The Little Things

I looked at a calendar the other day and it hit me that we have been open for over a month already. Time flies when you’re doing split squats, right?! Every day I am encouraged by the improvements shown, and I hope you are too. We have a solid base right now, you are all […]

Know pain, No pain

One of the most significant challenges to writing group programming is exercise selection. When I write for my individualized clients I can take into consideration such as injuries… things like history of back pain, knee injury, or an imbalance between shoulders affect the choices I make in movement selection, the number of reps prescribed and […]

Assessment Week!

[notice]Something to put on your radar! Saturday Feb 9 will be a Nutrition 101 day. We will likely do this in lieu of our regularly scheduled Saturday workout. Plan for 9AM Saturday to come down and learn some simple basics to get your nutrition dialed for performance and sexiness. This will be led by Brendan. […]

Coach’s Notes Week Three

This is the last week of our current cycle. It’s gonna be a tough one! Next week will be a lighter “deloading” week. (Sorry, that doesn’t mean it will be easier). The program to date has been based on an imaginary person! This imaginary person is new to weight training, wants to improve body composition, […]

A Job Well Done…

Terry’s preparation and determination came together on Saturday as he threw down with some of the best in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Ontario. We’re proud of you Terry. Thanks for rockin the colours and being part […]

Coach’s Notes – Week TWO

Week two of our “Foundation” program is now underway. This program is targeted toward making you LEANER, more MOBILE and BALANCED. When I look at balance I look at a few things… 1) are they muscularly balanced?… common weaknesses are rotator cuffs, glutes, abs and hamstrings. We also regularly see imbalances side-to-side hence our use […]

The First Week….

Well, our first week of training is in the books. And a successful week it was! We had many new faces join our community and they were greeted by several old (read: “experienced”) faces when they came in for the first training sessions. As a coach, it was great to see experienced athletes helping new […]

Coach’s Notes for the Week

Almost everybody’s on the same page this week! Just starting out in a new gym, possibly with a new coach (or an old coach), on a new program. There will be a few of my individualized training clients joining you this week — doing their own program, but just as much a part of this […]
