Reviews of Innovative Fitness West Vancouver (Gym)

Lydia Ventura Paterson

I moved to West Vancouver 1.5 years ago and researched a lot of gyms and am super happy that I found IF West Van. Keith and his team of trainers have created a welcoming environment regardless of your starting fitness level. You get a personalised approach which challenges you to meet and exceed your individual objectives. Every trainer that I have worked with is top notch and the only downside is that some of the trainers have questionable taste in music (just kidding!) :). I highly recommend IF West Van!!!

Training at Innovative Fitness West Vancouver is my gift to myself. Even when I tore my ALC, I didn't miss a day. My coaches worked with my physiotherapist to help me get full mobility and strength back. I like how each coach has their own style of training but still tailors my workout to meet my personal goals. The location is perfect for getting all my errands finished too!

Tyler(?) was fantastic for consultation, their nutrition and progressive loading in diff body focused personal training sessions were very well explained. I tried out the complimentary session with Cole McCara, that was a really good experience for me, very fundamental but solid workout! Also really fun guy to talk to! This guy is worth every penny

Innovative Fitness in West Van is by far the best gym I have ever worked out at. The trainers are among the most knowledgable in the world and the environment is supportive and encouraging. I love how it never feels crowded in there. They take great care in working with all their clients to achieve goals that are specific to that person, while carefully considering things like past injuries, schedules and overall lifestyle. No matter what your fitness goals are, I would strongly recommend Innovative Fitness in West Van to help you get there!

I’ve trained here for over 3 years and have seen and felt amazing results. It’s never easy, but gratifying after each session. Trainers are results oriented, focused and eager to listen to varying goals. A very welcoming and positive environment to push my physical limits in!

Mike Parminter

I can't recommend Innovate Fitness West Vancouver enough. The gym is totally welcoming and not at all intimidating. The staff and trainers are super friendly, knowledgable and professional. Personal training at IF West Van is awesome because you just show up for your 1 hour work out and the trainer leads you in a way that maximizes your time and makes sure you are working out safely and effectively.

Karen Stark

I can't say enough AMAZING things about Innovative Fitness. I have never been an indoor gym person, I love the outdoors and have always been doing my exercising & sweating outdoors. I thought I could get fitter and faster doing what I was doing, but I was wrong. Using Innovative Fitness and a personal trainer has changed my outlook on get stronger and being better at the sports I do. I not only NEED the gym in my life I WANT the gym in my life. Innovative Fitness and the personal trailers there are all wonderful, you can't go wrong. The programs they set up for you, the care and attention they put into the sessions is phenomenal, it's worth every penny! Keith Sharman has done an excellent job of fostering a great place to work for his trainers it shows in how much they want to be there, when you walk in the door everyone is smiling, having a good time..... makes me want to stay longer just to be around them! LOVE THIS PLACE!

Randeep St. Jacques

Met with Liam McCormick and he was fantastic. As he did the initial assessment he asked me questions and talked to me about why my body was (or wasn't) moving in the way I was trying to move. It was a great learning, but also felt invigorating afterwards - I worked out and I didn't even realize it. I was impressed by the non-pretentiousness of the place - it was really chill.

John Parker

There are many good gyms around, but Innovative Fitness West Vancouver is in a class apart. It's not the most convenient place for me because of where I live but I make a special effort to commute there because it is so worth it. Fantastic trainers and great atmosphere!

Catherine Van Dop

Innovative Fitness has highly qualified trainers who align each workout to my goals. They are skilled to understand that every body doesn’t move the same way, and design a workout that is effective. It’s a great and motivating community too who make it fun!

Eric Lyle

Awesome gym, great trainers and a super inviting environment to go work out.

Iain Morris

Outstanding personal training gym - training there 3 times a week since 2011 with 3 different trainers - all fantastic. The experience and fun goes way beyond the gym - training for and participating with the trainers in events from Berlin Marathon - Heli-Skiing -Hiking/Biking Adventure Challenge - Gran Fondo - there really is something for everyone. Highly recommended.

