This barre location has a big studio. It's carpeted, which makes it nice and soft, but also a bit…read moreweird for a gym where people sweat. They have fans going for temperature control, although I imagine if you are on the side of the studio where you are in the sun, it probably gets warm fast. They has two instructors at the open house class, which I tried, Kristin and Connie. This was kind of nice because it meant there was always one instructor free to correct people's form. Everyone working here was friendly. I found the method here was more like pilates than other barre classes. The class used lots of equipment and it was all provided (mats, ball, bands, weights, cushions). A nice touch is that towels were provided for working out. There are showers but only one washroom. The locker area is pretty small and there ends up being a bit of a line to change/access them. Since I attended an open house, they had a clothing pop up, mini facials and fresh juice. Epsom salts were given after the class to newbies and a one month deal. Newbies also were strategically placed between people with previous experience at the studio so there was a lot of thought put into making the experience good. Staff and instructors made sure to introduce themselves to newbies and to watch them during classes to provide extra assistance. They also checked in after the class ended. The negatives are that there is a dress code for this studio that includes no shorts and no midriff showing. I appreciate that this policy applies to all genders, but it is also a bit much, especially the shorts part and not great if you overheat easily. It is also a bit comtrary to body positivity. Another thing to note is that there is no instructor doing the moves with you so it is hard to follow if you are a visual person. The instructions are all verbal and that can be tricky.

I am so fed up with this studio, the customer service is horrendous. Six years I've been supporting…read morethis studio. This morning, I showed up to a 7:15 a.m. class to learn I'd accidentally registered for class the day before. Busy, working, single mom, mistakes happen. I was told, no problem, there is a spot in the class available - that will just be $37! When there is an empty space and I missed my class and I pay for a membership and already booked and paid for an extra class this week on top of my membership. I've taken over 500 classes with this studio and they'd rather let the class have an empty spot then let a loyal customer make up a class she's showed up to take. It just feels like a kick in the face every time I interact with reception. It's a great workout and two blocks from my house. But I just cannot continue to support a business that treats its customers so badly.

This is definitely a total body workout that emphasizes your core and lower legs. However, there…read moreare some classes that offer more arm work. These abs and arms classes are restricted to more advanced members The machinery may complicate some, but after the first three classes, you should get the hang of it. Many of the moves are repeated in various classes, which also makes it easier to catch on I believe this business should offer to beginners, some slower paced, lighter spring classes to build up confidence and strength. It also be safer and less frustrating for newbies. Alternatively, in regular classes, additional modifications, as well as lighter spring loads, should be offered to those who appear to be struggling. The best thing about these classes is that the are only 40 minutes long! They pack a lot of training into this time. Frankly, any longer, and I don't think I would make it. Make sure you cool down and stretch on your own after class as this is not included. Muscle through the first few classes and I guarantee you will enjoy it. They often offer beginner packages too so ask!!

This is a fantastic gym!…read more The owner, Greg, is very approachable. I moved to Vancouver about a year ago and he was very helpful in getting the administrative side of my account changed. Greg is frequently in the club, often working out with his son! The club has very nice equipment and there is plenty to choose from; For cardio there are Bikes (both recumbent and upright), elliptical, ergs, stair steppers, treadmills, and more. For lifting there are free weights, various isolation machines, multiple squat racks, kettle bells, smith machine, and more. If you're into Plyo there is an entire studio of equipment you can use. Some of the more niche gear like a hack-squat is missing, but if you're well seasoned at the gym or ask an anytime trainer, there are plenty of other exercises that work similar muscles. I will say, there is a rush hour, on no fault of the gym. It's not unmanageable, but if you're an introvert the right after work time might not be right for you. All other times, especially early mornings are quite manageable. A month or so ago my workouts were more sluggish than ever, and I remembered what it felt like to really kill a workout, so I made an appointment for a personal trainer--Lucy! Lucy has a great repertoire of exercises--every workout with her is motivating and I am always completely drenched in sweat! With Lucy I have gained confidence not only in my physical abilities by emotionally. She's the true definition of a COACH. If you're looking for a reasonably priced, clean gym with a great location (just off the SkyTrain), I highly recommend this gym!

Equipment was always clean, and if it was ever down, it was never down for over a week. Maintenance and cleanliness were top-notch were a gym. There were more than enough accessories such as foam rollers and workout bands, etc. as well. The staff are incredibly friendly and always greet you if you're in during their hours. There's always personal training available to you and my favorite part is that they're busy, but never ABSOLUTELY packed like other gyms have been. I've since walked into many, many Anytime Fitness locations and this one is by FAR the cleanest, best-run location I've ever seen. I would come back here in a heartbeat. I really can't complain about anything at this location! Even the clientele at this location is super respectful, which made my experience at the gym a lot more comfortable. The ONLY downfall is that it's a bit pricey, but this isn't exactly location-dependent; the entire chain charges $50~/month+.

