MANITOBA JUNGLE GYM We’re getting excited for the outdoor vibes at our jungle gym this summer! Summer 2021 let’s goooo... Located in Pinawa, Manitoba

It’s the day after New Year’s Day.. the wine and food hangovers are almost gone Many of us (me included) start to think about what 2021 will bring, what we want to accomplish, and what we want to work for. The typical new year quotes are getting a lot of heat on social media, but if I’m being honest a new year always brings me a fresh perspective, outlook, and excitement for the year to come. ... Sometimes a new year gives us an extra push to try something new, to focus more on our health, to do that one thing we’ve always wanted to do- and I’m totally here for it. So if you are like me and love the new year vibes and motivation- let’s own it My new notebook is filled with my January goals! What do you have written down in page 1 of your 365 day story book? : @reanneberard

Happy 2021 The forecast looks perfect for an outdoor adventure this weekend. We’re open Saturday and Sunday 12 - 4 pm for snowshoe rentals. Come out to Pinawa... and see where the snowshoe trails take you. Rentals must be booked in advance and can be booked online at www.pinawaunplugged.com or by calling 204 340 5149. See more

Happy New Year 2021 let’s goooooo

JUST HIT PLAY. Coming at ya for January

SO ready to bring back the high-fives in 2021 My mind is going 1000 miles a minute thinking and all of the fun events and classes I want to plan for 2021 We didn’t get to offer everything we wanted or had planned for 2020, so 2021 we are COMING for ya... What’s on your 2021 bucket list?

Hey everyone! The Local-Motion team will be on holidays starting December 19th for two weeks Stay tuned to our website and mailing list for new year registration and announcements! ... Please direct any questions you may have to [email protected]! I will do my best to answer in a timely manner I will be taking a break from Instagram/Facebook/ and text messages over the holidays Thank you everyone for supporting us during such a crazy, unpredictable year. We definitely will not forget this one! See you all in 2021. We have some pretty sweet stuff planned

SANTA ZOOM CHALLENGE Do you have a zoom meeting this week? A zoom workout? Try this little fun challenge we did with one of our classes last week:... Ask your clients or meeting participants to put a Santa hat on the top right corner of their computer Every time the trainer or meeting host wears the Santa hat, everyone keeps their own tally to keep track! At the end of the meeting, you must complete ten squats/tally! Make sure you have everyone muted in the meeting and they have speaker view on so they can see when you’re wearing the Santa hat! Make sure to get them to post online and tag you so you know they completed the task and how many squats they did! If you get your class or meeting to try our #santahatsquatchallenge we would love to see, give us a tag! How are you adding some fun to your zoom workouts and meetings during the lockdown?

WILL POWER Recently I listened to a podcast on The Happiness Lab. It talked about how to KICK Bad Habits. Check it out.. Most of us are very good at understanding what we need to do better to be healthier, to be more financially stable, to have happier families- most of us know what these things are! ... Mistakenly, most of us believe changing this behaviour needs willpower and hard work. We admire will power and we view it as a very positive attribute. But will power doesn’t really work When you exert willpower and CONTROL your behaviour, what you are doing is you are THINKING about the thing that you don’t want to do. And in doing so, you give it energy to keep reemerging. So there is a self-defeating aspect to will power that gets in our way. So what do we do? We need to be working smarter, not harder. When you observe people when they are being effective at doing a behaviour, say eating healthily or saving money for the future, what they are doing is they are not exerting will power- what people do is they set up the situations around them to make it EASY to repeat the desired behaviour. And they repeat it over and over so it becomes automatic. Engaging in routine is the secret to changing bad behaviours. Habit formation- habits are the behaviours we repeat until they become mental shortcuts. Habits require a reward at the end (endorphins from exercise, for example). Habits also require a second component- the routine. A routine is the specific sequence of actions that get us to the reward. Want to start some new, good habits? Try this out! See more

Functional training Swipe to see why Seriously though- we train for life. Need to lift your baby out of your crib? Romanian Deadlift. ... Need to pick your kids toys off the ground? Squat. Need to push your husband out of the way? Press. We work hard to be able to perform these daily tasks. To have endless energy. To be strong. To feel great. See more

We’ve been loving the challenge of creating home workouts for our virtual clients!

