CrossFit^® Lions West

Fantastic experience: This gym had created an amazing and welcoming community. I was having trouble getting back into a fitness routine that I would commit to for more than a few weeks. So, I decided to try out a class and signed up for a month. I started to see results pretty quickly and became hooked. The coaches are great, and so are the other members. I have only been going for the last 6 months, and I can't wait to see where I will be after another 6 months

Fantastic experience: Great workouts, amazing coaches, and a fun, comfortable atmosphere. I've been going here for a few years now and the WODs never get boring. The coaches are very knowledgeable, friendly, and always happy to accommodate different skill levels. CrossFit Lions is for everyone, not at all intimidating. Loving the results I'm seeing so far and looking forward to learning more.

Fantastic experience: love this gym n techniques, love all the coaches and classes! buuutt.. love David's classes mostly! i literally do every class with him; he goes above and beyond for each of his trainees in class, he is operating all of us like a personal trainer! he is knowladgable about his work! and take care of every one more than anybody! just give your wokouts based on your needs, so kindhearted and cheerful♥️

Fantastic experience: The best CrossFit gym I have ever been! Thanks to Chris for this fantastic place!

Fantastic experience: Where do I even begin? CrossFit Lions has undoubtedly surpassed my wildest expectations and transformed my fitness journey like no other. From the moment I walked through the doors, I was captivated by the energizing atmosphere, the supportive community, and the unparalleled expertise of the trainers. Without a doubt, I am beyond satisfied with my experience at CrossFit Lions! I am thrilled to share that I recommended CrossFit Lions to three of my friends, and they are equally delighted with their experiences. Together, we have found a fitness haven that brings us joy, fulfillment, and incredible results!!! Thank you!!!!

Fantastic experience: Great community at Crossfit Lions! The coaches are very attentive and the workout is scalable for every level. I’ve really enjoyed my first few months as part of the gym and highly recommend the place for anyone looking for a supportive Crossfit gym.

Fantastic experience: Been going here for a month now and I love it, everyone is incredibly nice, the owner Chris is super friendly, and creates an awesome non-judgmental environment. Great place

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Chris has been in the industry for a long time and knows his stuff. He works with you at whatever your fitness level is. Which is great for beginners. Can’t say enough good things about this place. A real community.

Fantastic experience: A good place to do CrossFit. They have several classes a day. I did not have any experience before and received some good initial technique training by the owner, Chris.

Fantastic experience: Heck of a workout!

Fantastic experience: The coaches are excellent and make sure everyone gets a great workout by doing the moves properly and the community is also very supportive. Chris, the owner is super friendly with wealth of experience.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic training environment. Having been involved in the CrossFit community for almost a decade, I've seen a lot of gyms. Lions has it all.

Fantastic experience: The owner - Chris - is one if the nicest people you will meet. Friendly with everyone, cares about his gym, his people, and his coaches. Great gym with great programming.

Fantastic experience: Can’t believe I waited this long to join Lions. Fantastic team of coaches, two great locations, and amazing people to workout with. Highly recommend it.

Fantastic experience: Extremely welcoming with a very friendly atmosphere. Crossfit Lions wasn't my first experience with crossfit, but definitely the best!

Fantastic experience: Greatly enjoy the workouts here with amazing members and coaches!

Fantastic experience: Fun and focused training. Chris does a great job to welcome everyone into the gym and make sure you can participate at your level, for your goals. All done with humor and support.

Fantastic experience: Love the fact that we can use two locations located near each bridge on the North Shore. Programming follows decacomp which is awesome AND the proof is in the pudding... I’m pushing 50 yrs old and still PRing, multiple games athletes and a great community.

Fantastic experience: So glad I found lions! Was incredibly intimidated to start but I’ve never felt more comfortable in a gym in my life. Zero judgementy vibes just tons of fun workouts.

Fantastic experience: Great gyms (West and East location) with very knowledgeable and helpful coaches. They also have several different classes to chose from too! Cardio/Sprint class, boot camp, Olympic lifting, Crossfit, etc.

Fantastic experience: This gym has been my second home for the past 9 years and I wouldn't have it any other way!

Fantastic experience: The most welcoming gym! No nonsense training and equipment, nice clean facility, and best of all it’s not crowded.

Fantastic experience: I love this pain cave. Chris will take you to your dark place and back. A year ago I was a sack of potatos. Now I can bar n ring muscle up, hand stand push up, and not cry after a workout. Although I still prefer to cry.

Fantastic experience: I travel extensively due to work. This has become an opportunity for me to visit a number boxes around the world. And this is why I am always glad to be back at Crossfit Lions West, the cave where I feel home. My gratitude and credit to Chris and the coaching team for having built an setting where commitment, comradery and fun meet and help anyone (in whatever level one may be) in their search to be fit-for-purpose.

