Expérience fantastique: This a a well run professional gym with great equipment, hours and community spirit! A gem in Port Moody. ❤️
Thanks Conall! We hope to see you again soon.
Expérience fantastique: I have known Anthony for over 20 years, and have been training with him remotely for the last 4, specifically to rehabilitate my knees. Through EB he provides a focused approach that targets your sports and movement goals, while also offering services that address your general wellness. He knows the right time to challenge you to go further but also takes feedback to adjust programs in order to suit your schedule and motivation levels. If you are serious about your movement and fitness goals, an EB program is a must.
Thanks so much Hamad, it's been a pleasure to help guide you on your movement and fitness goals.
Expérience fantastique: Coming off of an intensive rehab program for a knee injury and following my orthopaedic surgeon’s advice to find a strength coach to help me get back to my normal and avoid surgery I found Engineered Bodies through a Google search for strength training programs in my local area, Port Moody. I spoke to multiple trainers and coaches at a variety of facilities in the area. What struck me about Anthony was his empathy and understanding of my situation and goals. He related his personal experience with similar injuries and I felt heard and understood. From that initial consult he began building a plan to get me back on track. I have had some previous training experience with some sport specific programs but never any real one on one coaching. The first few sessions felt like I was a bit out of place, but Anthony’s enthusiasm, energy and especially his patience as I became comfortable in the gym kept me motivated and excited for my next session. I was also struck by how supportive and friendly the other members at the gym were. There’s a real community vibe when I’m there. I work a physical job, and enjoy mountain biking and skiing. Activities that caused me pain and discomfort previously at work I can now do for extended periods of time with no issue. Biking and skiing I have more strength and power than I can remember. I was considering life without skiing and biking in January, now I’m feeling more confident in my physical ability when out having fun. A big thank you to Anthony for mentoring me through my training adventure. My body feels great and I feel stronger and more confident.
We are so happy to hear this Nic, and excited that you are back the activities that you enjoy. See you in the gym!
Expérience fantastique: Anthony is my best fitness coach! Within two months I felt relief from years of sciatic nerve pain and my muscle strength increased. Before coming to engineered bodies I felt that I was getting old and my muscles and joints felt tight. However, now I feel young and healthy, and my joints feel much better. While training he not only helps me with my form but he also educates me and explains the benefits and reasoning for doing that movement. Anthony started from the basics and used different methods to help my fitness improve. I joined this gym more than one year ago and planning to continue for many more years. I would highly recommend Engineered Bodies to anyone cares about their health and wellness.
Thanks Harjit! That's our goal - helping you live your life to the fullest!
Expérience fantastique: I have been with Engineered Bodies since Sept 2021 and they have gotten me into the best shape of my life. The coaches and community are very supportive helping through personal struggles beyond just physical fitness.
Thanks Marshall - so glad to have you here.
Expérience fantastique: Engineered Bodies has made an incredible difference in all aspects of our son's life. He has gained so much more than just physical strength. We quickly observed benefits outside of the gym with remarkable progress in his learning, social skills, and overall confidence. He is resilient and has learned of his own value because the EB family embraces individuals and trains them physically while taking care of the whole child. Thank you for you incredible care of our son.
Thanks so much - it has been our pleasure to see his confidence grow in the gym and to know that it has translated to other aspects of his life is very rewarding. We can't wait to see he achieves next!
Expérience fantastique: I picked up strength training as a hobby during covid, but my self-taught regimen wasn't doing any favors for my back. I decided to find a coach who could help me safely correct my form and technique. Through an initial consultation meeting and a series of 1:1 assessments, Anthony was quick to identify my strengths, weaknesses, and long-term goals. I started the olympic weightlifting program under his guidance, and have been training with him and the other coaches for several months now. Even in this short amount of time, I can tell it has made a huge difference in reducing my back pain, improved my overall stability and posture, and given me a fun way to stay active and fit. What I appreciate about EB is the flexibility and ease of scheduling, the functional and varied programming, and the appropriately sized group sessions that allow for properly supervised training. The positive energy in the gym is infectious and everyone is incredibly supportive of each other, from newbie to veteran. Equipment and space are in abundance, and Anthony's knowledgeable team are friendly and approachable. You'd be hard-pressed to find another gym like this anywhere else!
Thanks so much! We are so happy you found us and can't wait to celebrate PRs with you.
Expérience fantastique: I joined EB in November 2023, and I am thrilled that I did. Previously, sticking to a gym routine was challenging for me due to finding regular gyms boring and unfriendly. EB, however, is the complete opposite. The coaches tailor and adapt the exercises to suit individual needs. The fellow participants in my weightlifting program are incredibly friendly and supportive. Even on days when I feel tired and reluctant to work out, I remind myself that I'll enjoy my time at the gym because I genuinely do. Since joining, I've noticed significant improvements in my strength, which has had a profound impact on my mental health and overall energy levels. The owners are caring individuals who strive to create a welcoming environment. I cannot recommend EB, its coaches, and its community enough to anyone seeking a positive fitness experience!
Thanks so much Ana - we are thrilled to have you!
Expérience fantastique: I’ve been attending Engineered Bodies for a solid six months and can confidently say that this establishment is a gem in the Tri-Cities. EB is not just a gym, it’s a community that fosters growth and camaraderie, motivating everyone to excel in their own fitness journey. Anthony, Sara, and Shervin are knowledgeable coaches who take the time to understand your individual goals and limitations, promoting progress without compromising safety. They’re also great at engaging with clients and providing the energy and encouragement to motivate you even on those days when life seems too busy or hectic to go to the gym. I joined EB’s Functional Fitness program as a seasoned athlete and competed in my first Community Throwdown this past November. It was a blast working out with other EB members and athletes from local gyms. Looking to improve my olympic lifts, I switched over to the weightlifting program at the beginning of January and have already hit new personal bests while gaining a newfound confidence performing snatches and power jerks. EB’s commitment to injury prevention is also evident with its emphasis on proper warm-up and movement technqiues, and giving you easy ways to incorporate mobility training throughout the day so you can perform your best in the gym. If you’re searching for a place that values your health and well-being as much as your gains, look no further than Engineered Bodies. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or a beginner taking your first steps into the world of strength training, you’ll find a supportive and inclusive community at EB, with coaches to provide the technical know-how and encouragement to get you going and keep you going. Hope to see you in the gym!
Thanks so much Evon! It has been so much fun getting to know you and watch as you reach towards and accomplish new goals. See you at the gym!
Expérience fantastique: Just wrapped up my first few months at Engineered Bodies, and I’m compelled to share my experience. This isn’t just a gym; it’s a game-changer. Knowledgeable Coaches: Every coach here is a treasure trove of fitness knowledge. They’re not just going through the motions; Anthony, Sarah, and Shervin live and breathe what they teach. Authenticity: This gym is the real deal. They are not trying to sell you their programs using latest internet buzzword hits or virtue signalling unauthentic motivational speeches on Instagram. The coaches and members are authentic, making you feel welcome and valued from day one. Community Spirit: The sense of community here is incredible. My classmates aren’t just workout buddies; they’re motivators, supporters, and friends. Dynamic and Customized Programs: The programs are dynamic and tailored by experienced coaches. I've seen significant improvements in my weightlifting thanks to this program. Encouraging Environment: This gym has an environment that encourages you to push your limits in a healthy way. It’s not about competition; it’s about personal growth. Pushing Limits: I’ve achieved things I never thought possible. The coaches have a knack for knowing how far to push you safely. Highly Recommend!
Thanks so much, Chay! We know you are only getting started and we can't wait to share in many more milestones with you.
Expérience fantastique: I joined EB in September and never looked back. The trainers are so supportive. The programming is consistent and periodized. The members are so amazing ! I love how organized and motivating the workouts are. It feels like a family. My son even joined the youth weightlifting program and he is hooked ! Not only that, but we have already seen huge improvements in his basketball after he began strength training. I strongly recommend Engineered Bodies to anyone serious about their health and wellness !
Thanks Shereen! We are so happy to have you and your son as part of the EB family and are looking forward to sharing many more milestones with you both.
Expérience fantastique: I first joined Engineer Bodies when I was 17, I decided to go after both my brother and mom recommended it. I have always been intimidated by gyms and have struggled with anxiety around sports/working out my whole life. In the first few weeks i was worried about dropping out but the easy programs and friendly coaches/people have kept me going for over a year :) All the programs are easy to follow and made to help you reach your goals or accommodate your needs. A couple months after joining I was introduced to weightlifting, I had no prior knowledge and started from the very bottom with a plastic bar, and watching myself go up slowly in weights has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. One of my most favourite things though is the EB community. Everyone interaction I have here has been a positive one, I have never felt judged or unwelcome. The gym has become such a safe place to be in, something I could never have imaged before going here. I have recommend this gym to anyone I have met and will continue to recommend it. I have never enjoyed working out before but going here has me looking forward to the next session!
Thanks Maddie! We've enjoyed getting to know you and watch you gain confidence in the gym and get stronger. See you soon!
Expérience fantastique: I first joined Engineered Bodies through their kickstart program, where I was interested in learning new exercises I could do at the gym. I had never learned any weightlifting techniques beyond going to public gyms or exercise classes and had felt intimidated by some gym atmospheres. This is not the case at EB! The coaches made me feel so welcomed as a new person and really took the time (and continue to take the time) to teach me proper technique. I appreciate that Anthony, Sara, and EB coaches care about the quality of movement and are highly knowledgeable. They can scale movements to meet you where you’re at. I’m now enrolled in the Functional Fitness program and in one year, I've been able to create a consistent gym habit and reach goals I thought were never going to be possible (like chin-ups!). It has added a positive change to my work from home routine, and it’s a welcoming community that I’m happy to be a part of. Bonus: Anthony teaches a handstand class on Saturdays that is really fun! I would highly recommend checking Engineered Bodies out!
Thanks Amber! Chin-ups are just the beginning! See you at Handstands :)
Expérience fantastique: I’d already been working out by myself before visiting EB, but I wasn’t sure what I was doing and things were getting repetitive and boring for me. My mom suggested I go visit Anthony and it was one of the best decisions I’d ever made. We started with getting the basics down and slowly started progressing into advanced techniques. My progress accelerated exponentially with Anthony. When I started I couldn’t touch a 10 foot rim, now a couple years later I can pretty much dunk. Anthony has taught me many things about jumping and lifting and I feel much more educated on the subject. I know that I will be able to use what he’s taught me for the rest of my life. I would recommend EB to anyone looking to learn more about jumping, lifting and fitness in general.
Thanks Aiden! It has been rewarding for us to watch your progress - exponential, as you said. Good luck this basketball season! Update (Dec 2023): Aiden dunked in warmup prior to a game! It is only a matter of time before he dunks in a game.
