I love this gym. It’s the most welcoming and empowering fitness space I’ve ever been in. These friendly folks are there to support you learning how to lift heavy stuff if that’s what you want, or to get strong in lots of other ways. It’s a small space but it has what you need. Highly recommend their weightlifting 101 classes. If big gyms scare you, this is the place to start. Super welcoming for all, and especially women and queer folk who might not find other gyms comfortable.

I both want to shout from the rooftops about this amazing, inclusive, super fun gym and want to keep it a hidden secret for me and my friends. But let’s go with the shouting method since we want them to stay in business. You can show up and just work out, or you can get engaged with the group and be part of the community, attend regular social events, get to know each other. Either way it’s a welcoming and supportive space and the most fun I’ve ever had working out.

This is the most inclusive and welcoming fitness space in all of Vancouver, probably beyond too. The gym is hidden inside the Sun Wah Centre (take the elevator to LG) but is WORTH THE EXPEDITION. There is a lot of positive energy, expertise and equipment packed into this spot.

The magicians that work at this gym banished my lifelong fear/hatred of aerobics - I now enthusiastically attend group cardio classes at Witness the Fitness. I have also had one-on-one fitness with them and I loved their Weightlifting class so much that I took it twice. I now confidently lift weights at a community centre 2-3 times a week like a badass. This place and the wonderful humans there have changed my life. Thanks, pals!

I am so happy that I found this gym! Shelby and Jenn are both very warm and fun. This is the most welcoming fitness space I've been in for sure! I have been regularly attending Shelby's HIIT class and I would recommend it to anyone regardless of experience level :)
