Look at all the smiles!

Who says stairs have to be miserable? (Except maybe Bonnie 😝)

Even in these restrictive times we are so grateful for our community and love all the posts from everyone!

Keep it up because whether you know it or not... It keeps us all accountable... especially when it's easy to lockdown at home.

While gyms may be closed, we still LOVE seeing everyone active and engaged.

In case you haven't heard, the government announce

In case you haven't heard, the government announced further restrictions starting today.

In the words of AHS:
"All youth and adult indoor sport and recreation activities are prohibited. This applies to all youth activities, including for students still learning in classrooms.

Outdoor fitness activities may continue if all other provincewide restrictions and safety measures are followed.

Outdoor recreation amenities can be open to public access unless specifically closed by public health order."

But wait! There's good news:

We had a contingency plan prepared and set up our back courtyard for this situation. The courtyard is secured, fenced and shielded from the general public.
It's been cleared so we can move obstacles in and out as needed for the kids to still be able to practice obstacles, train, and play a wide variety of games.

While we do take safety seriously and want to see cases go down we are crushed at how it affects the kids.

We've said it before that our concern is not just the physical health of the kids, but the emotional health as well.
All kids classes are still open and will just take place in the open air in our back courtyard.

Kids will still check in at the front and be immediately moved to the courtyard where they will still get to play.
We will be sending an another update shortly with procedural details etc.

We will continue to be diligent with the pre-screening protocols and if they are feeling any symptoms please err on the side of safety.

As always, we are so grateful for your cooperation and support.

How do you get over your excuses?

For me. it's just been my lifestyle.

There are days that I might indulge in a meal or have an extra glass of wine.

But I love working out and feel like crap if I don't.

For me, it's about getting in a good workout... not counting all my calories. 🧮

What about you?

My form has a long way to go, but at least I didn'

My form has a long way to go, but at least I didn't fall on my face?😫
⁠
There's a couple of variations (just like Fit, Fitter, Fittest) you can try: ⁠

1 - Can you put on a sock while keeping the down leg straight (No bend in the knee)?⁠

2 - Can you you put on a sock while maintaining a tall posture (Without excessively rounding the back)?⁠

3 - Can you put on a sock while comfortably balancing on one leg?⁠
⁠
1... 2... or 3 let us know how you did! 👇 GOOD LUCK 😂💪⁠

(I'm a good solid 2!)

Did you think that was an intense and fun trip down memory lane too?

MJ's a beast and a warrior... and it wan't just his talent that earned him the title of one the GOAT's.

He needed to b pushed harder than all his competitors and his Personal Traininer (PT) was a great fit for him.

Guac is the such an awesome all around dip...

And if you don't feel like actually making it, the Costco individual packs have a pretty wicked garlic kick to them too! 🥑

(Obstacle pun completely intended) 😁

It's been a long, lonely winter...

And going back into Stage-1 lockdown is definitely frustrating for a lot of people.

But when life give you lemons, you make margaritas.

Check out what we did out back!

Now we can responsibly blow off some steam outside. In accordance of AHS rules classes can only be held outdoors and capped at 10.

This winter has been 💩 and we had to do something to exercise our mental as well as our physical health. We're just thankful that we have this space and opportunity to do something when so many other gyms don't have this luxury.

Come check it out. Summer's just around the corner!

Mmmmmmm... bacon.... 🤤

That's a huge perk for Keto lovers. No carbs, max flavour.

At least making these cups doesn't seem as savage as loading up a plateful of bacon from a buffet table!

Does bacon set you off like Homer Simpson too? 🥓

How many times have you not done what you wanted t

How many times have you not done what you wanted to do because you didn't feel like it? 📉

It happens to all of us and we try to make ourselves FEEL better with the same excuses..

- I had a long day and want to relax. 💤
- I ran out of time because my kids were a handful. 🤬
- I'll do it tomorrow.🗓️

Problem is, it's always the same excuse and the whole purpose of why you wanted to take action should be your focus:

- You want to be comfortable in your own skin 📸
- You want to live a longer and healthier life for your kids 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦
- You want to fit in your favourite outfit again. 👗

Whatever your reason, it's worth doing.

So quit reasoning the logic behind your inaction and remember the reason you want to take action.

DM us "Let's go!" if you're ready to take action.