Expérience fantastique: I joined Engineered Bodies 4 years ago when I was 16 years old. I thought the sport of Olympic weightlifting was very interesting, and one of my brother's friends recommended Engineered Bodies. When I first came to EB I knew very little about the sport of weightlifting, and the coaches at EB have helped me tremendously. Anthony provides easy to follow programs to all the weightlifters showing us our sets, reps, intensity and rest. Which helps a ton as it allows us to focus on the exercise and not have to think about how much we should be putting on or how long our rest should be. The coaches at EB are extremely approachable and if you have any questions or problems with things such as mobility, are always able to help. Engineered Bodies has all the equipment needed for someone to get stronger, more mobile and healthier. One of the most impressive things about the gym is the community. I have never met someone here who has not been very open and welcoming, which for a teenager learning a new sport, was super helpful to make me feel like I was included at the gym. As I started going to competitions for weightlifting, the whole weightlifting community has been so encouraging. Always helping to lift me up if a training session doesn't go as planned or hype me up when the time comes for a big lift. Engineered Bodies also hosts an amazing weightlifting competition, Junior Spring Open, for junior athlete (under 21 years old). As there is only really one junior only competition in all of BC, having another competition only for juniors means so much for young athletes trying to learn and get comfortable in the sport of weightlifting. I'd recommend Engineered Bodies to everyone. whether you are a athlete trying to get stronger for your sport, a person who has not exercised in a while and is looking to get back at it, or just trying to be healthier, Engineered Bodies is an amazing place for you to increase your physical abilities and join a wonderful community.
Thanks so much Ryan! It has been our pleasure to be a part of your journey and to watch and cheer for you at events from local competitions to nationals! You've been a great role model for the younger competitors too.
Expérience fantastique: I've been training with EB for over a year now, and began my journey with the sole purpose of being stronger (and relatively pain free) and can share, I've been able to accomplish that, learned how to Olympic lift, made some fun friends, and gotten both my daughter (10yo) and my father (70yo) into it too. As both a woman and a retired/past athlete - the gym has always been a weird place for me - think non-inviting, intimidating and bro-y, while also being a place that brings no joy. EB couldn't be more opposite; the coaches are amazing, they take the time to listen to YOU, all while and offering options that are best suited to you, your mobility needs and your goals. The environment is open-door welcoming, music is always on, the community that is there is supportive, encouraging, and always talking/laughing (even when we're supposed to be lifting). The coaching focus - from Anthony + Sara, on technical skill, consistency, and comprehensive strength and conditioning is beneficial to every one - regardless of age, experience, or fitness level. Honestly, this is the kind of gym, I wish I had experienced as a younger person - the kind of gym that makes you want to take up space, be strong, and feel proud of who you are. And to know that my daughter is getting to experience this now through their Youth Train to Train program, building her strength and her confidence makes me super grateful to have found this space. If it's not clear, I would highly recommend booking at least a visit to see what EB could offer you. Additionally would highly recommend signing up for the Kickstart Program when it opens as both an intro to the foundations of skill, and a way to test it out (it's a great value price wise too).
Thanks J! We are so happy to have you with us and help to make the gym a more fun place for you. You are also being a great role model for your kids. Thank you so much for being an awesome part of our community.
Expérience fantastique: I joined engineered bodies over two years ago as a new lifter with minimal experience wanting to learn how to snatch and clean and jerk. Someone recommended Engineered bodies and I have been training here ever since. When I first started weightlifting, I had basically never trained legs and hook grip hurt my hands. After 2+ years of training with Anthony, Sara, and other EB coaches, I have gotten stronger on every lift. In addition to being in better shape and becoming a more confident person. The coaches at engineered bodies are fantastic. The equipment is great and the programming is always fun and creative. I have mostly worked with Coach Anthony. He is a very knowledgeable weightlifting coach with years of experience lifting and coaching. He programmes fun sessions that keep you motivated. Engineered bodies is a true local family run business with a great community feel. The coaches are skilled in being able to alter programs so that anyone can train, or modify them to meet mobility or injury challenges. ex.) Anthony has programmed me specific rehab activities that got back to normal training. I would recommend Engineered bodies to people wanting to learn weightlifting, functional fitness, or just get stronger
Thanks for the lovely review, David. We've watched you progress from brand new to competition and are looking forward to supporting you in all your future goals.
Expérience fantastique: The gym has a welcoming and encouraging ambiance. I am a grad student in a STEM field at SFU. With an extremely hectic schedule, the gym's convenient location and flexible timings are a godsend. Everyone in the gym is very friendly, encouraging, and helpful. The gym itself is spacious, clean, and has great cross ventilation. Anthony is an amazing coach. He is very thorough, and quick to answer any emails or texts. I am learning Olympic weightlifting from him. The first session was a joint mobility assessment. Anthony pinpointed all the problem areas precisely and gave me an effective exercise program tailored to work on all my weaknesses. The next two sessions focused on the technique and form of snatch and clean. I had never done weightlifting before and was fascinated and intimidated by the snatch. Fortunately, Anthony broke down the complex movement into several easy-to-learn steps. Moreover, Anthony was extremely helpful in pointing out my mistakes every step of the way and offering valuable insights on correcting them. I also find it motivating that the gym has TVs showing lifts from various weightlifting competitions. Anthony also drops a ton of invaluable advice to boost mobility for desk workers. His tips effectively counter the negative impact of a sedentary lifestyle and poor posture. Despite a previous hip injury, I am optimistic that I will safely be able to perform exercises such as snatch, clean, and jerk with Anthony's guidance. I strongly suggest Engineered Bodies as a worthwhile investment for anyone looking to become stronger and improve their overall well-being.
Thanks for the glowing review, Archit! We are happy to help you learn weightlifting and look forward to celebrating your future goals.
Expérience fantastique: I joined Engineered Bodies almost a year ago and it has been a great experience so far! I have been attending their Olympic weightlifting classes and the coaching has been amazing. They provide excellent one-on-one coaching advice and can tailor specific workouts within group classes to your own personal needs. Whether the workouts need to be adjusted to accommodate an injury or to address a weakness in technique, you are sure to get great advice that will help you better. All workout sessions are accompanied by a coach that is available for advise and guidance on lifting and technique. The gym is well equipment with everything you would need to develop and get better in any area of focus. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone in the Port Moody and Coquitlam area!
Thanks so much Branden. We've enjoyed seeing your progress and are looking forward to celebrating reaching more of your goals with you!
Expérience fantastique: Cannot recommend this gym highly enough although - strange as it is to say - I've never stepped foot inside the physical space. I enrolled in an online coaching program with coach Anthony about six months ago with the goals (at age 47) of greater strength, increased mobility, and getting rid of the "dad bod". Over these past few months I've received certified, individualized coaching that has led me to meet those goals as well as exceed them! I trained for years on my own for the Fire Department and had a high level of fitness, but thanks to coach Anthony and even at 47, I'm in the best shape of my life now. But more than just looking better, I also feel better, and enter into daily tasks with greater confidence in my physical ability to handle them. Injury prevention work has also been greatly appreciated and coach Anthony's high level of knowledge and specialized training has helped me build a foundation that I know will serve me for years to come.
Thanks for the positive review Wesley. It is so rewarding for us to hear about your success and hard work. We hope to meet you in person one day soon.
Expérience fantastique: Great space, great owners, great coaches and well equipped. Engineered Bodies is everything you’re looking for in a local gym with humans dedicated to their craft whether it be Functional Fitness, Olympic Lifting, Power Lifting, Mobility or Nutrition. If you’re new to fitness and in Port Moody, this is the spot.
Thanks Aaron!
Expérience fantastique: I joined Engineered Bodies this summer and it has been one of the best decisions I've made. I mostly train with Anthony, and he and the whole EB community is super supportive and encouraging. Anthony and Sam manage the gym in such a way that it feels like my second home. If my cat would be there it would be my first home for sure :D I also work with Meghan on my nutrition and she has been awesome, sharing so much advice on how to reach my goals with proper nutrition. My goal was and is to increase my strength. And I am super happy with how far I've have come in such a short time. I am lifting weights that I could not imagine lifting before and I feel strong and mobile at the same time. I specifically worked on my knee strength and shoulder mobility. Anthony would always take the time to come up with exercises that directly address my concerns and strengthen my "weak spots". Also, I couldn't use the GHD machine because my knees would feel uncomfortable and he engineered a system that would allow me to still do the exercise using straps and wall bars! I am super thankful to be part of this community and I am looking forward to another year of gains! :D Strongly recommend!
Thank you for the review, Jill. We are so excited to see your hard work pay off and are so happy to have you as a part of our community.
Expérience fantastique: I relocated to Port Moody, BC a year ago and was looking for a gym that had the same community feel, welcoming environment, and knowledgeable, friendly coaches that I had left back in my old home. I am so happy I came across engineered bodies- because it checked all those boxes and more. Anthony and his wife Sam were so welcoming from get go. I started off in their functional fitness program with coach Megan, which was a perfect opportunity to meet some fellow locals and have some fun sweating. I then transitioned into a custom program when I started back into trail running. My goal was to supplement my running and build strength so I could avoid injury and increase my mobility and Coach Anthony has challenged me to do things I never thought I would do before. All of the coaches are very knowledgeable and there is no ego, which is always a welcomed sign of a good, strong community when everyone is cheering you on no matter what your goals are. I know it may be intimidating to walk into a gym that has alot of barbells and no frills, but I promise you, that you are walking into a community focused and highly knowledgeable space that ensures you are training safely and effectively to achieve your goals- whatever they may be. I am so grateful to the EB coaches and community for being so welcoming. I am also the strongest I have ever been. I am finally training smarter and not harder which I can only chalk up to coaches at EB.
Kate - we are so happy you found us and have seen improvements. We can't wait for your little one to join the EB family too. Thank you for your lovely review.
Expérience fantastique: I joined Engineered Bodies in March of 2022 after training at another local gym and not getting the level of coaching I was hoping for and I couldn't be happier with my decision. The coaches and trainers are extremely knowledgeable and supportive. The community of members is also amazing - everyone is supportive and welcoming, making it a great place to work out and socialize. The gym offers a variety of class times and training programs to suit different fitness levels and goals, and the equipment is always well-maintained and clean. I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking for a community to help them reach their fitness goals.
Thanks Matt! We are so glad you and your family found us!
Expérience fantastique: I was referred to Engineered Bodies by a friend when I was looking to make a real change to my fitness routine. I was also recovering from a recent injury, on top of a couple lingering ones, and I liked the idea of the personalized workout plans that Engineered Bodies offered to help with my injuries. But I didn't expect to see results as soon as I did. I had a lingering shoulder injury from a few years prior from playing volleyball, and I would typically feel pain after a few swings. Once Anthony assessed me and I started training, I saw little improvements in my shoulder mobility pretty quickly, but after only a few months of training and targeted shoulder movements, I had gained enough strength back in my shoulder that I was able to hit the ball harder than I had in years, with zero pain. I've been training for just over half a year now, and I already know I plan to stay long term. I have seen real improvements in my strength and mobility across the board in the short time I've been there. The coaches are also very supportive and knowledgeable, and really do care about your health and fitness goals. I had very little experience weightlifting or doing many of the movements that are now part of my programming prior to starting my training here, but it didn't matter because the coaches are always there to support you and teach you how to do movements properly. I would absolutely recommend Engineered Bodies to anyone. The coaches are fantastic, and their custom programming gives flexibility so that you can get exactly what you want out of your workouts.
