For International Women's Day, we're celebrating the many faces of our dedicated team who identify as "she/her" at Innovative Fitness. These women bring strength and support to the IF Community every single day, from the front desk, to the studio, to the office. For this we THANK YOU!! Give a shout-out below to these AMAZING WOMEN!!

Burning question about YOUR nutrition habits? Coach Sean can answer them next week! IF's Beyond Nutrition education station will be at:... Kitsilano - March 9 White Rock - March 10 Downtown Vancouver - March 11 Come say hello to Sean and ask him about your nutrition.

Pink Shirt Day began in Canada in 2007 when two students, David Shepherd and Travis Price, took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new year 10 student was harassed and threatened for wearing pink. Bullying is a major problem in our schools, workplaces, homes, and online. As the Pink Shirt Day movement grows each year, we see more and more people practicing kindness both online and off. Since 2008, net proceeds of over $2.5 million have been distributed to support y...outh anti-bullying programs in British Columbia and throughout Western Canada. Lift Each Other Up and consider contributing to the Pink Shirt Day initiative at pinkshirtday.ca

The NO EXCUSE 90 Challenge charity of choice for our Kitsilano, Downtown Vancouver and White Rock studios is VGH & UBC Hospital Foundation for their Most Urgent Needs fund. Gifts to the Most Urgent Needs fund are unrestricted, which means they can be deployed wherever support is most needed and healthcare needs can change in a moment's notice. By providing flexible funding, Vancouver Coastal Health partners of VGH & UBC Hospital Foundation can use their expert knowledge to ...direct donor funds to where they are needed most. When COVID-19 struck BC, our hospitals were ready. They were able to safely address immediate needs of a pandemic while keeping staff and patients safe. The Most Urgent Needs fund empowers @vghfdn to identify and support the cutting-edge research and equipment that will have the most immediate impact on patient care. Haven't signed-up yet? It's not too late. DM us for details! #fundraising #covid19pandemic #hospitalfoundation #mosturgentneeds #angels #noexcuse90 #noexcuse90challenge #healthfirst

Habits are the compound interest of self improvement. The same way that money multiplies through compound interest, the effects of your habits multiply as you repeat them. Improving by 1% per day isn't particularly notable or sometimes even noticeable, but it can be far more meaningful and is more sustainable in the long run.

We acknowledge and recognize the injustice and struggles to which Black and racialized Canadians continue to face. At IF, we condemn inequality and celebrate diversity. #BlackShirtDay

At Innovative Fitness we believe in the five dimensions of wellness. Your fitness is more than what you see in the mirror. It’s what you think. It’s how you feel. It’s what you believe. It’s what moves you. Tell us if you're up for the challenge in the comments below. #noexcuse90challenge

When Dr. Bonnie Henry was asked by the press on Jan.14, 2021 (39 minutes in): ...Where are the current cases coming from? Are those groups of a couple of people getting together? Workplaces? Gyms? Larger gatherings...What’s behind the current cases? Her answer:... It’s all of the above - EXCEPT GYMS. https://youtu.be/ZuOH8DHfg4w

"Fun, enthusiastic, high-energy environment. Can custom suit anyone's needs. My story starts when I had my rotator cuff reconstruction surgery and then reconstruction on my left knee’s ACL. I've been here for 11 years and I have no intention of leaving." - Paul Gigliotti, IF Kitsilano client (as posted on Google Reviews).

You probably know that weight-loss requires a calorie deficit (eating fewer calories than you burn). But - did you know that without adequate sleep any weight-loss you achieve will likely be at least 50% lean mass (the stuff that actually keeps your metabolism revving) thus resulting in a slower metabolism and a greater likelihood of hitting a plateau in your progress? This is just one of the many reasons why our Beyond Nutrition Coaches always consider creating and maintaining quality sleep patterns to be an essential part of their coaching process.

