The Bar Athletic Club

Expérience négative: Came to the Tuesday run at Bar Athletic club at 7:31 pm (one minute late). But doors were locked, complete dark inside (supposed to be open until 8:30 tuesdays). No notice, no update on the event. So I don't know what happened, but I'm disappointed and misled that a run was happening today.

Expérience fantastique: My son is absolutely thrilled with the classes, and we couldn't be happier! The guidance he's receiving is excellent, and he’s learned so much about how to work out safely in the gym while improving his overall health. We’re very grateful for the positive impact this has had on him. Thank you so much!

Expérience fantastique: 10/10 would recommend considering The Bar Athletic Club if you are looking for a fun, positive and comfortable environment to workout in and grow in your gym skills. I've noticed a huge difference in just one month and I know you will too!

Expérience fantastique: I’ve tried a lot of fitness classes over the years and this by far has been the best experience consistently. Very friendly environment + coaches + people in attendance, super beginner friendly too (which is great bc I’ve been to places that just made me feel stupid for being there and that’s so intimidating to come back to) Tons of 1on1 help if I’m stuck, confused or not sure how to do it. Smaller classes too so your not side by side squished in there. 10000% worth it and would absolutely recommend

Expérience fantastique: A great place to begin your workout journey. Shawn is amazing and very knowledgeable. Highly recommended.

Expérience fantastique: Loved coming here! Unfortunately I can no longer go due to moving overseas, however I’d highly recommend this place to anyone looking to get fit and have some guidance. Very supportive place, both Shawn and the other members, which was perfect for someone like me who’s always been a bit intimidated by the gym! Sessions are a great workout and varied according to upper/lower body, cardio etc. I really noticed a difference in my ability, strength and confidence after coming here regularly. Thank you so much Shawn!

Expérience fantastique: Shawn and the team have created a space where you want to show up every day! From their programming to coaching and their awesome space/staff, Bar Athletics is a place where you can truly become the strongest version of yourself. You guys rock!

Expérience fantastique: Came to a free class with my partner. Everyone is really friendly and supportive here, as someone who’s been away from gyms for many years now it was nice to have guidance and a really efficient structure. Thank you, I will be back!

Expérience fantastique: Great facility and awesome classes. Love the atmosphere and they definitely know what they are doing.

Expérience fantastique: I enjoyed my first class in here.Shawn and his Team guided me very well ..I finally found the place that I was looking for

Expérience fantastique: I love the size and pace of the classes, as well as the time availability. The trainers are very knowledgeable and can help with modifications due to injuries etc. The members are also very helpful and friendly. 10/10 would recommend.

Expérience fantastique: I enjoyed my first session at this gym. I really like the instructor led format and Shawn helped adapt the workout for my first time back in a gym in awhile!

Expérience fantastique: I have known sean for a few years now and he has always been VERY helpful especially when it comes to building my strength in areas that I have had injuries and regaining my flexibility. One of the reasons why I go to The Bar Athletics. not to mention ... Im a huge fan of doing work outs where it is written for me and I show up do the workout, get my fit on and then go home. Efficiency

Expérience fantastique: Great gym I’ve been looking for a gym that helps me with my athletic conditioning/strength and I finally found it. I’m a US college athlete and I never found something as good as this place. Wish Bar Athletics was down there!

Expérience fantastique: We started working out again and were happy to find this welcoming place. They are teaching us to learn the movements before adding heavier weights. We are enjoying it! My muscles Thank you!

Expérience fantastique: This is an amazing gym, super clean and very friendly. The trainers are all so wonderful, helpful and knowledgeable. Going to a new gym may be intimidating for some, but this gym felt like home right away.

Expérience fantastique: They are serious. They beat not your body, but your soul also. Shawn will definitely put you in the shape if you commit. Quicker than you can imagine. Great friendship atmosphere btw.

Expérience fantastique: The Bar athletics is a clean, welcoming gym with a great vibe and knowledgeable trainers to help correct your form. I have many injuries and they have given me the confidence I need to gain strength and build muscle the right way. I am so grateful to be a part of this gym.  Thanks guys!!

