It's my first time getting a personal coach, and I'm thankful I did! Coach Seb did an amazing job introducing me to fitness, familiarizing me with gym machines, and setting up an appropriate exercise program for a beginner like me. Coach Seb was not just a coach, he became a friend and somewhat of a therapist ---- he ensured that I was mentally prepared and ready to start my exercises. He gave me helpful nutrition tips and he was always just a text away when I have questions. I highly recommend Coach Seb, he is not intimidating at all especially for gym beginners like me! He gave full support in starting my fitness journey. Happy to be part of Anytime Fitness Burnaby!

I've worked out here many times, through using classpass for gym sessions. This is a real gym, not one of those fake community center gyms where there is absolutely no gym energy. There's 3 levels, upstairs cardio, main floor weights, bottom floor fitness room and lockers. I like this gym because there's a big variety of weights and it's not too packed when I go in the mornings. Also, the staff here is sooo friendly, and I'm new so I appreciate that. The gym is clean, and organized. Definitely plan to come back here again and again.

Not only has he helped me get stronger and more fit but my injury has improved dramatically. Seeing Tim weekly keeps me on track and focused on being healthy. Tim is well educated, positive, kind, understanding, supportive and very reliable. He pushes me to work hard during my workouts and ensures that I am doing the exercises in the right way so I do not hurt myself. I would 100% recommend Tim to anyone looking for a great trainer who truly cares about your health and well being.

In these uncertain times, it can be challenging to stick to your own workout plan and keep yourself accountable, especially since you can't see anyone. I've tried many virtual workouts, Fit Factory, Greco, City Shred, and Dyer. So far Dyer has been my favourite as they incorporate some weight training and it feels more resistance based than most. I was so pleased with the workouts, that I did do a small donation (probably the equivalent of 1/2 to 1/3 of a month's membership fee). If you are tired of pure cardio and have some weights at home, I'd definitely recommend.

I can't speak to the…read morefitness classes, only the yoga ones, and I know it's a little less conventional than your typical yoga-only joint which is actually why it gets 3 stars and not 2. Now, I did check this place out on a Groupon because yoga ain't cheap, but I can't see myself returning once it expires. Pros: Close to home. For me, at least. I often have no vehicle so this is an epic win. The instructors are super nice. Zero pretentiousness at all - a wonderful, albeit relatively rare virtue in Vancouver's yoga culture. They are also really fantastic at adding modifications for more advanced students to continue moving forward in their practice. Also a win! Doable for beginners and more challenging for the pros. Mat cleaner for all! Smells soooo good and a lovely provision. Cons: The noise. It's loud. People talk in the hot room. A lot. Maybe i'm a bit of a purist, but I don't love that. To me It's a place for calm. The music is often too loud or inappropriate for a yoga class. Again, totally fine for fitness classes...but not yoga. The floors. They are sort of made of this dense gym mat material. Great if you bail! Terrible for stability. The etiquette. As if the talking in class isn't bad enough, people bring cell phones to their mats. And they DO RING. To my knowledge, this wasn't addressed by the teacher (and the woman did not apologize). People enter the room late. People leave class early. The 15 minute window between classes makes for a rushed experience, effectively defeating the purpose of why I practice (just a personal thing, really). The space. There is none. Literally. Some cubby holes to put your stuff in near the front door and everyone is constantly tripping over each other. Lack of facilities. There is none. There is one bathroom and a staff bathroom. No change rooms. No showers. No lockers. Literally nowhere to change with 15 people coming and another 15 going at all times. I'm all for just the basics, no frills kinda stuff, don't get me wrong. But I am sure glad I only paid Groupon price for this experience. I may be able to overlook everything if this was a "you get what you pay for" situation. But the regular prices are on par with pretty much everywhere else - and everywhere else (I won't name names) tends to provide a much better overall experience.

Most are only from 9:30am, which is the start of their last morning class, so you'll need to factor more time in the morning to look for space. Parking is a bit of an issue as I couldn't find parking and ended up arriving at the door at 9:30am for the 9:30am class, and they had already locked the door. I understand that you don't want to disturb the class, but that didn't stop them from letting someone open the door to the classroom before the end of the class. My recommendation is to have the 9:30am class start at 9:35 so that there's parking. Nice things: they have spray bottles for cleaning your matt.

The changing rooms were getting heavy use the day were there, considering that they were also clean. We used the family changing area and it was a little crowded, probably could have sent my husband and son off to the men's room. However we did have a shower and dedicated changing area after only a few minutes of waiting. The leisure pool was plenty big for the people there that Sunday. The toddler loved the easy entrance and stairs to get in and out and there were lots of floats around for the kids to play with! The older child (8) loved the slide. Yes it is short, but there was also no line at all and it was very fun with spirals and dips. Probably I would just shower the kids and towel them off next time (instead of trying to change them into dry clothes with the wet floor), but definitely worth it!

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.
