I recently joined Club16 Trevor Linden Fitness, and the experience has been genuinely transformative.
What stood out to me immediately is how thoughtfully they’ve structured their memberships. There are two tiers to choose from, but opting for the VIP membership truly elevates the experience. With VIP, you’re not restricted to one location—you can access any Club16 facility across the Greater Vancouver Area. On top of that, you get access to premium amenities like the infrared sauna and hydro massage, which add a whole new layer of recovery and relaxation to your routine.
Another major highlight is their coaching system. Club16 offers coaches from Level 1 to Level 4, each catering to different fitness goals and needs. They also provide multiple coaching styles tailored to specific outcomes, which makes the whole process feel personalized rather than generic. The pricing varies depending on the coach’s level, so there’s flexibility depending on how deep you want to go with your fitness journey. If you sign up for the VIP membership, you also receive a complimentary InBody assessment along with a coaching session, which is incredibly helpful in understanding where you stand and how to move forward.
On a personal note, I’m grateful to have met Randy, the fitness manager, who introduced me to Cruz, my fitness instructor. Cruz has been instrumental in guiding me—especially when it comes to correcting my form. I’m really looking forward to diving deeper into discussions around nutrition, ab-based workouts, and refining my overall exercise regimen.
Before joining, my workouts were intense but not necessarily efficient—I was doing up to 16 different exercises for a single muscle group. Now, I’m shifting toward a more informed, research-based approach that actually induces meaningful change.
Club16 is not another gymnasium that only caters to a certain class. It is an overarching umbrella that fosters everyone and their individual need.
Before I joined, I had immense concerns about finances, but this is an investment worth making—especially when it is in yourself. The fees culminate into giving you the experience of a lifetime if you choose to stay dedicated.
I chose to come to Club16 because I was not satisfied with the equipment and the wait times at my previous gym. Here, everything feels intentional, accessible, and built to support real progress.
Last but not the least, I would like to mention the diligent work of one of the best staff members I have come across at the facility, and that is Jay. From signing my membership forms, to liaison between the manager and myself, to get me the privilege of utilizing my membership perks at my time and convenience, Jay has been solid and monumental to get things going! I truly appreciate his work and wish him, and the entire team of Club16, staff and trainers alike, the very best!
The monthly fee is attractive and the staff are very friendly, so it’s tough to decide whether this is worth it… this gym leaves a lot to be desired:
- the gym clearly oversold memberships by a lot, making it super crowded. You need to figure out what’s a sustainable number of clients at a gym before singing up so many new people. It takes twice as long to get a workout in than it should.
- there’s no paper towel in the bathrooms, so there’s always lots of water on the floors despite the staff working hard to keep it clean. The blow dryers just blow dirty air on hands so many people choose not to use them.
- there’s absolutely no squat machines, zero. That’s almost a deal breaker and unacceptable for a modern gym.
- there’s one pec fly and one incline leg press. You need two of these because they’re very high demand machines.
- there needs to be some kind of system to sign up for a machine next, especially busy ones like the pec fly. This might not be necessary if you just keep track of the busiest machines and add more of those and remove ones that are rarely used and duplicates.
- it is always way too hot in the gym, throughout the year. The cooling system needs to either be turned up or replaced/serviced in the summer, and the heat turned way down in the winter. Maybe add some fans for airflow?
- the hyperextension machine is too low and can’t be raised, you need a new one that’s modern and high up so people can do weighted hyperextension
- it’s crazy how close the smith machine is to the deadlift platform now, it somehow keeps getting closer and it’s downright dangerous at this point
- there’s two squat racks and two deadlift platforms. Maybe it would be helpful to put up a sign asking people to use the squat racks for squats rather than the deadlift platform if they’re not being used.
Anyways, we were told nearly 7 months ago they’re going to do a renovation “very soon”. It may be a good idea to stop advertising that to attract new clients if you’re just not going to do it…
