Reviews of Advantage Fitness (Gym)

Stefano Papa

I have trained for roughly 15 years spread across 3 other martial art schools in the city and none of them come close to matching the training here at Advantage. The training is hard, but you can feel a noticeable difference in your own personal growth at the end of each class. Furthermore, Adrian is always changing, adapting, and updating the curriculum to be relevant and challenging. I am currently in the best shape of my life and I owe that to Advantage. Thank you!

Overall amazing gym with great coaches!

Brandon Khong

Great place to train Muay Thai! The place is clean and the coaches are dedicated and friendly!

Charlotte Almeida

This is a state of the art facility. So clean and new! I also love that the owner is often upgrading his own training in Thailand so that his classes are truly authentic Muay Thai. The passion is awesome!

Yvonne Beland

Before coming to Advantage, I had never done any martial arts classes before so I was a little bit shy & apprehensive at first. However, all those feelings soon fell away when I met Adrian & started my first Muay Thai class. His teaching style is easy to understand & he was patient with me as a total beginner. As I improve, Adrian always finds the time to let me know if I should correct or refine my technique, and always does so in an encouraging way. Since starting at Advantage in March, I've since taken pretty much every class, from HIIT Bootcamp, Kickboxing, and Conditioning, & even a private session. The community and environment he's created is so encouraging. I look forward to every class I get to take!

Adrian and the entire Advantage Fit team have dramatically improved my life over the last year and a half. I am so grateful for the community this company has cultivated. Full of engaging students committed to growing their strength and skills. One of the best decisions I've ever made was walking through the front door.

I started training over 1 year ago with no prior fighting experience. Adrian and the staff are very professional. Every training session is well thought out and it pushed me just a little bit beyond my comfort level. The participants are friendly, committed to the sport and generate a great atmosphere. I only wish I started this earlier.

Great place with very good instructors ????

Adrian and the Advantage community drives me to be the best I can be. It feels like I am constantly improving and being pushed to my limit. Regardless of what your fitness goals are Adrian can get you there. If you like Muay Thai then you have to come train with us. It is a fun and pressure free environment where everyone is trying to help everyone else get better. The best part is you can be 7 or 70 years old and you will still feel part of the family.

I was very new to Muay Thai, I had only 2 months of experience prior to coming to Advantage fitness. As a beginner, I would say that this gym cater's well to the inexperienced, Adrian is a great person to work with and he will be more than happy to help you get up to speed. He will help you with your form which will let you use proper technique, and develop speed which in turn will automatically lead to a more powerful strike. If you have any questions just ask, everyone's been a beginner at one point or another so you don't have to worry about sounding silly or not being good enough. And if you stick with it long enough, you'll get to know the core group that attends regularly and before you know it you'll feel right at home. They are workout machines and also very personable, it's the perfect combination for training! I had a great time getting to know and training with everyone, Im going to miss it here for sure. This is a super clean gym and the environment here is great. You'll have no choice but to get in better shape simply by participating in the class, and it's easy to do because the people in the class are all really friendly and helpful as well. It's go at your pace but you will be encouraged to give it your all every time. Remember what you put into it is what you get out of it. There's always something else that you can learn/improve on as you work with different people, so I would say, whatever your level of understanding, you can benefit from coming to advantage fitness and training with Adrian and everyone else at the gym. So if you do decided to check out Advantage fitness just remember to give it your all, keep it in control, be respectful, and have fun! You won't regret it, unless you absolutely hate sweating.

Looked around for a place to train and I knew this was the one right away. Super fun, great intensity, good people and awesome instructors.

Ronsar Lo

Amazing and patient staff, clean facility and well equipped. Nothing to fear with getting started. Low pressure environment, everybody is friendly and helpful.

Sharon A

At first I was intimidated by the classes because I'm not an athlete by any means but actually I was made to feel welcomed. The instructors here know how to run a good class and camaraderie naturally follows. The muay thai and conditioning classes are a challenge to both mind and body. Every class feels like an accomplishment in some way. I'm really glad that I signed up with this gym.

Desiree Chew

Mu bestie and I tried out this gym for the first time. Coach Adrian was a great, encouraging Coach, and teaches traditional muay thai techniques. It's also a super clean studio, your feet aren't black by the end of a training day, that's the best! Thanks for the great experience Coach!

Gonz Arratia

Get Ready, Get Fit, GO!! This is a great facility with a great trainer who knows what he's doing! The training is great for all levels. I have been going for 10 months, after a decade of not working out at all, and I have lost 30lbs and loving it! If you want to get fit, gain strength and acquire Muay Thai Skills, then gain the Advantage and come workout!

