Yard Athletics

Expérience fantastique: It took me long time to try out this gym--so glad I finally did this past September. I cannot say enough good things about Yard Athletics and the community they have developed. ALL the trainers are amazing, knowledgable and provide a fun challenging workout. The environment is welcoming if you happen to be nervous about trying it out, you won't be disappointed. I have done both PT and group training and the group training truly also feels like you get private training direction. This place is amazing-you should check it out! Shout out to Chelsey, Oriana and Michael-you all keep me motivated:) Thank you Yard Athletics for making my experience so great thus far--looking forward to many more workouts in 2025.

Expérience fantastique: Thank you so much for Yard Athletics and Micheal, I had my first private session today and after so long I feel amazing, great studio, lovely people and very chill place.

Expérience fantastique: yard athletics rules! especially back yard for that “rump pump” if you will. every trainer here has a great level of professionalism and inclusivity keeping their clients happy and moving safely. shoutout to chelsea for being so warm, welcoming and encouraging! she’s really able to meet you where you’re at and her positive energy keeps me coming back.

Expérience fantastique: I’ve been training with Matt primarily and Chelsey on the weekends for the last four months. The team at yard is incredible. Professional, dedicated, effective, encouraging, I feel like I’m a part of a community. I’ve had a few trainers in the last few years as I navigate back from a serious injury. This is by far the best experience I’ve had. It’s a combination of the People in the program and in the vibe you feel when you arrive. I trained four times a week, and I always walk away feeling like I’ve killed it. I’m so grateful that I found these guys. I’m so excited for my progress too, I feel like I have finally found my stride.

Expérience fantastique: Yard Athletics is hands-down the best gym for proper strength training in the city! The caliber of their training is unmatched, with knowledgeable coaches who are genuinely invested in your progress. Their programs are incredibly well-designed, catering to all fitness levels while pushing you to achieve your goals safely and effectively. What really sets Yard Athletics apart is the culture they've created—motivating, supportive, and full of energy. It’s a place where everyone feels welcome, and the community vibe makes training here a truly amazing experience.

Expérience fantastique: Yard is one of the premier gym spaces in Vancouver. Staff is fantastic & incredibly helpful and the gym itself has everything you would need, whether doing a bone yard session or booking an open gym slot. No gym I’d rather use!

Expérience fantastique: I had a really good time working out at yard with my class really appreciate having this opportunity.

Expérience fantastique: I had an amazing time with my basketball class. Ilan had such an amazing energy and was very encouraging.

Expérience fantastique: Hands down one of my favourite gyms to go to downtown. LOVE Chelsea’s classes, she is always technique driven, never forces you to do what you can’t but still motivates you to do better. Great vibes, clean gym, and all the members are so welcoming!

Expérience fantastique: I recently took a trial training session at Yard Athletics with Chelsea, and it was an outstanding experience! Chelsea is an incredibly professional and skilled instructor. She took the time to understand my fitness goals and tailored a quick yet effective workout specifically for me. Her attention to detail and ability to adapt the session to my needs made me feel motivated and confident throughout the training. If you’re looking for a personalized, goal-oriented fitness experience, I strongly recommend checking out Yard Athletics. I’ll definitely be back!

The facility is spotless, and the cleanliness standards are absolutely top-notch. Every visit feels welcoming and safe, thanks to the incredible staff who are caring, genuine, and always attentive. My personal trainer, Chelsea, has been incredible! As someone who used to dread the gym, she has completely changed my experience. She brings such a positive, fun energy, and I actually look forward to each session. Chelsea is supportive and checks in on my progress in the most caring way. She pushes me to do my best without ever making me feel overwhelmed or discouraged if I struggle with something. Her balance of encouragement and gentle guidance is exactly what I need, and her humor keeps me smiling the entire time. If you're looking for a gym with an exceptional team and an amazing environment, I highly recommend this place!

