Top Features to Look for in a Vancouver Gym

Gyms can make for memorable events. Whether you’re hosting a party or a commercial shoot, here are some key features to consider when choosing a gym.

What’s the quality of the gym equipment? If the equipment is to be the center stage of your photo shoot, training session, or commercial shoot, then the quality should play a pivotal role when choosing the venue.

What’s the space layout like? Do you need a huge gym with a mostly empty center to set up your photography equipment? How about a turf area for the perfect contrast of green? Is the space big enough for your fitness clients to finish a full-body workout or fulfill their fitness objectives? In Vancouver, you can find all types of gyms, so it’s a matter of finding the right fit for you.

How tidy is the space? A gym that is being actively used by gymgoers will have a more homely feel, and you’ll see some faded paint and scratched surfaces. If you’re going for an upscale photo shoot, you’re better off looking for luxurious gyms dedicated to private classes similar to Anytime Fitness.

Things to Consider for Renting a Gym in Vancouver

Before committing to a gym in Vancouver, here are some of the pros and cons of choosing this city as your event destination.

Advantages

• Vancouver is one of the few lucky places in Canada where you’ll get to experience all four distinct seasons—from cool winters with plenty of rain to warm, sunny summers, perfect for outdoor activities.

• There are plenty of sleek gyms in Vancouver with brand-new equipment, open spaces, and plenty of natural light. If you’re looking for a workout area for your creative photo or video shoot, there are no better places than a gym.

• Compared to other types of venues, gyms are considerably more affordable and can make for more memorable experiences. Browse a curated list of gyms for rent in Vancouver from the Giggster app!

Disadvantages

• Vancouver is among the most populous cities in Canada, and all types of venues are always in high demand. Use a platform like Giggster to book the perfect gym for your event!

• Due to the cost required to keep a gym in prime condition, you may find that the minimum booking time for the fancier ones tends to be on the long side.

• Vancouver is a very expensive city, and if you don’t use a platform like Giggster to find deals, you’ll end up paying a lot just for the venue.

How to Plan a Gym Event

If you’re ready to let your creativity loose and want to start planning, here are some things to keep in mind when planning your special event.

Define the Scope of Your Project – What’s the purpose of your event? Is it a photo shoot, or are you hosting a workshop or a training session? Knowing the exact type of space you need and the nonnegotiables will help you pick the right revenue.

Determine Your Budget – After defining exactly what you need and the scope of your event, it’s time to set a budget. If you’re doing a photo or video shoot, chances are you won’t need refreshments, but if you’re hosting a workshop or training session, you might. Determine your budget based on what you actually need!

Check the Amenities Available – Do you need additional equipment like sound systems and lighting rigs? Read the fine print and check what the venue offers; you may have to look at add-on amenities or local rental businesses for specialized equipment.

How to Save Money on a Gym Rental in Vancouver

While it’s true Vancouver is expensive, you don’t have to break the bank to host an amazing event. Find the most affordable spaces with Giggster and make the most of your investment!

Stick to your budget.

In a city like Vancouver, where expenses can easily snowball out of control, sticking to your initial budget is doubly important. You set your budget for a reason, and sticking to it is the best way to save money.

Choose a less popular time.

If you’re on a budget, the best time of the year to plan an event in Vancouver is between March and May or between September and November, when flights, hotel prices, and venues are the cheapest. If you don’t have that much flexibility, you can book a gym on weekdays when there’s slightly less demand for venues.

Rent the equipment you need.

You should never be buying brand-new equipment for your one-off photo shoot or event. If you found the perfect venue but it doesn’t have all the equipment you need, don’t worry. In Vancouver, you can find plenty of rental businesses.