Not everyone has a weight-loss goal. What about those who want to GAIN weight? Well, for those folks, many of the basic rules still apply: to remain healthy during a weight-gain journey there should still be an emphasis on minimally processed whole foods, and getting lots of protein, colourful veggies, and enough carbs and healthy fats to keep you energized through your day! The biggest difference in terms of behaviour is not actually wh...at to eat, but rather how to eat: 1. Eat quickly. You’re trying to get as many QUALITY nutrients in your body as you can before you feel full. 2. Eat to 120% full. That’s probably one more portion than you would naturally want to eat. Most meals should feel like you just indulged on Thanksgiving. 3. Utilize liquid calories where appropriate Not trying to gain weight? 1. Eat Slowly 2. Stop when you’re no longer hungry (but before you feel full) 3. Drink mostly zero-calorie beverages Interested in discussing your goals with our experienced nutrition coaches? Contact us at [email protected].

As evident from our recent survey, results overwhelmingly indicate that regular physical activity - whether that be structured cardio such as running or cycling, resistance training such as a weight-lifting program, or even just regular walking - decreases the incidence of mental health episodes commonly associated with depression and/or anxiety. Further research has indicated that these positive effects can be amplified when combined with the great outdoors. Researchers look...ing at the long-standing Japanese tradition of Shinrin-Yoku - roughly translated as forest bathing - posited that the added benefits of exercising in nature come from inhaling beneficial bacteria, essential oils, and negatively charged ions which exist in nature and, in turn, interact with our own gut bacteria. This leads to improved gut health, which subsequently helps to improve both physical and mental health. This is just one of the many reasons that our team at Innovative Fitness have long been advocates for getting out and being physically active in nature. Whether that be going for a hike, kayak, mountain bike ride, skiing, or just completing a personal training session outdoors, we’ve consciously made every effort to keep our clients active in AND outside of the studio. These adventures also help build a strong community of like-minded people!

For #NationalNoExcusesDay we thought we'd have a little fun and make it our own: #NationalNoExcuseDay, so we asked staff from east to west to send in their own commitment to healthier living - starting today. It's National NO EXCUSE Day. If you had an excuse before, don't let it hold you back now. After all, when health is the richest resource we have, what's the excuse?

Sleep quantity and quality could very well be the biggest factors that are currently holding you back from achieving your fitness goals. What’s the magic dose you ask? Seven to nine hours of quality sleep is what most people actually need to maximize the benefits of sleep.... Need help building a solid foundation of high quality sleep hygiene? Our Beyond Nutrition Coaches are here to help!

Living your best LIFE means committing to structure and discipline. When you see a challenge, you find a way.

Success is a matter of habit, discipline and focus, and sometimes repeating the word YES over and over in your mind. Whatever it is you think you can’t do or be.... if you think you can, you’re that much closer to it. Accept the possibility that: YES, YOU CAN!!

Working from home? Have you tried WORKING OUT from home? The commute is incredible. IF Direct helps Innovative Fitness clients stay on track with their health and fitness goals when time is of the essence on those non-commuting days. (Furry workout buddies not included.)

There are three ingredients required to form a habit: a trigger, a reward, and lots of repetition. Applying this to fitness, creating a visual trigger to help you get to the gym could be as simple as setting your sneakers and water bottle, or gym bag, near the door many hours before you intend to leave. In the case of getting to the gym on time, or at all, a reward could be a small gift-to-self like justifying a minor purchase of exercise clothing after a few sessions of ...training. This type of rewards solution may not be long-term sustainable for you, but in the early days of habit-setting it creates a positive feedback loop in your brain. (PRO TIP: avoid using food as a reward. This trap will set you up for patterns of emotional eating behaviour which our Beyond Nutrition coaches advise against.) Finally the real trick to turning a goal into a habit once and for all is repetition. The best way to train your brain to repeat behaviour without having to think about it, is to repeat the same sequence daily for at least two months. Or in the case of getting back to your fitness goals, every other day would be sufficient, as long as you stick to the plan. Hiring a personal trainer who will hold you accountable to your own goals is also a major motivational pull. It’s far too easy to break a good habit if there’s no repetition in place. That’s why Innovative Fitness and IF Direct are offering a habit hacking deal to help you with yours. In fact, we’re offering our best deal in years: 20% OFF a 90-DAY PACKAGE If you purchase a 90-day package we will give you 20% Off personal training.

