This is a high end gym located on Pacific in the Vancouver House complex near the Granville St bridge. I had a free trial pass, but was always curious about it. The gym is a bit unique in that apparently it's all fitness classes rather than a gym with equipment that is self serve plus classes. I tried the pilates class, which simulated using the reformer, without actually using a reformer. It would have been cooler had they actually done this class with the reformer equipment. Nonetheless, the teacher was very friendly and approachable, with some interesting moves I had not seen elsewhere. All equipment was provided, which was convenient. The studio, however, was smaller than average so people had to be spaced a bit close. Comparatively, the boxing class, has a much larger studio, at least double the size. The aesthetic at this gym is sci-fi, very cavernous, like a cross between a bat cave and star trek. It does not seem like an efficient use of space and they could have used that square footage of the lobby area for bigger fitness studio or a bigger bank of lockers. The bathrooms have lots of showers and free amenities like shampoo and body wash. The showers have a good draining design that seems to prevent a gross accumulation of hair. However, I would rate the amenities as slightly above average as I would have liked to have seen more. Service was good but not above and beyond. I will say that they do not harass you about joining, which is nice. My overall expectations for this gym were high because of the cost of membership and drop in classes. For the price point, I think there are bigger and better options downtown. This gym is competing in a premium class and I think they need to step it up because their number one rival offers significantly more amenities, bigger facilities, and more fitness class options for the same or possibly even cheaper. On the plus side, a gym is needed in this neighbourhood.

This is a fantastic gym!…read more The owner, Greg, is very approachable. I moved to Vancouver about a year ago and he was very helpful in getting the administrative side of my account changed. Greg is frequently in the club, often working out with his son! The club has very nice equipment and there is plenty to choose from; For cardio there are Bikes (both recumbent and upright), elliptical, ergs, stair steppers, treadmills, and more. For lifting there are free weights, various isolation machines, multiple squat racks, kettle bells, smith machine, and more. If you're into Plyo there is an entire studio of equipment you can use. Some of the more niche gear like a hack-squat is missing, but if you're well seasoned at the gym or ask an anytime trainer, there are plenty of other exercises that work similar muscles. I will say, there is a rush hour, on no fault of the gym. It's not unmanageable, but if you're an introvert the right after work time might not be right for you. All other times, especially early mornings are quite manageable. A month or so ago my workouts were more sluggish than ever, and I remembered what it felt like to really kill a workout, so I made an appointment for a personal trainer--Lucy! Lucy has a great repertoire of exercises--every workout with her is motivating and I am always completely drenched in sweat! With Lucy I have gained confidence not only in my physical abilities by emotionally. She's the true definition of a COACH. If you're looking for a reasonably priced, clean gym with a great location (just off the SkyTrain), I highly recommend this gym!

This is no ordinary Anytime Fitness! I lived upstairs the building so naturally, I signed up. I…read moretake training quite seriously and was looking for a gym that was open 24 hours and had decent equipment, so this fit the bill perfectly. I came to this location for 2.5 years and loved it. Equipment was always clean, and if it was ever down, it was never down for over a week. Maintenance and cleanliness were top-notch were a gym. There were more than enough accessories such as foam rollers and workout bands, etc. as well. The staff are incredibly friendly and always greet you if you're in during their hours. There's always personal training available to you and my favorite part is that they're busy, but never ABSOLUTELY packed like other gyms have been. I've since walked into many, many Anytime Fitness locations and this one is by FAR the cleanest, best-run location I've ever seen. I would come back here in a heartbeat. I really can't complain about anything at this location! Even the clientele at this location is super respectful, which made my experience at the gym a lot more comfortable. The ONLY downfall is that it's a bit pricey, but this isn't exactly location-dependent; the entire chain charges $50~/month+.

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.

Tons of different classes available for those who enjoy the group fitness atmosphere. Classes…read moreinclude: kettle bell training, yoga, spinning, crossfit, boot-camp, circuit training and more. 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. Martina is super nice (although she may look intimidating), water and towels are also available. Equipment is all brand new and really nice. 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

I go to workout on my own and use the sauna. Both are fine for my needs. I go as often as possible…read moreduring non-peak hours and it's rare for me to not be able to access the equipment I need, but on weekends and right after work it can get crowded. I love the fact that this is a ladies-only facility. I tried Gold's Gym and felt very out of place there. This is a warm and non-threatening environment and the front desk ladies are always awesome and helpful. The only thing of note is that the music/microphone volume in the classes is unnecessarily loud but the last couple of times I've been there it seemed quieter, so maybe they've recently addressed this. Overall, great little facility in a convenient location. I hope it's there for some time to come.

They make your life too didicult if you decide to stop your registration…read more Poorly designed website and mobile application. You can not even see your bill receipts. you have to send a request and wait for ever and they may get back to you or may not. To be able to see your bill you have to provide a membership number which is in an agreement which was once mailed to you. There is no other way to get that agreement. You cannot easily freeze your payment and you have to you HAVE TO go to a club physically to cancel your registration. They technically steal from your pocket and in this busy life where every thing is online you can hardly do any thing to stop them.
