Good equipment, good prices, but no classes, and the swimming pool has a bad schedule, occupied by pedalheads kids all the time. The sauna and the hot tub are amazing, but with the pedalheads instructors yelling dozen of kids, and the parents making mud ignoring the no shoes signs you’ll fell like in the spa of the Hell.

It's a nice gym with many squat racks and a lot of different machines. I have been coming here for 4 months now. However, three factors lead me to leave a 1 star review: 1. I signed up to have access to a pool. The pool schedule is atrocious and if you have a job, you basically can't use the pool because there is always kid's classes. 2. There is no air-conditioning in the weight room. It's basically a sauna in there in the summer. It's also really smelly. 3. The gym closes at 10 pm on week days and 6 pm on weekends. A bad schedule for busy people. 4. I was told when I signed up that I could have one guest pass for free to bring a friend. They did not honour that term of our agreement and charged $15 for a guest pass when I went there with my girlfriend. A monthly pass is $40. 5. The straw that broke the camel's back and led me to leave a bad review was that the front counter person was quite rude to me today. I do not recommend this gym.

UPDATE. Mixed feelings about this place. I have been a long standing member, but recent policy change made me cancel membership. First off I was feeling uneasy about the closure of steam rooms. No refunds were provided/offered, however this service has always been included with the membership. Ok, this can be understood, province wide restrictions. Sure. But then they posted a sign "Masks required by provincial order". Unexpected. Which quite frankly was a lie, as the order provides a specific exemption of being engaged in fitness activity, black on white, period the end. When I made an inquiry, I was surprised to have quite disturbing explanation that this had been their "own" decision. If you are changing the conditions of the contract, you have to put forward a proposal and give a freedom of choice to all members to continue, or terminate the contract and provide a refund, because it has nothing to do with the order at all. This was not done. What's next? Wearing black shirts on Mondays? Something else? In addition, you have to wear a mask IF you are NOT on a cardio machine. So, if you are walking slowly on a cardio machine the virus is inert and can't hurt you or others. Once you stepped off the machine and are doing HIIT when your heart jumps out of your chest and you need oxygen the most, the virus attacks you right away. Pretty intelligent virus I would say. Or a very stupid policy. In the end the owner was nice enough to provide me with a refund and they cancelled my account, because I did not want to comply with the policy and "keep members safe". I would say if you want to keep everyone safe in the gym, you'd have to handcuff everyone. Because everyone has an equal chance to decide being irrational or aggressive, or lose temper, or go crazy simple as that and hurt someone. So, let's cuff everyone upon entry, and then we'll be absolutely safe. What if someone has e-coli infection and dhiarrea? I am afraid to imaging what would be required then! Maybe this is coming into the policy too? In the end, I liked and still like the gym, and would like to continue being a member but the owner clearly was not interested in keeping me as a member. Unsafe I guess, or asking too many questions, most likely. Thanks for reading!

Been going here for the last 4- 5 months. Place is a hidden gem, equipment is plentiful, monthly rate is amazing and patron safety spares nothing. Not to mention the incredible and friendly staff. For those who are concerned about safety, the gym has a strictly enforced cleaning policy after use, there are cleaning stations and supplies everywhere you look, all cardio equipment is walled off from the cardio equipment beside it and the racks are free weights stations are spaced out. Additional fans for ventilation and air flow have recently been installed, The staff patrol and wipe down and disinfect equipment when it is not in use with a high frequency( they are not just sitting around). Mandates/guidelines and reduced capacity limits are enforced( so you may be turned away or asked to use the secondary smaller gym while the main gym is at capacity). The staff are also always willing to help, be it with form checks or a spot. Other patrons who are regulars here also create a very welcoming environment. If you are looking for a gym that is affordable, safe and has a welcoming old school feel you probably wont find better than fitness 2000.

I have been going to the gym more than 14 years and is the best place to stay in shape and enjoying everything that they offer. There is a swimming pool, steam room, sauna and jacuzzi. Awesome and big weight room, cardio room, yoga room, and so many other areas to use while you are here. Super adorable fitness centre and I am looking forward to exercise and enjoy more years to come.

Hidden away. Facilities look adequate and organized. I come here for the pool, but there's a fitness center, sauna, jacuzzi as well. Parking lot needs some TLC.

I really love Fitness 2000, their staff takes great care of the patrons and they make sure the equipment and area is clean and sanitized. They've really stepped up things since Covid and I really appreciate all the work they've done to keep us healthy and safe.