Nathan Vanderkuip

Innovative Fitness in West Vancouver is such a fantastic place to train. It’s a bright, clean facility loaded with great coaches who will challenge and focus you to help achieve your goals. Personalized strengthening sessions, targeted stretching and periodized training make it the place to help push you farther than you thought possible! As a physiotherapist, I’ve worked closely with the coaches at IF for the last 3 years. They have all been very professional, knowledgeable, and are always interested in what is best for the client. As a client, Innovative has motivated and pushed me to get stronger and fitter than I’ve ever been. I highly recommend them!

Chantal Hilbert

iF West Van is my hub for staying fit, active and healthy for life. The trainers are super knowledgeable, motiving and committed. There are many personal training facilities in this city but IF stands out as number one in professionalism and quality of service. Love this place!

I had a friend "drag" me to the gym in 2017 and I cannot thank her enough... now! Fabulous trainers, a very challenging program and loads of fun .. the results are phenomenal! I had not been in a gym in many years preferring my running and yoga - now my week is not complete without my weight workouts! Thank you all!!

My experience with working out at Innovative Fitness has been amazing! My trainers Stuart and Cole are very knowledgeable and always put together a great workout. All the staff are friendly and welcoming and I always look forward to my workouts!

I've been working out at IF now for about six months. The personal training sessions are fun, always varied, and really positive. I've noticed real results and I look forward to the sessions each week. Quality service.

Jennifer Hatton

Our whole family highly recommends Innovative in WV. For over twenty years, IF has helped keep us fit and happy. They helped us get in the best shape of our lives for our wedding, they helped me stay healthy throughout both my pregnancies, they helped us with our Physio efforts, and now they’re helping our teenage daughter achieve her fitness goals. Every trainer we’ve ever had, has been very skilled, knowledgeable - and a lot of fun to work with - which is important when you need to get out of bed super early to make your session! Thank-you IF!

Ian Downs

I have been going to Innovative Fitness twice a week for the past year. My trainers Stephanie and Erik are exceptional , knowledgeable and professional, i would recommend this Gym to anyone.

If you want to get fit, lose weight or simply just remain physically active then Innovative Fitness West Vancouver is THE place to go. Young, senior, together or separate, they cater to your every need. They have great trainers who are attentive, kind and certainly know their stuff. My weight loss, self-confidence and overall health have greatly improved since joining just over a year ago and I wouldn't even consider going anywhere else!!!

Adrian

I started working out at Innovative Fitness West Van over three years ago. I can’t speak more highly about the enthusiastic, knowledgeable and motivational coaches at Innovative that have helped me transition to a much fitter and healthier person. Each workout is unique and push me further than I ever would working out on my own. Give it a try - you will love it as much as I do!

Denise Duchene

Can't say enough about this gym. Great trainers. Produces results whether you are looking to improve your already amazing fitness or just get into better shape. Excellent facility - lots of light and energy! Give it a try and you will be convinced

Matt G

I first started my journey to being healthy last year and they have been very helpful and supportive. Great trainers who listen and get you great bang for your buck. I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking to get healthy.

Fereshteh Maghsoud

I’ve trained here for over 3 years, the trainers are very knowledgeable, professional and caring. I highly recommend this gym to anybody who wants to get stronger, and healthier.

silvia simpson

I'm not sure I could say enough good things about this gym. First of all, Keith (owner) is an absolute pleasure to work with. At our initial consultation, I felt comfortable and like I was in exactly the right place. He went through my history and goals, and took everything he learned about me and set me up with the best trainers for my needs. He also follows up with me almost weekly to check in with my goals and see how I'm doing, which I really appreciate. My trainers, Carla and Stephanie push me hard, while respecting some of my physical challenges as well any mental blocks I stumble upon. They praise me, and cheer me on.. but never in an annoying way and are truly genuine. They are so knowledgeable! I used to be in the fitness industry, and they blow me away almost weekly with their knowledge and skills to train. Very quickly most of the trainers in the gym learned my name, and I get greeted by at least 2 of them as I walk into the gym, every time. Feeling like I truly belong, and am not just another client/number. After every workout I feel amazing, and after being out of touch with my physical fitness for a few years I absolutely love going to my sessions. It is never a hassle, drag or dreaded. I LOVE IT, LIKE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT. I feel stronger each week, and my body is slowly getting back to where it used to be, only better and stronger. For as long as I can, I will continue to train at Innovative Fitness. Thank you!

