Kin Culture

Fantastic experience: Alexis gives the girl power!

Fantastic experience: Love being part of the Kin family! I’d have experiences at a range of classes both personal and group sessions with all different, and very knowledgeable instructors. There’s never an ego at Kin, everyone seems to feel welcome and I’ve always left with a smile on my face. The place is always exceptionally clean, I’m always amazed that they keep an entirely black room so shiny! I’ve been driving a black car for years and I can’t keep it from looking a mess for more than a day!

Fantastic experience: Great classes, trainers and members! Highly recommend. The trainers are very knowledgeable. I only have one comment when it comes to the cleanliness. Which is, I wish they would clean the floors and equipment daily at a min but ideally between classes and prohibit bare feet. There is a risk of the spread of warts, toe fungus, viruses etc. There is quick dry disinfectant and swifers, I am not sure why this isn’t being done.

Fantastic experience: First time trying Hyrox and it was awesome. Great group of people and Richard was awesome leading the group through it.

Fantastic experience: KIN is hands down the best place for anyone looking to get fit while being part of an incredible community! Each class is thoughtfully planned, with proper warm-ups to prevent injury and challenging workouts that push you just the right amount. You leave feeling tired but great, not sore or wrecked for days. Plus, the sense of community is amazing; everyone is so supportive, and you really feel like you're part of something special here. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: A great studio and a great team. HYROX classes are killer, deffo recommend them. Rich is the ideal coach to guide you through!

Fantastic experience: Amazing. Gabby has such a warm and familial persona. I came to Kin for the first time because she was on the schedule! She easily encourages camaraderie and banter between clients. It was fun but still challenging. Loved class and will be back.

Fantastic experience: Rich, Sean and the wider Kin Team have done a phenomenal job of fostering a welcoming environment for everyone regardless of their fitness level or experience. Classes are small which creates an open and encouraging environment so that you are truly in a community working out together & having fun. I have been going to Kin for months now and can easily say that I look forward to every class!

Fantastic experience: Amazing classes, love training here :)

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to this gym for over a year now and cannot say one bad thing about it. I trust all the trainers who are all so knowledgeable. I’ve been able to continue attending classes even through injuries as they are amazing with adjusting exercises for you so you can continue to move in a safe but effective way. Bonus they have created such a welcoming community/family at this gym and always feel comfortable here. Highly recommend! Thank you for such an amazing gym

Fantastic experience: I came here for an intro class and ended up getting a class pack after. So far, I've done 3 hyrox classes and a strength class. Both the owners Sean and Rich are extremely friendly and knowledgeable. They've really built a welcoming environment and community feel here and the gym is very aesthetically pleasing. All the trainers and people here are very encouraging and it really has a great atmosphere. Would highly recommend Kin Culture.

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough good things about Kin Culture. The whole team is super knowledgeable and passionate about health and fitness, you can tell they love being there. The space is well designed with everything you need. They take the time to get to know you and they genuinely care about creating community. What a delight. I'm so happy I found this place and these people :)

Fantastic experience: Kin is an absolutely superb gym. It’s beautifully designed and well equipped, and the classes are a perfect blend of mobility and challenge. Above all, all the trainers are so welcoming and encouraging, making it somewhere you really look forward to going to.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to Kin for about 3 months now and I’m officially obsessed. The workouts are great, I love the variety, I definitely feel stronger. But the people are just the BEST, both the instructors and the other gym goers. I’ve met amazing new friends. Lots of gyms say that they are a community but Kin truly is!

Fantastic experience: I had a couple classes and I am so out of shape. The coach was super helpful adjusting my workouts to where there is possibility and hope. I felt like I belonged in the class and I am super thankful for that. Alexis is very attentive and helpful. I would recommend this place to wherever you are in your wellness and fitness journey. People do care. You

Fantastic experience: Everything about Kin Culture is great. The welcoming community, clean and well designed space, and most of all the amazing programming and execution of each class. The owners/teachers are all amazing, and there is a class for everyone. My physical therapist recommended Kin Culture, and it's been the best discovery !

Fantastic experience: The team at KIN Culture are great - I always feel super welcome in the space. The instructors really emphasize moving well, while keeping things engaging.