Expérience fantastique: Team is full of rockstars esp Chelsea and Michael. Killer workouts and great music

Expérience fantastique: Can't say enough good things about this gym. Staff are knowledgeable, motivating and genuinely great people. They keep you accountable and care about your fitness journey. The facility is top tier in terms of it's equipment and cleanliness. A room that transports you into a training program that elite athletes would experience. Their programming is meticulously designed and can be adjusted based on your fitness level and experience. There are clients here from all walks of life that can enjoy a challenging workout regardless of their goals. I have been with Yard for 2 years and find it hard to see myself being anywhere else. Shout out to Luke! Been there since my day 1 and continually pushes me and checks in. He is an amazing coach with a lot of knowledge and constant energy for his clients and groups. Definitely check out one of his sessions! Thank you Yard Athletics and staff for the amazing experience thus far! Looking forward to the next year!

Expérience fantastique: Been training at Yard Athletics for 8 months and can't say enough great things about it. My husband and I train with Michael 2-3 days a week. He's exceptional at challenging each of us with our varying fitness levels while keeping it fun. Love the vibe in the gym. The equipment, music and entire training team are awesome!

Expérience fantastique: Great facility and more importantly dedicated and highly knowledgeable trainers. I work out at Yard regularly with Michael Gordan and Matthew Flanagan. Both are excellent! I highly recommend Yard to anyone looking for personal training or group training in Downtown Vancouver

Expérience fantastique: I had the opportunity to bring my high school basketball class in for a month of sessions with Ilan and they were incredible! He is engaged, thorough, incredibly knowledgeable and gave the kids an edge for the season. Ilan does a fantastic job making everything accessible and competitive so everyone felt they were a key part to the experience. Highly recommend!

Expérience fantastique: Great facility & coaches. Special mention to Luke for his ability to make everyone feel welcome and comfortable at all times, both new and seasoned.

Expérience fantastique: Love the Yard! Fantastic facility with great coaches and an amazing community! Much love to Luke, Michael and Jamie (and all the coaches) for all the support and encouragement to get back in shape!

Expérience fantastique: The Yard is my home base for strength and conditioning. Luke is the man. Highly knowledgeable, tailors each workout and gets the most out of each session. Can say the same for the rest of the staff here too.

Expérience fantastique: Been working out at Yard for close to four years. Great environment, great coaching from Luke Williams.

Expérience fantastique: Yards Athletics is a top-notch strength and conditioning facility specializing in small group training and 1:1 personal coaching. The professionalism and expertise here are unmatched—easily the best. To top it all, the pricing offers great value. A special shoutout to Michael. I’d also like to add Ilan and the entire team are all kind, helpful, and highly skilled. Great community. If I could rate it more than 5 stars, I would. Greatful to have found Yards, I highly recommend this place to anyone serious about fitness!

Expérience fantastique: I am a middle-aged woman who does not work out very often. I was quite shy about going to Yard for my company’s group training classes. First of all, this gym is very cozy and inviting. It is not big and I honestly like that. Also first of all, the workouts with Oriana are fire! She has an amazing energy and she pushes one to their limits, without making them feel uncomfortable. I am honestly looking forward to our group classes just because Oriana is a five star trainer. If you go there, get ready to have fun and have your a$$kicked because this girl is a beast!

Expérience fantastique: I can’t say enough good things about this place. The facility is top-notch, and the atmosphere is both welcoming and motivating. What really sets Yard apart, though, is the level of expertise among the trainers. I’ve been working with Luke, and he’s absolutely fantastic. Luke is incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely invested in helping me reach my fitness goals. He customizes every session to not only challenge me but also to make sure I’m improving in the areas that matter most. His attention to detail and focus on form have made a huge difference in my progress. I always leave our sessions feeling stronger and more confident. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or just starting out, Yard Athletics is the place to go, and I highly recommend training with Luke for anyone looking to level up their fitness journey!

Expérience fantastique: Great gym run by a great team. Best way to start a week: Monday 8am with Luke

Expérience fantastique: This gym is amazing, all of the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. I train with Luke and he is absolutely one of the best trainers in Vancouver. He walks the walk, the guy is chiseled to the bone. He will motivate you, he will teach you, and above all he is a great guy. Highly recommend this gym.

