Happy Family Day weekend to you all! I hope you find some down time this weekend to enjoy your friends and family. We will be taking Monday off but will be back at it Tuesday

When they finish an exercise they don’t like and try to hide so they don’t have to do the other side

January 2021 Challenge Group, this just became your new motto . We still have a few spots left for anyone else that would like to join, shoot me a message to save your spot!

Fear of failure is just as harmful as fear of success. Without stepping in the ring, we never have to own that we weren’t able to succeed. We have to be brave enough to start, strong enough to really try (not a half assed effort) and determined enough to give up the quit and dig for the grit to succeed. ... It doesn’t have to be all or nothing but we have to be consistent. Nothing changes without daily intention and the drive to stay consistent. Does this mean that you food has to be perfect and your workouts have to kick your ass every single day? No, it means that you do better more than not and when you decide to ease up, you do it intentionally aware of the consequence and then keep moving forward. We have two options...step in the ring or observe others succeeding while we sit on the sidelines grasping for reasons we can’t. If you are tired of the can’t, this is your time

Who- Any woman that has struggled with self esteem, personal motivation and putting themselves first. What- Healthy, balanced, sustainable fitness and nutritional coaching that you will actually like showing up for! Where- The comfort of your own home, Perfect time to step into it!... When- 3 days a week for individualized small group classes and 5 days a week for private personal training. (Message me for class times and PT availability) Why- Because you matter! Your mental and physical health matters. The possibilities of what you have to gain for showing up for yourself a couple of days a week are endless. What if you got stronger, dealt with a little less pain, felt better about yourself and found yourself feeling proud of yourself? Would you find the time then? Are you worth the investment?

Online personal training sessions available!! For those who would like to try a workout via Zoom in the comfort of your own home, shoot me a message. I have a couple spots available but they don’t last long, better yet...give the gift of fitness for Xmas and gift your loved one with a few session or group classes

Happy New Year!!! Bring on 2021!! The last year has been a tough one but we got through it with the love and support of each other, thank you all for bringing never ending smiles and laughter through it all

We need this pup to join our online classes lol

Can we talk about that -5 loss off this hard working lady’s waist!!! Over the last 6 weeks we have been focused on building muscle and the results are in! Muscle growth in arms and legs and significant inch loss around the mid section, Good job girl!!

When your hubby sets up new speakers you start the morning ladies off right!! Lol thanks @shane.mortenson #sonos

As most have you have heard, the Province has closed the gym for the next 4 weeks to help slow the spread of Covid. We are taking the news and moving everything online to keep everyone going! Some have been with us all along online so this is simply a slight bump in the road again for us all. Thanks to all who have been so awesome through all of this and welcome to our newcomers :). ... If you would like to join us online, feel free to shoot me a message. We got this folks! We are all in this together

When @hollywoodjenny doesn’t want me to watch her anymore Gnomey gets propped front and center lol

https://fb.watch/2e285v1LqQ/ I am a huge Red Table Talk fan and I wanted to share this episode for a little inspiration for those that are feeling like changing their lifestyle and habits are out of reach. These guests have turned their lives around and share how they did it along with their emotional journey through it.... I am planning our January Challenge with a different twist to help us all get back on track after a year for the history books. I know some have really struggled and feel as though their world seems to have been put on hold but we are charging forward. This will be a focused group of those who are looking for not only physical, nurtitional but also emotional help through it all. You do not have to be local to be part of this and all fitness levels are welcome If you would like to reserve your spot, let me know.

New blog post! We have been hit with alot of adversity over the past few months and I just wanted to take a moment to acknowledge all of our crew who searched for their solutions over excuses through all of this. I also wanted to thank those of you who have found positives through all of this and have been a daily reminder to those around you who have struggled how we really can find joy in the simplest moments despite all of this chaos :) I would love to hear your feedback or stories of the positives that you have found over the last few months. https://hartsmartfitness.com//we-either-find-excuses-or-so

Meet our infamous Kelli J! This lil lady has the best sense of humour and deliverance of sass and she always brings a ton of fun to her workouts. When asked what her WHY is for making the time for herself, I was blown away by her answer... My why... Hart Smart Fitness and I have a love/hate relationship! ... I love Frances and everything she believes in and she hates it when I give up on myself. I have been on a rollercoaster ride with my fitness journey and Frances has always been supportive and welcoming when I come to my senses and realize that I need to put myself first and take care of the only body and soul I have. My why is that I want to treat my body to the strength and power that Frances’ workouts give me. My why, is to help my body get strong and healthy so I’ll be able to keep up with my grand baby for years to come. Frances helps me achieve my goals and encourages me every step of the way! I also like to laugh and love to be around (even virtually) the supportive women/friends who are always encouraging !!! So even when I moan and groan and complain about planks, I love every second of my time with HSF and Frances is the best!!! Thanks for always bringing a smile to all of our faces and working your A$$ off every single time my dear @kellijuneau Kelli Juneau

