What should a beginner look for in a CrossFit gym in Vancouver?

Look for a credentialed coach leading every class, scaling offered as the default for every movement, a beginner on-ramp such as Foundations, small class sizes where the coach knows your name, a welcoming community, and a location and schedule that fit your life. The single most important factor is real coaching in every session.

Do I need to be fit before joining a CrossFit gym?

No. A beginner-friendly gym scales every workout to your current level, so you get fit by attending rather than needing to be fit first. If a gym expects you to already be in shape, it is not set up for true beginners.

How can I tell if a gym is actually beginner-friendly and not just marketing itself that way?

Visit during a real class. Watch whether a coach is on the floor the entire time, ask what happens if you cannot do a movement yet, and notice whether members introduce themselves. A genuine answer to scaling and a warm room are the tells you cannot fake.
