Guelph Performance Fitness & Therapy

Fantastic facility with incredible trainers and professionals who understand the importance of movement/return to sport. I have done athletic therapy with Alana, who is excellent at getting at the root of issues and providing effective solutions. I have also done training with Vlad who is amazing and very dedicated and passionate about what he does. He is always exceptionally patient and thorough, going above and beyond to answer questions and research solutions and exercises.

Vlad really goes the extra mile for his clients and does his best to understand their individual needs and where they might need to make adjustments in their training. I have done a variety of activities but training with Vlad has resulted in the most progress by far. With Vlad's help I was able to achieve things I didn't think were possible for me. I highly recommend booking time with Vlad, and/or trying out his Wednesday class.

I have been taking partner personal training with Vlad for the past few months and I can't say enough good things about the experience. Vlad is phenomenal - thoughtful, thorough, and a great instructor. My training partner and I came in with the double whammy of looking to cross train for a specialized sport and having very poor proprioception, and he developed a training plan that actually works for both! We're seeing and feeling big changes. The gym itself is awesome: quiet and clean.

Alana was great! She took her time and was very friendly as well as explained the process as we went. She came up with a treatment plan that addressed the underlying issue and for a long term solution. I look forward to going back

I came to Alana with severe rib pain. She reduced my stress and discomfort and I feel so much better! She’s also a great listener and really takes care of her clients. I’ll be going back

This place is amazing. I went to Alana to help with recovery from post concussion syndrome and she’s been instrumental in my pain management. I wouldn’t be as healthy as I am today without her. I truly can’t recommend this clinic enough!

Highly recommended ! Alana was absolutely amazing. I had booked massages for our riders during competitions at Angelstone and Major League and her expertise depth, knowledge of athletes and experience was so, so appreciated. All three riders told me they can’t wait to be back and visit her again.

Emily has been fantastic, she's patient, clear on instructions and expectations. She's provided my 17 Y.O. son with mobility exercises at the clinic and to complete at home. 12 days post injury to an assumed ACL tear he's walking and has almost the same range in both knees. We are grateful for the knowledge and therapy he's been provided so far.

Came in to see Alena with a sore shoulder/upper back looking for some help. She accurately assessed the problem and explained how it could have come about and the muscles involved. Very knowledgeable, professional and personable. She did some deep tissue work and showed me exercises to strengthen the area. If you have an ongoing nagging pain or soft tissue injury I highly recommend!

Alana is a thoughful and technical massage therapist. She incorporates her medical knowledge to help you feel better! Thank you Alana for helping me!

I was in so much pain - my quality of life as a mom of 2 was not good before coming to Alana. I wasn’t sleeping and my shoulder and neck was really bad. Alana was amazing! She not only worked the problem and brought relief but gave me exercises to do at home. I was able to do my mom duties and be happy again - thanks Alana!

Had a series of personal training sessions with Lyle - fun, friendly, knowledgeable, and we definitely saw results! The gym is clean & quiet. I also saw Myles (Athletic Therapist) about a wrist issue, and we're seeing results with range of motion there too! Overall... great team, great place!

This is my second time using Guelph Performance Fitness & Therapy since 2020. Myles was very patient and explained the treatment plan in great detail. It was a pleasure listening to the rationale for the various exercises that are designed to help me address my persistent achilles heel pain. Based on my experience in 2020 (CI joint pain), we'll work on addressing my issue, plus, and just as importantly, I will be able to incorporate the exercises in my regular routine so that the issue is less likely to reoccur.

I cannot express how grateful I am to have found Alana! I had been dealing with nagging injuries and imbalances from competitive powerlifting over the years that were negatively interfering with my workouts and the quality of my day-to-day life. Alana is extremely knowledgeable, I appreciate that she takes the time to assess my body’s needs during each session and prescribes me exercises so that I can maintain optimal performance in the gym and life. I highly recommend Alana if you are looking to move better and feel better!

Alana has been treating me for a few years now. She has worked wonders on my issues with my neck and shoulders. I require continued maintenance for my neck issues. Alana always works with me and gives me exercises to do at home. She is always so welcoming and professional every appointment. I recommended Guelph Performance Therapy to anyone that is looking for RMT, AT and a great gym.

Very thorough and a different approach to massage therapy for sure. Targeting the muscles that really cause the issue. My muscles were aching and I truly thought it was nerve pain, Alana did some basic investigative prodding and found the issue in less than it took me to order a coffee. The rest is history, I know that I am in good hands at Guelph Performance. When I stepped in my car it was as if I was 20 again. We also discussed moving exercises for in the home and how to incorporate them in the day. I am very happy, feeling still like new. I only have positive words and can recommend the people and Guelph Performance to anyone.

Came in today with a very sore shoulder. Myles was amazing, very thorough! Will be back

I have a long way to go to reach my goals , but I am in a much better place than I was weeks ago . I will continue with everything I have learned and I am more confident in my workouts.

Very knowledgeable and detailed. Did a great job listening to my issues and developed an action plan.

Emily is very knowledgeable/personable and explained her diagnosis and my treatment plan to a level that I understood. I’m very happy with my experience.

I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone looking for Athletic Therapy. Jessica is a fantastic therapist who is very knowledgeable and helpful. She worked with me to find a exercise program to help me manage my arthritis in my knee and since following her program and advice my condition has improved substantially. She goes above and beyond for her patients.
