    Great serious lifter gym in the lower mainland with passionate owners that care about fitness and bodybuilding. With a wide range of equipment, find new exercises each workout to hit your body in different ways

    A rugged, no-pain no-gain depot that mostly resembles a Gladiator arena. Germaphobes operate the sterile facility that is spotless except for the pooling of blood on the floor as my ears bleed from the blasting of unholy rock music calling on me to fight government tyranny. Despite a dedicated posing room, tripods and DSLRs are plentiful in all areas, filming the bulging muscles of beefcakes doing "light weights" at 2pm on a 9-5 workday. Hypnotically Caucasian — the TVs play clips of burly men moving steel 6 inches before a thundering drop to the floor, parade-sized army unit flags drape alongside posters of half-naked musclemen and heavyweight boxers; one can only dream of being so masculine. Make no mistake, the women who frequent the club are equally domineering; look past their plastic features under a tan seared by West Coast Iron's very own tanning booth, and you'll find pure T coursing through their veins. I laid down at one of the many bench presses and struggled at first to lift the 100kg bar, but the blinding stadium lights piercing directly down into my eyes combined with the strobe effect of the helicopter-sized blades of the ceiling fan induced a seizure in me, and I uncontrollably contorted my back at a 45 degree angle, which gave me the leverage needed to lift the weight, and onlookers remarked that I had "perfect form." The drop-in is modestly overpriced and at the same time the entry turnstile is very easy to hop: another of god's little tests. Instead, to see if such a breach would go unnoticed, I tried to sneakily walk backwards through the the exit turnstile while the front desk was occupied with a marauding CrossFitter and was successful for a moment, though I was promptly picked up and launched outside by a mammoth staff member, who then repped my whole body for 5 sets of Military Press right on the doormat seen from the photo taken by my now-cracked phone and uttered the heretical words that are still with me: "Do you even lift, brah?"

    West Coast Iron has a great variety of equipment and the vibe are pretty good compared to other gyms. Biggest complaint is the amount of people not wearing masks. People are constantly taking their masks off and walking around the gym. There are also quite a few people who weren’t even wiping equipment down after using it. Would be nice to see the staff enforce these covid policies as other gyms are currently doing.

    This gym is awesome! I train with Dany who has been an integral part of my health. He helped me get stronger with challenging workouts and supported me through rehab while I injured my ankle. Dany is knowledgeable on the human body and I look forward to my training sessions with him every week.

    Great environment for any athlete that is serious about lifting! The wide selection of equipment found at Westcoast iron is one of the best in the region. You will not be disappointed if you train at this gym.

    I practically grew up here! First came to this gym when I was 17 and it was called World Gym and I've seen the various owners and the incredible transformation this place has had over the years. The current owners have been phenomenal for this place - they've really made it something special. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to be surrounded by dedicated fitness enthusiasts but feel welcome no matter what level of fitness you are at! These days the patrons are extremely friendly and willing to provide tips to others!!

    Noting but great things to say about this gym... the " Mecca of the West" was worth the trip. Great staff, HUGE facility, lots of parking, posing room, and a jucie/smoothy/pre-workout bar to boot! ❤️ Looking forward to my next trip. Thanks for the hospitality Quentin, Dallas and Ron... you're the best.

    Absolutely the best gym to build muscle in Western Canada. Great owners, friendly staff, inspiring dudes training all around, down to earth vibe. I'm from TO...and wish I lived out here year round if only for this place!! For real.

    Fantastic gym, great staff and great positive energy from the entire place. Music is pumping, you can put you headphones away once in a while.

  • 5/5 Prusha 1 year ago on Google
    Been training at this gym with Dany who listens to your goals and has given me amazing results thus far! He has an immense knowledge of the body. Highly recommend!! The gym itself is great and has every equipment you could ask for!! I always look forward to my training sessions here!

  • 5/5 A L. 1 year ago on Google
    Dany is amazing! I’ve been training with him for the last year or so I absolutely love it. He’s so knowledgeable and listens to all your concerns and makes sure he works with me to achieve my goals. I have been staying consistent with the help of him holding me accountable. He makes me feel comfortable and confident in myself to gym by myself and doing proper form. Definitely 10/10 would recommend him to my friends and family

    Best gym I've ever been a member of. A game changer from your standard commercialized gyms. Great equipment, good music, unbelievable sense of community and vibe! A local gem for the serious weight lifter at heart.

