Reviews of West Coast Iron (Gym)

H Singh

Hands down best gym to throw iron around with like minded individuals. Atmosphere is everything, owners keep it 100.

Feels like LA. Very friendly and helpful staff. Quite a drive from the city but worth visiting

Felipe Cervantes

Best gym I've ever gone to, nicest owners as well, down to earth, passionate and very welcoming. Won't be going back to a corporate gym after this, that's for sure

Lubos Miklosik

Amazing gym, amazing atmosphere, one of the best gyms in Vancouver for sure. SERIOUS Bodybuilding gym, like I'm a pretty decent sized guy and everyone is bigger than me. although for me I take this as motivation. It's always crazy to see some guys dumbbell pressing 150s or deadlift Ing and squatting 500lbs.

Corey Swiergosz

Great environment for any athlete that is serious about lifting! The wide selection of equipment found at Westcoast iron is one of the best in the region. You will not be disappointed if you train at this gym.

Mr. Smith

. Dirty change rooms and rude staff. Do not pay the very high rates. Lower rates at better facilities elsewhere. More Brawn than Brains for sure !!

Derek Hird

One of the best gyms I've been too. Staff are all friendly, equipment clean and just a great vide.

Nicolae Roman

PS: the hours are good the music is great but most of all their new hoodies are ????????

Best gym around! Great owners, friendly staff and an atmosphere that can’t be beat!

Leo Lawson

I practically grew up here! First came to this gym when I was 17 and it was called World Gym and I've seen the various owners and the incredible transformation this place has had over the years. The current owners have been phenomenal for this place - they've really made it something special. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to be surrounded by dedicated fitness enthusiasts but feel welcome no matter what level of fitness you are at! These days the patrons are extremely friendly and willing to provide tips to others!!

Andy Rose

By far the BEST gym in the Vancouver area! I wish it was closer to my house. The staff, the people that train here and the music are all fantastic. Super motivating atmosphere.

West Coast Iron is by far the best gym in the lower mainland. Starting with a warm welcome by all the fantastic staff, the gym is filled with great people, pumping music and a large variety of equipment for everyone’s needs. Finding a time when the gym isn’t busy can sometimes be difficult although it’s worth it!

Graham Chan

Serious training only. Check your ego kids, and enjoy a mix of old school iron and heritage machines. Do you listen to metal or rap, use chalk and lift heavy? Post-workout shake? Then this place is for you. If not, go to Club 16.

Just Munchin

Nice facility, spacious, clean (relatively; it's a gym not a perfume stand), awesome equipment, friendly staff, oh and good music even though we all use our own music its nice between songs to hear heavy metal/ hard rap in the back ground as opposed to pop music.

Peter Rusu

best gym in the lower mainland.

Jason Hunter

Amazing atmosphere and people who work there and work out. Never a bad interaction and have been coming since X-Club days. Even despite moving away, I still take the time to get here. Nothing like it.

Frank Lalonde

Great gym, lots of different types of equipment! A lot of unique machines to get a great workout in!

Alison Walker

There is no gym like it! An absolute must if you are a bodybuilder visiting from out of town... Or anyone who loves an upbeat, inspiring, motivating environment full of old-school equipment, heavy weights and tons of variety. Good people, too!

Trevor Foreman

Great gym with lots of quality equipment. Staff are helpful, new juice bar being installed. One year anniversary party this month. Come N Train!

Michael Lee

Staff are great! Members are generally great! Environment amazing!

Dennis Glover

Wonderful experience there. Warm reception, helpful staff, clean, well ventilated, excellently set up, true definition of West Coast Hospitality.

Sylvia Jordi

Dedicated staff. Clean and organized facilities. Good airflow and natural light.

Larry Wilson

Great gym. Staff is super down to earth and friendly, Love it how there was no BS when signing up , just sign up and get to training !