Positive experience: Great training session and facilities. Staff are all very nice and professional. However we were lying directly on the ground, we didn’t see any cleaning/disinfecting happening immediately before/after our session of the floor and materials so that made me and my friend a bit uncomfortable. Also you can only train wearing socks, which can be quite slippery, and maybe not the best for everyone.

Fantastic experience: First class with Sean doing Strength. Not only was the class inviting, welcoming and simple to follow. It allowed me to train at a great intensity. I'll be for sure coming more often and recommend this highly to anyone looking to get stronger, learn to move their body & make friends.

Fantastic experience: Favourite spot for group strength training in the city. Amazing team, space, and equipment. 12/10 for everything they offer!

Fantastic experience: Rich and Sean and the team have created a gem. They are the most welcoming and talented crew for those of all ages and fitness abilities. The instruction is great, you can tell they really care and are keeping an eye on form or adapting the exercises for clients with existing injuries. The focus is on functional movement and challenging your limits vs. calories or weight management. The team has attracted an awesome community that are so welcoming and fun. I will continue to rave about KIN Culture to friends!

Fantastic experience: I’ve tried so many gyms in the past year and Kin Culture is the best! Rich and Sean are super friendly, knowledgeable and supportive. The combination of endure, strong and conditioning makes me so much stronger and in less pain. Cannot recommend enough!

Fantastic experience: The trainers, the facilities and the community are 10/10. Great balance of strength + mobility + conditioning across the group classes. I also do personal training with Nathan who is recommend to anyone looking for personal training. I appreciate that he has tailored our program to support movement/strength specific to my lifestyle/activities. My body has felt great since regularly coming to Kin Culture.

Fantastic experience: Awesome 1st class here! Richard was amazing and did a great job explaining each movement, encouraging us along the way and making everyone feel very welcome. The moves we did were effective and my muscles are already feeling it (in the best way). Music was a vibe, people in the class were friendly...basically I'm already obsessed. Thanks for the class KIN fam!

Fantastic experience: It has all the benefits of individualized training but in a small group of supportive people. The workouts challenge you but the support of the trainers who really know what they are doing make this place worth my travel from North Van!!!

Fantastic experience: I feel so lucky to have found Kin Culture since moving to Vancouver. They’re the most friendly & welcoming team, bringing the funnest & most challenging workouts. Kin Culture is by far the best gym class/gym I’ve come across & I couldn’t recommend them enough.

Fantastic experience: Always leave kin feeling great. The classes are well structured, equally challenging/fun and the small group makes it feel like personal training. The community is super supportive and all of the coaches are clear, encouraging and helpful! One of my favourite places to workout in Vancouver.

Fantastic experience: KIN is an exceptional community and welcoming environment. I would highly recommend attending and checking it out. Sean and Rich will make you feel welcome and want to meet you goals.

Fantastic experience: I have tried several fitness classes over my life and always default back to working out independently because I typically find that classes are non-functional and trainers don't have the anatomy, physiology, and training variable knowledge that's needed to put together programs that are effective and safe. Very much not the case with Kin Culture! The trainers are very knowledgeable, fun, and push me in a way that I don't always push myself. Also, the culture is warm and welcoming and facilities are really nice! I very strongly recommend Kin Culture for folks of any fitness level.

Fantastic experience: This is a great gym on West 4th. Challenging class and the staff are incredibly helpful/ approachable. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Nathan for the past two months and my experience has been absolutely amazing. After dealing with some injuries, Nathan has given me the confidence and knowledge to regain my strength. I already feel so much stronger and my overall mobility has improved. I would recommend anyone to get trained by Nathan!

Fantastic experience: So happy I found this place! Here's a quick story you may relate to: As a 30s-something amateur athlete who works from home at a desk all day, my recovery after each workout (soccer, running, weightlifting) became more and more difficult. I had gone to gyms and classes here and there but never connected with the culture (overly crowded and filled with testosterone) or the workouts (self-guided or 100KM/Hour with no warmup). Home workouts weren't cutting it, either. After weekly physio and massage appointments to address back pain, muscle pulls, and poor range of motion, I came across KIN Culture on Instagram promoting mobility, muscle activation, and form - everything my previous workouts, and body, were missing. After a couple group classes and personal training sessions (take advantage of their promos!), I was all in. Small classes, everyone (both trainers/owners and members) is super friendly, workouts are dynamic and look to move you in new ways. Personal training sessions put you on a path that you can work on at the gym and on your own time. I'm now attending 2-3 classes per week, one strength, one conditioning, one dynamic movement and am 100% seeing an improvement in how my "old" body moves. Join this amazing gym and community - your body will thank you!

