Is the Cellar physically accessible?
There are multiple doors to get into the space, as well as a total of 14 stairs. If you need help entering/exiting the space, please let us know.
Are there bathrooms?
There are two gender neutral bathrooms located near the entrance.
What if I’m running late for a class, can I still show up?
It’s generally preferred to show up on time, ready to go. The instructor would need to pause the class and let you in, which would throw them off, plus the people already in class. Please try and show up 5 minutes before class starts.
How much should I be donating per use/class?
Check out our *pitch on rent* page for more info.
Why can’t I find the address anywhere?
We don’t have the address posted in order to maintain a level of comfort for ourselves as volunteers, and for people using the space. If you would like to attend an event or use the gym space and don’t have a friend to buddy with who has been here before, send us an email to find out more info.
Is there a membership or drop in fee?
Short answer, no.
Long answer, yes. Please read our “pitch on rent” page to get an in depth explanation. We rely on donations and pay per use of the space, from people who can afford to, with a strong emphasis on mutual aid and community building. We are 100% volunteer run, and all funds collected go straight to rent or things for the space.
What should I wear to the open gyms and classes?
Whatever you feel comfortable in getting sweaty. Preferably nothing that restricts your movement.
Clean socks are a bonus.
(No shoes on the mats)
Is there anything I should bring for classes?
If you’re attending a striking class and borrowing gloves, you need hand wraps. We have some for sale for $10 if you don’t already own a pair.
A bottle to fill with water.
Again, clean socks are a bonus.
I’d like to use the space for a private event or workshop, is that a thing I can do?
100%. Feel free to fill out this proposal form and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.
Why do y’all not answer my messages right away?
We’re a 100% volunteer run space with a thousand other things going on in our lives, and we’re not accessible 24 hours a day.
If there’s a question you don’t see an answer to, feel free to send us an email at thecellarvancouver@protonmail.com
We’re slowly getting all of this set up and ready to go. Thanks for your patience.
