About Us
Our Story
Founded by Lance Barrett in 2014, Elite Performance was built on a simple idea: strength and conditioning programs should be individualized, not one-size-fits-all, with real coaching instead of just a room full of equipment.
Our programming is based on scientific principles yet made simple and approachable for all who walk into our Elite Performance community. Based in downtown Vancouver at 325 Howe Street, Elite Performance is a personal training and small group fitness studio designed around programming built for each client. All of our clients receive individual attention and belong to something bigger than themselves.
Coaching over crowding
Every class and PT session is programmed, not improvised. Every exercise, set, and rest period has a reason.
Community over convenience
We know everything you share with us and take that into consideration. We notice when you're not there.
Consistency with intensity
Real results come from showing up and working hard, not from one brutal workout that takes days to recover from.
Our Team
Our coaches aren't just trainers, they're the reason people walk through the door over and over again.
Community
People find their people at Elite Performance. Our community is unpretentious, real, and genuinely supportive, exactly the kind of place where lifelong friendships form between sets. That community extends beyond the studio too, beach days, year-end parties, and challenge wrap-ups bring everyone together outside of training. Elite Performance is so much more than a place to work out.
Studio Amenities
Elite Performance is a full-service strength studio, so you can train and go, no need to pack a gym bag. Our change rooms include multiple showers, not a single shared room, so you're never stuck waiting after a class or session. Every visit includes shower towels and sweat towels, along with soap, shampoo, conditioner, hair dryers, and hair irons. We also stock dry shampoo, hair elastics, and feminine products, so you're covered before heading back to work or wherever your day takes you. Day-use lockers are available on-site (bring your own lock).
The Elite Performance Difference
We built this because we wanted a place to train in a bold, no-BS, community-driven fitness environment in the heart of Vancouver.