Lydia Huang

First time I've ever trained for martial arts was here, and I so glad I started here. It has the cleanest equipment, best coaches, and friendliest environment. I stopped for a while and came right back when I was ready, never gave other gyms a consideration. Love it!

Emily Hagerty

Very warm and welcoming vibe. Great people and environment. Clean facility and well maintained. There is always something new each class, never the same. Adrian and staff are experienced, dedicated, and encouraging people. Come change your life at Advantage.

I do Bootcamp classes on Tuesday and Thursday and love it! The classes are always different and challenging. It's reasonably priced and there is always easy parking! The class is 45min and it just flies by!!

Daniel Chang

Ever since I joined Advantage Fitness in Feb, I've grown tremendously as an individual. Adrian and his team are great at ensuring you improve your Muay Thai skill sets over time. Every class is different, and I appreciate the time and effort the team puts into planning and executing the training session. The dynamic and competitive environment is what I look forward to every time I go!

Fairen Rosenlund

Great selection of challenging classes and Adrian is a great trainer. The facility is clean and new. The music selection is what keeps me motivated and coming back every week.

The Advantage Muay Thai and Fitness Trainers are extremely encouraging and motivating, to a degree that you will end up developing a passion to participate in their HIIT and or Muay Thai classes. You will definitely see positive results. The Advantage Muay Thai and Fitness trainers and members train in this respectful environment that is welcoming of all ages and fitness levels in all of their HIIT and Muay Thai classes. My children and I have all trained here for a number of years and have never gotten tired of training at this facility, we have actually gotten more enthused to attend even more of Advantage Fitness classes. You won't be disappointed by making this gym part of your Lifestyle.

Jeremy Chin

It's an amazing experience here. I've been here for four months and the people we met are amazing. It is fun yet challenging at times, but it definitely pushes you out of your comfort zone. They have different level of Muay Thai. Definitely worth coming here

Jimmy Castillo

Absolutely must try gym if you're on the fence. The staff at Advantage are simply amazing and focused on you bettering yourself. Adrian the owner is extremely welcoming and caring to new members. The rest of the team, Claudia and Julien are equally as amazing. I started here last year in October to simply ''try it out'' I never looked back and signed up after my free trial. Got my friend to try it out and we've been going ever since and have no plans to leave anytime soon. If you're someone who's never touched a pad or thrown any kind of strike, please consider giving this place a shot you won't regret it.

Jade Coubarakis

I really can’t emphasize enough how excellent the facility and trainers are at Advantage. After a 2 year battle with a herniated disc and chronic back pain, I finally made the decision to start training at Advantage and I can easily say it was the best decision I’ve ever made for my physical and mental health. Adrian and Megan took the time to modify exercises for me and gave me the encouragement and motivation I needed to overcome my injury. I have since fully rehabilitated my back and can once again train at the high intensity that I’m used to and I owe it all to Adrian and Megan. If you’re looking for an exceptional facility, fast-paced and fun atmosphere and a constant challenge then you should definitely consider training at Advantage.

Craig M

Been here a month already and loving every second. The training is intense but most importantly it’s done in a safe environment. I have trained in many gyms prior to this and can attest to the quality that this place provides. Would highly recommend.

Gord L

I can’t get enough of the Muay Thai, Adrian teaches it like the real Thai style training. Everyone here really checks his or her ego at the door, which makes the Mauy Thai here so contagious. Advantage is a great place to train, I love the Muay Thai it’s rigorous and the sport performance program is accommodating to everything I do from soccer, hockey and Muay Thai. I can honestly feel and see the difference when doing the sport-training program. The sports performance class really takes me to the next level with state of art equipment, plyometric, and dynamic movement exercises.

Kaushik Lohia

Adrian and the Advantage Fit family made working out fun again. Not only did it become one of the best parts of my week, but the results I saw in myself were the best I've ever had after working out for 5 years. Everyone's eager to help you grow and will work with your skill level, so that all can feel included, as long as you work hard!

Romela N

I have been training in Muay Thai with Advantage for the last two years and its been a great learning experience! Classes are taught for all levels and for all different backgrounds in martial arts in mind. Advantage teaches Muay Thai in its original art form, with the highly technical moves broken down clearly and precisely in a safe, effective manner; making it easy to understand and execute. It is a perfect combination of a mind / body workout in a CLEAN, state of the art facility!

