Beyond Boxing

Uninviting, unfriendly and unwelcoming. I've never done boxing before and the website sounded very promising. I booked a class that on their website says it great for beginners. I get there and immediately feel uncomfortable. No reception desk or anywhere talk to to staff to help get me. There was a class in session so I waited awkwardly not knowing what to do with myself. I only spotted one staff member and they visibly noticed me and after the class he just disappeared so I never got a chance to speak with him. So I asked someone who wasn't staff for help and she informed me this class was for more advance members. Even tho on there website is stated it was great for beginners. And she pointed to a big dude that was intensely in the middle of working out boxing and said that the teacher. Still NO STAFF IN SITE. I honestly had no idea what to do and felt so uncomfortable and out of place. I ended up leaving before the class started. If you are new to boxing DO NOT COME HERE. NOBODY WILL HELP YOU. Terrible experience.

I moved to BC around 5 years ago and came from an old school, no frills kind of gym that operated fully in a not-for-profit capacity. My coaches and training partners were family- and we were all there for the simple fact that we love the sport of boxing, nothing more and nothing less- it’s been a struggle to find a club that matched that energy here in the GVA, and Beyond Boxing has finally given me a new place to call home. I fell in love with a gruelling first workout- but I keep coming back for the people. Great coaches, who know the right balance of support and pressure to keep you on your toes and trying your best. Everyone is so friendly and so welcoming it’s been easy for even an introverted person like myself to feel completely at ease and at home. Thanks Robin and everyone else in the Beyond Boxing family, happy to have found my way to you.

Long appreciation post ahead because Beyond Boxing deserves it:)
When you hear the word boxing, at some point it feels like intimidating, right? Like as for me, I have never tried boxing ever before so I was so hesitant and scared to join any boxing classes for fear that I might not be able to cope up. But thankfully, I landed at Beyond Boxing. The first time, I already felt like a part of the family. All the participants are very welcoming, friendly and will never let you feel like a beginner at all. They even gave helpful tips on how boxing have helped and changed their whole physical, emotional and mental well-being. Pranav, the coach is very supportive, motivates and really teaches you the right way to do it. He is by far the best coach I know. Fast forward to now, it feels incomplete not having attend a class in a week. Thank you, Beyond Boxing for all that you do. To Infinity and Beyond Boxing!

Have been coming here for a few weeks now and I am really enjoying it. I’ve taken classes led by both Jimmy and Artem and they work you hard with great instruction. Would definitely recommended Beyond Boxing for someone looking for a fun boxing workout or looking to improve their skills!

I have been a member of Beyond Boxing family for a couple years now and this gym is truly a gem! If you are looking to have a great work-out or sharpen your boxing skills, look no further. This gym has very knowledgeable instructors with extensive background not only in boxing but also overall strength and conditioning.

I would highly recommend this gym to anyone who is interested in the sweet science!

Beyond boxing is an amazing local gym in Burnaby. It has a very welcoming and friendly environment. The head coach Robin is great. He is always looking out for you and giving tips on what you can approve on in the ring. All the members and coaches makes you feel comfortable and at home.

A hidden gem in North Burnaby, Beyond Boxing is a fantastic gym for both novices and those with boxing experience. Artem's technical boxing classes are a particular highlight, with challenging but accessible workouts and great coaching. Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7: 30 are a highlight of my week!

An amazing gym for all levels. I have been visiting Beyond Boxing for past two years. Every coach I have met is super friendly and encouraging with positive vibe. I will definitely recommend the gym to anyone who would like to get into boxing or just working out in general:)

Great classes, I love that every coach is a little different in their teachings so it never gets boring or stagnant.

Great coaching, whether you're looking for one on one or group classes. Shouts to Trevor for your thorough teaching style. Friendly atmosphere. Plan on staying here for a long time!

I first came here on ClassPass and loved it so much I had to buy a membership! They don't take themselves too seriously (too many trainers out there think they are god's gift to mankind LMAO), but the classes here are HARD (in a good way) and their members are tough as nails! Everyone is so friendly and supportive; it is like one big happy family. I haven't tried all the different classes that they have here but Robin's EDM playlist is just the sweetest thing out of all the studios I've been to in Vancouver!

Been coming here since July now, and I absolutely love it! You will leave drenched in sweat every time. I've lost ~20lbs since I started! The community is great, and so are all the coaches! Caught the boxing bug since coming here, and now I'll look like a lunatic wherever I am and find myself shadow boxing in my car, at home, or in public.

