box is in a bad neighborhood but the box by itself is great spot to workout at. Good programming and they have Mobility WOD as separate class which is hella awesome. I don't recommend for visitors that can't handle homeless around as linger in this neighborhood - but do try the box when you around downtown read more

Update: I was a member of this gym for almost two years and was constantly amazed by the incredible programming and supportive, knowledgeable coaches. The majority of the community there was also incredible, and I remain impressed with how welcoming people were to non-competitive/casual "WOD-ers" like myself. That being said, there are a number of things that left a bad taste in my mouth, enough to make me feel the need to change the rating. Primarily the behaviour of the owners as I was recently "expelled" from this gym with no notice, no warning, and only a tirade from one of the owners, who cited my personal fb books to support his rationalization that I have "no motivation". It was all very dramatic and (obviously) has changed how I view Crossfit 604. -There are a TON of rules. Rules that are constantly changing, being updated, being added to, and being posted on the (private) fb group. I could never keep up. There were rules about what we were allowed to say (no comment on music allowed, as it's viewed as complaining and no one is allowed to complain), rules about what we are allowed to do and how we are allowed to do things.. It's a very controlling environment and that's not what crossfit is about. At least for me. - The lack of flexibility (see above comment on rules). While the owners were quite flexible when it came to making arrangements for my membership holds to work around my frequent work trips out of town, they are quite particular about the rules and refuse to acknowledge that at least some rules may be less than ideal. One good example is being unable to cancel a reservation less than 8 hours before a class starts. Even if you know well in advance that you can't make it to a reserved class, there is nothing you can do. You are not allowed to post that you can't make it (because "giving away" your spot is against the rules), you can't ask the coach to un-reserve you (against the rules), and even if you know (e.g) 5 HOURS beforehand, there is nothing you can do. If the class if sold out and you don't show up, well, brace yourself for passive-aggressive/comments from the owners who will not hesitate to remind you of this (and other events) years down the road. Geesh. -Unprofessionalism on the part of the owners. There is a distinct lack of communication from the owners but they are more than happy to judge, criticize, and create drama around something you may have said or done that you thought was completely innocuous. We're all adults here, and the gym is our community. Discussion should be encouraged in an open and supportive manner but instead fb posts are arbitrarily deleted, and criticizing emails are sent out to the offending party, threats are made and punishment (for disobeying the rules) is swift. The tone is very much passive-aggressive and it's so bizarre. There's no reason for this drama, seriously. It's also really unnerving have one of the owners constantly yelling at people during class. While it's funny to joke about him being a drill sergeant, it really wasn't funny to be yelled at and threatened during class - for not remembering someone's name, for not putting equipment away in a timely enough fashion, for accidentally dropping the bar, for so many things it was hard to keep track. The quality of coaching and the incredible programs at 604 are second to none. Apart from the owners, the coaching staff are incredibly supportive and talented people who are exceptionally good at what they do - coach. However, the way the facility is run - as if the members are recalcitrant children who need constant reminding of how to behave, with swift punishment of any (of the many and seemingly irrelevant ) rules are broken - means I cannot recommend this gym to anyone who is looking for a long-term crossfit "home". Perhaps the fact that they often rent out the facility to do photo shoots or videos to businesses such as Lulu Lemon means that they can afford to only provide memberships to customers they deem worthy. It's such a shame that the owners don't recognize that they are running a business but instead act as if they are owners of a unique and discriminatory club. read more

Love this place! A lot of energy and motivation from everyone. The place is clean and organized. It's easy to follow the instructions even if English is not your first language. read more

I really like every single coach at this facility. Great vibes at this place. I broke all my PRs within my first 3 months with the help of the coaches. Team 604 :) read more

I travel for work 52 weeks out of the year and have been CrossFitting for about 10 months now, so at this point, I've been to at least 20 different boxes across Canada and the U.S. CrossFit 604 is one of the top 3 best boxes I've had the pleasure of going to. The facility is beautiful, up to date, and spacious. The equipment is organized & clean, and even more amazing, the teachers are top-notch. I was a drop-in for a week but received one-on-one corrections and suggestions like I was a regular. If you are ever in need of a killer workout in a fun, familial community, CrossFit 604 is the place to be! read more

