Beach City Fitness Penticton

I enjoyed so much coming to my class at Beach City Fitness Penticton. It is not just intrinsic, but FUN - engaging exercises, the way everyone shares laughs throughout makes each session something I look forward to. It’s the vibe and laugh, it’s the people who bring such a warm, welcoming energy that lifts you up even on tough days. Training in a joyful ambiance changes everything for me; it turns what could be just another workout into a moment of lightness and connection. Maryse is wonderful at keeping that energy alive - she encourages everyone, offers modifications so no one feels left behind, and her enthusiasm is contagious. Thank you Jennifer And thank you Maryse 😁

Amazing gym. The coaches are professional, supportive, and really know their stuff. The community is friendly, positive, and motivating every single day. Great programming, clean facility, and top energy. Best CrossFit gym in Penticton. Highly recommended.

Very welcoming and accommodating for my first class as I was nervous Samantha made room for me to be comfortable and corrected my positions and everyone is so positive

First group class was awesome! I felt so welcome and felt the structure and instructions were so great! As a complete newbie to these kinds of workouts, it can be a little overwhelming! But Jenn is fantastic and I had a blast.

I absolutely love this fitness class. As an “older” woman, finding a space where I feel both challenged and supported hasn’t always been easy. The environment is welcoming, and judgment-free, which made it easy for me to step in with confidence, even on days when I doubted myself. The instructors are incredibly encouraging. They push me to work hard, but always with a focus on proper form and listening to my body. I never feel pressured—just motivated. Each session leaves me feeling stronger, more capable, and more proud of what my body can do. What makes this class truly special is the sense of community. The other women cheer each other on, celebrate progress, and create a supportive atmosphere that keeps me coming back. I’m gaining strength, confidence, and a deeper belief in myself week after week.

Jennifer is an amazing coach who is very patient and knowledgeable. I usually attend the ladies only Simply Strong class but ventured into the comp training class and was surprised

I really appreciate the options you provide and the descriptions. As well as any correction to technique. I feel able to challenge myself knowing you will correct. Thanks for all that you do.

I attended my free 1st Legends class today. I've just begun to get back into physical fitness after a car accident a few years ago. So I was a little hesitant. Will was wonderful! He not only fully explains safe body positioning but he spot checks to ensure we're lifting safely. I especially appreciated his patience to answer questions and his overall welcoming attitude. Legends is lucky to have Will Vigors as an instructor.

I am very happy about your class. Will makes regular contact to make sure I'm OK. I am a happy ( even with my little personal worries) about the teaching:)

Great first Legends class, appreciated the detailed instructions for proper movement and encouragement throughout the class!

Today’s class was really good. Sam had shown me a small movement with my elbows to make the front squats easier for me. The workout was challenging and exhausting! Legs felt wobbly for awhile after!

Today I learned that chest to bar is a form of pull-up. 😂😂😂

I learned about doing proper technique to get optimal movement. I love the positive energy, fun atmosphere and constructive instruction when needing correction!

Jen does a great job at making the workouts challenging but fun!

Didn’t call me Jackie today so all was great lol

Super patient and detailed on tips

She did a great job! Very paciente and always with a smile😃 Thanks Emily Happy journey !

Ron is really personable and gives positive, encouraging feedback to correct form in a timely matter. He doesn’t just give feedback, he also provides rationale for his correction so you understand the why. Highly recommend!

This is an amazing group and coaching is awesome- for beginner to expert!

Will is patient, knowlegable and attentive to the specific needs of everyone in the Legends class! He makes workouts class challenging and fun! Thanks,Will! 💪 👊

Will is an awesome coach- well organized and instructs with knowledge, encouragement and humour. He is definitely an 11 out of 10!!

Since joining Beach City Fitness in May my fitness level has improved immensely. Whether you’re an old guy like me or younger it is reassuring to know that coach Ron is always making sure your executing the routine properly and safely and at the same time recognizing and encouraging your extra effort. One day I might actually do a squat properly without being told I need to get down further! I look forward to heading to Beach City Fitness for my workouts because of the great positive attitude from the staff and the people I’ve met working out there.