Fantastic experience: If you’re so deep into it that you’re reading the google reviews, sign up for your first class now. Best gym with the best coaches in the city. Sexy interior too

Fantastic experience: Great facility! Rich was an amazing instructor. Beautiful facility in the heart of Kits

Fantastic experience: The “Kin Culture” environment is encouraging, supportive, and positive, not to mention great results! Such a pleasure to participate in a workout with knowledgable staff who are inclusive, and supportive to each participant. So glad I gave this a try. So glad I returned!

Fantastic experience: Visiting Vancouver and dropped into the space by chance. Beautifully design intimate space! Gaby was an outstanding couch, super thorough and knowledgeable. Kept me in formWould highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: One of the best group fitness classes/ boutique gyms I've visited. The trainers are hands-on and involved heavily in each class, the environment is friendly, encouraging and you leave each session feeling like you got more than you paid for. Love that these guys stagger classes with ample time in-between so you can come early and warmup but also stay a little longer and properly stretch/cool down.

Fantastic experience: Kin Culture has been my best experience with group classes yet! The programming includes stability, mobility, muscle activation which I think has helped me prevent injury and improve recovery. I’ve been able to work out consistently despite a ski injury because the coaches have provided modifications and regularly check in throughout. Beyond that, the team at Kin Culture fosters a warm and supportive community - it’s been a big part of my routine and settling into a new city.

Fantastic experience: Great gym culture. Space is extremely clean and professional. Golf simulator is very accurate, it improved my golf game a lot. Richard improved my running technique and speed, great coaching.

Fantastic experience: Went to check out the free intro class in Oct and then immediately booked a 24 class pack and have been going weekly ever since. The small group classes allow the trainers to have greater focus on the needs of each participant. The trainers are all very knowledgeable, the space is well-equipped and the community they’ve built is very welcoming. Would recommend to anyone, regardless of fitness goals

Fantastic experience: KinCulture is one of the best gyms I’ve ever trained at. Rich and Sean have put such care and energy into the studio, the programming and looking after everyone that walks through the door. They’ve built such a fab space, filled with an even better community.

Fantastic experience: Best gym ever!!!

Fantastic experience: Kin Culture is totally amazing. Sean and the rest if the team are so amazing. I just started last week and it's very encouraging and enjoying.

Fantastic experience: Attended the Strong class at Kin Culture. It's a beautiful space with top-notch equipment and friendly, knowledgeable instructors. Classes are kept small to ensure clients get a high degree of attention from the instructors, and there's a significant focus on warm-up and form to prevent injuries. It's awesome to have such a great new gym in the neighborhood, I will absolutely be returning!

Fantastic experience: A wonderful small private gym which has a lot to offer. Friendly welcoming staff from receptionist to PT trainers. Would highly recommend especially if you value the privacy, attention to detail, and high class service.

Fantastic experience: Best training ever! Richard, Sean and their crew are exceptionally knowledgeable and supportive. They have created an environment that makes you want to return, even if working out is not your passion I can't recommend it enough!

Fantastic experience: Their Strong class is the closest I’ve come to personal training in a group setting. Class sizes are small and Rich is great at spot checking everyone’s technique. Decent tunes and inclusive member community - 10/10 recommend!

Fantastic experience: What a workout! Absolutely stunning gym with top-of-the-line equipment, excellent staff & instructors and great facilities. I particularly liked the emphasis on gradually warming up before the heavier lifts.

Fantastic experience: 10/10 workout! One of the very few workouts in Vancouver with knowledgeable staff who take the time to consciously curate a workout, and properly warm you up for the workout you're about to do. All while catering to a variety of skill levels for those within the workout. the space is so beautiful and the staff are very welcoming. I highly recommend :)

Fantastic experience: The golf simulator and specifically the "Gears" system is absolutely state of the art. The instruction from Matt is top notch to begin with; having the data and visual feedback from the technology makes the process of understanding body position a lost easier to achieve. Any golfer of any level will benefit from these lessons, and the vibe fantastic in the whole place.

