Citizen

Expérience positive: I went to this gym for four years and absolutely loved the programming. It is very challenging for all levels but also beginner friendly and focuses on building a strong foundation. After 4 years, I went from thinking I would never be able to do a single pull up to being able to do 6+ and made massive gains in all my lifts! I stopped going to this gym because they suddenly raised their monthly unlimited rate $40/month. I could understand adjusting it 10% or so for inflation but this was nearly 20% which seems insane to me, especially since no other CrossFit gyms in the city charge anywhere near this much. I moved 3 times in the four years I went here, always making sure to be close enough to this gym so I could keep going there and supported them throughout the entire pandemic. It is extremely disappointing that the same loyalty was not shown back to me, even for a gym that loves to talk about their "community" when clearly they do not care about their members at all. It is appalling to think now that they were asking for everyone's support during the pandemic to keep paying when at times they were not open or could not provide proper coaching for months on end to "support their small business" but now when costs are rising everywhere for their members, they would be this greedy and unwilling to negotiate. This definitely left a bad taste in mouth and ruined what was otherwise a great experience for many years. If you are new to CrossFit this could be an option for you, but do your research, you can definitely find more value at other gyms for lower costs.

Expérience négative: I have chosen not to sign up for several reasons: 1) the facilities and the exercise equipment has clearly not been cleaned for a significant period of time. At two points during my trial workout on May 23 two large dust bunnies got in my eye and in my mouth while doing ring work and the rower and bike machines were caked with dust 2) I felt as though asking questions about what the workout entailed to coach Mike Baptista was a nuisance to him. I asked how to adjust the straps of rings that were hanging in my station and he said "why don't you want to share rings with another classmate" like I was being unreasonable for asking how to adjust the straps (which took less than a second for him to demonstrate how to adjust them). Plus I was told during my intro that each classmate had their own station to use. 3) the lack of feedback on form and lack of encouragement during the workout from the coach was a big turnoff. It left the impression that the coach did not gaf 4) the fact that your gym does not put an emphasis on showing proper form to people trying your gym out for the very first time tells me you dont really care about members safety or wellbeing With all of the above in mind, I don't understand how you can justify charging Members $200 to 280 per month for your services within a filthy gym. Give your head a shake.

Expérience fantastique: In my 20+ years of working out in gyms across the world, Citizen takes the biscuit. Firstly, I never thought I would enjoy a workout class. I was a straight up skeptic, having always been a solo weight-slinger. I was wrong! The workouts are varied, challenging and intentional. The cognitive burden of working out has evaporated. All I have to do is show up. After 6 months, I've seen a huge transformation and feel stronger than ever. That's saying something as I've played sports at a high level for years. The attention to legs, mid-section and core have paid dividends. What makes this gym really special, is the kindness of all the coaches, starting with EJ and Erin. It is contagious and has fostered a really supportive and friendly community. If that's not your thing, you can totally put your head down and workout though. See you in class!

Expérience fantastique: The coaching and programming at this gym is the best I've ever had in over 7 years of doing functional fitness!!

Expérience fantastique: Love coming here. Love getting stronger. Love the programming. Love the community. And the free cookies, that helps too.

Expérience fantastique: THE BEST GYM. The only reason I’m not still there is because of life circumstances. The most supportive team, Erin and EJ are two of the most kindest, genuine and knowledgeable people. My form and progress has drastically improved. I cannot say enough good things about them and the people who also attend their gym! The only downside is not having a class pack as an option, if this ever changes I’ll be back!

Expérience fantastique: Really enjoyed my time working out here. Very positive environment - but not in an annoying way. Coaches were knowledgeable and approachable. It was fun learning some of the more complex movements like snatches. If I ever move back to Kits I would rejoin in a heartbeat. No issues cancelling my membership when I moved away. Two thumbs up.

Expérience négative: I signed up for a no-sweat session, went to an intro class the same evening. I loved the class and the trainer. I mentioned I travel for work a lot and asked what the policy about pausing the membership would be like while I am gone. It the main coach told me this is not a problem. I was read to sign up for a 6month membership. Emailed, called twice and never heard back.... Quite unprofessionally in my opinion, so I went for another CrossFit gym There are plenty in the area.

