Did a class here recently thanks to Livelite and wow, it was fantastic! 30 stations x2 with all the instructions on the videos in front. Really got a great sweat on. I was also surprised by how big and well stocked this gym was - it's huge with fantastic equipment. Appreciated the towels and showers as well. read more

Very disappointed. Please avoid this place. First of all the "gym" is in a basement with no windows. Secondly. I was a member for years. When they got new dumbells,. The numbers on the dumbells were in black and hard to see. I have poor vision. So I simply asked them to put labels on the dumbells. What is disturbing is that in a few days they made an excuse and made false accusations against me and terminated my membership. read more

They let me try out the gym. Has a good vibe. I felt energetic. Friendly staff. Fumi was very helpful. Very clever entryway where the stairs are numbered to the top. Very nice detail oriented. read more

Huge shout out to Studeo 55 --- I had an opportunity to be put through the gauntlet of health experts (Naturopath, RMT, Chiropractor, Physiotherapist, dietitian and trainer) to have a complete head-to-toe assessment of my health and fitness. Next stop? The ultimate program to get me to a new level of health. Thanks Nathan Mellalieu for introducing me to this service. If you are in need of any of those services or looking for a one-of-a-kind personal training experience in a boutique health club setting - this is it!

You can do classes, yoga, personal training, and lots of other things. Best parts of the gym: + different themed rooms in the gym (Mixed martial arts room, boot camp room, yoga, dumb bell, etc.) + some of the best personal trainers I have ever worked out with (of course a couple crappy ones) + very goal oriented training (strength, endurance, weight, activity, health and other goals options) + not a lot of people in the gym at once - you don't have to wait for machines - (mostly personal training clients in the gym) + tv displays on the cardio machines + free parking on top of the parking garage (5th floor) + infrared sauna + amenities in the locker room - mouth wash, deodorant, q-tips, hair dryer, lots of towels, + bottle of water and towel supplied for work outs + wii, x-box and tv if you are waiting or cooling down + juice / protein shake bar (~$6) Negatives - most of the locks on lockers in the change room are broken (they are all digital) - one of the 3 showers is usually out of commission - Expensive (personal training ~$70-$90, membership ~$90 monthly, membership & classes ~$130 monthly, one time membership fee ~$200) - elevator from the street to the 5th floor where the gym is locked always smells like urine - could have more cardio machines (ex. only 1 stationary bike) Main clientelle appear to be working professionals. read more

Very spiffy gym for the high-end crowd who doesn't want to be in stuffy gyms lol. Just opened recently, by Law courts. Tour available, starting at $150/month. You definitely get what u pay for---even valet parking, $6! read more

I have been coming to Studeo with a friend of mine for almost 3 years now. The facility is good, there are a lot of different types of workouts and classes offered but the best part about Studeo is their customer service. I have given them a 5 star review because Studeo is the first place I have ever exercised at on a regular basis for this long. If you were like me, trying different classes, facilities and ultimately taking time off from fitness more often than not, give Studeo a try and see if they can't put you on a healthier path. read more

Such a great gym, with a wide variety of classes. The gym itself is large with multiple rooms on various floors and has a very sleek modern decor. Front desk staff are always talkative and seem to enjoy their jobs. All the instructors that I've encountered have been so personable and have all remembered my name or face after one class. You can tell that they are passionate and want to see you push yourself. The gym in itself feels like a family. read more

I have been a committed regular since Studeo 55 helped to prepare me to climb Denali in 2009. Studeo has a very supportive fitness culture among its staff and clients. The personal training is truly personal. Both I and my daughter continue to benefit from programs specifically designed for our fitness levels, athletic pursuits outside the gym and to accommodate any injuries or limitations that might arise. This enables us to constantly push ourselves to the limit without undue risk of injury. I can't imagine going anywhere else. read more

Studeo - The adventure starts here! - Gyms Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