I'm new to this gym and wish I joined sooner! Twice as many squat racks as Fitness World, at least 3 leg press machines, deadlift platform, AND a hack squat machine. I never have to hunt for free weights, space to move, or a bench. Staff and members create a friendly, clean environment with excellent covid protocols that folks seem respectful about following. It's affordable and feels more "grown-up," comfortable, and no-nonsense than any gym I've belonged to.

To be honest I am hesitant to leave this review becuase I don’t want everyone to know how amazing this gym is haha. They have a pool, hot tub, sauna, steamrooms, punching bags, real iron weights, and a room with turf that has a sled. They also have a tanning room ( that I never use but it looks nice). They are always upgrading the equipment. The staff is really chill and friendly. They have really good hours and it’s a nice low key gym. The price is also unbeatable. Best gym in the lower mainland

Just a very good, comfortable place to exercise.

I l9ve the functional training room. Definitely going to use it to prepare for Spartan

Came for weights, stayed for the vibes <3 (Remove decline bench press)

This gym isn't enforcing the COVID-19 immunization record check (aka Vaccine Passport). Members don't clean their equipment and the staff don't enforce any safety measures. It also gets very crowded between 5-7pm on weekdays and the ventilation is incredibly poor. Great to go if you're an antivaxer or if you want to catch a virus. I'm actually concerned about my safety, and am of the position that those opposed to the vaccine passport are prolonging the pandemic for the rest of us. I have canceled my membership to this gym. Edit: In response to Fitness2000's response to my review, I will clarify that I asked about the vaccine passports on my visit during Aug 27, and two staff members told me explicitly that they WERE NOT GOING TO BE CHECKING VACCINE PASSPORTS. I then told them that I would be canceling my membership and they processed this transaction. They insisted on charging me for September even though I haven't been back since Aug 27.

My daughters had an amazing progress learning with Aleksandra and Aliya .they learned a lot of techniques to endure long distance swimming. Would recommend to family and friends.

This place is the worst ever. They will rob you. They robbed me and my friend of a years worth of gym fees.

Overall the gym is nice but the woman at reception who was working at around 1:45 p.m on March 13, was very rude! I was already signed in at the gym and wanted to check out the other side of the gym, so I went and did some exercise and went back to the main weightlifting room. The door was locked so I went back to the reception to ask her if she can open the door. But she tells me if I was trying to sneak inside the gym!!!!???? - "you were trying to get in"... Yeah, trying to get my stuff out of my locker!! She didnt even acknowledge the fact that I already signed in. Disliked her attitude and was even thinking about being a potential member, however I sure dont think so after this.

This is an old school jem of a gym. It's got a lot of room, 3 squat racks, a deadlift platform, nowhere really to do clean and press because of the wood floor but the rest of the facility is good for the big main 3 lifts. Decent sauna, hot tub and a steam room, if they had a cold plunge and a spot to dump clean and presses, this gym would have it all. The turf is also a huge plus, sled run gets a little busy at times but over all, this gym is one of the best in the area. I'd go out of my way to lift here for sure, also the community (patrons) are quite pleasant. Check it out if you haven't already! Google asked me to update this review and the only update I have is that the community just seems to be getting better and better. There are young up-and-coming bodybuilders and a lot of good older experienced lifters and everything in between. If you haven't tried Fitness 2000 yet you don't know what you're missing. It's got that old school bangin' and clangin' vibe. Also one thing I really love about this gym is that you can do quarterly memberships, it's great to just pay once every 3 and re-up whenever the 90 days is up. About 140 bucks if I remember correctly.

Pool really needs a clean up, looks nothing like the photos online. It's quite dark, walls need to be power washed, ventilation and cleanliness is not nearly as good as public rec centers.

Great place. This gym's got an old soul vibe. Equipments are well maintained. Got multiple amenities - more than some of well-known gyms and more affordable. Hours are not as flexible as I need it to be but still 10/10.

parking is annoying and inside smells funny other than that pretty standard gym Edit.. their wifi is outdated easily hackable and is super bad... They should upgrade to the latest cisco meraki systems if they are going to up the membership prices. even the Lougheed pub has cisco meraki

This place had all the gear you could possibly want and a hugely supportive and knowledgeable staff. There should be a six star option.

