I've been climbing here on and off for years but I've finally decided to review this place. I came…read morehere today (02.15.2026) with my Japanese friend who was climbing for the first time. Layla helped us out and helped my friend with her orientation. She was very nice and took her time explaining things to her. Layla was overall very pleasant and lovely that I had to leave a review for this place. I've been to 20+ climbing gyms over the span of 10+ years but she was easily one of the best staff I've encountered. Aside from that, I love the sets and the feet washing station they offer. Overall a great place for all levels!

THIS IS A REVIEW FOR THE HIVE PORT COQ - Can't find the location on Yelp…read more We were excited to visit The Hive Coquitlam as a family, but unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. My wife and I brought our 8-month-old baby with us -- obviously too young to climb or even walk. We were simply hoping to enjoy a relaxed session while taking turns climbing and keeping our baby nearby. Initially, we had our baby sitting quietly on the mat near the back traverse wall, which was not in use. We held him up briefly against a hold to take a photo (he can't climb or even stand on his own). A staff member approached us and said our baby couldn't touch the holds unless we paid for him, which felt unnecessary but we complied. He also told us the baby was ALLOWED to sit on the mat. Later, we moved to the Kilter Board area -- again, with no other climbers present -- and continued taking turns climbing while our baby sat beside us. A different staff member came over and told us babies are not allowed on the mat at all. When we mentioned what the first staff member said, she simply responded that she didn't know why he would say that. We felt like we were being shuffled around and treated as an inconvenience, despite being respectful and careful not to disrupt anyone. What was most frustrating was the inconsistent information from staff -- it left us confused and unwelcome. If The Hive has specific policies about infants in the facility, that's understandable. But those policies should be clear, consistent, and communicated respectfully. Sadly, this experience left us feeling that young families are not welcome here.

My go-to gym for the summer time. Right by the water and great view of the water and the mountains…read more Pros: - friendly staff - front and rear gym balconies - spacious between equipment - pull-down lat/core ski-ergo machine Note: - no TVs (unlike mt. Pleasant cc) - it's a smaller gym compared to mt. Pls, but that means less ppl - free parking is past 2nd Ave, otherwise it's all metered parking around the cc

Thinking of moving into the area, so came here to check out how good the weight room is. The only…read moregood thing about it is that the views are amazing on a sunny day. If you don't live in the area, it's very close to the Main Street skytrain station (about a 2 min walk). Pros: - 2 areas specifically for deadlifting - 1 barbell pad (I need this for barbell hip thrust) - beautiful view of False Creek / Science World - new cable machines - there's an assisted pullup machine - spacious stretching area - they have large lockers (the long ones) - there's an ab wheel Cons: - no smith machine (!!!! What???) - no hip abduction machine - only 4 benches. Bonsor is similar in size and has at least 6 - it's a small gym - some asshole didn't put back the weights in one of the deadlifting area (325lbs). No f-in way am I reracking that. - the only extra barbells are the 2 in the deadlifting area. The other 2 are in the squat rack. At Bonsor, they have 6+ extra barbells that's in addition to the ones in the squat racks and bench press. Won't be going here again, not really worth the price of admission.

Many of the facilities are shared with the local Pine Tree High School, and also used by Douglas College. Feels, so far, the community is just managing the level of activities and population growth, perhaps on the verge of bursting at its seams. Overall, it is well utilized and well run.

Its not bad but it can be quite stuffy inside. In the nest there is the climbing wall, which is why I was there basically.

Finally the elusive "UBC Athletics and Recreation" fee that we pay every year in our tuition is…read morebeing reflected in services. The prices for registering for intramurals have gone down (a student team for Day of the Longboat used to be $160, now it's $100), and the Birdcoop prices have gone down to $25 per semester. Unfortunately, that also means that the Birdcoop is more crowded. However, I do enjoy the lower intramural prices. UBC Rec also has summer activities like day hikes, on which I attempted to go on and this is the majority of the reason why my rating is so low. Me and 2 friends signed up for a Squamish Chief day hike and drove all the way from Burnaby to UBC, where we were to meet the guide and the rest of the group at 7am (we woke up at 5am). There were two guides, 1 who met us at UBC and drove the minibus and the other we were supposed to pick up in N. Van. The guide driving, as we drove over the Lion's Gate, ran over a construction pylon and just said (when we looked freaked out/bewildered like "WTF was that?"), "oh.. I guess I must have taken out an orange cone! oh well.." Then we picked up the guide, filled up gas (the guide didn't even get out to check if the mini bus was okay after hitting the cone), and went on our way. About 3-5 km on to the highway, the minibus putters out and the guide pulls over on Hwy 1. And then she realizes... "oh, I didn't realize I was supposed to fill it with diesel!" Yeah.... we all had to hike back on Hwy 1 to the nearest exit to catch a translink bus back to UBC where I parked my car, then drive back to Burnaby. It was a fun morning. The guide that led us back showed little regard for my group since we decided not to continue with them and hike Grouse. She didn't even cover our bus fare back to UBC (she covered the others'). At least they later refunded my money fully and the bus fare.

My company had its third semi-annual curling team building event at the Coquitlam Sports Centre…read more The curling facilities here are really nice. The ice is kept up very well even with all the pebbling that is supposed to be there. Curling may look boring to watch on tv and it is, but it is a lot of fun to get out and do it. Between falling down and laughing at everyone's terrible skills you will have a lot of fun. This is a very affordable place to get a group out curling. We have staff and spouses out and it does not break the bank. The sports centre also has a hockey rink with an Olympic sized ice. The sports centre has a cafeteria that overlooks the hockey rink and has a licenced lounge area overlooking the curling rink that can be rented out for after curling/hockey dinners and celebrations.