Fantastic experience: I’ve had a few lessons with Matthew in the golf simulator and am really enjoying the process. Brand new bay with “Gears” integration which has been hugely beneficial for review and tracking progress. At the end of the day, an awesome location with one of BC’s best instructors working with the latest in equipment. Thanks Kin Culture Golf, can’t wait to get back in for my next lesson.

Fantastic experience: I've been working on my golf swing with Matt for 3-4 months now. Matt demonstrates great patience, while at the same time layering on exceptional instruction and encouragement. The use of the technology/swing avatar to study my swing has been fun and extremely useful - super happy with the results. Great set up at the gym and the entire Kin Culture team have been very welcoming. Highly recommend getting in touch with them and giving it a go!

Fantastic experience: 10/10 experience. High quality movement and trainers!

Fantastic experience: Very excited with the new gym, the look, the equipment, the location, the classes, the staff, are all top notch. You can tell a lot of thought went into this build. As I am older (50's) male and i personally have some underlying health issues, Sean and the crew have tailored a fitness plan specifically for me to help with mobility/balance issues. This plus the knowledge they share with me concerning balanced diet etc. has improved my way of life drastically. Keep up the good work . I highly recommend people check it out worth every cent!

Fantastic experience: Amazing new gym with incredible trainers. My go-to for a fun and challenging class. I highly recommend a visit to Kin Culture

Fantastic experience: The best gym around. Sean & Richard are by far the nicest and most knowledgeable trainers in the business today. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kin Culture to anyone. I have been blown away by my experience at Kin Culture, between Saturday morning run clubs, personal training sessions and group classes, there is something for everyone!

Fantastic experience: Amazing workout, friendly trainers - always pushed to achieve your goals and have a laugh along the way!

Fantastic experience: Best gym & trainers in Vancouver! Learning loads from the classes and they’re always so much fun!

Fantastic experience: Best trainers in the city and always a fun experience! Great workout as well

Fantastic experience: Top notch facility, top notch trainers! lots of necessary mobility work to prep the body for work that you don't find at a lot of group fitness studios. Train for longevity!!

Fantastic experience: Had a chance to get in some golf lessons with Matt and also met Sean who is one of the owners. Great group of guys and the gym is top notch. Would highly recommend you check them out!

Fantastic experience: Beautiful new gym in kits! Love their core values and approach to fitness. Enjoyed the great warmup filled with mobility and functional movements. I tried the strong class with Megan and enjoyed the small class filled with kettle bell squats and other movements targeting the lats.

Fantastic experience: Amazing new addition to the Kits neighbourhood and fitness industry. Their studio is stunning and the trainers are so welcoming and knowledgeable. Best workout in the city!

Fantastic experience: We recently attended a pre race prep workshop with Kin Culture and were impressed by Rich's and Sean's attention to detail and the knowledge. They guided us through stretches/exercises to help prevent injury during training and to prep us for race day this Sunday. Highly recommend checking out their gym as the owners are very supportive and patient. It's amazing to see that they are working on building a fitness community and bringing people together!

Fantastic experience: An amazing concept for small group fitness classes (personal training, done together), delivered in a beautiful, perfectly equipped, and elegant new space in Kits - Kin Culture is an incredible addition to the Vancouver fitness space. Rich and Sean (Kin Culture's founders) are amazing and supportive instructors and, for anyone interested in 1-on-1 personal training, you would be hard pressed to find two better trainers in the city. Kin Culture is, without a doubt, the gym and fitness experience I have been looking for.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful new kits gym with attentive and supportive trainers. Programs are thoughtful and they guide you to use the correct form while getting the most out of each exercise. Nothing is super rushed or intimidating, and the classes are small enough so you don’t feel crammed in. Everything is scalable too; you can make it as hard as you feel is good for your body. Would recommend this to anyone looking to join a friendly and approachable fitness community!

Fantastic experience: Richard, Sean and the crew are by far the most knowledgable and attentive professional trainers I’ve ever experienced! And the new gym is elegantly sleek (plus immaculately clean).
