Fantastic experience: I recently joined Athletes Arena, and my experience has been great. From the moment I walked through the door, I was greeted by a warm and welcoming atmosphere, both from the friendly staff and the supportive students. The staff at Athletes Arena are not only highly skilled in their craft but also genuinely passionate about sharing their knowledge. They create a positive learning environment that caters to all skill levels. My son also attends their kids class and it’s been great seeing his confidence grow. He’s even been eating more vegetables so he can “get stronger for JuJitsu” .

Fantastic experience: So glad I found this place, high quality jujitsu training environment, with a great schedule and pricing.

Fantastic experience: I love it when I just show up for group training and get out with a great workout. It doesn't become another "task" for the day but rather fun and easy to assimilate in my daily routine. Shoutout to Mark and Jen for keeping it fun, playful and interesting all the time to keep coming back for more. Love the energy and vibe.

Fantastic experience: I left Athlete’s Arena during covid. Tried working out at home and went to a another cross fit gym for a few months. I honestly never felt better physically than when I was going to Mark and Jens gym…that’s why I’m back and feeling better already.

Fantastic experience: This is absolutely 100% the best gym in town!! It is a family run business and both Mark and Jen are very patient with every member no matter where they are in their fitness journey! Thanks to them I have completely changed the way I live my life! The Jiu Jitsu program is absolutely amazing and is a must try for everyone men, women and kids, I highly highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: Best gym hands down! Family run business and treat everyone like family! Mark and Jen are very much involved in all of their clients success…this gym has definitely changed my life for the better!

Fantastic experience: Jen and Mark from Athletes Arena are two of the best fitness, health and wellness advisors. As a family run business Athletes feels warm and welcoming while still challenging you to be your best. If you’re looking for a place where you think you might benefit from a supportive environment full of encouragement and some pretty awesome workouts you have to try this place!

Fantastic experience: This is NOT your big box fitness centre! You don’t get roped into a contract and pay your money every month and hope that you stay motivated to use the membership like the big box places. The owners/trainers post a challenging workout of the day for people to come and do at various times throughout the day. All fitness levels are accommodated and there are always modifications to suit an injury etc. The workouts are safe and monitored so no crazy dangerous moves here! The best part is that people are friendly. Acquaintances are made and it’s when someone says “Hey, see you tomorrow” I know I’ll be back tomorrow! I’ve been a member for a few nearest now and highly highly recommend Athletes Arena!

Fantastic experience: Love this gym and the family/friends atmosphere! Jen & Mark are supportive and have helped me achieve goals I didn’t even know possible! Definitely appreciate them and everything they do for their membership ❤️.

Fantastic experience: I've trained jiu jitsu here for a number of years now. Mark is an incredible coach. There is a great group of people to train with. Lots of scheduled classes and always people looking to get together at unscheduled times. I have made incredible progress since joining this gym and couldn't be happier with the team.

Fantastic experience: Love this gym, owners Jen and Mark are fantastic they will customize any workout. Members of all ages and abilities train and support each other. My posture and fitness has improved so much.

Fantastic experience: Athletes Arena is family-run gym with an amazing atmosphere and phenomenal training programs for people of all fitness levels. This is the first club I’ve started learning jiu jitsu and I’m fortunate to be surrounded by some of the most supportive, positive and hardest working people I’ve ever met - that want for nothing more than your success. I highly recommend this club!

Fantastic experience: Want to give a huge shout out to Mark and Jen. Very knowledgeable in nutrition, fitness and injury recovery. The gym has a wide range of ages and all are welcomed and encouraged to challenge themselves to improve. Great gym, great people!!!

Fantastic experience: A terrific place to train whether your aim is competitive Jiu Jitsu, athletic development or just general fitness. It’s a tight-knit, welcoming group, and Jen and Mark are extremely supportive whatever your fitness goals may be

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym and I'm so thankful to have found them as they've literally changed my life! Both Mark and Jen (owners/coaches) are super knowledgeable about cross training, fitness and nutrition and I've gained tons of knowledge from them, and of course, I'm way more fit than when I first started. Our entire family goes to the gym including my wife, my two kids (they train Jiu Jitsu) and my 83-year old mom who attends the senior classes. I attend the cross training sessions, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes (which I'm thoroughly hooked on) and most recently, their Thursday kick-boxing classes. If you're looking for a gym in the Maple Ridge area and you're ready to make some positive life changes and ready to meet some awesome friends, Athlete's is the place to be! I wish I could give it more than 5-stars!

Mark and Jen are so knowledgeable and encouraging with their workouts and make sure you get the best coaching every time you show up, whether you’re new to the gym or have been going there for years. They customize workouts when you have an injury or other concerns and always put your health #1. I’ve been to many gyms and have had several personal trainers, none of which have come close to getting me in as good a shape as I’ve been since joining Athletes Arena!

Fantastic experience: 5 stars

Fantastic experience: I'm 39, male. This gym has no contracts, initiation fees, or mandatory uniforms. After visiting three other gyms in Maple Ridge I can say Athlete’s Arena is the best BJJ and cross fit gym for men, women, kids, and seniors. This gym includes customized programs for each individual, checking in on your progress, and optional meal planning. All you have to do is show up. As for BJJ, I started three months ago and I have yet to come across a single negative scenario. Everyone treats me like their own student, patiently showing me tips and tricks on how to train. I am absolutely hooked on this sport for the sole reason that I feel so welcomed every time I train.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful family owned business that is such an asset to our community with how they give back and treats each of their patrons like family. Also, super friendly, inviting and not intimidating at all like some gyms can be.

Fantastic experience: I attended a seminar here. Friendly environment. Easy to find. Adequate parking.

Fantastic experience: Athletes Arena Maple Ridge changed my family's life for the better.
