Group Strength Training Classes in East Vancouver

These aren't typical bootcamp classes - we focus on building real strength with barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells and bodyweight movements in a supportive, non-intimidating environment. A great addition to add to your weekly fitness routine.

  • Cost for the class is $25 (First class is free)

  • Currently: Sundays at 9:30AM

  • Anyone nervous about starting at a big commercial gym

  • Recreational athletes preparing for ski season, hiking, or just staying strong

  • Busy professionals who need scheduled training times to actually show up

  • People who've tried gyms before and felt lost or intimidated

  • Max 8-10 people per class means you get real coaching, not just a follow the screen workout

Frequently Asked Questions about Group classes

  • No. We can scale every exercise to your current level and modify if you are dealing with any injuries.

  • We have yet to make an online booking system, so if you are interested in joining, reach out via email and I can add you to the google calendar invite each week!

  • Neither. We focus on functional strength training. No olympic lifting knowledge required and no endless amount of burpees. Just foundational strength movements and occasionally a cardio finisher at the end.

  • East Van barbell is located at 1356 E Frances Street in East Vancouver. Just between Clark and Commercial Drive. Close to all the breweries for a hoppy IPA after the workout or Earnest Ice Cream if that’s more your cup of tea.

  • We do try our best in class to provide everyone with as much coaching as possible, but with more members its always a bit harder. So if you would like a more full service approach you can always check out our personal training options
