Gymbox: Opinions
Positive experience: Cannot say enough about the vibe and inclusivity of this place. 100p recommend
Fantastic experience: Great workout spade. Creative programs and ton of fun plus not expensive!! Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Great class, Awesome venue
Fantastic experience: Tony gave me a very fair rate to use this gym whilst on holiday and visiting friends, a great gym with more than enough equipment! 5/5 would recommend!
Fantastic experience: You should try GymBox if you haven't already. I've tried different fitness clubs for group classes, ranging from Fitness World to Orange Theory, but the atmosphere at GymBox is unlike any other. People there are down to earth, friendly, and helpful, not to mention, the membership is affordable in comparison to other brands. Coaches are experienced trainers. Coach Tylor Hill is knowledgeable. She rarely repeats any exercise and makes sure that you perform well and that your posture is always in proper form to avoid injuries, which I believe is very important. Her exercises target every muscle group, and you will notice a difference in your shape in just a few weeks. Coach Ali Al-ethawy is enthusiastic and eager to push you to your limits. He attends to the needs of each member of the class and ensures that your level of fitness keeps improving over time. His Athletic Performance class is a killer. He always smiles and has the same upbeat outlook as the other coaches.
Fantastic experience: Good trainers, clean gym, I’ve been sore for a cpl days since that workout. We will be back!
Fantastic experience: Gymbox is a fantastic local neighborhood business and I've really enjoyed my workouts here since I started coming about a year ago. Owner Tony Huggins has created an awesome space with every piece of equipment you can think of — and then some. Gymbox also provides a very welcoming, nonjudgmental atmosphere which is a big plus in the personal fitness industry.
Fantastic experience: I have an annual membership at gym box since last year... i was off for the last 5 months and returned yesterday. It felt great to be back! I often do the group classes that offer a variety of times through out the day. There have been upgrades to the gym with added equipment. Washrooms have lockers and showers available. Very clean atmosphere. All the trainers have great energy and provide guidance and encouragement during class! I noticed improvements in my strength, form and overall physical/mental health from coming to class. Offer classes for targeting different areas. Everyone is friendly, welcoming, not an intimating place to work out. They offer personal training, classes or option to use facility to do your own training There was a girl who took a class last night on Class Pass for the first time ,I spoke with her after and encouraged her to come back! I would recommend anyone of any fitness level to come to Gym Box.Thank you team at Gymbox!!
Fantastic experience: Great company to work with. Very friendly and great Atmosphere. Highly recommended
Positive experience: Great time but they ran out of fish and chips around 11am.
Fantastic experience: Friendly classes awesome trainers.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service, top facilities, and a great vibe to the whole thing. I've been a gym rat for years, and this is my favourite gym to train at.
Positive experience: Been going here for many years. The staff are great, very friendly gym-rats here. Trainers are awesome! Price is a bit high though. Space is limited - but that also is why it's such a tight knit community.
Fantastic experience: Was skeptical before joining because I didn’t hear good things in the past. But under this new ownership, things are definitely way better then I expected. Employees, trainers and clientele are all super nice and friendly. The facilities is clean and tidy and nicely spaced out. They have stayed ahead of the curve during these Covid times. There is a good variety of trainers and classes to meet all your needs. I’ve been a gym rat for many years and this gym meets all my needs. You definitely have to come check this gym out.
Fantastic experience: I have been to many studios and gyms and have come in contact with my share of teachers and trainers, but I must say that the level of knowledge, professionalism and customer service I've experienced at Gym Box is the best I've seen. I also had an amazing body assessment, the most complete and accurate I've ever received. I recommend these guys from the heart and I dare say they're the best gym in Vancouver. You just need to visit once and you'll know what I mean. I rarely write reviews, but in this case I just felt compelled to do it.
Fantastic experience: Gymbox is such an amazing place to train! All of the personal trainers are personable and friendly, regardless if you're training with them or not. When you walk in you always receive warm greetings from Laura or Aoi. The energy of the room itself is motivating as everyone there is excited to be there. My personal trainer Vesna kicks my butt every time I come in. I have seen great strides of improvement in my physical health since training with her postpartum. As a bonus, she holds onto my little baby for me while I train... So I literally have no excuses and my little guy loves her so much. She is truly a beautiful soul inside and out! It's also great to finish your session with a delicious smoothie on your way out, as you get a bit of a discount because you've trained.
Fantastic experience: Great staff! Great equipement.
Negative experience: they do NOT put the AC on ever, so working out in the summer is brutal and everyone just smells the place up. TURN ON THE AC AND CLOSE THE DOOR.
Fantastic experience: Great classes
Positive experience: So far the trainers have been great in all the classes. The music is aweful! Techno music?! Music is everything to a great workout, it's just as important to the workout. Feels like a club more than a gym because of it. Please stop the techno and consider more motivating workout music.
Hi Sylvana Thank you for your feedback, we will monitor the music choices more closely. It can be challenging to please all the different taste, and all the request. Next time your in stop and chat with us, I would be happy to find a playlist that better fits your workouts. Happy New Years !
