  • 1/5 Andre r. 1 year ago on Google
    It became impossible to work out here in a timely manner. There's just too many people to the point where you won't be able to find any available machines or even floor space for your mat. The change rooms are neglected on a daily basis. The floor is disgusting to step on, either wet or dirty, and people just leave garbage inside lockers that would stay for months. It's overcrowded and poorly maintained, unfortunately. Machines are taking weeks or months to be fixed as they naturally break down, which only adds up to less available options for workout. Been a member for years, but as of today will be looking for options. Very sad to be writing this review.

    I've been coming to this gym for a while as a guest, and I finally ended up subscribing. They have affordable packages befitting for your goals and plenty of clean and working equipment. However, keep in mind that it is usually crowded at peak times. Staff is friendly and willing to help you, Eve (personal trainers) helped me to identify exercise posture and muscle to be trained on. She was really sweet. Overall, I find this gym functional for workout beginners and experienced people. You can monitor your progress with a personal trainer or with the equipment available.

    Trust the reviews! Dylan, the manager, is an awesome guy – super friendly, answered all my questions and I even saw him emptying the garbage cans in the weight rooms – he clearly cares. I also find the other gym-goers respectful and kind; as a woman who doesn’t always enjoy being looked at when working out, I feel comfortable here. It can be quite busy at peak times, and I prefer to workout on the turf rooftop when it’s nice out. There are currently low-intensity fitness classes with a sweet, helpful instructor. Everyone wears masks in every part of the gym. Happy I joined on the “Fit” membership and after checking out another location, this place will be my go-to. Looking forward to get stronger after being far-too sedentary during Covid!

    Good facilities and friendly staff. Due to the large scale of gym, there are fewer restrictions on the use of equipment even if many people exercise at the same time.

    I have been a member at this location since 1989 even though the gym has morphed a few times. I really appreciate that they honoured my old contract when the became Fitness World. That makes it easier for me to purchase one on one training time. Dylan manages this location and I always feel welcomed by him and his staff. He is professional as well as light hearted and congenial. When looking for some personal training sessions, Dylan recommended I work with Courtney. I trusted him to find the right fit for me. Courtney is professional, very knowledgeable, pays attention to detail and pushes for results. I am please with my progress. I find the gym comfortable even though it is now a co-ed space and the location is easily accessible to public transportation.

    Great club with an all-round awesome vibe. Been here for about a month and everyone (staff and patrons) has been good-natured and courteous (no knuckleheads thus far!). Had a few PT sessions with Courtney - absolute wealth of knowledge and an excellent teacher. Would be great to see earlier opening hours to suit those that may need to get into work early in the day, but you can't have it all! Thanks Dylan & FW team

    Courtney is an excellent and experienced trainer who knows what she's doing! I highly recommend her. The gym itself is pretty good. It always seems clean. They really need more barbells and I think they need to organize the weights better each night. It also gets really busy so it's best to go at off-peak times, especially for the free weights section.

    Located in a cute little shopping mall the gym is always clean, neat and tidy. You’re always greeted with a smile, everyone that works there actually seems to enjoy what they do. Dylan the general manager is an absolute gem, could not be more enthusiastic about fitness if he tried! Always in a good mood and smiling - I guess that’s what happens when you’re healthy and exercise regularly. It’s always great seeing him, unfortunately he’s a little too good at his job and now has to split his time between the Cambie location and Langley (the betrayal is real). Personal training with Courtney has been amazing. So knowledgeable, and so supportive. Not only has she been able to make me stronger but has also decreased years of aches and pains. She sometimes yells when I’m trying to be lazy at my workouts but that’s offset by the fact that she will share photos of her bunnies, so it’s a nice balance. Overall 11/10 experience from start to finish.

    Have had a fantastic experience at fitness world training with Courtney. I’ve been a member for about 4 months now and have seen great results. The gym itself is clean and bright, and the prices are reasonable. Courtney is an excellent personal trainer, with a ton of knowledge and experience. She can always accommodate my crazy schedule, and always makes sure I feel comfortable with what I’m doing, yet challenged. Highly recommend this gym, especially personal training.

    First of all, I would like to say thank you to Eve for all the help! Her professionalism and responsibility were reflected in many ways. She adjusted my training plan based on my different needs and gave suggestions on my diet at each stage. She also took care of me during my pregnancy, educating me with the dos and don’ts about exercise, and especially the importance of core strength. The training process with her was also very interesting. She didn’t only encourage me and correct my gestures, but also chatted with me and focused on my mental and physical status all the time. In one word, I am very honored to have Eve as my personal trainer, and I sincerely hope to continue to train with her for my postpartum rehabilitation.

