Reviews of Playground Fitness - Group Fitness and Personal Training (Gym)

Mark Hutchison

I'm always knackered and full of endorphins at the end of a Playground workout. What more could you want? The energetic and helpful trainers keep things varied and interesting. Their virtual workouts over Zoom during the restrictions were also top notch - these folks are adaptable and committed! Go Play!

Ingrid Wang

I have nothing but great things to say about Playground and highly recommend anyone to join. I have been going regularly for 9 months now and have never felt stronger or more fit. Within the first month I was already noticing results and even after 9 months I am motivated to go because it's never the same workout. Aeson and his team are knowledgeable, motivating, and very importantly, approachable. The atmosphere is inclusive and welcoming to people of all sizes/shapes/age/gender. The workouts are super tough but you always feel great afterwards and never regret going. Again, I highly recommend this gym and I am really grateful for everything they do there!

Playground Fitness is a gym like no other. Aeson and his team are motivating, encouraging and driven to help you achieve your fitness goals. Each class is different and challenging. Finding a gym to top Playground will be hard, come try a class out if you want a positive environment to workout and the support to live your best life. ????

Paul

Love the vibe here, very friendly trainers, some of the best music in any gym I've been to, and always leave drenched in sweat with a smile.

Ruth Lavergne

Workouts are intense and super efficient. They pack so much into an hour. Even coming just 2 or 3 times per week my fitness improved substantially. Workouts are always different which is oddly motivating. Trainers are all great and keep things challenging if you're at the top of your game, but also accessible if you're just starting out. HIGHLY recommend. Update - in the context of COVID-19 they're offering online workouts instead. They still offer personalized feedback/encouragement and it's definitely the best workout you can get in your living room. Even if you haven't been to Playground in person highly recommend signing up for the online version.

Playground Fitness has everything you want and need from a fitness studio: incredibly knowledgable. enthusiastic, and welcoming staff, clean and modern facilities, varied high energy classes, and positivity and camaraderie from the other people there to sweat. All the staff at Playground Fitness understand your goals and motivate you to be your best self. They also easily scaffold exercises if you're beginning your fitness journey (go you!) or are injured, or increase the intensity of the workout to tailor it to what you need. The workouts change every day and are dynamic and tough; you will sweat! You will be consistently challenged, and the staff at Playground show you just how strong and capable you are. If you want to be fit and empowered, then definitely check it out!

This is THE best fitness group training & personal training gym I have been to. The team is so warm and welcoming, they really make you feel like you are part of the community right away. The fitness classes always inspire me to push my limits while at the same time having fun! If you're considering signing up, do it, it will change your life for the better!

Karina Mak

Playground Fitness has the best circuit classes! Each class is different and incorporates many different elements including barbells, TRX, free weights, ropes, box jumps, cardio, etc. But the best part about this place are the trainers. They are all very passionate about fitness and helping you build strength. They do an incredible job of curating different circuits each day, motivating the class, providing training tips and recommendations on proper form. I highly recommend trying a class.

Seann Gunaratnam

I’m new to Playground Fitness and I have been really enjoying the workouts through their online sessions. They always leave me sweating

Aarthy Ketheeswaran

Trust me- I have tried it all. Yoga, pilates, group fitness, cycle and was never compelled to keep going. But finding Playground was the best thing ever. The trainers are just amazing guys who actually care about your health and wellness. The classes are super fun and time just flies! I saw results which never happened to me before. I will be attending this group fitness for as long as I can!

Aska

I love their fitness classes! They encourage you, challenge you, and push you during the workout so you get an amazing workout while you are having so much fun! I highly recommend Playground Fitness!

Margaret Leong

Playground is an awesome fitness studio, one of the best I’ve tried in Metro Vancouver. The workouts are challenging but it really pushes you to do your best. The trainers are super nice, motivating, and helpful.

FY

Playground Fitness (formerly 88 Athletica) is the best gym I’ve been to. Whether you’re a beginner or pro, classes are always inviting, fun, and challenging. No matter your fitness level or goals, if you want to have fun while training for a better you, this is the place to do it.

Kevin K

Awesome place to get my sweat on. Feel so accomplished after a workout. Trainers are friendly and motivating. You know it's business time when the cowbell comes out.

