You’ll also have access to our VALD performance testing equipment and InBody assessments, plus regular check-ins with one of our expert coaches to keep you on track with your goals.
Once you complete the trial, you can choose from our membership options directly on our website or through the MindBody app. Alternatively, you can visit us at the gym or give us a call at (604-423-5532), and we’ll help you select the membership that best suits your goals.

SGPT cancellation policy is 24 hours. That means if you cancel or reschedule with 24 hours or more notice, you will receive a full credit back to your account. SGPT sessions canceled after the 24 hour window will be considered a late-cancel and will be charged as if attended.
All cancellations should be made online – login to mindbody, go to my info, click my schedule and click cancel – next to the session time.
If a SGPT session or a conditioning session you would like to take is full, we highly recommend putting yourself on the waitlist – it works!
When you see the session is full, click on it, and it will ask you if you want to add your name to the waitlist. If the waitlist is full it will tell you that too. If a spot opens up, you will automatically be added to the session and you will receive an email confirmation.
IMPORTANT: it is assumed that by being on the waitlist, you will be able to attend the session if you get in. If you no longer wish to attend the session please remember to remove yourself from the waitlist. If you fail to remove yourself and are added to the class within our 12-hour cancellation, it will be a late-cancel and you will forfeit the session.
You can find the schedule for SGPT and Conditioning sessions on our website or through the app Mindbody.
If you are looking to make progress, we recommend training consistently 3 times per week. Your goals, lifestyle, injuries, etc. of course will effect this but if you are looking to actually make progress toward your goals – consistency is key.

No guests (scheduled or waitlisted) will be able to enter the studio after 2 minutes past the start time of the session.
It is recommended that you come dressed ready for a workout, a water bottle and a small towel. Small face towels are provided.
