Our gym
Rascal’s is a Vancouver based gym for people who are curious about the intersection of body, mind and heart. For people who have the grit it takes to do the work to renew all three. At Rascal’s, we create an environment of safety, inclusivity, challenge and experiment to bring out the best you’ve got.

We keep our core strong and simple by staying true to our values:

Transformation
An obvious player in strength and fitness, transformation is at the heart of how we approach training.
We seek to improve your:
- Physical health
- Mental health
- Longevity
- Hormonal regulation
- Bone density
- Performance

Adequacy
Sound strange in the world of training? Adequacy is essential to how we operate and set goals. Oftentimes society values excellence above all else, which can be good. But excellence can also be intimidating. When it comes to strength and fitness, adequacy may eventually lead to excellence, but what we care about at Rascal’s is that it leads to action. An adequate body handles the demands of life and bounces back quickly from setbacks. An adequate mind is buoyant, and capable of staying afloat in even the most stressful situations. An adequate heart, though small, can do some pretty big things.

Rascal’s Backyard Strength is a community where people can come as they are, then learn tools to change, grow and face life’s challenges and opportunities.

We’re a scrappy bunch.