Darci Lee

I’ve been going to this gym for over a year now. I LOVE the energy of their circuit classes and the trainers are educated and super helpful. The environment is welcoming and I always leave feeing like I got an EPIC sweat on. Highly recommended!

Desiree Lister

I've been to many gyms, boot camps, workout training for different sports (basketball). This is hands down my favorite place to workout. Every class is different, every trainer is so motivating and pays attention to you specifically unlike other gyms/classes. They play awesome music and Aeson is amazing at what he does! Highly recommend! :)

T L

Playground Fitness is more than just a gym...it really is a lifestyle. Each class is so challenging (my favourite is the Tabata class!) Aeson and his team are always motivating you to work your hardest while ensuring keeping proper form. They really care about your overall health and wellbeing. Highly recommend!!!

Mae Facundo

I love the ambiance. The trainers and staff are so supportive in helping me reach my personal goals!

Karin

Place is always packed with a great community of fitness enthusiasts. Great place for all levels at the trainers are always encouraging and friendly. My go-to to get a good challenge! Book early as it's very popular.

Sammi Huang

Playground is a place for you to push yourself, challenge yourself and discover your capabilities! Workouts are different every single day, and it never gets boring. What keeps me coming is also the people here! Everyone is super nice, especially the trainers! Aeson and Felix genuinely care about their clients. They are very professional and they never hesitate to respond to any concerns or questions you have! You can tell that they are very passionate about what they do and how much they enjoy doing it. Definitely give it a try, five stars won't lie!

Sydney Fellerman

Great for beginners who are looking for something more challenging and who need that extra push. The classes are very motivating and the trainers are very helpful with form and dietary questions. Prepare to sweat and shed that weight off, it's definitely worth it!

Xedric Claveria

I have only been a handful of times but They have great instructors and a fun atmosphere created by Playground team as well as participants! It’s challenging but rewarding.

Jennifer Wu

Found this gym through ClassPass when back in Vancouver visiting my parents...would go all the time if I lived there!! First, the space is well designed and stocked with great equipment. Second the staff and trainers are amazing, super welcoming and motivating. I was really struck by how everyone seemed to be on a first name basis and the tight knit environment. The vibe is intense and challenging but in a really positive way, they really push you to give it your all and show you modifications to tailor your workout. Definitely on-par if not better than some of the premium gyms/classes I’ve been to in NYC...highly recommended!

Angela Almeida

Playground Fitness has the best trainers in the city. They push you to do your best. The classes are very dynamic and interactive. I love it every time I go there.

Tamara Choi

Great place for your daily workout! Must do.

Wenoa Teves

They’ve been so awesome providing clients with online classes during this crazy time!

Ryan

Epic superset circuit training session. Shoutout to Britney for being an awesome instructor and pushing me to go harder when I wanted to lay down and cry ????

Kimmy & Nicole Parhar

They push you hard but also saw really great results over just 8 months. Worth every penny.

George Taraviras

Best boot camp I have tried, After a massive motorcycle accident, I did not think I would have much mobility left . After a few months of training there, I got 100 % of my mobility back my balance back, I can now even run. Thanks for making my quality of life so much better.

Deepak Jagpal

This place was just what I needed and was looking for! I was referred to Aeson by a good friend with similar goals as mine, be physically strong, muscular and lean. Aeson pays very close attention to exactly what im lacking and his workouts are specifically designed for me. Best workouts I have had in years. Great atmosphere and vibe as well.

Karina Chan

This is the only gym I've committed more than 6 months of my life to. Aeson and Felix are amazing trainers and their passion for both fitness and health make a huge difference in the way these classes are taught. This is the only place I've gone to where I feel SO GOOD at the end and amazed at what I've accomplished.

Ro Sarah

What an amazing find! Both the staff as well as trainer, Felix, had awesome energy. The class was intense but still manageable, and Felix pushed us collectively while being attentive to us individually. I was also impressed by the programming because, for an "Arms and Abs" class, nearly every exercise incorporated both arms AND abs, not just one or the other. I felt it was creatively tailored to be as comprehensive as possible and the flow of the drills was sequenced for efficiency. Not to mention the facility was clean and his playlist was poppin’. I’ll be back for sure.

Darius S

It’s an old and loud gym. Booked appointments twice, when arrived looked around for 10 min for the guys I had booked and then left home. The website is misleading. Prices, classes and most of other information is outdated and it was told to me by the guy over the phone taking my booking.