  • 5/5 Christine Y. 1 year ago on Google
    I got to know West Coast through Dany and I love it here. I followed Dany from his previous work place and I see faster results and get to actually have fun. Dany is knowledgeable and he really knows what he’s doing and base our training so I’m injury-free. He’s not only motivating me in the gym but also checks my lifestyle so I can achieve my goal better. He’s reliable and really passionate about his job and I highly recommend him (although I would love to gatekeeper him for myself haha). Thankful that I get to train with Dany and looking forward to continue with him in the future at west coast 🤗

    You barely get through the door and you know your in the right place. The smell of pheromones and sweat hit you and it go time. The front desk people as unparalleled. Absolutely over the top friendly and accommodating. The place is legendary already.

  • 5/5 Fin O. 7 months ago on Google
    Best gym to go to. They do NOT screw around, definitely better than most gyms in the area, yet don't get enough publicity. Been training with Dany for EXACTLY 6 weeks now and pretty much great results! You're welcome, Dany, you'lre gonna get it. Haha.

  • 5/5 Damyen F. 8 months ago on Google
    By far the best gym I’ve trained. Great sense of community, large selection of equipment and lots of serious training going on. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Jordan M. 1 year ago on Google
    Banger gym. Started going here to continue working with my trainer Dany, who is fantastic and I highly recommend anyone looking for a trainer to look into him. Excellent facilities, so much equipment that even when it's busy there's always a plethora of options to choose. The staff are incredibly friendly, and the fellow people using the gym are professional and don't leave equipment around like I find people at many other gyms do. They know what they're doing, and let you do what you're doing. All in all nothing to complain about, basically the perfect gym!

  • 5/5 Mariena B. 1 year ago on Google

    I love this gym. Not only is it a world class training facility, but the owners and staff are extremely kind and accommodating. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 chance b. 1 year ago on Google
    Came here to drop in a few times because traffic and the distance, but this gym is very much worth it! If you wanna feel like your in a real gym and have not be shamed for posing and taking pictures this is the gym for you.

  • 5/5 Vitaliy “Vitaliy’sMagic” S. 1 year ago on Google
    My favorite gym. If you live far you should still try this gym at least once. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable and they constantly update the place with the newest and the most needed equipment. You can find equipment that you wouldn’t in other gyms. 5⭐️ FOR SURE!!!

  • 5/5 Alaa Q. 1 year ago on Google
    Went for a workout today. Great gym overall, and to be precise, this is a REAL bodybuilding gym where you feel the owners and who ever chose the equipment knows what they are doing. The only gym I have seen here with a T-bar row machine (Not even gold's has it). Most gyms in Vancouver are equipped in a cookie cutter manner. Anyway, 2pac was on the speakers, and real old school iron weights were being lifted, you get the picture.

  • 5/5 Mel C. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome gym, great equipment. Very inspiring environment and very welcoming and inclusive members. Awesome bodybuilder gym. Thanks for always being such awesome hosts when I'm in town ✌️

  • 5/5 Jamie C. 2 years ago on Google
    Really great gym doing the best they can to run safely for its members. Can't wait for things to get back to normal. Great rates, great staff and plenty of solid equipment.

  • 5/5 Dave W. 2 years ago on Google
    If your serious about training and don't wanna wait for equipments while someone is texting away. This is the place for you. They have at least two of every sort of equipments so your almost never waitin around. Worth the drive.

  • 5/5 Jason H. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing atmosphere and people who work there and work out. Never a bad interaction and have been coming since X-Club days. Even despite moving away, I still take the time to get here. Nothing like it.

  • 4/5 Melody 2 years ago on Google
    Where to start....ok....Lots of work out equipment, weights and cardio machines. All kept clean and in good working order. Each person carries a bottle of disinfectant and wipes down the equipment after use.Large wall areas open when nice, to let in fresh air. Fans always on but do need more in upper cardio area. Private workout room for the shy with some good equipment. Bathrooms checked on a time schedule 10/10. Parking can be an issue if coming during busy hours. As for music...well...rap or slow songs do not make the cut when working out, and the caucasian girl with long straight dark hair unfortunately has an unprofessional unpleasant attitude and blatantly lies about not being able to change the music due the computer not working....very unethical work practice. All other staff are pleasant and respectful at all times. They play fast and furious music to get the adrenaline going for a great workout and will change the music on a dime to fast music if needed or asked. There is a bar area where they sell bottled beverages or will make you a workout drink. (prices are decent) Also available to purchase is a wide variety of weight training products(power) and/or gym clothes. The gym membership can be paid monthly or yearly. I prefer to give a business 5 stars, heres hoping that these few issues are improved upon. I do recommend this location.