Expérience fantastique: I’ve been training at this gym for six months, focusing on strength training to support my MMA journey, and my trainer Luke Williams has been pivotal in my development. He has a deep understanding of how to build strength and endurance especially for athletes training for their sports. Each session is customized to enhance my performance, with exercises that target the muscles I rely on most in the octagon as well as other areas my trainer identified that I was weak/had compensations in. His keen eye for form ensures I’m lifting safely and effectively, and the programming he laid out for me made a huge difference in my overall strength. I’ve noticed significant improvements in my explosiveness and endurance, and Luke always incorporates functional movements that translate directly to my sport. If you’re looking to improve your strength and get in shape, I can’t recommend him highly enough - since starting our journey 6 months ago I have lost 25+lbs and almost doubled my strength on most of my compound lifts.

Expérience fantastique: I’ve had the pleasure of working with Oriana as my personal trainer at Yard Athletics, and I can’t recommend her highly enough! Oriana’s knowledge, professionalism, and enthusiasm are unmatched. She really takes the time to understand your goals and tailors every session to push you in the best way possible. Her positive energy and attention to detail make every workout challenging yet fun. I’ve seen incredible progress since training with her, and she’s truly made fitness an enjoyable part of my routine. If you’re looking for a personal trainer who genuinely cares about your success, Oriana is the one!

Expérience fantastique: I went to my first class today and it was great! Oriana is a great instructor, she is very knowledgeable and was very supportive and encouraging to the entire group. She took the time to teach me about proper mobility and how to do the exercises right. Definitely will be back!

Expérience fantastique: Yard is amazing!!! I don’t know how they manage to be so amazingly welcoming to both beginners like me and experienced experts. I’ve been training with Oriana and Chelsea and I love them.

Expérience fantastique: Non-conventional underground gym, giving off the energy to push harder to achieve your goals. Very welcoming with fantastic people

Expérience fantastique: First session at Yard athletics today as visiting from Vancouver for a few weeks. Great workout, vibe, equipment and instructor. Highly recommended and I’ve booked in for another session the following day. 5 stars Yard. See ya tomorrow!

Expérience fantastique: Such a great workout! The classes are never too big and their trainers are very helpful checking in on your form.

Expérience fantastique: Definitely one of my favourite gyms I have ever trained at! All the trainers at Yard are so welcoming, encouraging, and extremely knowledgeable at what they do! I have been seeing Chelsea’s for a few months now for some 1:1 training and she has completely exceeded my expectations. It’s a great place to get back into working out again, and meeting great people. Ilan and his team have done an amazing job at making his gym into a community :)

Expérience fantastique: Wonderful class I had with Chelsey today! I’ve tried many group training classes that involved weight training and always felt intimidated, but here for the first time ever —I felt such a warm welcome as a beginner and felt CONFIDENT! Chelsey showed alternatives in case the exercise was too heavy for me. I will definitely be coming back!

Expérience fantastique: I've been going to this gym five days a week all summer, and it's been awesome. The equipment is top-notch, and the atmosphere is great. My trainers are excellent and really know how to push me to improve. I’ve made great progress thanks to them. Highly recommend!

Expérience fantastique: A big shout out to the yard athletics team. Great job in curating functional and fun strength training classes. The studio is super supportive, flexible and inclusive. I joined a year ago motivated by a desire to be strong and injury free to enjoy my passions - mountain biking and skiing. Added bonus was how my increased strength eased the transition back to the bike this spring, compensating while I built back my bike fitness! Thank your team Yard!

Expérience fantastique: Been here for a month so far, every instructor has been so encouraging and helpful. Workouts are well structured and on weekly rotation so it’s easy to stay motivated and consistent here.

