Spartacus Gym has been a fixture in East Van since 1974, providing a wide range of fitness amenities and classes to its members. The gym offers an extensive collection of weights, cardio equipment, and group classes such as Yoga and martial arts like Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Kickboxing. Customers appreciate the friendly staff, great atmosphere, and "old school" vibe of the gym, though some wish the weekend hours were the same as weekdays or that it was open 24 hours. The personal trainers are described as thorough, caring, and helpful in assisting members in achieving their fitness goals. The gym maintains a well-organized and clean facility, with a great variety of machines and free weights, making it easy for members to switch up their routines. Memberships and pricing are considered incredibly fair, and the gym has a reputation as a reliable and long-standing community hub, having been around since 1975.
I drive 20 minutes to go here because it’s better than all the other gyms nearby. Equipment and vibe is super solid and staff has awesome music taste too which makes it even cooler. Only thing I’d say is a lot of the benches are wobbly which makes me feel a little uneasy pressing, and lat pulldown machines could be improved by shortening the cables, allowing for more range of motion
Spartacus Gym is the best boutique local gym in Vancouver. Roy Duquette isn't only one of the best personal trainers in Van city, but also a veteran in mixed martial arts, jiu jitsu and kickboxing. Fluid studied techniques, and hard work over 30 years. He sticks to what he knows. (Coached world class athletes for many years)You will learn his sharp philosophies has shaped him into the man he is today. Anti BS, intellectual, who would make a stellar life coach. Thanks again Mr.Duquette.
I love coming here, but please for the love of god improve the ventilation and maintain your equipment 🙏. The floors are filthy to do any ground work even with the mats, and many equipment pieces could do with a wipe down and replaced parts due to being bent, frayed, or taped together.