Danny DOK

I have moved around a lot and been a member to many gyms, I've trained in various martial arts. Advantage Fitness is by far the best studio I have ever trained, Adrian tailors his specific workouts to target the people in the class and really works with every person individually to make sure you achieve your desired goals. I have been injured for years and have tried many different approaches to get back in training and only after his boot camp did my body start responding to the training, I told Adrian what issues I was having and he explained the different workouts and variations to get conditioned enough over time and be able to fully take advantage of the whole workout. Absolutely the best gym/studio there is, even if you are in shape and train everyday, you can improve your personal performance through these workouts, and if you aren't in shape, you will get in shape, guaranteed results, different classes and programs to choose from and great people. You can get fit, learn to defend yourself, if your an athlete, your performance will exponentially improve and the atmosphere is always everyone helping everyone, no show offs, no pressure. Advantage fitness is where you go to improve yourself (mind, body, spirit)period, if that's not what you want, go to your local gym., Adrian, thank you for all your help, I appreciate it, my body appreciates it and my work appreciates it. Advantage for your life, that's where the name comes from.

I've trained at almost all gyms in North Burnaby, and have been goin to advantage for almost 2 years. I gotta say Advantage is the cleanest and nicest gym in the area, and the people are even nicer.

Kiana Banicevic

adrian and the advantage community are by far the best in town. the motivation you get by stepping through the advantage front doors makes working out so much fun. With such a clean facility and amazing staff, I can without a doubt say that I have never had a better workout than the ones i get at advantage, and the best results as well. No matter your fitness level, adrian will definitely get you to reach your fitness goal. If you are looking for an amazing fitness experience then look no further because you won’t find it anywhere else!

Justin Cheung

SIMPLY THE BEST WORKOUTS. I feel the most fit I have ever felt since starting my journey here almost 3 years ago. That says a lot since I used to play competitive hockey and lift weights. I always leave drenched in sweat and just feeling good. The facility is clean, instructors are helpful/friendly, and I'm very grateful to be part of the Advantage community.

Karli

This past week has been my first experience in Advantage Fitness or any gym in general, and I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience than the one I got! Although the workout was hard, all staff and members of the facility were encouraging and welcoming towards me; and because of that I was even more motivated to get a member ship to Advantage Fitness! :D

gianluca papa

Started training at this gym and lost 40 pounds in two months Great staff, very clean And always a fun, challenging workout. Best gym in Burnaby ????

jem scoble

Simply put, Advantage is amazing! Not only does is it have a great selection of classes, exceptional staff and a great facility, it is a place for men and women of all fitness levels and ages. Members train hard and respect the shared space and each other - which is not always easy to find. If you take fitness seriously and are busy, want to train in a challenging and efficient manner with a really great group of people, joining Advantage is the best thing you could do. I love it!

Adam Hou

Superb quality training amongst an incredible group of members. Adrian the head coach is very knowledgeable in the art of Muay Thai. 5 stars would recommend.

Julian Avelino

Over the last eleven months I have been training in mostly the Muay Thai Program at Advantage Fitness. Upon entering the facility for the first time, I was welcomed into a warm, friendly "ego-less" environment. Right away I felt comfortable to train there thanks to my fellow students as well as the head instructor. The Muay Thai program itself is amazing. It is true, authentic Muay Thai. Over these last eleven months, I have felt my Thai boxing skill improve drastically. We are taught to properly hold pads (which is an art-form in and of itself), as well as how to properly spar without the worry of getting injured! Each class is different from the previous one, which is great for us students as it always keeps us on our toes knowing that every day will be something new and exciting. Advantage Fitness' conditioning classes are amazing as well. Though I have only attended a handful of these, it is amazing how awesome you feel after completing the rigorous yet fun circuit exercises. I recommend Advantage Fitness to anyone of any age, and any skill level. If you're looking to just get in shape, or to learn the art of Muay Thai in the true Thai way, this is the place to be!

Advantage is honestly the best. The coaches here take you as you are, and work to bring you to a new level. They understand the condition you bring yourself to the gym in. They match you up with the right people that will help you grow. They push you just enough to challenge you but not hard enough to discourage you. The wheels are always turning with these guys and they' have your best interest in mind while constantly leveling up the gym and themselves too. I always leave in better shape than when I came in. The work out is killer, the gym is clean, and organized because they care about it all. You wanna work with people who care. The people are welcoming and friendly, but more importantly, driven. Everybody is in a competition with only themselves, and it shows. I love this place!

Kyle McKenzie

Inspired and motivated to attend every class. Adrian and Meagan are professional, highly knowledgeable and constantly ensure your "doing things right" without making you feel self conscious. I haven't felt this fit or strong in a long time ~ it gives me the opportunity to keep up with my very active teenage boys on the slopes or hiking in the mountains!

Toni Trevisan

Adrian's classes are unique and they are never 2 the same. He is full of energy and makes you push yourself to be the best you can be. Throughout the class, he is always available to help you and encourages you to keep persevering. I always enjoy going to his classes and he has made me enjoy fitness that much more.
