You Shouldn't
Have to Choose
Between Training
and Recovering.

Most gyms can't treat your injury.
Most clinics won't train you.
Driftwood does both — under one roof.

The Problem

The Old Way
Costs You Months.

You get hurt. You rest. You wait two weeks for a physio appointment. They clear you. You start training. Something flares up again. Back to square one — and your fitness has disappeared.

There's a better model. Your physiotherapist and your coach work from the same plan — at the same facility. That's Driftwood. Built in Burnaby since 2014.

The Driftwood Difference

Driftwood Is
Built Differently.

We're not a gym that happens to have a physio table in the back room. We're a fully integrated training and rehabilitation facility. Your physiotherapist and your coach share notes, share a floor, and build your plan together.

That means you don't have to stop training to recover. You recover while you train — with a program built around your body's actual capacity, not a generic template.

"The gap between rehab and return to performance costs months.
Driftwood closes it."

Whether you're:

A CrossFit athlete with a shoulder issue A runner with chronic knee pain Returning from surgery A total beginner who wants to start right An ICBC claimant

You don't have to choose between getting better and staying fit. You do both — here.

The Process

Three Steps from
Pain to Performance

No guesswork. No wasted months. A clear path from where you are to where you want to be.

01

Assess

Start with a free intro assessment. A member of our team evaluates your movement, injury history, and training goals. No pressure, no sales pitch — just a clear picture of where you are.

02

Program

Your physio and coach build your plan together. Treatment and training are coordinated from day one. You know exactly what you're doing, why you're doing it, and what's off-limits while you heal.

03

Train & Recover

You train. You recover. At the same facility, with professionals who talk to each other. You don't lose months of fitness waiting to be cleared. You close the gap between rehab and performance.

"I had a shoulder injury that was stopping me from training. Within weeks of starting at Driftwood, I was back on the floor — and stronger than before. The coaches and physios actually work together. It's unlike anything I've experienced."

"The coaches are knowledgeable, supportive, and truly invested in helping you reach your goals. I came in nervous — I'd never done CrossFit in my life. I left feeling like I'd found my gym. Can't recommend it enough."

"I tried a free class and had a great experience! I was worried I wouldn't be able to keep up, but every movement was scaled to where I was at. By the end I felt amazing and proud of myself. I'll definitely be coming back."

The Team

Your Physio and Your
Coach Know Each Other.

Common Questions

Things People
Ask Us First

If you have a question not covered here, reach out on our site — we're quick to respond.

Yes — and you're exactly who we want walking through the door. Every class is coached, every movement is scaled to where you are today, and nobody expects you to show up fit. We meet you where you are. Your first class is free.

That's precisely what Driftwood is built for. Your physiotherapist and coach will design a program around your injury — not in spite of it. In most cases you can stay active during recovery, and our team ensures you're never doing anything that sets you back.

No referral needed. Book directly online or through the form above. If you're an ICBC or WorkSafe BC claimant, we direct bill — just mention it when you book and we'll handle the paperwork.

A 30–45 minute session with a member of our team. We go through your movement quality, injury and training history, and goals. At the end, you get a clear, honest recommendation on what the right next step is for you — with zero pressure to commit to anything.

Initial physiotherapy assessments are $150 + tax. Follow-up sessions are $110 + tax. ICBC and WorkSafe BC patients pay nothing out of pocket — we bill directly. Most extended health plans (Manulife, Sun Life, Great-West Life, Pacific Blue Cross, GreenShield, and more) also accept direct billing from us.

Absolutely. Most of our members are healthy, active people who want high-quality coaching in a community that takes training seriously. The clinic is there if you ever need it — but you don't have to use it. Start with a free trial class and see how you feel.

No contracts. Monthly unlimited membership is $205/month. 10-class packs are $205. Drop-in is $25. You can cancel anytime. New to CrossFit? We recommend starting with three one-on-one Fundamentals sessions before jumping into group classes — it makes the transition much smoother.
