Bikram Yoga Tri-City

I’m not a fan of Bikram’s 90 minute yoga, so you ask why I’m I here? I love regular yoga and don’t mind 60 minutes hot yoga and when I saw they offer other classes such as Yin (one of my favorite classes) and 60 min express yoga I had to come try it out. A great deal for new students $ 40 for unlimited 1 month yoga. Yoga in general can be very expensive, specials like this can give you a chance to try out places and see if you like the location, instructors, and yoga before committing. They have 1 large room, mirrors in front and on one side which is helpful. Great instructors, very helpful and knowledgeable. The bathroom have free small lockers to leave you valuables, showers, and filtered water. Also very clean, which is very important. Overall I like this studio everyone seems to be friendly and welcoming.

UPDATE: Since my last review the studio has improved their cleanliness! My nose is a lot happier these days as well as my poses =) Thank you!

After Bikram Yoga Burnaby (BYB) closed unexpectedly (which broke my heart), I was forced to find a new studio in the area.
Bikram Yoga Tri-​City was the closest to me, and they were kind enough to let me transfer the 8 remaining classes from by BYB class card to their studio at no cost. It is wonderful of them to absorb this cost for BYB students, as there are many BYB yogi (ni)s who are broken-​hearted and displaced after the closure of our home studio.
When I arrived I was greeted by two friendly faces to help me with the transition. They transferred my BYB classes with a problem. They were also sympathetic to my feelings of loss re: BYB while helping me get excited about what their studio has to offer.
There are some pros and cons to this studio, but I only say this by comparison to my outstanding experience at BYB.
Pros:
–The staff are warm, welcoming, and helpful;
–The owners are extremely kind taking on the classes from BYB students to help us find a new Bikram home;
–The ladies change room has lockers (free of charge) and plenty of seating /​storage;
–They offer purified water free of charge;
–For yogis (like me) who don’t want to bring their own mat/​towl, they offer mat and towel cards so you don’t have to worry about bringing your own or bringing change to the studio;
–The teachers are great and (added bonus) some have even come from BYB, so you’ll get a taste of familiarity;
–The yoga room is well structured — plenty of space, markets on the floor to keep the mats in order, and fans to keep the air moving throughout the room;
–There are many class times throughout the day, as well as a few 60 minute classes (versus the traditional 90) for the busy yogi (ni)s out there.
Cons:
–The facilities aren’t as modern as the ones I’m used to at BYB, so some of the amenities BYB offered aren’t available;
–The space is rather small, so there are some issues (e.g., only two showers so during busy classes the wait will be long, tiny change room, limited waiting area);
–The space isn’t as clean as BYB. I was truly spoiled by BYB though, and other studios I’ve been to are far less clean than Tri-​City.

love this place. I usually goto Elsa or Ellena’s program. had another great sweat! I only have one pet peeve. the guys washroom smells like a garbage and sometimes before class begins, the air freshener is Not on. other than that the energy is what you make of it. Congrats to Tricity Bikrams its been 10 years !

The instructors are extremely helpful and patient
and most importantly the facilities are very clean!
The prices here are reasonable and it doesn’t get too busy like
a lot of locations in Vancouver.
The best hours to come are near closing or in the early afternoon.

I LOVE BIKRAM YOGA!!!
I started yoga to help my back and after the first class, I loved it right away!
Good, big, clean yoga room (it doesn’t stink), clean washrooms, the staff is very nice there, always willing to help and answer questions.
The instructors are amazing! I have my favorites :)
The Tri-​cities location is at the plaza so there is lots of parking available.
I strongly recommend Bikram! I always leave relaxed, stretched, happy and super hungry!
It is a great way to start or finish your day, certainly in my weekly routine!

Oh Bikram Yoga. how you make me sweat!
Friendly and Clean. And the hot yoga room actually doesn’t smell that much :) Or maybe I’m too used to it already?

I’d gone to a Bikram studio in downtown Chicago for a couple of months, but kind of fell off the practice because it just didn’t feel like I was getting out of it what I was putting in. Too many egos and weirdness for me to trust the place.
But my sister is an instructor at Tri-​city, so of course I had to try it. My results have been amazing, just within a week. The instructors here are focussed on the right postures and I can feel the difference. It hurts good — and my body is toned. Everyone knows their stuff here and are true yogis in that they practice hard and for the right reasons. Am not sure if it’s the place or the place I’m at in the practice, but wish I could find an equivalent in Chi-​town.

Being intimitated by the room temperature but really curious to try it, I became addicted to hot yoga after taking advantage of their introductory one week unlimited for $ 20.
The staff is really helpful from the moment you walk in the door, if you ring in they will let you know how best to prepare for the 90 minutes class, what you will need to bring, etc.
The instructors are all amazing. they make sure you are in proper position and will make suggestions on when to drink water, when not to, and always remind you to go into a relaxation pose if you feel dizzy. the shower/​change rooms are really clean, and even though there are no lockers and you must leave belongings outside the room it feels very secure and I have never had a problem (but that is worth noting so you don’t bring all your worldly possessions).
Their rates for packages are very reasonable and worth every dime, it really is a completely different work out from anything else. The best part is how you feel when you leave, so relaxed and refreshed… and maybe a little stinky if you don’t shower there.