    I have been doing personal training at the Cambie fitness world since September last year (2021), and I have really enjoyed my experience. Courtney has been my trainer and she has taught me so much about my body and how to properly complete exercises. She always comes to the session with a calm and happy attitude. Able to have a nice conversation but also taking my health and progress very seriously. I have always felt very supported and Courtney has always been very accommodating. I am excited to continue to progress and now I feel like I finally have the means to be able to continue this journey on my own :)

    I had a great experience working with Courtney when I joined the Fitness World gym on West 12th. I learned so much from our personal training sessions as she is very knowledgeable and explains movements and techniques very clearly. She is also very friendly and personable which makes her a pleasure to work with.

    I have been going to Fitness World on Cambie since this June and it's been life changing experiences. Courtney Parson is my trainer and I want to say she's the best person I met this year! In the beginning, I had no idea what I really want to achieve from signing up the gym and training, but Courtney has helped me setting goals for my fitness and health. Courtney has great knowledge in fitness, nutrition, physiology, anatomy etc. and I like her coaching style where she adjusts programs based on my conditions and progress. I have started understanding my body/muscle more and aware of my postures in daily life, which helped me a lot doing my work. I used to be very exhausted at the end of day from work but now I can get through my busy day easier and recovery from tiredness faster than before my training. Besides Courtney being an awesome trainer, she is a wonderful person. I have learn a lot from her when it comes to her passion for her career and her attitudes towards life in general. One of the brightest, positive, lively, honest, and authentic person I know :) Thanks for all your efforts to help me achieving my goals and being patient with me during sessions! Other staff at the gym is really kind, friendly, and positive. Always get happier from their greetings!!

    Very nice gym, at least for me as a beginner. The staff is very friendly and always gonna be there for you if you need help. Also, the gym has hydro massage lounge that is incredible good after a long workout. Don’t come here after 6pm because is too busy. If you need personal trainer, you definitely should go with G, the French guy. I’ve been working with him once a week and I can tell he really cares about you and your process. After a month with him, I notice important changes in my body. Thanks you G!

    I signed up at Fitness World this past winter and didn’t realize how much it would change my life. Feeling nervous of machines and unsure what to do I signed up for personal training. I’ve been training with Sarah which has made my experience so fulfilling. She feels like my superhero sidekick. I’m fully supported, helps me stay committed, educates me on the body, and has been the perfect role model to embody feminine power. My physical body keeps gaining muscle as we work on my goals. Highly recommend Fitness World and Sarah. I’m able to conquer life’s obstacles with my new layer of inner and outer strength.

    HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! I always have a wonderful experience coming to this gym. everyone is so polite, knowledgeable and helpful. I always get a positive vibe when I enter this gym as compared to other locations. I had a fitness session with Eve and she is so knowledgeable and polite. she guided me how I can achieve my goals in a more efficient way and nutrition.

    Michael Almeida is my personal trainer and he’s been nothing but amazing! He truly cares about your goal and helps you attain it by challenging you in a way that you never thought you’d be able to do. He mixes things up so you don’t get bored. He just seems to know when to push you to the next level. He is very attentive, friendly and supportive. My son and I enjoy training with him. It has only been 2 and half months and we are already seeing great results. If you’re looking to improve your fitness level, go see Mike. I highly recommended him.

    Great customer service team, great working-out equipment, great location, great fitness programs, great rates. Simply - GREAT! Especial kudos to LUCILA in the front desk for being so patient and cheerful. She always boosts everybody up with a loud warm - "Good morning!". Lucila definitely provides a 10/10 customer service.

    I have been training with G for 3 months now and it has been an amazing experience, I'm finally motivated to go to the gym and feel confident using the equipment. Super friendly guy and has gone above and beyond to tailor my training plans for what I need. If you're looking for a trainer I would 100% recommend going with G!