Expérience fantastique: I've been training at Yard Athletics for just over 3 years doing both PT and group classes. Prior to that, I had never touched a barbell and was a bit intimidated to even step foot in a strength training gym. Fast forward to today... Yard feels like my second home. I've made friends and most importantly have never been physically stronger thanks to the elite technical coaching, supportive trainers, and fantastic environment at Yard. You will find people of all ages, fitness levels, and backgrounds working out together. There is a true feeling of community. The equipment is top of the line and the gym is spotlessly clean. There are always fun monthly challenges, cool merch launches, community events, and collabs with local businesses happening. I could go on and on... but the key takeaway is that Yard is the best training facility in the city. Thanks Yard! :)

Expérience fantastique: Amazing staff, challenging workouts, clean space, aesthetically pleasing. The list goes on and on! This has been my favorite place to better myself!

Expérience fantastique: Stepping into my first class at Yard Athletics solo, I wasn't sure what to expect. Nearly a year later, I can confidently say I've found a community where I feel safe, constantly trying new things, and building my confidence to grow beyond my comfort zone. You'll find all kinds of people here, each pushing themselves, but the real magic is in the coaches. Their support, passion for what they do, and genuine care have a profound impact. The programming is well-thought-out, accessible, and adaptable, and the space is inclusive to all sorts of bodies and people. You’ll feel amazing after every class, even if the walk back on the stairs leaves you a bit wobbly. Highly recommend!

Expérience fantastique: Love my workouts at Yard! I do a 2-1 pt session with Luke and he is a beauty. The programing covers your primary lifts with some great accessory work. .The big boss Ilan runs a tight ship, the team is knowledgeable and the workouts are challenging but enjoyable enough to keep us coming back. Highly recommend.

Expérience fantastique: Best trainers and training environment that I've found in Van and it's not even close.

Expérience fantastique: Yard is awesome, Cumby is a beauty and the entire facility is awesome. Very positive and fun environment, love showing up every day and enjoy being in the Yard and starting my day strong.

Expérience fantastique: I recently moved back to Gastown and wanted to find somewhere new to workout with a trainer. Found Yard on google. Such a great group. All trainers are very professional, knowledgeable & lovely to work out with. The facility is always clean and someone is constantly vacuuming the floor. The app is also great and makes booking very easy.

Expérience fantastique: I trained with Ilan Cumberbirch at Yard Athletics this summer, and my experience was first-class. The training was tailored specifically to my needs and backed by scientific theory. I was pushed to improve myself every day and always left the gym feeling accomplished. By the end of the summer my performance gains were real and measurable. The staff are professional and courteous, and the facilities are top notch. I highly recommend Yard Athletics to anyone who is looking to take their personal or professional goals to the next level.

Expérience fantastique: The environment that is created at Yard makes it fun and unique coming into the gym. Every time I go into the Yard it is exciting and I know I’m in for a great workout. The team there finds ways to make every workout different and tailor it to whatever needs I need as an athlete

Expérience fantastique: Yard is a special place for all individuals. I train the Yard each summer to prep for my hockey season. Their ability to seek my needs/injuries and they’re still pushing me to be stronger/faster each year. This gym creates a positive training environment that makes it fun to show up everyday. Any personal needs or goals that you want in life will be achieved training at Yard Athletics.

Expérience fantastique: Walked in and was greeted immediately and had l of my questions answered. A thorough orientation and accommodating staff. Clean and organized. Highly recommend!

Expérience fantastique: 15/10 gym, no questions asked. Full of the best trainers, the Yard will leave you 110% satisfied with your workout

Expérience fantastique: Yard athletics is a high end training/workout facility that offers a wide range of classes and programs for people with varying goals. Personally I’ve been training with Ilan Cumberbirch for 7 years, prior to him opening up Yard Athletics, and he has been a huge reason to why I have been able to progress athletically in my sport of hockey, and continue to make each jump in levels, throughout career. In my experience, Ilan and his trainers have always provided a fun and challenging workout environment that pushes myself to become a better, stronger; and more knowledgeable athlete. I would highly recommend Yard Athletics to anyone who is looking for a great environment to workout in, and is ready to challenge themselves each day, both physically and mentally.

