The masters and instructors are very helpful. The kids have fun. They gain self-confidence and discipline. Adult classes are great as well. We get a good workout, learn self-defense techniques and fun way to keep fit. Ask them for a free trial lesson.

AMAZING place to learn Tae Kwon Do and keep fit. My children have been students of Master Kook for…read moreyears, first at their North Shore location, and now at their beautiful, spacious, bright, new East Van location. They offer classes for all levels and all ages and do everything they can to make you comfortable. Head Instructor, Master Woo, is kind, patient, crazy-amazing at TKD and FUNNY...the kids all gravitate to him, but also respect him at the same time (I have kept my kids in line with the simple phrase "What would Master Woo say right now?"). He is so good at what he does: keeping his students (young and old) motivated, keeping classes fun and informative, and instilling core values of discipline and respect. How he keeps a class of 20-25 children in check is beyond me, but he does it! Another gem is Program Director, GRACE! She is so good at making you feel welcome and at-home. She always has a smile on her face (it lights up the entire room) and she is always ready to do what she can to make your experience a good one, including swapping pants with you when your own pants are too short, so you don't feel like a complete moron (ahem, that was ME) during class. This is just one example of the many, many, things that Grace does to show you that she cares and wants you to be comfortable when you train. Everyone here, not just Master Woo and Grace, are fantastic instructors, each bringing their own uniqueness to how they teach. Never a dull moment, lots of laughs, being in better shape and a new extended family is what you will get if you train here. Can't say enough about how amazing everyone is!

Master Kim set the standard and along with his other instructors provided a great mix of discipline, good instruction, and yet somehow made it engaging and fun without lowering the standard. I watched my son and nephews gain confidence, strength, self-control and a discipline that helped to make them strong and self-reliant. My son and I went to black belt together. I've stayed with the school and just last December achieved my 3rd Dan black belt. I'm the oldest student there, but I can say that Taekowndo has taken me out of my comfort zone many times, and that has built my confidence and helped to keep me physically young for my age. I've watched many youngsters grow up in this school and have seen them grow strong, confident and yet respectful. I highly recommend this school to anyone contemplating a traditional martial art!

With the full gym, pool, lockers, and cafe, it's no wonder why the Village People sang praises…read moreabout this place! My sister and I went on a short trip and wanted to make sure we stayed in shape while away from home. We came in fully expecting to pay a few bucks for day passes but we were pleasantly surprised with a free pair of 12 day passes! The gym itself had three full squat racks. THREE! My sister and I had no problem finding a free rack. And of course it had all the other things typical to a gym-- free weights machines etc etc. But what did it for me was the full kettlebell set! I love kettlebells and was ecstatic to be able to do my kettlebell exercises at the YMCA as well. After our workout, we had yummy protein shakes as recovery drinks. Perfect end to a great gym session. I recommend this gym to anyone who's going to be visiting downtown Vancouver for any amount of time.

The facility itself for the gym is great because there are a lot of machines you can use as well as good selection of classes to access as well depending on your needs and preference of working out. And for those parents that needed some socialising time could come by the family development centre to either be there with their kids for the programs or drop them off for child minding if they needed to use the gym.

Combination of arrogant and unattentative instructors make this place very, extremely, fucking…read moreannoying unwelcoming. Walked in with my child for a trial and no one greets us or asks who we are - that's fine... until wait NO ONE asked us if we joining the class or not. We just stood on the sideline for the duration of class without one instructor coming by to invite us to join. Or just acknowledge us. Instead they assumed we were spectators? TF I can't expect much with high schoolers trying to teach and trying to warm up new students. It's not a skill set possessed by many young adults but have the modicum of awareness to know you have someone new there. You can attempt to be a little inviting. You get none of that here. You can say it could have been an anomaly but I have been here twice with the same type of experience. Go somewhere else.
