THEY SAID WHAT?
""Friendly & knowledgable trainers, great facility and place to train as a visitor to Vancouver in our build up for the commonwealth champs. Thanks for having the NZ team train here guys!"
- Carli Dillen, New Zealand
"Great training atmosphere, top notch facility and even better staff and members. A hidden gem in Metro Vancouver." - David Kang, member, Vancouver BC
"I asked the owner Shawn to help me out on my compound lifts. He broke down the movement and tweaked my form on both squats and deadlifts so far I've managed to pr in both movements. Shawn focused on making sure you do the movement safely before you begin moving up weight which I really respected.
The actual gym itself has an amazing atmosphere everyone I've met there has helped inspire me to keep progressing. A few of my calisthenic idols work out there too and have shown me a lot of new ways to workout with my bodyweight. They teach a calisthenic class at 5 every Sunday and Shawn shows everyone proper form for bodyweight exercises.
Overall I would rate the gym
over9000/treefiddy but that's not an option so 5 stars it is. Keep up the good work Vancitybars." - Jesse Bray, Vancouver BC
"What can I say, if your looking for a gym with a sense of community, and where everyone wants to help everyone progress and succeed this is the gym!!!
The trainers are phenomenal, Shawn Adair, out of this world, his ability to see and break down any movement your having trouble with is unbelievable, he ll give u how ever many corrections you need and whatever ur trying do will be achieved in a matter of time. The other great part is that form and technique are above all taught first!! I will say with out a doubt best gym ever!! You ll have gains and gains!!! And even more gains!!" - Dustin Geofroy, member, Vancouver BC
" This is a real gym where they have plenty of equipment for free weight exercises, great atmosphere and community where everyone knows eachother as well as very knowledgeable trainers who are skilled in multiple aspects of fitness. If you're looking for a serious gym with an environment that fosters serious progress towards your goals, look no further."

"Words cannot express the amount of love and energy I feel every time I'm at this gym! So far each training session Shawn fixed my form for squats, started back off at 135 lbs but with his help and training I'll be back up too 225 easy!Last session we covered dead lifts. I've been terrified of squatting and deadlifts specifically because of a previous injury that really threw me off. I've been down in the dumps about it lately but with his help and a few tweaks for my form I climbed up too 225 did a rep with solid form. Tried 250 and my form was a little off only because the weight was too heavy.
Over all I feel better then I have in months and I owe it all to this gym and everyone there! ❤ if your looking for a kick butt way to start lifting properly @thebarvancouver is the way to go"
