The other day, UFC veteran Tristan Connelly was at Black Rock teaching a couple of seminars. He’s trained in gyms all over the world, and while he was here he said something that really made us proud: “You guys are really lucky to have a gym like this.”
Recently, one of our own members, Andrew, had a similar experience. After doing business at a few other gyms around the Island, he came back and basically said, “I didn’t realize how good we had it here.”
When this is the gym you walk into every day, and maybe if it’s the only gym you’ve ever trained at, it’s easy to forget what we actually have.
A fully equipped, 4100 square foot facility. A huge variety of martial arts under one roof. Coaches with decades of experience. Active fighters and competitors. Classes for complete beginners all the way to experienced athletes. And, most importantly, a community of people who genuinely want to see each other get better.
We’re incredibly proud of what we’ve built at Black Rock but with current state of the world and all that comes with it, we also believe that a great gym shouldn’t have to come with a high price tag.
So we’ve changed our memberships.
🔴 Adult Standard Membership — $150/month
Unlimited access to our adult classes.
⚫️ Premium Membership — $200/month
Unlimited training plus additional Premium Member benefits.
⚪️ Teen Membership — $150/month
Unlimited access to teen classes.
And we now have flexible kids memberships starting at $145/month, with options for kids who want to train in one, two, or all three programs.
We believe training is an investment in your health, confidence and quality of life. If someone wants to train, get healthier, learn something new and become part of a great community, we don’t want price to be the reason they can’t.
We know how good we have it here and we want more people on Vancouver Island to experience it.
