Vanguard Performance

This review is utterly candid and contains only a breadth of praise that I could express: In short - I could not do without weekly personal training sessions from Vanguard Performance (VP) since training there from its conception. In the last year of working with Garrett, I have seen so many changes in attaining peak training performance (ie. I ran my fastest half-marathon and this season have been the strongest on the mountains skiing). The personal training sessions are unlike any generic PT sessions in the city - of which I have tried and tested many. For someone that pays careful attention to finer details and savvy about data-driven performance such as VO2 max, thresholds, weekly loads, and performance progression - Garrett can identify these with ease and you see solid results over the weeks. During the active recovery phases, Maria provides a full range of comprehensive mobility expertise. She is able to unlock movement mechanic blockages from overuse and overload - this is essential to opening further pathways to progression. Also, over a span of years, I have faced a multitude of sports injuries including a dislocated shoulder and traumatic ankle ligament tear. Maria has been my rehab coach and regenerated my injuries within weeks - I do not waste time with physio anymore. As for the environment and space at VP: it is beautifully designed. The equipment contains cross-stitched leather that feels like you are never on sweaty equipment but rather sitting on living room furniture! The facilities are clean - having the cold plunge and sauna are also essential. But the privacy and exclusivity you feel whilst the sessions are taking place are probably what contains the biggest (yet unspoken) value at VP. I go there without having to worry about lining up or sharing equipment and can get my session done peacefully. The music system is also state-of-the art which gets you pumped up - My only comment would be if they had an espresso machine for those early morning pushes ! :) With me, Vanguard is not just run of the mill PT - it is having professional, consistent, positive support. I would refer anybody who truly believes in achieving a level of fitness that is beyond any investment on yourself. Having a coach at VP is your body’s best retirement savings plan.

Vanguard is easily the best gym I’ve trained at. I like to call it my one stop health shop. I can train, cold plunge, hit the red light sauna, and then be able to book in for a massage and other treatments all in the same place. It really makes things easy. But the best part about Vanguard is the staff, every person there is so lovely and really knows what they’re doing. You feel at ease knowing you’re in such good hands.

I’ve trained at a lot of gyms over the years and Vanguard Fitness is on a different level. It’s more of an executive-style open gym with personal training, so you get a serious training environment without the chaos of a big commercial gym. Garrett is an outstanding trainer. He really understands functional strength and overall health, and he programs with purpose. Every session feels intentional and tailored, not random or trendy. The equipment is top tier. Competition plates, high-end machines, and everything you need to train properly. If you care about strength, performance, and longevity, this place delivers. And the sauna and cold plunge included with the membership just put it over the top. Recovery is built right into the experience. Honestly, there’s no place better. Highly recommend.

Vanguard Performance is truly one of the nicest gyms I’ve ever been to. The space is spotless and modern, filled with state-of-the-art equipment that makes every workout feel next level. Their amenities are incredible — from the infrared sauna and cold plunge tubs to a world-class recovery area that sets them apart from any other facility. The environment is always welcoming, uplifting, and positive. Garrett, Maria, and all the trainers are extremely knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely invested in your progress. If you’re looking for a place that blends top-tier training with an amazing atmosphere, Vanguard Performance is the place to be. Highly recommended!

Vanguard Performance has been such a nice place to workout and get health/wellness treatments. As someone who historically avoids a gym, Vanguard has completely changed my perspective. Finding the right place makes such a difference and Vanguard provides customized work out regimens along with great holistic health offerings (IV drip, massages, infrared sauna, etc.). They are also dog friendly! My dog Coco absolutely LOVES coming to workout with me (look at her happy face!). It's a positive and inclusive space for all! Shoutout to Maria for being so great!
