Collective Fitness Kitsilano

Positive experience: A satisfactory experience, but nothing outstanding.

Fantastic experience: This place is awesome. Great staff, very inclusive and positive environment. Kellen is an amazing trainer. The owner (Fynn) has built a very good gym.

Fantastic experience: My experience at Collective Fitness was amazing! I was staying in Vancouver for 4-months for work, and I was able to continue my cross-fit training through their gym. The coaches were very welcoming and knowledgeable, and their training programs were excellent.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this gym! It has changed my life. I have met so many fantastic people at Kits crossfit. Everyday I'm excited to go to classes. The coaches are fantastic and make me a better athlete everyday! Everyone is warm and welcoming. They are also encouraging through the workouts regardless of your athletic ability. I have been a member for over a year and will continue to be for a long time.

Fantastic experience: Visiting from out of town and dropped in for a work out recently, and was warmly welcomed and coached as if I was a long-time member. Great facilities, friendly atmosphere, and excellent coaching. Highly recommend CF Kitsilano for anyone in the area, either visiting or looking for a full time fitness program.

Fantastic experience: I'm visiting from out of town (Los Angeles) and CF Kitsilano is a great box and community. They were very accommodating to allow me to participate in one of their classes. Kat and Karina were both very welcoming and friendly. The box is very cozy and their Wolfpack insignia on their board is awesome! I think they should really incorporate it back in to their box t-shirts. CF Kitsilano has great coaches. Kat and Karina were very attentive to everyone making sure everyone had great form and efficiency, especially for the 15.5 open workout we did today. Kat gave advice on how to row efficiently and spent a few extra minutes with me to get rhythm down correctly. Karina also helped all of us correct and tweak our thruster technique. If you want a small and intimate gym feel, CrossFit Kitsilano is a great encouraging place to be. The members are super nice and are always cheering you on to finish those reps. Whether you're visiting from out of town or a local looking for new fitness goals, please give CFK a try- they know what they are doing! The best part of this place is they're dog friendly and have cute doggies that greet you on your way in! Bonus: The coaches make you do some mobility cool down post exercise stretches and dynamic movements before you leave!

Fantastic experience: By far the best Cross Fit experience I could ever have started with! Cross Fit was a completely new experience for me and despite my shyness, I went for an intro session in June of 2013. I realized how unfit I was, but how much I wanted to change that. After the 'Elements' session that all new Cross Fitters need to take, I was sold. I started off with a 6 month membership only to then renew for a year in April 2014. I can't say enough good things about CFK. The coaches are professional, experienced and know how to make this a fun environment. The members are just as fun and very encouraging. If you have any hesitations about Cross Fit at all, this place will change your way of thinking. Fynn and crew - Well done! You've got yourself a resident member!

Fantastic experience: Took a chance on Crossfit K and was very happy/surprised by the wonderful instruction I received here. I was very lucky to get Nathan as my Elements instructor, who really listened to everything I wanted to achieve fitness wise, encouraged me, and patiently scrutinized my form to make sure I was lifting absolutely right. You can really tell this is a gym that genuinely wants you to succeed and do well, and I think anyone who jumps in here will get that right away.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality

Fantastic experience: Great group and coaches. Good vibes all round, getting fit! Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I came to CFK without previous athletic background and wanting to find a community which can support me in building a more active lifestyle. And I found exactly just that. You have to take mandatory foundation classes which gave you solid movements foundation that can be applied beyond the classes. I did my intro with Iker who provided great insights to my body movements and always has your back in every class. Even for a beginner like me, the movements are scalable and I could see my progression within 6-8 months after my first visit. While COVID restricted some of the more social aspects of the gym compared to normal, I still find that the people you meet in class truly roots for you (which goes a long way when you feel like giving up). I cannot recommend this place enough for everyone, no matter what kind of fitness goals you are looking for. You’ll find the workout energizing and fun (though hard), as well as a supportive community of coaches and attendees.

Fantastic experience: I joined CFK over half a year ago as a beginner to CrossFit. I joined with the goal of keeping active and learning something new, but I soon realized the strong sense of community and friendship that's formed at this box. The owner is passionate about CFK and very friendly. He did a great job in making changes in response to the recent pandemic and social environment. He really went a long way to keep members engaged during the lockdown and to continuously improve the class offerings and schedules. All of the coaches are also fantastic. They are extremely knowledge and very engaged in helping and motivating everyone during the class. The coaches are definitely what makes the difference in a class. I highly recommend this box for anyone interested in joining CrossFit!

Fantastic experience: This place is like a second home to me. I enjoy the workouts, but I look forward to going because of the friends I’ve made there. Small classes means you get more attention from instructors, and after a while they know when to push you and when your giving your all.

Fantastic experience: Awesome crossfit family

Fantastic experience: Dropped-in and was immediately welcome! Let me drop in to classes as well as open gym. Gave me flexibility to workout while travelling. Will come back again!

Fantastic experience: Started at this gym as a beginner to Crossfit and went through the elements program with Iker, one of the coaches at CFK. He was great, taught me everything I needed to know, helped push me mentally, and was right there when I had any questions. The overall atmosphere is awesome, its a friendly, caring community and everyone wants to see you succeed! The owner is very involved and you can tell he is passionate about his gym, and what he does. Would recommend this to anyone!