Johann Burger

I have been going to IF West Van since 2007 - great gym, wonderful trainers and generally a fun place to work out! Always challenging, but always rewarding! Very much part of my lifestyle and routine!

Samantha Bosa

Best workouts around. Trainers for all abilities from first timers to pro-athletes and ex pro-athletes! Its like hiking Grouse. Its never easy. You just get fitter.

Carol Slater

How fortunate was I to have purchased a 3 day consultation and trial period at Innovative Fitness at an Experience Auction 12 years ago. I have been hooked ever since. The trainers I have had have all been educated and knowledgeable in Kinesiology, positive and motivational in getting one out of their "comfort zone" to try a new challenge. I peaked in my sixties and still look forward to every workout at Innovative Fitness.

Traci Draig

Great gym and great team.

Janice OSullivan

An incredible group of positive, knowledgable and driven trainers. Their enthusiasm spreads to give a very fun and energetic atmosphere.

Gunnar Eggertson

Hi have been at IF West Van for about 3 years and a have had a truly excellent experience - gone from out of shape to the strongest and fittest I have been in 15 years. The strength training is phenomenal with my two trainers Taylor and Erik working tag-team on the 2x routines I do every week to be "strong like bull" - this has greatly helped my golf game as well and boosted personal satisfaction. Above and beyond too - IF was a great help during the COVID lockdown with gym shut. Cannot say enough - fantastic gym, systems, equipment and of course very professional trainers - the best package and. have recommended two of my buddies to join as well.

kristie elliott

Innovative fitness is the best! The staff is very friendly, I always have a trainer greet me at the door and introduce themselves to me if I don’t know them. The atmosphere is great. Everything is spread out which makes social distancing easy to do at this location. I feel safe and comfortable when I am working out. The gym is very clean! I have worked with a couple different trainers and they are all great. Never had a bad experience with any of them. They really want to help me get better and approve as an athlete. My workouts are sports specific and are customized to help me succeed as an athlete. On another note, IF west van is a beautiful location. A 2 min walk from the seawall where you can go on a wonderful cool down walk and right down is Delaneys to get yummy food after the difficult but fun workout! I highly recommend Innovative Fitness West Van! :)

Jillian Pollard

The atmosphere is very welcoming and both trainers I've worked with are very experienced. Innovative is a great gym if you are experienced with working out and need some extra motivation, or are a beginner looking for a complete program and direction.

Susan Bilbey

I've worked out at IF West Van twice a week for close to 10 years and have felt my time there has been well spent every single time. The IF West Van trainers are experts in their field, friendly, respectful, and above all challenge and drive me to be my absolute best.

Yulia McCutcheon

I’ve been training at IF West Van since 2016 and I love it. I always look forward to my sessions with Taylor. He is amazing - very knowledgeable, professional and fun. He brings the best out of me every time. The workouts are challenging, well structured, focused on my personal goals and never boring. The atmosphere here is very welcoming and friendly. I feel like there is always new equipment to try which is exciting. It is a great place for fitness with a great team of coaches! I would highly recommend it.

Gail McBride

I really love going for personal training at Innovative Fitness West Vancouver. My trainers are excellent and it has made a huge difference for me. Very friendly staff, careful about Covid and efficiently run. I highly recommend!

clara Doge

Good staff ,great atmosphere .

Sherri Armstrong

I have been working out at this gym for almost three years. I was initially reluctant to go, because I knew my fitness level was poor and I had never used a personal trainer; I was worried I would feel uncomfortable. As it turned out, my worries were unfounded. The trainers are knowledgable, motivational, and passionate about their work. When I learned that I had breast cancer six months ago, Keith, the owner, along with my trainers, accommodated my exercise partner and me as I've gone through chemotherapy and encouraged me to stay active in preparation for surgery. Even though my training partner and I have different levels of fitness right now, Caio and Karla are able to make our workouts challenging for both of us. I really appreciate the welcoming atmosphere of this gym, and the ability and willingness to cater to individual needs.