Thanks so much Kevin! We are so happy you have seen improvements in old injuries and look forward to supporting you as you set new goals for yourself.
Expérience fantastique: I was initially interested in Engineered Bodies because of Anthony's multi-faceted training credentials, combining movement-based approaches with performance and technical approaches. I'd been looking for a more holistic way to train so when I had the chance to visit (I live in the US) I set up three sessions with Anthony. Unfortunately, I had to return home after only one session, but in that time I learned a ton from Anthony about...everything. We then followed up with two online sessions, where Anthony built on what we'd covered in person. I just wanted to get a sense of his philosophy so much of our time was spent exploring ideas and subtle shifts in movements and perspectives. I left with a new appreciation for my body and fitness and have been able to apply what I learned on my own. I love Anthony's view of the body from a very practical perspective. There's so much in the fitness and health world that is based on unfounded dogma or notions it's refreshing to work with someone whose approach is based on the mechanics of how the body actually moves. I feel that an ongoing relationship with Engineered Bodies would be a huge help in my ongoing fitness growth and intend to continue working with them and am planning to visit in person again soon.
Thank you for the kind words, Khaled. We look forward to seeing you in person again soon!
Expérience fantastique: I hit my mid-forties and decided I needed to really do something about my strength and mobility, having never even lifted as much as a barbell before. I couldn’t be happier that I chose EB and the changes they’ve helped me make towards my goals. The coaches I’ve worked with are awesome and really focus on good technique and getting the most out of each session (thank-you Anthony, Sara, Ashten and Sam!). The custom programs that Anthony and his team run have a great balance of continuity to develop technique and variety to keep things interesting. I used to be intimidated by the thought of heading into a gym and lifting weights, but at EB I genuinely look forward to every session! If you’re looking to make effective changes to your strength and fitness in a safe and welcoming environment then Engineered Bodies is definitely worth checking out.
Thanks Pero - we've loved watching your progress and look forward to seeing you hit your next goals!
Expérience fantastique: Engineered Bodies is a fantastic gym and worth the monthly fees. The coaching that is provided is amazing and it is a supportive environment. The coaches take the time to provide constructive feedback and focus on quality movements. I am not athletic and it takes time for me to get the movements to where it should be. The coaches are patient and try presenting different cues to see which works. It does take some getting used to if you are used to getting feedback from working out with mirrors and getting more in tuned with feeling the movement and being more aware of what is happening. No matter where you are in the fitness journey, you are made to feel welcomed. Definitely worth checking out!
Thanks Linda! You're doing great and we are glad to have you with us.
Expérience fantastique: Exactly a Year ago I was looking for something that is different from the regular gyms, as I have been working out in the regular gyms for a while until that point. I was putting on some muscle but wasn't feeling stronger and athletic in my sport (badminton). I did a bit of research and found Olympic lifting is good to develop overall strength and power. I went on google and looked up Olympic lifting near me, and google could not have suggested a better place. Quickly sent an email by clicking on the Contact Us link on the website. Anthony was quick to get back, and he scheduled a one on one intro and assessment session. Since then it has been an amazing journey until today. Anthony quickly assessed me in the intro session and found the root cause for my lower back pain and shoulder pain. He explained to me what's causing the pain and gave me a few mobility exercises to address my condition. Once I started following his program, I saw improvement almost immediately. One year into working with Anthony, I feel a lot stronger and flexible, and the best part is, all the gains translated into my sport of Badminton. All the coaches at Engineered Bodies are very friendly, and the place itself is very welcoming, no matter who is handling the session. Even the members in the gym are very friendly and overall, it’s a very tight knit community. I would recommend all my friends and family to work with Anthony at his gym as he is very good at custom programming that aligns with your goals and needs. I am extremely happy that I chose to train at Engineered bodies.
Thank so much! It's been great to see your progress over the last year and we look forward to helping you with your future goals!
Expérience fantastique: The best gym i could ever ask for. Coach Anthony is very welcoming, informative, hands on helped me to learn proper,detailed techniques so I could lift heavier than I've ever could without pain or injuries. Coch Jure, his program and guidance made me achieve my goal in powerlifting in such short time. Hands down the best gym!
Thank you!
Expérience fantastique: I was in desperate need to get back into shape and decided to look for the gym that was closed to home. Engineered Bodies popped up so I gave it a try. Not having much background at a gym I was nervous but Anthony and the great team of coaches made me comfortable right away. The program was personalized for my needs and everything listed was adjustable for my ability level. When I started I couldn’t even get into the positions needed to do the exercises. It’s been 9/10 months now and I look forward to going every time. The gym has a great commmnity that brings everyone together and a supportive staff. I highly recommend this gym for all ability levels.
Thanks so much for this review, Steve. Your progress has been amazing!
Expérience fantastique: I had been regularly working out and attending HIIT classes 6-7 days a week and decided to sign up for a weight-loss challenge at the start of the year. My partner who was looking for a weightlifting focused gym at the time came across Engineered Bodies and recommended me to give it a try as a way of helping with my challenge and with reaching my fitness goals faster. I was skeptical at first but was willing to give it a try as I was completely new to functional fitness and weightlifting. The thought of a weightlifting gym itself seemed intimidating to me at the time, seeing all the barbells, bumper plates, kettlebells, and no treadmill or yoga mat! After a few orientation sessions with Megan, I started developing great interest in being able to progressively learn new lifts and workouts with the bar that I thought was not for me a few weeks back. I came in first on the challenge and even after the challenge, I didn’t hesitate to continue my sessions with Megan as I was happy with the progress I’ve made the past few months. Megan is a great coach who is inspiring, motivating, approachable, friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. She has been so helpful in helping me break down and hone in on the techniques of every move. In fact, everyone that I’ve met at Engineered Bodies has been very welcoming and friendly. There is definitely a great sense of community with all the members and coaches there as everyone seems to know everyone. Looking back, I am very thankful for Anthony, who persuaded my partner for me to join Engineered Bodies. I would highly recommend this gym for anyone who is new to weightlifting like me, or wanting to perfect and improve on their weightlifting game like my partner.
Thanks for the lovely review, Angela. We are glad to have you and your partner with us and enjoy seeing you progress :)
Expérience fantastique: I have been weightlifting on my own for about 2 years, and finally decided to join Engineered Bodies early 2022 for its weightlifting club. Engineered Bodies has a great training environment, and the peer support is unparalleled. I’ve always heard great things about EB and especially the head coach Anthony; his expertise in the technicalities of weightlifting helped me tremendously. The training progression is very well regulated that while you’re always pushing yourself, you don’t find yourself completely exhausted and burnt-out. Something many people take for granted is how accommodating the training hours are at EB; there is always time available for you to come and train, that you don’t need to schedule your day around training. It has only been 8 months since I joined Engineered Bodies, and the progress that I made is unstoppable. Knowing how to correctly execute each movement and knowing you are as strong as your weakest link and with a little emphasis I’m adding kilos to my lifts! I’ve recommended Engineered Bodies to my wife, and now she’s building a habit of exercising regularly which is priceless to say the least.
Thank you Eric. It's been a pleasure to watch your progress so far and we look forward to celebrating many more milestones with you. We are also happy to welcome your wife and help her build this important habit. See you in class!
Expérience fantastique: EB has been a blessing in my life. I joined in the middle of the pandemic because I needed to get moving and be accountable. I started with the power lifting program and loved it from day 1. My physical and mental health have improved in the time that I have been at EB- It's a great supportive space welcoming of all shapes, sizes , fitness levels and ages. A great big thank you to the coaches and owners for creating an accepting community for people to gain strength and confidence. I will deadlift 100 Kilos before my next birthday!
Thanks Marianne - we will be cheering your 100 kg milestone!
Expérience fantastique: I found Engineered Bodies accidentally, but I stuck around for very good reasons. I was looking for a gym close to home and checked out a few places in Port Moody, but nothing felt quite right until I reached out to Anthony. The questionnaire I was sent before my first time stopping by the gym was the first indication that they cared about my goals and where I was at. I had been very fit at the end of 2019. Then I took a couple weeks off for the honeymoon… and, then COVID really killed any routine I could have gotten back to. When I walked into EB in 2022 I was tired, out of shape, and just lost in my fitness journey. I had so many free 30 day workout plans saved on my phone, but they weren’t built for me and where I was at. I needed a plan and a place that made me want to show up, and I found that at Engineered Bodies. I’ve been going 3 or more times a week for almost a year now to complete custom programming written by Anthony to address my mobility, strength, and technique goals. I’ve improved in every aspect of my training, and I’m learning new things I would have been terrified to try on my own. All the coaches are amazing, knowledgeable, and kind about their corrections and suggestions. As someone who is new to a lot of weightlifting movements and setup, I have never felt embarrassed that I didn’t know how to do something, I just asked. Everyone is friendly, helpful, and wants to be there- which makes a huge difference in the feeling of the place while you’re working out! I’d highly recommend EB to anyone of any age, ability, and fitness level. The coaches are amazing at meeting you where you’re at and helping you move to where you want to be. Truly the best gym I’ve been to!
Thanks so much Nicole! We are happy your found us and even happier that you are continually improving - consistency for the win!
Expérience fantastique: I joined Engineered Bodies after finding Anthony on the ATG coaches list. After having knee issues for the last two years I signed up to Custom Programming with EB where Anthony designed a rehabilitation programme specifically for me to get back to doing the activities I love. EB is like no gym I've been to before, the community atmosphere is so welcoming and the semi-personal training helped me keep on track of my goals while encouraging me to learn how to train safely. Three months later I'm already really impressed by the results and progress.
Thanks Rachel. We are so happy you've seen results that have helped you get back to the activities you love.
Expérience fantastique: I did online coaching with Anthony to help improve my Olympic lifting technique, and after 3 months, the progress has been amazing. A stand out for me is how my body awareness with each lift was suddenly turned on. The online coaching was done through the App TrainHeroic and it was so easy to use. I received my weekly programming in advance (which I LOVE), and uploading my videos is quite simple. And Anthony would give me feedback (via the App) on my training in a timely manner, which was always insightful and helpful. I would highly recommend Engineered Bodies Strength & Conditioning for anyone looking online coaching for any type of training. Anthony is one of the best Athletic Trainers in the business!
Thanks so much for the review, Yolanda. We are happy you had a good experience with online coaching and saw results!