Expérience fantastique: I’ve been to only four classes and I love it! No BS, no fluff, just hard work with the right direction. I’m sore in all the right places and I know the results are showing up! Thanks everyone.

Expérience fantastique: This is the most amazing gym! The people, the owner, the trainers everyone is amazing and not to mention the training and programs! You can tell it has been designed by a professional, who loves what he does and knows very well what he’s doing! They’re patient with every client and the trainers takes their time to explain every little single detail. I 1000% recommended Bar Athletics ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Expérience fantastique: Just started my journey with Bar two weeks ago, the trainers are fantastic, making sure my aches and pains are in check and watching I don’t over extend myself or use incorrect form that would make things worse! Results are already starting to come, more energy and flexibility…. Thanks to the team at Bar!

Expérience fantastique: Effective and supportive approach to physical health. Shawn ensures that I receive guidance and helpful techniques to help me achieve my workout goals .

Expérience fantastique: Shaun is the best worst coach you will find

Expérience fantastique: Shawn is the best in the industry, he cares about his clients/members and delivers top notch training to all. If you really want to ramp up your fitness either beginner or elite athlete...or anything between I recommend Shawn & his team at Strength Camp

Expérience fantastique: This gym is so awesome !! Fell in love with it the first day I went. They work you hard in a class format in small groups each moving through the circuits. Shawn really knows what he is doing and will help fine tune your form and technique. Adam is also very knowledgeable. Great gym - I recommend it to everyone in the Langley area !

Expérience fantastique: Great people, Great atmosphere! perfect for beginners and experienced alike. This is your last stop fitness center.

Expérience fantastique: After finishing college/university sports, I'd taken a few years off weight lifting. Most gyms I'd been to felt overbearing and in your face and after competing for so long, I felt burned out. My partner started training at Strength Camp and was really enjoying it and seeing some great gains in her lifts and how she felt, so she asked me to come out one time. I was hesitant but came for the trial. Now 8 months later...Shawn is great - from the way the program is designed, to how he coaches and gives feedback. I've been able to articulate what I'm hoping to get from the program and he keeps me honest and coaches me towards that. I don't get the same yelling, overbearing / in-your-face "motivational" bs I was getting from other gyms, but instead get honest and pointed feedback on technique. I'm lifting as heavy or heavier on many of my lifts as when I was a full-time athlete, I feel great at my other activities and hobbies, and am experiencing some aesthetic results as well. Shawn knows his stuff, the community and SC team is friendly and fun to see frequently, and I am having fun and enjoying working out again after a few years off. Added bonus - there's often some cute dogs in the gym ALWAYS looking for head pats and belly rubs.

Expérience fantastique: Love the members. Everyone is so nice and supportive. The classes keep me working hard and motivated even on days when I’m not really feeling like it. Shawn is very knowledgeable and helps me with proper form and safety. Love this place

Expérience fantastique: My wife joined this gym about 6 months prior to me joining and I don't know what took me so long to try it. I went and found the gym to have a great atmosphere and a very knowledgeable trainer. Shawn is very good at what he does and he assists you when you are doing things wrong and puts you back on track. The classes are put together to make the novice to advanced leave with a great workout. The gym is very clean and the clients are very nice and open to helping you. I truly do appreciate my wife pushing me to join as it has changed my attitude. It's a great gym!

Expérience fantastique: I love Shawn and the Strength Camp community. I feel very welcomed and comfortable, despite not having a lot of experience with lifting. I enjoy the classes, and I've never burnt so many calories in a workout! I highly recommend Strength Camp for anyone looking for a gym thats inclusive, fun, and a really tough workout!!

Expérience fantastique: I’ve been at this gym a few months now and couldn’t be happier. Shawn is a top notch trainer and incredibly knowledgeable. My body has already changed so much and I have full faith his programming will get me the results I’ve always wanted. If you have an injury he will always give an alternative and explain the why behind it. Facility is really clean and there is plenty of equipment. This gym is for someone who wants to get strong and fit.

