I was fortunate to meet two of the owners, Mikey and Tak who were super friendly and oriented me to the circuit. Both of them have backgrounds in martial arts, boxing, etc. The place isn't big and there are no lockers, but it's a great place because the instructors know you by name and they tailor the activity to your level. There is a membership commitment for a year and there is no drop in, but they do allow you to have a free trial workout to see if you like it. There is free side street parking, and the hours are great, mon/tues/ wed/ fri 8;30 am-12:30pm, mon-thurs 3:30-7:30pm, and sat 8-12pm. It's pretty nice if you have work, want to work out, and then head out to a nice dinner. I was so happy to have found this place :)

I moved to the Dunbar location after 10 years at the Yaletown location (Covid regulations meant the high rent in Yaletown wasn't combatable with the new small classes) so this studio was new to me, as were 1/2 the instructors. Its a lovely studio, very clean and pretty. Run by two women, the instructors are also female, the place is very well run and everyone is friendly. The workouts are the best! Low impact, huge core strengthening, focus on individual muscle groups. It's closed down temporarily for Covid but I can hardly wait to go back! Barre Fitness s the BEST barre workout and Barre Dunbar is great.

Be warned though, their contracts are designed to take as much as they can from you and the management is slow to respond and not helpful. I've had and heard many horror stories from this gym. Most recently, my wife has made several attempts to settle a situation with them which is one that should be resolved within minutes, not weeks. Her brother was a member while he was staying in town and cancelled his membership before he left town. They told him he would have to pay the remaining dues on his contract. Fine, so they gave him an account action form and he paid the remaining dues. However, recently they began charging his credit card again. It turns out, they gave him a form to pay dues until the end of his contract term, but they did not actually cancel the membership. Now, they are hiding behind a technicality that there was no cancellation form signed. (Because a customer would be familiar with the paperwork that this business works with, right?). So they say that they require an additional 30 days notice to cancel so that they can charge an extra month on top of the two months that they already charged. Is it easy to fix? Yes, cancel the membership and return the unauthorized charges. How long does that take? About fifteen minutes. Get with the times Gold's Gym...

UPDATE: Everything I listed in my review below was the truth…read morefrom my interaction & experience with The Hot Box Yoga. I have all emails & social media screenshots to back me up in case of any legal dispute. I will not be updating or responding to any further attempts by said biz owner to bicker publicly. After I had posted the original review below, biz owner Chris left a public response, in which he made up lies about our interactions, and posted up my private personal info (full name & Instagram handle). In his response, he was deflecting from the real issue (that they made a mistake with the pass expiry date, said they fixed it, but never did). He did NOT address or mention this mistake in his response at all, instead choosing to focus on an earlier denied pass extension request that I had already accepted was denied. He also stated (for all you future customers) that The Hot Box Yoga Sale passes are for people who "cannot afford" to use their studio at regular prices. His abusive & customer privacy-violating response was flagged & has since been removed by Yelp HQ. In all my very little (3 short emails & 2 Instagram comments in total) communication with The Hot Box Yoga, I have only been polite & stated facts, hoping they would fix the pass expiry mistake they had made. I have never requested for any compensation, nor have I ever expected any from them. When the mistake was never fixed despite my attempts to reach them, I left the review simply to let others know about my personal experience dealing with this studio. I'm sure anyone who sees this will have a better idea of their operations & customer service standards after reading this. - Original review below: Used to be a fan of The Hot Box Yoga for a few years now, but this recent incident has showed me how their operations are and how they treat customers. They made a mistake on a Black Friday sale pass, which wound up expiring two days before the advertised date. Both my friend & I had bought this pass. When I reached out to them via email, the owner Sarah claimed to have fixed the issue, but did not actually do so. As a result, we were unable to book classes on the last 2 days. Upon trying to reach them politely again on social media to get the issue fixed for good, they blocked me. (Funny thing was, they were even following & interacting with me before, because I was always posting positive pics & tweets about their classes & events. My social media followers will know this for a fact.) Issue was never resolved, emails sent were ignored. We were unable to use the remaining classes on our class passes. It is obvious that they did not want to fix the mistake, nor did they want this legit customer issue to be known anywhere public. Terribly disappointed and never returning back here again. Fellow yogis, always be sure to check your pass expiry dates - even if they made a mistake with the dates, they will not fix it!

Their online site is easy to use and at the checkout there was an option for first timers. I chose a 4 pm class but plans changed and we needed the 10am class. Unfortunately I couldn't get ahold of anyone on the phone but read walk ins were welcomed so I figured we'd give it a shot. I was right! We were greeted by Sarah and she kindly welcomed us into the 10am class (which we got there with minutes to spare). She assisted us with mat rentals, water, and reassured my partner that though this was her first time, she'll be fine. Sarah is a great instructor, even helping my partner with some poses. We would absolutely get a membership if we lived here or were even staying longer! Very clean and pleasant. She also suggested taking the scenic route back downtown--which we did. Great experience! Thank you

Side Note: The CBC is running a show called "Village On A Diet" and Mike Veinot, one of the owners at Rep1, is one of the main trainers on the show. Sort of fun, if you want a celebrity trainer, Mike is the guy to ask for :)

The studio has a great buzz of energy and it's a boutique style setting (hip, trendy, clean with bright orange walls and colourful cycling photos). The smaller class size was particularly helpful with the details of proper Yoga poses. I've taken two yoga classes so far (one with Tianne and one with Alan) and they have both been great. I've done a number of different styles of Yoga over the years and I especially enjoyed the classes at Fit Fx because they are specialized toward athletes. I'm not an elite athlete at the moment but attending the yoga classes has helped to stretch out problem areas and muscles that have been tight for years from different sports. In particular, I have a tendency toward tight shoulders and upper legs and in the two classes at Fit fx, I learned variations on Yoga poses that were wildly more effective than I had learned in other Yoga studios. Everyone was so friendly and inspirational that I may actually get caught up in the energy of the full program of classes and get back into training for an event. It was fun to hear the buzz about upcoming races as people were chatting before and after class. I walked out feeling like I'd just had a sports massage and also a workout. I fully recommend it!

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.

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+.
