Listen for my audio cues, check your screen every now & then to see what’s going on. Most importantly, have fun and get a good sweat!

We’ll release a new workout every week to give ...you some variety. Have an amazing week and we’ll see you for Open Gym! https://youtu.be/NH-1C6SZxas #kickboxing #muaythai #boxing #martialarts #fitness #gym #vancouver

All restrictions in BC have been extended to Feb 5 as announced by Provincial Health Officer. No classes or group sports for adults. I’m sorry everyone.

Thanks for voting everyone! Fully guided heavy bag workout videos on the way!!

Just added Friday nights at 6:15 to our Open Gym schedule. Book it!!

Here's the link to reserve your group classes: https://westsidekickboxingclassbookings.as.me/ You can now start booking classes for next week! All you need is the link & you can use a computer or a browser on your phone. There’s no need to register an account as all you need is an email/phone number to confirm your booking. There’s 3 Covid-19 screening questions that must be answered as well. This booking page is for MEMBERS ONLY. If you are not a current member, then you mu...st email in advance and we will send you a Covid-19 self assessment tool before you book. You can still train in as many classes as you want every week, but I ask that you only book 2 classes at a time. Then please wait a day or 2 before reserving the rest of your classes for that week. This way everyone will get a fair chance to reserve their classes. You can reserve classes up to 2 weeks in advance and bookings are cut off an hour before the start of class. You will receive an email confirmation which gives you the option to cancel your reservation. If you do need to cancel, please do so asap so others get a chance to book that class. We will not accept walk-ins, drop-ins or anyone that has not reserved a class. #kickboxing #muaythai #boxing #martialarts #fitness #gym #vancouver

Reminder that our mandatory mask policy starts tomorrow. Please wear your mask when you enter the gym. Masks may be removed when you arrive at your heavy bag station. It is optional to wear a mask during training. Masks must be worn during station disinfecting and throughout the gym until you exit the building. Thank you for your cooperation and thank you for continuing to look out for each other. #kickboxing #muaythai #boxing #martialarts #fitness #gym #vancouver

Head over to our Instagram Stories and vote if you want some more live workouts this week!

Starting Friday, Oct 30 all members must wear a mask (covering the nose & mouth) when entering & exiting the gym. Masks can be removed when you arrive at your heavy bag station and you ARE NOT required to wear the mask while training. Masks must be put back on while heavy bag stations are being disinfected & must be worn until you leave the building. This added layer of protection in conjunction with the rest of our mitigation plan, will contain all sweat/droplets within each... individual heavy bag station which then gets disinfected immediately after use. Your safety takes priority over everything else and I believe a mandatory mask policy ensures a safer environment for our community. Thank you for your cooperation and thank you for continuing to look out for each other. #kickboxing #muaythai #boxing #martialarts #fitness #gym #vancouver

Temporarily closed, AGAIN. I’m sorry everyone but we have to cancel all classes, including tonight. Initially I thought we would stay open today until I navigated this news. But after calming down I realize we MUST comply with Provincial Health Orders, whether I agree with them or not. You all know that we went above & beyond to keep you safe. You all know we had a safety plan that is miles ahead of what the government would mandate. But unfortunately, we’re being lumped in with others that don’t offer the same protection. Please keep your eyes open for any new details. As always, I’ll let you know of any news as soon as I get it. I can’t help but apologize to you because you’ve been so supportive all this time. Thank you for your patience and thank you for being such a great community.

Stand by those who stand by you. Pic credit: Adrien Flanquart #fbf #flashback #kickboxing #muaythai #boxing #martialarts #fitness #gym #vancouver

The moments just before the fight, when it all comes together. The blood, sweat & tears. The roadwork, the bagwork, the padwork. The shadow boxing, the sparring. Sometimes you earn victory, joy & praise. Other times, your opponent gets the better of you and its a lesson learned. Every time, its the best thing in the world!

So after they gave the entire industry the clearance to reopen just 4 days ago, the government has changed their minds. Without any notice or formal announcement, they’ve decided that we should stay closed while new guidance is being developed. I’m at a loss. I’m really sorry everyone. I just don’t know what to think. But once again, please be patient as I do my best to figure out exactly what is going on here. We’re going to stay open today so if you’ve booked a class, let’s keep training. I’m not exactly sure yet about tomorrow so please allow me some time to figure out what’s going on. I’m sorry everyone, I really am.

Thanks to everyone that contributed to dog rescue organizations in Champ’s name. What a wonderful honour. Thank you all very much.

Monday mood Lets have a great week of training & Make sure to book your classes! #kickboxing #muaythai #boxing #martialarts #fitness #gym #vancouver

#Flashback to fighting. And winning. And standing within 6ft of each other. When will fights resume?!? Who knows, but I sure do miss everything that comes along with fight preparation! #fbf #kickboxing #muaythai #boxing #martialarts #fitness #gym #vancouver

With the recent spike in Covid cases & hospitalizations, I want to remind you that were still disinfecting all equipment between classes, still sanitizing high touch surfaces several times per day, still mopping daily, still capping all classes at 10 people maximum, still limiting the number of people in the gym, still following all physical distancing protocols and still STRICTLY following all health authority guidelines. On top of all that, we temporarily stopped accepting... trial/new members when the daily case counts started climbing last month. I promised to make your health & safety our number 1 priority and Ill continue to do that. I wont bend any rules and I certainly wont break protocols & procedures. Can I guarantee your safety? No. Can I guarantee that your safety takes priority over anything else? Yes. Keep training, keep kicking ass and keep looking out for each other! #team #family #safetyoverprofits #kickboxing #muaythai #boxing #martialarts #fitness #gym #vancouver

As we enter the cold/flu season, I want to remind everyone to skip training if you’re feeling unwell in any way. If you’re experiencing symptoms related to Covid-19, please call 811 for further information. Let’s do our part to limit the spread of the cold/flu virus and THANKS everyone for continuing to keep each other safe from Covid-19. #kickboxing #muaythai #boxing #martialarts #fitness #gym #vancouver

Reminder that we all take responsibility for each other’s well being & safety. If you’re experiencing any Covid symptoms or if feeling unwell, then PLEASE avoid training until you know for certain that it’s safe to do so. Also, if you’ve travelled outside the region or if you’ve come into contact with anyone self isolating then please make sure to follow provincial health guidelines before returning to class. Thank you for looking out for each other. #kickboxing #muaythai #boxing #martialarts #fitness #gym #vancouver

Wow its been 3 months since weve reopened & been operating under strict pandemic protocols! Shutting down the gym for 3 months knocked us down but like a fighter, we got up, brushed off & came back swinging. It will take 1-2 years for the gym to make an economic recovery, considering were only allowed half capacity (and considering other protocols that limit our growth) but Im just glad were back in the game and able to put up a fight. Thanks to everyone that came back f...rom the shutdown and thanks to our newest members who have recently joined the team. Thank you for trusting me with your safety and I can assure you, well keep up our strict Covid procedures because your health is my number 1 priority. Now get those hands up, chin down and lets have a KNOCKOUT September!! Pic credit: Adrien Flanquart #kickboxing #muaythai #boxing #martialarts #fitness #gym #vancouver