Expérience fantastique: Awesome “gym”! My wife has been going here for 2 years and kept bragging about it but I was always too busy or making some other excuse not to go and join. Finally with COVID I found the time and have done a couple days of one on one personal training as well as a few days a week for the group classes. It’s a great atmosphere and everyone is very friendly. Shawn takes the time to walk around and ensure people are doing the proper form and working through the exercises as they should. Best part is that he doesn’t sugar coat if you are slacking off he will call you out…yes some people with take offence to this but that’s their problem not his. You go here because you want the proper support from him and the rest of the clients not a pat on the back for just showing up. Gym is very clean, people keep their distance as needed and guidelines are well layed out. It’s a no brainer….if anyone complained about this place its very obvious they just want to sign in to say they went to the gym not actually get their workout done.

Expérience fantastique: I used to go to yoga program for a couple years which I loved but some days I didn’t feel enough of a work out. A mom from school introduced me to strength camp and Shawn and here we are two years later and loving it. We get a new routine for the month and I just need to show up and listen. Great group of people attending the classes.

Expérience fantastique: Having done crossfit for 5 years, I moved to the area and decided to check out different environments outside of Crossfit itself. I signed up for a 2 week free trial elsewhere, and while it wasn't terrible, it also wasn't great. I had the intention of signing up with that place, but decided to try Strength Camp out first. After the first class, I told Shawn to sign me up. Great programming, great environment, and Shawn is extremely knowledgeable. He corrects your form and makes sure you're doing things correctly to prevent injury. I have some nagging injuries from the past and he gives suggestions on how I should modify a workout to get around the injury. On a more simple level, if I'm feeling tired, lacking energy, having an off day, he understands and doesn't push you when you're body is telling you "no". I highly recommend giving this place a try. You'll be hooked! Thanks Shawn, and thanks Strength Camp!

Expérience fantastique: Shawn is one of the best trainers out there! I thoroughly enjoy coming to strength camp as I feel challenged and pushed to my limits daily. His knowledge and expertise has helped me come along way with weightlifting post injury. Great place! 10/10

Expérience fantastique: I've been a member since the middle of May so I am still fairly new. I was originally a member at a different gym when I tried the free week trial out but on day two of the free week trial I signed up and left my previous gym. Shawn is very knowledgeable, confident and definitely has made me feel comfortable since joining. I love the atmosphere that he has created at strength camp. I highly recommend this gym!!!

Expérience fantastique: I absolutely love this place. I ended my 11 year relationship and decided it was time to make some changes to create a more positive perspective of my life. I found a free 1 week membership on Facebook and decided to give it a try. The workouts were hard but very enjoyable, Shawn has been an awesome teacher who treated me with nothing but respect and the community here is no different, great people all around. I've worked out here for almost a year and have completely transformed my mindset and put on 20lbs of muscle . I will stick around for a long time. Thanks Strength Camp !

Expérience fantastique: Strength Camp is one of the reasons why I cannot move out of Langley. The workouts are as tough as you want it to be - you can lift whatever weight you are comfortable lifting, and at the same time, Shawn (the instructor) will motivate you if he knows you can do more or lift more, which I like because I am lazy. The class sizes are small (max 12 or 15) which I believe is a perfect number so Shawn can zone in on anyone who needs help, motivation, or instruction. I like going to this gym because people are friendly and are there to motivate you and make you accountable (i.e. encourage you to have a constant attendance). Danielle, the other owner who handles the admin side of the business is very nice and accommodating as well. Rates are also cheaper compared to other gyms of this kind, but the quality of training/service is as good if not greater!

