I've been going to Impulse Fitness for about 1.5 years now, and I found more then a gym. I found a community, a lifestyle, a place to unwind, recharge and get fit. I attend mostly the evening classes, and occasionally the morning sessions. Great coaches - Rae and John are great. Everyone's looking out for one another here. It’s a place where you can truly thrive, whether you’re just starting out or are seasoned. More...

I started going to this gym to help gain strength and lose some weight. John provided me with some meal planning ideas and I gained more than just strength. I got to do a variety of exercise's, every day of the week was different and every month the trainers changed up the routines. Never boring. John and Rae definitely understand each individual works at their level for that day. Rae and John are great and all the clients are incredibly supportive and kind. Never felt out of place. More...

I was looking for a gym where it wasn't just a go in and workout and leave. This is the best gym I've been to. It's more then a gym its a community. Everyone who attends the classes are always willing to help and are very friendly. Not only that but both Rae, and John have alot of knowledge that they are always willing to share not only talking to them, but also the workshops that are organized are very informative and helpful in progressing to the individuals fitness goals and equipping you with the information so you can apply them to the workouts. As well as it's a 24 hours so there is no excuse not to go. It's better then any club16 or anytime fitness. Sign up you won't regret it. More...

Where do I begin with Impulse Fitness and the incredible people who run it and work there., John and Rae. These people are so much more than coaches, they are so kind and understanding, caring and genuine. I have so many issues that stem from being overweight and they took their time to try and correct it all, even my mental health by teaching breathing exercises, to help calm the stress. I cannot recommend this place enough. Unfortunately we have to move too far away to be able to come to this gym anymore, so can no longer go. Please check them out, you will not be disappointed! I will truly miss them! More...

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...

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.

The group class at Impulse is unlike any other group class I have experienced. 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! They write their programs themselves and they customize their group programs to each individual that is in the class. I like how they structure their group class by offering specific body part training & styles of training each day. The community is also super supportive and fun to be around.

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 offers a unique combination of motivation and expertise to help you reach your fitness goals. He also knows how to deal with injuries in which he showed me how to deal with my shoulder and hamstring injury. Since training with John, I have been able to achieve a pull-up, middle splits, and not to mention, size on my rear plus all-around muscle tone. John has an amazing ability to customize workouts that are challenging yet achievable. You feel energized and motivated after every session, and the results are undeniable. I highly recommend John as a personal trainer! I also want to take this time to mention the culture of the gym as I believe being surrounded by support, encouragement, and positivity will help you stick to your goals even more. Everyone is there to better themselves and each other, and there is a strong sense of camaraderie among the members. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced athlete, you are welcomed and accepted just the same! I am happy that I found a gym community and culture that has not only improved my physical health but also my mental health and overall well-being. Overall, I highly recommend Impulse Fitness & Wellness to anyone looking to improve their health and fitness level while also connecting with like-minded individuals who share their passion for wellness.

I found this gym through Facebook. 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. He's direct, civil and will show you exactly what you need. It's a combination of knowledge, intuition and insight, patience, communication and systematic implementation within a very friendly welcoming environment. I've not experienced this much progress in all my past 24 years of using gyms all over the world. More...

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! Thank you John & Rae for everything! More...

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.

I have been training with Rachelle for 6 months. From day one, I knew that I had made the right choice in selecting her as my personal trainer.
Her level of expertise and attention to detail is second to none. She takes the time to understand my fitness goals and creates personalized workout plans that are challenging yet achievable.
Not only is Rachelle knowledgeable in fat loss, as she has helped me achieve 29 lbs fat loss within 6 months, but she is also knowledgeable in movement therapy as she has helped me with my injuries as well. Rachelle pushes me out of my comfort zone and encourages me to exceed my limits. The level of accountability she provides has been crucial in keeping me on track and committed to my fitness journey.
What sets Rachelle apart from other trainers that I have worked with in the past is her level of communication. She is always available to answer my questions, provide guidance and support, and provide feedback on my progress.
Overall, I couldn't be happier with my experience working with Rachelle. She has helped me achieve my fitness goals, and I would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a trainer who is committed to their success.

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...

