Impact Functional & Sports Training

Life changing. That sounds dramatic but its true. This is not a gym in the traditional sense, it is a fitness and coaching facility. To me the difference is a more personal approach to your health and fitness. While there is plenty of standard «gym» equipment, the major benefit of joining Impact is the classes which push you beyond your expectations in a non-​judgmental environment. In my lifetime I have belonged to every type of gym and this is the first one where I have actually made significant progress on my health and fitness goals and I’m a woman in my 50s. There is a real sense of community here. Don’t be turned off by the small footprint in a shopping strip mall. The facility is clean and modern and the staff are professional, know their stuff and fun and friendly.

Fitness is a fixture in my life, especially since I’m a foodie fiend. Gotta torch all the calories from feasting somehow! I’ve worked out at many a gym/​fitness studio (various BSCs, GISFW, Gold’s, Planet Fitness), and I’ve gotta say this facility is better than all of them. I’ve got a novelty seeking habit (I know all you Unilocalers have it, too!), which is why I signed up for ClassPass this week. Haven’t kept up a normal workout routine in a month and a half from an insane schedule. Perhaps the effects of sleep deprivation haven’t worn off because I agreed to do a boxing class with a friend at Impact Functional and Sports Training alllll the way out in Sudbury. Found it was totally worth the trek, though!
The boxing class here isn’t for beginners so be ready and fuel up on healthy carbs! The workout was great — keeps you moving, works core and endurance. Our class instructor’s name was Duff — personable, efficient, and easy on the eyes (take note, ladies). Front desk lady was warm and friendly.
The training facility looks small on the outside, but don’t be fooled. For the space, it’s actually organized very well with lots of room for moving about! Packed with tons of fun and functional equipment — a fitness junkie’s paradise! And a solid training center for athletes. A few rowing machines and treadmills, sure, but they’ve got trap bars, TRX, ropes, hurdles, a track, a boxing room, kettlebells, standard weights, turf for sport specific training, foam rollers, and equipment for gymnastics. Before class started there was a ripped gymnast dude doing what looked like bar training. This place is integrative and awesome — wish it were closer so I could take more classes here on the regular.
While I can’t speak to their personal training services, I’d recommend checking out the small group training for a great workout!

This is an awesome gym! Coaches focused on you and that deliver results