I have done crossfit before in vancouver, and I injured myself for about six months, and swore it off completely. I decided to give it a try again with these guys, and the difference in my experience was night and day from the other location. Jason was my instructor, and he tooks us through an intro workout, and it was great. I have seen the benefits in the past doing crossfit, and that is why I am trying it again. The GYM is incredible, and the facilities are great, and super clean. Hope it stays that way. The instructors are great. I hope to save enough to take on their membership. Crossfit is a premium sport, for which you need quite a bit of money. read more

It's always exciting when you travel and walk into a box greeted with friendly hello's prior to the WOD that make you feel welcome and great coaching to follow... which you can tell right away. Many thanks to Ryan and Shannon with the tag-team coaching and leading a fun day involving some heavy cleans and Diane. read more

Apparently my review never went through and I want to make sure it does! My husband and I went here twice while we were on vacation in Vancouver - I would absolutely come back here. The coaches knew what they were talking about and were able to communicate effectively (hubby PR'ed while here!). In the beginning of the class, the coaches had us all meet each other, which I thought was a great idea to at least become familiar with the people we'd be working out with. They are also very thorough with warm-ups and I took a lot of our warm-up excerises and use them often. Apart from the coaches and the great workouts, the facility itself is huge, clean, and even has showers (a crossfit gym with showers... whaaaa?). This place definitely gets a 5-star. Awesome program here read more

Great facility and welcoming community. The coaching staff truly cares about each member, which is great to see. Everything is organized and ran professionally. There are many class options as well, which is great for those with busy schedules. I would recommend this crossfit facility to friends. read more

Back when 604 first opened I was fortunate to join in on some of the community friendly comps Jason would host. The Halloween WOD was especially memorable. It would be great to have more of these type of events in casual format here in Vancouver. I'd highly recommend the team & facilities at 604 for any level of Crossfitter and/or first timer. read more

Amazing gym!! Great coaches and the best programming and equipment!! Highly recommend as the best CrossFit gym in all of Vancouver!

Great gym and I highly recommend. If you ok with walking in the rough part of town then you will really enjoy this place

I have been a member of Crossfit 604 for 8 months, I left a traditional gym to try Crossfit based on a recommendation for a good friend. I feel it was one of the best decisions that I have ever made in terms of my health and ability to facilitate change and consistency. The coaches are first class, every single one of them and the facilities and members are all 5* in my books. CrossFit is NOT for everyone's lifestyle or workout ambitions but if you DO want to experience it, Crossfit 604 in my opinion is the best place in the city. read more

Dropped in to this Crossfit box on July 7th. By far one of the best classes of Crossfit I have ever experienced. Although I was just a drop in Jason took the time to coach me during a class of over 20 people. I don't find this to be normal but it shows he really truly cares about what he does. Communication to set up the drop in and schedule was excellent. The actual WOD kicked my butt. Anyone who is highly competitive would enjoy this box. read more

I hope your experience at 604 goes a bit more smoothly than mine!

Among the best Crossfit gyms in North America. Having visited dozens of boxes while traveling, it has become easy to distinguish a typical gym from those that are truly great. The folks at Crossfit 604 have got if figured out. Not only is the gym in a in a huge, stylish industrial space, it's very clean and laid out really well. The equipment is all top notch and well maintained. Class sizes are controlled and reasonable (typically 5-15 people) from what I've seen. Most important are that the workouts are well thought out, the coaches are super engaged and attentive (2 coaches for classes I have attended), and the members are diverse and extremely friendly for an urban crossfit gym. Lots of super fit people but also quite a few 'normal' folks. It's clear there is a really good community. If I lived in Vancouver, this would definitely be my home gym. read more

I've dropped in twice now and I've had a great time each session. Friendly and knowledgeable coaches with WODs that were challenging and fun. Classes are larger than what I'm used to, but the space can accommodate the class size (capped at 24 I believe). I would definitely recommend this box to friends and I will drop in next time I am in town. read more

Best facility on the West Coast. Featured box on Rogue site. Awesome coaching, great community, absolutely life changing. This place has become my church. #inwodwetrust. read more