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere with all coaches finding options for exercises that match your abilities. Support for fellow attendees is constant and makes the workouts enjoyable.....while also pushing you to do your best!

Fantastic experience: The coaches/classes helped me get back to myself post pregnancy :) Great, supportive environment where you can achieve your fitness goals :D

Fantastic experience: Knowledgeable team and super friendly environment

Fantastic experience: Come for the Crossfit, stay for the Community. Crossfit Lions West is a challenging, supportive and fun gym environment. I'm just as motivated and excited to go as I was when I first started 18 months ago.

Fantastic experience: I joined the CrossFit Lion about 6 months ago and have been enjoying every session and made great progress so far. I have lost about 10 lb. Chris is very knowledgeable, the coaches are very supportive and members are very friendly. Highly recommend CF.

Fantastic experience: I have been doing Crossfit for over 9 years at Crossfit Lions. Chris and his team have managed to create a sense of community that goes beyond the time at the gym. He has done a great job at engaging the members in activities both social and exercise focused that make coming to the gym a pleasant experience. Crossfit Lions is a place where you can come everyday, sweat a bit, have a healthy sense of competition for all levels of fitness and enjoy the time around people who know you and help you to get better and reach your fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: Joining Crossfit Lions was one of the best move I have ever made. The coaches are very knowledgeable and attentive and make the workouts enjoyable and reasonably tough. Thank you coaches :)

Fantastic experience: I've really enjoyed working out at CrossFit Lions. What I love is the fun, but really comfortable atmosphere. It's not intimidating, and the classes are wonderfully welcoming, engaging, and modified to various skill levels. Highly recommended, regardless of age and skill. Chris and the coaches are great! Looking forward to continuing my workouts here.

Fantastic experience: Love Crossfit Lions! Been a member for 7 + years and never looked back. Strong sense of community at this gym and you are always welcome whether it's a drop in, general fitness athlete or serious athlete!

Fantastic experience: Crossfit Lions is awesome - I recommend it to anyone who is a beginner or serious athlete. Workouts are always varied & challenging, coaching is personal & great, community & atmosphere keep me coming back!

Fantastic experience: I came to the gym in order to rehab a lot of injuries. The coaching staff have all been great and have allowed me to work at the pace I need to rather than forcing me to do Rx workouts and injure myself further (something I experienced dropping in at some other Crossfit gyms). Chris is awesome and I can totally recommend the gym.

Fantastic experience: What started as a reason for improving a certain health condition three years ago, ended up to become quite a passion for me coming to Lions. Even though I am in perfect health now, I am continuing to attend the Lions classes even more. This is thanks to Chris and his excellent team who made me enjoying classes so much. I am not that young anymore, but I can say that I am in my best shape ever. A variety of exercises, professional guidance from instructors, motivation, team spirit during workout, and a lot of humor and fun, are to mention only a few. Health, fitness and wellbeing are ones of my greatest and important achievements at Lions! Thank you Lions, you deserve way more than 5 stars!

Fantastic experience: I have never walked into a place and immediately felt comfortable. The owners and coaches of Crossfit Lions are friendly, knowledgeable and know their sh!t :). Obviosly, they want you to get stronger and be a better athlete, they strive everyday to give incredible support regarless on what your fitness level is (level 0, level 1...etc.). They make every workout challenging!..but also scaled it to your best ability. It really has made me an athlete and everyday I strive to become better. Great community, and this place ROCKS!!!

Fantastic experience: I have been working out for 20 years but 6 months of this crossfit has given me more results than all those years combined. Coaches are amazing, workouts are a challenge everytime, and the owner has great customer service. I highly recommend Crossfit Lions/Makers body Crossfit.

Fantastic experience: Being a part of the CrossFit Lions community has been a wonderful experience. The coaching I got made a huge difference in my performance. Being there made me want to push myself harder. I felt welcome from the moment I walked in for my first class and I would recommend the Lions for people of any age and any fitness level.

Fantastic experience: I joined CrossFit Lions in late November 2018. I was in moderate shape at the time. But after three months of going there regularly with a 2 week break in December 2018, I reached a whole new level of flexibility in my hips and gained back, shoulder and leg strength. My body became way more chiseled and defined. I am now able to breath greater volumes of air through my nose rather than having to breath using my mouth while exercising. Almost got a four pack of abdominal muscles and have begun to use multiple muscle groups at once with proper coordination. Definitely the most functional form of working out and lots of endorphins to enjoy at the end of the workout.

Fantastic experience: The CF Lions coaches and community are amazing! Great programming and super friendly environment. Chris does a great job making you feel right at home. I really love that they don't keep score to keep it fun rather than ultra competitive as I have experienced at other gyms. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Can’t say enough good things about Crossfit Lions. I just started here a few months ago and it already feels like home. Both locations have amazing coaches that are knowledgeable and supportive. Everyone is super friendly and welcoming. I am very happy and lucky to be a part of this amazing community!!

