All plans come with a locked-in rate guarantee and no long-term contracts.
Our floor is equipped with top-tier commercial gear from brands that professionals trust, including Rogue racks and barbells, Hammer Strength plate-loaded machines, Atlantis strength equipment, LifeFitness cardio, and Cybex cable systems. Whether you are focusing on strength training, conditioning, or functional movement, you will find the serious equipment needed to reach your goals. We also feature clean change rooms and showers for your convenience.
Beyond the equipment, THE YARD is a hub for local fitness professionals. We host a network of certified personal trainers such as Charlene Dawn, Darcy, and Carla, who offer tailored coaching, habit-building programs, and strength & conditioning services. Our community is built on mutual respect; members range from tradespeople training at midnight to new gym-goers finding their confidence. Come experience the space that has been Campbell River’s go-to gym for over a decade, where your health and fitness journey are supported by a team that truly cares.
Yard Fitness: Reviews

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff and vibe. Fair prices. Solid equipment despite some being a bit outdated (e.g., rectangular bench seats). Never too busy. Everything you need for a good pump and 24/7 access is a bonus.
Fantastic experience: The Yard was my first Gym Experience, I was afraid at first but everyone was very polite an all the other goers were respectful too. Darcy was great at the front desk too.
Fantastic experience: I have belonged to The Yard for about 2 1/2 years. Lots of equipment, open 24 hours a day, online check-in, helpful staff. I have always felt comfortable there right from the first time I went.
Fantastic experience: The yard is the best! No fuss, no fancy pants vibes. It has all the essentials for equipment. Welcoming to all ages and abilities.
Fantastic experience: Got a full weekend on Leg, Push, Pull. Great little spot, easy online sign up for drop ins. Super helpful staff over the phone to navigate the online drop ins - no in person sign up required. Highly recommend for a gym if you’re visiting town for a short period.
Fantastic experience: Enjoy the atmosphere here where it feels like a gym and not a club. Great service, easy access and generally equipment is easily available.
Positive experience: Gym is one of the best equipped I’ve been too I trialled this gym when deciding where to go. The bathroom and shower are is one of the worst, and when this is a vital part of your membership, it just doesn’t hold enough value. 80 a month for a normal membership is very high for 1 person! If they did it for couples I could see value, but when you can sign up to planet fitness for 30 in other towns and bring a guest anytime and little more for anytime fitness then the value is hard to compare. I also prefer their bathroom and shower facilities more than the yard. Lack of water fountain is also very unprofessional for a gym. Costs nothing compared to the machines, so were expected to use a kitchen sink to fill ♂️
I'm sorry I've never heard anyone complain about filling water from a sink before lol. Our passes aren't $80 a month, there's no planet fitness or $30 gyn in town so not sure what you're talking about. Our bathrooms are typically the cleaned in town, sorry if you were in there when it wasn't up to par. I looked up your name and you've never been a member here