I was a member of Studeo for about a year and a half between 2008-2009. Since then I dropped in on occassion to workout. As of this month they have opened up a new space at 865 Hornby at the space once occupied by the Pantheon Athletic Club. They were formerly at 1114 Alberni, but you'll see now that that entire lot is being torn down (likely for office or condo building I bet). But if you ever visited the old Pantheon Athletic Club, don't for one second think it looks like that. Totally different, and completely renovated. And clean. It looks like a swank hotel lounge. You have all the amenities, towel service, water bottles, clean private showers. Easily the prettiest gym you'll ever visit. More importantly there is a tight community there. People know your name, and are very friendly. At the same time, no one is trying to sell you extra services (some gyms trainers will talk to you to try to get you to train with them, but there is no such pressure here). It can be a huge motivator to have people around you with similar fitness goals. Of course you get what you pay for. With the new space, I believe memberships went up, and sit at $160 a month for unlimited classes. This sounds like a lot, but if you did Crossfit for example, you'd find that prices at other Crossfit "boxes" to be similar, and unlike those boxes, Studeo operates under normal gym hours (at the boxes, you come in only when there are classes scheduled), and doesn't look or smell like a warehouse. As for the other classes, with the exception of Urban Detox (their signature circuit class on Saturdays), you will always get a ton of personal attention because they are so small. For example, you'll often find yourself in a Yoga class with an instructor and maybe 2 other members. Anyway, if you go enough as a member, it could be worth your while. I aimed for 15-20 times a month, so it was basically less than $10 a visit. I couldn't give Studeo five stars for a few reasons. First, I can't afford it right now. If you can, go for it. Second, while they have done great things with their current space, their old space was amazing - it felt more like a jungle gym play space and most notably had natural lighting coming in from the windows - the new club does not have natural lighting and feels closer to a conventional fitness club (though still in many ways unique). Third, they are closed on Sundays, a change that took place I believe in 2009. That is at least 4 fewer days open a month than most places. Fourth, the parking situtaion was better in the old space - if you came at the right times, parking could be free (though technically it should not have been). Nowadays I think it will be $6 or so for valet at their building lot, and a little less if you park it yourself. On top of that, someone has to walk you back down to get your back into their parking lot, which seems terribly inconvenient. As a result, people are just looking for parking elsewhere and walking over. Finally, the club has frequent turnover of trainers. The entire roster save for one trainer (excluding the owner and manager) have left since I started including the trainers I credit most with my progress, Darren Beattie for strength training (see his blog: http://artofweightlossblog.com/) and Jason Van Montfoort for nutrition. So if you have money, live or work downtwn (so parking doesn't matter), plan to come often (other than on Sundays) and appreciate working out with a community that would certainly motivate you, this is the place for you. I encourage you to at least see the place for yourself. read more

Studeo 55 is definitely the best gym in Vancouver. The prices are affordable if you compare what you get for. In other gyms only Crossfit will cost more than at studeo 55 membership. They also have awesome chiropractor, nutritionist, physiotherapist and registered massage therapist. The concept of the gym is being healthy as whole and get the best of ourselves, not someones body. Since I am there, around 5 month I have learned a lot. The atmosphere there is amazing and everyone knows you by your name and they truly care about us (at least thats how I feel ). My back was pretty bad and my self steam was even lower, they helped me with that too. Personal trainer was amazing, I only bought a couple sessions and there is no pressure on that, I am going to start my on ramp this week for Crossfit and I cant wait. Ok so some important points: They do charge a small initiation fee but they give you assessments with all crew and its definitely worst the money. Membership depends if you want personal training or not, treatments and all. Parking is free when you are doing treatments or personal training. If you do personal training 3 times per week you dont pay membership. The price of PT is same as other gyms I have been so its an awesome deal, trust me. Finally, they have a cool place to make shakes for you and a bunch of classes. I am definitely in love with this place and recommend to everyone. read more

Hands down the best crossfit box in the city. After shopping around for months waiting to pull the trigger on one I finally did @ Studeo55 and haven't looked back. Tons of classes including spin, crossfit, and others, first class shower facilities, towel and water bottle service, excellent coaching, and can't forget... the staff and members. All amazing people. read more

Best space to get healthy, hands down. I have been to all locations and staff are always amazing!

Great programing and great facility. the coaches are very knowledgeable and kind, especially to new members. They offer a variety of classes throughout the day, which makes it easy to attend as member! There is no parking; you'll have to find street parking, which is the only downside but otherwise great facility. read more

Terrific gym with personable, highly skilled trainers. A wide range of classes to choose from that are unique and extremely challenging. Excellent layout, clean, inviting. Cost is high but in line with the services offered. Highly recommended. read more

Cool space. Love tabata and dirty 30 class with Katie! RMT with Theron is game changing.

Last month I got introduced to Studeo 55 through a friend and it was honestly the best thing that could've happened to my fitness and health goals. I was struggling with losing weight and getting into a workout routine until I met with Nathan (trainer and owner). He helped me really get clear about my goals and set an action plan. For the month he had me doing workouts with him, and attending a variety of amazing classes that they have at Studeo 55. They have classes for everyone (Kabata time, urban detox, cardio kickboxing, crossfit to name a few - all of which I loved. If you're looking for a solid butt kick i would check out the Urban Detox (killer workout). Over the last month all the trainers were extremely helpful and supportive. It felt great going into the gym because I know everyone that is working out at Studeo 55 are working towards something - I hated going to a gym and it feel like a big meat market. Over the past month with Nathan's assistance and the trainers at Studeo 55 I was able to lose 10 lbs and 3.5 inches from my waist. I feel blessed to have found this place and can't imagine working out anywhere else. If you're serious about your fitness I would highly recommend giving them a call!! read more