Expérience fantastique: I am currently on my second three-month stretch of online training with Anthony/Engineered Bodies. I first learned about Engineered Bodies because they were the first to host a workshop in North America by Ido Portal’s team after he became more widely known. I really enjoyed that workshop and what I learned about Engineered Bodies at that time, and I returned for a second workshop there. Fast forward a number of years, through which I would see things on and off about Engineered Bodies on social media, all of which I thought impressive. Coach Anthony’s dedication to his clients, to learning, and to growing a better community were obvious, as was his extensive experience coaching. I had been programming workouts for myself, but I was dealing with a nagging and persistent knee issue that had been interfering with doing the things I enjoy. I knew that Anthony had experience here, including rehabbing his own knee. In addition to that, I started seeing positive results from walking backwards (inspired by one of Anthony’s mentors) but wasn’t sure how to build on those results. So, I contacted Anthony for online personal coaching. With a pretty well-equipped home gym and a fairly long history of training, it was easy for me to implement Anthony’s programming. I’ve enjoyed the programming that I have received and have seen great improvements. The app used to deliver the programming (TrainHeroic) feels superior to another one I have used previously and is very easy to use. There is usually a video accompanying each prescribed exercise. The ones that Anthony made are great, short enough (max 1 minute) to be able to revisit them each time if needed, but with all the relevant information and cues. It has been easy to be in touch with Anthony through video feedback and quick questions, for which Instagram messages proved the most direct line. I believe that the initial Zoom assessment and later Zoom follow ups have been helpful for getting the most out of the whole online coaching process. I’ve learned something every time we’ve met for one of these. Thanks to Anthony’s patient but progressive programming, my knee no longer is a constant source of frustration and limitation. In fact, I’ve had many days now where I don’t think about it at all, the best sign of success in rehabbing an injury that I can think of. I have also discovered some weaknesses and some not knee-related exercises through the online coaching that I am excited to use for a long time, and I look forward to seeing what further cycles of programming will bring.
Thanks so much for sharing your experiences, Kai!
Expérience fantastique: My son has been a member of the weightlifting club at Engineering Bodies for a couple years. He recommended me joining the program after seeing proven results from other members to reduce knee and back pain. I haven’t very little experience in gym training before, not knowing if I am able to do any weightlifting at all. This custom program has a wide variety of exercises, so I don’t get bored. The targeted exercises really help improve my whole-body strength and mobility a lot. I am very surprised to get the amazing result at the end of the 3- months program. I only started from 28 kg and now maxing out at 86 kg on the deadlift, 1.7 times of my body weight! My coach Anthony is very professional and supportive, always encouraging me to push for higher limits. The gym environment is very well organised and clean. Sometimes we can also do exercises outside to have some fresh air, I feel safe during this COVID time.
Thank you Fanny! It has been great to see your progress!
Expérience fantastique: I've been a member of Engineered Bodies for 6 months. In that time I have benefited from the bespoke programming and holistic approach to physical wellness that Engineered Bodies provides. Whether your goal is to improve mobility, strength, endurance or even learn Olympic weightlifting, Engineered bodies will provide you with the platform and support to attain your goal.The coaches are incredibly proficient, knowledgeable and dedicated to helping members achieve their fitness aspirations. The facility is top class, and members enjoy their own personal space to exercise with each workout section loaded with all of the equipment one would need. I have been lifting for almost 15 years, and it wasn't until I joined Engineered Bodies that I fully appreciated what can be accomplished with the right coaches.
Thank you so much for the review Brian. If you are happy, we are happy! Looking forward to what you can achieve over the next 6 months.
Expérience fantastique: I had the pleasure of training at Engineered Bodies (EB) for around 1.5 years while living in Port moody. I join during the start of the COVID pandemic when gyms were finally re-opened. I wanted to workout in a safe environment and EB was able to provide this with good safety processes, constant cleaning, as well as each person had their own workout space with their own rack, barbells, plates and kettle bells. Everything you needed is in your space distanced from others working out. Also they have bay doors on both sides so the air is always fresh. This is a great place to go for rookies, intermediate and advance lifters to improve strength, mobility and technique. I primarily went to functional Fitness classes where I was coached on a wide range of movements that included olyimpic and power lifts as well as higher rep movements like kettle bells, rowing, skipping etc. Before EB I thought from years of lifting on my own that I knew what was doing. I quickly learned I didn't know as much as I thought and I had some major mobility issues. When I first started EB I had difficulty getting low on a squat and then when I tried my first clean and first snatch I had alot of difficulty getting into the correct positions. The coaches were able to help me through mobility movements and kept my ego in check by keeping the weight reasonable until I improved mobility and technique. Now I can confidently do these lifts. All classes were booked through an app and all our pre planned workouts were also on an app where we could track our progress. This helped me plan out my week to balance family/work and getting in 3-4 classes a week. The community of this gym is what sets it apart. It's family run, and this gym is for the whole family with the youth program. All members are there to work hard but it's not competative like cross fits gyms. The enviroment is positive, inviting and the highly experienced coaches provided encouragement to keep everyone motivated and challenged. I highly recommend this gym if you want to take your health and fitness to the next level.
Thanks Paolo. We’ve enjoyed having you and your family as part of our community. We wish you all the best in the next chapter of your life and please stop by to visit anytime you are back in Port Moody.
Expérience fantastique: I joined EB 5 years ago at age 57 to learn CrossFit. Anthony did a mobility assessment and I started a beginner course.I loved it and later branched off to powerlifting, olympic lifting and functional fitness. There has always been qualified, skilled coaches, to help me reach my goals. My confidence and strength has increased.The culture is diverse and inclusive. Currently I am working on a custom program and there are many classes every day. Covid protocols are always current and communicated. Very well organized. I feel very safe. The gym is involved in fundraiser events to give back to the community. This is my healthy aging plan. Since last review I have been training to compete in olympic lifting at The B.C. Provincials. Last March I won a gold medal in the 60-65 age group. I am currently training to make a record next March. I highly recommend E.B. for anyone trying to get stronger. There is also a community of fun, friendly, amazing people .The training is extremely good value for the cost.
Rox, thanks so much for the lovely review. We are happy to be a part of your healthy aging plan. You are an inspiration!
Expérience fantastique: I joined Engineered Bodies (EB) in December 2019. My choice was based on google reviews which appeared to be 100% true. My initial goal was to learn proper technique for squats, deadlift and bench press, however EB gave me much more than I expected. I started from the powerlifting program 3x/week, later switched to custom programming 5x/week and also I did a mentorship program as a personal trainer. As a result I was able to significantly improve the lifts technique and weight wise, learn a lot of other exercises for general health and gain valuable shadowing experience as a personal trainer. All coaches at EB are great experts with unique approaches to the training. They always do their best to help meet clients’ training goals, while taking into account their needs and limitations. For almost a year that I have been training at EB I haven’t met even a single person who has no progress or unhappy with their training. However, what makes EB unique is a community spirit as you can see the entire families train here. It truly feels like home. Btw, the schedule is very flexible.
Thanks for the glowing review Julia. We've enjoyed watching your evolution and progress!
Expérience fantastique: I joined Engineered Bodies (EB) in the spring of 2021. My goal was to gain strength after months of inactivity due to Covid-19. I met Anthony (EB owner and coach) for an initial assessment, I felt immediately welcomed to the EB family. I remember Anthony telling me that in 3 months of following his customized program, I would see positive results. He was right! I feel stronger than ever. The coaches are friendly, encouraging and supportive. The EB community is diverse, very friendly and non judgmental. I highly recommend to join the EB family, you won’t regret it!!!
Thanks José! We are glad you chose EB and really happy that you are feeling stronger!
Expérience fantastique: An update on my previous review: I have now unlocked a strict muscle up and have made added more weight to all my lifts. I also used to have shoulder pain when snatching, but due to some joint mobility work that Anthony has put me through, I can snatch without pain and have increased my shoulder mobility tremendously.
That's so awesome, Pasha!
Expérience fantastique: I joined EB after watching my boys train there for a couple of years. I saw their great results but had little faith that what worked for athletic teenagers would be a good match for their middle aged mother. I came in with typical pains of a sedentary person: lower back pain, knee and hip pains, aching feet and limited functional mobility (for instance, I was able to go down in a squat but not able to come up unassisted). A friend and I joined and have been enjoying every session, three times a week, ever since. I did group class in the beginning and switched to custom programing later to better address my knee issues. Coaches had a lot of understanding for complete beginners and are there to offer guidance and encouragement at every stage and with good sense of humor. Now, with more experience, I train mostly independently knowing that a coach is there at all times to support and answer my (numerous) questions. I feel strong and I know I am, even numbers prove it! (the app we use to track our workouts is super helpful) I sleep better and am in better mood (especially when nicely tired after a workout). My endurance on everyday tasks is improved. Lower back pain is gone. I enjoy every hour spent at EB: workout, environment and company! Sometimes we all work out together: my husband, boys, friends and it feels awesome, one big strong family!
We enjoy you and your family too, Gordana! We are looking forward to many more fun training days with you.
Expérience fantastique: I was initially hesitant to go to Engineered Bodies because Port Moody seemed far away, but was pleasantly surprised that it's right next to the SkyTrain station. At Engineered Bodies, you're not just a member in their database, but an athlete who the coaches help reach new athletic achievements, or simply feel with age (not just feel beat up with workouts). I've mostly been attending the Olympic weightlifting classes after starting with the gymnastics/handstands classes. Anthony (head coach/owner) isn't just knowledgeable on the technical aspects of movement and strength & conditioning, but also shows through his actions that he cares about each individual member to ensure they feel seen and show up consistently. Because of my time at Engineered Bodies, I've improved my lifting technique, hit some personal records, gained new skills (full bodyweight dips and handstands), and added impactful exercises to my repertoire. I've also experienced what good coaching looks like from both the technical and human aspects. Don't just work out. Get better at Engineered Bodies.
Thank you Silvia! We appreciate you too and look forward to celebrating new PRs with you in the future.
Expérience fantastique: I am 57 and I joined EB in 2020 with a friend. I wasn’t sure if it was a good fit for me because I don’t really like exercising and I was not in shape. For those reasons I felt a bit intimidated. From day one, EB has been a great experience. The workouts are varied and supervised by knowledgable and friendly coaches. Not to mention how patient and supportive they’ve been with me. At the moment I have the custom programming membership and for the first time in my life I am in good shape, and I experience less aches and pains in my body than before. Going to EB not only gives me a break during my busy day, but it is the best investment I could for my health. I only have positive things to say about EB and their staff, we are lucky we have them in the tri-cities and I would recommended to everyone.
Thanks Isabel! We are so glad you have experienced positive results!
Expérience fantastique: After seeing great fitness results in our boys that workout at this place, we decided to join and I feel that has been great investment. Coach Jure have configured a program that worked on my mobility issues caused by old injuries( I can finally place my hands above my shoulders when I sleep). Also my fitness level has dramatically increased. Engineered bodies is a very organized, safe and friendly family run business. Our family is very happy to workout at this place. Thank you Nenad...
