But, did you know that your recovery and results/progress are also directly correlated to what you consume before, during and after your workout?

Want stronger shoulders? Looking to improve your overhead stability? Struggling to get your first HSPU? Check out these tips from @juliabaynee ... You’re never too good to go back to the basics! And heck, these definitely don’t feel like the basics anyway Pike HSPU are a great drill for building shoulder capacity and strength overhead They’re also a great progression for HSPU against a wall! SETUP 1 find a stable surface to put your knees (easier) or feet (harder) 2 position your hands just outside of your shoulders 3 stack your hips over your shoulders (the closer your hands are to your feet the harder this will be = more stacked) EXECUTION send your head foreword, creating a tripod with your hands + head descend slowly and maintain tension, sending your elbows BACK NOT OUT gently tap the TOP of your head (not forehead) on the ground/mat drive UP & finish with your head through your arms DO THIS Focus on quality reps over quantity when you’re first starting! If you can successfully hit all points of execution mentioned above, then increase volume or difficulty (more reps, less rest, hands closer to feet etc.). If you cannot, make the movement easier by shortening your range of motion (add a pillow under your head) or elongate your pike (move hands further from your feet). Oh, and try your best to have a prettier dismount than me Stay HUMBLE & trust the PROCESS! See more

NEW BLOG Quarantine and the closure of gyms has turned most of us into runners, and most for the first time. This is GREAT news as it is getting people outside (practicing social distancing, of course) and moving! When most of us live in condos, we really value the ability to be able to get outside and move! While running is a great way to build lung capacity and mental fortitude, it is very hard on our bodies, especially when running on concrete. ... The constant impact can in most cases lead to things like knee pain, foot pain and/or shin splints. If you haven’t experienced any of these yet, that is great news! If you have, then hopefully you’re working to get back to a pain-free state. In either case, click the link in our bio for our top tips to prevent injury or re-injury from running! See more

NEW BLOG The last few months have shaken up the entire world. When the pandemic first hit, industries had to immediately adapt and pivot their services online if they wanted to survive. This was of course easier in some industries (eg. retail) than others (eg. entertainment). It was a no-brainer for us: our members always come first. We knew the moment we had to close our physical space, that we needed to continue to support our members by providing the kind of hig...h-quality service we are known for. And, we could not be more proud of our community and all they have accomplished throughout the pandemic! However, even though as a community we have adapted and still continued to thrive, there's still an in the room which needs to be addressed. And that is... what will fitness look like post-pandemic?
