Martial Arts

I moved to Vancouver in January 2010. As my new years resolution, I decided to try boxing, which I had never done before. I checked out/phoned some boxing gyms in Vancouver area, and got most interested in Contenders Training Studio. I took a beginner boxing class for free (not all boxing gyms offer free trial class) and decided to sign up right away because I LOVED it so much!! It's been 8 months since I started training and I have lost about 7 lbs. I feel BIG difference in my cardio endurance and strength. And now I have some nice muscle definitions!! If you are looking for good workout in Vancouver, you should try their class! Thank you Contenders!

Yes the price point is high, however so far this place has been worth every penny. The facilities are great, the classes are high quality, and the staff are passionate about what they do. Just like any gym, you will come across the clientele here that are nothing but annoying, and in there to grunt/look stylish/give you the stare down. Only difference is these guys also have a ton of money which elevates all those annoying qualities. Ignore all that, and you are in for a great facility. This spot is a destination, and not like other gyms. You can spend hours here if you want to. I hope we dont have to eat our words someday, but this place is pretty damn awesome. It is expensive, but cheaper than crossfit, and seriously those eucalyptus towels are FREAKING amazing.

Got everything my son needed for Karate. Staff is very helpful too!!

I know the instructor, at this school, He is one of the most enthusiastic instructors who care about students performance. Farhad D.

I love it here!!

My name is Hermann, I am a green belt and have been training at Kfitness Vancouver for 2 years now. What strikes me about the school is the great energetic team of instructors, the structure of classes and their style which is 80% kickboxing and 20% mixed martial arts styles. At Kfitness, one gets a complete training and it has enabled me to improve my mental and physical ability. As a graduate student, I am lucky to be a member of Kfitness Vancouver as it is the perfect solution for stress relief. Kfitness Vancouver is a big family and classes are conducted in a fun and friendly environment. If I had to choose again, I will choose Kfitness Vancouver.

I always wanted to try martial arts and at 45 years of age i finally got my chance! My family of 4 attended the free introductory saturday family class and found the Dojo welcoming and fun! The friendly instructors were patient and informative and the classes were exhausting , challenging and practical for self-defense. I was truly impressed with Sensei Amber Murphy as she was strong, confident, fair and taught important moral lessons and is physically gifted! She is a very special person who bestows confidence , honor , respect ,strenght and caring into all those she touches. I can highly recomend Don Jitsu to all those who seek to learn self defence techniques in a mixed style martial art with practical applications. I am hooked now and have been attending this fine school for 2 and 1/2 years and proudly wear a blue belt bar1 ! The professor Don Jacob travels to Canada from his home in Trinidad to perform belt grading every 6 months and is a uniquely amazing speaker , martial arts instructor and founder of our style! I love being part of the Purple Dragon Family - it is simply life changing!!

Great instructor. Knows how to keep young kids interested and on task.

Joining Vancouver Martial Arts was one of the best decisions that I ever made in my life! During my time there I learned so many important life lessons that will carry on with me for the rest of my life! The people are so knowledgeable and friendly; they become another family to you and the do jang is another home!!! Gaining a Black Belt is just one part of the whole amazing experience!!! I wouldn't trade what I gained from the Temple and Master, the incredible man who runs it, for the world!! I am so happy I found it and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a wonderful and rewarding experience and community!! 😊😃 I'd give it 6 or more stars if I could!!

Lots of experience good school . I never attended but i fought Kees students at tournaments and they were very good.My school was kind of rivals with Kees we kind of had a Cobra Kai thing going on lol. Our schools master passed away rip and the school just fell apart . Kees is still around verry good , good school!

My son has been loving it, and now I am too. Great staff, nice facility.

Great place where my 3 kids have learned to be more self confident and achieve good stamina and coordination through conditioning!

It's very good place to learn self-control, confidence, respect, courtesy, self- disciplne, and perseverance.

Great app!

I love the instructors and the staff. They're always friendly, upbeat and encouraging. Also, I love the changing room facilities. It really helps to have a shower since I like to work out in the morning before work.

I’ve run 40+km/week for many years and have had lingering lower back and knee pain as a result… never serious enough to stop running, but picking-up heavy loads or sudden movements could put-out my back, requiring rest for a week+ before returning to the trails. But Pilates Unlimited changed that; Monique’s approach of understanding my body limitations and my goals and adapting a pilates programme to them that has progressively evolved, has allowed me to be continuously pain free and increase my weekly mileage and performance. It’s been a relief and a revelation. I recommend pilates, Pilates Unlimited and Monique to anyone looking for personal attention in overcoming the wear & tear of the physical activity that you most enjoy - so that you can do more of it!

The staff is amazing, I had a mixup with my online room booking for a meeting I was having, and they totally saved the day and found me a room at the last minute. They were super nice about it too. Highly recommend the centre if you are looking to host a meeting, workshop or event.

Inexpensive but solid gym. Clean place with a variety of facilities and programs.
