Apex The Gym

Expérience fantastique: My strength and conditioning sessions at Apex are exceptional. I look forward to each session designed for improving my fitness level. Great trainer, encouraging and very supportive throughout my 8 plus years there. I am mentally and physically healthier. Thank you Apex.

Expérience fantastique: The trainers can help you set up a workout schedule regardless of your age and fitness level.

Expérience fantastique: A no-nonsense gym with straightforward services and an excellent experience with a personal coach!

Expérience fantastique: I started training at Apex since May last year. My initial motivation was to fix my posture through strengthening certain muscles as I sit all day long at work. I read good things about deadlift and decided to give it a try. Fast forward eight months, it definitely gets easier for me to use a better posture while seating (e.g. feeling easier not to hunch). Even though there are still work to do to fix all my upper back problems, I am very happy with the progress made at Apex. Also as a regular badminton player, I noticed that I have become more aware of using my core while hitting shots, which are more powerful now, which I believe also comes from deadlift training - a benefit I wasn't expecting when I first started. The staffs there are great as well. Highly recommended to anyone who is considering going to gym more seriously.

Expérience fantastique: I have been training at Apex for about 2 months now in the weekly semi-training. My primary reason for attending is to learn the form for and progress with compound lifts. The three initial one-on-one sessions with Victor were extremely valuable. I learned tweaks to my form that have already helped dramatically. And the weekly sessions in semi-private (5 people) continue to give great results. I definitely recommend Apex to anyone who prioritizes strength training.

Expérience fantastique: I have been looking for a gym that offers a semi-private class and chanced upon this company. It's a small class of 4-5 which is what I wanted. I like that you get an assessment first and then tailor a program to suit your needs and your goals based on that assessment. They also have a Physiotherapy clinic upstairs which is great. I have been seeing Pat for my lower back pain and he liases with Victor so he can modify or add exercises specific to my lower back. After 12 weeks with Victor and the team, I can say my back feels much better and I feel stronger. Jill was wonderful with my assessment. Overall, a great team, very knowledgeable and friendly. Thank you Jill, Victor, and Pat.

Expérience fantastique: I’ve been training at Apex for well over 2 years now and it truly deserves every one of these five stars! From the moment you walk in, the environment is clean, hospitable and welcoming. I love it when the staff greets you when you’re about ready to crush your workout! You can tell you’re with a group of coaches who are incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and serious about your training. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned athlete, Apex will provide the environment and motivation to help you achieve your goals. Their attention to your health and wellness is unparalleled! Thank you Team Apex for your care and attention, and here’s to many more PRs and pain free movement!

Expérience fantastique: Fantastic gym! The semi-private classes is a perfect model and fit for me. Victor and the other trainers are highly experienced and will build a plan customized to your goals, while I can continue to improve with them close at hand. I don't love large classes or 1:1 sessions, so this is such a more effective option - both physically and cost. Just great people as well!

Expérience fantastique: Apex has treated me very well, and has given me exactly the results I was looking for. I went from never having done any of the Olympic lifts, to being able to clean & jerk my bodyweight in the span of 4 months. I am very satisfied with Victor's attention to detail on my form during my semi-private sessions with him.

Expérience fantastique: Their Physio Therapist, Pat Wu, is top notch. Pat is knowledgeable and makes the "fixes" easy to understand and provides simple queues to help improve movements and limitations. I have been working with Pat for 1-month now and I have seen significant improvements all around. Highly recommend visiting Pat for any PT needs or general improvements!

Expérience fantastique: My workout experience with Apex was amazing! I used to workout at a large group with limited guidance from the coach so my progress was slow. However, Apex provides semi-private training which is perfect for people who want to get customized training program and those who want to save money from personal training. All coaches - Victor, Steve, Betsy, Pat are professional and friendly. I really enjoy working with them.