I love how everyone inst

Great, I learned so much! My only constructive criticism as a teacher and also a former coach is that the beginning instruction should be half the length before we do something. There's a lot of standing around at first. For example the warm-up could be explained and then we do the warm up then the next portion explained etc. however, I realize things evolve and perhaps this is best practice for coaches now. I know as we start to do more similar workouts it will be more easy to stay engaged in the explanation until the end. (Another lady mentioned to me that she zones out halfway through the explanation as well as it's too long) Otherwise, I think the coaching is top-notch and I can't believe how fast the classes go!

I had a great class with Jennifer tonight! Her consistent coaching and attention to form and technique over the past 4 months lead me to tonight, where I felt strong and confident doing our barbell workout. Thanks Jen!

Incredible experience for a first-time aspiring cross-fitter today at Beach City Fitness! Ron was so helpful in explaining the process. Great workout!

Helped with on the fly adjustments to improve form and performance. Also helped with modifications to accommodate body limitations without sacrificing workout intensity or quality. Great workout today!

The programme is effective, class is well structured, exercises are challenging. Couldn't ask for more )

Awesome class, Ron makes sure everyone gets the level of attention they need/makes everyone feel welcome! Great place to drop in when on vacation!

It was an excellent class. I really enjoyed being with ladies that have similar needs and outcomes. And Will is very patient and caring; ensuring we are doing exercises properly. Looking forward to the next class

Great dude

Definitely the right way to start your day, Ron was great and felt I had good instruction on everything. Can’t beat finishing a good workout with a jump in the lake.

Will did amazing ! Always paying attention to form and showing us new techniques to keep are bodies strong and healthy. 👌💪

Had a great class with coach Ron! He was approachable, relaxed and knowledgeable. Would definitely return!

Today was a good class! Since we didn't spend an age going over instructions we had a lot of workout time. I would have liked more variety or a longer time for warm up instead. I am aware Ron just followed the pre planned program.

Good, Ron was good. Haven’t seen him in awhile he was welcoming

Great class today. Coach Sam took the time to walk a bunch of us through lifting technique and the WOD was great. Sam always has a positive attitude and makes the whole class feel comfortable. Love the Saturday morning class with Sam. Good music today too ;)

Very beautiful gym and great coaching

I want to express my gratitude for the supportive and engaging environment you create during class. Your approach encourages me to engage actively, and I really appreciate how you tailor the workout to my individual needs. It makes the class feel personal and inclusive. Your coaching style is not only clear and approachable but also motivating. Thank you for making classes enjoyable and for helping me stay committed to my fitness goals.

Always a great workout at BeachCity!

Will explained, and demonstrated well, and wrote notes on the whiteboard for all different types of learners. He also encouraged questions and showed us many adaptations when we were havi g difficulty with moves. I felt I got a lot out of the 4 sessions and am looking forward to classes

Love it ! Well explained the exercises and liked the introduction in the beginnings for everyone. Felt observed and secured will doing the exercises. Also the energy of the place was welcoming and fun

As we build in strength and technique, today was push ups. Will showed me a push up using a band. It was a great way to feel more confident in doing a full push up with the help of band to push UP!!!! Game changer!

Had a good workout today with Jennifer. We tried new movements and as always left feeling invigorated and sweaty 😅

I forgot how hard exercise was but, I felt energized despite the soreness after. They do work you but, in a good way that’s benefitting you! 😊

Ron did great. He was clear with his instructions and sweat 45 was fun.

Will was upbeat and encouraging today. He was great at explaining our workout, and very helpful and patient with those of us who are new to the gym. I’m inspired to get fit and look forward to working with him at my next session!

:)

Good class to start the day

Will did great, In my case I have been 1 year without training at all as we had a new baby and I had some Lower back pains. I told Will and Ron that I was just coming back into training with the main gold of building my strong body again and feel healthy overall. Will and Ron had been very supportive so far helping me with exercises and going on my own pace. I am trying to stay focused on consistency and go training at least 3 times per week Regards,

Great class. Ron was great and helpful and I felt welcomed and comfortable in the class with everyone.

Samantha gave great guidance on technique & was great with being aware of the different skill levels within the group, offering alternate options for different skill levels. I also appreciated her observing individually to make sure we executed the moves properly. :)

Great first class.

Will is leading with Incredible guidance and constant encouragement. Best trainer I’ve had! Strongly recommend!