Fantastic experience: Great facility with some amazing trainers and a great smoothie bar. Ask for James, he's the best trainer I've ever worked with thanks to his in-depth training need assessments.
Negative experience: I have been a member for 8 months in 2017. At the very beginning I liked it very much. There are way cheaper gyms in the area but the idea of having a good place where to train, with happy trainers and some good tools, keeping it kinda "family welcoming" is unique, a great added value. Unfortunately it did not last for so long. Trainers and schedules where changing too often and without notice, there have been a disruptive turnover. Many personal trainers started working at the gym, so the space was reduced especially during the peak hours (after 5 pm to 7 pm) At a certain point, an area likely 20% or more of the total room has been reserved to CrossFit and guess what?I had to pay (extra) if I wanted to join the courses ! Of course the members of the gym did not receive any discount or "whatever" as a good sign from the management. After having expressed my disappointment via e-mail, when I went to the gym to discuss it face to face (Black Friday 2017 lunch time) , the manager, who was training alone 20 meters in front of my eyes, sent a guy to the desk to tell me she had canceled the membership...later on she wrote that it was her lunch-break, not understanding how insulting and disrespectful this behavior resounded to me. Beside the episodes, I want to underline that the promise of a nice and comfortable environment has been constantly rent out or made available to different parties which took over the room I had for training.
Positive experience: They are good if you are looking for a place that can also accomadate wheelchairs
Fantastic experience: Great energy ... caring and knowledgeable staff ... overall a great place to get training!
Thank you Michael, we appreciate the kind words!
Fantastic experience: Great classes and really good trainers
Fantastic experience: They do a great work beyond the gym. They donate to charity so and help ordinary people get healthy. Definitely recommend
Fantastic experience: Hugh is fantastic. Never miss a class.
Fantastic experience: Really nice staff, very helpful and generous. Helped me a huge amount!
Thank you Niall, we appreciate the great review. Let's us know if you need anything. The Gymbox team
Fantastic experience: Only started my one week trial and already loving to hate it. Great vibe, good people, best trainers and very very hard workouts. Killing me.
Welcome to Gymbox Netali!
Negative experience: It is time to finally write my rating for GymBox. I have been a member for 8 months and honestly I have been going quite often to the gym, I believe that the gym is like a "second home" and I am quite dedicated to work outs. My experience with GymBox was negative and I decided to leave the gym because of an important issue: I was not paying anymore for the service that I had at the beginning! Many things changed suddenly and without notice... Be aware of the following: 1) New types of classes and trainings are happening at the gym... BUT THOSE ARE NOT for the GymBox members but for external people! The manager likes to try new combinations of training packages, some of those are afterwards added to the regular membership but in the meanwhile you are asking yourself what is going on. The regular gym service is usually damaged and I missed several weeks of training because the gym was too busy for training sessions that I COULD NOT JOIN! As I said, those may ended up in the regular membership later but for few months I saw external people invading the GymBox space. Paying for a service you cannot make use of is not nice... 2) Be prepared to squeeze in a tiny small space. Sincerely the gym is already quite small and cannot host many members. The management keeps on pushing people inside and everything becomes very uncomfortable. 129.00 bucks a month is not the price you want to pay for this type of service. 3) There are very valid instructors at GymBox... But there is a big turnover. The best instructors simply leave after few months. If you are lucky you can work out for 2-3 months with the same instructor. For the rest , classes and times are ALWAYS switching. Whenever you find your best time for you it will get deleted/moved. Which is not really optimal for a training schedule... 4) And the most ridiculous thing: I found the management not really concerned about the issues I listed above. I have repeatedly written and contacted but nothing changed! As a customer, I felt quite unsatisfied This was of course my own experience with GymBox, maybe you can be more lucky. This gym is indeed quite hectic, you can experience a good period of time, maybe few months and than again some changes and "pains"... who knows!
Fantastic experience: They do a great work beyond the gym. They donate to charity so and help ordinary people get healthy. Definitely recommend
Negative experience: I would avoid this place as they are seem to be big scammers , they share a parking with the Indian restaurant but they locked out my car ,,,no sign that this parking is only for gymbox and no sign of hours of operation for parking lot , it's the same parking as Indian restaurant and there is no sign that the parking is dedicated for gymbox , I left all my keys and medications in the car and they locked me up .I will avoid a place that have no sense of humanity .
Hello Ehsan We apologize for you experience. We do not share parking with the restaurant we have our own lot with a big Gymbox sign on the gate. It’s unfortunate your car was locked in again we apologize for the inconvenience.
Fantastic experience: Great community atmosphere! Awesome trainers and staff!
Negative experience: Unloyal , did work with us and didn't pay for a video they wanted created . They lied and never paid for a video that we put Time and effort to create for them. I won't support them
Fantastic experience: A gym that knows how to treat its clients. The technical skills of their trainers are top notch and the gym itself is beautiful. Lots of natural light and positive energy. Feels like the gym for the everyday person looking to achieve their goals. Gibs has helped me absolutely crush my goals. Have not tried their lunchtime classes but the people I see doing them always look so stoked.