Fantastic experience: Crossfit lions is an fantastic gym that really feels like your extended urban workout family. The instructors are patient knowledgeable and really guide you to be the best you can be in both a relaxed and driven atmosphere. It’s a great place to come and get in shape and meet amazing people. Highly recommended gym for both serious CrossFitters and newbies. Try out their 1 week free trial

Fantastic experience: I came to the gym in order to rehab a lot of injuries. The coaching staff have all been great and have allowed me to work at the pace I need to rather than forcing me to do Rx workouts and injure myself further (something I experienced dropping in at some other Crossfit gyms). Chris is awesome and I can totally recommend the gym.

Fantastic experience: Great coaches with loads of experience and encouragement! The other members are so supportive and encouraging also! I’ve just started my Crossfit journey and always look forward to the next workout!

Fantastic experience: Coming to work out here feels like going home. Chris the owner makes you feel welcome, he's super knowledgeable and takes the time to ensure the work out works best for you and your body, and the whole crew working out is awesome it's full like minded people that feels like an extended family. Love it!

Fantastic experience: Great gym, great people, and great place to work out! I highly recommend this place. Like a second family :)

Fantastic experience: The coaches here rock! Whether your an open competitor or a new blood looking to get fit, this is the place for you.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym! Great coaches! Amazing community vibe! I started at Crossfit Lions 7 months ago when my old gym closed down and am so glad I did - my technique has improved, my strength is up, and I can't wait for the next workout. Everyone is there to work hard and support one another - there is a great family feel to this gym. Can't say enough :)

Fantastic experience: Awesome vibe at this gym. Chris was one of the first CrossFit gyms in the business and his experience can been easily seen. Great guy. Great gym. Highly recommend especially if you are looking to be treated like family.

Fantastic experience: Love this place and its members. When I approached Chris with an interest in coaching he was extremely supportive and happy to help me begin my journey, allowing me to shadow him and eventually start coaching some of the regular classes, I'm very grateful for the opportunity. I would highly recommend Crossfit Lions to anyone looking to try something new or just dropping in while visiting North Vancouver.

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere with awesome people and knowledgeable coaches. I started coming here when I was quite unfit and, although I still have a way to go until I reach all my fitness goals, I'm in 10x better shape than I was when I started about a year ago. Chris has been super helpful getting me to where I am a lot faster than I otherwise would be, and all the coaches are friendly and great at helping with technique and altering exercises for injuries. I thought that Crossfit would be a bit intimidating but everyone there is friendly and super supportive, really couldn't recommend this place enough!

Fantastic experience: Love Crossfit Lions! Been a member for 7 + years and never looked back. Strong sense of community at this gym and you are always welcome whether it's a drop in, general fitness athlete or serious athlete!

Fantastic experience: Great gym, great trainers, highly recommend it!

Fantastic experience: Great community and instruction, enjoyed a vacation drop in! Thanks Chris!

Fantastic experience: Friendly and Helpful staff that take a real interest in making you the best version of yourself. Great Gym!

Negative experience: I went there while on vacation so I would not get behind in my programming. The girl running the class would not let me follow my own program and said that I had to do what everyone else was doing because they follow her lousy program for 4 weeks and then max out. She said that if I did something different it wouldn't be fair to the others that follow the "program" so instead I had to break from my program and power snatch for an entire hour. That was unfair to me. If that was the only thing she did wrong I would have given a two star review. But her inadequacies as a trainer extend further. She never once complemented my technique. She complimented everyone else but me. Now I've been lifting for 6 years and don't need a compliment but a good coach will do that in order to instill confidence. The only thing she said is that I should pull more upright like the Chinese. Meanwhile others were making mistakes that should be corrected early on while they're still novice but she just complimented them and let them carry on with improper technique. What really perplexed me is that she said she used to compete in Australia but when I asked her what her best lifts were she really had to think about it. Any real weigtlifter can ramble off their PRs in a split second, they don't need to think about it. Overall it seemed to me like she was just too proud. She's used to being in charge of people and didn't know how to handle someone clearly being more experienced in a particular sport.

Fantastic experience: Sehr geiles Event :-))

Fantastic experience: This place is by far one of the best places I have ever been to. Great people and instructors. As much or as little help as you need. Could not have asked for a better environment.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Crossfit Lions for over 4 years and I love the atmosphere, the programming, the general vide of the place. The owner (Chris) has a great attitude and a coaching style thats makes you want to bring your A game. I know that some people think CrossFit is intimidating .... those people haven't spent time at Crossfit Lions.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely the best - best coaching - best members - best place to get the day going! Been a member for about five years and really glad a friend twisted my arm to try it - never looked back!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Crossfit Lions for 4 months now and love it! This is more than a gym it is a family. Very knowledgeable coaches and super supportive teammates. I was very nervous to try out a Crossfit gym at first but they make it such a great experience each time.
