So far I like this gym . The owner is very responsive and there have been upgrades happening in the gym all the time. Part of me doesn't want to review so that it doesn't get busier :) but it's a great gym. The people at this gym are much better lifters than what I've seen at other gyms. Nice to be around other motivated individuals .
I've always loved this gym despite some of its shortcomings (lack of a few pieces equipment that I really wish they had, slow upgrades, sometimes feeling disorganized, and let's not forget the men's changeroom crisis of 2017) - however, now that Biago has joined Spartacus, it is truly a 5-star gym. The upgrades Roy dreams for this gym are happening more quickly than ever, new equipment coming frequently, and it might just be me but I think it's cleaner? It's cool what can happen when vision, resources and experience come together.
The owner has been actively reinvesting in the gym (renovations, new Rogue equipment) which is awesome. It's not a very big gym so don't expect all the fancy hammer strength machines. You'll get some free classes with the basic membership and a great place to do the big three.
Cheap and efficient. If you're any sort of lifter it's going to be a good experience. Others might not like that vibe, though.
I have been a member at Spartacus for the 5 years I have lived in Vancouver, and have come to realize there is no other gym for me in this city. Spartacus cultivates a strong, cohesive, and intentional community which has always made me feel comfortable and at home. This sense of community has allowed me to connect with other gym members whom I otherwise would not have had the chance to meet and learn from, especially as a usually introverted and shy woman. There is a diverse range of people from bodybuilders and serious weight lifters, to yogis, to elderly folk, to young people, to intermediate level and beginner level gym-goers. The staff are friendly and attentive, especially in keeping weights organized and the gym clean, plus they make sure there's always decent music playing. Equipment is sufficient for all my needs, and there is almost always floor space when needed. There are also lots of classes and trainers available should you need them. At this point I refuse to work out anywhere other than Spartacus, after trying many over-priced and over-crowded, unfriendly gym environments in the Vancouver area. This is the place to go if you want a community-minded local business and an environment that supports healthy lifestyles and positive change in a down-to-earth, non-intimidating sort of way.