Girish Verma

Highly recommended if you want to get into shape. The staff is very knowledgeable and constantly encourage you to do your best. It's a very good environment to exercise in with rest of the members who show up. No exercise is the same every-time you go there. Playground fitness team will deliver on your fitness goals as long as you are willing to push your boundaries. 5 Stars!

Michael Mak

Friendly, motivated and inspiring instructors. Great variety of classes for those looking to achieve differing goals. Fun and welcoming atmosphere.

bob the builder

Great place to workout with awesome trainers.

Nitesh Sharma

Playground fitness is great studio if you want to see real results. I have recently tried the online workouts and so far it’s the best digital workout experience I’ve ever had. The trainers are all experienced, motivated and encouraging. I recommend Playground fitness to everyone!

Kim Garma

Trainers are very personable and full of knowledge. Great atmosphere and the trainers push you to your potential.

Gary Paul

Great classes. Great trainers! If your looking for a hard hit class, look no further.

Ian B

Eric is an awesome guy. Great workouts

Erica Leung

Great team of trainers who are extremely knowledgeable and help you build full-body physical fitness with an emphasis on safety and proper form. Accessible to all fitness levels, and as challenging as you want to make it - just get ready to work hard and sweat! Love the energy and community in this gym... Highly recommend!

Diane Rose Mapanao

Playground's new location is amazing. It's a welcoming place for anyone to go and get a good, functional workout. Great gym and awesome trainers. Definitely recommend trying them out!

Linda Phan

Highly recommend!! I tried their zoom class and it was so much fun and a really intense workout! I’m so thankful for all the positive energy they bring to my day- honestly the best part of my day after working all day at home.

Eric Tan

The trainers here are amazing! Every workout is challenging and pushes you to the limits. The instructors are kind and motivating as well! Hope you love burpees :)

Ravi Munday

For someone who hates going to the gym, Aeson and his team have made it an enjoyable and addicting experience. Every class is different and challenges you, the team is knowledgable and takes the time to ensure you understand the full aspects of each exercise.

Domingo Chiu, Jr

Best place to be when you want to be fit!

Diwan Restaurant

No matter what stage of fitness you are, this is the place for you. Owner and staff are all super kind, patient and understanding while at the same time fierce in trying to get you to your goals. Super fun environment, every class is different, will definitely challenge your body like never before. -Rima

sophie furey

Just tried their online class for the first time and really enjoyed it! Would highly recommend.

christa tran

Playground is by far the best Bootcamp and a place we call home❤️ Aeson and his team are very knowledgeable and they really care about you! This is the first Bootcamp that we been to that focus not only on your fitness goals but your general health and well-being. Highly recommend playground fitness either you are new to fitness or a veteran, the classes accommodate all levels.

Jeevan K

Playground Fitness is by far the best gym in the Lower Mainland!! Coming from someone who has tried everything from yoga to spin to other group fitness classes (and more), nothing comes close to the workouts you will experience at Playground. The trainers are extremely knowledgeable and so passionate about helping their clients reach their health and fitness goals. There is a great sense of community, with people of all fitness levels. If you’re looking for a challenging workout in a fun and positive environment, I highly highly recommend Playground!!!!!

T Sohi

Amazing place to workout using zoom during the closures without compromising the quality of the workout. The trainers are very motivating and the amazing music also helps.

S Verma

Been coming here for over a month and already feel change in my body and overall energy level. The trainers are absolutely amazing, they provide guidance and coaching through out the sessions with focus on good posture and overall good health and well being. The exercises continue to change and keep you challenged. Felix, Aeson and Victoria thank you for keeping me going!!

amy taraviras

This is by far the best bootcamp gym I have been to. Aeson is so knowledgeable. Super clean gym as well! I highly recommend this gym to anyone

Marcy Sellars

all classes are fun yet challenging! but that is what you are working out for right?! to challenge yourself, gain progress & meet amazing people? well this is the place. Ive been going to this gym for almost 2-3 yrs and have enjoyed it... theres always soem nee to learn, and workouts are definitely worth it..you never leave thinkin “that was ok, i still can do more”, you leave with “wow that was challenging, but im SO proud of myself for doing it!”. trainers/staff are friendly, but are there to help you get to where YOU want to be in fitness, the gym atmosphere has a family like concept where no one is secluded.. we all have similar goals and are there for the same reason.. to improve!

