"The perfect gym to shut your brain off and work as diligently as possible for 60 min. The coaches balance the needs of all athletes very well; they help and cue newbies excellently. Everyone celebrates their wins equally. A real community the way they encourage and support. I am so grateful to have found this gym. What are you waiting for..?"

"I joined CrossFit bc in May. I had been doing CrossFit on my own before that. In April I did my first competition and saw some CrossFit bc competitors. They brought such a team vibe I had to see what they were about. Since joining I have continued to be amazed at the community they have built, everyone I have met is truly a delight. They push you to be the best/strongest version of you. All the coaches are great. I have just finished my second competition, this time with the CrossFit bc community and what a different experience it was. Highly recommend giving them a try!"

"CFBC feels like home. The owners, Daí and Christie, make a point to get to know everyone from a single drop-in to a life time membership. They have fostered a sense of community at the gym that feels welcoming no matter your skill level. The coaches are incredible, focused, and professional. They give great cues and know when to push athletes to the next level. I’ve been a member for the last three years and have loved every minute of it. The Hyrox classes are a fun change of pace once in a while too. My only complaint is that everyone else agrees the gym is amazing, and it’s gotten pretty busy; I can usually get into any class time I want with a bit of planning though. Can’t recommend CFBC enough!"

"I love CrossFit BC because it is incredibly friendly, inclusive of all body types, LGBTQ friendly, and is generally incredibly warm and welcoming. I've been to many, many gyms over the years, and this is by far my favourite gym experience. I feel cared for, listened to, encouraged and a sense of belonging. We are always encouraged to work hard, and simultaneously encouraged to listen to our bodies and do what is right for us. I appreciate that there are all levels of programming available — from level one all the way up to competitor — so we always have one of four levels to choose from. CrossFit has clearly evolved over time, and, unlike the old days, I've had zero injuries in the year and a half I've been at this gym. It has evolved to be much more focussed on functional movement, mobility, and injury prevention. While remaining very fun for such a hard, sweaty activity! The coaching has been excellent. Dai and Kristie, the new owners, are taking it even to higher levels of excellence, from what was already a very excellent gym. I really appreciate the warm community feeling at this gym. It's the warm hug I need while I'm doing really hard stuff. Highly recommend."

"I joined CFBC a few months ago to try out Hyrox. I absolutely love it. They have been so welcoming and supportive. All of the coaches are stellar and funny too :) The member community is nothing like I expected. No airs, friendly and real. From the very first class I knew that I had nothing to fear about signing up for my first race in Vancouver."

"I started with a Buddy Day Workout at CrossFit BC. Walking into a new gym can be intimidating, but everyone was warm and friendly, and the workout was modifiable for any level of fitness. That experience gave me the confidence to try a few Hyrox classes using my three free trial classes, which led me to registering for the Hyrox race in Vancouver this December, something I never thought I was capable of doing! The coaches are all knowledgeable and encouraging. I look forward to the workouts and love the community and camaraderie. Thanks Dai, Christie, Stephen, Jeremy, and Sasha!"

The gym is incredibly well organized, communication is excellent, and they’re always quick to respond whenever I have a question or need help. There’s an awesome environment and sense of community, and the support and encouragement from the coaches is constant. Dai, in particular, has been incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely invested in helping me improve and prepare for HYROX Vancouver.

Step 03
Choose Your Path
Most people either jump into membership or start with our 30-Day Lifestyle Reset for a guided on-ramp with personal training, nutrition coaching, and a DEXA scan. Either way, you're supported from day one.
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)
No Surprises
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
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.

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.