How do you help your clients achieve their fitness goals?
At Groundwork, we don’t just set goals—we build the capacity to meet them.
Here’s how we do it differently:
1. We Start at the Root
Most programs start with a plan.
We start with you.
Your body. Your breath. Your nervous system.
Because if the foundation is shaky, the progress won’t stick.
2. We Rebuild Safety & Strength
We teach your body how to feel safe first—so you can move better, recover faster, and grow stronger without burning out or breaking down.
Safety isn’t a soft skill—it’s the secret weapon to real strength.
3. We Integrate Movement, Nourishment, and Lifestyle
No more siloed goals.
Your sleep, stress, food, movement, and mindset are all connected—and we coach through integration, not isolation.
4. We Focus on Sustainability
Quick fixes don’t work.
We help you create habits, rhythms, and rituals that last years, not just weeks.
It’s not about intensity—it’s about consistency.
5. We Coach Through Empowerment, Not Obligation
You’re not here to be “fixed.”
You’re here to remember your strength.
Our coaching gives you tools, insight, and guidance—but you’re always in the driver’s seat.
6. We Celebrate Progress That Goes Beyond the Scale
Wins here look like:
Pain-free mornings
Energy that lasts all day
Confidence in movement
Emotional resilience
Habits that feel like home
In short?
Groundwork helps you move from frustration to flow.
From survival mode to strength mode.
From goals that stress you out—to goals that grow you.
What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?
It’s not about chasing the “dream body.”
It’s about building a body you trust.
One that feels strong, free, pain-free, and alive.
Here’s the real secret:
1. Reconnect.
Reclaim your body as a home, not a project.
Breathe deeper. Move intentionally.
Learn your patterns—don’t punish them.
2. Regulate.
Your nervous system is the gatekeeper.
No amount of workouts will work if your body feels unsafe.
Ground first. Heal from the root.
3. Rewire.
Train smarter, not harder.
Build strength with your body, not against it.
Progressive loading, nervous system support, mobility before intensity.
4. Rebuild.
This is the body you’re becoming—
not through force, but through foundation.
You don’t need a new body.
You need a new relationship with the one you have.
5. Rise.
The “dream” isn’t in the mirror.
It’s in how you move.
How you show up.
How you feel when no one’s watching.
That’s the Groundwork.
From the ground up.
Rooted. Resilient. Ready to rise.
What do you love most about your job?
It’s not the before-and-after photos.
It’s the moment someone feels their power again—for the first time in a long time.
When a client goes from "I can’t" to "I just did."
When pain becomes possibility.
When movement becomes medicine.
When the story shifts from shame to self-trust.
I love being the witness, the guide, the mirror.
Helping people remember that healing isn’t linear—but it’s always worth it.
And watching them rise from the root—with strength they didn’t know they had.
That’s what I live for.
That’s Groundwork.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Honestly?
It wasn’t just one thing—it was everything I broke through.
Groundwork was born in the void—
After injury, burnout, misalignment, and moments where I lost myself trying to do things “the right way.”
It came from years of training, teaching, coaching... and still feeling like something was missing.
I was doing everything I was taught to do—
But my body was screaming for something deeper.
Groundwork is what I needed—
A system that didn’t just train the body, but honored the whole human.
That started with the nervous system.
That made space for healing, not just hustling.
That gave permission to pause, to feel, and to rebuild—without shame.
It’s the integration of my lived experience, my studies, and my soul’s work.
Movement, nourishment, lifestyle, and nervous system support—woven together.
Because transformation isn’t about pushing harder.
It’s about laying the groundwork—and rising from there.
Why should our clients choose you?
If you’re looking for more than just a workout plan—
If you’re craving real, lasting transformation—
Groundwork is for you.
Here’s what makes Groundwork different (and why our clients stay for the long haul):
1. We Work With Your Body, Not Against It
No more pushing through pain, ignoring burnout, or chasing quick fixes.
We rebuild strength from the root—with mobility, nervous system support, and sustainable progress.
2. You Get a Whole-Person Approach
We don’t just train your muscles.
We support your movement, nourishment, lifestyle, and mindset—because they’re all connected.
3. Every Program is Personalized and Trauma-Aware
Whether you're recovering from injury, managing chronic stress, or starting fresh—Groundwork meets you where you are.
With coaching that’s compassionate, informed, and strategic.
4. This Isn’t About Perfection—It’s About Progress That Feels Like You
You’ll walk away feeling stronger, clearer, and more connected to your body—not just for a season, but for life.
5. Rooted Results, Not Just Resolutions
Pain-free movement.
Stronger habits.
More energy.
Confidence in your body.
That’s the Groundwork.
Ready to stop starting over?