  • 5/5 Mathilde N. 1 year ago on Google
    I have been coming to this gym since just before Christmas and have had the pleasure of having G as a personal trainer. I took the free session with no intention of signing up for a personal trainer, but G blew me away and I felt like all my goals could be achieved with his guidance. I was not disappointed. I had a goal of weight loss for my wedding, but also to gain strength and mobility for my own longevity and quality of life, as I have a physically demanding job. G has kept me focused and on track and I have been amazed with the results I have seen. Overall, not only have I lost weight and feel much more confident in myself, I also had no idea I could get so fit, lift so much weight, and feel so strong! G is a demanding trainer, our sessions together leave me feeling pushed to the limit and amazed at what I have achieved. If you are looking to take it easy look elsewhere. G will push you and you will see results and have a blast at the same time. He is exceptionally enthusiastic and passionate about his work and it is infectious. He is always available for advice and guidance. I cannot recommend him highly enough and will never have another trainer, I will always train the G way! I thank him for him encouragement and belief in me.

    Dylan has been my personal trainer for a month now and I’ve seen real improvements in my health across the board. I’m a fairly experienced gym goer but Dylan’s taught me some great new techniques and exercises and the sessions have always had the right level of intensity. Fully recommend

    I highly recommend training with Deborah. She is extremely knowledgeable and applies her expertise in a very skilled and professional manner. With her keen observation and attention to detail, she has an impressive ability to cue and motivate me throughout our sessions, making each workout a fun and rewarding experience. Deborah is clearly committed to helping each client reach their individual goals. She is nothing short of amazing!

    I joined Fitness World in Cambie 3 months ago and was coached by Guillaume. He is a very good coach who takes care of his clients. A session with Guillaume, called "the G-Day", is all about fun, laughter and jokes! He takes the time to explain everything to you, from training to nutrition... I recommend him! Thank you very much.

    Michael at the Cambie location, is a phenomenal personal trainer. He is motivating, he pushes hard to get you to reach your fullest potential, he is extremely knowledgeable and he keeps the vibe fun! He will support you not only with your fitness but also with your diet and he will keep you accountable. Michael knows how to create the best training program for you to help you reach your fitness goals. If you are serious about your fitness and getting the results you want, train with Michael. He’s the best!

    I have been doing personal training with Sarah H. for the past month and absolutely loving the sessions! She is so thoughtful and always encourages me to push myself so I can grow. I am excited to continue working with her! I also really appreciate how approachable and welcoming all the staff are. Members are usually pretty good about working in when it’s busy too. In general, I feel a lot safer in this gym than others I have been to (yay for being a woman 🙃) because coaches are always around training someone and keeping an eye on things.

    The best gym I have even been to! The team has an incredible energy. From start with Adam signing me up to working out with the best personal trainer I have ever had the chance to workout that is James. The cleanliness and energy that the staff provides that keeps me motivated to come back everyday. Thank you guys for existing and supporting me on this limited time I am spending in BC.

    Have been a member for >2 years, and still love it. I joined at some point in Covid and I was pretty grumpy... and this gym has helped me lose >30 pounds and make some big fitness gains. The manager (Dylan) is fantastic and relentlessly positive, and the staff is generally great. I recently experimented with some personal training with Mike and can't recommend him enough - he is super knowledgeable, patient, supportive, and knows how to push people really effectively. When I can afford training regularly, I'll try to get Mike - just a couple of professional moves away for me:) But my workouts with him were outstanding - highly highly recommend.

    I had a 12 week training program with Adam McLean here at Fitness world Cambie and my experience with him was truly incredible. He was very professional, knowledgeable and was very patient with me as a beginner at weight training. He was able to teach and motivate me to go beyond what I thought I was capable of! Thanks to Adam I feel much more confident with his support, and for that I will always be grateful. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a super supportive and knowledgeable personal trainer. Thank you Adam for such an amazing and positive experience:) The staff here were also always friendly and inviting making me feel very welcomed every time I came in! Super positive environment to work out in! :)

    I have been going to this gym for about a year and love it! Dylan is an amazing manager. He truly cares about this gym. However, today my trip to gym turned out to be a bad experience. I was unaware of the new mask policy which was in place, and tracy yelled at me in in front of other guests and other staff members which was really embarrassing for me. I hope she learns customer service and wish her well. I am not sure if she was having a bad day but no need to take it out on your clients. Also i noticed down below there are two more reviews about her, so I am not the only one who has had a bad experience with her. I think she needs attitude adjustment anyway this gym has good machines and overall is a huge gym. Love working out here.

    I’ve grown to really enjoy coming here. It’s always clean, and the staff are super friendly! My only major compliant, as with a lot of gyms, is that there aren’t enough free weights or space to use them. Additionally, I can never find rope attachments to use with the cables. Overall, I’ve had a good experience and love how convenient the location is.

