Which gym in Burnaby helps you move better, not just look better?

Some people want six-packs.
Others just want to stand up without their knees cracking.

If you’re in the second group — the ones who care about how they move, not just how they look — you’re going to love Kraken Fitness.

This isn’t a gym full of machines that lock you into rigid movements.
This is a place where you train the way your body was built to move — strong, stable, and pain-free.

And yes — you’ll train barefoot.


Why Barefoot Training?

Most modern shoes do a great job of cushioning…
and a terrible job of letting your body actually function.

When your feet can’t feel the ground, your balance suffers.
Your knees overcompensate.
Your hips get tight.
Your posture goes to hell.

Barefoot training restores that natural feedback.
You reconnect with the ground.
Your ankles, knees, and hips start syncing again.
And suddenly… you move better — everywhere.


Strength Starts from the Ground Up

At Kraken, movement is the foundation.
You won’t just lift weights — you’ll learn how to:

  • Stabilize under load
  • Engage muscles you’ve forgotten about
  • Balance better during everyday tasks
  • And correct movement patterns that may have led to pain or stiffness in the first place

This isn’t about working out harder.
It’s about training smarter — and unlocking strength that lasts for life.

“When I started at Kraken a year and a half ago, I had knee pain, poor posture, and felt stiff and unbalanced. Since training here, my strength has gone up, my mobility has improved, and I feel better than I have in years. I didn’t even know my body could move this well.”Kadence C.


This Is for You If…

  • You’ve had back, hip, or knee pain
  • Your joints feel “rusty” in the morning
  • You’re getting stronger but still move like a robot
  • You want to feel confident in your body — not just look good in a shirt

At Kraken, we train for function and form.
Yes, you’ll lose fat and build strength.
But you’ll also move like you’re 10 years younger — and that’s what really changes your life.


What to Expect in a Session

Every session is built around controlled, grounded movement.
You’ll train barefoot on turf, focus on quality over quantity, and use a mix of tools designed to improve real-world strength and mobility.

Expect:

  • Foot-to-core connection work
  • Posterior chain strengthening
  • Controlled tempo lifts
  • End-range mobility training
  • Posture improvement
  • Less pain, better movement

And all of it personalized to your body, your goals, and your injuries (if any).


The First Step: 45-Minute Blueprint Meeting

You’ll start with a full consultation — no workout, just a conversation.
We’ll ask how you move, where you hurt, what your day-to-day feels like.
Then we build your program around that — with intention, not intensity.

No pain, no ego, no bootcamp yelling.
Just thoughtful, intelligent coaching.


Final Thought

You weren’t made to feel stiff, sore, or limited.
You were made to move freely — and with power.

At Kraken Fitness, we help you restore that freedom — from the ground up.
One barefoot rep at a time.