Dave Wu

If your serious about training and don't wanna wait for equipments while someone is texting away. This is the place for you. They have at least two of every sort of equipments so your almost never waitin around. Worth the drive.

Karen C Ward

This place is in insane!!! The most amazing two levelled spacious gym, full of the best equipment! The staff are so welcoming and walk the walk! This place is the real deal!!! The atmosphere is killer from the music and making you feel like you have a home away from home! Seriously you HAVE to train here... Karen W.

Flooby

We showed up for drop-in and had a fantastic time. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Ron introduced himself us personally and made sure we felt welcome. The place was fully stocked with power bars, a huge selection of plates, and a lot of space. Thank you for having us, West Coast Iron!

Brandon Sinha

The best gym in the lower mainland by far. Very clean, even before covid. Literally everyone's incredibly friendly. The owners are super nice. Delicious and well priced shakes. Very strict rules regarding covid. Just the kind of environment where you can focus on your workout and know that everyone around you is doing the same. Oh and it's okay if you forget your headphones bc they have a perfect mix of oldschool rap, rock, and anything to keep you motivated

arash arshi

Its not a quite clean gym however it stands first as great Atmosphere and then more facilities

Neighbours Nemesis

I’ve been struggling to find what I would call a proper gym since coming to Canada from the UK but this place is perfect, great atmosphere and clearly geared towards more serious lifters although my inexperienced friend also felt very welcomed by the friendly staff, the owner Ron clearly takes pride in the place and it shows. If it wasn’t for me moving out to new west I would 100% still be training here but I’ll definitely be coming back once in a while to train.

Cameron Hacault

I'm a new member... and the vibe at the gym makes me want to pump iron. The staff are friendly, patient and helpful. The people working out are courteous. And the exercise area itself is great. Tons of free weights, machines and cardio equipment.

Derek Goodswimmer

The best bodybuilding gym with the best equipment, hands down, here in BC.

Candice Baker

Good gym

Mark Kalmykov

The place you want to be if you go to the gym with serious dedication. Equipment is top notch with everything you absolutely need to get that next PR or place in a bodybuilding show. You won't find another place like it anywhere else. With great membership prices, this place is a bargain for what it really offers. Old school gym vibes with great tunes being blasted on the speakers to get your blood pumping and sweat dripping. West coast Iron, Come N' Train!

O.W.N. Health & Strength

We went on a "lifting trip" from Seattle to check this place out. I have never enjoyed a gym so much! The gym equipment is awesome, and includes everything from great older machines to new, unique machines that our local gyms do not have! It's got a great vibe with the members, and it is one of the few gyms that plays the best music so no headphones needed! We met one of the owners who was extremely nice, checked in with us to see how we liked it, and gave us a little bit of background on the gym as well! We will absolutely take another trip up sometime to lift again! 100% the best gym I have visited.

Ajdin Nezic

Best gym ever. Equipment, vibe and staff are all 5 stars

Brandon MacKenney

A motivating environment to train at. Good vibes with the music. Also everyone seems generally really positive there. Check it out if you are in the area!

Evelyn Ladron de Guevara

Great energy, people doing their own thing, nice and open, lots of fresh air AMA great music playing while your working out, shout out to Chris Toews, best trainer Ever!!

Niti Bhatia

Most fantastic gym I have come across. It’s huge and has all the equipment possible. Staff is good. ????????

Thomas Tam

Great gym! Catered for serious athletes. Love the atmosphere, gives me a LA gym vibe. Highly recommend for any serious athletes.

Chris Dahan

Solid bodybuilding gym, typical crowd for that sort of gym so if you are one to be intimidated by advid lifters, than this probably isint the place for you. If you love heavy weights and lots of machines, then this place is right up your alley, powerlifting areas are good too. I'd go back!