Expérience fantastique: Best team, best vibe/atmosphere, best clientele, super clean, best overall spot in my and all my friends opinion. Love it.

Expérience fantastique: Personal Training with Jamie is the best as he works to cater to your needs and how you are feeling that day! Jamie is cheerful and very friendly and is guaranteed to put a smile on your face!

Expérience fantastique: Sure, here’s a refined version: --- The best workout class in town! I genuinely enjoy the comprehensive full-body and strength complexes. The community here is incredibly welcoming, making it feel like home. The coaches are attentive, taking the time to help you correct your form and educate you. The sets you perform here use real, substantial weights, and there's no rush. You'll train like an athlete here!

Expérience fantastique: Elite facility and elite trainers! When they say 'trusted by professionals' they back it up with the most professional Personal Trainers on their team. I originally booked a 20 session PT package, and my trainer Jamie Fieldhouse created a customized and accessable program that met me where I was at and one that took my strength and physique goals further than I imagined possible in the time that we spent together. Team are personable, professional and most importantly - they know their stuff! And extra points to Chelsey who got this middle aged mobility monster moving with ease again during our Saturday sessions :)

Expérience fantastique: I was trying to find a place to complete my placement for grad school and I wanted to find a place that aligned with my values and philosophy as a student and s&c coach. Yard truly is one of the best places in Vancouver, everyone here has made me feel so welcomed and part of the team. I am so beyond grateful for the opportunity and experience they have provided me. I have learned so much and have become a better coach because of it. On top of shadowing I have been lucky enough to participate in their small group training classes which have been both tough and rewarding. I am so happy I gained forever friends, a second family and invaluable experiences. I cannot thank Yard enough!!!! I would recommend this facility to anyone in a second. Excited to see what’s to come for you guys!!

Expérience fantastique: Great member service from Sam! Helped me sort out scheduling to accommodate my schedule. Great staff, great gym!

Expérience fantastique: Easily the best experience I’ve ever had with a gym. Everyone is so knowledgeable and friendly, the vibe is always 10/10. I actually get excited to come and workout now. Big shoutout to Chelsey and Jamie; two of the hands-down best personal trainers in Vancouver.

Expérience fantastique: Loving my PT sessions with Oriana. Ilan is a font Of knowledge. Check it out!

Expérience fantastique: Highly recommend joining the Yard community! The space is great, the trainers are amazing and the work outs are incredible and have noticeably improved my fitness level. My workouts are a highlight of my week every week!

Expérience fantastique: Great spot for training. Really great atmosphere, equipment and excellent trainers. Can’t recommend the yard enough!

Expérience fantastique: Yard is the first gym I have trained at and I wouldn’t go anywhere else after my experience so far. It is such a welcoming environment and the trainers are incredible!

Expérience fantastique: Hands down best gym in Vancouver! I’ve been training at Yard Athletics the past few years. The coaches help teach you proper technique while creating a fun atmosphere!

Expérience fantastique: I’ve been training at the Yard since October 2023 and have loved every minute of it! The gym has a great atmosphere that always energizes me for my workouts. The staff is very knowledgeable and passionate about what they do, and they go out of their way to make everyone feel welcome. I would highly recommend Yard Athletics to anyone in Vancouver looking for a professional yet fun training experience.

Expérience fantastique: Wow! Yard Athletics is community based and relies on all types of physical workout. All the coaches are great, wish it could grow as a franchise in the future outside of Vancouver! I highly recommend it. You won’t be disappointed.

Expérience fantastique: I loved my Workout in Yard especially with Chelsea on Sunday! She is amazing, full of good energy, it’s so motivating!

Expérience fantastique: The company I work for has company exercise activities twice a month and we have gone to Yard Athletics twice so far. It's been nothing but a great experience both times. We had Jaime and Michael train each of the sessions and they're great coaches/trainers! Excellent music choice as well to keep you pumped and excited!