What’s your favourite home equipment you’ve been using during the lockdown? As we continue to prep our video on demand membership program for January, we want to know what YOU have at home to sweat with! ... Comment below, and you might just see some custom workouts created with your home equipment in our video libraries : @kiexfoto See more

This was the best- mommy and me bootcamps I just want to give all the new moms a big virtual hug experiencing new motherhood and not getting moments like these Sometimes maternity leave can be lonely at the best of times, and not getting to socialize with other moms during this transitional time in your life makes it even harder... I see you, I’m here with you, and I can’t wait until we can have our little ones together again Until then, how cute is this adorable throwback? See more

It's time to take a step back and appreciate all the little things around us. Some days it will be a challenge, especially as the colder months draw near, so we wanted to offer a little support. As we enter another lockdown, I will be starting a FREE Facebook Support Group for anyone that needs a little extra support/love/motivation/encouragement. ... It will be a group to share daily gratitude, to encourage movement of any kind, and to stay connected. If you want in, send me a DM Stronger together : @reanneberard

Looking through old videos, and some crazy, fun classes where we got really close I’ll be sharing lots of these memories the next month!

2020, you sure have put us through the ringer I feel like I am limping into 2021 coming out of a year long business battle. A new baby, two business shut downs, and many struggles along the way. Although I may be limping, we are going to get through that 2020 finish line. I choose to embrace the badass warrior energy that you all give me, and I refuse to give up. ... It's like you see that finish line, and you just want to throw in the towel, but instead, you push yourself to sprint all the way to the end giving it everything you've got. If you would like to support us during these crazy times, we are offering virtual classes and virtual personal training! I know that we will continue to be stronger together, moving together.

Friday shoutout to our amazing trainer James James works full time at CNL, and works evenings/ Fridays/ weekends at The Local-Motion He is the most hard working guy I have ever met... James starts his days at 4:45am heading out the door to workout, and makes his way home most days between 7:30 and 8:30pm His Monday/Wednesday Circuit classes always fill up so fast as his experience and expertise are second to none He always has a full client load for personal training and group training (he’s training right now as I post this)! A couple fun facts about Trainer James: He is a crazy, die hard Steelers fan He loves fishing and coffee He is an awesome cook He can chat up a storm with absolutely everybody He started his training career in his parents basement ps. his birthday is coming up next week COMMENT below an exercise you’d like him to do for his birthday workout (he has no idea I’m posting this)

Now that I have a little one, this throwback Thursday makes me cry https://youtu.be/3tMqWDxRpM8

YOU HAVE THE SAME AMOUNT OF HOURS IN A DAY AS BEYONCE When I first heard this quote I was like HELL YA #motivated But then I was like whoa. I’m barely getting by as it is. Now I kind of feel like shit ... I’m doing the best I can, and it’s still not enough? Then I realized.. you know what Beyoncé has? HELP We can’t do it all by ourself. This lesson I have learned over and over. Becoming a mom has taught me this on a daily basis. Being a small business owner, I always had to do everything myself. This doesn’t include the day to day work of training, teaching classes, prepping, and all that fun stuff. It also included cleaning the gym, running my finances and bookkeeping, marketing, social media management, and SO. MUCH. MORE behind the scenes. I never asked for help because you know Then BAM. Motherhood. How can I run a successful business (during a pandemic), be a good mom, a good wife, a good dog owner, and find time to look after my own health? The answer- ask for help! The small things can turn into big things! I now have a great friend that helps with walking my dogs on a weekly basis, someone who cleans the gym on a weekly basis, and an amazing family who helps with Julian two days/week! Even these small things that don’t cost a lot of money to seek help for can truly take a huge stress load off of you! Maybe for you it’s asking a friend to watch your kids for an hour so you can get a sweat in. Or maybe it’s having someone come in to clean your house for you once and a while. Whatever it is- trust me when I say HELP is the secret ingredient! Sending you all of the positive vibes for a great week ahead : @reanneberard

