Impulse Fitness and Wellness - Gym in Port Coquitlam - Personal Trainers

Expérience fantastique: John has supported me with nutrition for the entire year and helped me lose 20 pounds that I’ve been able to keep off. What really set him apart was his insight into regulating my nervous system. I didn’t realize how much I was living in survival mode until I started working with him & that shift is what made my results sustainable! Alison’s group classes are also a blessing. She brings so much heart and energy into every session. You can tell she truly loves her work, and I’m so thankful she’s part of Impulse.

Expérience fantastique: 10/10 – Absolutely Outstanding Gym! Impulse Fitness has been a total game-changer for me. John and Allie are incredible — knowledgeable, welcoming, and genuinely invested in helping everyone hit their goals. The classes are always fun, challenging, and well-structured, and you can tell the trainers put real thought into every session. What truly sets this gym apart is the community. The people who attend are friendly, supportive, and create such a positive atmosphere. It took me a long time to find a gym that felt like the right fit, and I’m so grateful I finally found it here. Impulse Fitness is an amazing place to train, stay motivated, and feel part of something great. Highly recommend!

Expérience fantastique: YOU NEED TO TRY THIS GYM TO TRULY FEEL THE TRANSFORMATION!! What I love most is the focus on the mind-body connection—it’s a key part of John’s philosophy. I'm in my 40s and have a few injuries, and I had taken a break from the gym before joining “Impulse Fitness and Wellness”. From day one, John has been incredibly knowledgeable and consistently supportive. He carefully adapts the exercises to fit my limitations, always knowing when to push and when to encourage. John designs absolutely awesome programs that keep things exciting and effective, which is a big part of what makes this gym special. Each class is broken into three stations. There’s something about the way John structures the sessions—once I finish the first station, I somehow find myself powering through to the last. It’s a flow I’ve never experienced in any other fitness class before. John changes the workouts regularly, keeping us challenged and engaged, so it never gets boring or repetitive. It's clear he genuinely wants each of us to succeed. The environment at this gym is incredibly encouraging and fun. From day one, I felt welcomed and supported—not just by John, but by my fellow gym members too. My gym buddies are amazing; they hold me accountable and make the whole experience even more enjoyable. What really impresses me is how attentive he is—no matter where I am in the gym, he notices if I need help and comes over to correct my form without hesitation. That kind of attention to detail makes all the difference. This gym has completely changed how I feel about fitness. I’m stronger, more motivated. No matter how I feel walking in, I always leave with a huge smile and actually look forward to working out. THIS GYM IS A GAME CHANGER – TRY IT FOR YOURSELF AND WATCH THE RESULTS SPEAK!

Expérience fantastique: When I was first looking around for gyms, I was overwhelmed by choices. There’s so many in the area and I didn’t know what to look for. I was only 35 but I had been suffering from injuries for years from years in the Army and as a government contract worker. I couldn’t even do a basic squat without pain and if I attempted a workout that involved anything lower body, I would be stuck with pain for the whole week, if not more. I could lift weights and run, but I was embarrassed of how limited my mobility had become. I thought surgery was my only option and dreaded what the process and recovery might look like. Instead I wanted to try one more gym. I chose Impulse Fitness for two reasons - 1) I saw how positive the reviews were and the success of other clients and 2) I saw the dogs in the gym picture and liked the vibe. When I first went in, I had a consultation with John and outlined my concerns and my embarrassment at what I had become. John was non-judgemental and listened to everything I had to say. He let me know I wasn’t alone and we drew up a plan for some private lessons and I hit the gym that week. The first few lessons were so basic and yet I felt good after every session. I knew John wasn’t someone who was selling empty promises - He was a pro who could help me. 6 month later, I can’t believe the progress I’ve been able to make. John is probably the most knowledgeable guy I’ve met - he has an answer for every problem. I love the unique blend of mind-body connection that he teaches, and I’m proof that his system works. My mobility has increased far beyond what I was able to do before and it’s better than it’s ever been. I can now squat with ease and even do it with weight. Im doing exercises I thought I would never be able to do again. John and Impulse Fitness have been instrumental in my recovery and it’s given me a huge part of my life and my identity back. If you’re struggling, and you’re looking for a non-judgemental place with knowledgeable instructors who are willing to listen to you, work with you, and build you back up - Impulse Fitness is the place to go. I promise you it’s worth it. Life changing. Thanks John!

Expérience fantastique: I have been going to Impulse Fitness since the beginning of December 2024 for strength training and was very attracted to the mobility components that they offer. The knowledgeable staff are very informed and helpful. I have already seen a huge difference in not only my physical appearance but my strength, confidence and overall well being. I can not give John, Rae and their team enough thanks.

Expérience fantastique: 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.

Expérience fantastique: 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.

Expérience fantastique: 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.

