Five Stars – One of the Best CrossFit Gyms in Mainland!Joining Overdrive Athletic Club has truly been one of the best decisions I’ve made. I’ve only been training here for just under two weeks, but it already feels like home. From day one, I was welcomed into an incredibly supportive and positive community — one built by the passion and vision of founder Marco Tan.Marco isn’t just a coach — he’s a true leader and mentor. His focus on proper form, technique, and humility sets this gym apart from the rest. He takes the time to teach, to correct, and to uplift. You can tell he genuinely cares about everyone’s progress, both inside the gym and in life. He trains us to be strong in body and in mind, and that mindset shift is something I’m already starting to feel.The people here come from all walks of life, and yet we all move together with the same warrior spirit that Marco instills in us. It’s more than just fitness — it’s a community that builds confidence, strength, and positivity.Thank you, Marco, for building something truly special. I’m so grateful to be part of the Overdrive family! Less

I was passing through Vancouver and went to Overdrive on a recommendation from a friend. The coach and members at Overdrive were super welcoming, motivating and I felt right at home. We did the 25.1 Open and it was lots of fun! I’d definitely be back next time I’m in Vancouver. Highly recommend! Less

I’ve been going to Overdrive for almost a year and a half now. I’ve gotten stronger for sure. I like the fact that coaches are there to correct our forms and provide modifications if necessary. The coaches and people have also become friends. Less

I've been to many CrossFit gyms (including running my own before moving to Canada) and I have to say that Overdrive makes me feel at home. ❤️ It's convenient to get to, clean, spacious, and has all the equipment you need to get any CrossFit workout done. But more importantly, the coaches (shout-out to Marco, Ayden, and Gui) and community make everyone feel comfortable and included right from the get go. I was anxious stepping into a new gym but everyone has just made me feel so welcome. Now I can't imagine working out elsewhere! Less

Coach Gui is amazing! He is very welcoming and is always checking in with athletes. Being new to CrossFit he always ensures all my questions are answered and provides modifications if needed to be successful while I continue to work on my mobility. Additionally, he is very knowledgeable and passionate about coaching! Less

Coach Sameen’s workouts are energetic and motivating, with exercises that push you while staying fun. She chooses routines that match your fitness level, leaving you feeling stronger every time. Less

Great class with Coach Spencer. My first day back after summer break. He gave me great tips to help me workout hard at the level I was at today. I left feeling great! Less

Overdrive has an incredible community, and the coaches are absolutely amazing. The weightlifting class I had with Sameen on Saturday morning was excellent. We practiced snatch techniques and received a lot of helpful feedback from Sameen. Thanks for being so awesome team! Amra Less

A very well paced and executed workout! For me personally, it was quite tailored to match the physical requirements of my daily work and served as a great benchmark, one which I can now measure from in the future. Thanks Marco! Less

Marco did excellent work coaching us today.He focused on helping me with form and techniques also explained how to connect with my body and brain while lifting weights. Thank you Marco! Less

Really enjoy my classes here at Overdrive. The people are super friendly, you feel welcomed to this close-knit community. The coaches are attentive and will give you proper guidance depending on where you are at. You are pushed enough out of your comfort zone with support to ensure your success. I like the fact that there is a heavy focus on form and techniques first not just going heavier and faster. Newbie won't feel out of place and the veteran won't feel neglected. Highly recommended this box if you are looking to try crossfit or wanting to continue your crossfit journey! Less

Overdrive is more than a gym, it's a community. The feeling that everyone is welcome is instilled from the owner, the instructors and the athletes. I'm new to Crossfit and always feel welcome and supported. Rest assured, if you are at any level of your Crossfit journey, Overdrive is the place to be. Less

After years of unsuccessful attempts to start working out, I met the Overdrive Family. Great social environment , Fantastic and always supportive coaches. I would definitely recommend anyone who wants to start exercising but doesn't know where to start to come to Overdrive Athletic Club and meet Coach Marco, Sameen and Jacky. Less

Simply best gym, best coaches, best community.Update after 1 year in Overdrive:1. Great programming, all my PRs on a barbell increased. I started to handstand walk and did my first ring muscle up ) and 0 injuries.2. Coaches - those guys are the best. Supportive, always ready to help or give a technic advise.3. Community - a lot of great people out there, cheering for you during the WODs. Less

The coaches here are very accountable and professional for the members. They provide the training guides based on the different levels. I can see my progress through the whole year! So lucky to join here! Less

I absolutely love this crossfit gym! All the trainers are incredible knowledgeable and supportive, pushing me to achieve my goals. The sense of community here is amazing. Everyone is friendly and encouraging. Highly recommend this gym. Less

Warning for those thinking of joining Overdrive: you’ll get addicted! Whether it’s the positive and professional coaching, the awesome workouts, or the welcoming community, you will find a reason to stay. I’ve gone from basically no workouts for several years to 3 times a week and it’s not enough. If my schedule allowed, I would go daily. I really appreciate the coaches ability to scale workouts for any fitness level, injury, or even just an off day (while still challenging you). They also pay close attention to form and technique, which I feel is invaluable for progressing in your fitness journey. It’s fun and challenging, and worth the money. It’s more than just a workout. Less

