Reviews of Gymbox (Gym)

Diana Firican

I have been to many studios and gyms and have come in contact with my share of teachers and trainers, but I must say that the level of knowledge, professionalism and customer service I've experienced at Gym Box is the best I've seen. I also had an amazing body assessment, the most complete and accurate I've ever received. I recommend these guys from the heart and I dare say they're the best gym in Vancouver. You just need to visit once and you'll know what I mean. I rarely write reviews, but in this case I just felt compelled to do it.

A gym that knows how to treat its clients. The technical skills of their trainers are top notch and the gym itself is beautiful. Lots of natural light and positive energy. Feels like the gym for the everyday person looking to achieve their goals. Gibs has helped me absolutely crush my goals. Have not tried their lunchtime classes but the people I see doing them always look so stoked.

Great facility with some amazing trainers and a great smoothie bar. Ask for James, he's the best trainer I've ever worked with thanks to his in-depth training need assessments.

I have been a member for 8 months in 2017. At the very beginning I liked it very much. There are way cheaper gyms in the area but the idea of having a good place where to train, with happy trainers and some good tools, keeping it kinda "family welcoming" is unique, a great added value. Unfortunately it did not last for so long. Trainers and schedules where changing too often and without notice, there have been a disruptive turnover. Many personal trainers started working at the gym, so the space was reduced especially during the peak hours (after 5 pm to 7 pm) At a certain point, an area likely 20% or more of the total room has been reserved to CrossFit and guess what?I had to pay (extra) if I wanted to join the courses ! Of course the members of the gym did not receive any discount or "whatever" as a good sign from the management. After having expressed my disappointment via e-mail, when I went to the gym to discuss it face to face (Black Friday 2017 lunch time) , the manager, who was training alone 20 meters in front of my eyes, sent a guy to the desk to tell me she had canceled the membership...later on she wrote that it was her lunch-break, not understanding how insulting and disrespectful this behavior resounded to me. Beside the episodes, I want to underline that the promise of a nice and comfortable environment has been constantly rent out or made available to different parties which took over the room I had for training.

I would avoid this place as they are seem to be big scammers , they share a parking with the Indian restaurant but they locked out my car ,,,no sign that this parking is only for gymbox and no sign of hours of operation for parking lot , it's the same parking as Indian restaurant and there is no sign that the parking is dedicated for gymbox , I left all my keys and medications in the car and they locked me up .I will avoid a place that have no sense of humanity .

Been going here for many years. The staff are great, very friendly gym-rats here. Trainers are awesome! Price is a bit high though. Space is limited - but that also is why it's such a tight knit community.

It is time to finally write my rating for GymBox. I have been a member for 8 months and honestly I have been going quite often to the gym, I believe that the gym is like a "second home" and I am quite dedicated to work outs. My experience with GymBox was negative and I decided to leave the gym because of an important issue: I was not paying anymore for the service that I had at the beginning! Many things changed suddenly and without notice... Be aware of the following: 1) New types of classes and trainings are happening at the gym... BUT THOSE ARE NOT for the GymBox members but for external people! The manager likes to try new combinations of training packages, some of those are afterwards added to the regular membership but in the meanwhile you are asking yourself what is going on. The regular gym service is usually damaged and I missed several weeks of training because the gym was too busy for training sessions that I COULD NOT JOIN! As I said, those may ended up in the regular membership later but for few months I saw external people invading the GymBox space. Paying for a service you cannot make use of is not nice... 2) Be prepared to squeeze in a tiny small space. Sincerely the gym is already quite small and cannot host many members. The management keeps on pushing people inside and everything becomes very uncomfortable. 129.00 bucks a month is not the price you want to pay for this type of service. 3) There are very valid instructors at GymBox... But there is a big turnover. The best instructors simply leave after few months. If you are lucky you can work out for 2-3 months with the same instructor. For the rest , classes and times are ALWAYS switching. Whenever you find your best time for you it will get deleted/moved. Which is not really optimal for a training schedule... 4) And the most ridiculous thing: I found the management not really concerned about the issues I listed above. I have repeatedly written and contacted but nothing changed! As a customer, I felt quite unsatisfied This was of course my own experience with GymBox, maybe you can be more lucky. This gym is indeed quite hectic, you can experience a good period of time, maybe few months and than again some changes and "pains"... who knows!

Gymbox is such an amazing place to train! All of the personal trainers are personable and friendly, regardless if you're training with them or not. When you walk in you always receive warm greetings from Laura or Aoi. The energy of the room itself is motivating as everyone there is excited to be there. My personal trainer Vesna kicks my butt every time I come in. I have seen great strides of improvement in my physical health since training with her postpartum. As a bonus, she holds onto my little baby for me while I train... So I literally have no excuses and my little guy loves her so much. She is truly a beautiful soul inside and out! It's also great to finish your session with a delicious smoothie on your way out, as you get a bit of a discount because you've trained.

Great classes

Peter Kefalas

Place is not kept clean. Train twice a week and notice that it is never clean. Dog hairs, dust, dirt everywhere. Staff does not care.

Only started my one week trial and already loving to hate it. Great vibe, good people, best trainers and very very hard workouts. Killing me.

Kulwindar Singh

They are good if you are looking for a place that can also accomadate wheelchairs

Excellent service, top facilities, and a great vibe to the whole thing. I've been a gym rat for years, and this is my favourite gym to train at.

Bethany Would

Unloyal , did work with us and didn't pay for a video they wanted created . They lied and never paid for a video that we put Time and effort to create for them. I won't support them

Trung Nguyen

Was skeptical before joining because I didn’t hear good things in the past. But under this new ownership, things are definitely way better then I expected. Employees, trainers and clientele are all super nice and friendly. The facilities is clean and tidy and nicely spaced out. They have stayed ahead of the curve during these Covid times. There is a good variety of trainers and classes to meet all your needs. I’ve been a gym rat for many years and this gym meets all my needs. You definitely have to come check this gym out.

Haha so awesome to hear that I wasn't the only one not paid ! Good for you Robert! Have fun being a snake crook for the rest of your existence .

Jennifer Richard

they do NOT put the AC on ever, so working out in the summer is brutal and everyone just smells the place up. TURN ON THE AC AND CLOSE THE DOOR.

Darren Henry

Great community atmosphere! Awesome trainers and staff!

Michael Walsh

Great energy ... caring and knowledgeable staff ... overall a great place to get training!

Douglas Ritchings

Hugh is fantastic. Never miss a class.

Sylvana Herrera

So far the trainers have been great in all the classes. The music is aweful! Techno music?! Music is everything to a great workout, it's just as important to the workout. Feels like a club more than a gym because of it. Please stop the techno and consider more motivating workout music.
