Did a month of partner personal training with my fiance. It was great! I had a consultation with a trainer and talked about my goals. We did three times a week, which comes to $63 per session per person ($378 for a week for both of us). Each week, we did upper, lower, and cardio/hiit. Pro tip: if you do delegated training (aka your PT follows a clinical plan put together by the in house physio), you can claim it through your insurance. Delegated training is 1 on 1, not partner training though. Pilates also counts too! read more

I came to True Conditioning with a few sports and age-related injuries, hoping to recover and rebuild my strength so I could enjoy my sports and improve my overall quality of life. I really appreciated how the TRX workouts could always be modified to my needs. Within a month I was seeing real results and have never looked back. Almost two years later, I feel like I am at my fittest and bonus, trimmest ever! This is a welcoming place with all ages and fitness levels. I especially appreciate the instructors who somehow get me to give it all I've got while practicing good form and staying injury-free. read more

I kept seeing a friend posting on Facebook about her workouts at True Conditioning. After years of being inactive I knew something had to change. Little did I know how much things would change after meeting Sophie! I originally began training with Sophie at the beginning of July 2019 with the thought of working out for 8 weeks over the summer and seeing "what happens". By mid-July I was hooked and now I am starting my fourth month of working out and see no end in sight. I do two personal training sessions per week with Sophie and one group class per week. Everyone I have met at True Conditioning is so friendly - and by everyone I mean their RMT, their physio, all of their trainers, and the other clients who work out. Hats off to Sophie for putting together an amazing team. Sophie is amazing. I am constantly surprised by, with Sophie's encouragement, how much I am able to achieve during our personal training sessions. Sophie is a master! She has changed my life from the inside out. I take vitamins, drink protein shakes, and have a much healthier diet thanks to Sophie. As well, she has helped me uncover the secret to weight loss (it's diet and exercise). If you're thinking you need to make change, this is a change you won't regret. read more

I was so excited when this gym opened up in Steveston and I am even more excited that it's totally awesome! The space is super bright and energizing! The owners, Sophie and Ryan, are so warm and welcoming. They provide a friendly, educated and non threatening atmosphere. I dig it! My favorite classes are Circuit, TRX and Yoga Tune Up. I can't wait to try all the classes and I look forward to seeing this great gym grow :) read more

Didn't look like much from the outside so I went inside to check it out, and see if I could get a few questions answered. I walked in and the space looks clean and bright. No one was at reception so I stood awkwardly by the front for a few mins. I noticed a few staff in the back talking while looking at me. No greeting. I said Hi and asked if they were opened. The guy responded with something snarky and made no movement to ask if I needed any help. The woman beside him laughed and didn't provide any help either. Yeah.. no thanks! read more

I happened to pick up a flyer for True Conditioning's Grand Opening of their new location while I was shopping at Lululemon a few months ago, and was intrigued, having dabbled in TRX in the past. I bought an introductory Groupon in April, and really haven't looked back, and try to get there at least three times a week if my schedule permits. Friendly and knowledgeable instructors, super challenging classes, great facilities and convenient scheduling make this a fitness win for me. For those who don't know, TRX is a suspension training fitness system where you use your own body weight as a form of resistance. And yep, it can be as hard as it sounds. What's great about it is that you can really modify each exercise to an intensity level that suits you, whether you want to level up, or take things down a notch (life note: ALWAYS LEVEL UP). I personally find classes that are an entire hour on the suspension trainers to be a bit boring - what's great is that True Conditioning offers a variety of classes that incorporate cardio and other strength training elements to give you a real variety. I'm a big fan of the Circuit 360 class - 10 or so stations that you rotate through 3 times, reminds me in a good way of high school gym class - and also the lethal Tabata, that always makes me want to simultaneously cry and jump for joy when I'm finished it. There are classes focused just on core, there is a beginner's class for people wanting to focus on their technique, and there are often one-off workshops that allow you to use the trainers in a new way (I really enjoyed TRX yoga, for instance). I've done all of them, and they're all hard, yo. Don't expect to have an easy workout here. You will be sweating, alot. And it's goooooood. I've taken classes with almost all the trainers (sorry Rhonda, one of these days I'll get up early!) and while they all have unique personalities, there are a few characteristics that Sophie, Ryan, Pilar and Kristina all share. They're welcoming, encouraging, and also uncompromising: they want you to work hard, they know you can, and they aren't going to let you settle for less. Other important "gym considerations": the workout facilities are brand spankin' new, always super clean, class sizes are limited so you never feel crowded, and parking is generally easy. However there are no showering facilities, just one washroom that can double as a changing space (which by the way always smells AWESOME - thanks Bath & Bodyworks!). For the most part there are no lunchtime classes, and the early morning classes are EARLY. Your fellow gym-goers run the gamut here, from tentative first-timers to people who have been training with True Conditioning for years and feel it's "their" place. Sometimes I go to classes and everyone is chatty, welcoming and part of a real "team effort," with lots of high fives and laughs, sometimes I go to class where there are little cliques present and no one speaks to me at all. It can really, really vary depending on the class. For the most part I don't care, as I'm there to work my butt off. That being said, True Conditioning is really trying to build a real sense of community here that is winning out over any social standoffish-ness, and the trainers are always the first to make new folks feel welcome and insist on that inclusivity from other clients. There are regular social events organized, such as last weekend's Grouse Grind hike, that are designed to have clients bond and socialize. I think those kind of "everyone's welcome" values will ultimately win out over any other vibe that may exist, and I really think True Conditioning are building a cool, diverse community that values and celebrates its members and their individual strengths. Having just moved to the area, I really like going to class and seeing people who I know, who say hi and want to chat, and that's a great thing that TC has given to me. In terms of results, my fitness has crazy improved, which is what I needed after being in a bit of a gym rut. When I started in April, I couldn't really do burpees or box jumps. Now I do both, all the time. Planking? Easy. I can't wait to see what other challenges I can take on as my training here progresses. I always leave True Conditioning feeling like an athletic badass. I'm pretty much addicted to class here and would go everyday if my schedule permitted it. Should also mention that adorable bulldog slash mascot slash laziest trainer ever Winston is normally on hand if Sophie or Ryan are teaching. He's super lovey, not scary at all, and even if you're not a dog person I DARE you not to fall in love with this guy the first time he tries to lie down with you on your mat. I love working out at True Conditioning, and I'm sure you will too. Give it a shot - your abs will thank you! read more