Thank you Nenad! We are happy to have you and your whole family with us. Looking forward to seeing what you can achieve next!
Expérience fantastique: I was first introduced to EB through a family member back in January of 2020. I first met with Anthony for a 1 on 1 consultation which proved helpful in figuring out which one of EB's classes or programs would work best for me. Considering I was very much a 'beginner' at the time, it made sense for me to enroll in some personal training sessions with Anthony. They were incredibly helpful and after finishing several weeks worth of personal training with Anthony, I felt ready to move into what was called the 'CrossFit' program back then. Its name has since been changed to 'Functional Fitness' but the programming still remains the same. After a few months of participating in EB's Functional Fitness classes, I realized that my needs had changed; I was working through an old knee injury and Anthony and I decided that it would make the most sense to enroll in EB's 'Independent Training' program where your assigned coach creates relevant programming for you on a weekly and monthly basis. I believe that this custom programming proved to be extremely helpful in rehabilitating my knee. As of a few months ago, after successfully rehabilitating my knee and being pain-free, I've had Anthony shift my custom programming to reflect more of a focus on over strength training + upper body strength. I've made, what I consider to be, incredible progress since starting my journey at EB 12+ months ago. More specifically, I've learned how to do proper push-ups + pull-ups and am lifting heavier weights as the weeks and months go by. The coaches at EB are all not only incredibly friendly and professional individuals, you can tell they're really passionate regarding what they do. Their expertise and guidance are the foundation for the changes you will see while at EB. Furthermore, EB is a fantastic community comprised of friendly, caring, and supportive members that cheer each other on in every class/program. Anthony, Samantha, and their team have done an incredible job at making every member feel welcomed and included. I'm very happy to be an EB member and look forward to regularly attending classes 4-5x per week; over the course of the last 12+ months, attending the Independent Training class times has become part of my routine. Additionally, I should also mention that Anthony + Sam have done a fantastic job following the guidelines set in place by health authorities to ensure proper social distancing measures and the health and safety of members and staff at the gym. I've been very impressed with their concise, regular, and detailed levels of communication across various mediums (i.e. email newsletter, Facebook group). If you're looking to join a close-knit community of individuals who care very deeply about self-improvement and fitness while also having fun at the same time, you should consider booking a consultation at EB. This is, without a single doubt, one of the single best investments I've made to date. I feel healthier, stronger, happier, more confident, and have also noticed improvements in my professional life.
Thank you Angus. We are grateful for your support and it’s great watching your hard work pay off as you achieve your goals.
Expérience fantastique: I joined Engineered Bodies because of the owner, Anthony. I had not been in a gym in decades and did not want to injure myself. Knowing of his early education as an Engineer I knew he would take a well planned, methodical and safe approach to my training, which he and his staff did. Anthony and the entire staff focused on all aspects of my health in providing structure for my training. The staff would always correct my technique to enable me to properly and safely perform the exercises. The entire staff is well educated and fun to work with. There is a real comradery and sense of community with the members of the gym and the staff . We had fun events in and outside of the gym. There was a very wide range of people in the gym which made for a great community. The gym is not just for those of us trying to stay healthy and fit but also for those wanting a very specific program focused on their goals in a specific sport. I was never big into weight lifting but new I needed to get some exercise because the hiking I was doing every few weeks was not enough. I was concerned that the squats and other exercised would hurt my damaged knees. To my surprise my knee pain was reduced and my flexibility increased! I started out with an empty bar and using the pink kettle bells, yes I checked my ego at the door! My time at the gym was interrupted by Covid so I missed some time in the gym. During this time the coaches created live on line classes using that we could participate in from our home. It was great and I met some new people. After coming back to the gym and lifting for a couple of months we did a test to see what we could do in three standard lifts, Deadlift, Back Squat and Bench Press. I have never set a personal best in lifting and was not sure what to expect. I did not do the bench press because I was still working though an injury. For my back squat I maxed out at 231 lbs and my dead lift I achieved 297 lbs! I was very pleased with my achievement as I had not trained very long and I only weigh about 165 lbs. I look forward to breaking 300 lbs! I would recommend Engineered Bodies to my friends, family, anyone wanting to get in shape, or someone who wants to excel in their sport.
Thanks, Paul! That’s awesome progress and it’s our goal to help you reach yours.
Expérience fantastique: I am a 42 years old. At my 40th birthday I made decision to join a gym to loose weight and become stronger. My body and brain was giving up on me. I joined two famous gyms and I ended up with disappointment and injury. But I learned a valuable lesson: use Mr. Google to make a list of gyms in neighborhood, have appointment with them and hear what they have to offer for me. That's how I joined EB about 6 monthes ago and I am absolutely happy with EB. I could not resist to register right away after my appointment with Anthony (the owner). He is knowledgeable, trustworthy, friendly and passionate. Meet him and there is big chance you register right away. Anthony offered me was the Rookie training which includes 7 session private/semi private session for mobility and flexibility assessment and training for major exercise in class as well as one session for diet. These 7 sessions helped me a lot to understand my barriers and how to improve them. For me Rookie training is like having a personal trainer with group class cost! The outcome for me was absolutely better than having one to one trainer in the other two gyms! In EB you don't only join a gym but a community with amazing lovely people. In less than 6 month, I lost fat , I gained muscle and my body style is absolutely changed! I am supper happy with the results. Beside exercise, I learned how to keep going consistently. Thanks to knowledgeable, caring and engaging coaches Anthony, Jure, Meghan and Samantha. As a bonus, EB members had a chance to exercise while other gyms were closed for COVID! They manage to put effective protocol sometimes as quick as overnight to keep EB operation. Thanks heaps EB team :-)
Thanks Masoud! We are thankful you found us and we look forward to seeing you every day!
Expérience fantastique: I joined Engineered Bodies 4 years ago, and what an amazing experience it has been! Anthony and Samantha have assembled a top-notch team of coaches, a very comprehensive strength and conditioning program, and a highly supportive community. Every single coach is genuinely interested in helping you become a better version of yourself with every workout, which I find highly motivating. Engineered Bodies is also built on a very holistic philosophy: They not only offer strength and conditioning classes like functional fitness or weightlifting, but they also add dedicated mobility classes and health coaching to the mix, both of which have been hugely beneficial for me. Working out at EB and enjoying the camaraderie it offers have become an integral part of my daily routine. Fun fact: My 9-year-old daughter joined the EB youth weightlifting program three years ago, and it has helped her tremendously on her journey to become a strong and confident human being. I can’t wait for my son to soon be old enough to join as well!
We have enjoyed sharing so many milestones with you and your daughter and look forward to sharing more!
Expérience fantastique: I joined EB 6 months ago and I cant even say enough how much I improved my mobility and strength and seeing how my body transformed. I tried different gyms and had few coaches in the past but this place has the most amazing coaches with a lot of passions and care , especially Anthony (the owner) . I have to mention that EB is the most safest place to workout with all other professional and kind community environment in this Pandemic times. And I’ll recommend it to everyone who wants to see and become a better version of themselves. I would give even more than 5 star to EB If I could .
Thanks Ana :)
Expérience fantastique: My partner and I moved to Port Moody in August and wanted to find a new gym but also integrate into the community. EB did both! I had no prior weight lifting experience - I initially joined EB to support my partner/help him find a fitness routine that worked for him in our new neighbourhood and didn’t expect to stay on myself. However the coaches made the introduction to this type of training so enjoyable and are incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming! Now I’m very much enjoying the training and community - I’m so glad I joined and don’t anticipate leaving any time soon. We’ve only been going to EB for about 3 months and are already noticing positive changes. We’re feeling healthier and stronger (and I was doing spin regularly before). The first several sessions were more or less 1:1 and tailored to learning the basics, which I found very helpful. Since then EB has become part of our every day lives and we look forward to going 3-4 times a week. I am so glad my partner’s sister referred us to EB. We found a welcoming gym that we look forward to going to several times a week. The coaches are next level - not just experts in the field but also genuinely great people. I’m so happy we decided to give it a go. Glad to be part of the EB community!
Thank you Claudia - we are happy to have you both in our community!
Expérience fantastique: When I started at Engineered Bodies I had almost no experience with exercising at a gym (other than a few unsuccessful attempts going to other gyms on my own and having no clue what I was doing and leaving feeling bored and discouraged) and hadn’t spent any real time focusing on my physical fitness since high school (almost 10 years ago). I started working with one of their trainers, Sara, by recommendation of my boyfriend who had been going to the gym for about a year. Sara was wonderful, she asked me what my goals were (which I didn’t really know what my goal was besides “start going to the gym”) and worked with me to start learning a variety of exercises. Honestly, I never thought I’d be the type of person who looked forward to going to the gym, but Sara and Anthony helped me find something new that I enjoyed, olympic weightlifting. Since working with Sara I have joined EB’s weightlifting program, and I am super grateful they helped me find this new activity that I love. What impressed me the most about Engineered Bodies is the community that has been cultivated here. I was definitely nervous going in as a total newbie, but I immediately was reassured by the positive, encouraging atmosphere. There’s no shame in being a total beginner, everyone here just wants to see each other succeed. I would 100% recommend Engineered Bodies to anyone who wants to start, or continue, their fitness journey. The knowledge and passion exhibited from all the coaches is clear. They are committed to not just getting you in shape, but finding something you enjoy and keeping you wanting to come back.
Thanks so much Laura - we love watching our clients discover their passion for new things. :)
Expérience fantastique: Edit - updated review :) I've been working with Megan on a custom program for the last 4-5 months and she had been amazing and incredibly supportive. Five months ago I had 0 full pushups, 0 chin-ups, 0 pull-ups. After following her well thought out program, I have 15+ push-ups, weighted chin-ups, and finally an actual real honest pull-up. Thanks, Megan!! _____________________________________________________ I joined EB as I was looking for a safe and well-maintained gym to join during Covid, and as I'm into my 40s I wanted to focus on strength and endurance training to keep me fit and happy long-term. Engineered Bodies met all my requirements! Anthony, Sean, Jure, Megan and all the trainers' focus on technique and 'doing things right' gives me a lot more confidence - I was utterly shocked at what I could lift in my first ever maxing out. While still a newbie, my progress sure feels amazing to me. In addition to all the regular good stuff going on at EB, their care and diligence during Covid allows me to feel safe attending independent training. Given the limited number of places I can actually interact with real-live-people right now, the active participation the EB folks have with Fraser Health and their care in keeping the gym open (and constantly disinfected!) are hugely appreciated. I can't say enough good things about EB. :)
Thanks Morain! We are excited for you and the many more milestones we know you will achieve!