I am a local Fireman and competitive athlete and spend on average 5 or more days a week in the gym. For me, finding an environment that I am comfortable working out in that I enjoy spending my time at is a must. Over the years I have tried everything from cheaper priced community centers to common branded gyms such as Fitness World as well as high-end outfits such as Studeo 55, where I have been working out at for the past 2 years. And I can definitely assure you that Studeo 55 is an experience not to be missed and I feel that the least I can do is share my positive experience at Studeo 55 on here with you. The biggest problems I have found attending gyms over the years are that knowledgeable staff were in short supply or not even available, equipment at the gyms were very limiting to the exercises you were able to preform (such as not having proper olympic weights for lifts, not enough free weights, or only one squat rack, etc), classes offered by the gyms were very generic and limited, and that the atmosphere of the gyms were very impersonal and that I was just another number. I can assure you that at Studeo 55 this is not the case. Of course the membership at Studeo 55 is a more expensive than some of the other gyms I have tried, but you are definitely getting your money's worth and the facility shines in comparison to any other gym I have attended. For starters, the first thing you will notice is the reception you receive from Chad and the staff at the front desk when you walk through the doors. Always friendly and always helpful, I frequently find myself talking about my weekend with Chad at the front desk. My experiences with Nathan (owner and trainer), as well as some of the other trainers I have worked with such as Jeremy, and Jason have all been positive and have left me coming out of my sessions with a better understanding of training and more effective ways to reach the goals I desired. That's not to say that there are not trainers who are less experienced, which there are. But even they have proved to be very helpful and if they were ever unsure about something, they always found someone who was able to answer my questions. At Studeo you will find a large array of areas to work out. There are 6 large open rooms from two weight rooms with free weights, squat racks and machines, two martial arts rooms which include heavy bags and speed bags, a yoga studeo, a dance studeo, and even including a Cross-Fit room (where yes, they have olympic weights you can drop to prevent injury, and all the other basic crossfit gear from med balls to kettle bells). The classes at studeo are varied and always changing assuring you to keep from getting bored. If your looking for a hardcore workout there is the crossfit classes, or if your just looking to do a quick but still challenging workout there's classes like tabata time and urban detox. Overall the biggest thing I have come to appreciate (outside of the great facility), is the staff. That is what truly sets this gym apart from others. So if you are looking for a warm fun atmosphere to work out in with great knowledgeable staff, look no further. read more

I joined Studeo 55 last September after receiving rave reviews from my friends who worked out there. This was a wise move on my part as I can attest with certainty that my life has changed for the better as a result of joining this community. The facility, itself, is inviting but it is the staff that works there that truly embodies the spirit of the company. Upon entry, you are greeted by friendly faces who have a vested interest in ensuring that your experience is amazing. The trainers push and encourage you in a motivating way so that you genuinely wish to perform better and exert every effort possible. At my old gym, I used to reluctantly work out fully knowing that if I failed to show for a few weeks, no one would notice or even care. This is clearly not the case at Studeo where you get to know the staff as well as the patrons who frequent the premises. This is a gym whose core competence rests in cultivating a fun and challenging environment through personal relationships and amazing employees. I cannot say enough positive things about Studeo except that if you are not a member, you are absolutely missing out!!! read more

At heart, I'm not really a "gym" person. I don't LOVE to exercise and can definately be a procrastinator. Studeo 55 actually makes me want to get up off my tush and go to the gym. The environment is friendly, the staff are very supportive and the classes are awesome! You can take everything from martial arts and boxing to yoga and barre to crossfit. The trainers are some of the best in the city. They know how to motivate you to get you to push yourself to the next level of achievement. All the cardio equipment have their own personal TV's, there's bottle and towel service and other great perks. This is a gym like no other. It's culture is inspiring and makes you want to achieve your fitness goals more than ever before. If you are shopping for a new gym, ya gotta check out Studeo 55. Nothing else will compare. read more

I was able to do a boxing class, and it was terrific. Studeo is not like any other gym. It's beautiful, the coaches are lovely, and the people are great! I 100% recommend to anyone wanting a good work out in a fun, and encouraging environment! read more

Terrible service and extremely disorganized. I was overcharged and still have a balance on my account. I have been emailing and calling for over 2 months and still haven't gotten any response or even an apology from management. read more

I liked this place in the beginning, but the general manager, Matt, has shown so much rudeness and incompetence that I am never going back. Between taking forever to reply, and making mistakes without apologizing, I've had enough. Such a shame because the foundational instructors were caring and great instructors. read more

