Performance Institute

Performance Institute is the best place in Burnaby -- maybe the Lower Mainland -- to take good care of your body.

The staff team are all exceptional trainers who:

- meet you where you are,
- help you set fitness and nutrition goals,
- address your injuries, anxiety & fears,
- provide safe, physical challenges so you can move, lift, jump, and stretch

After a few years of training consistently at PI, I've gained physical strength and strategies for healthy eating and cooking.

These gains might have a nice physical manifestation, but much more, these gains create a quality of life for the long term.

These gains aren't just for you, they are gains for your family, your relationships, and for keeping you in good health.

Best place to work out. After going here for only two months I can finally say I love going to the gym. Thank you to all the trainers and admin staff for helping me achieve my goals.

Working out at PI has been one of the best decisions that I've made. I've been to many gyms but I always felt awkward and uncomfortable. At the PI there is no "attitude", just excellent trainers and staff that really care about fitness goals and body health. There is every shape, size and age of people working out and everyone is very supportive of each other. They helped be overcome years of back issues and really take the time to work with you to insure that you are exercising correctly. I've been there for six years now and I just can't imagine not having the PI in my routine. Even my wife is working out there (and loving it)! If you aren't sure whether this is the place for you, just try it for one month. You'll thank me for it.

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!

Steve and his team at the performance institute are amazing. Coming into training here, I knew I was going to be getting great personal training. What I didn't expect was the support and overall superb atmosphere they provide.
They've made going to the gym something to look forward too, which is something I've struggled with my whole life.
Keep up the fantastic work guys!
