The CFBC credo

At Crossfit BC, we don't build bodies, we forge unstoppable humans.

We are more than a gym. We are a movement. A home for those who believe in showing up, sweating it out, and becoming the strongest version of ourselves, in body, mind, and spirit.

We're a community of Life Athletes.

Some seasoned, some just starting, all moving with purpose. Every lift, every laugh, every high five pushes us forward. Every drop of sweat tells a story of grit, resilience, and transformation.

Here, expert coaching meets real connection.

Progress isn't optional, it's inevitable. And no one walks the path alone.

If you're looking for a place where challenge meets support, where goals turn into growth, where fitness meets family, you've found it.

This is Crossfit BC.

We rise together. We train for life.

A real room. Real people. Every day.

18 years of coached classes, 7 days a week, in Olympic Village.

CrossFit is our roots.HYROX is our edge.Hybrid is how we train for life.

Strength, conditioning, and the specialty skills that sharpen both. One ecosystem, one coaching team, every path.

Roots

CrossFit

Strength, skill, broad capacity.

Edge

HYROX

Race-ready engine, coached by racers.

Sharpening

Specialty

Olympic lifting, gymnastics, mobility.

Outcome

A Better Life

Healthspan, confidence, community.

Six reasons people stay for years.

  • Coaches who actually coach

    Every class is led, not played from a screen. Form correction, scaling, the whole point of paying a coach.

  • CrossFit roots, HYROX edge

    Vancouver's Authorized HYROX Training Club, built on 18 years of CrossFit fundamentals. One coaching team, one membership.

  • 15+ HYROX classes a week

    Including 3 full 90-minute SIM-ilar race-prep classes. Pacing, transitions, intensity, coached by certified HYROX coaches who race themselves.

  • Designed for the next 40 years

    Olympic lifting, gymnastics, mobility, and a dedicated 50+ program. Training that buys you decades, not just a PR.

  • Community, not transactions

    People know your name on day three. Members carpool, run together, show up for each other outside the gym.

  • 18 years coaching Vancouver

    Ten years in Yaletown, seven and counting in Olympic Village. Vancouver's longest-running CrossFit gym, 4.9 star on Google.

How we train for HYROX at CrossFit BC

A hybrid model built for the race and for the next decade of training. Specifics on what a week looks like inside our Olympic Village facility.

CFBC Hybrid Model

What's in your week

  • ✓ 15+ coached HYROX classes a week, plus 3 dedicated 90-min SIM-ilar sessions
  • ✓ A CrossFit strength base: squat, deadlift, gymnastics, Olympic lifts
  • ✓ Running, mobility, and recovery built into the schedule
  • ✓ Certified HYROX Performance Coaches who race the format themselves
  • ✓ A Vancouver community since 2008 (Yaletown 10 yrs, Olympic Village 7+)

Straight answers

The honest answers before you start

What people tell us they are worried about before the 30-Day Lifestyle Reset, answered straight.

Motivation and consistency

“I always start strong and then quit.”

Motivation is a mood, so we build around structure instead. A booked class, a coach who notices when you are missing, and training partners who expect you carry the weeks when motivation does not show up. Consistency here is a system, not a personality trait.

From Dai's writing: How to stay motivated on days when you want nothing more but to binge on Netflix (2016)

Motivation and consistency

“I can't do pull-ups, running, or any of that.”

Every movement has a version you can do today, and that version is the workout. Pull-ups start on a band or a ring row, running can be a bike or a row, and the coach picks with you before the clock starts.

From Dai's writing: Overcoming the "I Can't" Mindset: How to Embrace the Power of "I Can" (2024)

Stress and burnout

“I'm too burned out to add a workout.”

It depends entirely on the dose, which is why we ask about sleep, work load, and stress before programming anything. On a flat week that can mean Zone 2 work, breathing, and lighter loads. Training should leave you steadier, not more depleted.

Tell your coach what kind of week you are having. Adjusting the session is normal, not a setback.

From Dai's writing: From Lions to Laptops: The Evolution of Stress in the Modern Workspace (2024)

Stress and burnout

“Nothing I try shifts the weight around my middle.”

Chronic stress and short sleep change how your body stores fat, so more hard training on top of an already loaded nervous system can stall progress. We look at sleep, stress, food, and training together before turning any dial up.

From Dai's writing: Your mid-section, why stress leads to weight gain (2015)

What to Expect in Week 1

For 30-Day Lifestyle Reset & Life Performance members

No guessing. No awkward "figure it out yourself" moments. Here's exactly what happens:

Day 1: DEXA + Nutrition Strategy Session + full fitness assessment

Days 2 to 3: Movement screen + goal strategy session

Days 3 to 5: First training sessions (scaled to you)

Days 5 to 7: Nutrition deep dive + habit plan

By end of week 1: You'll have a clear roadmap and momentum

The Week 1 Confidence Guarantee

Our promise to you. Zero risk.

If at any point during your first 7 days you feel like this isn't the right fit, tell your coach. We'll issue a full refund of your program fee – no hoops, no guilt, no questions asked. We only want people here who genuinely want to be.

Real members. Real classes.

Whenever You're Ready

The Hardest Part Is Walking Through the Door.

We get it. Trying something new is uncomfortable. Every single one of our members felt that way before their first class. And every single one of them will tell you: "I wish I'd come sooner."

Picture yourself 30 days from now. Stronger. Sleeping better. Moving without thinking about it. Waking up with energy instead of excuses. Part of a community that actually notices when you're not there.

That's not a sales pitch. That's what our members tell us. Every week.

"You don't have to be ready. You just have to show up."
