Ignite Athletics

M O V E M B E R From all of the male staff at Ignite Athletics, we want to spread some awareness of the amazing work of Movember Canada Our fathers, brothers, and friends are facing a health crisis, yet it’s rarely talked about. Men are dying too young. We can’t afford to stay silent.... Since 2003, Movember has funded more than 1,250 men’s health projects around the world, challenging the status quo, shaking up men’s health research, and transforming the way health services reach and support men. Movember is fighting prostate cancer, suicide, and testicular cancer with their donations. Coach Dono will also be setting up a Mo Space where people can make donations towards this charity! Check out ca.movember.com for more information and leave us a comment below saying which staff member you would love to see rocking your favorite style of moustache!

O N L I N E C O A C H I N G We are very excited to announce the launch of a new and special branch of our online programming! What is it?... The Beginner's Physique Template is a 3-month workout program that has been tried and tested by real Ignite Clients. There are three workouts per week that can be done from the comfort of your own home or gym. You do not have to be a current Ignite Client to take advantage of this program. Who is it for? This workout template is for anybody who is interested in Ignite Athletics programming with a focus on building the physique of your dreams. This program is best suited for people who are new to resistance training, or intermediate lifters who currently have limited/no equipment. How does it work? The workouts will be delivered to you via our Teambuildr app. Teambuildr allows you to track your progress and provides thousands of instructional videos to make sure you're doing every exercise correctly. Workouts are done whenever you choose and on your preferred days. How do I get started? Check out www.igniteathletics.com/wpp-beginner for more information, or send an e-mail to [email protected] to register! #igniteathletics #ignitefamily #onlinecoaching #fitness #saskatoon #strengthandconditioning #physique

As the years go by, we never get tired of going back in time and reliving some of the greatest lifts we've been fortunate enough to witness. For today's Throwback Thursday, we have a video of Blake Adams hitting his first 640 lb deadlift at our old facility. Blake would go on to hit even bigger numbers, but this was an especially fun testing day where we were finally getting to see Blake come into his own! Blake was a standout with the Saskatoon Hilltops and then later went on to play with the University of Alberta Golden Bears Football Team! #igniteathletics #ignitefamily #deadlifts #strength #fitness #saskatoon #saskatoonhilltops

H I G H L I G H T From one local company to another, we are proud to partner with and promote Supplement World Saskatoon. When athletes are looking for anything that can give them just a bit more competitive edge, the supplement scene can be tempting, confusing, and scary all at the same time...... Thankfully Josh MacGowan and his crew have always had our clients' backs. Anyone who has worked with athletes knows that they need: 1. Supplements that are backed by scientific literature that actually work 2. Supplements that are certified clean for sport and free of any tainted or banned substances 3. Supplements with good purity that actually provide the ingredients that they claim. And it's for these reasons that at Ignite Athletics we only use Supplement World products at our front desk and in our smoothies! If you or someone you know is in need of quality supplements, Josh and his staff will be happy to answer any questions you have! And grab one of their delicious protein shakes while you're at it! #igniteathletics #ignitefamily #supplementworld #saskatoon #fitness #supplements #strengthandconditioning

T E S T I M O N I A L We hope that everyone has at least one Jorgen Hus in their life. Not only is he a stud athlete, but he's also an absolute gem of a human being. Quick to learn, bringing tons of energy, getting everybody in a good mood, and always ready to take on life's new challenges. Jorgen is a perfect example of what we want to see from future generations participating in sport. A life formed around good habits and a mindset of always wanting to give back to his co...mmunity. It was such a privilege to be a part of his journey to the Saskatchewan Roughriders! To see Jorgen's full testimonial, be sure to check out our website! #igniteathletics #ignitefamily #roughriders #sport #strengthandconditioning #athlete #athleticdevelopment #homegrown

R E M E M B E R Today on November 11th, Ignite Athletics will be closed so that we can honour our fallen heroes and the many Canadians who have served and sacrificed for the freedom of our country. While many of us are staying home and avoiding the snow today, we can still take time to remember and pay our respects.... On this #RemembranceDay, we want to express gratitude to our veterans who have sacrificed for Canada . This day is always a great reminder to not sweat the small stuff, and to be thankful that we live in one of the greatest countries in the world. Wear your poppies with pride today. #ignitefamily #veterans #thankful #CanadaRemembers
