A different but fantastic place to get a sweat on, I went to Eric the owner and Shane's classes the most over summer because the workouts they did combined all partner, creative and intense exercises in one go that not only worked me to within an inch of my life but also allowed me to have fun and even make a new friend or two along the way. They're training is very unique which is why I enjoyed it so much as it wasn't your everyday repetitive HIIT class. I have not been back due to travel in recent months but plan to return when I settle in BC.
Amazing results after just 2 weeks; body was super sore but things started improving very quickly as I attended classes consistently over the next few months. Excellent workouts for novice and advanced athletes, highly recommended. Provided me with he cardio and strength boost I needed to scale and achieve my fitness goals. Amazing instructors and group comarderie. I owe a lot of what I have to Eric and his amazing team!! I urge everyone to try!
Urban fitness has the best group classes in all of Vancouver. I have been to many studios and this is by far my favourite. The classes are challenging, the music is good, the instructors are all top notch and will kick your ass! Also, the people that attend these classes are really cool and personable. Urban fitness has a great little community going and if you are new to fitness, this is the place for you
I've been part of Urban for almost 2 year now and my experience with them couldn't be better. Everytime I arrive with a goal they help me to set a plan so I can conquer it injury free and while having tons of fun on the way.
Hi everyone who wants to be happy, healthy and fit this is the best gym in town you can get results from. I have been a member of this club for 2 years now 5 days a week every week. With various classes to choose from and different levels of workouts with highly experienced trainers that have motivating personalities, I have never been disappointed. Trainers are awesome ,workouts are the ones that push you to your limit and help you challenge yourself each day. With making friends and enjoying out of gym activities such as participating in different hiking trips as well as events like Tough Mudder, Rugged Maniac and much more,what else can you ask for. With qualified trainers ready to help and answer all your questions this is by far one of the best decisions I have made by joining this fitness club. A big shoutout to Eric Marcina and team and keep up the awesome work.
I have been a member at Urban Fitness for a year and have truly loved the experience. As a working mom I love taking the 6:00 am weekday classes and particularly appreciate the variety of classes each day. The instructors are very friendly, super knowledgeable and extremely creative. I love that even after taking the same classes for over a year I still don't know what the next one will be like, but I can rest assured that it will be challenging and leave me feeling amazing. I've found the culture to be very inclusive and have become friends with a lot of the other members and instructors. As a group we push each other and often pursue challenges as a team outside of the gym like the Tough Mudder or the Grouse Grind.
I've been an Urban Fitness member for over 3 years now. I love attending the classes there; the instructors are very knowledgeable and motivating. I look forward to going after a hard day at work and seeing the friendly faces of the other members. Lots of variety of classes, you will never be bored. Every year I try to set new fitness challenges for myself, and Urban Fitness has always encouraged and motivated me to meet these goals.
The best fitness club in town! I enjoyed my membership for a long time now and since I took personal training with Eric Marcina I know for a fact that this is the place to join if you are seeking a real and effective result . Eric is extremely devoted and talented and frankly one of the best trainers with a very profound knowledge of fitness techniques. He will choose the right program for you individually for the most prompt results. I had an injury and was still able to train thanks to his knowledge and competence.
Look at their membership fees - extremely low compare to other clubs and the terms are simply great! I highly recommend this club!
This has been my favorite gym to go to on the West Coast, I've been searching for a gym like this ever since I left Toronto! The environment is fun and the workouts are unique! I'm a rock climber and already had a busy training schedule but going to Eric's classes in the am have improved my strength and I have seen a difference in my climbing level! I've been to several different types of classes and they are all a great workout! If want to see results and you want to be motivated to find a new potential, this is the place to be!
Great energy, intensity and so much fun! The environment is supportive and non intimidatingmake sure you like high fives! Every workout is different and you never know what's coming next but you're guaranteed to sweat, have some fun and get into your best shape everall while joining a fantastic community of positive people! All my thumbs up
After moving to Vancouver, I started looking for a different kind of gym. Having always been fairly fit on my own, I was looking for a gym that would help push me to the next level. I was lucky enough to stumble across the new Downtown location of Urban Fitness when the gym in my building was flooded and figured I'd give it a shot.
The first class I chose was the 6:00 am BEAST class taught by Eric. I was impressed by the energy and sense of community he brought to the class. He really wants to see each person succeed.
Having a bad knee injury, I easily get frustrated with things I can't do - like jumps - but Eric was quick to show me modifications I could do to build up my strength again. The thing that impressed me most was that the class soon became a safe space to do things I wouldn't have believed I could. The motto was always to try new exercises and to focus on improving every day.
My old gym is now fixed but I'm still going to my 6 am classes and I'm hooked. Give Urban Fitness a try! It turned out to be exactly what I was looking for!
