Todd Durkin IMPACT Show
We are just weeks away from opening my new IMPACT-X Performance facility in San Diego, CA. And one of the most important things from the start is creating an amazing culture. We did it at Fitness Quest 10. And we’ll do it again. In today’s episode of the IMPACT SHOW podcast, I’m going ALL-IN on why culture is the ultimate performance advantage—and why it will always outperform strategy, systems, or talent alone. This isn’t theory or buzzwords. This is real-time leadership straight from the trenches as we prepare to open IXP-San Diego from the ground...

In today’s episode, I’m coming in hot and pulling back the curtain on one of the most important leadership topics there is: hiring and building the right team. This conversation is happening in real time as I’m in the middle of hiring and building out a world-class team for my new IMPACT- X Performance facility here in San Diego (opening in Feb/March 2026)—and everything I’m sharing today comes straight from nearly three decades of wins, lessons, and a few hard- earned mistakes. This episode isn’t just for gym owners or business leaders—it’s for anyone who wants to be...

LET’S GO!! This week's episode of the IMPACT SHOW Podcast is a powerful reminder that fear may show up many times in one’s life--but faith always gets the final word. Episode 461 features one of the most courageous, faith-filled young leaders I know and I could not be more honored to bring you this conversation with Riley Tejcek. Riley was actually one of my guest speakers at my Annual Mountain Retreat in Whitefish, MT, in November and she blew the doors off the 110- people in the room with a jaw-dropping “Faith over Fear” talk. And today, you are going to get the...

Who’s ready to take a breath, pause, and REFLECT with me during this busy, yet beautiful holiday season? This week’s episode is a POWERFUL and timely one that can absolutely change the trajectory of your next year. Before you sprint into 2026 with new goals, new plans, and big dreams, I want you to PAUSE. Because clarity, confidence, and courage doesn’t just come from looking forward — it comes from looking BACK and extracting the GOLD from 2025 also. And that’s exactly what we are doing today. This episode is all about the transformational power of...

This week’s episode comes to you straight from the breathtaking mountains of Whitefish, Montana, where our recent Annual IMPACT Retreat reached an entirely new level of inspiration, depth, and energy. The room was electric, the ambience was inspiring, and the conversations were powerful. And today, I’ve got something incredibly special for you — a LIVE interview with one of my closest friends and one of the brightest minds in all of professional sports, Chris Young, better known as “CY.” Chris isn’t just the President of the Texas Rangers — he’s a Princeton graduate, a 17- year...

Happy holidays. I’m pumped to share today’s podcast with you during one of the most important, spiritual, and opportunity-rich seasons of the entire year. This is the season where reflection meets revelation. Where gratitude meets growth. And where faith meets fuel. Between Thanksgiving and New Year’s, we are also given a sacred window to reflect, release, and realign with God and our many blessings. Listen, this season can be magical…but it can also be stressful, overwhelming, busy, and even emotionally heavy. And if we’re not intentional, the holidays can drain us instead...

Happy Thanksgiving week and I know this season upon which we enter is a sacred one. While we want to fill our buckets up with gratitude, peace, and joy, it’s easy to be overrun with busy-ness, chaos, angst, stress, and overwhelm. As we head into Thanksgiving week and the holiday season, I wanted to slow things down…take a deep breath… and talk about two of the most powerful forces we have in our lives: Gratitude and Grace. If you want to feel more joy, more peace, more purpose and even more love, gratitude and grace are the gateway. Today, I want to share 7...
info_outlineMy friends… this might just be the biggest episode I’ve ever done. I mean it. Buckle up, because today I’m dropping the biggest news of my entire fitness career.
Yup — you heard that right. After 25+ years of building, growing, evolving, and praying on what’s next… I’m fired up to officially announce that I’m opening IMPACT-X Performance San Diego (Carmel Mountain Ranch) coming Q1 of 2026!
That’s right, baby--a brand new 5,000-square-foot sanctuary of fitness, recovery, coaching, and faith. A place where the soul sings, the spirit soars, and lives are transformed.
This episode is personal. It’s raw. It’s emotional. I’m sharing straight from the heart — because this next chapter has been years in the making.
Specifically, here is some of what I talk about on today’s IMPACT SHOW:
- The 5 reasons why I’m opening a new flagship IMPACT-X Performance location in San Diego.
- How 3.5 years of pain, burnout, and uncertainty turned into the foundation for my greatest comeback yet.
- WHY my soul needed to get back into brick and mortar — to lead, coach, and serve again in person.
- What makes IXP unique —from world-class training and recovery, to faith-fueled coaching and personal growth programs. #BuckleUp
- How scripture guided me through the storm and how this vision was born out of divine timing, not my own.
You’ll also hear about my plans for additional mentorships, retreats, and life-changing experiences we’ll host at IXP San Diego — because I can’t wait to pour into more coaches, leaders, and high performers like YOU. I’m also dropping some reflection coaching questions that I’ve asked myself the last few years — questions that shaped everything I’m announcing today. And I believe they can help you also.
Here are 4 of the questions I ask/coach you on today that I would love for YOU to answer:
- “If your older, wiser self (in 10-years from now) could speak to you, what would they say?”
- “If you knew you would not fail, what would you do — and when are you going to do it?”
- “Are you running to something or from something?”
- “What’s your BHAG--your big, hairy, audacious goal?”
This episode is about rebirth, renewal, and stepping boldly into what God’s called you to do — even when you don’t have all the answers. Because I didn’t. For years, I didn’t. But now…now the vision is crystal clear. And I can’t wait to get going!!! So tune-in, crank-up the volume, and let’s celebrate this moment together. Because IMPACT-X Performance San Diego is coming SOON — and it’s going to be something special.
