Here are your RC Fitness Challenge Winners! Well folks, the challenge is complete! It was wonderful to hear people talking about the challenge, encouraging each other, and making small changes like leaving the car at home or walking a bit more. Someone even said they decided to take over shovelling their driveway to get points! That is what this challenge was about, to make us all more aware of what we do on a daily basis, and maybe adding extra activities or making small ch...anges to what we do. Not to mention a challenge is always fun when you are doing it with a team, motivating each other and cheering people on. Congratulations to everyone who participated. Team captains for the top 8 finishers will be contacted today to choose an instructor for a private class (to be delivered over the Christmas holiday). Thank you to the instructors who volunteered to teach a class - Nikki Johansen, Arielle Daniel, Ken Eng, Catherine Ardiles, Grace Chambers, Skylar Urschel, Cheryl Houwling, and Natasha Ramm. Top 3 Individual prizes include a private stretch therapy class from Ken Eng, and a personal training session with Inemesit Graham - Catherine will contact you directly about prizes. We’d like to give special shout outs to two individuals that made this challenge well worth it. These two people committed a great number of hours of their lives over the last 3 weeks to this challenge, their time here encouraged not only their teammates to work harder, but everyone else around them. First we would like to announce Tamara Jovic as the winner of the Most Enthusiastic award. Tamara is a shinning light when she is in the club, you will often see her in class with her friends, or down in the weight room. Not only did Tamara spend a countless amount of time here at the club during the fitness challenge she also introduced many new, and existing members to the things RC has to offer including classes, and the weight room. Thank you for being such a great team player Tamara, we are so happy to have had you be part of this challenge. Next, we’d like to announce Ken Eng as the winner of the Most Dedicated award. Ken truly dedicated himself to this challenge racking up a total of 1282 points for his team. Ken is known for his ability to challenge himself, having completed a number of ultramarathons, and endurance events he made it well known to those around them that without the ability to travel this year he would be making the RC Fitness Challenge his personal challenge for the year. RC is so thankful to have Ken continue to be a presence in our fitness challenges, as he always brings a friendly sense of competition that everyone loves. Congratulations Ken! Happy Holidays! #programsattherc #rcfitnesschallenge #happyholidays

CHRISTMAS GREETINGS from Kelli McKim-Barter, General Manager/Owner To say that this has been a challenging year is an understatement. It has been a tumultuous, stressful, worrisome time for all of us. However, we have pulled through and can now see the light at the end of the tunnel. I cannot thank my management team and staff enough for their unconditional support, hard work, patience and understanding. I would have been lost without them and they are the embodiment of T...eam. I won’t lie in that it has been one of the scariest times of my professional life. I have put everything (blood, sweat, tears and financial resources!) into the Club and the thought of losing it was unbearable. However, with the help of government assistance, grants, creative thinking and staff sacrifices, we made it work. I want to ensure our members, that despite the rumors floating around Yellowknife, my Club is NOT for sale and we are very much open for business and thriving. Given that we are in the midst of a pandemic, we have never been busier, even with the reduced capacity restrictions placed on us by the CPHO. The support of you, our valued members, has enabled us to continue to offer top notch programming and classes. I am also pleased to say that I will be back on the schedule in January, teaching two Barre classes per week! So, as this year draws to an end, I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous, healthy 2021. Thank you for standing by us. You have no idea how much it means!
