Peak Performance is a health and wellness company that specializes in bridging the gap between the sciences of nutrition and exercise and the practices of eating for peak health and sport performance. We work with Canadian national teams and athletes at the international, national, provincial and professional levels; masters athletes; and young athletes at the recreational and elite levels. We develop and deliver corporate health and wellness programs throughout the National Capital region. We conduct community level research on physical activity and nutrition in partnership with CAAWS (Canadian Association for the Advancement of Women and Girls in Sport).

We develop health and physical conditioning through movement - practical movement which is able to be utilized for real-life purposes, in real-life endeavours by real-life people. We focus on:1/ developing the body for use in practical, every day situations - walking, bending, climbing, lifting, running, jumping, twisting and turning;2/ instilling the habit of movement into our daily routine;3/ making these movements, stronger, better and more efficient. Our objective is genuine health and wellbeing as a result of better, more comfortable, more frequent movement in our lives - not just the mirage of "fitness" interspersed at specific intervals. Results are founded on basic ideas and training principles combined with research, hands-on practice, creativity, and passion. Functional Fitness is not a mainstream gym facility, does not have a "stereotypic 'gym-like'" mentality nor does it use traditional "gym methodology" to create the physical challenge necessary for change. It plays a supporting role to the abilities and attitude of those who walk through its doors with the determination to improve themselves, their lives and their ability to perform - regardless of the stage on which they do so!
