Iron Throne describes itself as Vancouver's destination gym for powerlifting, weightlifting, and…read morestrongman, and I would say they're pretty right! It's a small gym, but it has everything you'd need as a powerlifter (not so much as great for hypertrophy training). The equipment is wonderful. There are four bench/squat rack stations, dumbbells ranging from 3 to 125lbs, plates ranging from 0.5 to 25kg, one rack of pound plates, chalking stations, two platforms, three deadlift platforms with deadlift jacks, and more. See my pictures! I will say, it's an adjustment going from pounds to kilograms but you get used to it! There are also so many bar clips! Basically more than enough for every station. There's a really great speaker system where you can play music off their tablet or through your phone's Bluetooth. Choosing music is on a first come, first served basis though. Unless you ask around or are doing a personal record attempt. They recently put in a snack machine to replace their fridge--filled with very affordable snacks, protein snacks, and drinks. There are cubbies to put your bags/jackets. There are two washrooms, both toilets equipped with bidets! They also provide feminine products, a weight scale machine, and air freshener. Becoming a member was simple--I bought my membership on their website and then someone contacted me to get my key card set up. I only wanted to go to the gym at 5am, which was still no problem. They are able to set you up to open the gym door with your phone, and then you can pick up your key card at the office desk. The key card is a white credit card-sized card with a sticker label of the gym logo and your name. The gym is 24/7 so you can fit a session in at anytime in your daily schedule. At 5am, the gym is pretty empty. I went once at a peak-ish time and it was pretty full. You may have to wait for someone to finish before you can start your set. Some people also play music way too loud for my liking--bring noise cancelling buds/headphones! The gym has no AC for the summer but there are two large garage doors you can open with large industrial fans. The biggest con to this gym is the price. Paying for one year at this gym is equivalent to paying for about 2.5 years at Fitness World. They also don't grandfather your original pay rate. If the price goes up, it goes up for everyone. But I'm lucky to have such a great local gym in Surrey!

I have now done 3 sessions of hot yoga and I am love love loving it. I held off for years because…read moreI didn't have any friends practising, but now that my cousin is into it, I finally gave'r a try. Outstanding. Hot Yoga is like crossing an infrared sauna with stretches you've never thought of. Topped off with a pretty effective calming effect. I've been going to the 8 am class and it was still dark when I started going in December. The room is lit low. Very mellow. Michael is the absolute best I could have imagined in a Yoga instructor. The dude is the epitome of mellow and gives great instructions. His class has a sweet soundtrack too. If you are on the fence about trying yoga, consider this your OK! Go to West Coast in White Rock, it's totally low key and pretty welcoming!

The change rooms are clean and there is towel service available. In the men's room there is also a sauna and whirlpool. The training rooms get a little busy in the early evening hours after work.

The staff are awesome, always very friendly, helpful and it seems to be family run. One young gent is usually hanging out in the weight room ready to help load up barbells or spot for anyone that needs it. Many of the clients know each other, and chat about training routines and stuff. The best part is: no contracts! Suck on that every other gym in greater Vancouver. They also don't have annoying personal trainers running around trying to sell training packages to people, unlike all of the horrible chain gyms in the area. The only complaint I have about the place is that there are only 2 power cages in the main weight room (yet there are 3 smith machines -.-), this usually isn't an issue at all except during peak times when you might have to wait 10 minutes for one. Bottom line: this is a great gym for people of all fitness levels, and they definitely have a higher range of power lifting equipment. The staff treat you like a human instead of a wallet with legs!
