This has been a stressful year full of challenges and many of us are starting to feel weary as the COVID-19 numbers are on the rise again. This quote reminds us that we have come this far and now is not the time to give up. We must stay safe and strong together. Exercise is more important now than ever. There is some research to suggest that regular exercisers may have a better vaccine response than non-exercisers. If you are worried about your safety while in the clin...ic, please talk to us. Our goal is to keep you moving. We can connect you with our at-home options (On-Demand or Livestream) if they feel more comfortable for you. The key is to have a plan so you can continue to exercise rather than taking the approach of quitting and picking it up again when this is all over. The body follows a ‘use it or lose it’ principle. We lose our fitness and strength relatively quickly as compared to how long it takes to build it. You didn’t come this far, to only come this far. #motivationmonday #movementequalshealth #ultraprivategym #BeOurGuest #exerciseismedicine #livewell #medicalfitness

We often come across obstacles that can deviate us from our routine and our goals and it can be very easy to use that obstacle as an excuse. The elevators have been down at LIVE WELL Kerrisdale for more than a week and for most of our members, that makes it very difficult to attend their sessions, if not impossible! A big virtual HIGH FIVE to those who were able to climb up and down the two flights of stairs to make it in to the clinic! #WINSWednesday #movementequalshealth #ultraprivategym #BeOurGuest #exerciseismedicine #livewell #medical fitness @live.well.exercise.clinic

The first three of LIVE WELL's encourage us to approach our lives with intention. We must be intentional when trying to reach any vision we set for ourselves. By setting time aside each week to plan for the week ahead, schedule our exercise sessions and ensure we have a plan to eat well we are intentional about how we want to live.... By following through with our plans, staying accountable to each other and reflecting back each week on our successes and failures, we create discipline one small step at a time. #motivationmonday #movementequalshealth #ultraprivategym #BeOurGuest #exerciseismedicine #livewell #medicalfitness

Exercise has been shown to increase our lifespan but most of us are not just concerned with living longer, we are concerned with living well during the years we are given. We want to feel good and live our lives on our terms to the very end. Regular exercise can add to our quality of life by allowing us to stay healthy and independent. Remember this week that you are adding , not just days to your life! #motivationmonday #movementequalshealth #ultraprivategym #BeOurGuest #exerciseismedicine #livewell #medicalfitness

Change is not a passive process; It comes from taking action. You cannot expect things to change unless you are willing to change yourself. People can help you along the way but ultimately you have to make the decision and take control to make it happen. ... #motivationmonday #movementequalshealth #ultraprivategym #BeOurGuest #exerciseismedicine #livewell #medicalfitness
