Convenient and beautiful location in West Point Grey
Our location at 2083 Alma Street (corner of Alma and 5th) is easy to reach by transit and has lots of free parking.
Our well-equipped gym has massive windows (some of which open wide) on all sides, ensuring a bright, welcoming environment, even on rainy Vancouver days.
We often incorporate the beautiful outdoor space that surrounds us into our personal training workouts, using Jericho Beach for longer runs, 8th Avenue for hill work, and the route around Jericho Village for shorter runs and weight carrying exercises.
We'd love to meet you!
Now that you know a bit about us, we’d love the chance to get to know you.
