Member Story! Melodie My name is Melodie, and I’ve been at Fukumoto for 8 years. About 10 years ago, I realized I needed to do something for my physical health, so I began with jogging and eventually found my way to Fukumoto Fitness. Working out at Fukumoto has done wonders for me physically and emotionally, my family knows I'm nicer when I workout. Over the years I've had periods of increased anxiety, but I quickly discovered that consistent physical exercise has bene...fitted me greatly. I also knew this about myself for many years, but connecting and spending time in nature is one of the biggest factors to me feeling well. I tested positive for Covid this past Christmas which really cranked up the anxiety. Things that helped on the recovery process were my Naturopath, acupuncture, some counselling, and I joined the Fukumoto resiliency FB group. I'm thankful for my years at Fukumoto. Once I started at the gym, I knew you were my people! I’ve been so grateful to connect online when we couldn’t meet in person. I did a couple recorded workouts while recovering and I realized I need the connection with the live workout. I know its been extra work for everyone and that, Fukumoto has had to reinvent itself over and over again this year but I'm really grateful for it. All of the coaches are excellent, which makes all the difference! I have really appreciated Brennan and his connection and encouragement. So thanks to Johnny and Jen, and to the team. If I could start hugging people I would! Thank you so much for your honest story Melodie! We appreciate the ups and downs and that you never quit! DO YOU WANT CHANGE & SUPPORT? If you’d like to get started on your own progress not perfection journey like Melodie, please reach out! We’re here for you. 204-282-9507 In-gym or Online #bettertogether #progressnotperfection #builttolast #resilient #winnipeg #manitoba #transformation

TOWN HALL RESILIENCE! Johnny was honoured to be the special guest speaker today for the annual town hall @umkinrec @bisonstrength @umbisons Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management (FKRM). Tasked with giving insight into what a business in our field is going through and the way we’ve responded is hard to put into words and especially if you have 5 minutes to do it! ... The theme was resilience which a word we latch onto and have actually 3 separate programs or resources with that word embedded! (Online training, 12-week super accountability program, and free Facebook group the Resilient Club). Johnny talked about big ongoing challenges you can imagine...financial, relational, political...but also more importantly about changing mindset to adapt! The main question posed was to assess in whatever challenge you’re facing...are you going to quit or keep going? If you quit something maybe that is the right choice if it’s really unhealthy or you need to move on BUT... If you know that it’s right for you to keep going (I said if it’s right...not if you FEEL like it) then we need to focus our energy on what we CAN do today! Then we are free to INNOVATE or HELP or use HUMOUR or simply be ok with getting through today and having HOPE for tomorrow. Don’t wait until this is over to realize you have control over your response. It won’t be perfect and you will screw it up and things are HARD (and feeling that is a normal part of this) BUT maybe we can make things a bit or a lot better in the meantime by not being drained by our own negativity? If you’ve fallen down you CAN get back up. The world needs you! And there is a new you being forged in this process as things won’t be the same exactly. I’m confident you CAN choose that to be GOOD. who is with us to KEEP GOING day by day aiming to respond with resilience? #progressnotperfection #builttolast #resilient #bettertogether #manitoba #winnipeg

Member Story: Gloria! My name is Gloria Nikkel and I have been @fukumotofitness for 2 years. I live a loud and full life with my husband of 27 years, 3 adult children who are living at home during university and 2 teenage foster siblings. I was recently told I had awesome "consistency and effort".... Without sounding too dramatic, my consistency award is 100% completely out of necessity. Living in a pandemic, normal school as we know it has shut down as have many supports for the most vulnerable and needy children. The past year has been a "Groundhog Day" of getting up and homeschooling day in and day out with nowhere to go. Do you remember the movie Groundhog Day with Bill Murray about a guy who wakes up and realizes that every day is the same? Not to give away too much for those who have not seen it, but he does go a little "postal" and drives off a cliff with a rodent. Enter Fukumoto Fitness and the people within are a big reason why I have not driven off a cliff. My 9 AM class with Brennan is what got me up and continues to getme in the right brain space for the day. Knowing someone is expecting me, someone who knows me, someone who shouts my name and gives me virtual high fives, people who laugh and dance and do weird things all the while giving hope to our bodies and brains. So this is why I got an A+ for consistency; because I needed to make the choice to save myself daily. In regards to effort; if getting dressed and showing up gets me an A+, then Johnny,send my report card to my mom. All that to say, there are many days I do not feel like doing my workout, but I ALWAYS feel better having done it. I wonder? How many people would agree, that FF has not just been exercise throughout a pandemic, but so much more and has, in different ways, saved us. For this I am gratefulfor your life purpose; Jen Johnny and crew. Most sincerely, Gloria Thanks you @gloria_nikkel for your honesty and inspiration! Do you want change and support NOW? 204-282-9507 text or call to learn about how to anchor to something you CAN control in the chaos of today. Online OR In-Gym! #bettertogether #progressnotperfection #builttolast