Samantha has been VERY supportive and proactive in tailoring my workout to accommodate injury while targeting areas needing attention. I always leave the gym feeling positive and productive as a result.

Another great workout with Coach Will and the Legends! Always appreciate the attention Will gives to individual needs regarding variations in weights, movements or intensity.Resulting in a great workout even while babying along some injuries.

"Grateful for your coaching“

An amazing first day, thank you Will. The program was exactly what my body needed. I look forward to all my future sessions. The other members were so kind and welcoming, thank you again!

The class was full, lots of fun!

Best coach out there with a world of knowledge!

Will did great demonstrated proper techniques on all that was on the board for todays class.

Ron is always full of great advice (and stories of course, and even small details that you don’t realize will matter that much and then he points them out and boom - PR’s and new skills unlocked!

Had a great class. Thorough instructions, and a group of super fun and friendly ladies.

Stepping into a gym after 28 years..... very good coach

It’s fantastic to be working out! Love the view and the group! Enjoying the classes and adjusting the workout according to what works for me and needs more work!

Hey, thanks Will for another fantastic class. It was good to learn some new techniques, and I loved the workout portion of our program today.

Can you fill the hand sanitizer, please?

Samantha is just amazing! Great class, very thorough on explaining movements!

I liked how Ron demonstrated all the movements and ensures that you are then doing them correctly. Found the class a little too easy.

super fun class! loved the energy in the room and loved being around people with similar goals and mindsets! :) thanks for having me

Great! I loved it! You were very motivating, approachable, gave clear instructions. I liked that you made sure to interact with each of us one-on-one at a few points during the course of the session. Only issues with last night were the parking situation (one lady left because she felt it was too sketchy to walk in the dark, alone from the restaurant parking), and so many people (which I realize won’t be like that during the classes, but that feeling during the trial class could still be a deterrent for new people).

Class was excellent as Ron always makes it. Ron has a great way of explaining the workouts each class and always finds a laugh to make classes a lot of fun I love the challenge that he puts up Thanks Ron!!

Coach Ron’s Friday night class is my favorite class of the week!

This was my first Crossfit class since 2014 (Crossfit South Okanagan) Feels great to be back! Everyone has been super friendly in the gym. I'm looking forward to getting back in shape again. Thanks for the push Ron!

Ron was great at correcting my form and giving me the tools to improve!

Ron’s coaching is awesome, I was whining about this particular workout because it was hard, but overall the sessions have been fun and challenging. Thanks!

I love how Ron interacts with each member on an individual basis at the gym. He almost always has a tip or, if not, a word of praise or encouragement.

Great class with Ron, as always!

Ron is a great coach.

Ron was great and super supportive! It was my first cardio hit class, it definitely pushed me but he was encouraging and very welcoming to all levels of experience.

This was my first class with Sam and my third at Beachcity. Sam's class was awesome - so much variety and options for a beginner like me! I appreciated Sam's encouragement and patience!

Great coaching, fun environment

After restarting CrossFit workouts recently, Ron’s friendly demeanour and expert guidance have reignited my passion for these challenging yet immensely rewarding sessions.

Very helpful cueing on the back squat pause.

Just what I needed ! It was a great way to start the day ..

Ron saw me, how I moved and what my potential was. He gave me the right advice.

Ron has a ton of knowledge and can help everyone who wants to learn more and increase their fitness.

I always love working out at beach city on vacay. The view, coaches and members are always wonderful and welcoming. The workout was great as always. Thank you

I did a drop-in workout while staying in Penticton from out of town. Ron is such a great coach and remembered me right away from years in the past of dropping in. Great workout, super friendly staff and members as well! Can’t wait to go back.

Ron’s the man! Great class, fun workout, great coach! Everyone needs to do a workout with Ron in their lifetime 💪😎

He did awesome, like always 🙃

Sam modified the workout for me because of my previous injury and demonstrated correct form. She re-corrected me if I wasn’t doing something right. I appreciated that very much.

Great space! Did the swim workout, harder than expected but still a gray time! Highly recommend!

👍👍👍

The BEST workout truly lives up to its name SWEAT 45. Coach Ron thank you for always pushing me out of my comfort zone.

Excellent

Great atmosphere, great coaching, super challenging yet fun workout!! Would not start my day any other way!! Thanks Ron!

So fun! Ron is great :)