Pamela M

Great place for a workout! The people working there really care about helping you achieve your personal fitness goals!

Lila Dispirito

They do not value their long term clients.

Julianna Tsang

One of the best gyms around. Amazing energy and amazing instructors!! The workouts are always hard but always worth it!!

Sharon Hoekstra

Playground really makes you work hard. They have great trainers and fun workouts. No 2 workouts are the same. Doing a great job with online training

Jacki Lung

I have nothing but great things to say about the team at Playground Fitness. I’ve been coming regularly for about 6 months now, and I still find the classes challenging and unique. No two classes are the same as each instructor is given the opportunity to write their own workouts each day. They leave me crawling out of the studio but I keep coming back for more. The classes are tough, regardless of your fitness level, but 100% worth it!

I Irani

I've been to a few different fitness classes with different companies but Playground is different from the rest. I've never been pushed so hard in my life; this is a good thing! I am a beginner in the fitness world and after 3 months of training at Playground, I feel stronger. Aeson is smart as he comes from a medical background. He is passionate in making sure that we all have fun and importantly, we are doing the movements correctly. He's a good cheerleader to have. Try out one class. You won't be disappointed.

Will Fraser

Having joined Playground Fitness several months ago, I can honestly say from my results (having lost 35 lbs so far) that these guys really know what they're doing. The workouts are fun, difficult and constantly changing, and completing them always gives you a sense of pride at the end of each workout. The trainers are friendly but they will push you hard because they WANT you to succeed. Though I signed up for the classes and not personal training, they are also always willing to provide me with tips and tricks that will help me perform as a better athlete to maximise my workout. I can honestly say that this place has really changed my life for the better and I look forward to the next challenges in the years to come. Highly recommended.

Peter Hui

Your fitness class via zoom is very helpful and convenient as we can just do it at home. The trainers are very experienced and encouraging. I will recommend my friends to try it.

Lsto

Hands down the best fitness experience I’ve ever had. Aeson and Felix are encouraging, fun and very knowledgeable about fitness, health and recovery. They are both passionate about supporting and motivating their clients to achieve their health and fitness goals.The workouts are intense but very rewarding. I feel stronger, happier and healthier after coming here for over a year now. The gym has a strong sense of community and everyone is very supportive of each other and friendly to be around.

Olivia M.

Great instructors, professional, passionate and super encouraging Always pushing you to the next level Encouraging environment Workouts are always fun, interesting and never boring Great place to push yourself and challenge yourself Attentive to details, making sure you have the correct form to prevent any injuries Highly recommend !

Kim Kaila

Playground fitness has a variety of classes and knowledgeable trainers who can bring your fitness to the next level.

bhullar raj

I've only taking part and a few virtual classes. Absolutely love the motivation from the instructors periods are very motivating and they really challenge you to do better.

Melissa Beredo

One of my favourite studios to work out! The circuits can be challenging, but all the coaches do a great job of making the workout approachable and making sure your form is correct to avoid injury. So glad to be a part of this community!

Karim Walji

Playground has been an amazing experience for me. I've been going pretty regularly for the last 7 months and I can only say great things about this place. The trainers are knowledgeable in their expertise and are able to cater to clients and their particular needs. I would highly recommend Playground to anyone who is looking to transform themselves both mentally and physically. Props need to be given to Aeson. He is a fantastic trainer, a hard working business man, and an honest and kind person.

Grace Chan

Super fun and my favourite gym by far! Playground makes working out fun. The instructors are knowledgeable, attentive, and passionate about health and exercise. They keep the workouts challenging and push us to make that reach for that extra mile. Each workout is different, so you'll never get bored! Highly recommend if you're looking to try something new.

Aryan Johal

Best place to workout hands down! Was stuck in a rut for over a year, in and out of the gym. Came into playground and have already noticed more results in 2 months than I did in the past year. Trainers are very attentive and pay close attention to each person training. Extremely knowledgeable for fitness and diet, more than any other personal trainers in "big box gyms." Very positive environment and a place full of good energy right when you walk into the gym space. Classes are always different so you never know what to expect, keeps the body guessing and makes it that much more fun. Would highly recommend this to everyone looking to try something new, as they honestly care about your progress and goals.