Expérience fantastique: Matt Flanagan is one of the best! Knowledgeable and committed to his clients' success. I feel grateful for having met him and the team at Yard Athletics. I would recommend Matt to anyone who's an experienced athlete or looking to boost their fitness after years of being sedentary. Don't think twice about joining a group class or treating yourself to personal training. You won't regret it!

Expérience fantastique: Yard is my favourite gym in the city. I've been training here for over a year and it is truly unmatched. All the coaches make you feel so welcomed and at home as soon as you step foot in the gym - an amazing community to be a part of. Top of the line facility and people, I truly can't recommend it enough. Matt is my coach and he is incredible. I go into every PT session with him confident I'm going to get a great workout tailored to my goals and have fun while doing it. He's super attentive, knowledgeable and just a great guy all around. My muscles have never been more sore after a session with him (in the best way possible) !! Thanks Ilan for creating such a positive and impactful community at Yard!

Expérience fantastique: I highly recommend Matt as a personal trainer! His expertise not only helped me achieve strength goals but also ensured I avoided re-injury to my back. I appreciate his calm and approachable demeanor, coupled with the ability to push me when needed. Really satisfied with the progress and results!

Expérience fantastique: Great space, great people and an even better workout! The group sessions are so much fun and perfectly challenging. I did a morning class before work with the team and the workout with great music has me extremely energized. Every trainer at the yard is extremely knowledgeable and so supportive! You have to try this place out!

Expérience fantastique: Only the best equipment you could ask for paired with a great location and layout. Trainers are all excellent trainers and great people. Very obvious that they’re all very motivated and passionate about Yard and helping clients get the most out of their time there. Great for whatever you’re looking for; casual training to great classes all the way to current professional athletes.

Expérience fantastique: I recently attended a group workout with coach Jamie, and it was great! Really enjoyed the programming of the session (3 lifting blocks + conditioning). Plenty of equipment for the size of our group (23 athletes). Two unisex toilets, and several rooms for changing clothes if you're coming from work. All staff there is super friendly as well!

Expérience fantastique: Fantastic spot for a great workout and amazing coaching. Jamie was high energy, great at explaining excercises and form and super supportative. Would highly recommend to all. Went with my rugby team as the snow prevented practicing outdoors and we all got a serious workout in while having so much fun.

Expérience fantastique: Great spot and great coaching! Jamie was very patient with explaining form and made sure I wasn't injuring myself/ working with the right weight! Highly recommend.

Expérience fantastique: Jamie was so helpful with teaching proper technique in a quick and accessible way. 10/10 for an effective and enjoyable workout class for all sorts of levels!

Expérience fantastique: Great place to work out. Trainers are super knowledgeable, sessions are varied and well paced, equipment is quality and there's tons of it, so there are always enough plates and racks to go around even in a bigger group session. Shout out to Jamie for an awesome rugby-specific session!

Expérience fantastique: Thoughtfully planned space and all the equipment you need. No better place than a Yard class to get strong Great merch too!

Expérience fantastique: What a workout! Yard is such a great gym to get your sweat on and have fun at the same time. Jamie is a great instructor and really helped me with any modifications I needed. Had such a blast there and will be back for more!

Expérience fantastique: Jamie put on an awesome session for the Meraloma Sr women’s team when the ground was too frozen to practice on! Thanks Yard!

Expérience fantastique: Fantastic gym. Everything you need. Staff are friendly and knowledgable. Equipment is modern and clean. Cant recommend enough

Expérience fantastique: Must see TV. Awesome gym in downtown Vancouver. Been coming here every time I’m in the city and always will. Has everything you need and great staff.

Expérience fantastique: Been going to this gym for 3 years now and it’s been an absolute blast! Best inclusive and hard working environment! The staff are super kind and helpful as well.

Expérience fantastique: The best gym in the city. Yard is a welcoming environment, the instructors are knowledgeable, friendly and encouraging. Best vibes and music. Always a killer workout!