Expérience négative: This place is my worst nightmare. I contacted them a couple of times but they did nothing about soundproofing their studio. We live next door and whenever they drop a weight on the floor, our building shakes relentlessly. I can’t tell you how annoying it is to wake up every other day at 6:30 am to your house shaking like crazy because of some weightlifters. This is literally giving me earthquake trauma. I’m currently writing this at 6:30 pm and it’s been happening again and again for the last 15 minutes. Please soundproof your space. This is very reckless and I honestly don’t understand how you don’t have the courtesy to fix this issue after your neighbors contacted you about this a hundred times.

Expérience fantastique: Great people here, helpful, explain everything in details, they don’t get tired to help with movements technics. Gym has equipped with necessary equipment, implemented COVID protocol where is each student have own space and equipment for a class.

Expérience négative: As a previous elite athlete, I was so happy to find this gym. The people are amazing and the programs are well thought-out. What caught me off guard was the lack of professionalism when needing to cancel the membership. After a class at the end of the month, I expressed the need to pause the membership with one of the owners. He told me to send an email any time, which I did the following week (the start of the next month). After noticing a full month's fee ($240) was charged to my account, I notified the owners via email again afterwards, understanding that mistakes happen. They replied saying a written request prior to the charge date was needed to avoid charges. While I understand this rule, it was not specifically mentioned when I had notified them in person. In addition, I had been able to receive a refund earlier in the year without sending a written request. It didn't add up. Over the next month, I attempted to call and email, being unable to communicate in person while relocating. No communication has been recieved in 3 weeks and I have yet to receive a refund. No matter how one values $240, it was unfortunately a negative ending to a very fun place to workout.

Expérience fantastique: Great CrossFit location with friendly, welcoming and professional staff and trainers that suit every level of athlete from beginner to competition lifters. Well sized work out spaces and a variety of training classes available at all times of day to fit almost anyone’s work / life schedule. Great sense of community with its members and other local businesses, and occasional fun in-house competitions and events to challenge every level of athlete. Also very dog friendly !

Expérience fantastique: Great gym with solid coaching! Dropped in this morning and was greeted immediately by EJ. He was super friendly and made me feel welcome. I would highly recommend this gym

Expérience fantastique: Super great gym. The coaches are fantastic, class schedule means lots of options, nice people work out there.

Expérience fantastique: Great community, coaches are professional and really good at what they do

Expérience fantastique: Highly Recommended...Very professional and sincere training staff .....

Expérience fantastique: I've been loving my experience at CU since my first day, more than 3 years ago and joining is one of the best life decisions I've ever made!! I've seriously transformed my body and mindset, and could not have done it without the exceptional coaching support (special thanks to EKD) and the friendly, welcoming environment. I've been continually impressed with the ongoing level of investments and innovation in new equipment, diverse class programming and athlete & community initiatives. The canine crowd presence is a big plus too :D

Expérience fantastique: Great community, coaches are professional and really good at what they do

Expérience fantastique: This guys now they job

Expérience fantastique: This is community built ! Improved my life and keeps me in the moment. EJ and his team are top notch. Approachable. Friendly. And motivating!

Expérience fantastique: I'm so happy to have found this place and I highly recommend this gym! The coaches and community are both so supportive and friendly. I look forward to my workout every day and I have definitely crushed some health goals thanks to the whole team.

Expérience fantastique: Having tried other Crossfits in Vancouver, and having been at this one for 3 years, I can attest that it's the best. A wide range of classes, lots of personal attention, and most importantly REALLY supportive coaches and fellow Crossfitters who go out of their way to encourage everyone else, regardless of their experience or fitness level. Why work out with the rest, when you can work out with the BEST?

Expérience fantastique: Great community atmosphere

Expérience fantastique: Only just started a few weeks ago but EJ made me, a complete beginner, feel very welcome from the start. Love going to sessions.

Expérience fantastique: I was visiting from Texas and so excited they had a class offered on Sunday. Erin was the coach and she was very knowledgeable and hands on! And they had a shower for members and visitors to use after which is awesome! The members were also very friendly. If I'm ever back in Vancouver, I would definitely visit CrossFit Uncivilized again!