Shoutout to all the coaches I've had the pleasure of having a class with (Artem, Pranav, Jimmy, Trevor). Artem's classes are a personal favourite. He will help you refine your technique and footwork, while also drilling in the fundamentals. Pranav will nail down your conditioning, and make sure you leave the boxing studio drenched. Jimmy's classes will always have you leaving with more boxing knowledge, learning boxing tactics and improving techniques. Trevor will teach you the sweet science of boxing, reinforcing fundamentals, while also giving you the perfect tips and tricks. Haven't had the chance to try out some of the other coaches classes, but I'm sure they're all lovely too!

If you're still on the fence about joining, take the leap and join! The price may be a deterrent for some (as it was for me in the beginning), but I have zero regrets since joining. As a matter of fact, I wish I joined sooner! It's an investment in your own health! I urge everyone to try out a single class! And they often offer up to 30% off, which is some major savings!

Thank you to the coaches and community at Beyond Boxing!

Oh man I just love this place and wanna spend my time here everyday. Ppl here are super friendly as u can imagine coaches are super professional and nice. If you looking for somewhere to start you workout program. Beyond Boxing is the one and the only one.
I would totally recommend here to all of my friends

Great experience and coaches! Classes focus on various aspects of conditioning and coaches keep the routines challenging but interesting

I just love this place so much. It's only been my sixteenth class so far but I have already noticed some changes in my body. I go there every day, it's my thing now. I’m definitely gonna join the sparring class in the future. The coaches were great. I can tell that they were professional and enthusiastic about their job. I also met some amazing people there, one of them even became my new bestie lol. Boxing has changed me so much. It made me stronger, braver, happier, and more positive. I would recommend Beyond Boxing to all my friends

I love coming here. The workouts are amazing and the trainers are even better. It definitely becomes a community where everyone is just cheering each other on. Do try Robin's "Easy Day", it'll be one to remember.: D

Excellent Personified. The instructor is amazing. He is a professional fighter. He is caring and takes the time to treat everyone with personal attention. I highly recommend this gym. If you want to get in shape, learn how to defend yourself or thinking of going pro, this is the place to be. Best Boxing gym in Morris County.

The staff at Beyond Boxing care about each and every member on a personal level, everyone is friendly and approachable. Head Coach Robin has created an ideal space for people to get into fighting shape while learning about the Sweet Science.

I love beyond boxing! It helped so much to get me fit and I just love boxing! Me and my dad go a lot and we love it! This is coming from a kid so any kid would love and adults to. It is also very family friendly. Highly recommend this boxing gym.

I had the goal to start 2021 at a better fitness state than 2020 and Beyond Boxing has helped me achieve and sustain that goal. From the very beginning of stepping foot into their facility, the staff made me feel comfortable. They were approachable, knowledgeable and I could tell they were passionate about health and fitness. The workouts pushed my body BUT I have never felt better. With each class I feel the improvements as I'm slowly introduced to new techniques every week. The coaches are incredible motivators that pay attention to your strengths and help you improve your weaknesses. You can tell I love it because going 2 days out of the week does not feel like enough for me! Thank you Robin, Mindy, Pranav and Artem!

Excellent, safe environment with top level coaches. If you are serious about boxing and fitness, this is the place for you.

My favourite time of the week is going to Beyond Boxing, being around good energy, having a great coach, and taking out all of my stress and problems on the punching bag. I also love that I'm becoming stronger and more skilled with the art of boxing and cannot wait to keep growing and improving!

Oh man, tonight was my first time back after like a 6month break. Robin amd the crew were so nice and they eased me into the sparring session! Talk about throwing someone into the fire hahaha. Anyways, it was a good workout. Good for relieving 2020 away aka The Longest Year

The owner is quite possibly the best trainer I've worked with and trained with for close to 5 years. He makes everyone feel like family, and can adapt to his members needs! Not to mention his amazing workouts and they are never the same! So we never know what to expect! 11/10

Beyond Boxing Gym has been a great experience for my son and I, We were looking for something that we could get fit, build confidence and spend time together. The Instructors are supportive well trained and push us in the right way.which is what we want. We find the gym very professional, the management team are really fast on answering my questions. We are so happy and proud to say we are members of a top class boxing gym!

Great boutique boxing gym where you are always welcomed with open arms and smiling faces, pretty unique for a boxing gym. Great trainers, who push you consistently to improve your general fight IQ, solid technique, footwork and fitness level.

The ideal place to achieve your fitness goals in a fun and safe environment. Beyond Boxing is a great place to learn the sport of boxing from a number of different trainers from many different backgrounds. Robin, Taylor, Mindy, Carlos, Jimmy, Trevor, Vince, John, Andreea, Will, and Pranav deliver at a high standard in their professionalism. They always provide their clients with a unique experience each and every time. From beginner to advanced fighters, or maybe some which like to get into better shape, Beyond Boxing provides everything needed to match, and challenge each and every client, specifically. If your interested in boxing and fitness, I highly recommend you to visit, and hopefully join Beyond Boxing gym!