Expérience fantastique: Love the Yard! Well thought out & varied workouts, the small classes are awesome & I always leave feeling accomplished, barely being able to walk up the stairs out of the basement Coach Chelsey is my fave and she delivers the class with knowledge AND power

Expérience fantastique: Did a family workout today and it was awesome! Catered to the kids and adults and kept us smiling the whole time! Loved it!

Expérience fantastique: Been a while since I attended a brunk at the yard and let me to you this place slaps. Vibes were better than I remember, and although I didn’t recognize any of the people inside (which is a good thing I guess) the Yard remains the best full service workout experience in the world. Although the shower space is fairly exclusive, it is absolutely worth the wait given the array of shower gel and shampoo options. Must have been 8-10 different bottles on the shelf to choose from. I’ll be back next week to try the ones that I didn’t get to. 10/10

Expérience fantastique: I started personal training with Matt Flanagan earlier this year and it was the best investment I’ve made in my health this year. Matt is knowledgeable and encouraging, and has met me where I’m at. Yard is a welcoming environment with great people. Thanks Matt!

Expérience fantastique: Fantastic group of people and great gym. Trainers know what they're doing and help give you a great workout. Highly recommend. Luke is the best

Expérience fantastique: I’ve been personal training with Matt Flanagan for four months at Yard. He’s a natural coach with a keen attention to technique and form. His instructions are super clear and he’s easy to connect with each week. Learning the foundations of strength training for the first time here has been so encouraging, fun and rewarding. The whole Yard team is super welcoming—great vibes all around on the turf!

Expérience fantastique: I’ve been training 1:1 with Matt for the past 6 months and it’s the best investment I’ve made this year. I had a lot of anxiety coming back to the gym after two separate knee injuries, but Matt’s training style made me immediately confident that I had made the right choice when choosing to train at Yard. Matt does a great job of listening but also pushing me, and he’s helped me get back to a point where I can be active and not constantly worry about re-injury.. which was my #1 goal! The vibes are great, team is professional, and gym is always super clean. Can’t recommend Matt & the whole Yard crew enough!

Expérience fantastique: Yard was recommended to me as the best gym in the city - and it did not disappoint! I’ve been training with Matt, plus taking group classes with Jamie and Chelsey. I highly recommend Yard for the quality of the trainers, great programming and fantastic client service. I’ve felt welcome and part of the community since day one!

Expérience fantastique: A welcoming space! I have been training with Matt now for 3 months and I am impressed with the technical skills and he is always pushing me to do my best. The whole staff is friendly and the space is clean and set up for success.

Expérience fantastique: I write this review with great pleasure. As someone visibly queer, walking into gyms can be a bit intimidating. But the minute I entered I was greeted so warmly that it’s obvious how much everyone at The Yard truly cares about what they do. I’ve been doing PT with Matt & would recommend this guy to anyone. He is excelling in all aspects that I want from a coach as well as not missing a beat about making me feel comfortable in the space. A team of genuinely kind legends and they’re the best in town for a reason.

Expérience fantastique: I have been training at the Yard for more than 6 years, and I love it! Over those years, I have worked with a number of their trainers and they have all been great. Right now my trainer is Michael. He is terrific! He ensures my lifting techniques are solid, encourages steady progression of weights, and has helped me overcome several minor running injuries. Plus, he's just a really nice person!

Expérience fantastique: Yard Athletics is great gym! Very enjoyable atmosphere! Micheal Gordon is a great trainer! Would recommend him to anyone!

Expérience fantastique: The Yard is hands down the best gym I have tried in Vancouver. Their small group classes have great programming and the trainers are really good at correcting form and providing you with alternatives for the exercises which has been extremely useful as I am working through an injury. I usually take Chelsea’s and Jamie’s classes and I couldn’t recommend them more!

Expérience fantastique: A very unique training experience in Vancouver, great workouts where you see results fast! Coaches are knowledgeable and motivating, shout out to Luke who always runs a great class!. Definitely recommend YARD to anyone wanting to start more strength based training or someone who wants a bigger challenge!