Pamela Dolson

Playground Fitness was worth the wait, the training at this gym is so amazing. It’s intense, but well guided, it’s hard but achievable, it’s serious but fun, it’s consistent but always different. I’ve been a client with Aeson for almost 2 years and have never done the same workout twice! He always pushes me to do my best and I leave every single class feeling so happy I went. I’ve never been so committed to consistently working out until I found this place, and while being brand new to working out when I started, I didn’t once feel out of place or uncomfortable. Thank you for making me love working out and achieving results I would have never imagined!!

Flavia Lie Hirata

Best fitness studio! Best team! Best classes! Best atmosphere! Best trainers! Best hour of my day!

Sahar Sultan

Great gym w/ amazing trainers who are all full of knowledge and energy. Few trainers really take time during classes to make sure you understand the entire movement and are constantly checking form to eliminate risk of injuries. Their classes are the right level of hard and the right level of sore the next day and I love their online offerings.

Carmen Wan

Playground Fitness is a great gym. Each class is different and this keeps things interesting. The instructors demonstrate how we can modify the exercises so it can accommodate people of any fitness level. Highly recommend!

Tim Wang

Having tried several bootcamp training classes, I can say that Playground Fitness is one of the best. The workouts are tough, and the trainers are encouraging and personable. I had the opportunity to speak to Aeson on a personal level and not only is he knowledgeable on fitness and nutrition, he deeply cares for his clients and trainers as well. All around great gym to workout at.

Michelle T

Love the energy of this gym. Aeson and Felix are amazing instructors. Love love their classes. Best part is I can bring my baby to class as well. Definitely recommend this gym.

nicholas chow

Great trainers, classes, and setup. Highly recommend, one of the best gyms.

Connie Ma

Even when I took a break from working out, they welcomed me with open arms. Everytime, they take the time and effort to say hello and make you feel at home. I have been to many fitness places and nothing compares to Playground - the vibe, the energy, the workouts, the people and the culture. Love you guys!!!

Chantel Dong

The workouts at Playground are always challenging and always different! Aeson and Felix are very motivating, passionate, friendly, and are responsive to feedback. Felix knows when to push and encourage you. He is also very helpful with form and technique as he will provide you with feedback and then watch your adjustments and make additional suggestions as required. Also, you can really tell that he puts a lot of work into his programming and appreciates when you attend his classes. Aeson has a lot of energy and a lot of experience. Aeson takes his time explaining different muscle groups and the importance of proper form while he is demonstrating. If you like challenges to track your progress, you should attend his classes. When Aeson helps you with form, it helps that he often brings props as a visual or a box to make some moves easier during lift.

Jessica Chan

Would definitely recommend! Great atmosphere, instructors and workout. I always have a really good sweat here! Most recently they have had to transition to virtual classes and by far one of the most engaging and fun sweats I have had. The method they use keeps you accountable even though you’re working out “alone”. It’s surprisingly very challenging even with the minimal need for equipment for the virtual classes. Thanks for the awesome workouts! You guys rock!

Tuna Bear

Really great people and facility! I have taken some group classes at Playground in the past and they were always great and fun workouts, which led me to pick them for personal training after looking around for a place. Aeson is an awesome trainer - we’be been doing partner training with him for about 2 months now. We can say that he’s the best trainer we have had! For me personally, he’s one of the only trainers who has made me feel that I am working hard, but he also has a good grasp of where our limits are. He knew how to work with my partner’s pre-existing injuries. He is really dedicated to his clients and his work. We have seen a lot of positive results in just a short time. They also take appropriate covid precautions and make us feel safe.

Jason K

Amazing training from Aeson, Felix, Sam and the whole group. Amazing personal training

michelle w

Playground fitness is my favorite gym. Seriously best shape of my life. I’ve tried so many other studios, gyms and classes but the trainers here make any new person feel welcome. The people who workout here are also friendly! The trainers here truly care about everyone and doing good in the community. The workouts push me every day and I have seen the difference in my body! Never felt stronger.

