"If you have a penchant for potato chips and the couch in times of trouble, consider an opposite signal strategy that requires little mental effort. When your mind tells you to numb yourself, come to life, instead: Exercise precisely when you most want to cocoon; eat nutrient-dense foods when you most crave junk. A simple way to start practicing this is to go outside for a walk at the moments when you feel the urge to curl up. None other than Hippocrates called walking man...’s best medicine, and researchers have long seen it as the cure for many of our physical, psychological, and even social ailments.... This strategy acknowledges the paradox of well-being that so many of us fall prey to: Our instincts are often wrong, and we sometimes need to do the opposite of what they tell us to do. When your mind says, You feel sadbut you’ll feel better if you eat a whole pizza while sitting on the couch watching television, your mind is lying to you. The unhappiness you feel is actually diminishing your brain’s executive-functioning ability, making it more difficult to make good decisions. Pizza and TV won’t make you happy for more than a moment, but what will help now and in the long term is a good walk outdoors." //www.theatlantic.com/family/archive/2020/11/sedentary-pandemic-life-happiness/617142/"

We missed you guys so much! We are back live in the studio on Monday, with some small modifications.

If your membership is not active we encourage you to book a short consultation to see how we can get you moving once more. Keep in mind *as always mask on, wash your hands... *New* maintain 3m spacing. Which brings me to the next point.... *appointment times must be spaced out as we only have so much space. Please be reasonable and understand we are doing our best to accommodate everyone. Flexibility if you have it is appreciated. There are plenty of morning, weekend and afternoon slots available *pre-booking is mandatory. There are no drop-ins. A strict cancelation policy is in effect for missed sessions *masks must be worn in the gym at all times when distancing can not be maintained. Certain class types such as boxing we will require proper use of ppe *no access to change rooms. Please arrive in your gear. Washrooms are not to be used for changing *if you are unsure if your health, even a little bit, please join your session virtually. It takes a village to keep everyone safe *new morning workout slots will be available very soon. Hit us up asap if you want 5o grab one *drop in class passes will be discontinuing in 2021 passes must be converted to use for pods. Should you not wish to convert, online and outdoor dryland remain options going forward until used up *deep breath. Have fun.

Rolling with the punches once again! 28 days of Live streams coming your way. If you're interested in joining us, give us a shout!
