We asked Todd Durkin, with IMPACT-X Performance, to tell us more about the company and about being a part of the Poway Chamber. For those looking for more information about IMPACT-X Performance, Todd can be reached directly at todddurkin@gmail.com or by phone at (619) 889-6784.
Tell us about your company.
We are a fitness, recovery, & coaching business that specializes in personal training, semi-private personal training, and group-training, along with cutting edge recovery techniques, such as sauna, cold-plunge, compression therapy, red-light therapy, and massage therapy. We are industry-leaders in the fitness and sports training space and love to serve, help, and coach people to get their health, energy, mojo, and LIFE back. We look forward to being a part of your health & fitness journey and helping you recapture your best LIFE.
What made you decide to choose this field or industry?
I have been in this space for over 25-years as I started my first gym, Fitness Quest 10, in year 2000. In 2024, I started IMPACT-X Performance to combine Faith, Fitness, Recovery, and Life-Coaching all under one roof. It was a serious back injury that got me into the health, fitness, and wellness space in the first place and it has been the PEOPLE and lives changed that have kept the mission going strong. I'm grateful for who we get to serve.
What is the most interesting part of your business?
The most interesting part of our business is the diversity of people that my team and I get to work with. While I have personally forged a niche in working with the highest level athletes in the world (NFL, MLB, etc), we as a team love working with people of all ages, shapes, sizes, and levels. From kids, to executives, to Mom's & Dad's trying to recapture their health and vitality again, to seniors, and people looking to improve longevity and wellness, we love meeting people with where they are at and then setting goals to work towards great improvement.
What do you wish you knew starting out, or what would you have done differently?
Starting out is always so exciting and challenging at the same time. I would say that I wish I knew even more people in the area. That's why I'm also excited to be part of the Chamber of Commerce so that I can get to know many new people.
What are you most proud of?
I'm most proud of 3 things: #1. I've been married for 25-years to my wife Melanie, who also teaches at IMPACT-X Performance, as well as being a full-time professor at Southwestern Community College. #2. I'm proud that we have 3 healthy kids (23, 21, and 18) who are all doing well in life. We are soon about to be empty-nesters! #3. I'm proud that we have been able to change thousands of people's lives over my career. IMPACT-X Performance is my new home to change A LOT more people's lives and I couldn't be more excited to be in the greater Poway area and meet new people..
Tell us something we would not know about you.
Good question. I have written 6-books thus far, I love to do motivational keynote speaking, and I have trained (and still train) some of the top athletes in the world, including athletes like soon to be NFL Hall of Famer Drew Brees (23-year client), LaDainian Tomlinson, Darren Sproles, Tony Gwynn Jr., and a host of others.
What keeps you inspired and motivated?
My faith-walk and mission to "BE THE LIGHT." We want to help Poway and the greater San Diego area bring more great health, positivity, & LIGHT to our community.
When and why did you join the Poway Chamber of Commerce?
I just joined in May 2026, so that I can expand my network in Poway and the neighboring communities. I believe networking is so important on multiple fronts so that we can ultimately serve more people and help other businesses/people be successful as well.
What would you tell someone who is considering joining the Poway Chamber?
The power of networking is undeniable and if you actively get involved, it can be a huge win for you personally and professionally.
What has been your favorite part of being a member of the Poway Chamber of Commerce?
There are so many different events, networking opportunities, and socials available.
