Studio IPF: Inner Pursuit Fitness

Fantastic experience: I joined IPF at the start of COVID 19. A friend recommended it to me and I enjoyed many online classes until they could open up again. It is now a favourite workout studio for me with such a great variety of classes to choose from but mostly because of the supportive instructors and friendly people to workout with.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been attending Naomi’s yoga classes for a few weeks now. If you are searching for some great yoga look no further. Naomi is very skilled and knowledgeable on what she teaches. She is kind and ever so helpful. I am so thrilled I have yoga in my life again. Thank you Naomi and Leanne !

Fantastic experience: Studio IPF is truly a great group of instructors and clients. It really is a community and I always feel so welcome and comfortable.

Fantastic experience: I have always been fit, despite having Rheumatoid Arthritis since I was a teenager, but I am now 53 and have had a rough couple of years health-wise including a hip replacement. I am now beginning to claw my way back to where I used to be pre-hip issues. I knew I could not do it on my own and having taken Pilates classes from Leanne 20 years ago I knew she was the one to get me to fall back in love again with exercise. I finished my first TRX class this afternoon and I knew I had made the right decision. Leanne has an amazing ability to make you feel strong and confident and able to do almost anything! She always finds a way to modify exercises to make them work for your level and ability without making you feel inadequate. I can't recommend the TRX classes at Studio IPF enough. If you are looking for a way to get strong and increase your flexibility this is the place. What are you waiting for? Hope to see you in class soon! Thanks, Leanne and Studio IPF

Fantastic experience: Studio IPF is the most inclusive, supportive and fun facility I have ever belonged to. Their classes range from boot camp style traditional fitness classes to yoga to Zumba and cardio dance and so much more. All classes offer options so you decide what you need on any given day without judgment. As someone who has been scarred by the “in your face” style classes, IPF has been a welcome change. Leanne works hard to create a system of support and sense of community. Love, love, love this studio.

Fantastic experience: I recently participated in the 35-day Spring wellness challenge. It was exactly what I needed to re-prioritize my health and wellness with a delicious meal plan, fitness classes of all kinds and wonderful support from Leanne. I noticed a significant boost in my energy and I even lost a few pounds and inches. Most importantly, I am committed to this healthy lifestyle going forward. 35 days of mindful eating & movement has got me back on track and I am grateful for this program.

Fantastic experience: My introduction to IPF was at my very first challenge about 6 or 7 years ago. I did well on that challenge and loved IPF so much that I joined and am now a lifetime member. This challenge has been awesome. I didn't have to guess at what to eat and loved cooking the simple and easy delicious recipes. It really took the guesswork out of my food plan and I thoroughly enjoyed it. For the first time in my life (and I'm no spring chicken) I actually was able to eat so much better and my exercise routine was great, a lot of variety. I would encourage anyone to try a challenge. Leanne is very helpful and makes everything fun. The sharing and encouragement of other group members was also very helpful. I feel proud and energized and taking good care of myself has paid off in spades.

Fantastic experience: I just completed a 35 day Challenge with IPF It was excellent, very easily laid out with meal plans and a variety of exercises being offered. All “teachers” were great and very supportive. I finished feeling energized and motivated.

Fantastic experience: I have attended Studio IPF classes for many years. The classes, the instructors and the community are awesome. This morning at did Zumba with Alana on Zoom! Her class is a great way to start the day and the moves, music, and instruction are five stars. I wrote this review awhile ago. Since then, I have taken several more challenges and many more classes. Each one moves my health and fitness bar a bit higher and I am feeling really good! Whether you live here or not, you can participate in the studio’s offerings and be part of our wonderful community! Today I again want to say how great the virtual classes are that started when COVID shut us all in. I live half an hour from the studio. Now, I can take 2 classes in a day and save 2 hours of driving. I can book a class last minute. I have a business from home so I can slip out of camera view to take an important business call. I find I am taking 4-6X as many classes virtually. And, if you do not live in the Comox Valley you still can take these great classes.