Fantastic experience: It’s been a month and I’m hooked. Very well maintained box. Good community feeling, owner is nice and accommodating, and trainers are experienced and really invested in seeing you grow.

Fantastic experience: Great box. Inviting and friendly for all levels. The coaches really take the time to go over positioning and technique. It has helped me push my strength and fitness beyond what I could have got to by myself in a fun environment.

Fantastic experience: I had a fantastic time dropping in on the CFK crew today :) Im from out of town and popped in just in time for a workout. They were inviting and friendly and had a great program lined up for the class. Do go check them out, especially if you're in the mood for getting into a good community of people who are serious about living healthy, but not pretentious.

Fantastic experience: Really awesome group & culture here. I joined as a beginner to Crossfit while in town for a few months and learnt heaps! Everyone is super welcoming & supports each other no matter what level you're at. The coaches know their stuff and are passionate about what they do

Fantastic experience: I started private training with the owner after my doctors ordered me to start working out, following confirmation of Traumatic Brain Injury. He was patient and understood that he would have to tell me over and over again the technique or the exercises because my memory was zero and my brain would forget and in shut down mode. I literally could not do a flow without him telling me what came next. So he has the patience to deal with anyone if he could deal with me in recovery from TBI and Neck Compression. I then had to take a break due to major shoulder injury sustained on my return to work and even though I’m still recovering 10 months later, I have rebounded and he has tailored sessions for me specifically to ensure that we don’t over do it, or that I don’t need manipulation and that I keep good form. He went out of his way to do major research to teach me different movements, alignment techniques and explains when to push me through an exercise. But more importantly HE LISTENS - he respects that I know my body just as well and when I say I need to take it slow or it feels off and we suddenly have switch up the routine he does no questions asked. I’m in recovery and even though we are increasing progress, he is my number cheerleader. Reminding me to strong mentally first and physically second. So even though they are well known for #crossfit they really do private training even more and #functionalbodybuilding is just as hard as CrossFit and perfect for those with injuries and mobility issues.

Fantastic experience: CFK is a great place with knowledgeable staff, a caring community and with a focus on quality of movement over quantity. I've been at the gym for over two years, and it is always a highlight of my week. I'm a middle-aged guy with a lot of responsibility for aging parents, teenage kids and people I care for where I work. But regardless of how difficult life gets, I can always count on a great workout, lots of laughs with a community of friends and a freeing of my mind from the burdens of life.

Fantastic experience: I couldn’t be more grateful to be part of the CFK community. People come here to improve their health and fitness under the guidance of knowledgeable coaches, and end up staying not only for this reason, but also because of the positive impact that this supportive community has on their whole lives. Lifelong friendships and positive life habits are formed at CFK. AND we have a lot of fun along the way.

Fantastic experience: Went for a drop in last week on my way through Van to Ldn. Friendly bunch, knowledgable coaches and good solid workout. Would recommend.

Fantastic experience: Coming up on a year at CFK at love it. Young, energetic and easy going coaches who all know their stuff, including several competing at high level competitions. Skill level of members range from beginner to experienced; great vibe.

Fantastic experience: Intimate box which is great for getting to know everyone. Very friendly and welcoming. Coaches are engaged and helpful. Convenient location. Thanks Fynn for the hospitality!

Fantastic experience: When I first walked in to Crossfit Kitsilano I was immediately greeted by not one but two coaches. They welcomed me, showed me around, and asked a lot of questions about me (sports history, lifestyle, activity levels). I was shopping around for a crossfit gym, but I didn't have to look any further because they made me feel so comfortable and right at home. I have now been a proud member of CFK for over a year now. The coaching is on point, they are VERY flexible with their schedule, pricing is at par with the other gyms, the sense of community is outstanding, and the owner would bend over backwards to help anyone in his path. This gym has absolutely changed my life and the way I approach fitness. Definitely come in and see for yourself!

Positive experience: Crossfit Kits is an amazing gym. It has a strong community feel . All the coaches go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and connected. They warmly introduce you to other members and give you personal and consistent attention. They ensure you are doing the routines/weightlifting correctly so you feel on top of your game. They are very encouraging , and no matter what level you are at, they support and encourage you, as do the other members of the gym. I joined with my two teenage sons, and they love it. They really feel a connection with their community and are inspired to work out. Worth every dollar!

Fantastic experience: I've been going to CFK for about three months and it is change the way I think about working out and my health. The staff at the gym are very knowledgeable and really know what they are doing in every level of cross fit and mobility. It is a great community they have there and they really made me feel welcome and push me to do better!

Fantastic experience: My experience at CFK has been fun. The coaches are knowledgeable and friendly and the community is welcoming and supportive.

Fantastic experience: Dropped in from out of town. Great experience. Very welcoming and a cool group. If you're in from out of town it is definitely worth dropping in.

Fantastic experience: Great facility, amazing coaches, and fantastic community! As an Olympian (Ski Jumping, 2006), I have seen my fair share of gyms and this one is special! The smaller size of this gym really promotes the community aspect of a bunch of friends going to work out together, get fit together, have fun together, and motivate each other to succeed, whatever your goal is. The coaching is world class and new programs like Cross-fit Kids are helping to build that community feel even more. I consider myself lucky to be a part of such an amazing group of people!

Fantastic experience: Great facility! Highly recommend it.