This is the best gym in the city. A great selection of classes & personal training sessions. The coaches are awesome, motivating & help you get results! Super easy to book and keep schedule with the mind body app. They also have in house physio, RMT, chiro & parking. A bit more expensive than other gyms but worth it! read more

After having taken a weekly class offered by Studeo55 through my workplace, I went ahead and let them automatically bill my credit card for each monthly membership fee. Big mistake! After taking the course for about 3 months, I was unable to attend the classes and asked them to end my membership. They told me that they had already billed me for the next month and that it was too late to cancel for that month. Okay fine, I let them have that one last payment. Skip ahead two months later and I find that they had charged me again for the classes, even though I am no longer employed at that workplace, I find that they have been continuing to bill my credit card automatically for two months. I quickly tracked down the Studeo55 number for that particular gym billing me and got in touch with their associates. I explained to them that I had quit my membership for that class and that they have continued to bill me. The associate said they would quickly cancel the automatic billing and will reimburse me for the months they unauthorizedly charged. Jump ahead another 2 months and guess what? These A$$holes are still billing me! Either they are hard of hearing, forgetful, stupid or operating under the guise of scam artists! Living up to the stigma and reinforcing that negative image of gym operating memberships, it's another example of why I or anyone else should not join gym memberships. I've since cancelled my credit card and looking into how I can get my money back. read more

From the moment you open the door to Studeo55 you realize this is not like any other gym. The music awakens your soul, the space inspires movement, and the staff are ready to take you to your personal best. If you want to box, dance, shoot hoops, try Cross Fit, perform yoga or just get your butt kicked the options are endless. Studeo55 is committed to their clientele; the friendly atmosphere fosters an environment that propels you to your next level of greatness. As a member for the past 4 years I have accomplished many goals but the exciting part about Studeo, is that they keep encouraging me to aim higher. read more

When I first moved to Vancouver I did the rounds of a couple of Crossfit gyms downtown . Initially I was very impressed with Studio55; the facilities, changing rooms, gym size etc. Who wouldn't be impressed when you see the money that was obviously invested in it.. that being said I made the going out with the best looking girl opposed to the the one that would enable me get the best results from my training!! Firstly the ratio of coaches to participants in the class was awful and on occasions they had stand in apprentices who clearly weren't up to speed on the movements and being honest actually looked out of shape. The warm up for every class I attended over the first 3 months regardless of what the focus of the WOD or strength/conditioning was exactly the same.. which is testament to the amount of preparation that goes into planning the classes. The head coach was clearly an excellent coach but is was very difficult to get any individual attention with the classes being so over sized. I have since been introduced to a new gym downtown and been a very happy member for the past 3 months of and got me to get my faith back in crossfit and how is should be taught. If you are looking for a "globo gym'' this is the place for you.. but if you're looking for more fundamental crossfit culture and education I would advise looking else where.. do your research as we are all aware it is a big commitment! read more

Okay, full disclosure. I'm past my prime. I'm 45 years old and I'm never going to be as athletic as I was 20 years ago. It sucks. Over the years I worked out at all types of places. Fancy places, crossfit gyms, family clubs and so on. The weights got boring. It was hard to find a trainer who would push me - but not kill me. Studeo is by far the best place I've ever worked out at. When I joined I was in the worst shape of my life and I had an injury. The RMT and the health team worked together to help me get in shape, lose some weight and rehab my injured hip. The facility is great. Very different than any place I've been to before. The people there make this place great. They get to know you. I enjoy being there. I workout because it helps me be both physically and mentally healthy. The better I feel, the more confident I feel and that helps me be better at work too. I'm very happy with Studeo Gyms. Now all I need to do is to cut out drinking beer and I'll be ripped. : ) read more

For years I had paid into a gym membership but found myself never making the time to get there. I realized that the gym I "belonged" to was impersonal; so I cancelled the gym membership and joined Studeo 55. My journey started in December 2010 and since this time I have had a wonderful trainer/mentor who has taught me the key elements of getting fit and strong; not only physically but mentally. My weight loss has been consistent and this is because the trainer at Studeo 55 took the time to share what he is passionate about and gave me the tools to use to stay focused and committed. There is a real sense of community at Studeo 55 not only with the staff team but your team mates. I walk out of there feeling encouraged each and every time. All the trainers are passionate about what they do and this shows in the variety of classes and training sessions (Crossfit, MMA, Yoga, Group Classes and much more). There are many different rooms to use and the space is aesthetically pleasing. I think if you are reading this review that you should come and check it out for yourself. Studeo 55 has changed my life and I feel amazing! read more