Fantastic experience: I just finished the 35 Day Routine Reset Challenge and it has been a great 35 day experience. This program got me back on track with both my fitness and healthy eating. Weekly meal plans as well as a grocery list is given to you with ample time to get yourself prepped and ready for a healthy week. I loved having access to as many online classes I wanted everyday of the week. If the set times didn't fit, I could choose from dozens of pre-recorded classes that fit my time schedule. Leanne was amazing. She is so positive, encouraging, attentive to anything you need or ask for. The almost daily emails from Leanne helped me success with this program I HIGHLY recommend you give one of the Challenges a try. You won't be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: Studio IPF’s challenges are a supportive way to either get started changing habits or get you back on track with healthy choices. The food plans are a guided way to learn about healthy food choices and are also a good way to practice cooking from scratch. The fitness options are varied enough to appeal to a wide audience and the instructors are very supportive and kind. There is something for everyone! If you are thinking you need to make some changes in your life and you want to feel amazing, I highly recommend starting with an IPF Challenge!

Fantastic experience: We recently held our 2021 YANA Big Love Benefit and want to thank you for your generous donation of an IPF 28 Day Challenge. The Comox Valley has embraced the concept that it takes a community to raise a child. We are grateful for Studio IPF: Inner Pursuit Fitness' donation which helped create a memorable evening and a successful fundraiser. Thank you on behalf of YANA (You Are Not Alone) Comox Valley Board of Directors

Fantastic experience: The IPF 28 day reset was my first challenge I ever participated in. Within days I noticed the aches in my joints went away and I had renewed energy after a busy work day. The food recipes opened my eyes to healthier alternatives and required little preparation. I enjoyed exploring the classes live and virtual as I live out of town, and the prerecorded allow me to access times that worked for my schedule. Leanne and her crew are amazing!

Fantastic experience: Never tried an IPF reset challenge .... well why wait ?? I signed up for my 1st challenge thinking that it was going to shake up my fitness routine - but bam....it was a healthy kick to my overall health and wellness -- I didn't even have to really think....every week Leanne sent us meal plans, shopping lists and recipes -- it was so nice not to have to ask the family what does everyone want for supper??? it was already planned for me ... I have some severe food allergies but Leanne and the other amazing challengers were there to offer suggestions -- I encourage you to challenge yourself and sign up for the next one .. you won't regret it-- heck you might even learn to like broccoli like I did :) Cheryl R

Fantastic experience: Inner Pursuit Fitness offers an inclusive, supportive environment, that caters to all levels of fitness. Leanne and her team have created a safe, and encouraging environment for everyone who attends.

Fantastic experience: I recently completed the reset challenge at IPF and it was amazing. We were supported by Leanne with weekly check-in calls, weekly meal plans, fitness classes and recipes. After 4 weeks, my stomach feels happy again and I’ve learned some very healthy habits and routines!

Fantastic experience: I was part of the 28 day reset and just in the first week I felt a difference. It was almost as if I was lighter. They provide recipes and a meal plan for the challenge and even I a non cook can make them. Along with eating plan you get to participate in the on-line or in studio classes, which I have totally enjoyed for a couple years now. I plan to keep up with the meal planning and classes for years to come. Love love love this place.

Fantastic experience: Positive leadership to all at any age and training experience. Super-quick changeover to virtual since Covid kept the variety of classes happening. Recent 28 day challenge included the online classes along with generous daily and weekly motivating information and group sharing via email and zoom.

Fantastic experience: Leanne and all the instructors at IPF are amazing! Just finished the 35 day challenge to get back on track with a workout schedule. Loving the online classes, so much easier to fit them into my day that way.

Fantastic experience: I have recently finished the IPF 35 day routine reset challenge and was thrilled with the process and the results. The frequent motivational emails sent by Leanne, the meal plans, the recipes, the shopping lists all made this challenge easily doable. The virtual workouts and yoga classes are great and there's no excuse since you can do them from anywhere you have internet access. I would encourage anyone who wants to reset their routine to sign up for a challenge through Studio IPF. But don't wait for a challenge to start going to as many exercise/yoga classes that fit into your schedule - they're great!

Fantastic experience: I'm sharing my experience of working with Naomi Chester, who is, among other things, a yoga teacher at Studio IPF. I've known Naomi for a number of years, but our paths crossed again a couple of years ago via a shared passion for tango — and teaching yoga. As I've started my career as a yoga teacher I've found Naomi's knowledge of yoga and Aeurveyda to be profoundly helpful, in my teaching, but perhaps even more so on a personal level. I have the greatest respect for Naomi, and recommend her to anyone wanting a yoga class. I also recommend her as a coach, someone who knows how to apply the wisdom of yoga and the Aeurveydic perspective to the rough and the smooth of life.