Two drop in spots open! Costumes are encouraged (and will be rewarded) for this class

Hey guys! Tomorrow one of the spin bikes and the plyo boxes will be out of use at The Local-Motion from 8:30am-6:00pm. Trainer Madison will be in a 9 hour course for her Indoor Cycling Instructor Certification! ... (I’m using the boxes as my desk) If you try messaging me and I don’t respond right away, I’m trying to be a good student! Thank you!

Starting Monday, Masks are mandatory at the Local-Motion for members while not performing an exercise! What does this mean? Please enter with your mask on.

For many this includes operating below 50%, and even below 25%. Please be courteous of the new rules in place, and continue to support your local fitness facilities See more

Good job bootcamp ladies on the pumpkin hunt tonight! Some of them are pictured below! CONTEST ALERT We’re leaving our pumpkins out around town until Monday!... To encourage getting your kiddos out being active we’re holding a little contest! Head out for a bike ride or walk and hunt for the pumpkins! When you find one, take a selfie in the pumpkin location and TAG US on this page! The winner will receive a free JUNGLE GYM workout for the family for summer 2021 NOTE: Please do not touch or move the pumpkins. This is a contactless COVID friendly contest

Happening today! Don’t forget to leave those pumpkins where they are

Hey people of Pinawa! Tomorrow I will be hosting a biking PUMPKIN HUNT for my BOOTCAMP CLASS If you find pumpkins around town please don’t take them home or move them... If anyone wants to host one for the kiddos in town it would be a fun COVID friendly activity! I’m having each pumpkin numbered (no contact with pumpkins this way), and everytime they find a pumpkin and complete the exercise task that coincides with that number (they’ll each have the document with the numbered tasks along with them), they take a selfie with the pumpkin in the location! The goal is to find as many pumpkins as possible! If you’re out and about tomorrow evening between 6 and 7pm give them a little cheer and encouragement!

What would you like to see us offer in OCTOBER?!? Let’s hear it in the comments!

This is exactly how I feel after our Fall Fitness Retreat We began planning this event in 2019, and when COVID caused the shutdown in March and we had to postpone the event, we were unsure if we would even be able to still host it. We had so many highs and lows planning the retreat this year! Well here we are a couple days after, and I’m so incredibly happy and grateful Thank you to everyone who came out for this special day! I look forward to it every year and you guys... always bring the fire and fun Thank you to all the amazing instructors and guests who made this event a success! We have them listed in this post below Until next year United Boxing-Phil and Keli Kailey Lefko- Yoga Stephanie Relke Strong by Caroline- Zumba Ashley-DIY Homesteader Festival Colins House Pinawa Unplugged-paddleboards Small Town Dreams-koozie favours Stephanie Hampton- rock favours Jennifer Byskal- energy ball favours Caroline and Tammy- kayaks Brigitte Demyd- massage therapist Carly Suski- massage therapist Justina and James- The Local-Motion Team

HUGE thank you to Small Town Dreams for donating these as part of our favours for our Fitness Retreat next weekend! Make sure to check them out

Although we can’t get this close at our classes right now, it still feels SO good to have group classes back Fitness classes are an amazing way to build strength, confidence, and crush personal goals If you don’t want to invest in the price of personal training, fitness classes are an amazing alternative... Accountability is a great benefit with fitness classes! Committing to specific days and times each week is the best way to make it happen Plus you get the added benefit of being part of a motivating community (which I think is the best part)! What’s your favourite thing about fitness classes?

The bathroom facilities will be closed from 10am-approx 12pm today. Sorry for the inconvenience!