Although I’m not a member, I was very impressed with the intro by Ross. Super friendly and professional. I felt very comfortable. No BS pushy sales tactic. Maybe I’m a bit spoiled, but the place is a bit grungy so it wasn’t for me. I am sensitive to smoke and walking by the bar there was a lot of second hand smoke. I can see how Fitness 2000 offers a lot of value and community feel. I love the vibe and wish them continuing success.

If you're joining for the pool, don't bother. They've mostly given it over to swimming lessons. They're also pretty lax about covid measures, to the point where they had an outbreak earlier this year.

Staff greet you with a warming smile upon entry and it truly feels like a community in there more than just a place to sweat. Covid protocols are followed and the equipment is amazing! love the hip thrust machine👌

Just to warn you that if you ever cancel your membership, keep your receipt because you may have to prove your cancellation in the future. Good facility, used to enjoy going here when I lived in the same building. However their customer service has recently gone really bad. My membership wasn't cancelled correctly and when I called in to resolve the issue, the manager on the phone had a bad attitude and acted like I was lying, extremely rude!! I have referred several people to this gym and feel like my business wasn't appreciated. Unfortunately after this customer experience, I won't be returning.

Great gym great price

Other gyms take note. Fitness 2000 knows how it's done, and maintains their machines well! I've never even come close to being as impressed as I am with how well the staff take care of this gym and it's members. Always cleaning, always cruising the floor and interacting with the regulars. I'm proud to be a member of this place. 5 starts isn't high enough.

I love this fitness club cheap and equipped and user friendly gym. nice employee. big swimming pool with spa. I hope that my body will gain a lot of muscle in the coming year.

F2K has everything you need; plenty of dumbbells, squat racks, machines, and cardio options. A great environment for anyone interested in the gym. The facility is always tidy, and the staff are incredibly friendly.

Very friendly staff. A1 equipment, never over crowded, good atmosphere and very well maintained equipment and clean. Also very organized 👌🏻 Would be good if they had a travelers option for people passing thru or shorter membership packages. Otherwise this place is perfect

Love and miss this place. Wish it would open at 5 am. Fantastic staff and management. Best gym I've ever been to. Nothing compares. Keep up the great work guys.

I've been going here for almost three years and the staff know the regulars by name. Chris (the manager) is super friendly and they take sanitizing procedures seriously during Covid-19. Though their hours aren't as long as Anytime Fitness or any of the big chain gyms, what they do make up for is a non-pretentious atmosphere for people who take their fitness goals seriously. Plus you can't beat a gym with squat racks, TRX, battle ropes and a pool!

Probably one of the best gyms you could find. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. The prices are great for what you can get. The only downside is the strange location. Hopefully they will open another location elsewhere soon too!

Super friendly staff. Gym is big enough to not feel over crowded. Equipments and machines are quite good. The membership is pretty cheap.

Best gym ever. Lots of space and areas and everyone there is really friendly and people give you space to do your thing which is so important when you're working out. Can't beat the price either. Can't say enough good things about this place.

Representatives are not able to explain well

Ross is the best only reason I come to the gym is because of him he’s super nice and greets you with respect as soon as you walk in and you get full energy still not sure how’s he’s not the manager he’s the most hard working man out there compare to the others always working and cleaning while others are just sitting and talking

The Ultimate place to workout as they have every possible machine imaginable. Psysio/ psysio-rehabilitation, massage therapy, pool, suntan booths, sauna and with the friendliest staff there is

I love the old school feel to this gym. The staff is always interacting with people and very friendly. I find the environment very inspiring and positive to work out in. I also find the other people working out to be friendly and helpful towards each other . Highly recommend the Fitness 2000 experience to anyone looking to join a gym 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Facility is excellent. Plenty of room and equipment. Staff is the real highlight of this gym. Everyone is friendly and knowledgeable and they remember your name every time. Prices can’t be beat.

F2k is the best gym in the lower mainland. Good equipment, great atmosphere. Ross makes me smile every time I walk into the gym.

Go to this gyn regularly and though it is moderately busy any time of day there's always something available and the staff is super friendly

Solid spot. Expensive though

It has a family feel. The staff are extremely competent and friendly. Very close to my home, it has everything one needs for a good workout

Great gyn and staff

Favorite place to workout and alleviate stress. Cardio, Weights, Classes, Pool, Hot Tub, Sauna, Steam Room, Tanning, and super friendly staff. Thanks guys for making this a great experience.