Expérience fantastique: I've been in Apex since the middle of 2022. As an engineer who finds it very hard to balance a decent good work-life balance + exercising, Apex has been a great place to train at. For me individually, I wanted to get stronger in my squat, bench and deadlifting goals. Victor has been great in giving me personal training, tailoring my workouts, and teaching me mobility drills to prevent injury + activate the right muscle groups during my compound lifts. For anyone that is starting to hit the gym or wants to be stronger, regardless of what your fitness goals is at, Apex is definitely a place I would recommend to anyone in the lower mainland.

Expérience fantastique: Great coaches. Equipment is maintained well. Semi-private training gives you the best of a personal trainer at a reasonable price.

Expérience fantastique: Apex the gym is the best place for semi private training in the whole city. My goals at the gym are constantly being met and exceeded since joining apex. Not to mention the prices are amazing for this level of service. The picture attached shows the my progression from apex. My workouts are being updated every session I am there. It ensures me to still progress up while being safe and have proper technique.

Expérience fantastique: I've been going to Apex for over two years, and it has been an incredible journey. When I first started, I had chronic neck and shoulder pain that had been bothering me for a long time. Thanks to the personalized training programs and the attentive trainers, I've not only managed to alleviate my pain but also build strength and overall fitness. The small group training sessions with 3-4 people per trainer create a supportive and encouraging atmosphere. The customized program is tailored to individual needs and goals. The trainers Victor and Steven are accommodating but know when to push you to achieve more. Their expertise, dedication, and the fact that they expect me to show up twice a week have kept me on track and motivated. If you're looking for a supportive, personalized, and effective fitness experience, I highly recommend giving this place a try. My body is thankful for it, and I'm sure yours will be too!

Expérience fantastique: I started with Apex just a year ago, and I really enjoy it! The others in the class are fun, and Steven keeps the training interesting and is very supportive. As I get older, I know I need more exercises to keep healthy. I will continue to train at Apex!

Expérience fantastique: Been going here for years. Great trainers and great space!

Expérience fantastique: I'm very happy I found Apex. I am old and I was getting fatter and lazier by the day. My biggest concern going back to a gym was doing something dumb (having horrible technique) and injuring myself. It took time but I have proper technique. My coach also explained how we would progress through different movements to move me closer to my goal. The programming is challenging and that's how it should be. Thank you to my coach and the staff for helping me build the right habits in my training. Thank you for your patience and helping me progress each session!

Expérience fantastique: I've been training with Victor since 2014. I started out with no form or technique, could not squat more than my bench, and had no experience with workout programs. Through my years of training, I have achieved muscle growth, strength, and mental focus. Victor and the other PTs at Apex the Gym are dedicated to giving each client their own individual program, and creating an environment of semi-private group training. When you're doing your program, it feels like a private training session because they give you feedback, correct your form, and challenge you. I highly recommend Apex the Gym for powerlifting, Olympic weightlifting, and strength and conditioning. You will hit PRs, you will sweat, you will see your body composition change. (In this time of COVID-19, Apex the Gym maintains and abides by all social distancing, safety and cleanliness guidelines).

Expérience fantastique: Joining Apex just over a year ago has been one of the best decisions I have made for my health. At 50, I wanted to increase my mobility & strength, and since starting have gained much more than that! Everyone has an individualized plan they are working on from beginner to more advanced. My workouts have kept me challenged while never being too much. The environment is not intimidating, it feels encouraging and safe. Great and knowledgeable staff. I highly recommend!

Expérience fantastique: Awesome gym. Very unique semi-personal training format in which there is one Trainer per max. 4 people in hour long sessions. I've been going to Apex for over 2 years and find it works for the following reasons: 1. Accountability - Before joining Apex I'd often be too lazy / tired / busy to make it to the gym. By having scheduled times each week, I am forced to make it a priority. 2. Program Design - When you're on your own, it can be difficult to put together a program. How many reps? Sets? Which exercise, etc.. At Apex the Trainers create a custom program for you based on your goals, and ensure progression. 3. Guidance/form correction - A big fear of lifting heavy weights is getting injured. Having expert Trainers on hand to teach and make corrections ensures that you can push yourself without getting injured. Basically, all the benefits of personal training but actually affordable.

