I had a fantastic time dropping in on the CFK crew today :) Im from out of town and popped in just in time for a workout. They were inviting and friendly and had a great program lined up for the class. Do go check them out, especially if you're in the mood for getting into a good community of people who are serious about living healthy, but not pretentious.

Dropped in from out of town. Great experience. Very welcoming and a cool group. If you're in from out of town it is definitely worth dropping in.

Took a chance on Crossfit K and was very happy/surprised by the wonderful instruction I received here. I was very lucky to get Nathan as my Elements instructor, who really listened to everything I wanted to achieve fitness wise, encouraged me, and patiently scrutinized my form to make sure I was lifting absolutely right. You can really tell this is a gym that genuinely wants you to succeed and do well, and I think anyone who jumps in here will get that right away.

I'm visiting from out of town (Los Angeles) and CF Kitsilano is a great box and community. They were very accommodating to allow me to participate in one of their classes. Kat and Karina were both very welcoming and friendly. The box is very cozy and their Wolfpack insignia on their board is awesome! I think they should really incorporate it back in to their box t-shirts. CF Kitsilano has great coaches. Kat and Karina were very attentive to everyone making sure everyone had great form and efficiency, especially for the 15.5 open workout we did today. Kat gave advice on how to row efficiently and spent a few extra minutes with me to get rhythm down correctly. Karina also helped all of us correct and tweak our thruster technique. If you want a small and intimate gym feel, CrossFit Kitsilano is a great encouraging place to be. The members are super nice and are always cheering you on to finish those reps. Whether you're visiting from out of town or a local looking for new fitness goals, please give CFK a try- they know what they are doing! The best part of this place is they're dog friendly and have cute doggies that greet you on your way in! Bonus: The coaches make you do some mobility cool down post exercise stretches and dynamic movements before you leave!

Really awesome group & culture here. I joined as a beginner to Crossfit while in town for a few months and learnt heaps! Everyone is super welcoming & supports each other no matter what level you're at. The coaches know their stuff and are passionate about what they do ????

I started private training with the owner after my doctors ordered me to start working out, following confirmation of Traumatic Brain Injury. He was patient and understood that he would have to tell me over and over again the technique or the exercises because my memory was zero and my brain would forget and in shut down mode. I literally could not do a flow without him telling me what came next. So he has the patience to deal with anyone if he could deal with me in recovery from TBI and Neck Compression. I then had to take a break due to major shoulder injury sustained on my return to work and even though I’m still recovering 10 months later, I have rebounded and he has tailored sessions for me specifically to ensure that we don’t over do it, or that I don’t need manipulation and that I keep good form. He went out of his way to do major research to teach me different movements, alignment techniques and explains when to push me through an exercise. But more importantly HE LISTENS - he respects that I know my body just as well and when I say I need to take it slow or it feels off and we suddenly have switch up the routine he does no questions asked. I’m in recovery and even though we are increasing progress, he is my number cheerleader. Reminding me to strong mentally first and physically second. So even though they are well known for #crossfit they really do private training even more and #functionalbodybuilding is just as hard as CrossFit and perfect for those with injuries and mobility issues.

Natalie Duronio

I couldn’t be more grateful to be part of the CFK community. People come here to improve their health and fitness under the guidance of knowledgeable coaches, and end up staying not only for this reason, but also because of the positive impact that this supportive community has on their whole lives. Lifelong friendships and positive life habits are formed at CFK. AND we have a lot of fun along the way.

Great box. Inviting and friendly for all levels. The coaches really take the time to go over positioning and technique. It has helped me push my strength and fitness beyond what I could have got to by myself in a fun environment.

Visiting from out of town and dropped in for a work out recently, and was warmly welcomed and coached as if I was a long-time member. Great facilities, friendly atmosphere, and excellent coaching. Highly recommend CF Kitsilano for anyone in the area, either visiting or looking for a full time fitness program.

Great facility! Highly recommend it.

I joined CFK over half a year ago as a beginner to CrossFit. I joined with the goal of keeping active and learning something new, but I soon realized the strong sense of community and friendship that's formed at this box. The owner is passionate about CFK and very friendly. He did a great job in making changes in response to the recent pandemic and social environment. He really went a long way to keep members engaged during the lockdown and to continuously improve the class offerings and schedules. All of the coaches are also fantastic. They are extremely knowledge and very engaged in helping and motivating everyone during the class. The coaches are definitely what makes the difference in a class. I highly recommend this box for anyone interested in joining CrossFit!

Coming up on a year at CFK at love it. Young, energetic and easy going coaches who all know their stuff, including several competing at high level competitions. Skill level of members range from beginner to experienced; great vibe.

Matt Wende

This place is like a second home to me. I enjoy the workouts, but I look forward to going because of the friends I’ve made there. Small classes means you get more attention from instructors, and after a while they know when to push you and when your giving your all.

I came to CFK without previous athletic background and wanting to find a community which can support me in building a more active lifestyle. And I found exactly just that. You have to take mandatory foundation classes which gave you solid movements foundation that can be applied beyond the classes. I did my intro with Iker who provided great insights to my body movements and always has your back in every class. Even for a beginner like me, the movements are scalable and I could see my progression within 6-8 months after my first visit. While COVID restricted some of the more social aspects of the gym compared to normal, I still find that the people you meet in class truly roots for you (which goes a long way when you feel like giving up). I cannot recommend this place enough for everyone, no matter what kind of fitness goals you are looking for. You’ll find the workout energizing and fun (though hard), as well as a supportive community of coaches and attendees.

It’s been a month and I’m hooked. Very well maintained box. Good community feeling, owner is nice and accommodating, and trainers are experienced and really invested in seeing you grow.

Crossfit Kits is an amazing gym. It has a strong community feel . All the coaches go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and connected. They warmly introduce you to other members and give you personal and consistent attention. They ensure you are doing the routines/weightlifting correctly so you feel on top of your game. They are very encouraging , and no matter what level you are at, they support and encourage you, as do the other members of the gym. I joined with my two teenage sons, and they love it. They really feel a connection with their community and are inspired to work out. Worth every dollar!

Mike Hsu

CFK is a great place with knowledgeable staff, a caring community and with a focus on quality of movement over quantity. I've been at the gym for over two years, and it is always a highlight of my week. I'm a middle-aged guy with a lot of responsibility for aging parents, teenage kids and people I care for where I work. But regardless of how difficult life gets, I can always count on a great workout, lots of laughs with a community of friends and a freeing of my mind from the burdens of life.

Karina Lee Nowlan

Absolutely love this gym! It has changed my life. I have met so many fantastic people at Kits crossfit. Everyday I'm excited to go to classes. The coaches are fantastic and make me a better athlete everyday! Everyone is warm and welcoming. They are also encouraging through the workouts regardless of your athletic ability. I have been a member for over a year and will continue to be for a long time.
