This past week or two I've really been fighting with my inner self Big decision around taking a break from the gym to focus on work . I have so much fear of n...ot being perfect at areas of my life where I'm most accountable. Being the best momma, wife, daughter or leader. I also have had this hang up on my health ( weight mostly) I know the blah blah blah... it's not about the number , it's how you feel etc.... but let's be real !!!!! Everyone has something they are transforming, working on or towards to better their inner or outter self My outter self has always been a huge disappointment for me .... I admit it I'm not the most consistent, I'm not the gym rat, I eat my emotions.... and I show all of that on my body I am a happy person. I have an amazing family, outstanding friends and a husband who never wavers in his support, but .... my weight bothers me. It just does Anyways, sorry for the long post but there is a point. This is my July to present Transformation Tues ( jumping on this fun wagon ) It speaks VOLUMES..... There is only a small difference in weight yet a huge difference in my actual body . in a few months this can happen even when your not absolutely PERFECT .... this is my reminder " IT'S OK" " I WILL GET THERE" "EVEN THE SMALLEST SUCCESS IS SUCCESS" just be proud and this I promise to do THANK YOU Payton Leah Day for your endless support Strong Essentials See more

Lil journey with my client Kristen. I've been working with Kristen for awhile now. Her body mechanics were a good challenge forme but we have made AMAZING prog...ress. Video 1 & 2 are from when we started working together and she started going to the gym by herself. Video 3 was her squat today.This was the last set for barbell squats and I couldn't be any more amazed! 5 kilo (11lbs) more on the bar and bang on form. The 4th video was the video she sent me doing deadlifts by herself. Not only that, but back pain has ultimately decreased to maybe a 1 and less frequent adjustments needed compared to when I started with Kristen it was about an 8 for pain and needed constant adjustments. Congrats Kristen on all the progress mentally and physically. I can't wait to see how you do when you hit the platform in November! See more

Entering the fall season cases of seasonal depression or seasonal affected disorder will be on the rise! Up to a 70% increase in cases! Some symptoms of SAD include but are not limited to - weight gain - irritability ... - feelings of hopelessness - feeling tense or stressed - lower libido At Nexus Health and Fitness we believe in a few practices that will help keep the SADness away... 1) ROUTINE - back to school/work, meal preparation, regular sleep habits all give our brain structure to count on, as well as the nutrients and rest needed to function as efficiently as possible to tackle the daily grind. 2) Nutrition and Supplementation - a Vitamin D3 supplement in the correct dosage can help counteract the drop in sunlight exposures effect on the mood. 3) Physical activity - Many scholarly articles have been written on the effectiveness of physical activity to reduce depression and elevate mood at times being even more effective then prescription medication. Dont just take our word for it though! COME TRY IT OUT! We are accepting new members currently inquire for pricing and promotions!

Everyone always talks about how good @sam_raeanne looks and I agree. I always get asked what kind of leg/ glute workouts we do and to be honest nothing special.... I like to stick to the leg exercises that have been around since day one. If you seen her about a year ago, you will know it works. For a warm up we typically will do some glute activation: Banded monster walks Banded good mornings Glute thrust Next: Back squat Sumo deadlift Pendulum leg press *high stance to target the Glutes and hams * Straight leg deadlift Walking lunges Nothing backwards and pretty straight forward. The workouts will vary each week but thats generally the idea of her training. Any questions hit me up! #train #trainhard #training #lift #lifting #muscle #gym #health #fit #fitness #fitfam #fitnessmotivation #personaltrainer #workout #workoutroutine #legday #legworkout #local #localbusiness

8.5 months pregnant to 4 months post-partum Heres what Jan Miller had to say about her journey. Our bodies change, priorities shift, the balance between freedom and responsibility undergoes a massive overhaul. But that doesnt mean MOTHERHOOD is the end of your fitness! ... Shortly after Jett was born, I started to notice an overwhelming change in myself emotionally, the way I viewed myself physically and was beyond mentally drained. I was falling into the dark cracks of losing myself with motherhood. With having back to back babies, less than 2 years apart my body, mind, and soul were becoming unrecognizable. My boyfriend reached out to Kyle because he was seeing the same change...I was miserable, felt like I had nothing for myself and needed a push to get going again. So he set up 10 sessions with Kyle 6 weeks ago and we have already started a new round of 10 kick my ass, one hour, kid free, mind free, soul breathing, lifting heavy MOM therapy that I so desperately need. Having a baby(ies) is a psychological revolution that changes our relationship with almost everything, from our sense of self and identity to our relationships! Motherhood is one of the most profound challenges that a woman will ever face; but loving yourself inside and out, embracing the body that birthed those beautiful children and being the healthiest mama possible! Every mama deserves to have something that soothes her soul, lifting heavy with Kyle is my me time, 2X a week for 60 minutes. Thanks Kyle for helping me find myself again. Looking forward to continuing this postpartum transformation times 2!

