Personal Training FAQ — Burnaby, BC

How much does personal training at Kraken cost in Burnaby?
plus icon

It depends on how often you train, whether you're one-on-one or semi-private, and how long you commit. Every plan comes with your own coach, a program written for you, nutrition coaching and gym access, so you're never just paying for someone's time. Tap Pricing at the top of the page, answer four quick questions, and you'll see your number. Your first week is free either way.

Is personal training worth it for weight loss?
plus icon

Yes, if it comes with nutrition and accountability. Workouts alone rarely move the scale. Kraken has helped over a thousand people lose fat and keep it off, and the difference is what happens between sessions: your coach manages your nutrition, checks in every week, and rescans you every month so nothing drifts for long. Among our tracked fat-loss clients, the average is 12.5 lb lost in the first 90 days.

What should I expect at my first personal training session?

Before you join, you come in for a no-sweat tour: walk the facility, meet a coach, no workout. Your first session after you join is the Blueprint meeting. It's 45 minutes, one-on-one: a 3D body scan, your goals, and an honest look at what's been getting in the way. You leave with a plan for your workouts, your nutrition, and how we'll keep you on track.What happens on the tour →What's in the Blueprint →

How often should I train with a personal trainer?
plus icon

Most of our clients train 2 or 3 times a week, 45 minutes a session. That's enough to see real change without it taking over your life. Your coach sets the frequency with you based on your schedule and your goals, and adjusts it at your weekly check-in when life gets in the way.

Can I do personal training if I’m a beginner or out of shape?
plus icon

That's exactly who this is built for. Most people who walk in here have never felt like a gym person. You'll never be thrown into a workout you're not ready for. Your first sessions are spent learning the basics with your coach, at your pace, and everything after that is written for you.

What’s different about Kraken Fitness compared to other Burnaby gyms?
plus icon

Most gyms sell you access to equipment. Kraken sells you a result. You get a private 7,000 sq ft studio, your own coach, a program written for you, nutrition coaching, weekly check-ins, and monthly 3D body scans so you can see it working. And a community that actually notices when you don't show up. 400+ five-star Google reviews back that up.

How long will it take to see results?
plus icon

Most clients feel different in the first 2 to 3 weeks: more energy, better sleep, moving with less pain. Visible change usually shows up around 6 to 8 weeks, and your monthly 3D scans put numbers on it. Consistency matters more than intensity, and your coach's job is to make consistency easy.

Do you help with injuries or special conditions?
plus icon

Yes. Knee pain, back issues, post-surgery, postpartum: a big share of our clients start there. Every program is adapted to your body, beginning with a movement screen before you lift anything heavy. If you're working with a physiotherapist, we'll work with them too.

Do I have to follow a strict diet?
plus icon

No. No crash diets, and no cutting out everything you enjoy. Your coach finds the one habit that's actually holding you back and fixes that first. Fix the behaviour and the food takes care of itself.