Fantastic experience: I love the IPF challenges!!! They offer support, great workouts, a really good meal plan that gives you all the information you need and check-ins with your challenge group- so you know you are not doing it alone! I have done many and will do more!!!

Fantastic experience: I just finished the Spring Reset Challenge with IPF. I highly recommend them to anybody searching for a new start. Before this challenge I was definitely stuck. I was down on myself, not making the best food choices and struggling to get off the couch. The support I received from Coach Leanne as well as the group members was amazing! It was exactly what I needed to turn my slump around, get moving and remember how good eating good food makes me feel! Just do it! You won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: I recently participated in a 28 day challenge at IPF. I thoroughly enjoyed the variety of exercises available so that you could sample new classes without committing for weeks to something that may not be a good fit. The food guide and instructions were very easy to follow and prep in advance to make staying on track easier. The personal coaching which came with the challenge was all about positive body image and self care which were a highlight for me. I look forward to the next challenge in a few months! Thanks for the slimmer, healthier and more balanced me, Leanne.

Fantastic experience: I joined the 40 day yoga challenge and am loving every bit. Naomi has incredible style and explains the poses and modifications in a way that speaks to everyone no matter how you are feeling or what your level of experience. I appreciate having access to different styles of yoga and instructors as well as the opportunity to try other fitness classes. I highly recommend this supportive and fun community.

Fantastic experience: An awesome place for motivating you to challenge yourself. An incredible support team who offers a vast amount of knowledge about health and fitness. You come in unsure? You will leave with confidence!

Fantastic experience: When I decided to join this challenge I thought maybe it would help me get back to healthy eating, it did this but i also learnt so much more about myself. This has been a life changer for me. I have always moved my body and eaten well, but during lockdown I noticed I was doing the afternoon snack attack....I would then feel awful and decide I did not need dinner. Coach Leanne gave me the insight that allowed me to realize the importance of planning, shopping and eating nutritious meals. I feel good, strong and satisfied. I highly recommend this challenge, it is first class, And you are supplied with everything you need. Do this for yourself because you are worth it!

Fantastic experience: I love Studio IPF! I've been going for 3 years (maybe more?!) now and haven't committed to a place that long - ever. There are tons of class options so I'm never bored and enough time slots throughout the day that I have no excuse not to attend something! The instructors are amazing and I have felt welcomed from day one. Would highly recommend to anyone who needs variety to stay motivated and group classes to push themselves!

Fantastic experience: I just wanted to say that Tina's Yoga class on Tuesday, July 24th at 6:00 a.m. was probably one of the best classes I have ever attended. The class flowed beautifully and she is just so sweet.

Fantastic experience: Delighted to see the addition of some highly skilled yoga instructors to the IPF roster, especially the yoga classes that occur at "out-of-the-box" times such as really early in the morning or the early evenings.

Fantastic experience: Yin yoga with Brigit on Monday evenings after TRX is a great way to loosen up and wind down for the night.

Fantastic experience: I just finished my first ipf cardio dance with Jessica Whitman. If you love to dance this is the class for you. 5 stars is not enough to give. Jessica made it so much fun and fun for all levels of dancers. I cant wait to go again. ❤

Fantastic experience: What a gem. My wife and I have only gone a few times, but we feel at home already. They are so welcoming. They offer a multitude of classes for people with varied schedules, and the instructors are supportive, engaging, and really make it attainable for ALL bodies and levels. My wife is more of a beginner and I am a little more flexible, and we both get a really challenging workout in the same class. So if you have never been, or are hesitant to try yoga, pilates, TRX, and everything else they offer, this is definitely a place to take your first step.

Fantastic experience: For many years I have been enjoying the yoga offerings at this inspirational fitness studio. Hatha, Power, Rise and Energize, Yin, and BUTI are yoga practices that are available and at a great variety of times to fit your schedule. This studio is so much more than a place to exercise, it is a community.

Fantastic experience: Unbelievably great teachers, that help you with the poses as well as steps in different classes.

Fantastic experience: Good people, good workouts. The TRX class was good.
