Oh, 2020 - I don’t know what to say. You were the longest and the shortest year... I had BIG expectations about what you’d bring and you let me down in a lot of ways but I can also say you showed up with some pleasant surprises along the way also. There’s no way to sum up 2020... Tomorrow we will wake up, maybe a bit later then usual, and we’ll still be in the world we’re in, with the choices we’ve made that got us to this point. If I could sum up my feelings about the year or the new year to come it would just be that I have NO F*CKIN IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON.. but I’m still going to show up, because that’s all we can do for ourselves and for the people we love... and that’s a promise I’m willing to make

Back online again after what felt like the longest and shortest year of our lives. What we’ve learned is that this place is more than 4 walls and rubber mats. This place is a feeling, an energy, a community. So keep showing up, however that looks for you.. and we’ll be right here for you, because, really, this place hasn’t gone anywhere.

How much exercise is enough to be healthy? You might think this is a difficult question to answer but be grateful, it’s not.. Researchers have spent their entire lives figuring out what and how exercise can keep you healthy and I’ve got even better news for you - it’s not complicated or too time consuming. The American College of Sports Medicine exercise testing and prescription presented a weight management goal in 2017 for adults suggesting that 150 minutes A WEEK o...f moderate intensity physical activity is enough to prevent weight gain and maintain good health. That’s 2.5 hours... A WEEK. I am not a believer in the phrase we all have the same 24 hours.. however I do believe if you have time to watch a 1 hour episode of Greys, balance your check book, straighten your hair, shop on Amazon, browse Pinterest, create a list of all the things you love about yourself - you have time for 30-40 mins of workout a day. Are the things I listed important to your health? ABSOLUTELY! Is exercising equally as important to your health? ABSOLUTELY! There are still a lot of questions to be answered about COVID-19 but one thing has stayed true and consistent since the pandemic began - those who are of good health in mind AND BODY are far less likely to contract the virus AND those who do are far less likely to experience severe symptoms. #iolitefit See more

Over the past 2 months we’ve been running select classes by donation to help raise money for My Sisters Place in Alliston. Thank you to everyone who participated and donated. Because of you we were able to raise over $1400, which was donated last week, just in time for Christmas . I am continually blown away by the grace and generosity of this community. During a time when our own problems may seem too over whelming you all consistently show up for others, giving what you c...an and never asking for anything in return. Here’s why we’re helping and how you can to: My Sisters Place is a not-for-profit organization providing a broad range of services for women and their children living with the consequences of violence and abuse. Shelters across Canada, like this one, were already working with inadequate resources before the Covid 19 pandemic began. Now, more than ever those who suffer from gendered based violence need support and funding. The United Nations has called violence against women and girls a "shadow pandemic" as the COVID-19 crisis fuels social isolation and tensions caused by concerns over health, safety and financial security. Crisis centres and helplines have received an increase number of calls since March and are also seeing an increase in overall severity of incidents being reported. "What women are saying is that it's like a pressure cooker in the house and there isn't a valve," - Angela MacDougall, the executive director of Battered Women's Support Services based in Vancouver.
