Loaded Athletics

Fantastic experience: The best gym!

Fantastic experience: I booked a private coaching session with Gabe to work on my squat. For years, I was discouraged at the gym because I couldn't make any progress with my squat, and as a last resort, I decide to seek some professional help to see if it could be fixed. During my two sessions Gabe had me working on warming up properly, and he had me perform exercises to fix my stability issues/imbalances among other things. At the end of my second session, Gabe had me squatting more than I ever had in my life. I'm now at a point where I look forward to my upcoming gym sessions so I can continue to squat more; something I used to dread in the past. I Highly recommend Loaded Athletics if you are serious about learning how to lift properly and efficiently. Working with the trainers here is an investment that is well worth it. You will not regret it!

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym. Amazing staff.

Fantastic experience: If you already know or have a hunch that weight lifting might be for you, Loaded Athletics is definitely worth checking out. I had been looking for a gym where I could focus on weight training while improving overall health and wellness. I booked a group session online using thier easy to use system and let's just say, I've found both what I was looking for and more. The simplicity, excellence, and focus of this gym make it easy to show up and lift heavy things while taking care of my body, all while connecting with great coaches and others on their own journeys.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant working with Gabe! Thoughtful, practical and approachable- he took the time to sound out my needs and create an appropriate plan that will help me with my fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: After hurting my back going it alone at the gym I reached out to Loaded Athletics to learn proper lifting form. I have been working with Gabe and find he is an incredible resource to learn about lifting and how the body works. The way Gabe explains things to me makes so much sense. He is an amazing coach. The other coaches at the gym are always very friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend this gym to everyone!

Fantastic experience: I couldn't recommend working with the coaches at Loaded Athletics more!! They are all very personable and incredibly knowledgable. Going to a gym, especially during COVID, can be intimidating and scary - not only if you don't know what you're doing, but also from a cleanliness perspective. I've seen phenomenal improvements in my strength during my short time with Jeremy and always felt safe and comfortable. If you're looking to get stronger and move better, you should definitely come here!

Fantastic experience: There simply is no better place to learn to lift and be coached. Here you will find the highest caliber coaching in a clean abs safe environment.

Fantastic experience: I posted this review a while back, and my love for this little place has only grown. If you're ready to learn more about body mechanics, get stronger, and find amazing people to do it with, go to Loaded. Omg where do I even begin!? This place is a total gem. Gus is a true delight. I look forward to learning from and connecting with him every time. I'm not new to sports, but I learn so much from him every time. Sessions at Loaded (and classes, during non-pandemic times) are always bright moments in my week.

Fantastic experience: Intimidated by the barbell due to "squat rack hooligans" at other gyms, I decided to visit Loaded Athletics 2 years ago and they gave me the most welcoming and non-intimidating introduction to the barbell and foundational movements like squats, deadlifts etc. Their class formats and customized individual programming improved my mobility and strength so much that just this year, I entered my first olympic lifting competition! A special thanks to the incredible coaches at Loaded Athletics for helping me achieve a level of confidence and fitness I never thought would be achievable, especially in my 40s!

Fantastic experience: I always see these folks at Weightlifting Competitions and they impress the heck out of me. The athletes are dedicated and hardworking, and Jeremy supports them with an enthusiasm you just don't see that often. I mean, this guy cares so much about each and every athlete and absolutely cannot contain his excitement for their successes...not just the elite athletes: all of them. If I lived in Vancouver, this would be my club without a doubt. I am sure that whatever your sport or goals, Loaded Athletics will get you there and support you emotionally along the way with personalized programming and support. Way to go guys.. absolutely premier league company.

Fantastic experience: Honestly, I have nothing but great things to say about Jeremy and Loaded Athletics. He has all off the knowledge and skills to teach safe and effective form in weightlifting and training while also fostering an inclusive and welcoming environment for all of his athletes. There’s no elitism, just a welcoming environment to learn how YOU can get strong. And any trainer he has on his team is just as good. They’ll always meet you where you’re at - be you an elite competitive weight lifter or a newbie to the exercise world.

Fantastic experience: Regular praises aren’t enough to describe Jeremy's knowledge and skill as a Strength Coach. I will share with readers my own experience and they can judge for themselves: For the last 2 years, I couldn't lift anything super heavy because of recurring lower back injury. Every time I did squat or deadlift, I tried to keep it on the light side to avoid hurting my lower back again. Naturally, it was very frustrating. I came to see Jeremy to ask him to help with my squat and deadlift. Jeremy looked at my movements and made some adjustments with regard to my body type and techniques. The result? I was able to deadlift 140kg for the first time in 2 years. I squatted 120kg in our first session. This shocked me as I was so surprised with what I can do with correct techniques and how to use my body to my advantage. Everyone is built differently, what is correct for someone on YouTube doesn't mean it will work for you. Jeremy helps me understand that. If you are looking for a trainer who can make you faster, stronger and be a better version of yourself, Jeremy is that trainer.

Fantastic experience: I visited Jeremy at Loaded Athletics for a session to polish up my lifting form. He quickly saw where I could improve and gave me some great pointers. I look forward to seeing see if the classes they offer in the future

Fantastic experience: Loaded Athletics has been the best fitness decision I made in the last few years. My body has changed, I have strength I never knew was there and excited to see what continues to evolve. The coaches at Loaded are professional, knowledgeable, inclusive and supportive. Definitely recommend!!

Fantastic experience: Love working out here. Positive, inclusive and encouraging. Seeing the beat results of my adult life with Jeremy, Tara and crew.

Fantastic experience: Jeremy combines his knowledge and experience in strength and conditioning in a unique way to provide each client with a foundation to excel. If you are new to the gym his classes are a great way to build a solid foundation. If you are an experienced lifter/athlete he can take beyond what you thought possible. I have been lucky to be one of his first clients as a weightlifter and have had the opportunity to lift provincially, nationally and internationally with the help of Jeremy’s expert coaching. I look forward to many more years of exceeding my goals with Loaded Athletics.

Fantastic experience: If you're looking for somewhere to improve your lifts and get a good sweat on, this is the place. Jeremy is a fantastic coach, the facilities and equipment are top notch, and there is always a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. No better place to work out in the city.

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Jeremy for almost 2 year now and have nothing but good things to say about him and Loaded Athletics. He is one of the most knowledgeable and professional coaches I have come across and am very pleased with the progress I have made working with him. He and Tara run a very professional top-notch gym and I am honoured to be a client of theirs.

Fantastic experience: Jeremy has changed my life. He is an amazing coach and he helped me find a true passion for weightlifting. I was coming back from ACL/meniscus surgery and was quite weak, not to mention the muscle imbalances. He took me on as a client and he has worked with me weekly for the past 6 months. I am so much stronger physically and mentally and I wouldn’t be here without him. I highly recommend Loaded Athletics for anyone who is new to Olympic lifting or serious about competing. Don’t even think about it, just join!
