About Us
If you called us a Boutique Fitness Center in North Vancouver, you’d be right.
ur Gym
The minute you walk through our doors, you’ll feel the difference – this isn’t a “gym” or a place filled with artificial people – we’re a friendly, welcoming place where women and men of all ages and fitness levels can get (and stay) in shape.
Our environment is clean and comfortable – indeed, some would say it has a ‘Zen’-like feel. It’s also exceedingly private – while well-lit and welcoming, there are no large windows for people walking by to watch you work out.
We are a state-of-the-art facility, with a large, bright, mirrored workout studio, and have quiet spaces for Yoga, Thai Massage and Somatic Classes. So whether you are here for a small group session or for a one on one session, you’ll feel like the Alchemy Centre was built exclusively for you.

who we serve
We’re extremely welcoming here, and we cater to those who, for one reason
or another, a big impersonal gym simply doesn’t work.

- If you are out of shape, intimidated by even “starting”, and want to take small steps in the beginning, we’re perfect for you, too.
- If you want to work out the correct way, and not get injured, we’re ideal for that.
- If you have young children and want a safe place to work out where they can accompany you, we’re for you as well.