Expérience fantastique: Coming to these gym classes is the best investment in myself!!! I was super nervous at first but John makes it so fun and gets you working out at a pace that suits you. Everyone in the class is very friendly and cheers each other on! I’m already noticing a difference in my body, energy and mood. I highly recommend impulse fitness!! Looking forward to what my body will be like in the months to come!

Expérience fantastique: 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!

Expérience fantastique: 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!

Expérience fantastique: 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!

Expérience fantastique: beautiful gym with a sense of comunity. I do not go here regularly but I would if I lived closer

Expérience fantastique: 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!

Expérience fantastique: I had 2 rotator cuff surgeries about 40 years ago that weren't successful. My movements were severely restricted and painful.I could no longer play golf or weight train.A chance meeting with John and he said he could improve my mobility with deep tissue massage.Fast forward and my mobility has improved immensely.No replacement surgery necessary. I have also dropped about 13lbs.. Thanks John.

Expérience fantastique: I came across Impulse when I was looking for a gym to help my dad with getting active again and reducing some pain. John and his extensive knowledge were a perfect fit! I can not thank John enough for getting my dad moving again and not only that, but also highlighting and helping me with some of my own mobility issues. Highly recommend this gym and John!

Expérience fantastique: Thank you John and Rae for helping my husband and I achieve better health. They taught my husband and I valuable exercises that we can also practice at home to help with our overall health. If you want results, look no further.

Expérience fantastique: Cleanest gym i have been to (i have been to many), people and coaches are amazing and you feel like part of the family when you get there!! The red light therapy in the gym and upstairs area are so good!!! I am enjoying the gym time so much and i feel like i am training hard and recovering there at the same time

Expérience fantastique: John has been a blessing to our family. His program and gym have been so beneficial to Keith. John is very service minded and strives to make your time as beneficial as possible. He is so knowledgeable and his team is amazing as well.

Expérience fantastique: 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

Expérience fantastique: 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.

Expérience fantastique: I have to give a shout out to my amazing trainers John & Rae! Working with them has been incredible. I came in with the goal of losing weight and toning up. But, let me tell you, John & Rae have delivered on every front. Not only have I seen remarkable results in terms of shedding fat, but I can confidently say that I am in the best shape of my life entering into my 50s. Their personalized workout programs have pushed me beyond my limits and helped me achieve goals that I never thought were possible. But what truly sets John & Rae apart is their expert knowledge in injury rehab. I had been struggling with a nagging knee pain for years as well as my rotator cuff injury and low back pain I sustained from my car accident, and they helped with my healing process. It's incredible to have finally found someone who understands the intricacies of different injuries and how to incorporate exercises that promote recovery. I have medical coverage that covers massage, Physio, and chiro, and that didn't help me as much as John & Rae. They are definitely worth the investment!

Expérience fantastique: 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!

Expérience fantastique: Impulse Fitness has been a game-changer for my fitness journey. From the moment I walked through their doors, I knew I was in for something special. The personal trainers here are exceptionally skilled and genuinely care about their clients' success. What sets Impulse Fitness apart is the personalized attention and tailored programs. My trainer designed a plan that perfectly aligned with my goals and kept me motivated throughout my fitness journey. The support and encouragement I received were unmatched. If you're looking for a personal training gym that truly cares about your success, I can't recommend Impulse Fitness enough

Expérience fantastique: 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.

Expérience fantastique: I have been working with John (and Rae) for just over a year. I came in feeling rather defeated with ongoing pain and injuries and felt like I kept having to give up activities that I love because my body just couldnt keep up anymore (44F for reference). I feel so much stronger now and confident in what my body can still do. Beyond that, I am doing exercises I didn't think my body would ever let me do! John has built a welcoming and encouraging community at his gym. No matter what your goals are, John and Rae have the knowledge and expertise to get you their. Moreso, they genuinely care about their clients and celebrate every success with them. Thank you John and Rae!

Expérience fantastique: 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.

Expérience fantastique: I'm extremely pleased with my fitness journey at Impulse and it's because of the awesome trainers, people and wonderful gym vibe. John and Rae have immensely helped me to improve my form in every session. Every workout is well tailored to achieve maximum gain with great attention to forms and foundation. Great place and must try if you are looking to begin your wellness journey!!!

Expérience fantastique: I highly recommend Impulse Fitness, the community the gym has built is incredible filled with respect, support and purely wanting only the best for all there clients. John the owner and Rae are by far some of the kindest people I've had the pleasure of knowing who will do anything for there clients. Your walking to the right gym by joining Impulse fitness.

Expérience fantastique: Love this place! John and Rae are amazing trainers! Very knowledgeable, caring and effective. I’ve made so much progress since joining and am very satisfied!

