THIS GYM IS THE BEST! I brought my dad in for training with John because he has really bad back, neck and shoulder pain. John was able to break down exactly where the pain was coming from and created an amazing treatment plan for my dad. He showed my dad multiple things he can do at home to exercise every day and also recommended different products that would help him as well. He also gave us tips on how my dad can eat better to control his blood sugar. My dad honestly felt better after even just one session. I’m looking forward to bringing him in for his sessions as his strength and mobility improves with John’s help!!! I’m also looking forward to joining the gym classes myself soon! The gym is also very clean and amazing equipment! So thankful to have found these guys!! If you want to improve your strength and get in better shape, I’d highly recommend these guys at Impulse Fitness! More...

Amazing! I came to impulse fitness for their functional strength training program to find a new approach to fitness, and i was so happy with the results. Their program's focus on functional strength has given me a new view on fitness, which helped me improve in my day-to-day activities since I have enough energy to do them. The establishment's team was very supportive and inclusive, and has definitely helped me reach my goal! Definitely recommend this program for anyone looking into alternative personal training and taking their fitness journey to the next level! More...

They were close by, so I decided to give it a shot after using my new parenthood as an excuse for too long. I signed up for a couple dozen individual sessions with John, and I think it was one of the best decisions. He catered to my personal goals and helped me get back in workout shape. I also joined the group classes and I love the chill atmosphere with good motivation. Highly recommend you give it a shot! More...

I wish I could give a 100 star review. I have multiple cancers one being cancer in my spine which makes movement very difficult. I was at the end of my rope and made a random post about my struggles on Facebook. John reached out to me and asked me to come see if he could help me. I reluctantly went to his gym, and let me tell you that day changed my life. John started working with me to help get mobility. I have been working with him for 8 months and he has literally saved my life. He helps me to reactivate nerves to help with the pain. I haven’t had to use my walker in six months. I honestly believe John saved my life and I tell everyone to search him out as you won’t be disappointed. Him and his staff are amazing and they truly care More...

I have experienced boot camp, boxing, HIIT, yoga, and CrossFit, and John & Rae's group class is the most systematic yet fun group class I have been to!

I can't recommend this gym enough for people. Whether you're looking to get back into shape or are rehabbing from an injury, John and Rae are the best at what they do. Having trained personally with both of them, they helped me regain confidence to get back to working out after tearing my rotator cuff and injuring my back. They train on how to lift and exercise safely, focusing on the long term goals and health of their clients. My form and core stability are the best they've ever been. This is what separates them from other gyms, where you are treated like a cheque book. John and Rae genuinely care about their clients and their care extends past your one hour session. More...

John (the owner) is obviously knowledgeable but his ability to pinpoint the very specific issues (exercise technique, training, nutrition etc) that prevent progress and recovery is pure wisdom, which I've not witnessed among other trainers that I've met.

The results I have seen are unlike anything or anywhere I’ve experienced before. The energy and vibe in these classes are so much fun. The coaches are charismatic and full of enthusiasm which immediately sets the tone for a fun and engaging workout. But what sets these group classes apart is the knowledge behind these workouts. Unlike other gym classes where you mindlessly follow a routine, these classes incorporates exercises that are designed to improve everyday movements. I have tried other gym classes locally and I can honestly say that after a few weeks, I have noticed a significant improvement in my overall strength and mobility. It’s amazing to see how these functional movements translate into real-life activities outside the gym. Another aspect I enjoy is the community among the participants. We’re all in this together, supporting and encouraging one another. I really appreciate the fact that John & Rae program every workout they offer, they put themselves through their own workouts before they give them to us, so you know you’re getting a good workout in no matter what. John & Rae both do an exceptional job at explaining how to move as well as fixing form. That is a big one for me. They not only taught me how to move, but engage my core properly. Something I didn’t know how to do in the past and it has helped relieved my back pain! Be prepared for instant energy, a strong sense of accomplishment, and results that will make you wonder why you didn’t come here sooner. Trust me, you won’t regret it!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Rachelle at Impulse Fitness & Wellness, and I can confidently say that she knows her stuff! Not only is she highly knowledgeable and experienced in fitness and wellness, but she also possesses a natural gift for motivating and inspiring her clients.

From the very first session I had with Rachelle, I felt completely at ease and confident in her abilities. She took the time to understand my goals and needs, and she crafted a personalized training plan that has helped me achieve incredible results physically in the gym as well as in soccer. I learned how to properly use and engage my core, and managed to lose fat and tone up in the process. Her attention to detail, her positive attitude, and her unwavering commitment to helping her clients succeed is truly remarkable.

What sets Rachelle apart is her ability to make working out not just a physical activity, but also a mental and emotional experience. She doesn't just focus on helping clients get in shape, she also strives to help them develop a deeper sense of self-awareness and self-confidence. Her holistic approach to fitness and wellness is truly inspiring and has had a profound impact on my life.

Overall, I cannot recommend Rachelle highly enough. If you are looking for someone who can help you achieve your health and wellness goals, while also helping you cultivate a more positive and empowered mindset, then look no further because Rachelle will be the one for you. More...

I have been in the fitness industry as a trainer for over 10 years and let me tell you when I say John is legit. Not only has he helped me increase my mobility & flexibility while building and maintaining lean muscle mass, he was able to do all of that for me while teaching me the tools to train pain-free. I have hired multiple trainers in the past in-person and online for myself, but out of the trainers I have hired in the past, John is no doubt the best of all of them. I actually was able to learn something new in each session even though I have been in the industry myself training clients for over 10 years. John can help you achieve the results you want aesthetically and skillfully which I am grateful for, but overall, I am most grateful and impressed with his ability to educate me on how to deal with my pain. I have also seen a handful of chiros and physios to help deal with my pain but I would highly recommend John instead. I recommend John SO MUCH that I personally have sent him my own pain clients to train with him as well because his techniques to deal with pain is like no other!

I started working with John at Impulse fitness after suffering from a broken neck that left me bed ridden. The injury caused me a great deal of pain throughout my body. Worst of all, it caused me to suffer from peripheral neuropathy that took away most of the feeling in my legs and feet. At one point I had very little strength and balance in my entire body to a point where I could not stand and put my shirt over my head without falling. At 67 years of age, my condition was so bad that specialists and the physiotherapist told me that there was nothing they could do for me. John and his trainer at Impulse fitness were able to figure out a solution that medical specialists could not. I am now at a point where I’ve regained much of the feelings in my lower body which allows me to walk and do almost everything like I had prior to my accident. The real bonus was fixing both my shoulders that had multiple tears, in which I was told that I needed shoulder surgery for both of my shoulders. My shoulders are no longer in pain and have full range of motion. I would highly recommend the fantastic work that John and his team provides at Impulse fitness, they have given me my life back and I cannot thank them enough. More...