Expérience fantastique: I've been going here for almost 1.5 years with my partner. Victor and Steven are awesome trainers super chill guys that make sure every workout is done correctly. Best gym ever

Expérience fantastique: Been here for almost a year, my olympic lifts are getting better every time. Much thanks to Victor and Pat for making sure I perform the lifts perfectly, mostly Vic :D At the moment, they also have free online home workout classes for members. Friendly, encouraging trainers, lots of parking around, chill vibes and flexible schedule, I recommend this gym.

Expérience fantastique: Worked with Victor for 2 months on my snatches and cleans. They feel solid now, recommend this gym. Staff really friendly, really flexible with my schedule

Expérience fantastique: The trainers are dedicated to creating programs specific to an individual's goals. I came to Apex with the intent of improving my Olympic Lifts. My technique has improved and I've also noticed a significant increase in strength.

Expérience fantastique: After seven months with the trainers at Apex, I have gone from a completely sedentary lifestyle at the age of 35 to working out 3-4 times per week and enjoying it. The trainers and the customized programs will ensure that you can steadily grow into good habits and physical development and learn how to use the gym without getting frustrated, injured, or giving up. Due to their excellent programs and supportive approach, I have lost weight, learned how to exercise, gotten stronger, and, most importantly, I have more energy in my daily life. Although we have moved away, I will always thank the Apex team for putting me on the right path. Thanks Victor, Kevin, Tim, Karen, and Betsy!

Expérience fantastique: Great gym with really dedicated trainers. They track my progress very closely and ensures my routine is giving me the maximum benefits. I've joined Apex the Gym for over a year now and cannot see my fitness training or my membership with anyone else. The coaches truly care about their clients and encourages us with their tentative training and support. I love that they push me to my limits and help achieve my fitness goals. Thanks Vic and Kev!!

Expérience fantastique: Throughout the five months I’ve been going to Apex, the trainers there continuously help work me towards reaching my goals. I started from a sedentary lifestyle, with no knowledge about anything regarding to fitness or exercise in general, to actually enjoying going to the gym and having more energy. The trainers’ confidence in your skills will keep you motivated; and they are willing to listen if you encounter any problems during your workouts. You can tell that Victor, Kevin, and Karen are friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about your health and fitness. I’m one of the laziness persons I know, so no doubt Apex’s program is a good fit for anyone that tries them out.

Expérience fantastique: Signed up for the introductory package and both Victor and Kevin are amazing trainers/coaches. They are able to find a perfect balance with pushing you and feeling rewarded and accomplished at the end of each session. They are both very friendly and always monitoring technique while taking you through each exercise

Expérience fantastique: I started training with Victor at Apex the gym two months and in this two month I have seen tremendous improvements in my body composition, strength and overall fitness. I know Victor is committed to my training and to my personal success, and he always motivates me to dig a little deeper during my training sessions. The time spent with Victor is focused, intense and results oriented. I would strongly recommend "Apex the gym" for anyone looking to get in shape, lose weight, or take their current fitness to the next level.

Expérience fantastique: I work an 8-5 desk job and had never had a personal trainer before. I had regularly gone to the gym but it would get boring and I would plateau. Victor's programming and guidance have given me confidence in my fitness direction and progress. I also feel like my workouts are more efficient. I don't have to plan or worry about my workouts being 'enough.' After my experience with Apex, I can't picture myself continuing regular fitness without a trainer. Thank you, Victor!

Expérience fantastique: Apex is awesome!!! My fiancee and I really enjoy our weekly sessions with Kevin and Victor. They're really knowledgable and care about their clients a lot. We always look forward to working out at Apex

Expérience fantastique: Kevin and Victor are the most accommodating and knowledgeable trainers I have ever worked with. I hated the gym before finding Apex. Now I'm an addict and seeing great results. Semi private training is a brilliant concept.