Expérience fantastique: EB has a focus on quality of movement - the coaches have a wide range of experience and are continually offering guidance on technique and progressions to ensure you are getting the most out of your time at the gym. Sessions are with a small group of motivated participants that makes going to the gym an enjoyable item in my calendar. The program varies daily, weekly, seasonally - keeping things interesting. I have been successful with my goals of improving movement. My shoulders and neck have improved such that I no longer have issues in undertaking other aspects of my lifestyle and pursuing my interests. A positive experience and integral part of my life activities.
Thank you for your review!
Expérience fantastique: **NOTE If you're concerned about Covid-19, see the bottom paragraph Joining Engineered Bodies two years ago was a huge milestone in my personal fitness journey. I was looking to get more serious about my training and man did they deliver. The calibre of coaching, all the way from the owners Anthony and Sam to every single coach they've brought on board is top notch. Each coach has their own specialty and approach: mobility / acrobatics / functional fitness / weightlifting. I've never felt healthier and stronger in my life than I do now, and its 100% thanks to EB. When I joined I suspected I would see the expertise and training I mentioned, what I did not expect was what a wonderful community they've cultivated. For a gym of such high performers, there is no ego in the room. Everyone laughs and encourages each other and truly cares about whats going on in each other's lives. Often the owners Anthony and Sam are working out alongside us when they're not coaching, and yet they still take the time to give tips, make adjustments, and just check in on how you're doing. Since I'm writing this review during a pandemic, I think its important to note how well the safety of our little community has been cared for during this time. The entire gym was re-configured so everyone could do their workouts while safely distanced at their own separate stations. Everyone is very diligent about wearing masks and sanitizing their equipment. I can't say enough how much this speaks to Anthony and Sam's commitment to the well being of their clients, both in keeping us safe while also ensuring we're able to keep our bodies healthy and moving during such a high stress phase in life.
Thank you so much for your support, Brendan! We are glad you are a part of our community, and we look forward to seeing more of your progress in the future.
Expérience fantastique: I joined engineered bodies in the summer at the recommendation of my significant other. I was an avid runner and played many sports, but I didn’t have a lot experience in strength training, which is something I had wanted to work on for years. The coaches there are extremely knowledgeable, supportive, and help to modify exercises making functional fitness classes accommodating for every level of fitness. Prior to starting any training classes, the owner, Anthony, does a very thorough assessment to help new members identify any limitations in mobility and provides exercises so that individuals can ensure they are training safely and reducing their risk of injury when they join classes. In this session, I realized I had poor hip mobility due to previous sports related injuries, making it quite difficult to squat. Both coach Anthony and coach Jure were a tremendous help in modifying workouts and providing additional exercises which helped to improve my hip mobility and strength. Overall this gym has a great community atmosphere, and the staff have done an excellent job to ensure all members feel safe during this difficult pandemic. You can tell the coaches really love what they do and care about the wellbeing of the members of this gym!
Thank you Ashley! We are looking forward to seeing you achieve more of your goals.
Expérience fantastique: Following the closure of my gym in 2018, I was looking for another community to join, not just a gym. I wanted a small, "family" run (not chain) gym with a group class setting where I could improve my strength, keep up my cardio and have fun. While researching online, Engineered Bodies Strength & Conditioning jumped to the top of my list because they provided everything I was looking for AND they focused on education and moving your body correctly, not just on how much you could lift or fast you could move. I really appreciated the time that Anthony and his team of coaches took to teach me the correct movements in order to minimize the chance of injury and maximize my strength and abilities. All of the coaches at EBSC are experienced, engaging, knowledgeable and extremely supportive. EBSC cultivates a culture of inclusiveness and encouragement and this is not only felt through the coaches, but also within the community you are working out with. What I appreciate most about the coaches at EBSC is that they use supportive methods to push me beyond what I believe my capabilities are and as a result, I always end up happier than I thought I would be with my progress! During the COVID-19 pandemic, Anthony & Sam went above and beyond to ensure lots of good communication with their clients. They pivoted the delivery of their services to an online platform quickly and seamlessly, including the lending of equipment to their clients for at home workouts. They have done an incredible job of being proactive and responsive to each of the COVID health orders, always ensuring that the rules are approved by the right authorities before inviting their clients back into the gym and then that they are enforced by their coaches. I have always felt very safe attending classes at EBSC since the pandemic hit. Oh, and not only do Anthony & Sam provide transformative fitness training for adults, they also engage with youth by offering a specific youth weightlifting program and training junior athletes. They consistently give back to their community by hosting fitness related fundraising events in support of local causes and have created a foundation to benefit Black and Indigenous individuals pursuing post-secondary education in the fields of law or social work, with the goal of amplifying Black and Indigenous representation, perspectives, and voices as they pursue social justice and equality in our society. If you're looking for a new fitness community where you can meet your goals, no matter what they are, I highly recommend Engineered Bodies Strength & Conditioning!
Wow Juli, thank you so much! We love having you and Ama as part of our community and look forward to seeing what you can achieve next!
Expérience fantastique: Wow! I joined the gym 6 years ago when I retired; what a journey. One of the best moves I've ever made. I had never done any weight training before and I knew it would be a little scary. I wanted the community experience and not knowing what the workout would be that day. You will start out getting assessed before you even start a class. My body was bit of a train wreck and it’s taken a while to improve my physical condition. They helped me get more mobility and work through past injuries. The programming is such that it works all parts of your body. It was a little overwhelming, scary, and intimidating at the start but the coaches and other gym members are a great support. The coaching staff really knows their stuff. Other gyms I've been to since joining, (on vacation) are much less focused about what you do - hence injures and not getting the most out of the workout. Starting at 65 years old was a little terrifying, but even the young people accept me as part of the group. They have Cross Fit, Olympic weight lifting, Power lifting and Mobility classes available along with independent training if you wish. I have used the Cross fit training most of the time. Engineered Bodies rebranded Cross Fit as Functional Fitness but the workouts remain the same. If you’re looking for the best place to get fit and make some friends, this is the place to go. I love it and consider it the best part of my day.
Thank you Keith! We look forward to seeing you every day and can't wait to see what things you accomplish next.
Expérience fantastique: I have decide to come after a referral from a friend, and end up joining with two more friends hahaha The coaches are the type of combination that is hard to find: strict, technical but also very friendly and committed to the class members. They have a different types of programs and schedules to book, I go most of the time for the Functional Fitness. The members and community with more experience and time cheer you up and make the class a good experience. I've come from more than one discipline and at the end I was just doing running, after a month of attending to the classes I felt a huge difference from my strength and knowledge of my lack of mobility and how to improve it. I totally recommend this group and his philosophy about becoming strong. This place also take practices and clean habits if you're worried about the COVID rules and precautions, making you feel comfortable and safe.
Thanks Mario! We are happy you see progress and we know you are going to get stronger!
Expérience fantastique: I joined the engineered bodies Junior Strength and conditioning class to get stronger and more athletic for volleyball, within my first month I started to notice my form and weights go up, overtime I was trying new things not knowing I’d be able to do it and it was way easier than the start! Every single one of the coaches that are there are ready to help you and will give you the little tips and tricks no one else will. The community is also very friendly, you get to know people just by having a class the time after theirs:). Overall, I’m 10/10 satisfied 5 months in. Especially with the way they handle COVID-19 and the proper disinfecting and social distancing in the gym. Thanks EB!
Thanks Michael! We are happy to have you in our community :)
Expérience fantastique: I first joined engineered bodies a little over 3 months ago, I joined because I wanted to become stronger and elevate my volleyball game off of the court. The program was recommended to me by a friend who had been in the program for over a year, and he was raving about the results he was seeing. The coaching staff is welcoming, encouraging and positive no matter what level of fitness you’re at. For me, it was intimidating at first, but the coaching staff and the other people in my Junior Strength and Conditioning program encouraged me and pushed me to succeed. I pushed myself every session to higher numbers and I am loving how much stronger I have become. The coaches are very knowledgeable, and take lots of time to answer questions and help you learn the movements safety and effectively. I love how the the coaches and other people in the programs are just as happy to see you succeed as you are for yourself. I would 100% recommend engineered bodies to you if you were looking for an amazing place to start or elevate your fitness journey.
Thank you Cassidy! Your hard work will continue to pay off and we look forward to seeing many more PRs.
Expérience fantastique: I first heard of engineered bodies through a friend and thought it would a good idea for me to do since I play club volleyball and wanted to get stronger for the sport. I joined a few months ago and I am very happy with this program. Over time I started to see myself getting stronger and stronger! The coaches are very encouraging and always push you to do your best. Everyone here is also very friendly which makes it a comfortable space to work out in. I am also happy with how they handles the COVID-19 situation. When we enter the area we must wash our hands right away and each of the workout stations are also socially distanced. On top of that the equipment is disinfected after use. I would definitely recommend engineered bodies to my friends and family :)
Thanks Rizel! We can see you getting stronger already.
Expérience fantastique: All I can say is that, this place is much more than a gym to me and it became my second home. I have been doing weightlifting in Iran and decided to move back to Canada a year ago and joined this amazing place in January 2020 and started weightlifting classes with Coach Anthony. Since then I am amazed how much I've improved and everyday I am getting closer to my goals and dreams. Coach Anthony is such a kind and caring coach. He thought me not only how to be strong physically but also mentally. I have learned so many things to make my mind and body strong at the same time, never give up, and fight for my dreams and goals. For so long I was actually looking for someone who cares about his trainees and knows how to treat and teach his athletes. By now almost my whole family train in this gym and they love it, even my 11 Year old Nephew just joined the youth weightlifting class and he loves it so much. I love how this gym has such a great, warm environment and community and also all the coaches are so knowledgable and well experienced. I suggest every single person to join this amazing community and see how it will effect their day to day life physically and mentally. It worth 100% of my time and money.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We are happy that you found us and are so glad you are a part of our gym family!
Expérience fantastique: I had been wanting to learn more about Olympic weightlifting as it is a very technical skill. I actually did my research and looked into different gyms and just couldn't find any thing that offered as much as Engineered Bodies did. Their coaches are very knowledgeable and well rounded in different things! They have functional training, powerlifting, weightlifting and handstand classes. Even during the start of COVID, they constantly followed up on me to make sure I'm doing fine, and encouraged me to come to training when it was safe to do so. They even had online classes set up when everything was closed and lent us some equipment so we can do training at home. They continue to have protocols in place to ensure that the risk of COVID transmission is minimized (separate stations, less people, sanitized equipment, reminders to hand wash). I live in Surrey, and it takes me at least 30-40 mins to get to the gym, but because of how great the coaches are, and the variety of classes they offer, I drive all the way to Port Moody! The people who take classes here are also very welcoming and friendly as well.
We are so happy you found us Felice! Thank you for being awesome!
Expérience fantastique: I joined here just short of a year ago and I really enjoy it here! I participate in functional fitness and weightlifting classes but they also offer other types of training if you want to focus on other things. All of the coaches are really knowledgeable, experienced and will encourage you without pushing you to potentially injure yourself. I really like that they focus on technique and doing things right and the programs are created in that manner too. I've been able to get strong in ways I never thought I could, and it's because of training here regularly. Because it's a smaller community, it's also easier to get more coaching even in a class, which is more difficult in a larger gym. Even more, they have been really attentive to COVID-19 precautions and social justice matters!