Expérience négative: I started doing some personal training with Shawn in April and thought he was a great trainer. Very knowledgeable. So, I was very curious about the classes. Although, I was having surgery and would be out for 6-8 weeks and would have to wait until June. I decided to purchase a groupon which was for unlimited bootcamps. When I arrived on my first day June 17th, I was told that it was only for Wednesday's and Saturday’s, and I would need to pay more money. I did the class and really enjoyed my workout. However, the next morning June 18th I was running behind due to leaving my shoes at home. I sent Shawn a text and asked if I should still come as I was going to be a few minutes late (I didn’t want to interrupt the class, if it had already started) to which he responded yes. When I got there the door was locked. I paused wondering what I should do and then I noticed this other girl walking up to the door to the right. I said to her "oh, do we use that door in the mornings" and the response was "no, I'll let you in that door." Trying to make light conversation, I mentioned why I was late and got no response, she just looked stern and unhappy. The girl unlocked the door for me and let me in. I walked into a full room, I went looking for a sport and could not find one. The instructor Shawn had gone to the front so I went looking for him to ask where I should go. He said laughing "just go find a spot on the turf." Perhaps it was a silly question, but I had no idea what their procedures were. I had no idea at this point what I was doing so I tried to copy all the other members that were in front of me. Shawn eventually spoke up and announced again what the warmup routine was. I spent the entire hour feeling awkward. My issue was the string of text messages I received from Shawn today June 22. He was doing what most businesses would do and checking in with me, but he did not take my criticism too well and was totally rude. He really highlighted why I would not want to be a member at this gym. It is people like him that put off most people that are afraid of gym environments. I have added all the messages to this post as I think people should see for themselves how this company treats people if they do not like what they say. Sure enough, maybe this girl was having a bad day, but this is not the manner in which you respond. Apologizing that I was made to feel that way and that he would speak to the person would have resolved this in a more professional manner, but I guess they don’t do professional.

Expérience fantastique: I’m really impressed with the style of training at this gym. Shawn writes an amazing program that includes both strength and conditioning. Shawn is always adjusting your form to ensure safety and that you are challenged.

Expérience fantastique: I just recently joined and right away I got a good vibe. I knew this was the place for me. Shawn the owner is very smart and knows his stuff. He will bring out the best in you. Everyone is so welcoming and helpful if your stuck doing part of a routine they keeping there distance (covid protocols) will walk you through it. Very clean environment, everything is very well organized. I have nothing but good things to say. I highly recommend you give it a try.

Expérience fantastique: Best place to become a stronger version of yourself.

Expérience fantastique: LOVE this gym! As a former athlete but newbie to weightlifting Shawn has been wonderful with knowledge, technique and has several workout alternatives for injured areas. Enjoying the classes so much have recruited some of my family members to join his classes as well I started one on one training with Shawn. Definitely recommend for anyone both newbies like myself or or fitness fanatics!

Expérience fantastique: This gym has been enjoyable to attend. It is spacious open concept and has followed all Covid Protocols effectively with small class sizes, mandated wearing of masks, ongoing sanitization throughout and social distancing in place. The gym is clean, very organized and well equipped. Shawn has had a long career in this field before opening up this gym and supports you through exercises that he will adapt so that it meets you at your level. He prioritizes your functional movement and form first and then supports you in challenging yourself. Would definitely recommend.

Expérience fantastique: Fantastic ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Expérience fantastique: Great workouts with a experienced coach!

Expérience fantastique: Shawn is very knowledgeable. Go in listen and forget all your previous bad habits!

Expérience fantastique: I cannot say enough about the support of the team of trainers and the genuine feeling of welcome that the members exude. You will never find an experience like this anywhere else. Thank Shawn and JJ for your patience and your help getting me nearer to my goals!!!

Expérience fantastique: Great facility. Great trainers. Great flexibility of classes. Great variety of workouts. I just started and feel so much better physically and mentally and have a more agile body. Shawn is one of the most experienced trainers you will ever find.

Expérience fantastique: This gym is fantastic, the trainers take the time to ensure that you are completing the exercises properly so you can progress on your fitness goals. Class sizes are limited to ensure that trainers can focus on individuals. I always look forward to a new month Which brings challenging new exercises. I also found a great new group of friends. Come try it out you won’t be disappointed!

Expérience fantastique: Ive been going for a couple of months now and Im loving my results. Most of all I enjoy going and look forward to my classes. Ive had personal trainers and gone to other gyms and bootcamps over the years and this one is my favourite! Definitely the best bag for your buck too. The coaches are awesome and very knowledgeable! I love the set up and the way the classes are timed and organized. Highly recommend!