I went to my first TRX class at True Conditioning with a friend who has been going for a year. I was really nervous because sometimes fitness classes and instructors can be intimidating. Not the case at True Conditioning! Sophie was warm and encouraging, and the energy in the studio is bright and uplifting. The class is intense and you'll feel sore for a couple days but it's worth it! Great work out! read more

I saw their groupon deal and I'm glad I bought it. Ryan and Sophie are very nice and accomodating. Love the location too! My favorite classes are the TRX Suspension training and the Rip TRX training. Always looking forward to attend their classes. read more

I've started training with Sophie for personal training, and have not stopped since. It has been a year now! I love how she incorporates a mixture of exercises that keeps it challenging and fun at the same time. It's not always easy being consistent, but because Sophie is incredibly encouraging and compassionate, I always leave the sessions feeling stronger and better (emotionally & physically). Personally, it's most important to have trust in the person I train with. Trust to know that they know what's best for me and to help me achieve what I otherwise would have doubted myself :) I can't be happier and am looking forward to the new space they will be moving into in September! read more

True Conditioning is amazing. Classes target every muscle group in your body! It's challenging but definitely enjoyable. Trainers are awesome - they're with you every step of the way; guiding, motivating, teaching and demonstrating modified versions suitable for all levels of fitness! Class size is great too! Not too big, not too small. Thank you Sophie, Pilar & Ryan! read more

I was very nervous about my first Class, I'm am very out of shape and overweight...it's easy for me to be intimidated by the gym environment and honestly I almost walk by instead of going in! I'm so glad I didn't! The staff is warm, welcoming and motivating! The studio is fresh, bright and in the heart of beautiful Steveston. The class kicked my butt but I did it and I really enjoyed it too. I like that the TRX class could be modified for beginners like me and with a few extra steps I was shown how to challenge myself further. A great experience all around but I might not be able to walk tomorrow! lol read more

Who would have thought I would say "I loved that class"? I was nervous and anxious about taking the class but felt as ease right away. Thank you to Ryan and Winston for making me feel comfortable right away. I love the suspension aspect of the exercises. Music was awesome and Ryan was great at walking around making sure you were doing the stretches correctly. read more

Flexible schedules, great trainers and progressive class offerings.

Awesome classes. Great selection of times offered. Fantastic instructors who really care! Non intimidating environment

Phenomenal gym with fun classes and great instructors. TRX training is a great full-body workout. The instructors motivate you to get the most out of the class, but do so through encouragement and positivity. Highly recommend! read more

I was the true meaning of unfit and lazy but ever since I've joined true conditioning through groupon on Jan 21 2016 I lost 35 pounds, I started the groupon that day and started a low carb diet and now Im 10lbs away from my goal. Sophie is a good motivator! read more

Tried my first TRX class and I LOVED it. I consider myself pretty fit but this workout was really challenging and the trainer was great about giving me suggestions to modify the exercises and make them harder. The class was capped at 12 people so the trainer was really good at giving everyone individual attention and also being sure to correct form. After every set of exercises she kept people moving with cardio active rest which I really liked as well. Overall I think this studio is great for all fitness abilities. The owners and staff are extremely knowledgeable and motivating. You'll walk out of this place with a smile! read more
