Performance Institute

I started going to PI in 1999 when I was an official in hockey. They not help me accomplish my goal of working professional hockey, but also inspired me to pursue a career in the health and wellness. Steve and Heather gave me an opportunity to start my career and helped me in so many aspect of my life. I owe where I am today professionally and personally to Steve and Heather along with all other staff members and most importantly the clients I was able to work with during my time there. If you are looking for a place that feels like home and can inspire you to accomplish what ever your goals are, well you need to see Steve and Heather, along the rest of the staff at PI. To everyone at PI, thank you from the bottom of my heart as I am forever grateful to you.

I have known and worked with the PI Team for more than 15 years. As a registered physiotherapist and instructor, I wholeheartedly trust this team. They are extremely knowledgeable, experienced and skilled. They work hard to get to know you personally and create a wonderful sense of gym community. They are masterful at supporting each client's fitness goals and truly make exercising fun. It is wonderful to witness their focus on high quality fitness. Keep up the amazing work!

My husband and I lived moderately active lifestyles and were never gym people. Then we had 2 kids in the last 4 years and were too tired to do much else outside of raising our kids who keep us fairly busy. Last summer I ran after my kids and dislocated my knee for the 7th time - it sucked. My husband and I both suffered previous injuries that have always plagued us and I inconsistently did physio for the last 2 decades - with zero discipline to do at home exercise. So, since we were both pushing 40, we felt it was time to invest in our health with the help of professionals. looked for the closest gym to us that did training and felt this fit our needs and budget the best. The trainers at PI are awesome! Super attentive and educated. The first month was very basic strength training based on our physical assessment. Whenever we would experience any pain in our problem areas, they would quickly identify what needed to be stretched in order to relieve it. Slowly it got easier, but more challenging and it gave us incredible motivation to sign up for another 3 months. We're currently in month 4 and I've lost almost 10 lbs, but haven't changed my eating habits much. I still love to eat and snack - I hate salad sorry. Either way, I feel stronger, faster, and have way more energy to keep up with my kids for longer! This gym has literally changed our lives for the better and my knee is stronger than its ever been. Thanks PI team!

We feel lucky to have found PI Performance Institute during COVID and to train on line with Heather. She appreciates our individual athletic ability(s) and is encouraging and professional at all times. ….Lots of positive reinforcement ! We highly recommend PI on line training ….!

Performance Institute is a fantastic, fun, family orientated gym. The staff and trainers are excellent and take care of you every session, in person or via Zoom. I have never used a gym with a personal trainer and always trained as an individual, but the personal touch is next level. Looking for the correct form, looking for ways to remedy the nagging injuries , a plan to rebuild with conditioning. 100% satisfied. It has only been a few months and I notice the difference already. If you are on the fence about joining, don't be. You will not regret joining Performance Institute and the family.

I started my fitness journey in January of 2019 at Performance Institute. I had to just moved to BC from Ontario, and needed to get my personal health and fitness back on track. My first visit to PI consisted of a one-on-one assessment with Nathan. He went through my current stats, basic athletic abilities, as well as discussed with me what my personal goals were. I then began a program that was customized for me and what I was trying to achieve. Still to this day, I attend PI twice a week, each session tailored to suit exactly what I need. It was a hard start for me to get back into the flow of exercise, but every time I walk through the doors, I am met with the encouraging faces of all the PI staff. Over the past few months, I have been able to lose weight, become stronger, make better choices when it comes to my eating habits, and overall feel better about myself and my lifestyle. I want to say thank you to Steve and Heather for this awesome environment you have created, and to Raquel, Anna, Matt, Frankie, and of course Nathan for always greeting me with a smile, encouraging me to keep pushing, and for showing me that anything is possible. You guys rock and make working out so much fun! Thanks PI!

I have had memberships at many gyms over the years. I have worked with several personal trainers. I also have a few injuries I am working through. I have NEVER found a gym with more knowledgeable trainers, in-depth assessments, and plans, training and therapy that work!! The other part that deserves credit is their community! It's awesome, fun and welcoming to everyone! I would suggest everyone who needs active physio, wants to get in shape or lose weight or just wants to improve their current fitness level to come in and talk to ANY of their team. This is the best, most professional crew I have ever come across! And there are many options for training from virtual to group to weight loss challenges to one-on-one training! They're fantastic! I'm so glad I stumbled across a Groupon that led me through their doors.

I’ve been going to PI for almost 10 years and absolutely love it there. I have been a member of many other gyms but the trainers are the best here!!! They really understand that each client is different and tailor programs to meet each clients needs. I’ve had to deal with injuries and they are always able to work around them and help me recover quickly and safely. The nutrition program offered by Heather is amazing and she really works closely with her clients to understand their needs. If you are looking for a place to train I highly recommend PI.

I've first heard of PI through a friend and joined last year December for their D2S program. I had amazing results thanks to my awesome trainers: Matt, Nathan, and Francois. PI is definitely a great place to kickstart yourself back into fitness. Especially now with their new COVID measures, I feel safe and comfortable here. All trainers are very knowledgeable and friendly. They will always push you to do your best!

A HUGE thank You to Steve and ALL the trainers at Performance Institute. After a 2 year long Back injury and working with many different Physios, Chiropractors, and massage therapists which did not seem to help my injury progress, I have finally been able to heal all thanks to Performance Institute. Their tips, training, support and guidance has made a world of difference. These trainers are committed to their clients progress and work with you every step of the way.I am finally able to exercise and live pain free and what I can do in comparison to my first session is amazing! I would highly recommend for anyone trying to recover from an injury or anyone looking to get in shape and push through limitations that your body may challenge you with.