Steffan Cusano

Coming from Britain I have found there a lot of gyms in the local area that a very gimmicky and I originally found it difficult to find a gym yhat suited what I wanted, which was just to go somewhere and work out. The range of weights machines are incredible, with the free weights section being one of the best I have seen. There's also multiples of things like bench presses, which means you don't have to wait around to use them. They have really well laid out membership plans too, with the option to pay monthly, half yearly and yearly. Finally, loads of the regulars are super fit, which I find is perfect motivation for me to put in a good workout.

Ice Man

Leaving Club16 and joining WestCoast is one of the BEST decisions I’ve made in my life. Big shoutout to Ron and everyone else in the team who are all so welcoming ❤️

adam huang

Best gym in the West. And the only one open right now

Happy Go lucky

Go hard or go home. The Mecca of gyms

Nikita Souchkevitch

State of the art old school Equipment Pro zone 100% for the 1% ????????????????

Ryley Elkjer

This place gets a reputation as a meat head gym, but it’s honestly one of the friendliest gyms in terms of staff and patrons I’ve ever encountered. It’s a community and everyone there is going to support you. As an example, at some point I saw I group of teenagers come in in street clothes and jeans, obviously their first time in a gym. Instead of throwing them out for violating the dress code as most gyms would, one of the owners (Ron) personally went and walked them through how to use several machines. You’re not going to find that anywhere else, and with beyond competitive pricing and the best equipment you’re going to find, I would highly recommend this place. On top of that their COVID-19 response was weeks ahead of other gyms, which again just goes to show they are committed to providing the best experience possible and best value to members. It’s difficult for me to even find anything negative to say. 5/5 well deserved.

Dwayne Johnson

Definitely a nice gym! Good music but if you want to train lower body (especially hamstrings) on a Saturday good luck. Seems almost impossible to get on any of those machines...

J Xmilar

Just joined 3 weeks ago .. and I can't believe this place. The staff are fantastic. Extremely friendly The place is clean . Every machine you can imagine . This is the first real gym I have gone to and I couldn't be happier !!

Tyler Yorko

West coast has a great training environment and an even better community of accepting people that are there to Improve and live better, healthier lives. Best gym in BC for sure

Karin B

I love this gym! Great equipment and overall energy. This is always on my “must visit” list when I’m in Van.

Robert Fun

Had the opportunity to try this gym on a 3 day pass-and let me tell you-this is one of the most well equipped facilities I have ever been in. I have been training for almost 40 years in gyms such as Olympic,Western, and Gators Surrey and Port Moody and none of them had the versatility that West Coast does.Somehow, I guess due to the atmosphere, the weights here felt lighter.Also,the staff and owners were very friendly. If you want to make significant gains then this is the gym for you.

Aman Sundher

Great gym with a great old school atmosphere. Owners are fantastic and always willing to help and answer any questions you have.

Kory Moore

Never been but Go Ton!

Shawn McCallum

Best gym in the lower mainland for sure, I live 5 minutes away from a popular gym, but would rather drive a bit further to West Coast Iron. It has a very better atmosphere, other members show you respect, the staff at the gym are very friendly, they talk to you or say hi every time they see you. West Coast Iron is one of the best gyms I’ve trained at. And they have the best equipment for leg day too!

Jeff Nikula

Great gym awesome environment Staff is super friendly And best equipment selection hands down

Liam HJ

Pretty incredible gym, one of the best in Canada no doubt.

Ciaran Joyce

Friendly helpful staff. Contientious of Covid and people's space. Plenty of equipment. And everyone cleans equipment after they've finished using it.

Kyle Smed

Best Real hard working gym around

Claire Wheeler

West coast iron provides the best selection of equipment, sufficient friendly staff and a safe, clean space to workout in. Ownership is dedicated to ensuring that all members needs are exceeded. Feedback from members is always heard by staff and the gym continues to thrive and surpass any other facilities within the lower mainland. During recent protocols with COVID-19 WCI has maintained a sanitary and safe environment to train in. They have done so by limiting the amount of members allowed in, providing spray bottles for each member and making members aware of mask protocols as they are updated by BC by-law standards. Recently I had to switch gyms after being very connected to the community at my old gym this was a difficult transition for me. Luckily there has been so much support from the staff and members at WCI and this is already starting to feel like home to me. If you haven't experienced WCI you need to go see for yourself, this space is one of a kind.

greg dealy

10 outta 10 would recommend for a lift. Great gym where you can lift with chalk, carry your gym bag around and be motivated by the people around you. Say hello to big Ron as he greets you at the door with a smile.

