Engineered Bodies Strength & Conditioning

I hit my mid-forties and decided I needed to really do something about my strength and mobility, having never even lifted as much as a barbell before.I couldn’t be happier that I chose EB and the changes they’ve helped me make towards my goals. The coaches I’ve worked with are awesome and really focus on good technique and getting the most out of each session (thank-you Anthony, Sara, Ashten and Sam!). The custom programs that Anthony and his team run have a great balance of continuity to develop technique and variety to keep things interesting.I used to be intimidated by the thought of heading into a gym and lifting weights, but at EB I genuinely look forward to every session!If you’re looking to make effective changes to your strength and fitness in a safe and welcoming environment then Engineered Bodies is definitely worth checking out.

I was referred to Engineered Bodies by a friend when I was looking to make a real change to my fitness routine. I was also recovering from a recent injury, on top of a couple lingering ones, and I liked the idea of the personalized workout plans that Engineered Bodies offered to help with my injuries. But I didn't expect to see results as soon as I did. I had a lingering shoulder injury from a few years prior from playing volleyball, and I would typically feel pain after a few swings. Once Anthony assessed me and I started training, I saw little improvements in my shoulder mobility pretty quickly, but after only a few months of training and targeted shoulder movements, I had gained enough strength back in my shoulder that I was able to hit the ball harder than I had in years, with zero pain.I've been training for just over half a year now, and I already know I plan to stay long term. I have seen real improvements in my strength and mobility across the board in the short time I've been there.The coaches are also very supportive and knowledgeable, and really do care about your health and fitness goals. I had very little experience weightlifting or doing many of the movements that are now part of my programming prior to starting my training here, but it didn't matter because the coaches are always there to support you and teach you how to do movements properly.I would absolutely recommend Engineered Bodies to anyone. The coaches are fantastic, and their custom programming gives flexibility so that you can get exactly what you want out of your workouts.

I joined Engineered Bodies this summer and it has been one of the best decisions I've made. I mostly train with Anthony, and he and the whole EB community is super supportive and encouraging. Anthony and Sam manage the gym in such a way that it feels like my second home. If my cat would be there it would be my first home for sure :D I also work with Meghan on my nutrition and she has been awesome, sharing so much advice on how to reach my goals with proper nutrition. My goal was and is to increase my strength. And I am super happy with how far I've have come in such a short time. I am lifting weights that I could not imagine lifting before and I feel strong and mobile at the same time. I specifically worked on my knee strength and shoulder mobility. Anthony would always take the time to come up with exercises that directly address my concerns and strengthen my weak spots". Also

I joined Engineered Bodies in March of 2022 after training at another local gym and not getting the level of coaching I was hoping for and I couldn't be happier with my decision. The coaches and trainers are extremely knowledgeable and supportive.The community of members is also amazing - everyone is supportive and welcoming, making it a great place to work out and socialize. The gym offers a variety of class times and training programs to suit different fitness levels and goals, and the equipment is always well-maintained and clean.I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking for a community to help them reach their fitness goals.

The gym has a welcoming and encouraging ambiance. I am a grad student in a STEM field at SFU. With an extremely hectic schedule, the gym's convenient location and flexible timings are a godsend.Everyone in the gym is very friendly, encouraging, and helpful. The gym itself is spacious, clean, and has great cross ventilation.Anthony is an amazing coach. He is very thorough, and quick to answer any emails or texts.I am learning Olympic weightlifting from him.The first session was a joint mobility assessment. Anthony pinpointed all the problem areas precisely and gave me an effective exercise program tailored to work on all my weaknesses.The next two sessions focused on the technique and form of snatch and clean.I had never done weightlifting before and was fascinated and intimidated by the snatch. Fortunately, Anthony broke down the complex movement into several easy-to-learn steps. Moreover, Anthony was extremely helpful in pointing out my mistakes every step of the way and offering valuable insights on correcting them.I also find it motivating that the gym has TVs showing lifts from various weightlifting competitions.Anthony also drops a ton of invaluable advice to boost mobility for desk workers. His tips effectively counter the negative impact of a sedentary lifestyle and poor posture.Despite a previous hip injury, I am optimistic that I will safely be able to perform exercises such as snatch, clean, and jerk with Anthony's guidance. I strongly suggest Engineered Bodies as a worthwhile investment for anyone looking to become stronger and improve their overall well-being.

