Reviews of Griffins Boxing & Fitness (Gym)

Natalie Nejedla

There's no place like Griffins!

Katrina Juwono

This was a fantastic experience! Got to try it out twice because of ClassPass and had both classes with Dan. He was super nice and helpful since I had never done anything boxing before. Was able to rent out wraps and gloves for $5 each time. Class was intense but fun. Sore for days afterwards but so worth. Would love to join permanently when I have more disposable income.

The most welcoming and dedicated team I’ve met! Super friendly coaches and members. The training facility is top tier.

Trevor Kilian

Coach Nick is great! I am starting from scratch at 43 years of age and I love it! Nick has been persistent and patient with my learning process. Upfront, reception team is very friendly and courteous. They are very understanding if I need to make a change to my schedule. Griffins is absolutely the right place for me to learn how to box! Thanks Coach Nick!!! I look forward to punching you in the head ;)

Griffins is fun, fast paced and SO CHALLENGING. Their boxfit classes are the best workouts I've ever experienced -- and different every time, so your muscles never know what hit them.

James Lutes

At 38 years old I have NEVER been able to find a workout that's actually fun. Enter Griffins Boxing. From the second I walked in there I was fully engaged. From the top down, every single staff member, coach and even members have been super helpful and make sure you're comfortable. I feel stronger, lighter, faster, more confident and overall happier since joining Griffins. If my out of shape, 38 year old butt can do it, anyone can!

Great gym with awesome staff, had a killer workout here and first time was free, totally worth checking out!

Andreas Lerch

Had an awesome boxfit class here, will definitely be back!

Parsa Bisheh

I walked into Griffins a weak kid with confidence issues and no real sense of purpose. Close to six years later, standing as one of Griffins’ team coaches it’s easy to say: joining Griffins was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

Terry Keogh

Personal and professional, I was welcomed and put at ease by excellent coaches. It's hard work but worth it.

Agustin Ibanez

Griffins is my happy place to go. I workout, meet some friends and have my daily dose of Therapy. It´s an amazing place with excellent coaches and a big Griffins family. Kudos !!!

Drew Campbell

Griffins boxing hired our company to install a new audio system for them. While doing the work at the gym I was so impressed with the positive and uplifting energy that the clientele and staff had I couldn’t resist becoming a member. I feel better for it.

Jeff Williamson

Sweat is just fat crying!!! Passionate and dedicated coaches and friendly front line staff makes for a great experience at Griffins. Dave is an enthusiastic coach who prides himself on sharing his love for boxing and fitness.

Diana Thomson

Great workouts. Great coaches. I love that I can bring my baby to classes with me and not put her in childminding. So cool to see the manager always there and saying hi to members - shows how much he cares about his business. Love this place! :)

vic ballantine

Our insecure, anxiety ridden kid, who never participates fully in anything, had the time of his life at his first drop-in class. He loved everything about it and begged to return.

Amazing lay out. Love the place

Michelle Me

My 15 year old son plays elite level hockey and wanted to learn boxing as a good form of cross-training. I asked around and Griffins was recommended by several pro athletes and coaches in the boxing and MMA world. My son joined and LOVED it so much he talked me into giving a class a try. The instructors were GREAT and I joined after my first trial class. I was a little intimidated at first, because I had been out of the gym since before Covid, but Liz made me feel so comfortable, and adjusted some of the exercises for my skill and fitness level, so I could keep up and not feel out of place. The owner is very hands on, always interacting with the members, and even took a few minutes to show me a video of an upcoming program they are going to be running specifically for hockey players. Today was my third day and when I walked in with my son we were both greeted by our first names and it made me feel like a part of the "club" and not just another number like most fitness gyms.

Brendan Humphries

Great technical boxing coaching and great fitness focused classes. Excellent coaching staff too... awesome gym, really has something for everyone no matter what your goals are.

MysticalFire18

Over glorified fitness class. Kids have to rent shirts if they do not bring one, kids can’t be late but the classes can always run late. My kids have commented at how coaches yell at kids, etc etc. Heard coaches making arrogant comments about parents. I think giving one star was excessive

Jesse Peng

I joined Griffins at a very low point in my life, and I’m proud to say two years later it is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The facility is great but it doesn’t come close to how great the people are in this gym. The owner Dave and the coaches Dan, Matt, Nick, and Steve have all contributed in making me into not only a better boxer/athlete but better and healthier person both mentally and physically. The best part of the gym is, even though it is full of talent (BC provincial winners and national medalists), everyone, and I mean everyone is welcome, doesn’t matter what your age, skill level, fitness level is, you will feel at home as soon as you step into the gym. If you love boxing or just want to be a better and healthier version of yourself give Griffins a try, you won’t regret it.

This place is amazing the boxing gloves are good quality and there classes will have you boxing like a pro.

Tamara Thompson Levi

Excellent coaching and mentorship for kids!

Karim Virani

My son enrolled for classes and within a few months I noticed a huge positive change in his level of fitness, his physique and his attitude. The coaches are brilliant and the facility beats any facility hands down. I would rather spend my money on a club like Griffins than on a run-of-the mill gym.

