Driftwood Athletics is an outstanding CrossFit and personal training facility with an amazing variety of classes for all fitness levels. The coaches are knowledgeable, encouraging, and really take the time to ensure everyone is moving safely and effectively. One of the owners is a physiotherapist, another was a professional athlete, and another is a nutritionist and that expertise shows — they emphasize proper form, smart warm-ups, and injury prevention in every session. The environment is friendly, supportive, and welcoming, whether you’re new to fitness or an experienced athlete. As a chiropractor, I regularly recommend Driftwood Athletics to my patients because I know they’ll be guided with care and professionalism. It’s a great community to train in, I personally worked out at their other location with similar coaches for 4 years and loved it :)

I had my first class at Driftwood a few weeks ago and I can confidently say that it was love at first class. There are so many reasons to love Driftwood but the main one for me is how welcoming Daniel and the community has been and it never felt like it was my first time trying CrossFit. I just belonged here. The programming is well structured and Daniel gave clear, concise instructions with repeated demos for me to fully grasp each move. As someone who works out a lot and loves learning, I’ve felt very engaged in my workouts and always wanting to learn more. I also appreciate that the instructors encourage you to work harder because they see potential in you and know what you’re capable of, even if you may not see it in yourself. I’ve left every class feeling very accomplished because these workouts are challenging but thoroughly rewarding. I also appreciate that modifications are offered as needed so you are always getting an incredible workout. The evening classes have been so much fun especially with Daniel calmly serenading us to fresh beats while I’m questioning my life doing a million burpees. All jokes aside, best gym I’ve been to in years, best workouts and wonderful community, looking forward to seeing it grow.

Driftwood's programming is well balanced, providing members with access to multiple days of Strength Classes and CrossFit sessions—something that many other gyms lack in my experience. The quality of programming for both types of classes is great, and I have experienced significant improvements in my overall fitness and strength at Driftwood compared to other gyms I've been a part of. The coaches are not only attentive but also understand the movements they're instructing. They know how to effectively modify workouts for individuals recovering from injuries or newcomers, ensuring that everyone maximizes their experience each day without the risk of injury. Above all, community is crucial in group activities. The camaraderie among coaches and members has made every workout enjoyable, and it’s this supportive community that gets me through the doors everyday. Well, almost everyday.

Highly recommend checking out Driftwood. I joined bootcamp with the goal of easing into Crossfit. The classes have been an excellent introduction, giving me the foundation and confidence I need for every workout. Al, Daniel, and Sam are amazing trainers. They excel at explaining complex techniques simply, while always motivating you to be your best. I'm already making noticeable progress in the short time I've been going to Driftwood and I'm excited to keep learning and progressing here!

Driftwood Athletic Gym – 6th Street, New Westminster I’ve been attending Driftwood Athletic Gym’s new 6th Street location in New Westminster consistently five days a week, and I absolutely love it! The coaches (Sam, Al, Daniel) are knowledgeable, supportive, and truly invested in helping you reach your goals. But what really sets this place apart is the amazing community — the other members are incredibly friendly, welcoming, and motivating. The Strength Training classes are my personal favorite — they’re challenging, well-structured, and always leave me feeling stronger. It’s a fun, positive environment that makes working out something I genuinely look forward to. Highly recommend checking it out if you’re looking for a gym that combines expert coaching with an unbeatable atmosphere!