A friend of mine gave me Kyle Rayners number about a year ago to sign up for a membership and some training at Nexus health and Fitness. I met with him and gave him a few goals I had in mind and told him what I was looking for.. things were good until covid hit and I treated my body like a piece of shit.. Kyle reached out and got me back on track. Since then Ive accomplished and surpassed every goal I set. He has gone way above and beyond any expectation that I had. It was originally a trainer/client relationship but somewhere down the line he became a good friend. (Pictured left aug 20, 2020)(pictured right June 12, 2020)

This mornings session with @aakerslake called for banded deadlifts! Notice how she has no shoes? ...No she did not forget her shoes, this was done for a reason!... When we are doing a deadlift or squat the main foundation of those lifts start at our feet! Most running shoes have some sort of cushioning that absorbs and collapses at the places where we put the most pressure. This causes the feet to become unstable and can make our form in the squat and the deadlift to be off. When performing a squat or deadlift either take your running shoes off or wear a flat shoe such as Van's, Converse or Metcons. The flatness in the shoe or lifting in your socks will make you more able to ground your feet causing your foundation for your squat and deadlift to be more stable. Great work today Amanda!

Ive always been overweight, well not always, but at least for as long as I can remember. This year I turned 40, I never really took good care of myself, the scales were up to around 293 pounds. I had heard good things about Kyle Rayner and Nexus Health and fitness. I made an appointment with Kyle to see about weight loss. He introduced me to a program called Bioprint. It was a rather quick and painless visit, he took some measurements and set me up with a meal plan. The f...irst two weeks I lost 20 pounds, after that the weight continued to come off, only a little slower. After about a month I decided to see if Kyle would help train me at his gym, he is very knowledgeable and has a great sense of humour. It is really a great environment at Nexus. If you stick to the plan, things will work. Its been only 9 weeks and Ive lost 47 pounds. - Dan Clapp

Meet Lori! She is my spirit animal. I remember when I first met Lori in Fitness Factory. She came in, found the heaviest weights to use and didnt complain o...nce. Her work ethic is amazing and the results are shown with her strength progression which is her main goal. Happy to have you on the team Lori! Dont ever change #fit #fitness #gym #train #lift #strength #strengthtraining #womenempowerment #womeninspiringwomen #weights #weighttraining @ Nexus Health & Fitness

I joined Nexus back in July 2019. I started in Fitness Factory, and really enjoyed it, I was given a tour of the big gym and thought Wow! these people have been... doing this for a long time, there is no way I could do that, so I became quite comfortable in the fitness factory side, not that there was anything ever wrong with that, I was happy with my physical improvements and Peyton is an awesome trainer! And then covid hit and everything was shut down, So months later and the gym opened up again I decided to return, only this time it was to the big gym with the heavy hitters! I must say that I was a little afraid at first, but that quickly dissipated! I was put in touch with trainer Amy, and I must say, i am having the most fun! You guys were so welcoming and Amy.. your encouragement goes above and beyond, I laugh now what i was so afraid of! So thanks guys and gals at the best gym in Thunder Bay! You guys sure know how to make a girl feel welcome and feel awesome about herself! You guys rock!! See more

I took a leap of faith and contacted Kyle for a tour of the gym last year and haven't to looked back since! I started in Fitness Factory, doing 30 minute HIIT c...ircuit and moved into the main gym just a few months later. It's a hard step to take when I've never been in a gym before and felt intimidated. Everyone I've met has been welcoming and encouraging, cheering on each other for beginners like me or those who have been pursuing gains and goals for years! I highly recommend Nexus, it truly is like family! See more