Been going to this gym for over a year now. Great staff, great space and have no regrets of joining.

it is a good gym. it just takes a little more leg braces.

Cool place to work out, staff is polite and the gym has a real tough vibe, its got all the equipment you'd want at a good price. Not much to complain about besides they need to get some new dumbbells

We attend fitness 2000 for pedalhead swim lessons. The pool is well heated and is the perfect length (about 20 meters) for beginner learners. The swim to teacher ratio is 4:1 max and the teachers are very hands on. They also get through a lot of practice as the lesson is 55 min long. I’m thoroughly impressed and it’s well worth the money

Been going for 4 years. I love it. Old school lifters gym. People come here to exercise and work out. No influencers, no time wasters, just business. Friendly staff and good location near lougheed mall.

This gym is pretty legit. And for the price... It's very legit. There's a big weights/machine room (w/ punching bag), a conditioning room, a training room (think turf, ropes, jump boxes and such) and a pool!?!? Sign me up. Everyone is really friendly and the gym goers seem nice enough. I recommend checking it out if you're in the Burnaby area.

It's one of the best gyms I've ever experienced and I can hear advice from many experienced people.

Great old school, no nonsense gym with several flexible payment options. Staff are an absolute treat, helpful and supportive. A little on the busy side but not enough to disrupt your workout.

Good place

Still a very new member, but the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful as they gave a tour and checked in during our first workout. Great variety of equipment for cardio, strength, and functional fitness. Multiple squat racks, free weights, and enough cleaning stations to feel safe. Only suggestion would be another deadlift platform, but really, you can never have too many of those.

Easy place to workout. Very friendly staff. Thanks for keeping operational during the pandemic.

A basic club for no frills workouts

Just started going here and I really like it. Lots of space and equipment to use. Very clean and great staff.

I've been a member of this gym off an on for three years now due to location changes. Recently moving back to North Burnaby I go out of my way to continue my membership here. There is nothing that compares to the sense of community, the equipment, and the overall bang for your buck that you get at F2K. Chris goes out of his way to provide an experience that dwarfs any big box gym.

This is my everyday gym. Chris is a great owner and listens to members needs. I love the variety of equipment and the turf room is great for functional training. I have been going here since 2011 and will keep going as long as I can to keep supporting Chris and the F2K team. Definitely worth giving it a try!

Great place for works outs and tanning

My home gym. Kinda like The Rock has the Iron Paradise. No frills up in here. But get in get out. Get fit. Tons of squat racks and FUNCTION ROOM. Chris the owner will take care of you.

great

My husband and I have been a member for some years now. It’s a great place to work out without breaking a bank. The membership comes with swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna, steam room and most of the classes are included.

Yes, we are coming to gym since 2000. We love it there. Staff always very friendly and helpful. Owner Chris is sooooo nice and friendly. Thanks Chris and staff for best possible service.

Its all around ok, decent equipment

This gym is better than any commercial/chain gym I've ever trialled. F2K has the finest equipment, greatest gym value, best pricing, and most friendly and helpful staff around. Go here, you'll be glad you did.

Pay 45 a month in membership and they don't even put in an effort to keep the place tidy. Cable handle bars go missing all the time and for someone who uses cables for rehab/strengthening it pretty much makes going to this gym useless unless you wanna do a scavenger hunt every time

The staff is really amazing. Wish they’d update the equipment but still giving it 5 stars because some of the newer equipment in other gyms is way too confusing and finicky

Chris and his crew do a tremendous job. I'd recommend this gym to people starting out.

They are doing a good job keeping the place clean.

Reasonable prices and great facilities.

Awesome gym with great staff

One star for the kick-boxing part: I wish this club would be better if Navid was the only teacher. Lack of sportsmanship, bullying tolerated. It seemed like a good friendly club at first, but it is not. Competitive and threatening. It takes only a few rotten apples for it to be not a place for good guys. Reminds me of Karate Kid... just that I am not a hero. I have received a reply from the owner letting me know Navid is the only instructor now, so I will add one star for now.

Wonderful owner, staff and equipments.

excellent selection of dumbbells. its a bit too far from where i live to commute to on a daily basis tho sadly.

Great gym

Good staff

Great gym with pool

Great gym. Been going here for years, gym is kept clean and staff are nice!

They are very friendly and flexible

Really good facility and friendly staff.

Amazing and awesome gym.