Bring on 2021!!! Our ladies are setting some awesome goals and I can’t wait to see them crush it!! #womensfitness #goalchasers #strongertogether #letsgetitdone #hartsmartfitness

I love that two of our ladies commented today on how convenient their zoom personal training sessions are, Covid may have thrown a few curves our way but if there’s a will there is a way and these ladies found it! Minimal equipment needed, no driving in the snow and no one cares if you are still in your PJs ;).

This lil face right here . While his mama is working hard in the background, he does his best to entertain us during our morning online class lol. He’s one of the crew @delecia_h Delecia Hoff

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all! I know this year feels very different for all of us, may you find peace with the season and joy in our blessings

Meet Dawn!! Dawn is a busy Lady! Between the responsibilities of being a Mom to two busy boys or the multiple jobs/businesses she manages, she always shows up with this smile right here. Dawn’s response to why she continues to stay consistent with her workouts is pretty inspiring ... Way back when it was because that's what successful people did. So I did it. Mid way it was to keep my knee strong enough to keep up with kids and curl. ... Now because I'm worth it. Because we invest so much time and energy into other stuff and people and we really should be investing our time and money into ourselves. My best self sure has more to offer when I move easier, feel better, have more energy and have had my weekly fix of Frances conversations. I wish I was kinder to myself many moons ago. Kind enough to tell me that taking care of myself and ultimately my body would have given me a better base to support those I love the most. But I'm going to be kind to myself today and say at least I figured it out eventually! I love this response and am honoured to be part of your journey my friend @dawnraeewan Dawn Rae Ewan

For those who are looking for a safe space to train, I have a few spots open for personal training at Eastlink in the afternoons when the facility is not open to the public. Most days it is just myself and my client in the whole gym. You do NOT require a membership on too of training costs, that is covered by me . If you would like to secure one of these time spots let me know as they will go quickly!

Meet Kathy! Kathy has been with us now for close to 7 years and she always shows up ready to get at it. When asked why she stays so committed to her workouts her response was perfect ...It’s so simple , excercise /working out in these crazy times keep you from going sorta mental / helps the immune system and strength. I love that with a busy work schedule we are able to create a space to keep you healthy and happy through it all my friend @kathy.modern Kathy Wolf

@hollywoodjenny suggested we up the game with the bosu added to her rows, she rocked it!

Meet Lisa! Lisa has been with us from the very beginning, over 7 years now filled with sweat, tears and a lot of laughter. When asked what her WHY is for staying so committed to her workouts this was her response... So, my why, is pretty simple. I continue to work out and stay committed because of the benefits to my physical health and my mental health. Diabetes, back issues, and heart disease runs in my family, so I keep working out to hopefully avoid developing any of t...hese issues. I also view my workouts as " me time"... Time where I can check out from the stress and worries bid everyday life and just concentrate on the moment, how heavy can I lift/push? Can I just get through 4 sets? Can I push myself when I feel like quitting? And all the while I have you and the rest of our workout crew pushing me along and cheering me on. The time I spend working out is always well spent! Thanks so always showing up 100% girl no matter what See more

Let’s talk aches and pains... As a trainer we hear all of the time how much your body hurts and how it’s too hard to exercise due to those aches and pains. If you have been sedentary for a period of time, you are going to feel aches and pains as you get back at it, our bodies are meant to move. When we stop moving we lose strength and flexibility which takes its toll on our bodies. Some people might look at a small weight gain as tolerable but all of the extra weight that we... carry adds extra stress to our muscles and joints. I guess the bigger question is, how long do we sit in inactivity because of aches and pains rather than realizing that the stronger we get, the sooner those pains seem to disappear. . Before we write ourselves off as having a bad back, bad knees or are incapable of working out, perhaps we have to really ask ourselves if we have ever held on long enough to build up our strength to work out the aches and pains? #effortorexcuse See more

We will be taking tomorrow off in honour of Remembrance Day, may we all take a moment to reflect on all that sacrificed for the freedom and opportunities that we are blessed with each day

Sometimes salad makes me sad best socks ever @hollywoodjenny haha