Beyond Boxing ended up being the perfect fit for my gf and I to workout together. We are able to train at our own pase, while also having so awesome instructors to show us the ropes.

The staff at Beyond Boxing has always been extremely quick to answer and questions or concerns via email, as well as in the gym. They are very knowledgeable, and every trainer we've encountered has added their own flair, each great in their own way.

Additionally, no gym can control their clients attitude, but compared to every other gym I've been to, the people who train here have been equally kind, jovial and encouraging. Never making us feel embarrassed for not knowing what to do, as we start to learn to box.

If you're looking for a high-end, fancy facility, this may not be the place for you, but if you're looking for a place to get fit, learn to box from some talented instructors, and have fun doing it, I strongly suggest you give this place a shot.

I found beyond boxing on classpass and tried it out for a month. I recently in the last few months bought a 48 session pass directly with the gym and come here every Sunday now. Andreea, Pranav and Mindy have all been great trainers. I will be recommending this place to my friends who live close by

Great people in a great gym with great instructors (Jimmy, Carlos, Robin). Pretty sure the others are great as well!: D

First time I ever tried boxing and this was such an ideal place to start out! Robin is an amazing coach! He went through all the fundamentals in detail to ensure that we all had the correct form and were able to get the techniques down. He's super fun to joke around with and will always push you to do the best that you can. The culture and environment he has created here is amazing and super welcoming!

It was my first time doing a drop-in and it seemed intimidating at first since I've never done any boxing before but Robin was such a great coach. Looking forward to coming back and doing a conditioning class with him again!

The coach and owner Robin is really good at pushing me to achieve my fitness goals. The environment here is really friendly. A good mix of young and old with great motivational coaches. Classes range from high intensity cardio to technical boxing. Sparring not a requirement here like other boxing gyms. The music they play during workouts is great. The gym is also no frills and is competitive with other fitness classes in the area.

Great trainers and community here, plus a good variety of classes for all skill levels. Not too mention killer workouts!

Have had a really fantastic experience training at Beyond Boxing with Robin and Trevor. They are both very encouraging instructors, and a lot can be learnt from them. Plus it's a really great workout! Highly recommend!

I’ve been going to Beyond Boxing for about 5 years now! All I have to say is I have had the best boxing experience at this gym. Robin and all of his trainers make the training fun and exciting and not to mention challenging. There’s never an “easy day” as Robin would say! You will never plateau while taking the classes at this gym. Each class brings new and exciting challenges. Prices are great as well! Best place to get in shape! 5 star rating! Best boxing gym in Burnaby. Community friendly as well! Accepts all ages! Thank you Beyond Boxing!

Back in 2015, Beyond Boxing was my first exposure to boxing. I was immediately hooked on both boxing and the class structure after my very first boxing conditioning class. The environment was very friendly and welcoming of newcomers, and the coaches keep a close eye to make sure your using proper form. The classes had people of all fitness levels; however, that’s not to say the classes are easy - you are free to push yourself to extreme limits and the coaches are always there to give you that extra motivational push. The floor work is particularly challenging and makes the boxing conditioning classes true full body workouts.

I had been a regular member of Beyond Boxing (3-4x a week) for nearly two years before moving out of the country. I still drop in when I get a chance when I’m back in town - nothing works me quite as hard as Beyond Boxing!

Can’t recommend Robin and the team at Beyond Boxing enough - thanks Coach!

Some of the best work outs I’ve ever had! Great trainers, friendly people, and good music. Great for anyone looking to try something new and fun for a work out.

This is a great locally owned gym. The owner Robin is a fantastic guy and coach. Great atmosphere of passionate coaches and athletes. People of all ages and levels will be happy here.

I went into the gym having zero experience and the coaches and other boxers there made me feel right at home. The gym has some very experienced boxers who train there as well.

No matter your level, the coaches here will challenge you and up your skill. Highly recommend!

This is my absolute FAVOURITE place to workout. I tried it in January and I haven’t stopped. The workouts are great and the people are incredible. The staff are all really welcoming and encouraging, and you can modify as you need to make sure you get the right workout for you. The owner Robin is wonderful, really encouraging and runs great classes himself as well. If you haven’t tried it, TRY IT. Trust me. You cannot go wrong!

Great place, great atmosphere, great instructors! Definitely the gym to go if you want to learn real boxing!

