Community Though the Performance Institute focuses on the physical aspect of health and fitness, we also recognize that true health can only be achieved with a dynamic interaction among mental, social, spiritual, and physical aspects of the individual.
On a day to day basis we push our clients both mentally and physically with ever changing drills that challenge the body as much as the mind. In addition, the group training atmosphere and staff at the Performance Institute ensure a fun, social and inspired environment that makes clients want to be here.

In addition to the day to day "community" created at the Performance Institute, increasingly, we are hosting family and client focused events that further add to the inspirational quality of our training centre. As much as possible we have our clients involved in giving us ideas as to how to run our special events. Special Events at The Performance Institute:
With the concerted effort of trainers, clients and their families, and volunteers, the Performance Institute raised over $9000 for the Cancer Society during their fun-filled and awe-inspiring TRAIN the TRAINER event.
Burnaby , BC, CANADA - We enjoyed another successful year at the Performance Institute's 4 th Annual TRAIN THE TRAINER Canadian Cancer Society Fundraiser, June 10 th 2007. The event was run in conjunction with the Canlan, Burnaby 8-Rinks Open House.
With the concerted effort of volunteers, clients and trainers, we raised over $9000 for the Cancer Society. All money raised will be used in support of the society's mission to eradicate cancer and to enhance the lives of those living with the disease.
The event encompassed a range of different activities that appealed to both clients and their families. Events included wheelchair basketball, a Cybex bike challenge, soccer juggling and of course, the opportunity for clients to "payback" their trainers for all the physical "punishment" they'd endured. Participants also had the chance sample the Runner's Den skills of foot analysis and custom shoe fittings.
The show of kindness by all participants in this event was amazing. A special thank you to our sponsors; MBNA Canada, Body Plus, Active Kinetics, Sean Richardson Golf Pro, The Stick, Runner's Den, Vancouver Whitecaps, Starbucks, Jan K Overwheel, Choices, Yaletown Yoga, Sport chec, and all support staff.
Plans are already underway for 'Train the Trainer 2008'. We look forward to meeting and exceeding our goals. Keep a look out for next year's dates, to ensure you don't miss out. We hope that once again people will join us to make cancer history.
Thanks again for your generous support.
EXTREME FITNESS CHALLENGEAnother successful "first" for the Performance Institute occurred in July at our "Extreme Fitness Challenge." This unique event combined river rafting, outdoor-oriented strength and conditioning and boxing work-outs as well as team building initiative challenges designed to push both the individual and team to their individual and combined limits. Even we were surprised by the success of this event! We have no doubt that this will become an annual favorite retreat of many regular and new Performance Institute clients. "The