Expérience fantastique: If I could rate this place more than just 5 stars I would. This gym is equipped with exactly what you need for a successful workout or stretching session. Impulse fitness offers options of group personal training classes or private classes which makes it very versatile for clients to truly chose what is best for them. John is extremely knowledgeable, kind and helpful. I have been going to the group personal training classes for roughly 7+ months and I have seen a tremendous amount of changes with my body compared to when I have attempted working out on my own or in other group classes. I used to barely be able successfully do a hike without taking tons and tons of breaks but because of John I’m able to have the endurance needed :)

Expérience fantastique: 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.

Expérience fantastique: John is amazing! The facility is great! John helped me get rid of my shoulder pain and showed me how to prevent it from happening again!

Expérience fantastique: I've been training here for over a year, and I love it. I am very lucky and grateful to have found this gym. John is the most knowledgeable and experienced trainer I have ever worked with. He understands individual needs and adjusts his work out accordingly. John helped me with low back pain and a rounded neck. He understands the root of the problem and worked on it in the best way possible. Thank you for the wonderful service! I would highly recommend John!

Expérience fantastique: John is a fantastic knowledgeable trainer. Unlike other trainers I have worked with he is dedicated to me reaching my goals and making sure I am pushing myself. He has also shown me how to correct my hip and shoulder alignment issues where other trainers just avoided the exercise or shoved my shoulder into place. I have had faster results with the group classes then previous experiences as well. I highly recommend impulse fitness.

Expérience fantastique: A gym with good people and a dedicated trainer John. I have been training at this gym for over 3 years on a consistent basis. At first it was quite a challenge for me not having any experience, little motivation and being intimidated stepping into a gym. I am thankful to have met John who has many years of experience and he is quite knowledgeable like no other trainer I’ve ever encountered. I’ve realized my results come with strategic guidance from John, following through his recommendations, and keeping myself accountable with my own action. Regardless if you are a novice or a seasoned gym goer, this is the place to be if you want results.

Expérience fantastique: When I first started training with John I hadn't a clue how to exercise properly. But with his help I quickly improved week by week. I looked forward to my classes with him because he has the ability to make exercising fun. I would highly recommend John to anyone looking for a highly qualified personal trainer. He gave me the confidence I needed to join a gym and he showed me that a healthy lifestyle can be interesting and fun. Thank you John

Expérience fantastique: By far the best training I’ve ever had! The level of coaching is phenomenal. After years of working out I am finally learning how to lift correctly, without hurting my body.

Expérience fantastique: I love coming to Impulse Fitness! It’s such a fantastic place to workout and the atmosphere of the gym is always positive. John keeps me motivated on coming back and is very supportive. Thanks, John!

Expérience fantastique: Ive been training for many many years and thought I was a know it all until I meet John. John is a one of a kind trainer you will find out there now a day. He is super knowledgeable. He is a go to either you need to lose weight, gain muscle, nutrition, loss of mobility and any muscle tightness or soreness. Its crazy to say since I meet John I don't ever need to go to my RMT, or chiropractor. John is a one stop, he works his magic every time. The atmosphere at Impulse is amazing especially the group classes. Everyone is so encouraging and it makes working out so easy and fun. Thank you John for being such an amazing trainer, you are a one of a kind :) big thanks to fixing my messed up shoulder after my bad fall from skiing :D

Expérience fantastique: John is a great guy and an amazing trainer. He keeps me on track and pushes me hard. Impulse Fitness is a great facility and offers the best environment for working out. Whatever your goals might be, John will get you there.

Expérience fantastique: John coach is the man! Ive been training with him for years now. Super knowledgeable in anything to do with fitness and nutrition. 10 out 10 would recommend John Xue and impulse fitness.

Expérience fantastique: I have been working with John for a couple of years now and he has always done an excellent job in showing me the correct form, working through the workouts and pushing me to get the most out of every workout. I have lost 30lbs while working with him but gained an incredible amount of knowledge around how to exercise properly, efficiently and and how to adapt when I hit a plateau. He has also helped me address my nutrition and and created a healthier lifestyle for me overall. Now with the group classes it is helping me to move to the next level in my workouts in a motivating, friendly environment. I would highly recommend working with John and Impulse fitness!

Expérience fantastique: Started working out with John over three years ago now. I was about a hundred pounds over weigh at the time and with Johns help and motivation I have lost all the weight and have kept it off. If you are looking for a trainer who will help tailor the right kind of program for you wether it be weight loss, gaining muscle or rehabbing from injury John is amazing.

Expérience fantastique: Fantastic service and commitment. What I really appreciate is the holistic approach to fitness -- it's more than just a workout! But the workouts are great too! Massive improvement in my health.

Expérience fantastique: Really good experience while training here. Was stuck at a plateau but ended up losing 15 pounds after John changed my workout and diet. Never thought it would make me feel so much better and more energy

Expérience négative: Will take your money and never seen the owner again. He’s a thief and has screwed over many people over the years. There is many posts in google about this. Don’t support what he does to people