Do you know what Resistant Starch is?? Take a moment to read our NUTRITION TIP brought to you by our nutrition coach, Sean Allt! Resistant starch is a type of starch which is found in certain carbohydrates and is resistant to digestion by the human body. This digestion resistance makes it kind of similar to fibre.... There have been many studies that have shown that including resistant starch in your diet can have very positive health benefits, including decreasing/regulating blood-sugar, improved insulin sensitivity, improved satiety (feeling full or satisfied from the food you ate), and improved gut health. What are some of the best sources of resistant starch you ask? * Uncooked oats (add to a smoothie or soak in the fridge for "overnight oats" * Green bananas (the riper they are the less resistant starch they have) * Cooked AND COOLED potatoes (the starch re-forms itself into resistant starch when fully cooled) * Cooked AND COOLED rice (undergoes the same process as potatoes) * Beans, peas, and lentils How might YOU try to incorporate more resistant starch into your daily diet? Let us know below!

What's harder, making a change that feels uncomfortable (scary, even) but sets you up for a better/easier life OR continuing to "grind" at a routine that isn't moving you closer to where/who you want to be? Many people get caught in "The Grind" because, for them, it's the status quo. Even though it's exhausting, and doesn't move them forward, it SEEMS easier than making a change for the better, simply because it has become ROUTINE for them. Routine FEELS easier than change, e...ven when change might make our lives easier. A classic example is someone who doesn't get enough sleep because they have "so much work to do" but, ironically, would be more productive/have better focus if they got more sleep, thus requiring less time to accomplish the same amount of work.. Or the person who "doesn't have time to cook" but has the time to drive to a restaurant, place an order, wait for that order to be cooked by someone else, and then drive back home. I don't recall who said it (feel free to remind me in the comments), and I'm paraphrasing here: "The quality of one's life is directly proportional to the number of uncomfortable decisions they are willing to make and the number of uncomfortable conversations they are willing to have." Are you caught in "The Grind", or are you stepping outside of your comfort zone to move closer to your BEST life? - Health Tip brought to you by Sean Allt

What's your STRESS RESPONSE when it comes to food? Some people get stressed and all of a sudden find themselves at the bottom of a bag of chips (or cookies, or anything else for that matter) with seemingly no memory of how they got there. Others might go an entire day before they realize that they completely forgot to eat anything.... Some people experience both of these extremes, but in different situations. By taking the time to stop and think about what YOUR unique food-related responses to stress are, it gives you power to know what might be coming around the corner when you feel stress starting to set in. This creates an opportunity to check-in with yourself and say "hey, I'm feeling a little stressed out right now. When this happens, I often end up [insert your common response here]..." This allows you to catch yourself before you end up at the bottom of yet another bag of chips (or forgetting to eat for a whole day). What's YOUR food-related stress response? Let us know below! *Health Tip brought to you by nutrition coach, Sean Allt

Many people think that if they switch to "healthy" foods, they'll stop overeating and then their struggle with their weight will be solved. Here's the thing: people that overeat are likely to continue to overeat, no matter what the food is. It's important to ask yourself this: ... "why do I overeat?" "Is it because I wasn't allowed to leave the table until I cleaned my plate when I was a kid, so now I feel guilty about leaving food uneaten?" "Do I always eat in a rush and end up feeling over-stuffed later? "Do I eat for comfort, to try and improve my mood?" "Do I eat out of boredom, just for something to do?" There's a reason most people overeat. For most people it's a "solution" to some kind of challenge in their lives. Unless you figure out the underlying issue that your overeating is working to "solve", you're likely to continue doing it. - Health Tip Brought to you by Sean Allt