Benjamin Wu

Awesome Staff and very clean environment. The trainers here are very motivational and encourages you to push yourself out of your comfort zones.

Rob Ellaway

IF has made a very positive difference in my lifestyle and health . . . the professional training and conditioning has made my somewhat active lifestyle (cycling/golfing/trail running/hiking) all that more enjoyable, in fact I attribute IF training to improving my golf game . . . since joing IF West Vancouver I have never needed to visit a sports chiropractor or RMT which I had done regularly for the past couple of decades . . . I look forward to every session and am stilll amazed at how fast the time goes during the workout . . . IF West Van is a terrific community.

Amar Doman

Being a long time client of IF WV, I can certainly say that everything is First Class to say the least. Everyone is professional, hard working and dedicated. It shows. Each session with Taylor DeVries is always unique and challenging. My fitness levels have come up in every aspect and I always (even if tired!) look forward to training. I would not hesitate and highly recommend training at IF Wvan. You won't regret it....rest up and get in there! AD

Chris Wilkinson

Keith and the entire team’s positive and friendly attitude makes you want to achieve your goals. I won’t work out anywhere else.

Pauline Yang

I’ve been going to Innovative Fitness for about 3years now. The trainers are all very friendly and relatable. It is the best gym in West Vancouver.

Nevin Brachman

IF West Vancouver; My 15 years at IF have been the biggest factor in a healthy regime. The investment my trainer puts into my goals helps me to feel sharper and healthier. This is a professionally run organisation that cares about clients successes and goals. The responsibility they have shown throughout this health crisis has made me feel very comfortable. Highly recommend IF.

Laura Wein

I highly recommend Innovative Fitness. My experience with them has helped me tremendously in finding my way back to a healthy routine. The trainers are very knowledgable and have a lot of experience which has given me the confidence to push myself physically. The studio is very welcoming and not intimidating which allows guests to feel comfortable. My trainer Jeremy is very diligent with keeping me on track and helping me reach my fitness goals. He also encouraged me to try a fitness challenge which helped me improve my diet and recognize better lifestyle habits.

Erin Moore

I’ve been going to IF for the last 3 years and have more recently moved to three days a week and committed to their 12 week nutrition program. I have trained with several trainers over the years and in the last 1.5 years have been motivated by one trainer in particular. The professionalism, support and knowledge has been incredible by all trainers. I’ve been able to create habits that I didn’t think were possible and reach goals that many years ago seemed hard to reach. I feel strong and healthy. I’m able to keep up with my kids and challenge them physically in healthy and positive ways. IF has felt like an extension of my family. The support and dedication to my health from the IF team has been fantastic.

Amanda S

I've been going here for a few years now, and have used a variety of trainers. They are very knowledgable and professional and they have a great facility. If their prices were more reasonable I'd give them 5 stars.

Sasha Duggan

Fantastic. Honestly, I wish I’d started here years ago. I’ve worked with several other personal trainers, including at the West Van Rec Centre and private gyms such as Equinox. Trust me, you’d rather come to IF Dundarave. The professionalism, level of care, and quality of training here are all wonderful. I also appreciate the ‘Train Your Trainer’ fundraising event that happens every year benefitting North Shore Family Services - A+ on community involvement! Right now, it’s great to see everyone taking safety seriously - all trainers wear masks, and so do clients except once in distanced pods actively training with their trainer. Items get cleaned before and after use. Things like this make me feel comfortable continuing to attend in person!

Sebastian Cortez

I would honestly post a before and after picture but I’m too embarrassed lol. they have changed my life, I’m in the best shape I have been in years thanks to the amazing trainers at IF west van ????

Claire's Alter

Before going to Innovative - I hardly exercised and when I did, I didn't enjoy it. Now I honestly look forward to going to the gym. The trainers push me and challenge me and somehow I have fun while doing it!
