Testimonials

“The best Jiu Jitsu – Boxing – Muay Thai – Conditioning gym in the whole area. Amazing owners and staff, super clean and bright facility with awesome amenities (showers, towels etc), and top-tier instruction. Hero is a gift to the city of North Vancouver and I’ll always go back there!”

Francesca DeNoble

“Absolutely love Hero Academy! I’ve been to a few martial art gyms in the past, and this is by far my favorite.

A great range of classes and supportive instructors. I appreciate that they offer strength training along with martial arts classes. I do not find it intimidating to join classes alone because everyone is friendly and inclusive. The instructors are friendly and do a great job encouraging proper technique.

The gym is beautifully designed and includes so many thoughtful touches for members. I would highly recommend trying a free trial and experiencing everything Hero Academy has to offer.”

Janelle

“Came to visit Hero Academy for a women’s jiu jitsu camp and it was amazing. Such a beautiful, clean and well thought out facility. A professional and fun atmosphere with an amazing group of staff!!!”

Emma Reusing

“As someone that has trained at multiple gyms within the Vancouver area, I can say this is by far the cleanest and best designed/organized gym I have ever trained in. The coaches and owners, Meego and Jaime, are commensurate professionals with an endless wealth of knowledge in martial arts and fitness, and brilliantly translate that knowledge into top-tier instruction. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone looking to begin or continue their martial arts/fitness journey, and personally plan on cross-training here again in the future.”

Chris R

“My 6yo son has recently attended one of their summer camps. He thoroughly enjoyed his experience, and every day wants to practice his Jiu Jitsu moves on us. Initially, we had a particularly delicate situation with one other participant (a complete coincidence), and Jamie, Meego, coaches and instructors have handled this with the highest level of professionalism. Out of many different camps, this week ended up being the highlight of my son’s summer. We will definitely come back for regular classes.”

Ren Atawi

“My son attended a summer camp with Hero! He LOVED it!! they kept their days diversified with kick boxing, Jiu Jitsu and fun lunch time activities (think water park on hot summer days, hiking in Lynn Valley and walks to neighboring parks). They went above and beyond to make their days entertaining! I’m still jealous of the cool shirt he got! Fingers crossed there will be Spring camp and Summer camp in 2023!!

We also did drop-in classes on the weekends and it’s best location for mom or dad to get a coffee while the kids are burning off some energy!!

Highly recommend!!”

“I have been training with Meego since 2016 and couldn’t be happier that I joined Hero Athletics! He is dedicated, knowledgeable and encouraging. The classes never get stale as he introduces new workouts every day. All of these things have kept me consistent and really made me love the gym. Highly recommend!!”

Brittany Tutinka

“My 6 yr-old daughter took MMA, Jiu Jitsu and Strike clases for almost 6 months at Hero. She was able to overcome severe bullying at her school thanks to the purpose that is immersed not only in Meego and Jaime, but also in all the coaches that are part of this great team. She earned confidence during this process and now she has no mental barriers or disadvantages. We will deeply miss Hero and its people and we can’t wait to come back and get to know all the great life stories they are influencing with their discipline and mindset. I highly recommend this academy for all youth as they will only have very positive life-lasting experiences that will help them become great adults, make friends and have fun in the meanwhile. In addition, prices and plans are very reasonable for their offering. Very grateful with Hero!”

Pilar Lacima

“My daughter started taking Jujitsu classes here and I love to see her confidence has gone up 10 folds. I love the way kids are treated and are taught accountability besides the techniques they are learning. Keep doing the great job Hero Academy.”

Foroohar Rafiei

“Meego runs fantastic classes that really make you work! He knows how to create a welcoming and supportive environment for all people of all abilities and make us all sweat! He is great at teaching movement technique and fighting technique, and if you are lucky, you can get him to bust a move.”

Alex

“I love starting my day with Hero Academy. Meego is a super knowledgeable and attentive trainer. He mixes things up, pushes you to exceed your expectations of yourself and gives you the guidance, support and necessary humour you need to get through a challenging workout session. The classes are tough but so much fun!”