Has it really been a year?! We can't wait to see what you accomplish in your training in the next year!
Expérience fantastique: I have been weightlifting at EB for a little over a year now – that fact alone makes it better than any other gym I have joined. I actually look forward to working out here. Membership includes programming which will keep you on track towards your goals, and is varied enough to not get stale. The coaches are great, the community is friendly, and equipment is well kept and plenty. A membership here will also support the wonderful owners, Anthony and Samantha. These two are stand-up people, who are willing to go the extra mile for their community and members. When the gym was forced to close during COVID, they allowed members to take equipment home so that we could continue training, and continued coaching via ZOOM. When a youth member had her bike was stolen, they held a fundraiser to get a replacement. They host and help organize multiple charity events throughout the year. We are lucky to have them around.
Thank you Charles! We are looking forward to seeing you compete again and achieve your goals once we can get back to comps again.
Expérience fantastique: They are really good team and professional coaches. They care about you a lot and that’s motivate me so much. This place is more than just gym feels like home to me and they are my second family. I recommend to my friends to go there for professional training with best coaches ever see and great progress in every single session. This is my colorful gym. The place that i can go and do my workout with lovely atmosphere and safely mind. And i join to handstands class too that is more mobility and more concentrate to my mind and body at the same time. Even sometimes we are planing to go outside and have fun together with engineered bodies team, that makes me feel so good that im not alone in this city because im new immigrant to canada. And this gym helps me alot about fitness, friends and everything specially on quarantine time that we workout daily at home with zoom. And one things that i really needed is confidence about my body that i have after doing cross-fit at engineered bodies. Thanks a lot to my best coaches.
Thank you Ghazal! We are excited to see your progress :)
Expérience fantastique: This place is much more than a gym. It's a combination of community, family and friends. My journey started with Coach Anthony and the weightlifting class. I never though I would compete in a 3 competitions, 1 of them being provincial! After my last competition I wanted to focus more on my personal health and started independent training with coach Juri. I focused on diet and putting on some muscle. With the help of the community and coaches I've been able to go above and beyond with my goals. The combination of well rounded, knowledgeable and experienced coaches makes this gym versatile for any type of goals you give yourself. 100% worth my time and money.
Thank you Arman. We are looking forward to seeing what you achieve next!
Expérience fantastique: Simply an amazing community! I was welcomed into the Engineered Bodies family back in 2017, joining the daily Weightlifting classes. Shout out to Anthony Agtarap! I knew nothing about Olympic lifting techniques and the level of dedication and detail Anthony's coaching provided me will never be matched! Transitioning into Functional Fitness classes in 2019, I again was met with the same attention to detail with all the coaches. The staff at Engineered Bodies defiantly knows their stuff! No matter the fitness level they'll find the right movement / scaled version that's best and safe for their clients. Members and coaches, everyone wants to see you succeed, they celebrate your PR's and will encourage you to go again during all the failed attempts. Thank you Sam and Anthony and to all the coaches at EB (insert heart emoji)
Thanks Tamara! We are so happy you listened to your sister and joined us ;) We are looking forward to celebrating more of your wins!
Expérience fantastique: After leaving competitive sports due to injury, I spent several years training on my own but became bored quickly of programming a routine on my own & working out at a commercial gym. I spent some time researching different gyms, and having seen friends post in the past about Engineered Bodies, I added them to my list of places to check out. I did a few consultations at local gyms, but when I met with Anthony, he thoroughly explained their approach, did a mobility assessment, and gave me a plan on how to get ready to participate in their program by providing mobility exercises to work on any problem areas I had. Having spent years in sport specific training, I knew how important this was, and knew this was the right place for me. I had been going to physio for years to help with knee, shoulder, and hip injuries, and had fully expected them to be something I had to live with. After a few months of following Anthony's recommendations, and a lot of work with Coach Jure & Coach Sean, I was completely pain free for the first time since I was in College. I've since been able to get back to a level of training that I didn't think would be possible. From Coaches taking the time during class to help you one on one, to receiving texts checking in on you when you've been attending less than usual, it's clear the coaches sincerely care about you, and your progress. The programming never gets boring, and I've had the chance to explore exercises & styles of training that I never would have found on my own. The community itself is second to none, and I'd be hard pressed to find a gym with more qualified, caring, and motivated Coaches. Jake Healey
Thanks Jake! We are so glad you found us. Thanks for being an awesome part of our community!
Expérience fantastique: I was introduced to Engineered Bodies through a family member in the Summer of 2017, and have been a happy member ever since! My favourite thing about the coaches and staff is that they are always looking to learn new ways to challenge their clients, and have the knowledge to safely and effectively do so. It’s not just about the workouts, but the overall wellness one gains when choosing to take time for oneself and work on their skills! I have struggled with depression and other mental challenges since my early 20’s. I can confidently say being introduced to Engineered Bodies has given me many of the tools I need to better cope, giving me an amazingly supportive community to be a part of :) Literally 10/10 would recommend. Join for the gains, stay for the gains in your body AND heart AND soul! ;)
Time flies when you are having fun! Looking forward to more comps with you!
Expérience fantastique: When I moved to Port Moody from Vancouver I was looking for a gym that was different than the typical Good Life or Steve Nash. I have been working out in various commercial gyms for the past 15 years and was looking for a new challenge. Instead of just trying to sell you a gym membership with a special promotion or seasonal sale, Engineered bodies goes so much farther. They first start with assessing your current physical well being and create a plan to help you achieve your gaols. Having played various competitive spots in my past, I did have some basic knowledge of working out. However the functional fitness that Engineered Bodies brings to the table is just a whole new level. The coaches are top tier with an amazing wealth of knowledge and professionalism. So whether you have 20+ years or 2+ months, they are able to cater to your current needs to help you achieve your goals. I would highly recommend Engineered Bodies if you are looking to make a positive change in your mobility, strength, fitness level, and have a team to help you stay and keep motivated. **Also as an added benefit during these Covid times, they have individual workout areas with your own weights and equipment with all of the sanitization protocols you would expect in between classes.
Thanks Andrew! We are grateful that you found us!
Expérience fantastique: A friendly Crossfit charity competition "Ruben's Throwdown" sponsored by EB was the reason why I joined. Originally I thought it would be a simple sign up and compete event. Was I wrong...Crossfit is a strength and conditioning workout made up of functional movements performed at a high intensity level. Anthony was able to go through movement fundamentals (1 week) with me to make sure that I was able to do each move with proper form and analyzed my mobility before attending a class. I was surprised that I wasn't doing a push-up or squat correctly after many years of exercising. The themes I have witnessed at Engineer Bodies are positive attitudes and results. The coaches have a diverse background, are knowledgeable and innovative. The facility is also continually upgrading different equipment and technology (LOVE Train Heroic App). During COVID, they handled client safety with care and were always 2 steps ahead. They were able to pivot quickly and get ZOOM classes up and running along with allowing members to bring home equipment to keep up with their training. Now with re-opening, there are new protocols that are in place with easy to follow instructions. Weekly updates, ZOOM classes, coaches following up with us regularly, FB competitions and virtual socials has allowed us to stay on track with our fitness targets and also connected during this lockdown. Being cared for this way has allowed members (we are like family) at EB to stay healthy physically, emotionally and mentally. If you are looking for a gym with an amazing team and proven results give Sam and Anthony a call today. EB is not an ordinary gym. If you don't have a fitness goal, they will help you realize one and nurture your growth. It's a community and everyone supports each other, doesn't matter if you are a beginner or an elite athlete. The coaches will customize a program that's right for you. This is an incredible Crossfit gym that I can't speak more highly of. I look forward to meeting you.....see you there!
Thank you so much Celia. We are so grateful to have you as part of our family!
Expérience fantastique: A great gym, with an emphasis on community building. The trainers do a great job of working their clients hard, but also focusing on technique to keep everyone safe. I've worked with Anthony for the last 6 years, with personal training, and he's pushed me to reach my goals, and become a better, healthier athlete. I would recommend Engineered Bodies to anyone who's looking to get fitter, healthier, or just looking for a fun community.
Thank you Ben!
Expérience fantastique: For about a year I was working out at home under a self directed program. During this time I saw 2 friends of mine training under Anthony's direction. When I finally got tired of seeing little progress I decided to give Anthony a call at Engineered Bodies. My friends gave him rave reviews! I started a personal training program that focussed on my goals and I have not looked back. I have been very impressed with all of the coaches at EB. Their direction and focus on technique is above any other gym I have been to. Engineered Bodies also offers very in depth gymnastic coaching such as a handstand class. I have not seen this anywhere else. Half way through my personal training sessions COVID 19 protocols came into affect and we moved o virtual coaching sessions. I was skeptical at first but Anthony's professionalism and ability to adapt allowed us to have awesome training sessions over Zoom. EB now offers many high quality online programs. This includes kids classes. I have recommended Engineered Bodies to all of my friends and family already. Awesome community and awesome results!
Thanks Sean! It’s been great to see your hard work pay off!
Expérience fantastique: I have been doing personal training sessions with Engineered Bodies for just over 3months now. I am seeing my weightlifting technique improve and my overall strength has increased so much. I was and still am impressed by the highly qualified coaches. Throughout this pandemic they have provided the same encouragement and worked their best to get the technical coaching in virtually. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Thank you Engineered Bodies for being intentional and committing to my fitness journey.
Thank you Mikaela! We look forward to seeing you in person again soon.
Expérience fantastique: Anthony and the Engineered Bodies team are some of the most passionate driven and talented people I have ever had the opportunity to work with! There is no one I trust more when it comes to how to achieve my specific fitness goals than anthoney! Why? Because he is constantly learning from top industry professionals, taking in what is useful and shelving the rest. He trains as hard or harder than anyone who walks through the door! He treats every client the same weather your new or an original member. No person will feel out of place at Engineered Bodies. Everyone person there genuinely cares about you and your goals! Anthony is a great person, strength coach and friend! Andrew Rasmussen
Thanks Andrew! We appreciate your trust and will see you soon.
Expérience fantastique: When I first started looking for a CrossFit gym in the area I knew that I wanted to do my research and find the right fit. Over 2 years later, I'm sure happy I found this gym and this community. What keeps me coming back is that I am challenged at every workout to be better- but never at the expense of technique! If you are looking to get stronger and build resilience while having fun and learning about your body - this is your gym! I'm not going anywhere, anytime soon.
Thanks, Leah! We are so happy you are part of our community.