I worked most closely with Samer and Alochen, and was truly impacted by their enthusiasm, persistence, and kindness in helping me to achieve my goals. In 6 weeks I lost 12 lbs, transformed my body, lost 7.2% body fat, and gained significant muscle mass. I haven't felt this good in years, and I couldn't have done it without Kalev Fitness Solution. I would also like to express my appreciation for Alochen's empowering educational approach to personal training, placing emphasis on teaching me skills, developing independence, and improving my self-efficacy rather than just focusing on trainung me to become dependent so he could gain another client. I truly felt that he cared about my well-being.

I love the fact that this is a ladies-only facility. I tried Gold's Gym and felt very out of place there. This is a warm and non-threatening environment and the front desk ladies are always awesome and helpful. The only thing of note is that the music/microphone volume in the classes is unnecessarily loud but the last couple of times I've been there it seemed quieter, so maybe they've recently addressed this. Overall, great little facility in a convenient location. I hope it's there for some time to come.

Class Structure: Many hills and repeats. The music is more electronic or club-like music. If you enjoy singing along to pop music this studio may not be the best for you. There was 25 mins of cycling, 10-15 mins of upper body weights in the cycling saddle, and ended on "all out" cycling movements for last 10-15 mins. They provide you with cycling shoes which is a nice touch if you are travelling or dont own your pair. The class had a nice aesop-like smell with candles that added to the ambience. Instructors: My instructor was Kiki who has so much energy and was so motivating. She definetly had one of the best vibes of an instructor in a long time from my experiences. Music: The music was definitely on the VERY loud side. If thats is not your preference there are complimentary ear plugs for those who prefer to have less loud music. The loudness of the music did make it hard to hear the instructor at times. Amenities: One of the nicest studios in terms of amenities. There is a unisex change room with toilets and showers. All bath products are aesop. The vanity/mirror area is well equipped with cotton qtips, hair dryers, spray deodorants, hair products, moisturizers. There are full sized towels and face towels available, and plastic bags to put your dirty clothes in. There is a water fountain to refill your reuseable water bottle. There is also lockers to store your items that allow you to set your own combination.

It was super easy to sign up and book online ahead of time, I like that you can pick your seat too. I thought the $10 for the first class was super reasonable so I decided to give it a try. There's no need to tuck in your shoes laces because they provide world class Giro clip on shoes for you to wear, it's included with the class. I thought that was a very nice touch for safety as I've heard horror stories about laces getting caught in the machines and destroying shoes. The class is up beat, it's loud, there are ear plugs available at the front. I personally did not find it too loud but just right. It is a little tight inside but once you're on your bike you're ready to go. Arrive 10 minutes before class begins to check in, set your belongings inside a complimentary keyed locker and to put your Giro shoes on. Once you're inside the class room there will be assistance to help get your bike seat set and explain a few things. Fresh towel awaits you at your bike. Even if you're seated the whole time as long as you're pedaling you'll still feel a burn. The instructor was so enthusiastic and firm while remaining welcoming and easy going to all. I had a lot of fun and I recommend this class to anyone who is seeking a new way to maintain a healthy body. The class seemed a little intimidating but I signed up anyway and it was nice to know that there were a few other first timers in the class. There's tons of beautiful clothing for purchase inside. They also provide a filtered water filling station for your water bottle. There are showers and bathrooms which I saw fill up after the class. You will sweat a lot so be prepared! Have fun!

It's a nice studio with nice ambiance, but I found it a little difficult to see what the instructor was doing since I wasn't up front. I think I still prefer yoga studios with mirrors. In addition, I prefer "hot" yoga. The instructor I had that taught yin yoga with sound bath is really nice and attentive, but she said it was her last class that day and will be teaching at other y yoga locations further from me. So this review is based on the studio itself.

Classes are 50-minute circuit-style workouts with HIIT, strength, and cardio spread out across different stations. We did FIERCE (K-HIIT) with Ali Martinez, who gave us first timers a quick rundown of the gym before class. The class started with a warmup before we split off into our assigned stations, which included the SkiErg, rower, box jumps, weighted squats, ladders, and sandbags, among others. Most stations had two different exercises for some additional variety. Aside from the instructor's choice station, all stations had the respective workout playing on screen which made it easier to follow along. There were even motivational quotes and footage playing as you moved across stations! I also appreciated the end tables at each station because we could leave our water bottle and towel there, while also having a spray bottle readily available. The energy level was high throughout the class with the fist-bumping music and Ali's encouragement. I loved that there was a cooldown at the end with the roller to really target our sore spots. The mint towel at the end was the cherry on top! As Kommunity is on the pricier side (e.g. $435/month for unlimited), I would at least try the free first timer class and perhaps wait on a monthly promotion. That said, Kommunity takes the best parts of its competitors and meshes it into one sleek, modern gym - from F45 with its stations and video demos, to Barry's with its music and lights, to House with its lounge and merch, and to Equinox with its mint towels. Other amenities include lockers, a water bottle filling station, restrooms, and wifi.
