Playground Fitness Group Fitness and Personal Training

Never worked out before and was looking for a gym to help lose baby weight. So happy I found Playground! It’s a very welcoming, yet challenging environment. The instructors do an awesome job in keeping me motivated and the selection of classes keeps the workout balanced and fun. They helped this mom get ABS for the first time in her LIFE lol!

I came in for a Free Trial. I was recommended by a friend. Right of the bat, I was greeted by the owner. He asked me a few questions that made me feel comfortable right away. Very professional and very respectful.

As the class started, it was just like what I expected, it was tough but man it was a really motivating experience. I'm out of shape but the community was so welcoming. At first, it felt like I was surrounded by athletes to later find out they all started just like me. The coach made sure and always checked-in on me and made sure my form was correct.

The facility has that grunge hardcore gym vibe which i really love but the vibe of this community is really amazing. I've lived all over North America and this is by far the best gym I've been to. I would recommend this place to any of my friends and family. Good Job Playground team!

This is the best gym I have ever gone too. Not only are the workouts intense and always varied, but they're really fun. I always get a great sweat on and feel soo good afterwards. Beyond that, the staff are friendly and there is a real sense of community here. The heart of it all is Aeson, the owner, whose passion really shines through and brightens the entire gym. If you're looking for a fantastic community and place to push yourself physically, Playground is it! Highly recommended.

Really great gym out in Burnaby near Metrotown/Royal Oak. It was super easy to book a class on their website and I appreciate the ample free parking!

The class itself was great. I tried the Rack City class with Aeson and he greeted me warmly and showed me around the gym. Lots of equipment, squat racks, dumbbells, kettlebells, weights etc. Aeson did a great job demonstrating the movements and providing instruction and good tips and feedback.

Great warmup and challenging but fun programming. The AMRAPs and set ladders were pretty killer but I appreciated the push. Good mixture of squats, deadlifts, burpees and other functional movements.

Aeson has built such a welcoming and supportive community.

There is a large variety of classes that can accommodate all fitness levels. Trainers are incredibly knowledgeable, motivating and provide valuable feedback. Workouts are dynamic, fun and satisfying, and they set the tone for the rest of the day.

I love this gym. I was paying significantly more for group training and driver farther to the other side of Burnaby. This place is well equipped with very kind trainers who meet you where you are at while also helping you improve your fitness. Aeson, the owner, is highly involved with the gym and has a strong presence which I really like as well! He teaches multiple classes with many regulars.

Great instructors, amazing energy. Every session, I feel stronger and PUMPED. The community Playground fitness is so welcoming. The efforts to ensure proper form throughout the workouts are appreciated, from all the instructors. Highly recommend this fitness facility!

I am not a beginner BUT I lost track, and beginning to put on weight because of WFH. I still gym but I needed to work on my cardio. LET ME TELL YOU, THEY PUSH YOU! Don’t be scared but go here if you want to give it your all.

I love the vibe and the classes! Everyone’s so friendly, super fun, and with such motivating trainers. I always have an amazing work out.

I am not a beginner BUT I lost track, and beginning to put on weight because of WFH. I still gym but I needed to work on my cardio. Playground aligned with my goals of challenging your strength and endurance. LET ME TELL YOU, THEY PUSH YOU! Don’t be scared but go here if you want to give it your all.

Such a fun environment! Staff are super supportive and accommodating. Workouts are always fun and creative— always gets you to keep pushing yourself. Music is always great too!

It’s an old and very loud gym. I Booked appointments twice, when arrived looked around for 10 min for the guys I had booked and then left home. The website is misleading. Prices, classes and most of other information is outdated and it was told to me by the guy over the phone taking my booking.

This gym is the best! I've been going to Playground for almost a year and I've never felt more confident, strong, and excited about working out. Every one of the coaches is so fun and no two classes are the same. All the classes are challenging and push you to your limits everytime. Aeson has created such a great community, team vibe here. While the trainers are great at giving modifications and adjustments based on your injuries/fitness level, be prepared to work your butt off.

I've only taking part and a few virtual classes. Absolutely love the motivation from the instructors periods are very motivating and they really challenge you to do better.

Playground fitness is my favorite gym. Seriously best shape of my life. I’ve tried so many other studios, gyms and classes but the trainers here make any new person feel welcome. The people who workout here are also friendly! The trainers here truly care about everyone and doing good in the community. The workouts push me every day and I have seen the difference in my body! Never felt stronger.

Playground Fitness is a great gym. Each class is different and this keeps things interesting. The instructors demonstrate how we can modify the exercises so it can accommodate people of any fitness level. Highly recommend!

Friendly, motivated and inspiring instructors. Great variety of classes for those looking to achieve differing goals. Fun and welcoming atmosphere.

Playground is a place for you to push yourself, challenge yourself and discover your capabilities! Workouts are different every single day, and it never gets boring. What keeps me coming is also the people here! Everyone is super nice, especially the trainers! Aeson and Felix genuinely care about their clients. They are very professional and they never hesitate to respond to any concerns or questions you have! You can tell that they are very passionate about what they do and how much they enjoy doing it. Definitely give it a try, five stars won't lie!