Diana Espejo

Griffins is like home for me and my family. We have great coaches who make our classes challenging and enjoyable. I am proud to say I am a Griffins member.

Pelly Clinic

Superior boxing and fitness facility. Dave Brett is passionate about what he does, genuinely cares about every person that walks through the door and helps his clients reach new levels physically and mentally.

Findhorn Bay

Excellent boxing gym. Great instructors. Friendly environment.

Aito Tereva

Amazing facility, large, well equipped and clean. Some great coaches as well. However the primary focus is on squeezing as much money as possible, not to train you to be a better boxer.

Abdolnasser Eskandari

The worst customer service ever; yet, the best place to get ripped off.

rojan ziaei nejad

Amazing environment & coaches! Griffin is my happy place and I highly recommend it to anyone that wants to have a fun intense workout!

Vanessa Gautron Rougeron

Amazing staff that have the safety at heart, and awesome facilities !

Mark Dear

Top notch facility. The staff makes the club what it is, great. The coaches are very knowledgeable and motivating. I've shed weight and feel good. My experience at Griffins Boxing Club has been nothing but positive, an inclusive environment without attitude. Keep up the good work!

IF you dont mention fixed prices on your website for all the reasons you have mentioned on the website,then its already a red flag..what if someone needs to know the prices before wanting to even put time to speak with a rep? EvERy single NORMAL gym has their membership pricing SIMPLY put on the website. Very normal and reasonable thing to do yet you have dedicated a whole FAQ section on why you dont have the pricing listed on the website? Lol..no..not professional Putting an edit: YES,first common thing that comes to mind about business professionalism IS transparency..yet again you put effort to sarcastically respond to this comment and still no direct response on why would a business HIDE their membership fees and have people CALL them..this tells a lot about the business already..pretty sure if you could you would refer to the good reviews but well who knows * in a sarcastic way just like your response*

Branimir Lazar

All through daycare, kindergarten and grade 1 our son was having issues with his peers. He was always in trouble. If somebody was playing with a toy that he wanted he would take it. He would push, punch, kick. Whatever it was he would always lash out physically. To be fair, a lot of this was brought on by anxiety. During this time his mother and I had separated which I’m sure caused him even more stress. Trust me we tried and did so many different things for him. From counselling to changes in his diet, we just wanted him to feel better In May of 2021 we decided to sign him up for boxing. That summer he went twice a week. In September we put him in for 3 days a week. One day he had a really good class and I showed him a video of him training. He became sad so we asked him why he was crying. It turned out that he was upset that he saw how hard he hit the heavy bag and was upset that he had hurt some of his friends. Since September 2021, grade 2 now, he hasn’t gotten in trouble at school for any of the things mentioned above. It has taught him control and discipline, both mentally and physically. He loves going to boxing each and every class. The coaches here are amazing. Coach Nick, who teaches his class is so good with them. I watch the owner of the gym, Coach Dave, train the amateur fighters. He is so in tune with them while working out. To be honest, all of the staff are really great there. The front desk staff are great and always make you feel welcome. If you are thinking about putting your kids into some kind of a sport I would say do it. It’s made a world of difference for our son in such a short time.

Elliott Magill

November marks one year since joining Griffin’s Boxtech program and not only have I found a new sport that’s more addicting every week, Griffins and the team have been absolutely amazing. Especially through all the uncertainties of the pandemic. You guys have played a big part in keeping me healthy - physically and mentally - through it all and for that I am truly grateful. Keep up the great work!

We went to this gym for two years, we only left because we moved back to NZ. Its been over a year and we still miss this place! It has something for everyone - whether you want to get a bit fitter or learn how to box. They take you through step by step building your fitness, confidence and boxing skills. The coaches are skilled boxers that will find your strengths and encourage you to develop and get better. The entire community is friendly, on our first day the more senior members came and introduced themselves and asked whether we were enjoying it. Such a fantastic place to get fit and learn a new skill. Can't recommend highly enough.

Toto Tots

It’s a super nice gym if you want to tell everyone that you box! (Without actual boxing part) Out of 60+ members only one or two of them are allowed to spar, so basically it’s a glorified fitness club. How can you learn to BOX if you only punch stationary pads? Also, it is obvious that some of the coaches are very inexperienced and might’ve never boxed before (not everyone). It is a very expensive place to learn how to skip. PS: The owner replied to my review - "as you came for one trial class". I was there for one full month and I was made to pay for two (they told me that they require 1 month notice to cancel my contract). Anyways, it’s not good to lie...

Laurence Gauvreau

The class was challenging (and I am fit) but very diverse, with lots of different exercises : it passed so quickly even if it was difficult. Could suits all levels of fitness because you can slow down whenever you'd like. It was my first time and the instructor was kind and patient, gave me time before the class to explain the basics, and corrected my form during the class . The instructions were clear. I loved it !