Expérience fantastique: EJ and Erin have done a great job with their gym. Both of them are great trainers and people, and have a great team of coaches to support the members. They have done a great job of creating a positive atmosphere that lets every member succeed - whether you are training to get into shape or really pushing yourself to compete. I was uncertain about crossfit before I joined, but I am really enjoying it. Many thanks to the uncivilized team

Expérience fantastique: I am 45 years old and have been a member at Crossfit Uncivilized for over 3 years. It has completely changed my life. I was overweight and sat at a desk for 10 hours a day. When I started I could barely complete a 400m warm up run. Now I have completely transformed my body and I am doing things I thought were impossible for me. I would like to thank the trainers and the other members who embraced me and helped me get to where I am today!

Expérience fantastique: The best gym ever with great knowledgable coaches, awesome community and members, fun workouts and events, flexible schedule. After one year of following their nutrition tips and workouts, my body fat was dropped from 21% to 14 % while I gained 14 lb lean muscle. So happy to be a part of Uncivilized Family

Expérience fantastique: Free parking, spacious built-for-crossfit facility, well organized program... and great people!

Expérience fantastique: Joined Crossfit Uncivilized 3 years ago when I was out of shape, 25 lbs heavier and with no weight lifting background. My exercise consisted of volleyball a couple nights per week and definitely not the best eating habits. I knew a few friends that were doing Crossfit and seeing great results, so figured I'd give it a try. Completed a six week intro class with Erin and learned the basic movements and proper technique so I was well prepared for when I joined in the regular classes. Met a lot of great people at the gym and seen so many amazing transformations. EJ, Erin and the coaches do an awesome job at making the classes safe, fun and challenging so you never leave without getting a good sweat on. Highly recommend checking it out! Only regret is not starting earlier.

Expérience fantastique: Great!

Expérience fantastique: If anyone told me two years ago that I'd be exercising regularly without a gun to my head, I'd have been convinced they were a lunatic. But the knowledge and guidance of the Crossfit Uncivilized coaching team have allowed me to perform at a level that two-years-ago-me would have never fathomed possible. Coaches EJ and Erin have created something special in the heart of Kitsilano; a positively charged environment for anyone to better themselves physically, where egos are left at the door. If they can train me, they can train anyone. Definitely recommend.

Expérience fantastique: This gym is AWESOME. I'm new to crossfit and was a little apprehensive about not knowing what I was doing when I started, but the excellent coaches at Uncivilized were patient and positive. The facility is very open with tons of space for everyone, there's always enough equipment, and the location is very easy to get to with lots of parking. I can't recommend it enough.

Expérience fantastique: Great experience so far, great direction and well equipped. Coaches are knowledgeable and are good with offering advice on modifications. Recommend the mobility class!

Expérience fantastique: I wish they allowed more stars because Erin & Ej deserve 100/100 for their box. First they've created a great space in which they are constantly changing up, adding new equipment making things more challenging. Second, the workouts they design are tough and challenging, I feel like after every class I want to throw up. But Erin & Ej also help push and encourage you to really give it 100% but doing it safely with proper form. Each class is filled with amazing, supportive people but also the tunes are cranked, which really makes you get in the zone for a killer workout. Apart from the gym and classes they design both Erin & Ej are great human beings and I cannot say enough nice things about them. Being a student budgeting is sometimes hard. Not wanting to give up my new passion I spoke with them and they accommodate my needs, breaking up the payments and do not "hound" me for it or charge me interest which most gyms do. They really care about the athletes (Outside of the money) who come to them and have created an amazing box that fosters a great community among members. Having tried out Studio 55 I cannot recommend Crossfit Uncivillized more.

Expérience positive: What a great box and community! Coaches EJ and Erin are so welcoming and supportive. I have lower back issues and they made sure I modified where I needed to. Very attentive about form throughout the WOD too! They have a nice community, very friendly peeps! Thanks for letting me WOD with you guys and hope to see you again! Theresa K Marysville, Wa.

Expérience fantastique: An amazing 6 weeks. I accomplished great results and best of all I never once felt discouraged or unmotivated. I definitely would do it all over again. Thank you so much to Crossfit uncivilized for your amazing vibe and support. I feel great and now I know My body is stronger and able to do more than I ever thought.
