I've been climbing here on and off for years but I've finally decided to review this place. I came…read morehere today (02.15.2026) with my Japanese friend who was climbing for the first time. Layla helped us out and helped my friend with her orientation. She was very nice and took her time explaining things to her. Layla was overall very pleasant and lovely that I had to leave a review for this place. I've been to 20+ climbing gyms over the span of 10+ years but she was easily one of the best staff I've encountered. Aside from that, I love the sets and the feet washing station they offer. Overall a great place for all levels!

THIS IS A REVIEW FOR THE HIVE PORT COQ - Can't find the location on Yelp…read more We were excited to visit The Hive Coquitlam as a family, but unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. My wife and I brought our 8-month-old baby with us -- obviously too young to climb or even walk. We were simply hoping to enjoy a relaxed session while taking turns climbing and keeping our baby nearby. Initially, we had our baby sitting quietly on the mat near the back traverse wall, which was not in use. We held him up briefly against a hold to take a photo (he can't climb or even stand on his own). A staff member approached us and said our baby couldn't touch the holds unless we paid for him, which felt unnecessary but we complied. He also told us the baby was ALLOWED to sit on the mat. Later, we moved to the Kilter Board area -- again, with no other climbers present -- and continued taking turns climbing while our baby sat beside us. A different staff member came over and told us babies are not allowed on the mat at all. When we mentioned what the first staff member said, she simply responded that she didn't know why he would say that. We felt like we were being shuffled around and treated as an inconvenience, despite being respectful and careful not to disrupt anyone. What was most frustrating was the inconsistent information from staff -- it left us confused and unwelcome. If The Hive has specific policies about infants in the facility, that's understandable. But those policies should be clear, consistent, and communicated respectfully. Sadly, this experience left us feeling that young families are not welcome here.

Want a review on the gym aka fitness centre? Here it is…read more As far as a gym goes? Hands down, no questions asked, top 5 worst gyms I have ever been to in my life. And I been to gyms in 3rd world countries like Laos and Cambodia. What's a good comparison to this gym? It's like a hotel gym but worse. This gym is very very small. If you actually lift bro, you won't last in this gym. It totally makes sense why you can only book 1 hour and max of 20 people, because if there were 20 people in there, there would be no space left to workout, it's really that small. There's no equipment in this gym, it gives you the bare basic amount of gym equipment to call it a gym, there's like 5 treadmills, 1 stairmaster, a couple bo-flex apparatuses. There's some free weights and some squat racks. But yea this gym is pretty bad in terms of what you have to workout with. If you pay for a community center membership for about $500 a year, you would be bored within a month due to the lack of size lack of equipment. I came without my phone because being on your phone is a huge distraction at the gym, even having ear pods in, you're not gonna totally focus on your workout. Kind of a bad idea because there is NO music whatsoever here. It's deadly quiet. Even the people that lift, the noises of people exercising is quiet, top 5 quietest gyms. Being new to Vancouver, I liked the thought of a "community center" where ppl in the community can get ripped together, but there is none of that in this gym. Definitely a 1 star gym, gonna give it a 2 star reviews, because the center probably does good things for the community, the staff here is friendly, I saw some kids workin out downstairs. Yea you couldn't pay me to workout here again yall. Keepin it real as always

This community centre is very responsive to the neighbourhood…read more The kid's gym class has been going for years; I am certain that kids of kids are now attending and learning whole body movement. Ballet for all levels from toddler to adult. Line dancing for those who line dance. The library, while small, is well-run and with the floor to ceiling windows, is bright even on a rainy Vancouver day. Important sporting events are shown on the tv in the lobby, popular cartoons at other times. The gym is small, but well-equipped for an average to high workout. It is not a gang-banger hang-out. The gym is definitely inclusive; some folks are there with their gym buddies, others devise a circuit work out, others engage a personal trainer. Currently paper towels are used for wipe downs- I bring my own cloth and toss it in the laundry with my gym clothes. Front desk staff are mainly pleasant; they deal with a diverse clientele and seem to manage well. Focus on "community" and you will have an enjoyable experience at Mount Pleasant Community Centre. Located at 1 Kingsway, across from Gene coffee, parking is a disaster, bus 3, 9, 8, 99 are close by.

This review is for the fitness center only…read more But it's a very nice one. Not being one for megagyms, I come here. It's got all the essentials you'd expect to find anywhere, (no kettle bells though so crossfitters stay away!) and doesn't get too crowded. However like all gyms it has overly buff workout - enthusiasts who tend to "camp" on the equipment. So if you can, go during the day when it's a bit quieter. they also offer personal training and physiotherapy sessions, and your north van recreation membership is good at all the other community centre's in North Vancouver.

It's great that…read morethere are so many community centres that offer affordable access to classes, fitness centers, pools, ice rinks, and is a safe place for people to gather. There are community centres in the U.S. but not so many, not so well run, and not so inclusive of the whole neighborhood. Riley Park Community Centre is one of the many community centres that is a short bike ride from my home. It has an amazing pool called the Aquatic Centre at Hillcrest Park. The pool is clean and heated. There is plenty of parking for your vehicle or bicycle. There's also a fitness center. A brand new public library branch is currently being constructed adjacent to the pool facilities. During the winter months, the parking lot becomes a farmer's market on Saturdays. What more can you ask for?

The prices for registering for intramurals have gone down (a student team for Day of the Longboat used to be $160, now it's $100), and the Birdcoop prices have gone down to $25 per semester. Unfortunately, that also means that the Birdcoop is more crowded. However, I do enjoy the lower intramural prices. UBC Rec also has summer activities like day hikes, on which I attempted to go on and this is the majority of the reason why my rating is so low. Me and 2 friends signed up for a Squamish Chief day hike and drove all the way from Burnaby to UBC, where we were to meet the guide and the rest of the group at 7am (we woke up at 5am). There were two guides, 1 who met us at UBC and drove the minibus and the other we were supposed to pick up in N. Van. The guide driving, as we drove over the Lion's Gate, ran over a construction pylon and just said (when we looked freaked out/bewildered like "WTF was that?"), "oh.. I guess I must have taken out an orange cone! oh well.." Then we picked up the guide, filled up gas (the guide didn't even get out to check if the mini bus was okay after hitting the cone), and went on our way. About 3-5 km on to the highway, the minibus putters out and the guide pulls over on Hwy 1. And then she realizes... "oh, I didn't realize I was supposed to fill it with diesel!" Yeah.... we all had to hike back on Hwy 1 to the nearest exit to catch a translink bus back to UBC where I parked my car, then drive back to Burnaby. It was a fun morning. The guide that led us back showed little regard for my group since we decided not to continue with them and hike Grouse. She didn't even cover our bus fare back to UBC (she covered the others'). At least they later refunded my money fully and the bus fare.
