If your current workout routine involves thinking about going to the gym… this might be the motivation you’ve been waiting for.
Fitness World Canada is bringing its elevated training concept, TRAIN by FW, to University Village at UBC this summer—and it’s shaping up to be a serious game-changer for campus fitness.
Not your average gym
First things first: this isn’t your typical big-box gym.
TRAIN by FW is designed as a training club—meaning you can go solo, work one-on-one with a trainer, or jump into small-group sessions that actually push you (in the best way). And with memberships starting at just $29.99 bi-weekly, it’s built to be as accessible as it is high-performance.
What you’ll actually want to show up for
Spanning 13,000 square feet, the space is compact but intentional—no wasted corners, no waiting around.
Inside, you’ll find everything from Olympic lifting platforms and serious strength equipment to cardio that doesn’t feel like an afterthought. There’s also THE WORX (their signature small-group training program), plus a dedicated “Booty Builder” zone that pretty much speaks for itself.
And because recovery is part of the glow-up, expect perks like a sauna, infrared light therapy, massage chairs, Normatec compression, and Hypervolt tools—aka everything your body will thank you for the next day.
Right where you need it
Located steps from campus at University Village, this new spot is designed for real life—whether you’re a student squeezing in a quick lift, a parent juggling schedules, or just someone who wants a no-excuses workout option close to home.
The takeaway
Fitness World has been on a major growth streak—and this latest opening proves they’re leaning hard into what people actually want: high-quality training, thoughtful amenities, and pricing that doesn’t feel like a commitment.
Bottom line? Your new workout era might be starting this summer. —Noa Nichol

The new UBC Recreation Centre North has transformed campus fitness with top-tier facilities, providing a massive, state-of-the-art space that’s perfect for any workout routine.
After comparing multiple luxury flooring providers, Divya Gem Stonex delivered something truly rare design with investment value. Their approach to Gemstone Inlay Work for Floor is not just decorative, it elevates the entire property’s perception. The precision, gemstone selection, and finishing reflect elite craftsmanship. What stood out was their ability to customize based on architectural themes. This isn’t ordinary flooring, it’s a long-term statement piece that adds real luxury appeal. Highly recommended for premium real estate projects.

Great to read something written in a simple and natural style without making everything complicated. I recently explored PlayVio games and found some really fun browser gaming and arcade games that load quickly and work smoothly online.
