Question 1

How much does personal training cost in Vancouver?

Accepted Answer

Quality 1-on-1 personal training in Vancouver typically runs $90 to $160 per hour-long session depending on coach credentials and facility. CrossFit BC's PT starts at $135 per session as a drop-in, with discounts via our Guided ($599/mo) and Accelerator ($999/mo) memberships that bundle unlimited classes with weekly or twice-weekly PT.

Question 2

What should I look for in a personal trainer in Vancouver?

Accepted Answer

Four things: credentials (CrossFit Level 2, USA Weightlifting, HYROX Performance Coach, Precision Nutrition, or NSCA), programming that is written for you and reviewed weekly, coverage of nutrition and recovery alongside training, and a properly insured facility with the equipment your goal requires. Ask any trainer to walk you through how they would build your first 8 weeks.

Question 3

Do I need a gym membership to do personal training at CFBC?

Accepted Answer

No. We offer drop-in PT for clients who only want 1-on-1 coaching. Most clients eventually bundle PT into a Guided or Accelerator membership for the better per-session rate plus unlimited classes, but it is not required.

Question 4

Where is CrossFit BC located?

Accepted Answer

278 East 1st Avenue in Vancouver's Olympic Village neighbourhood. We are a 5-minute walk from Main Street-Science World SkyTrain, with bus stops within a block. Free street parking, secure bike storage, and showers on site.

Question 5

What neighbourhoods do you serve?

Accepted Answer

PT clients come in from Olympic Village, Mount Pleasant, Yaletown, Fairview, Cambie, Kitsilano, Downtown, the West End, East Vancouver, Strathcona, and even the North Shore via SeaBus and SkyTrain. The Main Street SkyTrain stop makes us highly accessible without a car.

Question 6

Can a personal trainer help with weight loss?

Accepted Answer

Yes, when training is paired with nutrition and lifestyle coaching. At CFBC, PT for body composition usually combines a strength + conditioning program, Precision Nutrition coaching, quarterly DEXA scans for objective tracking, and the 30-Day Lifestyle Reset framework for habit work. Training alone moves the needle slowly; training plus nutrition moves it fast.

Question 7

Do you train older adults and beginners?

Accepted Answer

Yes, both. About 30% of CFBC's PT roster is over 50, and we run a dedicated Living Legends program for the 55+ athlete. Coaches are trained to scale around joints, prior injuries, recovery needs, and recovery from surgery. Beginners start with a movement screen and Foundations-style progressions before adding load.

Question 8

Can I do HYROX-specific personal training?

Accepted Answer

Yes. CFBC is Vancouver's official HYROX Training Club with HYROX Performance Coaches and all 8 race stations on site. Race-prep PT is one of our most-requested programs and covers pacing, transitions, run-walk strategy, and station efficiency, scaled to whichever division (Open, Pro, Doubles, Relay) you are training for.

Question 9