    I love this gym! They did a great job keeping open during the pandemic. Dylan (general manager) is super friendly and always doing his best to meet customer needs. Crowd is much better and more upscale than some other locations. Sad to leave this gym since I’m moving to the US. Thanks for the great memories and workouts!

    The best gym in Vancouver! I spent one year working out at Fitness world before moving abroad. The gym is incredible, clean, organized, and has high-quality equipment. Ease to sign up and cancel it. The staff is very committed to the customers, especially Lucila, who is always at the front desk in the morning. She is a fantastic girl who encourages you to keep working out. Also, the personal trainer Tyrel is a tremendous, super professional, and understanding guy. I highly recommend Fitness World.

    I’ve been trying to find a gym that feels like home ever since my old gym closed after COVID. It’s safe to say that I found my new home! This gym has everything you could possibly ask for. Jasmeen, the membership representative helped me choose the “goal” membership where one of the many benefits is that my wife can join me for a workout at no extra cost! I absolutely love this gym and would recommend it to anybody who is looking to crush their fitness goals.

    I would like to share the most amazing experience I had at the front desk with Lucila yesterday. Everything from the smile she gave upon entrance to the way she listened to my needs and goals and then to the genuine suggestions she offered me. None of it was pushy and all of it was sincere. Thank you for being a breathe of fresh air Lucila!

    Great gym, always have a good time when I come here. I usually just come with my friend and I get free access. Which is one of the main reasons I love it. Very clean, pleasant staff and lots of different machines and weights to use.

  • 1/5 Jesse K. 3 months ago on Google New
    The gym is great, just a bit busy at times. However, there are several hidden fees to beware, beyond the bi-weekly rates advertised: $50 "activation fee", $50 "annual fee", and you must give 30-days notice to cancel on month-to-month.

  • 1/5 Beth W. 2 years ago on Google
    Would not recommend this gym. When I went on weekends and week nights it was packed, people weren't always wearing masks walking around and it was impossible to access space for free weights. Plus beware of extra fees - I was only a member for a few months (a lot of which the gym was closed due to restrictions) and had to pay an 'annual enhancement fee'.

  • 5/5 Marky T. 6 months ago on Google
    Great, affordable gym to be working out at. The staff are honestly the friendliest I've met - especially Bennie! What a guy. I would also recommend getting a PT session from Alex. He was a fountain of knowledge, fixed issues that other PT's in previous gyms have completely missed, really pushed me as hard as I could and was super motivating the whole session. I am training for an Ironman and he was on it with the sports performance side. If I ever had any questions he was always available to message also. As cringe as it sounds, I honestly feel so much more confident and happier following only a couple of weeks working with Alex. He also helped with a nutrition plan (which has always been my weak point!). Thanks again Team! Mark

    not too big and full of mirrors so you are forced to look at yourself the whole time which is not what I am looking for by trying to improve my looks a bit! lol. prefer the Village/downtown location but not saying this one is bad, it’s clean and equipment works!

    Jason is a fantastic trainer and really works to make your goals his goal. Benny's positive attitude is contagious. Both are a fantastic addition to the team at Cambie. The gym itself is huge and has a great amount of machines and gear, you will never be waiting for a piece of equipment.

My experience working with Kat Tuason as a personal trainer was nothing short of wonderful, and I would highly recommend her to anyone who wishes to have a personal trainer who is amazing and has the highest level of experience in the industry. Also, the manager, Dylan, is a great guy. He is incredibly polite and answered all of my concerns. Thank you for your great service!

  • 5/5 Tanesha J. 7 months ago on Google
    Currently been going to this gym for the past couple of months, at first was bit iffy but turned out to be great since I joined with a personal Trainer there! At first was going for once a week which was fine budget wise but after awhile turned it to two times a week and am seeing better results, like how he teaches the exercises and isn’t all that harsh when it comes to pushing through and finishing the reps, going fantastic and always do look forward to the PT sessions with Mike :D

    My husband and I have been coming for a couple of months and getting personal training with Kat and we love her! Super helpful, knowledgeable and accommodating with our busy schedule. The whole team is super friendly and welcoming and always greet us with a warm welcome when we come. This gym has everything you could possibly need for equipment and love the access to the classes and hydro massage beds and tanning salon. So happy we found Kat and this gym!

  • 5/5 Lewis K. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome trainers here and a really great facility. I’ve been working with Kat since September 2022 and she has completely changed my life. I’ve learned so many different exercises with her and she pushes me to continue to be the best I can be. My diet has gotten better with her help and I couldn’t be happier. She is an incredible trainer.