Robert Hannah

I am loving the online live workouts at Griffins right now!! During this period of social distancing, having the coach see me and encourage me through the workout is priceless. I am getting all the burn and staying connected to community. Great Job Griffins Team!!!!

Tina Jiang

I like this place no doubt. When I first time came Griffins I met Natalia who is so dynamic and friendly, I felt so welcome and warm. There is a big door that can be opened to let air circulate freely, whole place is clean and the style is cool. The coaches are very professional and patient. My son attend a summer camp in Griffiths then he decided to attend youth boxing training class regularly. I have a great time at here I am very strong recommendation Griffiths even my age is 48 I get too much energy and fun.

AMAZING PLACE! The staff is incredibly friendly and approachable (very knowledgable and accommodating). The facilities are spacious and well-kept. Coaches are dedicated and focus on training you with proper technique, grit and dedication. It's a fantastic workout too. Griffins has a wonderful 'old-school' vibe and is the perfect example of what a boxing gym should be!

laura carle

parking SUCKS!

REALLY GREAT PLACE! As someone mentioned before the place is 'old-school' and will teach you the basics properly (not a fancy wannabe gym). The coaches are amazing and the peole are very friendly! Its a fun enviornemnt and you'll sweat like crazy!

Stephanie Strong

The coaches, facility and community at Griffin’s is second to none. It’s an incredible space that welcomes and supports everyone, no matter their fitness level. The Griffin’s coaches and community members have supported me in helping my mom regain her health and strength and I couldn’t be more grateful! It’s also the best hours spent in my week ????????

Danielle Thiesen

All the BoxFit instructors are amazing. Clean beautiful location! Perfectly challenging work outs

Amazing lay out. Love the place

Myshsael Schlyecher

Griffins boxing is like joining an awesome fun supportive family. My daughters and I have gone there on and off for years. They are not joking when they say 'they change peoples lives'. It's a transformative place, because of the people that work there. They truly care. I highly recommend this facility and the people.

Amelie Hayden

If you are willing to join women kickboxing in Vancouver then join Griffing Boxing and Fitness. It is a fitness gym in Vancouver where people of all ages come for practice. You will see new moms, athletes, breast cancer survivors all together. It is kind of a community. I go to this gym and practice kickboxing. It is a stress buster for me.

Just knocked the door to check the price and environment. Gym looks little commercialized you can see lots of t shirts and gloves, bandage and trunks also some souvenirs like key chains at front I mean I understand, but also I’ve never seen that much of goods takes almost 20% of whole boxing gym. I had to wait 10 mins more to get helped even if there’s no one at counter. Two counter clerks talked each other even after they saw me. I had some experience of boxing with myself in S.Korea but it’s too different when I trained. Maybe because it’s Canada, it looks more social club than classic boxing gym. They asked me what program I was looking to and introduced there’s a boxing, and boxing fitness and so on. The boxing program was TOO EXPENSIVE. I really don’t understand who’s training here. I mean do they really train here? Or just for killing their time with friends and family in here? 4times per MONTH is 120. 8times per MONTH is 189. Yeah tax will be added here. Unlimited access is 250. I mean.. I thought Mayweather or Pacman teach some move here. It could be a great option for those who were looking for some cool environment to learn some new hobby but it’s definitely not a good for those who want some classic sweat-smelling training without worrying paying next month payment. Well, good luck.

Griffins is so much more than just a gym and it has provided so much more than just improved physical fitness for me. The staff and the members operate as a true community and as an outsider coming in this meant they took time to get to know me, greet me by name and make sure I was connected with others to help me get started. The coaches have a unique ability to meet everyone where they are at and yet still push you just outside of your comfort zone which fuels an ever growing desire to learn more, get stronger and be better. There are programs for all ages, all levels and the drop in model is practical for the changing demands of life. This also contributes to an incredibly motivating environment as there are always others to look to for inspiration and it creates great energy throughout the gym. I have completed my first year through which I've conquered three levels of the technical program, completely changed my level of physical fitness, gained friends and the confidence to set goals much bigger than I could ever have imagined a year ago. If you are thinking about checking out this place, don't hesitate. I can't wait to see you there! :-)

BEST environment, classes, and people! The culture at the gym is just Amazing!

Fernanda Lara Peralta

I love this gym! The box fit classes are a lot of fun, and the staff are very knowledgeable. What I appreciate most is that everyone is friendly and doesn’t make you feel bad for being a new boxer. I would highly recommend!

Linda Pidzamecky

Everyone was very welcoming, staff and patrons. Kira was a great coach and very upbeat! The workout was challenging, it was perfect! Thank you!

Griffin's has been a great experience for me. All the staff are very welcoming and encouraging no matter your fitness level. It's a great workout and it feels good to get more fit and more confident doing it.

Cathy Groot

4 years ago this month, I made the decision to walk into Griffins. By far one of the best decisions I've made for my mental, emotional and physical health. I'm forever grateful. Thank you for creating such a positive and encouraging environment for all of us.

Yasmeen Sadain

Amazing gym, great coaches, great atmosphere- always a new work out and some of the hardest workouts I have ever done.