Expérience fantastique: TL;DR: Great all-level weightlifting course (especially for newbies), warm and welcoming community, highly experienced/passionate coaches, all the equipment you need, + great price. Join! DETAILED REVIEW: At the end of 2019, a lot of things in my life blew up and drove me into a really rough patch both physically and mentally. To combat some of the declines in my physical health, I decided to take up weightlifting. I'd been to commercial gyms before and had done typical dumbell exercises etc. but barbells intimidated me and the squat rack section of gyms even moreso. After scouring several crossfit gyms and locations in the tricity area and countless trial classes, I had my first consultation with Anthony at EB. When I finished my first class, I knew that it was exactly what I'd been looking for, for a great price! WEIGHTLIFTING CLASS EXPERIENCE: Anthony (the owner) runs the weightlifting-only course there with people of all levels of experience in a single class who were incredibly warm and welcoming. It's an ego-free environment and everyone was always happy to help out newbies like me. Anthony is a highly experienced, certified and technical coach who gave me an incredible introduction to the world of oly lifting because of how excited HE got over everything. His passion is infectious. For the first few classes he coached me one-on-one to help establish some of the basic movements for snatching and clean and jerking, then as I got more comfortable, he gave me the space and time to work on the things I'd learned and hone them while also providing A1 coaching in a group class. He was encouraging when I felt silly or my muscles were too weak to even perform full sets, and had confidence in me when I didn't have any in myself. He held me accountable when I missed several classes in a row and checked in on me - which is above and beyond what I would've expected for in a group class setting. However, in addition to the improvements I saw physically and technically, I also realized that in my really rough patch, EB became sanative for me when I'd haul my butt there despite feeling miserable, only to walk out less miserable. Coming in to focus on learning something new, and socializing with the warm, grounded and positive community that Anthony and Sam (who also runs EB) created, is something I'm really grateful for.
Thank you!
Expérience fantastique: I've spent a lot of time at different gyms and with different coaches and trainers. Anthony, Sean, Lance, Juri are all top notch coaches that go well beyond your average coach or your average cross fit coach. Form and technique are stressed above everything else. My mobility has had huge improvements but still a long way to go. I love the member group as well, so tight knit and welcoming.
Thanks for your review, Justin. We look forward to seeing more of your progress in the future!
Expérience fantastique: Being in top physical condition is a base expectation for my work as a referee in the Western Hockey League. After leaving another gym, I was on the search for a highly certified, professional trainer who showed both the positive attitude and expertise in the field that would help me meet my fitness goals. I met Anthony; a terrific coach who takes his role as a leader in the community seriously. Not only has he significantly improved my fitness -- which has allowed me to perform at much higher levels during my fitness testing -- but I have personally witnessed him care for the growth and development of every other client that walks through the gym doors. He is extremely hardworking and this attitude brushes off on the entire Engineered Bodies community. Listening to the expertise of Anthony and the other staff has allowed me to become more flexible, as well as reach better end-range strength and mobility. This has had the great effect of vastly improving my recovery in between hockey games. It is no surprise that the client retention at Engineered Bodies is so high; it's a terrific training environment, a strong and diverse community of gym-goers, and is bolstered by an excellent team of trainers. I am beyond satisfied with my decision to start personal training there, and I would give my full recommendation of Engineered Bodies to anyone who is serious about reaching their fitness goals.
Thanks Trevor. We appreciate your kind words, and we are glad to have you as a part of our community!
Expérience fantastique: Before starting my journey at Engineered Bodies I had the common misconception that Crossfit is dangerous and could wreck your body. This was the furthest thing from the truth because the coaches here take their time and prioritize technique at all times. The coaches and community is wonderful and inclusive. 10/10 would 100% recommend!
Thank you Eric!
Expérience fantastique: This place is perfect to work out and make friends! I used to do Crossfit in other place, but this is the best ever. And especially I like the way Anthony teaches. He is an incredible coach. They have Movement class as well. So i usually take the class after Crossfit. It's really helpful. I'm so glad i found this nice place in Port Moody. You should come and take only class, then you will find what is the difference between other gyms.
Thank you
Expérience fantastique: Back in December of 2018 I was overweight, drumming 5 days a week in constant pain, I was working out by myself at home but I knew that It wasn’t enough, hence my constant pain. I would get off the drum kit and both of my knees would be beet red, my low back would crack and I’d have sometimes unbearable sciatic pain. Did I mention I’m only 26? It was at this point that I knew I needed to make a huge change in my life. I wasn’t concerned about saving money anymore, I was concerned about my health and not being able to do what I love (play music). So... I decided to google “physiotherapy gym” in hopes that I would find a gym that could potentially diagnose some of my ailments and come up with a plan for me to get better. I was sick of going to cheap gyms, I was sick of having to create my own workout regimen when I knew I needed more than to just bicep curl.... I needed to get better. The saying “you get what you pay for” is so true, and so even though the 250$ a month seemed steep, I knew that this Engineered Bodies was worth a try. And boy am I glad I tried, this gym and the beautiful people that run it have literally changed my life! I’ve gone from being in pain all of the time to virtually pain free, and in what? Half a year? The coaches are beyond knowledgeable but what matters most to me is how much they truly care about their clients and seeing them succeed! I can’t stress how many times I’ve received texts from my coaches to come to classes when I wasn’t planning on it. You’re never going to get that from anywhere else, this is literally the best gym out there and I would travel whatever distance to forever be a member. I know I’ve constantly referred to the amazing people that run this gym as my coaches, but they are so much more than that, they are my friends. I’ve met so many amazing people, this isn’t just a gym, this is a community! All the friends I’ve made, all the “that’s what she said” jokes that were probably inappropriate at times yet still laughed at, that’s what it’s all about. And I guess the gains are pretty good too! You must check this place out! Come on! It’s not hard! Just come! THATS WHAT SHE SAID
Thank you Michael! We are so glad that you found us and are a part of our community! See you in class!
Expérience fantastique: Engineered Bodies checked all the boxes for what I was looking for in a gym. The philosophy of movement and focus on technique is exactly what is was looking for to build a good foundation to prevent injuries. They have built a strong welcoming community that is very positive and are always looking to grow in the right direction. High recommended!
Thanks Norm!
Expérience fantastique: Before joining EB I never considered CrossFit. I was Intimidated by it thinking it was a place for strong and fit athletes only. I am so glad I gave It a chance! Individuals of any strengths and abilities are welcome to EB and coaches are patient and knowledgeable and will help you reach your goals whatever they might be. Combination of various classes (strength training, kin stretch, movement) helped me not only become stronger and more confident that but also improve my joint mobility. I also appreciate strong sense of community EB created. I would recommend this place to anyone: whether you are an athlete looking to train for a competition or just starting up in your adventure to stronger heathier self.
Now you are that strong athlete. You make the gym a happier place, Elena!
Expérience fantastique: Engineered Bodies has been an amazing gym with terrific and caring coaches, as well as a warm and welcoming community. I was looking to get back into CrossFit, after having been away for a few years due to injuries. I wanted an environment where I could both learn proper technique and challenge myself. EB was the perfect place for this. I enjoy ever session at this gym, and look forward to it daily.
Thank you Sarah!
Expérience fantastique: I decided to join Engineered Bodies because I really wanted to get back in shape and found that I lacked motivation and struggled to push myself when I worked out alone. I looked at a few crossfit gyms in the tri-cities area online and went to a few gyms in person to get a feel for what they were all about. I was really impressed with the small class sizes, emphasis on technique and coaching at engineered bodies so I decided to join! Furthermore, I was a little hesitant being new to crossfit and the gym but the people are what made my experience so great. The members at Engineered Bodies are fantastic! This gym has members both men and women who range from 19-70 who are committed to improving their physical fitness. So don’t worry you don’t have to be a pro athlete to work out here! Lastly, Anthony and his team make you feel welcomed and are constantly cheering you on and motivating you to be better every class!
Thanks Stuart!
Expérience fantastique: As a high school volleyball athlete, I knew that I needed to incorporate strength training in order to take my game to the next level. I was looking to gain more muscle mass, become stronger, more explosive with a higher vertical jump, and more mobile. This place was perfect for that as I could tailor my training specifically to my goals. 4 months into my training, I gained 13 pounds of muscle, went from skimming a basketball rim to hanging on to one gaining 3 inches of vertical jump, learned new weightlifting techniques with proper form so I don’t get injured, and most importantly learned how to take care of my joints which now allows me to last longer and stay healthier in tournaments. Every coach at engineered bodies have provided an incredible environment for everyone to grow in all areas, the student discount is a huge help and I’m glad I chose this place to take my game to the next level.
Thank you!
Expérience fantastique: I have been training at Engineered Bodies for 7 months now and competed in my first CrossFit competition yesterday. I had always thought about joining a CrossFit gym but could never bite the bullet. I am so glad that I finally did with EB as the people here are welcoming and immediately welcome you into the community. I have never felt so strong both in strength and cardio which has helped in other areas of my life. Anthony and the coaching team are very knowledgeable and take each person's development and progress into consideration in meeting your personal goals. You can feel confident in knowing that you are learning quality movements at the highest standards.
Expérience fantastique: If you are wondering if Engineered Bodies is right for you, it is. I came looking for a CrossFit gym and found a community, a place to better myself. Anthony and his coaches are so well educated in not only CrossFit, weightlifting, gymnastics, but in proper human movement. They care. They choose progressions that will help make you stronger and achieve your goals while preventing injury and improving mobility. They are all so supportive and welcoming, and once you walk through those doors you won’t want to leave. I have come farther in the past few months then I had in two years of CrossFit previously. Go in and say hi, you won’t regret it!
Expérience fantastique: I just finished my second weightlifting competition under the training from Anthony at Engineered Bodies. The gym and community is a great place to learn and get strong! Everyone, be it the other members or the knowledgeable coaches, are dedicated to improving your health and strength in a friendly and driven environment. UPDATE - 2022 I've been with the gym close to 5 years now and things are better than ever. They've managed COVID excellently over the past 2 years and have been a total life saver. In addition to an awesome weightlifting community, I've also expanded to custom programming for both me and my mother which had excellent results!
Thanks Gary. Happy to have you with us!
Expérience fantastique: I started at EB after I had just gone through a few major changes in my life. I was welcomed into the EB community with the most kindness I have experienced at any gym or CrossFit box. Many of the people I met during my first classes at EB have become great friends. Anthony and the other coaches take exceptional care of their clients in a way that goes above and beyond what you would expect from a coach. Anthony is always there for you on good and bad days, pushes you outside of your comfort zone, encourages and supports you, and is always rooting for your success. The focus on movement quality has made me feel safe while working out and contributed to my complete trust in the EB programming. I have never been stronger and feel really lucky to be a part of this community!
Expérience fantastique: I am very grateful to Anthony and the coaching staff at Engineered Bodies, who helped me get started on a movement journey that I never thought would happen. The knowledge and experience of the team is evident, and the gym community is welcoming. To my knowledge, their mobility and kinstretch classes are unique in region, and their approach of prioritizing quality of movement enhances their CrossFit programming. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone, regardless of where they're at in their fitness journey.