Razer Be

I've been going to this gym since 2003 (under different names and owners ) and these guys at west coast iron realy know what's up. Great price, equipment always up to date and best of all.... behind the counter is nothing but smiles. good work west coast iron ???? thank you.

Rachel Nicholson

Just moved to the area and definitely found the place I'll be calling home. The equipment, the people, the energy, cannot say enough good things about this gym!

Feature Flooring

Best gym ever. Simple.

Ronnie Stokes

By far the most motivating environment in the lower mainland with owners and staff who have built an amazing community within the gym and that promotes you to train at your best with a variety of different pieces hand picked to stand apart from the standardized gyms you see around. If you live a commutable distance from West Coast Iron and take your training seriously and aren't here, I'd reconsider! Hats off to the team for continuing to maintain a great gym for the casual gym goer to professional bodybuilding.

Dani Barisic

Very old school vibe and friendly staff.

John Kveton

West Coast Iron is the best of everything. Best equipment, best environment and best owners. No matter what kind of fitness your into, this place is for you. Come in and train for a week and you will know that this is the best gym in the west coast and maybe Canada!!!!!

mackenzie Jablonski

Its become the best gym in the lower mainland. Great crowd, great equipment, and constantly improving. Would recommended this place to anyone, especially anyone serious about lifting

Melody

Where to start....ok....Lots of work out equipment, weights and cardio machines. All kept clean and in good working order. Each person carries a bottle of disinfectant and wipes down the equipment after use.Large wall areas open when nice, to let in fresh air. Fans always on but do need more in upper cardio area. Private workout room for the shy with some good equipment. Bathrooms checked on a time schedule 10/10. Parking can be an issue if coming during busy hours. As for music...well...rap or slow songs do not make the cut when working out, and the caucasian girl with long straight dark hair unfortunately has an unprofessional unpleasant attitude and blatantly lies about not being able to change the music due the computer not working....very unethical work practice. All other staff are pleasant and respectful at all times. They play fast and furious music to get the adrenaline going for a great workout and will change the music on a dime to fast music if needed or asked. There is a bar area where they sell bottled beverages or will make you a workout drink. (prices are decent) Also available to purchase is a wide variety of weight training products(power) and/or gym clothes. The gym membership can be paid monthly or yearly. I prefer to give a business 5 stars, heres hoping that these few issues are improved upon. I do recommend this location.

Sean Solon

Amazing facility! Great atmosphere and the equipment is premium quality!

Alex D

West Coast Iron has a great variety of equipment and the vibe are pretty good compared to other gyms. Biggest complaint is the amount of people not wearing masks. People are constantly taking their masks off and walking around the gym. There are also quite a few people who weren’t even wiping equipment down after using it. Would be nice to see the staff enforce these covid policies as other gyms are currently doing.

Patrick Wright

I just moved into the area and finished my 3 day trial last week. After trying out a few of the other gyms and fitness clubs in my area, I couldn't wait to come back to West Coast Iron. Great gym, great atmosphere, great tunes and really awesome staff and members. Best gym in the lower mainland hands down. Excited to sign my membership today.

Scott McNally

Best gym on the west coast!

Chris Krentz

Cool gym great vibe

David Coleman

Awesome gym. Tons of weights. Place is super clean. It’s the only place you want to train at if your looking for a 10/10 place.

noriko nakagawa

Absolutely hands down the best gym ever. Staff are amazing and so friendly. All the equipment you could ever need. Love the vibes here ????????