Expérience fantastique: I enjoy training at APEX as it's a friendly and welcoming environment. Both Kevin and Victor are knowledgeable and professional. They are really great trainers. The workout routines are personalized and effective, and focus on proper techniques. Highly recommended.

Expérience fantastique: Awesome gym and great trainers. Kevin and Victor really know what they are doing. I have been training with them for almost two years now and I have to say I can't find any better trainers in Vancouver. Highly recommended for everyone.

Expérience fantastique: My first six months at Apex has shown me how incredibly efficient personal training can be. Two hours of training a week with Victor and Kevin has been way more productive and enjoyable than spending many aimless hours a week in a gym without a personalized training program. Their studio is a friendly and encouraging environment and their focus on proper lifting fundamentals provides a safe foundation for training regardless of a person’s strengths and weaknesses.

Expérience positive: Great staff and program. Just need more flexible times for people on weird dual schedules like me.

Expérience fantastique: I started working out with Victor at Apex in March and for me this is the most effective workout routine I have done. I used to join the regular gyms but either never went or didn't know the right workouts to do there. I like the fact that I don't have to worry about what I have to do since the workouts are all planned out. Victor and Kevin are always paying attention to form to make sure everything is being done correctly. I plan to continue with Apex and am very satisfied with the results I am getting.

Expérience fantastique: I have been training at Apex since the beginning of the year, and have already noticed a huge improvement in my strength! Kevin and Victor are extremely knowledgeable trainers, who truly care about your well-being, and will help you reach your full potential through fun yet challenging workouts. Without their coaching, I would never have been able to reach my fitness goals in only 6 months. THANK YOU!

Expérience fantastique: Honestly, Kevin and Victor have revolutionized my life through personal training sessions. They are both physically eloquent in their technique and teaching. Sessions with them has improved my strength, stamina, endurance, flexibility, speed, coordination, agility, balance, and accuracy. In addition, it has also revamped my confidence, self esteem, ability to manage stress, outlook on life, and commitment to my health and well-being. They have a unique approach to personal training and I highly recommend them to anyone who is seeking to improve their overall health and well-being.

Expérience fantastique: Victor and Kevin are awesome!! In the short time that I have trained here, I have been taught proper technique and recovery, which has made me so much stronger. I am lifting heavier each day and doing things (like holding 100lbs over my head) that I never thought I would ever be able to do! Plus their gym is great and has all the best equipment. Highly recommend.

Expérience fantastique: Best trainers in the world. I used to work with Kevin Hirose at South Arm Community Centre. When he opened his gym, I started working out there and the service is amazing. Kevin really knows his stuff and he's helped me do exercises pain free. If you are looking to improve your fitness, reduce pain, and have fun, definitely check this gym out.

Expérience fantastique: I have trained with Kevin for several years and as well Victor now since opening Apex. They know the science of movement and focus on teaching proper technique before anything else. The gym has a plenty of plates, barbells, kettlebells, power racks, as well an Olympic lifting platform, equipment is never an issue. This is THE place to train!

Expérience fantastique: A well functioning gym with friendly people and great trainers. Kevin and Victor will help you reach your potential in whichever facet of physical performance you desire - strength, conditioning, sports related, weight loss, etc. Their "semi private" approach to training ensures you get one-on-one attention when you most need it, without having to pay personal training premiums (they will even tailor a program to your goals for you to use when you train outside of Apex). When I first came to Apex I wanted to focus on strength training, and not only have I improved my form and overall strength in the past few months but also remedied old injuries that had plagued me for the year before I joined. Now I'm Stronger and Safer. ...plus their conditioning classes and circuits have me lean as ever!

Expérience fantastique: My strength and conditioning has greatly improved since I started working out at Apex with Kevin and Victor. Their knowledge on proper form, technique, foam rolling, and trigger pointing is the best I've seen in the personal training industry so far.

Expérience positive: True pro here. Kevin maximises my workout with proper techniques and a subtle push. Always there to correct me when I'm tapped at the end of a set so i get the full value to the muscles that need it.