Engineered Bodies is a fantastic gym and worth the monthly fees. The coaching that is provided is amazing and it is a supportive environment. The coaches take the time to provide constructive feedback and focus on quality movements. I am not athletic and it takes time for me to get the movements to where it should be. The coaches are patient and try presenting different cues to see which works. It does take some getting used to if you are used to getting feedback from working out with mirrors and getting more in tuned with feeling the movement and being more aware of what is happening. No matter where you are in the fitness journey, you are made to feel welcomed. Definitely worth checking out!

Cannot recommend this gym highly enough although - strange as it is to say - I've never stepped foot inside the physical space.I enrolled in an online coaching program with coach Anthony about six months ago with the goals (at age 47) of greater strength, increased mobility, and getting rid of the dad bod".Over these past few months I've received certified

Exactly a Year ago I was looking for something that is different from the regular gyms, as I have been working out in the regular gyms for a while until that point. I was putting on some muscle but wasn't feeling stronger and athletic in my sport (badminton). I did a bit of research and found Olympic lifting is good to develop overall strength and power. I went on google and looked up Olympic lifting near me, and google could not have suggested a better place. Quickly sent an email by clicking on the Contact Us link on the website. Anthony was quick to get back, and he scheduled a one on one intro and assessment session. Since then it has been an amazing journey until today.Anthony quickly assessed me in the intro session and found the root cause for my lower back pain and shoulder pain. He explained to me what's causing the pain and gave me a few mobility exercises to address my condition. Once I started following his program, I saw improvement almost immediately. One year into working with Anthony, I feel a lot stronger and flexible, and the best part is, all the gains translated into my sport of Badminton.All the coaches at Engineered Bodies are very friendly, and the place itself is very welcoming, no matter who is handling the session. Even the members in the gym are very friendly and overall, it’s a very tight knit community. I would recommend all my friends and family to work with Anthony at his gym as he is very good at custom programming that aligns with your goals and needs. I am extremely happy that I chose to train at Engineered bodies.

I joined Engineered Bodies almost a year ago and it has been a great experience so far! I have been attending their Olympic weightlifting classes and the coaching has been amazing. They provide excellent one-on-one coaching advice and can tailor specific workouts within group classes to your own personal needs. Whether the workouts need to be adjusted to accommodate an injury or to address a weakness in technique, you are sure to get great advice that will help you better.All workout sessions are accompanied by a coach that is available for advise and guidance on lifting and technique. The gym is well equipment with everything you would need to develop and get better in any area of focus.I would highly recommend this gym to anyone in the Port Moody and Coquitlam area!

I relocated to Port Moody, BC a year ago and was looking for a gym that had the same community feel, welcoming environment, and knowledgeable, friendly coaches that I had left back in my old home. I am so happy I came across engineered bodies- because it checked all those boxes and more. Anthony and his wife Sam were so welcoming from get go. I started off in their functional fitness program with coach Megan, which was a perfect opportunity to meet some fellow locals and have some fun sweating. I then transitioned into a custom program when I started back into trail running. My goal was to supplement my running and build strength so I could avoid injury and increase my mobility and Coach Anthony has challenged me to do things I never thought I would do before. All of the coaches are very knowledgeable and there is no ego, which is always a welcomed sign of a good, strong community when everyone is cheering you on no matter what your goals are.I know it may be intimidating to walk into a gym that has alot of barbells and no frills, but I promise you, that you are walking into a community focused and highly knowledgeable space that ensures you are training safely and effectively to achieve your goals- whatever they may be. I am so grateful to the EB coaches and community for being so welcoming. I am also the strongest I have ever been. I am finally training smarter and not harder which I can only chalk up to coaches at EB.
