Forge Your Power, Ignite Your Potential
Look, we didn't start CinderVault because we wanted another boring big-box gym in Vancouver. We started it 'cause we were tired of the same old treadmill-and-mirror routine that wasn't getting anyone real results.
Back in 2019, a few of us were training out of a buddy's garage - nothing fancy, just barbells, kettlebells, and people who actually wanted to put in the work. We'd finish sessions covered in chalk dust and sweat, feeling like we'd actually accomplished something. That's when it hit us - this is what a real training space should feel like.
So we found this old warehouse space on Granville, gutted it, and built what you see today. No rows of ellipticals, no juice bar with overpriced smoothies, just solid equipment and a crew that'll push you harder than you thought possible.
We're not here to coddle anyone or sell you on some magic 30-day transformation. What we offer is straightforward - proper coaching, programs that actually work, and a community of people who show up and do the damn work. That's it.
Join Our CommunitySix years of building something different
Started with 8 people, a squat rack, and way too much ambition. Training sessions at 6am before everyone's day jobs. Cold in winter, hot as hell in summer, but nobody complained.
Signed the lease on Granville Street in February. Then... well, you know what happened. Spent lockdown renovating instead of opening. Maybe a blessing - gave us time to build it right.
Finally opened in spring with capacity limits and all that jazz. 30 founding members who trusted us enough to sign up sight unseen. We owe those folks everything.
Hit 200 members and had to expand. Knocked down a wall, added more platforms, brought on three more coaches. Things were getting real.
Now we're here - 350+ members, incredible coaching staff, and people actually getting the results they came for. We're not perfect, but we're real, and that counts for something.
