I am new to Vancouver, how do I pick a gym?

Pick by neighbourhood first, then by schedule, then by coaching. Shortlist gyms you can reach in fifteen minutes, check their class times against your working week, and trial two of them. Avoid signing an annual contract until you have trained somewhere for a month.

This is a direct answer from the CrossFit BC coaching team. Short version first, then the detail and the local context for training in Vancouver. If you want the same answer applied to your own situation, a coach will walk through it with you in person.