Jason Mattheou

What an amazing experience overall. The quality of training was top notch, staff were friendly and I felt amazing after my workout

Veronica C

If you’re looking for a REAL workout, Playground is the place to go! It’s not for everyone, but I definitely recommend that you try at least one class (first class is free). I guarantee you’ll hate every minute of it, BUT the strangest thing happens…you walk away feeling absolutely amazing and find yourself coming back the next day and the next etc. Every Sunday I dread and, at the same time, look forward to Mondays class. Aeson, is a very tough but motivating trainer that challenges you every class so that you’re growing and continuously beating your personal bests. So if you need someone to push you and keep you on track, he's that guy. It’s also very reassuring that he’s extremely knowledgeable in sports science and always ensures that you have the correct form. Even though it’s in a small group setting, you’ll feel like you’re getting one on one training so it’s totally worth it!

Alison Cristall

Very challenging workouts but always very motivating. Great instructors and they have very easily adapted to an online format. Easy to access, great workout and a lot of fun. Thanks Playground Fitness!

amarra hong

Amazing trainers and their workouts will make you SWEAT!!

Amy Fermaniuk

I’ve never NOT had a killer time at playground. From the group classes to 1:1 time with their trainers (highly recommend Felix- incredibly knowledgeable and focused on preventative methods/ aboiding injury) this gym is one of my favourite places to get sweaty!

Nancy Nguyen

I finally found a gym that works for me. This place is an amazing facility with great trainers and an awesome atmosphere. Playground has a variety of classes: bootcamp, barre, tabata, lift, abs and arms. I guarantee you’ll SWEAT and you’ll NEVER, EVER do the same routine. I always feel motived by the trainers. They want you to succeed but you need to want it more to achieve your goals. They will make you work hard. The trainers at Playground Fitness are knowledgeable and make sure you have the correct form before moving forward. Ever since I joined, roughly four months ago now, I feel stronger and find myself returning to the gym even when I am sore from yesterday’s class. I highly recommend Playground Fitness.

Mikayla Hong

The workouts here are great - super motivating and challenging!

Adrian C

Awesome spot for group fitness. Trainers are very attentive. They make you feel welcomed. Intense classes but they give you alternatives for beginners. I highly recommend!

Gina Swamy

The best workouts ever! The instructors are absolutely amazing, they make you feel good, strong and so confident as well as make you feel the Burn! Love this place! I’ve never felt better about myself until I joined this class.

Nickie Dukhia

Great workouts & great trainers!

Tina Jagpal

If you are looking to take your fitness to the next level - look no further, Playground Fitness is the place to be. Aeson is an amazing training with so much knowledge, and he brings great engery to each session. Whether it’s one on one sessions or group classes you are looking for, you will not be disappointed— Aeson takes the time to get to know you and ur fitness goals. If you want a good butt kicking this is the place to be ????

Lisa Chan

Playground Fitness has the best classes by far and I've been to my fair share of fitness classes at other places. The trainers will come around and correct your form and help you. This is something that I don't see often from my past experiences elsewhere. I've been a client of the studio for almost two years now (since 88 Athletica) and I immediately fell in love with their classes. The classes are always challenging and it's always different. I've been pushed to do things I never thought was possible for myself and it's left me wanting to do more as my accomplishment has further motivated me. I took a break during my pregnancy and the first person that came to mind to whip me back into shape was Aeson. He's patient, passionate, humble and best of all pre/post natal certified. If you're looking for a personal trainer then I highly recommend him and if not then try out one of their classes and you won't be disappointed!

Melanie M

Absolutely amazing upbeat unique gym! As soon as you walk in you instantly feel happy vibes from everyone! Awesome pumped music for when classes are in session! They do alot of work with the community :) All the staff are attentive kind and helpful. They thoroughly make sure everyone is looked after! All fitness levels are welcomed for the classes! I was lucky to sit and watch Sam's whole class! :) She was wonderful transparent attentive focused on the class as well as each individual amazing multitasking skills you can tell she is living in her passion! Thank You Playground Fitness for the visit today I absolutely enjoyed my time here!

Rina Dhillon

Joining Playground Fitness was one of the best decisions I made for my health. I joined late 2016 and have seen amazing results since. I have lost inches, created muscle definition, and overall gained knowledge on how to maintain the health of my body. I have tried boot camp classes at other places and nothing beats this place and that is why I keep going back. The trainers are great and motivating and you get one on one attention. The atmosphere at Playground Fitness is super welcoming and friendly. I would highly recommend Playground Fitness to anyone who is looking to get fit and healthy.
