Started training here 3 months ago and got hooked very quick - I go to 6-10 classes a week and spend many hours training
Sam, Erik, Clay, and chase are all amazing coaches who you will see regularly, along with Austin on occasion
There is more casual lessons, and the coaches will pick it up a notch for regulars or folks taking it more serious. Highly recommend stopping by for a free class if you are interested in training

Thanks for the great review Austin!
Came in with no experience and did kickboxing and boxing. Did it for about 6 months, only stopped because of work. Would recommend them they have good pricing and different programs to try. And i came out feeling so confident in my abilities to defend my self, better myself, challeng myself, ect. Eric and Clayton are gentlemen
I've been attending this gym for almost 2 years and I love the coaches. Eric is funny and supportive, Chase is very supportive, especially when I was doing a tournament. Clayton is a small king who will try his hardest to teach you boxing. The teammates are great once you get to know them. You'll get fit pretty quickly. The schedules change sometimes, but it's still worth going to.
"I’ve been taking the BJJ classes at Elite for some time now and can say it’s been an awesome experience. From day one, I was warmly welcomed and supported by everyone. The coaches and fellow practitioners have been patient, encouraging, and willing to help me improve. Chase, the head coach, has a teaching style that is effective and engaging. He keeps all the classes well structured, paced, and informative. Overall, I highly recommend this BJJ gym to anyone looking to learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
I love this gym. The culture at Vancouver Elite is incredibly welcoming and supportive starting with gym manager Eric. He’s always smiling, ready to welcome new faces and obviously provides incredible coaching. If you’re more advanced there’s plenty of opportunities to test yourself, Coach Dima is a world class fighter and a hell of a good guy as well. Classes available all day long, come join us! Honestly it’s fun and addicting plus you’ll get in great shape. See you on the mats!
I have been regularly attending the BJJ classes taught here and feel like I can reliably say that Vancouver Elite is top notch. The head instructor for the BJJ class, Chase, is a black belt and is a fantastic teacher. He is always training and staying up to date with latest BJJ knowledge and often teaches things to his students that he is also working on, proving that his knowledge is always relevant and effective. I am a smaller female, and feel 100% safe with my teammates while also staying contentious and taken seriously as an athlete. There is a core group of people of all ages, sizes and levels that show up regularly so you almost never have to worry about not having a partner to train with. Overall, the best gym I’ve had the privilege to train at, and highly encourage and recommend to all in the Vancouver area and beyond.
We have attended classes here for 4 months and they have consistently been unreliable. The schedule is never correct, the coaches show up when they want, there is a huge lack of communication between the owner his coaches and the clients. There is absolutely zero accountability, structure, or discipline. The customer service is the worst I’ve ever experienced with any gym.

Kandice we understand your frustration, and we too are frustrated. Covid-19 has made staffing amongst many other things very difficult. Health and safety of our coaches, members, and community will always come first; as inconvenient as that may be at times with schedule changes. We will continue to strive to do our best and provide the quality service our members deserve!
