Where combat sports excellence meets unrelenting determination

Our Mission

At Crimson Flare Vion Fitness, we are committed to igniting the inner power of every individual who walks through our doors.

We believe in pushing boundaries, breaking limits, and creating champions in sport and in life.

Combat Sports Training

The Beginning

Founded in 2015 by former Canadian MMA Champion Marcus "The Crimson Warrior" Vion, Crimson Flare Vion Fitness was born from a vision to create Vancouver's most elite combat sports and functional fitness training center.

After a decorated career in mixed martial arts, including two consecutive TKO Championship titles and multiple international victories, Marcus realized his true calling was not just competing, but empowering others to discover their own fighting spirit.

What started as a small training space on Granville Street has evolved into a 12,000 square foot facility that stands as a beacon of excellence in high-intensity training, attracting athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and those seeking transformation from across British Columbia and beyond.