Great classes in a positive team environment! It feels like a big family, people get together and hang out. I always feel welcome at this gym and get a great workout in the process. Highly recommend to all my friends in the neighbourhood.

Beyond boxing is the best. I’ve been to many different studios and by far I get the best work out here. The owner, Robin is very motivating and encouraging, all skill levels are welcomed. Whether you want to learn or get serious or your looking for a way to have fun with your workouts this is the place! I’ve been going for almost a year now and it’s definitely starting to feel like a second home. If you want a killer workout check out the conditioning classes.

It's always a good workout. Trainers are super friendly, know what they are doing and are accommodating for those who have injuries. The people who go are super friendly and welcoming. Always a good time at Beyond Boxing!

My pre-teen almost teen has been going for lessons and workouts for one month now, mostly 2-3 x per week, he's become a devotee. I can't express how awesome the instructors, classes, and atmosphere are here. So welcoming and helpful. Instructors also don't hold back and lead great workouts for all who are participating. He has learned so much and has fun doing it. For those who want to learn, workout etc.this is the place. Rates are good, hours and class times good, there's parking and transit.

It was a pleasure to have an initiation to boxing for my holidays. Carlos and Mindy were very kind and that's was awesome time to the Beyond Boxing BBQ! I really enjoy this place

I found beyond boxing on classpass and little did I know it would be one of the best decisions I've ever made. If you're looking for a non judgmental, welcoming and friendly environment this place is for you. Not to mention the workouts are crazy intense and you will also get an amazing workout. I really like how Beyond Boxing welcomes people of all ages, shapes/sizes and fitness levels and helps tailor workouts to your needs. It's so refreshing to find such a humble gym in the often pretentious vancouver. The only downside about beyond boxing is that I cant go everyday due to my hectic work schedule.

I have been going to this club for 10 years. Many members have been coming back year after year because ut is a non-pretentious, non-intimidating club where anyone can train. This is an accredited Boxing Canada club with certified NCCP ciaches. The instruction is excellent and fun. Some classes are technical and some are fun, general fitness formats like the weekend bootcamp class and popular Boxing Conditioning. Sparring is available here too for aspiring fighters. People of all ages and body types come here. If you hate traditional gyms you will love working out at Beyond. They also have open gym time slots for members who want to lift weights and practice on their own.

I joined Beyond a little over a year now (found it on ClassPass) and safe to say, it is one of the best decisions I have made in my life. This place is now a second home to me and I get homesick if I don't go for a while. The people are amazing and I have made a ton of new friends during the past year.

Going in I just wanted to get fitter and lose excess weight but Beyond is so much more than a place to do just those 2 things. I ended up experiencing a warm, friendly, non-judgemental community setup by Robin and his amazing trainers - Carlos, Jimmy, Amy, Andreea, Taylor, Will, Mindy and Jack. I feel a lot fitter, stronger, more confident and have the mindset that the only real fight is against your former self. A huge shoutout to the entire staff of Beyond Boxing for motivating me, supporting me and helping me push my limits on a daily basis.

If you are looking for an authentic, genuine, welcoming gym with trainers that push you to become a better version of yourself without trying to sell you anything, then Beyond Boxing is for you. The workouts are super fun and effective and each instructor has their own style which makes sure that the classes never get boring. Thank you, Beyond Boxing!

5 stars isn't enough for Robin and his team.

Let me start by saying that when I started boxing, I had ZERO experience in the sport, and my general fitness level was terrible.

I started boxing with these guys end February/Early March. First classes were really intense for someone like me. After attending 1-3 classes a week for the first month, I eventually picked up the speed. After a couple months, and until today, I try to at least aim for 4-6 sessions a week.

On a technical level, I still have a lot of work to do but I've improved a LOT. The sparring + Padwork sessions with Jimmy have helped a lot - and so did the Boxing Fundamentals with Carlos. I am feeling a lot more confident now, and hoping I can continue improving to eventually dream of a first "real" amateur fight in the future (even it will take me a LOT more training)!

In terms of cardio, I am feeling the greatest I've ever felt. The Boxing conditioning classes I attended with Jimmy/Carlos/Robin/Andreaa will drain all of your energy but you'll feel incredibly good. I lost close to 20 pounds, after 4 months. My diet has been slowly changing as well, in an effort to be consistent in my effort to lose weight and build muscle. Outside the gym, Beyond Boxing has had a huge impact as well. I started running, exercise every day (push-ups, crunches, anything can pick up from my Conditioning classes), and boxing will get your confidence up as well.

I truly thank every coach at Beyond: every single coach will help you improve. Special thanks to Jimmy, who has been the one who helped me build the confidence enough to attend my first sparring sessions!

Thank you Beyond Boxing!