Been coming here for over a month and already feel change in my body and overall energy level. The trainers are absolutely amazing, they provide guidance and coaching through out the sessions with focus on good posture and overall good health and well being. The exercises continue to change and keep you challenged. Felix, Aeson and Victoria thank you for keeping me going!

Playground Fitness is by far the best gym in the Lower Mainland! Coming from someone who has tried everything from yoga to spin to other group fitness classes (and more), nothing comes close to the workouts you will experience at Playground. The trainers are extremely knowledgeable and so passionate about helping their clients reach their health and fitness goals. There is a great sense of community, with people of all fitness levels. If you’re looking for a challenging workout in a fun and positive environment, I highly highly recommend Playground!

The workouts at Playground are always challenging and always different! Aeson and Felix are very motivating, passionate, friendly, and are responsive to feedback. Felix knows when to push and encourage you. He is also very helpful with form and technique as he will provide you with feedback and then watch your adjustments and make additional suggestions as required. Also, you can really tell that he puts a lot of work into his programming and appreciates when you attend his classes. Aeson has a lot of energy and a lot of experience. Aeson takes his time explaining different muscle groups and the importance of proper form while he is demonstrating. If you like challenges to track your progress, you should attend his classes. When Aeson helps you with form, it helps that he often brings props as a visual or a box to make some moves easier during lift.

Highly recommended if you want to get into shape. The staff is very knowledgeable and constantly encourage you to do your best. It's a very good environment to exercise in with rest of the members who show up. No exercise is the same every-time you go there. Playground fitness team will deliver on your fitness goals as long as you are willing to push your boundaries.

5 Stars!

Hands down the best fitness experience I’ve ever had. Aeson and Felix are encouraging, fun and very knowledgeable about fitness, health and recovery. They are both passionate about supporting and motivating their clients to achieve their health and fitness goals. The workouts are intense but very rewarding. I feel stronger, happier and healthier after coming here for over a year now. The gym has a strong sense of community and everyone is very supportive of each other and friendly to be around.

Playground Fitness has the best circuit classes! Each class is different and incorporates many different elements including barbells, TRX, free weights, ropes, box jumps, cardio, etc. But the best part about this place are the trainers. They are all very passionate about fitness and helping you build strength. They do an incredible job of curating different circuits each day, motivating the class, providing training tips and recommendations on proper form. I highly recommend trying a class.

Trust me- I have tried it all. Yoga, pilates, group fitness, cycle and was never compelled to keep going. But finding Playground was the best thing ever. The trainers are just amazing guys who actually care about your health and wellness. The classes are super fun and time just flies! I saw results which never happened to me before. I will be attending this group fitness for as long as I can!

What an amazing experience overall. The quality of training was top notch, staff were friendly and I felt amazing after my workout

What an amazing find! Both the staff as well as trainer, Felix, had awesome energy. The class was intense but still manageable, and Felix pushed us collectively while being attentive to us individually. I was also impressed by the programming because, for an "Arms and Abs" class, nearly every exercise incorporated both arms AND abs, not just one or the other. I felt it was creatively tailored to be as comprehensive as possible and the flow of the drills was sequenced for efficiency. Not to mention the facility was clean and his playlist was poppin’. I’ll be back for sure.

I have nothing but great things to say about Playground and highly recommend anyone to join. I have been going regularly for 9 months now and have never felt stronger or more fit. Within the first month I was already noticing results and even after 9 months I am motivated to go because it's never the same workout. Aeson and his team are knowledgeable, motivating, and very importantly, approachable. The atmosphere is inclusive and welcoming to people of all sizes/shapes/age/gender. The workouts are super tough but you always feel great afterwards and never regret going. Again, I highly recommend this gym and I am really grateful for everything they do there!

Playground Fitness has the best classes by far and I've been to my fair share of fitness classes at other places. The trainers will come around and correct your form and help you. This is something that I don't see often from my past experiences elsewhere. I've been a client of the studio for almost two years now (since 88 Athletica) and I immediately fell in love with their classes. The classes are always challenging and it's always different. I've been pushed to do things I never thought was possible for myself and it's left me wanting to do more as my accomplishment has further motivated me.

I took a break during my pregnancy and the first person that came to mind to whip me back into shape was Aeson. He's patient, passionate, humble and best of all pre/post natal certified. If you're looking for a personal trainer then I highly recommend him and if not then try out one of their classes and you won't be disappointed!

Having joined Playground Fitness several months ago, I can honestly say from my results (having lost 35 lbs so far) that these guys really know what they're doing. The workouts are fun, difficult and constantly changing, and completing them always gives you a sense of pride at the end of each workout.

The trainers are friendly but they will push you hard because they WANT you to succeed. Though I signed up for the classes and not personal training, they are also always willing to provide me with tips and tricks that will help me perform as a better athlete to maximise my workout.

I can honestly say that this place has really changed my life for the better and I look forward to the next challenges in the years to come. Highly recommended.