Expérience fantastique: I absolutely love this place and Shawn makes this gym what it is! He’s so dedicated, knowledgeable, and you can see his passion for it. He spots and makes sure that we’re all doing the workout correctly. From the warmup, during the workout and cool down. This is a very well kept gym, very clean and all the equipments are properly arranged and organized. Prices are very good too, especially when compared to other similar facilities. I’d recommend it any day!

Expérience fantastique: At Strength Camp Langley, their commitment to working with each & every individual that walks through the front doors is unsurpassed! The knowledge & expertise that you receive from Shawn, helps everyone to become stronger and train smarter. The Strength Camp program benefits everyone from someone new to the gym or an athlete that wants to take their game to the next level! Reach out to Shawn today and try the program out for a week... you won't be disappointed!!

Expérience fantastique: I have spent the past 2 years training one on one and was nervous about changing gyms. Shawn and Ally and the team at Strength camp have welcomed me and are first rate trainers. They are acutely aware of issues with form, injury etc, and ensure you are looked after while still working hard....awesome classes that will get results. I recommend to anyone as this is the best value in Langley hands down

Expérience fantastique: I have greatly enjoyed the straight forward and honest approach that Strength Camp has utilized in their business model. The coaches are seriously fun and its immediately evident that they do in fact know what they are doing. Feedback to form and technique is given in a friendly tone and understandable language. the class sizes are on the smaller side, which is good for those looking for a group fitness setting but where the coaches can cycle around and provide support. Great price point and highly recommended!

Expérience fantastique: Great trainer! Knows what he is doing!

Expérience fantastique: I highly recommend for you guys to try it. It is a test of stamina, endurance, will power, and commitment. This is one of the hardest workout program that I ever tried, and I like it so much! I see changes in my body and attitude and I see now that as I continue attending the classes it seems like it is more enjoyable and that I can keep up longer and I feel stronger. At first I was shy and hesitant to join or even try Strength Camp as I know I have really fallen into a bad shape and that I do not have the endurance and stamina I had when I was younger (ie when I was a gym rat). But seeing that I need something out of the box, like a boot camp, to whip me back to shape, I hesitantly signed-up for trial sessions. Definitely, it was one of the best decisions I made. Now I can't wait to be in one of the classes and sweat it all out! This is totally a must-try!

Expérience fantastique: Shawn has been a fantastic Trainer, helping with my balance and stamina.

Expérience fantastique: There are lots of gyms to choose from, but there was something about this one that appealed to me and my gut was right. Shawn is amazing. He knows his stuff, knows when to push us and reminds us to take care of ourselves and not get injured. The classes and well thought out, and there are lots of them so I never get bored or have conflict. I highly recommend this bootcamp!

Expérience fantastique: Absolutely love this place. I get pushed every class and have been gaining strength. The coach helps me work around my injuries and in 3.5 weeks I have more mobility with my injured shoulder. I highly recommend this place. Great people, great coach!

Expérience fantastique: Strength Camp in Langley is the place to be whether you want to lose weight, gain lean mass or (as you guest it) get STRONGER! Shawn is an excellent coach and his understanding of the kinematics of the human body is exceptional, goodbye bad form and muscular imbalances. You won't regret coming in for a class to see what it's all about!

Expérience fantastique: Great gym for all levels... Very clean, welcoming, and lots of class times available... also the same class runs all day so no need to shuffle schedules. Shawn is very knowledgeable and has great modifications for any injuries/ability levels... anyone can do it and they offer a free trial!

Expérience fantastique: Amazing facility! Shawn is incredibly knowledgeable in form and function of movement and has a great personality. The facility is clean , organized and welcoming. The workouts are intense but they also ensure you are using proper form to prevent injuries. Many exercises they implement actually increase your overall stability and functional movement. I can't recommend a better place to get almost 1 on 1 training at a fraction of the cost. It's perfect for anyone at any stage in their life regardless of experience or physical fitness level. They have you covered no matter what!
