Our 2025 monthly rates for semi-private training are:

• 2x per week (Mon/Wed) = $223.57 + GST

• 2x per week (Tue/Thu) = $231.03 + GST

• 3x per week (Mon/Tue/Thu) = $327.91 + GST

• 3x per week (Mon/Wed/Thu) = $335.36 + GST

• 4x per week = $447.15 + GST

• NOTE: We do not offer any options for training only once per week.

There is an initial 3-month commitment (automatically billed monthly). After that, it’s month-to-month - no long-term contracts.

All in-person training memberships require pre-authorized payment by Visa or Mastercard. Fees are billed in advance for each month of training.

In addition to our in-person, small group training sessions, we also frequently hold “extracurricular activities” with our members, like group road or trail runs, hikes, and obstacle practice for those training for Spartan Race or other OCR events.

We also run member-only Challenges throughout the year, centred around various activity, nutrition or lifestyle-related endeavours, usually with some prizes for participation.

All of our members also have FREE access to all of our online courses on nutrition, mindset, sleep and stress management. We highly recommend that everyone go through our course “The Essentials of Healthy Eating” as part of their journey, but it’s not required. You can check out the courses we offer at this link.

Our in-person training members also have the option to add on one-on-one nutrition, mindset and lifestyle coaching to their membership at an exclusive, discounted rate not available to the public. You can learn more about coaching at this link.

All sessions at The BTG are led by me, Coach JP, personally, and our training facility is at my home, so there are no drop-in options available.

All sessions are scheduled in advance, and most members attend training at the same days and times each week (though we do have a couple of folks on shift work whose schedules vary).

We run in-person training Monday to Thursday, with sessions available most days at 9 AM, 10 AM, 4 PM, 5 PM, 6 PM and 7 PM.

Current available time slots are listed in the scrolling bar above this FAQ.

Our schedule is quite full and we have limited spaces available, so if you’re interested in training with us, Apply Now to fill out the application form and schedule a call with me.

We’ll discuss schedule as part of your initial consultation call.

We are closed ALL stat holidays, including:

• New Year’s Day (January 1)

• BC Family Day (3rd Monday in February)

• Good Friday and Easter Monday (dates vary)

• Victoria Day (3rd Monday in May)

• Canada Day (July 1)

• BC Day (1st Monday in August)

• Labour Day (1st Monday in September)

• The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation (September 30)

• Thanksgiving (2nd Monday in October)

• Remembrance Day (November 11)

• Christmas Day and Boxing Day (dates vary)

Membership rates are discounted accordingly for the stat holidays that fall on Mondays.

If Canada Day, The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, and Remembrance Day fall on training days, we will also discount membership rates to account for those. In 2025, with these holidays falling on Tuesdays, we’ll also be closed on the Mondays preceding them, and our 2025 rates have been discounted accordingly.

Our monthly membership rates are based on 48 weeks of training per year, divided into 12 equal monthly payments. This is so that we can close for a total of 4 weeks of staff holidays (16 training days) each year in addition to our stat holiday closures above. If Christmas Day, Boxing Day or New Year’s Day fall on training days in a given year, these are deducted from our 16 training days’ closures covered by this arrangement. I do make my best effort to ensure that any other training days I take for holidays are evenly split among the days of the week in fairness to everyone.

We do not suspend billing or give credits for member holidays except for those during the initial 3-month period that were already planned / booked ahead of signing up for training. In those cases, we adjust the member’s billing renewal dates to accommodate for these already-planned events.

Everything we do is designed to be as joint-friendly as possible, and scalable to all levels of fitness and physical ability, so the answer is probably yes. Coach JP's original training background was primarily in post-rehab conditioning - that is, exercise for recovery from injury, surgery, etc., so we're comfortable working with just about anything you can bring to the table. If we can't work with your issues, we'll help you find someone here in town who can.

Our Sem-Private Training workouts scale to all strength and ability levels, so we can get you working hard at your level in a group setting right away.

We just ask that you be willing to work hard and test your limits early and often, because we find that's the quickest path to improvement. If you're willing to commit to working hard, we can absolutely make training at The BTG work for you.

Us having a really solid knowledge of how you move is super important for us in evaluating how you'll fit into our Semi-Private Training sessions. We need to know where you're at to make sure you're not going to get injured, and so we can figure out how best to help you meet your training goals.

Honestly, most people end up displaying similar issues due to the prevalence of chronic seated posture / behaviour in our modern society. The most common things we see are tight but weak hip flexors, under-active glutes, forward head and shoulder positioning, weak grip, and poor core timing/coordination and strength.

Instead of taking you through a static "assessment", your first session with us is our "On-Ramp" program, where we get a look at how you move by having you...well...move!

We'll take you through the fundamental movement patterns we use in the gym to see what you already do well, and what needs work so we can work out a game plan for your continued training with us, and also give you some concrete things you can start doing right away at home to accelerate your progress.

For the large majority of people, that is more effective and time-efficient than a canned "assessment", and gets you moving towards your goals sooner.

There is no charge for our On-Ramp session.

To be "toned" you need to have muscle. To build muscle, you need to lift/move/carry heavy things, including your own bodyweight. That is strength training.

Building muscle doesn't mean looking like a bodybuilder. In fact, most people's bodies 100% cannot look like a bodybuilder's without significant pharmaceutical aid (E.G. steroids, HGH, etc.).

It’s awesome that you already have some steady-state cardio kind of work happening, whether that be running, cycling, swimming or whatever the case may be - it is a very important part of having a balanced approach to fitness. What we do in our conditioning classes is different, and will complement your steady-state cardio training.

By doing high-intensity interval training like we do in the conditioning-oriented parts of our sessions, you’ll enhance your ability to go hard, recover, and go hard again. Perfect for crushing the rolling hills on a run course, or sprinting to break away from the pack when cycling!

We’ve had numerous runners and other endurance athletes train with us and find that their performance has dramatically improved despite running or cycling the same or even less mileage because they can push harder with less effort than before.