I've been doing Crossfit now for a few weeks and since I travel with work 100% of the year I usually drop in at whatever box is in the city where I am. I have to say this is the best Crossfit box I've been to so far! The facilities are exceptional, all the equipment is first-rate, and the trainers are so incredibly knowledgable and supportive. These guys know their Crossfit!! And the support and encouragement doesn't end there. Everyone in class (complete strangers to me) was so friendly and welcoming. Still being fairly new to Crossfit I never felt pushed to do anything I was uncomfortable with, but I still felt challenged to go beyond where I was comfortable. It felt safe. Also, every exercise could be modified for newer Crossfitters like me. Vancouver is lucky to have CrossFit 604! If I'm lucky enough to get back to Vancouver for work this is where I'm working out! read more

I have been attending CrossFit 604 for nearly 7 years. I have also visited other boxes during this time. None come close to 604 in terms of programming, coaching, equipment and management. Highly recommended to anyone serious about fitness, health and community. read more

Dropped in when I was visiting Vancouver. I just wanna say Thank you for the great WOD and coaching. Facilities are amazing, everything you need for a Crossfit box. I will definitely stop by again next time I visit Vancouver. read more

I have had three previous experiences with Crossfit boxes and numerous visits to other boxes. Crossfit 604 is a great place to accomplish your fitness goals. The box itself is large and spacious, classes sizes are capped at 25 but even full you rarely have more than one or two heats for any WODs. There is plenty of room to work on your lifts, and other movements. The box is clean, and the member areas are nice to get showered, change and chat for a bit before continuing on with your day. The coaches are terrific. They are dedicated to your improvement, and have a good understanding of when to push and when to scale an athlete. I have never felt at risk in a recommended movement with this team. Even with a group that has significant experience, the coaches will demonstrate and refresh the desired movement for each WoD. They have an online system that tracks your performance, as well as making it easier to schedule yourself into class, make payments and report issues. The owners are super understanding and will take your individual needs into consideration when you sign up. The community that has been built up is great. Very supportive and active on social media. If you are interested in taking part in out of gym or social activities, that opportunity is there for you. If there is one quirk to the gym, it is that the coaches control the audio. This can mean one day you are listening to ACDC Thunderstruck or DMX and the next day have a Dubstep version of Britney Spears while you sweat. It's more of smile issue than a complaint though. read more

I've been a member of this gym for almost 2 years now. This is still the very best gym when it comes to Crossfit in the lower mainland. I've visited a number of gyms around the world by now, and have noticed a few strange things that make me doc stars. Beware of a few things that you will eventually notice, and even overhear other members complaining about too. - There are a TON of rules. It feels like a new irrelevant and nit-picky rule is posted about almost every week. The tone for these rules can be passive aggressive or almost ranting at times... i.e. don't put your waterbottles here, don't arrive more than 15 minutes early for these particular classes, don't leave this amount of chalk on the floor, don't put your kettlebell on a here, don't move this piece of machine here, put your skipping ropes in this exact hole, report this member to us if you think they no-show and the list goes on and on. The owners for this gym are incredibly particular about how they want things done, which is good when it comes to form/teaching but not so great when it comes to maintaining happiness for long term members. I stopped reading group Facebook posts because the constant flow of new rules bothered the shit out of me. I think there's also a weird culture of fear with their social channels in that sometimes a staff member/owners will post a new ridiculous policy or complaint about members but people are too afraid to say anything back. They'll just talk about it privately among themselves and put up with it because at the end of the day, 604 is the best gym this city has. I think this gym forgets that the members are customers, ones that pay an obscene amount of money to workout, not wayward children in need of discipline. - The programming here is fantastic. But there will be the odd time where the gym will be closed to everyone on a weekday to shoot a commercial or movie. They have lots of closed hours, but choose to disrupt our programming by giving us a weak "run 5k outside" wod so that they can make extra money with the shoot? Why wouldn't they have the commercial/ad people over during the many hours that the gym is closed to everyone? We pay $175-$250 a month for our memberships, and I think we deserve more. - This gym makes you pay for yourself/byob/food at all parties or events. Events that are meant to celebrate your membership! I think this is rather odd. This gym has over 300 members at any given time- they are doing well enough to not have to sell $20 tickets for celebrations. - There is only one day of open gym on the weekdays, and it falls on a Monday, which means it's closed sometimes due to holidays... and you cannot touch the barbells unless you pay extra for a lifting rack outside of those times. The open gym that does happen isn't always used solely for open gym- coaches clean the floors, or they use space for comp training when it should really be the time for the general membership to use the equipment. - The neighbourhood is dreadful. Really unsafe and scary at night- full of druggies. Makes running wods truly unpleasant as people will yell things at you, attempt to touch you, blow smoke in your face or be shooting up on the sidewalk while you're trying to focus on the workout. - No dogs are allowed, unless they're in a crate and kept at the front of the gym. Unusual for a Crossfit gym. - The people at this gym are generally incredible. However there are some competitors who will go so far as to ask you to move out of their way or who will get in your space just to make you uncomfortable so you end up moving...the ego boggles my mind. They do not pay more than the other members of the gym, and as far as I know, they even pay for their own competitions while they travel. There is a group here that are far from friendly, and are almost...elitist. Which is not what Crossfit is about. read more