You’re a ‘trainer’? But what is your real job? This used to really frustrate me! I used to think...... Why aren’t we taken seriously? How come it is legal for everyone and their dog to open a gym? Do people not understand the degree of education we have? Why do people get no benefit coverage for preventative measures? Why do so many great coaches get burnt out and leave the profession they love to get a real job? Although I can’t say I never think about these things...overall it is a lot of wasted energy. Instead what CAN I DO, or my TEAM do to make a difference: -continue to get educated -offer full-time employment -make up our own rules! When the @umanitoba @umkinrec asked us to be in the Advisory Board, this was a no brainer. Listening, learning, contributing and helping shape the future of the industry here! So cool. Almost 20 years ago when I entered Kinesiology at @wilfridlaurieruni (where I had a great time, had caring profs and learned a ton) it would have likely been too early to have a gym be on such a board. So much like many other things that are energy vampires these days...I encourage you to let that crap go! And ask yourself what CAN I do to make things better? It’s easy to whine. And it’s not to say the issues aren’t real...but our whining ways us down people! (Again I am not nearly close to 100% whine-free living but progress not perfection). what is 1 small thing you CAN do today instead of whining? Love to it below! #winnipeg #manitoba #advisoryboard #whatcanyoudo #bettertogether #progressnotperfection #morethanagym

Member Story featuring Kimberly! When the pandemic began, some people managed well but it wasn't that way for me in the beginning. Our boys were sent home from school, our chiropractic centre closed temporarily, and many other things including gyms were closed down. I was mentally struggling to get through each day. Exercise was always a way for me to stay balanced, both physically and mentally but let exercise take a back seat (a big mistake). ... I am not upset about the choices I made as I was doing my best in a tough situation. In hindsight I see how a lack of exercise and connection to the Fukumoto community exasperated the issue. Once gyms reopened I got my butt back to FF right away, (and cried my first class I was so happy to be back). When going into the second shutdown I made a mental contract to be more committed to my Fukumoto online exercise routine. I treat these classes like appointments. Having the camera "on" helps coaches stay on top of our form, to encourage us, and to occasionally remind us to push. I now get online generally 3x per week and add in my own movement skills like kettlebell work I have learned from Fukumoto. My fitness may not be back to pre pandemic levels but it is much improved and I continue to move forward. Most importantly I feel emotionally better, more stable, more equipped to take on outside challenges after taking a few moments to train, focus on myself and movement. I feel like I am steering my ship again, full steam ahead. Thank you Fukumoto for being so creative, for never giving up, for helping us get through this one class at a time. I truly believe movement heals hearts, souls, bodies and minds. Thanks @canadiankimberlydc for sharing your story. What a comeback! If you’ve been knocked around and need strength, support, and results both mentally and physically, WE ARE HERE FOR YOU. We will be open on-site SOON and also are care for many people online!TEXT or Call 204-282-9507 and be #bettertogether with us! @fukumotofitness #progressnotperfection #builttolast #winnipeg #worldwide

Member Story: Cathy Hi everyone!! I miss my 9 am class. I've been coming to Fukumoto fitness for at least 5 or 6 years and I can't imagine going anywhere else.... This year had been unusual for me along with everyone else for sure. Back at the beginning of covid, way back in March, my business as a wedding dress designer came to a grinding halt as weddings were postponed and derailed as a result of the restrictions. I pivoted and started making masks. I thought I would just make a few. Well, hundreds later, only recently have they tapered off. I am so grateful for any of you who bought from me, it mattered. So thankyou! Any of you who bought from my first 50....I'm sorry, lol !! Those were grim. It was an unexpected flurry of scrambling for elastics ( it was in demand and extinct like toilet paper), nosewire, and filters, expedited shippings and large quantities and working through the night...many, many nights. Still grateful. As well , my husband and I have 2 other businesses of which 1 of them we aquired during and because of covid. Working out wasn't a priority. But in the last several weeks things have settled down and I've been able to get back at it and it is so very good. I love the recorded classes (FF on-demand), I can repeat the same class if I choose or just add an extra set if I'm feeling it. I've got my setup working for me on my own time and although the classes that I'm using are recorded, I still feel connected. Thank you Fukumoto Fitness although we certainly are better together, apart for now is working just fine. I encourage anyone who is looking to make a positive change in a positive community to reach out! You will not regret it! I am proof of that. Start your Progress Not Progression story now and FEEL BETTER soon like @cwiebeclothes We have completely ONLINE fitness accountability programs so you are consistent! Your mind and your body need to make a change! So make those changes with those who’ve guided thousands over the last decade plus! #progressnotperfection #bettertogether #builttolast #worldwide #winnipeg #fitness #resilient

Merry Christmas from the Fukumoto Fitness Team! Fukumoto Fitness #merrychristmas #bettertogether

Legally allowed to open but... Gyms can open but most small businesses in this space can’t help people in any kind of group. This unfortunately is HOW we serve our people. ... We are polling our members for their interest in other forms of on-site legal service but things aren’t making sense to many gym or yoga or cycle or (fill in the blank). This graphic from @foxkurtis demonstrates our situation. Yes, you may need to look again. Choices made on our behalf with little to know communication or reasoning end up like this. What is happening? @cityofwinnipegofficial Or Province of Manitoba? We will continue to sort out next moves with care and thoughtfulness as we always have but things like this tend to feel like we are not in this together ... Fall down seven times, get up eight! We will adjust and overcome! @fukumotofitness #winnipeg #manitoba #needanswers #bettertogether #

Merry Christmas and Happy Holdiays from the Fukumoto’s! We wish all of you a safe and meaningful time and want to encourage you that you matter, are loved, and are able to make an impact in someone’s life by even a small action. Send a message, make a call, write a card and tell someone why you appreciate them and affirm them that they will get through these challenges.... Will you do this? You CAN. In a time that will likely be lonelier for many...make that difference today. Better Together!!! #merrychristmas #bettertogether #progressnotperfection #builttolast #love #makeasmalldifference