Great Community, great workout, coaches are well trained, professional , friendly and it s a great place to start doing Crossfit and all the members are friendly :) Less

Coach Sammy’s vibe was amazing! Everyone was so nice! The equipment, location and attention was a 10/10! For sure visiting again next time I’m in town. 🫶🏻 Less

Starting crossfit as an absolute beginner in their 40's is daunting. I have a bunch of chronic injuries from a lifetime of sports so I was understandably apprehensive to start complex Olympic lifts and weighted compound movements. I could not have chosen a better gym to join. Overdrive makes it very clear that they have long term goals in mind. While each coach has a distinct style of teaching, the unifying theme at the gym is an emphasis on correct form and technique over "go all out all the time until you break" mentality. They have regular coaching session for weightlifting techniques so you always have the opportunity to catch up and participate fully in all the workouts. The atmosphere is friendly and encouraging and fosters distinct sense of community. All in all I wish I had found this place ten years ago but for now I leave every workout looking forward to the next one. Less

Dropped in for a 6am class while I was in Richmond. Very friendly and inviting group of people. Will definitely stop in again next time I’m in Richmond. Less

Great space, and coaches are top notch. Was only here temporarily, but the entire crew and community made it easy to fit in. Definitely would recommend going to see these guys if you’re in the area. Less

Rehabilitating in this energizing, welcoming club after injured in a car accident, from day one, as soon as I get into the door, immersed in its positive, supportive environment, the pain gets milder. My kinesiologist Sameen, helping me through the tough times with her beautiful smile, warm heart, professional expertise, soon I will be able to live my life a functional and pain free life, thank you! Amazing team of coaches and health professionals highly recommended! Less

Overdrive provides excellent consulting services. It helps you to focus and correct your weakness, and encourages you to push your limit and enhance your performance. Prior to joining the club, they would encourage you for couple 1-1 sessions to ensure your weaknesses are corrected so that you can keep up with the group. Highly recommend this club to you if you want to enhance your overall fitness performance and look for an engaged fitness group. Less

This is the place to go! The coaches here are super cool, professional, friendly and know how to improve you. The programs here are for everybody no matter what level you are, and they are fun. More importantly, it is a warm community! Less

The gym is big and well equipped, clean and the instructors are very welcoming and knowledgeable. I recommend to anyone in the area to come down and join the gym, or simply to have a work out session. Less

Went into CrossFit Overdrive with zero knowledge about CrossFit. I feel like I couldn’t ask for a better place but here. Also the coaches have a great sense of humour & are super motivating. 💪 Less

I joined Overdrive almost 6 months ago and I’m so glad I did. The coaches are very knowledgeable, supportive and truly care about the progress and well-being of each and every member no matter what fitness level you are at. The workouts are always challenging and varied which keeps me motivated and coming back for more. I have seen significant improvements in my overall fitness since joining. I highly recommend Overdrive to anyone looking for a challenging and supportive environment full of an amazing community of people. Less

Once you are here, there’s no way out. You will get addictive to working out, find your new friends and be surrounded with support and fulfillment. If you don’t believe me, just try. Less

HANDS DOWN THE BEST BOX.Been going there for almost 6 months and the results are incredible. Great team of coaches who knows how to push to the limit and BREAK IT in the best way possible. Great VIBE and community makes me want to go everyday. Less

Very inclusive and supportive community! Workouts are varied and well-designed to be both scalable to your level of fitness and also challenging to CrossFit veterans and fitness freaks. If you're trying to find a way to make fitness fun, this is your place! Less

Did drop in classes and open gym at this amazing box! The community is very friendly and both Coach Marco and Coach Cole are very knowledgeable as well as accommodating and encouraging. Would highly recommend this box to anyone staying in this area or even staying far away, as it is definitely worth the trek! 5+ stars 👊🏽 Less

I went to Overdrive while living in Richmond for a few months. It is an incredible gym. The atmosphere is welcoming, coaching is precise and encouraging, and the programming was purposeful and effective. I was only staying in Richmond for a few months, so they created a contract that would meet my needs. I miss the community and look forward to attending whenever I pass through Richmond in the future! Less

Although this is way out of my comfort zone . The experience I had was beyond excellent. The coach Richard was very friendly, knowledgeable, friendly, and encouraging. Less

Friendly, spacious, safe and accommodating. This box encourages and values individual growth. Great community, most welcoming box I've been too and the coaches are educated and very attentive! Less

Coaches have awesome attention to detail and are easy to talk to! From my experience, class sizes are smaller than what I'm used to and that has helped ease any visitor anxiety. The athletes are friendly and open to partnering up when the wod calls for it! I appreciate how accommodating this box has been and will keep coming back whenever I'm in Richmond. Less

I've been to a handful of boxes over the years and this box is one of the best boxes I've been to. Good community, attentive and knowledgeable coaches, and lots of space and equipment. Less

This place is amazing. Not only are the coaches really nice people but they actually take the time to explain and coach you. The community is just down right awesome. Highly recommend this box. Less

The owner, coaches and athletes of the box are very friendly and motivate you to get better. I learned a lot more about crossfit at the time I was here. Less
