Meet Kirstin! Kirstin is the newest coach to our team! She has jumped in with both feet and a positive attitude and has used her creative skills to plan some pretty fun sessions for the kids. If you see Kirstin around, welcome her to the crew!... https://ignitegym.com/coach-introduction-kirstin/

Another Coach Intro! Meet Paris. Paris is a part time coach with us. She also happens to be my cousin. We are very similar. We both married different carpenter Brandons from St. Joe. We love staying active, and of course, making children smile by showing them their Bright Spots ! I appreciate Paris's work. She is passionate about the well being of children and has a SERIOUS gift for working with children. She can easily get any child to do anything she asks while making it fu...n. Anyone who knows Paris will agree 100%. Luckily, we scooped her up for a few sessions a week. Thanks for all you do, Paris!

Meet Coach Taylor!! Taylor is currently our head coach at IgniteGym. She has been with Ignite for a couple years now and we sooooo value her experience, positive attitude and endless energy. She shows up motivated and prepared to help each child she sees have a fun and productive session.... She has seamlessly covered the majority of the coaching while I take some time to work from home with my new baby! Thank you for all you do, Taylor!! https://ignitegym.com/coach-introduction-taylor/

Bubble Learning at Ignite!! "My kid won't do the work for me" "My kids need to see kids"...

Grade level skills tailored for each child (K-8) Gym time multiple times/day Here are some of our guidelines we will follow: Individual work stations, materials, baskets for belongings that will all be 2m apart. Outdoors when weather allows Symptom checks upon arrival Frequent handwashing Sanitizer and cleaning supplies readily available Small group. Registration will run on a monthly basis with a weekly payment plan if necessary. For more information, or to register send an email to [email protected] or call 705 206 7100.

It's a good week! We are allowed to open Friday!! That being said, your safety is our priority and we need a few extra days to reorganize and implement some new protocols and procedures. ... I will keep you posted ! See you all SOON!

Show of hands! If IgniteGym was to offer small outdoor groups, would anyone be interested? Just looking to see who would be comfortable with getting kids together again in a small group, socially distanced group outside.

Hi everyone! Sorry it's been quiet on here for a few weeks. We welcomed our 3rd baby into the family ! Wilder can't wait to meet you. We are anxiously awaiting permission to open! We have the Green Light to run outdoor activities and personal training. We are working out the kinks to this as having the kiddos in the parking lot along the busy road is NOT ideal. ... Stay tuned! Hopefully we will see you SOON. We miss you all.

Happy Friday! We all survived another week of isolation. Hopefully the BrainWODs have come in handy keeping the kids active and using their brains! If you are struggling, please reach out. Seriously. We want to help in ANY way possible. This social distancing is difficult on everyone. ... If you need help with food, reach out. If you need boredom busters, reach out. If you need someone to talk to, reach out. If we can make any bit of this time easier on you, reach out! Even though we are physically supposed to be alone and isolated, no one should feel that mentally... We love you all, hang in there. Better days to come. My advise: Keep your brains and bodies busy and well fed with nutritious foods (and eat that extra treat) .