Such a friendly place and a great workout. We stopped in the day before to pay and sign up for or drop in class. The area is a little iffy early in the morning (we took an 8:30am class) but the facilities are locked and have to be buzzed in. read more

One year ago, I realized that years of playing contact sports have caught up to me. I had chronic shoulder and knee pain. Rehab, physio, massage and working out did little to dull the pain. Taking my shirt off or reaching over to hit the snooze button was a painful experience. Going up and down stairs was also painful and I could barely squat past ninety degrees. After doing some research, I purchased some personal training sessions focusing mainly on rehab/form correction. I had no intentions of joining crossfit. I tried crossfit (at another box) and found it crowded, unfriendly and lacking coaching. Not once during my sessions did any of the coaches pressure me into signing up for crossfit. The coaching is phenomenal. The coaches are knowledgeable and well versed in exercise physiology. I would also watch the other coaches lead the classes (during my sessions) and was impressed by how dedicated, patient and attentive they were. I was so impressed that I decided to join after my third personal session. Fast forward one year later and I no longer have shoulder or knee pain. I have set and shattered many personal records and found an amazing community. read more

Fell in love!!! I have traveled the world and have seen many CrossFits, but this was by far one of the best gyms I have ever been to. Great hours, great coaches, top notch equipment, and just all around badass place to be! read more

Awesome box. Thanks for letting a visiting CFer come by and do the open.

Great gym, great community. A great variety of equipment, knowledgable training staff. Highly recommended if you are looking for a serious place to train this is the one! read more

Dropped in to 604 while travelling for work. Very impressed with the coaching, programming and facilities. Also very friendly and convenient for drop in crossfitters. I highly recommend anyone visiting Vancouver check these guys out. I'll definitely be back while I'm in town. read more

I have been doing CrossFit for 5 years, been a member at several gyms and dropped in at many more. This is the best gym I have been to. They raise the bar when it comes to facility, equipment, coaching, programming and community. read more

Amazing experience from start to finish! As I was dropping in from Winnipeg, I didn't know the neighbourhood and the box. I emailed Jason and he promptly answered all of my questions. I dropped in for two classes and enjoyed the friendly, fun atmosphere. I do apologize that everyone had to do 5 burpees because they didn't know my name, (lol) a "punishment" administered by Riley...had I known I would have announced it to everyone! The class size was bigger than I was used to, but the instructors were still able to make sure my form was correct and I was working out safely. I will definitely return on my next trip to Vancouver. read more

Quality coaching and excellent facilities made my drop in experience an enjoyable one. The coaches made sure to have all members introduce themselves to the newbies. They were clear and concise in all expectations, description of the workouts etc. Very clean and all the equipment you could ask for. Nice job Crossfit 604. read more

Friendly staff and a big venue! The work out almost killed me! Drop in price is high but discounts help. Clean facility and the other folks are very welcoming. Recommended. read more

In from out of town, dropped in to find a friendly, helpful, and challenging community. Really nice coaches and owners. Great overall experience. read more

I drop into a lot of boxes due to business travel, the experience is sometimes disappointing or unpleasant. 604 is a great gym, very friendly people and great coaching. I'd move to Vancouver to join this gym. Thank you Tom and Paul. read more
