PISE Testimonials

Our son has really enjoyed the camp and looks forward to going every morning even though none of his friends are there. He'd like to take the camp again next year.

The boys had a great time and clearly they learned some new skills and knowledge about sports science. One of the boys keeps demonstrating his stretches, and this morning the other one asked if he could sprinkle ground flaxseed (which I'd been sneaking into their smoothies) onto his breakfast cereal.

I just wanted you all to know what a great job you are doing with this camp. My son is not a sporty kid, I was worried that he wouldn't enjoy his camp but you guys made it fun for him and he had a blast. It was fun for me to see him go outside his comfort zone and try new things. I have a feeling that I won't be able to get him away from the treadmill after this.) I don't think I have ever seen him run before with a smile on his face before. Thank you for all your hard work and effort and all the kids are lucky to have you guys as camp leaders.

The new weights facility at PISE is unlike any facility we have worked in before. Not only is the equipment perfect for our needs as elite athletes, but the extra space and welcoming environment really encourages us to train hard every day. Alongside the cutting-edge weight rooms, are the gym, fields, and recovery rooms; all of which are innovative and essential to high performance. Without the Pacific Institute for Sport Excellence and the great new facilities it provides, I would never be able to receive the proper training which it takes to perform at the international level.

Being able to train at the PISE has given me the ability to perform a wide variety of sport specific exercises that gives me the edge over my competition due to the wide variety of equipment available and great training atmosphere.

Anthony La Carte - Rugby Canada


A High Performance centre such as PISE, provides Olympians and developing athletes a facility where we can train together and benefit from the very best sport science has to offer. The high performance gym is a first rate facility that will help athletes reach the podium. In that environment, I can work closely with our strength coaches on the best equipment to improve my strengths and weaknesses. Having a recovery facility allows us to train that much harder in preparation for our competitions. It enables us to recover more between practices so we can focus on the training necessary to be champions

Ever since I first walked through the doors everything has been such a positive experience for me. The staff, each and every one of them know their stuff and are always there to offer encouragement with a smile. You can feel the positive energy in the building it gets inside you and helps you to fulfill your fitness goals with a great deal of enthusiasm. Add this to the access you have to world class sports performance testing, nutrition counseling, physio therapy and state of the art training equipment and you have a winning combination. I strongly encourage you to come down and check it all out, you will be impressed and inspired to achieve your very best in this supportive, invigorating, professional sports working environment. It has made a very big difference in my life and it will in yours as well.

The Pacific Institute for Sports Excellence is the best facility in Victoria. The staff are a great group, always friendly and able to answer questions. The equipment is brand new, top of the line and easy to use. The layout of the gym is nice, open and easily accessible. They offer many diverse programs for all abilities and goals. This unique combination of some of the best equipment found in town along with very friendly and knowledgeable staff that are more than willing to assist you, makes this a great place to train. No matter what your ability, from someone just wanting to stay fit to someone wanting serious gains in certain area, you will find what you are looking for a PISE. I strongly encourage you to drop in take a look for yourself. It was the right move for me.
